Chapter 774 - The Scheme (1/2)

When they heard Ni Hu’s remark, everyone stopped dead in their tracks.

The eyes that fell upon Ni Hu were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with disapproval.

Ni Hu did not realize that his constant provocations had caused the exorcists to lose faith and respect toward the Ni family.

In spite of that, he raised his brows at Helian Wei Wei with his nose held high.

Everyone knew that no one would be willing to lead the team now. Walking straight into the area covered in spider webs would surely mean death, as exemplified by Qing Shan and Qing Shui.

He was convinced that Helian Wei Wei could not remain arrogant in this situation.

However, Helian Wei Wei merely cast a glance at him. Then, she turned around to ask an unrelated question, “Does the compet.i.tion rules still apply?”

Compet.i.tion rules? What rules?

Some of them seemed to be unable to register the fact that they were still in a compet.i.tion.

After s.p.a.cing out momentarily, they merely nodded and said, “Of course, the fastest person to reach the main coffin and the one that clears the most checkpoints wins.”

“Great.” After getting the answer that she wanted, Helian Wei Wei picked up a pebble before marching forward.

Zhuge Yun’s eyes widened roundly as he swiftly stretched out his arms to stop her, “Brother Wei, no! You don’t have to act rashly because of what Ni Hu said! He has always…”

“Act rashly?” Helian Wei Wei blinked and continued, “Oh! Seeing his level, he’s nothing for me to be worried about. Aren’t we still in a compet.i.tion? We need to clear more checkpoints to win.” Her target had always been clear, and it was all about obtaining the Sarira.

Zhuge Yun was dumbfounded after listening to her. So, it’s all for the sake of winning.

No, it’s still too dangerous even if it’s for the sake of winning!

Before Zhuge Yun could even cry out his thoughts, Helian Wei Wei had already took a detour past him.

Ni Hu was greatly infuriated by Helian Wei Wei’s arrogant att.i.tude that belittled him. Thus, he narrowed his eyes, wanting to watch her die a gruesome death.

The exorcists frowned as well and turned to stare at the center gravely.

Deep down in their hearts, they did not want her to die. Some even wanted to volunteer in Helian Wei Wei’s stead, but they had no idea on how to cross the spider webs. Thus, all they could do was stand and wait.

Helian Wei Wei bent over to pick up another pebble. She had already collected seven or eight pebbles of various shapes and sizes, nimbly juggling all of it in her palm.

n.o.body could understand her purpose until she tossed the first pebble ahead of her. Suddenly, a ball of web rolled over. Then, the exorcists’ eyes widened and quivered in disbelief, as they thought to themselves. This works too?

Helian Wei Wei continued to toss the pebbles in front of her while continued doing it unhurriedly. She would only take another step after removing a huge pile of spider webs. Her relaxed and indifferent att.i.tude made it seem as though she was toying around.

n.o.body knew that in the eyes of Mercenary Queen, these spider webs were weak and fragile.

By throwing something at it, the spider webs’ form could be broken. They were unlike modern lasers, which could not be cut at all. Even with optical goggles, one could not completely avoid being hit by the lasers.

Helian Wei Wei twitched her thin lips as she tossed the last pebble. Soon, she had already reached the next entrance. So, she carelessly dusted her hands before turning around and said with her brows raised, “Alright, you guys can now follow the path that I’ve cleared.”

Zhuge Yun was stunned.

At that moment, the exorcists even forgot how to breathe properly.
