This villain, please exercise some restraint.

Lan Shi's two words seemed to be of great benefit to the wolf-tailed boy. The smile on his lips became deeper and deeper, but upon closer inspection, there was a pool of stagnant water deep in his eyes that seemed to be filled with smiles as well.

The words of appreciation from a weakling without much brain did not touch him much.

"I was concerned about everyone's safety and took action out of desperation. For this reason, I am willing to bear the consequences of failure and... everyone's misunderstanding."

"If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak out now. I don't want the conflicts between us to become irreconcilable."

The wolf-tailed boy stood in the middle, surrounded by surviving players who had already approached. He looked around, scanning everyone's faces one by one with a smiling gaze.

"When you made that decision just now, why didn't you tell us about it? Let's not talk about others for now. Lan Shi and I are your teammates. How could you act without authorization at such an urgent moment?"

An Xu adjusted his glasses. He was not dazzled by the large amount of experience points. On the contrary, he felt that his teammate A Kun's behavior was too lone wolf.

"And you said that we are all somewhat prepared. Look at the players who were killed by bugs because of your actions. If they had only been given some reminders and been more vigilant, such a tragic situation would never have happened!"

Xia Xiaotong stood up, frowned and stared at the white wolf-tailed boy.

"Yeah yeah..."

Her words immediately aroused the echo of some surviving players.

"What's more, even if you don't take action, the Great Sage will take action. The core point is found by him. Your approach is equivalent to a critical moment -"

Xia Xiaotong paused. She suddenly couldn't remember those two words.

"...knot?"

Lan Shi, who was sitting on the ground, added uncertainly.

"Yes! It's a k-head!!"

Xia Xiaotong pointed at the wolf-tailed boy and said.

The smile on Akun's lips did not change at all because of these accusations. He lowered his head slightly to hide the disdain in his eyes.

From the point of view of the accuser, this seems like a gesture of humbly accepting.

"Sorry, I saw that my teammate Lan Shi was in critical condition, and the Great Sage was reluctant to take action, so I--"

Before he could say anything, some disapproving players stood up to support him.

"Is it right for the great sage of your team to pose there with a bug? No one can do one thing so perfectly, let alone in an emergency like just now!"

"Yes! I'm afraid your experience points were robbed and you feel unhappy, so just because you're a good player in the team, you come to accuse others."

"I can't say who is who, but I know that he indirectly saved me when I almost couldn't hold on any longer. At least in this matter, I stand by this little brother."

There were also many players who supported the wolf-tailed boy. Immediately, because of this matter, the entire player group was divided into two groups.

"What about him! He is also in Akun's team and is the captain. He is also the beneficiary of this matter. Why shouldn't he be on our side if it's just because we are narrow-minded and care about that little experience value? of!!"

Xia Xiaotong looked at the players opposite who cast suspicious glances from time to time, and suddenly became furious.

She pointed at An Xu with a slightly solemn look on her face and said loudly.

"I'm telling you, I don't care about that little bit of experience at all! The Great Sage has plenty of it, my brother has it, and I also have it. If you don't believe it—"

However, before she could finish her words, she was pulled aside by Qi Dasheng and Ye Jiang, each with an arm.

"Miss, do you know that wealth should not be exposed to others?"

Out of the sight of all the players, Ye Jiang looked at his sister with a little helplessness.

Qi Dasheng released his grip on Xia Xiaotong's arm, folded his hands in front of his chest, and nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"Brother Ye is right."

"So why did you look at that insect affectionately?"

Ye Jiang's next silky question made Qi Dasheng momentarily confused.

After being stunned for a moment, he explained the whole story directly: "As soon as I got the bug, I knew it was the 'core', but there were many introductions about it. When those fonts appeared in front of me, according to habit, I subconsciously read them Look, think about it.”

"And this bug seems to be related to an unknown Gu refiner. I thought - doesn't this linkage involve the Central Plains and Southern Xinjiang?"

"We know that the main characters in the Central Plains are Mian and Ah Qiao. In the case of Southern Xinjiang, aren't they Gu refiners? And the trial of Wan Gu Pagoda, didn't they cleverly combine the two?"

"Do you still remember the official introduction to the Ten Thousand Gu Tower when you first entered the Ten Thousand Gu Tower?"

Qi Dasheng looked at Xia Xiaotong and Ye Jiang. Even though the experience points that should have belonged to him were robbed just now, he did not take it to heart.

What he was more concerned about was the information he got from that Gu worm.

Moreover, he always felt that there was something inexplicable about the Wan Gu Pagoda group.

Looking at the layout of this layer, it doesn't look like "Meng" is a pure test for players, but rather it wants to kill most of the players.

Moreover, as the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance, how could "Mian" be related to such a huge number of insects? According to normal understanding, these bugs should have come from the handiwork of Gu refiners.

After all - Southern Xinjiang is good at Gu.

Could it be that - "Mian" and the Gu Refiner teamed up to "conspiracy" against the players?

"Official introduction, let me think about it..."

"Ten Thousand Gu Tower, a non-natural gathering place for Gu insects?"

Xia Xiaotong looked at Qi Dasheng and said a little uncertainly.

Qi Dasheng nodded.

"If it's not naturally formed, then it's most likely man-made. But...why don't the officials directly state that it's man-made?"

Ye Jiang also noticed something was wrong.

"Even if this tower is the work of a Gu refiner, after all, it is still a human being..."

Xia Xiaotong was confused.

"The known information now is that the 'Reproduction' of the Gu insect comes from the Gu Refiner. The token of 'Sleep' takes us to the Ten Thousand Gu Tower. Judging from the information brought by the 'Reproduction', it seems that the Gu Refiner wants to create a An extraordinary insect..."

Qi Dasheng summarized the known information. He always felt that the information was somewhat related to each other, but it seemed that something was missing.

"From the MV, Mian wants to come to southern Xinjiang to find a way to save Ah Qiao. The Gu refiner wants the Gu worm to be sublimated from insect to human. And from the MV, we see the shape of the bug. On its back, It’s in the shape of a human face.”

"I might as well make a bold guess. Perhaps, the 'nameless Gu Refiner' created such a bug at a certain cost."

"And the so-called alliance leader 'Mian' probably reached some kind of deal with the Gu Refiner and used the token to lure us here."

"And players are the 'price'. Perhaps this linkage is not a simple redemption plot, but a complete conspiracy theory..."

A voice sounded from his side, with a calm and composed voice. Qi Dasheng looked over in surprise.

It's him? ...An Xu, A Kun's teammate, and Xiaotong's...friends.

Seeing Gao Wan looking at him from Xiaotong's mouth, An Xu smiled slightly and said, "I accidentally overheard your conversation. In return, how about sharing the experience points in my hand with the Great Sage Brother?"
