Chapter 58: Hostile Agent?

Early next morning, Gu Nan went outside the town as usual and started to lay out the defenses for a new day.

His three companions also seemed normal. Lu Zhanyu acted as though she had never been to his tent last night, and Dannys expression gave no indication of her intentions.

The second days battle would be much more difficult than the first days, so players must use the support items inside the town.

One high-grade Weakening Scroll, four Curse Crossbows, and a Holy Light Potion, Gu Nan skillfully selected from the items. Those will be enough.

His companions watched him choose and listened to nouns theyd never heard of before jump out of his mouth one after another.

Okay, Ill explain todays strategy. Gu Nan gathered the three in front of him, as if he was clearing a dungeon in his previous life.

Noticing the increasingly odd gazes from his three team members, he could only begin with, Last night, a beggar passed by my tent

Why dont you just say what the beggar told you? Lu Zhanyu interrupted with exasperation.

Gu Nan gave her a look that said Child, you learn fast, and began to explain todays strategy.

The lineup of the second days demon invaders wasnt much different from the troop lineup on the first day. The only difference was that the monster types changed to larger, slower demons with rough skin and thick flesh, resembling moving mountains.

The Holy Light Potion should be provided to the NPC townspeople. After mixing the potion with water and having them soak their weapons in it, the townspeople would be able to deal great damage to the demons.

And this type of potion had no effect on players weapons, so players would need to operate the Curse Crossbows and shoot those demons to death with giant arrows.

After listening to Gu Nans explanation, Luo Sheng couldnt help sighing. To think the second day would already be this difficult Truly, as expected of a five-star mission!

Five stars? Gu Nan stared blankly.

Dont you know? Danny added with a frown, When you receive a mission from the Astral Gate, there will be an indicator of mission difficulty right beside the mission title. The more stars it has, the more difficult the mission.

Gu Nan carefully recalled the scene back then. It seems that there really was such a thing

But when he chose a mission, all his attention was focused on the words Protect White Dew, so he didnt have time to care about the number of stars.

It doesnt matter. The difficulty level isnt very important, Gu Nan said as he waved his hand.

Black lines simultaneously appeared on his three companions faces.

All the battles went exactly as Gu Nan anticipated, from the type of demons to when they appeared. He even predicted the demon leaders strength level.

Whenever someone cast a suspicious look his way, Gu Nan would say, There was a beggar last night

Alright, alright! Who knows why there are so many beggars in this town!

In response, Gu Nan shrugged and spread his hands.

Everyone has their own secrets. Since Gu Nan didnt want to explain, of course nobody was stupid enough to ask.

Spells similar to prophecy or divination could also achieve this effect. The three of them were naturally happy to have such a teammate, so who would stand up and question him?

The four of them used the Curse Crossbows to kill normal demons and personally dealt with the leaders and elites.

The final boss was a Demon King that resembled a mountain of flesh. Originally, its skin was so thick that no one could hurt it, but after taking a Weakening Scroll to the face, there was no room for it to make a comeback anymore.

All of Gu Nans arrangements came in handy, and each item was used for just the right purposenothing was wasted. This made his three companions incessantly surprised.

Normally, they could still make it in time even if they started to consider countermeasures only after seeing the demons, but that would inevitably waste resources to sound out the enemy and cause unnecessary loss.

Gu Nans existence practically minimized the damage they suffered.

On the third day, Gu Nan was still the one in charge of strategy.

That beggar visited again yesterday, Gu Nan started this way. Todays demons are composed mainly of air units and can be dealt with by the mobile arrow tower. But the leaders and the boss are land units and dont really have any weaknesses, so we can only rely on ourselves.

I remember theres one last Weakening Scroll in the warehouse. Cant we use that? Lu Zhanyu raised a question.

Gu Nan raised an eyebrow and said with a slight smile, There will be a use for that laterthats what the beggar said.

Under Gu Nans precise arrangements, the third day still wasnt too difficult, but the four of them spent more energy than the second day.

The third days leaders and elites, as well as the final boss, were already terrifyingly strong. They practically reached the very peak of Tier 2. Not even Gu Nan could solo them, so he could only besiege them with the other three.

Of course, Gu Nan was still the main force. He was the only one who could withstand the bosss attacks.

When the battle finished, the four reincarnators were all exhausted. Three was even a long gash on Luo Shengs right hand, which had hurt his tendon. It was bound to affect tomorrows battle.

Gu Nan frowned at this, but he also couldnt do anything about it.

Although these three were relatively experienced, they still couldnt compare with the games veteran playersat least in the area of surviving on the battlefield.

During the fourth day, an accident finally occurred.

In a fight entirely similar to that of the previous day, a demon actually bit Dannys neck when she became absent-minded, and she was seriously injured on the spot!

Fortunately, Luo Sheng risked his life to rescue her from the battlefield, but as the price, he also suffered heavy injuries.

So that night, Lu Zhanyu visited Gu Nans tent again.

Do you believe me now? Lu Zhanyu asked slowly with a solemn face as she stared at the completely expressionless Gu Nan.

You mean Danny? Gu Nan shook his head lightly. I cant think of any reason why shed do this on purpose.

If a reincarnator backstabs her companions, all it will lead to is mission failure. Moreover, itd be impossible for her to gain any benefits after failing the mission.

Additionally, on the battlefield, countless changes can occur in a single instant, and they also reincarnated with their entire souls this time, so doesnt she also fear suffering a huge loss after backstabbing her teammates?

If Luo Sheng hadnt fought to the death to save her today, she wouldve died on the spot.

Lu Zhanyus expression looked a little strange. Theyre already sleeping in the same room tonight That is Dannys goal.

Gu Nan was drinking water when he heard that and almost sprayed it on her face. You mean, she came here to hook up?

Of course not! Lu Zhanyu glared at him fiercely. Its very likely that shell kill Luo Sheng tonight, because shes not on the same side as us!

Shes a hostile agent, Lu Zhanyu concluded in a low voice.

Gu Nan raised a brow and finally realized what he had overlooked.

Not all participants in world missions would be in the same camp. Participants may even form two sides that are hostile to each other. But not even Gu Nan expected that hostile agents would actually disguise themselves as companions!

Theres a spiritual secret art passed down in my family. From the start, I already sensed that her intentions were very mixed, and she was even vaguely hostile towards me, Luo Zhanyu stated, and Gu Nan also nodded slightly.

If so, then this would make sense. But Gu Nan never knew that the dungeon for Protect the White Dew Goddess would actually have players fighting each other. If this was the case, then the difficulty level would also be ridiculously high.

If I think about it that way, then it also doesnt quite make sense.

That person Back then, why did that person say that?

Lets try to see if we can still save Luo Sheng. At the very least, we have to kill Danny, that scourge, Lu Zhanyu urged.

Gu Nan suddenly raised his head and stared at her until her hair began to stand on end. Only then did he reveal a smile. Okay, lets go!
