Ye Weiming scoffed when he heard Youyou’s words. “She found hints about this mission, but she didn’t choose to do it personally. Instead, she revealed the hints to you on purpose and let you complete the mission. Then, she will ambush you and snatch the Zhuge Celestial Bow away from you, right?”

Youyou nodded helplessly at Ye Weiming’s analysis. “This is the only way to get the Zhuge Celestial Bow without being kicked out of the Tang Clan.”

Ye Weiming nodded slightly to show that he understood.

The Zhuge Celestial Bow was powerful but if it landed in the hands of a normal player, it would just be an unsuitable weapon that one could flaunt during the starting stage of the game. Without a compatible skill, the player wouldn’t be able to release the full power of the Zhuge Celestial Bow.

For the time being, only the skills from the Tang Clan were able to bring out the full power of the Zhuge Celestial Bow.

If the person holding the Zhuge Celestial Bow left the Tang Clan, not considering the fact that he would be chased by the NPCs and players from the clan, he would also be unable to learn the follow-up skills of the Tang Clan anymore. Without the support of these follow-up skills in the future, the Zhuge Celestial Bow would only be able to give him an advantage at the start. After that, he would need to change his kung fu based on what he learned outside. The effects of the Zhuge Celestial Bow would be greatly reduced at that time.

Compared to this route, the plan that Poached Spicy Pork Slice came up with was more thorough.

How sinister!

She was definitely pushing Youyou to her death for her own interest.

This kind of lady was really evil!

Youyou added, “Poached Spicy Pork Slice isn’t alone. She has a few friends who entered the game together with her. Their relationships are very good. They are Niagara Grape, Heart Meat, Jelly Pudding, and Popping Candy, There are five ladies in total and they are all disciples of the Tang Clan. I think that they’re all ambushing us outside.”

Ye Weiming nodded. He glanced up before saying, “That means that there are at least five crossbows waiting for us on top?”

Youyou shook her head. “Besides crossbows, there’s ordinary concealed weapons too, the kind that is thrown by hand just like what you mentioned in the past. Unfortunately, we’re stuck in this place. Otherwise, with the Zhuge Celestial Bow in my hand, why would I be afraid of them?”

“I do have a way to send you up and can even attract their firepower. Prepare yourself. We will act immediately.

“You’re not planning to wait for your blood to fill up?”

“We can only take them by surprise if we act now.” Ye Weiming didn’t say much anymore. He took out Chen Ming’s corpse which he wrapped in a grass mat from his back. Then, he exerted strength in his arms and threw the corpse up the hole.

The instant he threw the corpse up, he moved his body and leaned against the chain below the entrance of the underground palace. He bent his legs slightly and got into a horse stance. He crossed his fingers and placed them slightly below his abdomen. This was the stance the military used in films when two people were cooperating to jump over a wall.

Youyou was a special forces soldier, so the moment she saw this stance, she immediately understood what Ye Weiming wanted to do. She ran forward without hesitation and jumped. The sole of her foot stepped on Ye Weiming’s crossed palms. Then, Ye Weiming pushed his hands up forcefully and Youyou made use of the force to leap upwards. Her body followed Chen Ming’s corpse closely and shot into the air.

The underground palace was only two meters below the ground level. At this height, based on Ye Weiming and Youyou’s skills, it was impossible for them to jump up straight from the ground. However, if he was to throw things up, whether it was Chen Ming’s corpse or Youyou, Ye Weiming expressed that he didn’t feel pressured at all.

Outside the underground palace, at the ground level of the Leifeng Pagoda, the five players from the Tang Clan were surrounding the stone entrance of the underground palace. Poached Spicy Pork Slice was their leader. They stood three to four meters away from the entrance and each of them was in a different direction.

Besides the first round of sneak attack, they didn’t dare to stand right at the edge of the entrance to stop Youyou. They had lost their advantage of an ambush, so they didn’t have the confidence that they would be able to instantly kill Youyou if she popped her head out from below. However, with the Zhuge Celestial Bow in her hand, Youyou would have an easy time killing them. Hence, they stood a distance away from the entrance so that they would be able to congregate their firepower. If Youyou came up, they would attack her together and kill her immediately.

At this moment, the five ladies suddenly saw a white thing flying up from the entrance of the underground palace. Based on the length and size of this thing, there seemed to be someone hiding inside.

Without any hesitation, the five of them attacked simultaneously. They threw all their arrows and concealed weapons at the white thing. They didn’t dare to take the risk. If Youyou managed to land on the ground successfully, with the help of the frighteningly powerful Zhuge Celestial Bow, they didn’t have a high chance of winning even though there were five of them.

However, after a series of attacks, they didn’t see any red numbers appearing on the top of the bamboo mat to show that there was a loss of blood. Just as they realized that they had been fooled, Youyou’s figure had already leaped out of the underground palace. Before they could change their strategy, she had already started attacking them with the Zhuge Celestial Bow in her hand. The Zhuge Celestial Bow fired numerous shots of powerful and vicious arrows. Whenever an arrow was fired, one of them would turn into a ball of white light!
