"Could use a hand here..."
Mu You talked about needing help, but his actions were audacious. He charged alone into the team granted divine right by the emperor. All those who encountered him along the way fled as if they were escaping from the plague.
Of course, it wasn’t Mu You they were afraid of, but the countless octopuses trailing behind him. They had experienced their painful lesson; once these creatures stuck to you, they would incessantly pursue you. Who wouldn’t run?
Mu You didn’t seem to notice this and, reminiscent of Zhao Yun, went in and out seven times. He single-handedly disarrayed the formation of the emperor’s divine team.
Players from the emperor’s divine team were spewing blood in frustration, damn him for using the octopuses as bodyguards.
They initially planned to use the Zerg Strategy to bully others, but now the tables were turned. Their adversary led an imposing array of octopuses to retaliate. In comparison to these monstrous creatures, their human sea was instantly reduced to dregs.
"Let it be, block the octopuses and let him join our team," the Son of Heaven suddenly said.
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Are we really gonna keep him with us?" Demon asked in surprise.
The current situation was different from before. Their adversary already caught up to them here. If they continued to bring him past the Sixth Zone, there would only be the final Fifth Zone remaining.
And in the Fifth Zone, the Ghost Captain was the sole person with a map!
Continuing to move with him now meant that the opposition would soon take their place as the leading party with all the advantages!
The Son of Heaven shook his head: "We have no choice, apparently this person has some other method of finding his way. It’s pointless trying to shake him off. He would still catch up and we would only end wasting our manpower. It would be more beneficial to let him stick with us. After entering the Fifth Zone, we could tail him and use his map to quickly find the city center."
Smile also nodded at this point: "Indeed, things have already gone this far. It’s better to keep him under our watch. This way, at least when he finds the city center, we would be the first to know, preventing him from sneakily seizing the City Lord position behind our backs."
After hearing these two, the others quickly approved of this idea and started moving without any doubt.
A group was instantly dispatched to intercept the octopuses at the rear. Subsequently, a path was opened in the team allowing the Ghost Captain to enter.
"It would’ve been much better to just do this earlier. What a waste of time haggling."
"Stop obsessing over battles. Collaborating for mutual benefits is the best way out!"
Seeing the guy swagger into their formation while preaching, the group intercepting the octopuses at the rear felt like giving up on their task right then and there.
"Mutual benefit... Ha, let’s see if you remember your words once we enter the Fifth Zone." Demon sneered.
"Don’t worry, I keep my word. As long as you won’t cause trouble now and merely block the octopuses, once we reach the Fifth Zone, I guarantee I’ll lead you to the city center. We will compete for the Legacy Crystal based on our abilities." Mu You firmly promised, his determination leaving the others somewhat dazed.
Would you really be this kind-hearted?
To the players from the emperor’s divine team, the Ghost Captain was a super villain who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
How could such a man lower his advantage to assist others in his advantageous situation?
Facing the others’ doubtful gazes, Mu You didn’t explain much.
With people leading the way in front and others protecting from the rear, Mu You followed the emperor’s divine team with ease.
The current time was around one in the morning, the time when Mu You’s Vampire skin granted the greatest attribute bonus. His agility was among the highest in the group, and he easily kept up with the team’s marching speed. He even had some leisure to eat and recover his stamina.
And so, over the next hour or so, everyone watched as Mu you non-stop brought out different kinds of food to eat and drink, leaving others dumbfounded.
This was during the tense competition for the City Lord. Were you on a vacation?
Amid this somewhat strange atmosphere, the group continued on their silent journey.
At half-past two in the morning, they passed the Sixth Zone with exceptional efficiency and arrived at the entrance to the Fifth Zone.
As soon as they entered the Fifth Zone, the formation of the team changed instantly.
Mu You willingly ran past the crowd to the front.
The others instantly tensed up. Starting from now, they didn’t have any map advantage. One by one, all of them had their eyes wide open, staring at the Ghost Captain, fearing he might suddenly pull some trick, escape, and disappear, leaving a mapless group fumbling around in darkness.
Luckily, this didn’t happen. After entering the Fifth Zone and with Mu You leading, he didn’t make any suspicious moves. He simply led the way, occasionally reminding the group: "Stay close. I won’t wait for stragglers."
Seeing his docile demeanor, the group looked at each other, their faces somewhat strange.
"We’re in Fifth Zone and he still guides us this obediently?"
"Even if he doesn’t guide us, what can he do? We have so many people and so many pairs of eyes watching him, do you think we’ll lose him?"
In the team chat, players in-game started discussing with each other in text.
