Star Trace Gate

Late at night, the light and shadows are blurred and the scene is distorted.

Ren Ye stood in the woodshed and after waiting for a while, he found that he was not teleported away, nor did he see the star gate appear.

"Let's go back to the villa." The guide picked up the simple luggage and greeted softly.

Ok?

No need to teleport, just walk there?

It was the first time that Ren had encountered such an opening. With a little confusion in his heart, he followed the guide out of the woodshed.

After the two of them came outside, he deliberately looked in the direction of his beloved concubine and others, and saw that the scene over there was normal, but the muddy ground that the previous few people had stepped on had returned to its original state, and the two rows of footprints had disappeared.

Oh, it turns out that I am already inside the door. The previous space distortion has completely isolated the travel range of Bulao Mountain from the outside world.

The two of them walked quickly in the night and headed straight for the location of the Bulao Villa.

On the way, the guide dressed in hunter's clothes said to Ren Ye softly as they walked, "The witch master urgently called back the six of you because the relationship between my White Python tribe and the court is becoming increasingly delicate, and I'm afraid something earth-shattering is about to happen. When we return to the villa, you must not meet with other people, and just wait for the witch master's order."

Ren was also stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded and replied: "Oh, I see."

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could think carefully, the reminder of the Star Gate rang in his ears.

[The king is afraid of being more powerful than the master; the minister is afraid of being cooked by the dog. The Lich Kingdom has been established. The White Python Chief, who has an army of 80,000, has a more delicate relationship with the Lich Kingdom's leader and the court recently...]

[The witch leader of the White Python Tribe, Wu Yuanjun, claimed to be ill and recuperated in the Bulao Mountain Villa more than a year ago. The 30,000 Earth Dragon Army and 50,000 regular troops under his command were all stationed in the counties and towns around Bulao Mountain. A month ago, the leader of the Lich Kingdom suddenly sent 50,000 troops from the Sky Dragon Tribe and 100,000 troops from the Golden Wolf Tribe to encircle Bulao Mountain, claiming that they would enter the 24 Heavenly Kings' Tomb and the Witch God Altar during the autumn hunt and line up to worship their ancestors. For a time, the court game between the powerful ministers and the emperor was like a dark cloud covering Bulao Mountain...]

[Your name is——Fo Gongzi, and you are one of the six gentlemen under the witch master of the White Python tribe. The other five people who kowtowed to you and swore brotherhood are Baihuaxian, Dujiuhu, Guitoudao, Weng Sanren, and Da Panglong. The six of you have a tacit understanding, and are proficient in assassination, intelligence gathering, secret kidnapping, etc. Over the years, you have helped Wu Yuanjun to get rid of many troubles under the table. In short, whenever a life-and-death crisis comes, he always trusts you the most and values ​​you the most... This time, he has called all six of you back, and there must be something earth-shattering to plan. ]

【Buddha: Current trust value is 50. In this star gate, every action, every decision, and every task you complete for the witch master will be rewarded with an increase in trust value, or punished with a deduction of trust value based on your performance. If your trust value is less than 50 points, you will be temporarily "abandoned" and will be locked up in the dungeon by the witch master to reflect on yourself. Special reminder, once you enter the "abandoned" state, you will definitely miss a lot of reward tasks and the earning of trust value, and it will even affect the final victory conditions. Every day you stay in the dungeon will automatically restore points of trust value. After reaching points, you can be reactivated. 】

[Duration of the mission: up to nine days. If the final plot cannot be triggered after nine days, it will be considered a total failure and no rewards will be given.]

[Mission time: Day 1.]

[Difficulty of the Bulao Mountain Star Gate Mission: SSS Level.]

[Warm reminder: The six players belong to the same camp. Although they can choose to kill each other, once a teammate is killed, the difficulty of the mission will increase significantly, and the final plot may not be triggered. However, during the mission, if a player dies normally, or is framed by teammates and stabbed in the back and sent to prison, it will not affect any plot advancement. ]

The warning sound of the Star Gate gradually faded away in my ears...

Ren Ye stood there in a daze, thinking in his heart: "Damn, it's actually a cooperative Star Gate mission, and the Star Gate only encourages secret intrigues, but not stubborn infighting. This starts with SSS, it seems so difficult... However, our boss turned out to be the legendary White Python Clan Witch Master. Previously, the people of Qianli Green Camp said that he died of illness, but now it seems that there is another hidden story. The deceased later comer mentioned by the Star Gate left many treasures here. Is this referring to Wu Yuanjun? Or maybe he is not dead at all? After all, he prepared for so long in advance...!"

For a moment, he began to daydream and his thoughts were constantly wandering.

"Master Witch has been waiting for a long time, let's go quickly." The guide urged.

"Oh, okay." Ren nodded, and while silently sorting out the rules in his mind, he quickly caught up with the other party.

……

Walking quickly all the way, heading towards the mountains.

On the way, the two encountered at least a dozen waves of White Python soldiers and scouts wearing silver armor and holding spears, and they were searched inside and out many times.

If it was wartime, then there would be no problem with the troops being stationed in such a vigilant place. But now the country has been settled and it is time to rest and recuperate. The White Python tribe is so nervous, which shows that their relationship with the court... is already very fragile, and they are afraid of enemies everywhere.

After passing through the outer forests, the two finally arrived at the location of the Bulao Villa.

As Ren walked forward, he also saw the north cliff, but... at this moment, the cliff was smooth and bright, without any dried and dark bloodstains.

He paused for a moment and asked the guide, "What do you mean by looking at the north wall?"

"For countless years, our Southern Xinjiang and the Daqian Dynasty have been at war. The national hatred and family feuds are self-evident. This Wangbei Wall was named by our ancestors of the Wuli Kingdom." The guide said softly, "Wangbei, Wangbei, means that we hope that one day, future generations can ride on Daqian and conquer the rich territory of the Central Plains, sitting north and looking south."

"Oh!"

Ren nodded as well, but didn't say anything else.

As he followed the guide, he turned his head to look around and saw the soldier in silver armor and holding the giant spear again.

These soldiers were dressed completely differently from the soldiers of Daqian. They wore heavy armor that covered almost their entire bodies, not revealing any skin, and had short swords, gourds, and crossbows hanging from their waists. They even wore silver green python masks on their faces, making it difficult to see their faces. They held spears about three meters long, and were all tall and heroic. It was obvious at first glance that they were not regular soldiers.

Ren was also a little curious and asked: "These soldiers look very powerful."

The guide frowned and replied, "How come you don't even recognize your own Earth Dragon Army?! In the previous battle in Gepao Township, my lord led 50,000 Earth Dragon Army and dared to counterattack the 250,000 coalition forces of the Daqian Dynasty. Unfortunately, in that battle, 20,000 Earth Dragon Army soldiers died... the loss was heavy. Otherwise, when the Earth Dragon Army expanded to 80,000... even the multi-tribe coalition forces of the court would not dare to respond easily."

Ren Ye heard him talk so arrogantly, and immediately asked tactfully: "I remember that the method of expanding the Earth Dragon Army is very strict and difficult."

"That's right. Before the Pingnan Campaign, two generations of witch masters of our White Python tribe spent many years using secret methods to improve the combat effectiveness of weapons and armor, and used special methods to make giant spears and armor, and only then did they accumulate the assets of this 50,000 Earth Dragon Army." The guide replied: "Otherwise, if there were 500,000 Earth Dragon Armored Soldiers, not to mention Daqian, even this Misty Gobi Desert is also the territory of our Southern Xinjiang."

Ren was also amazed after hearing this, thinking that it was no wonder that the White Python Tribe was targeted by the king and the court. With such an extremely brave army, only the witch master knew the secret method of expanding the army, and the troops only listened to his leadership. Who would feel at ease if it were anyone else?

He was thinking actively, and when he looked up again, he saw the Bulao Villa that occupied half of the mountainside.

Since Ren was also doing dirty work for Wu Yuanjun, he was not worthy of going through the main gate. The guide took him to the narrow side door and reminded him softly: "Okay, now that you are here, you should restore your original appearance. You and the other five people will meet the witch master together later."

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of clear light suddenly burst out from Ren Ye's body. He was stunned for a long time, then he lowered his head to look at the garden pond, and saw that his appearance had changed drastically.

He was wearing a loose black robe and a very eye-catching string of Buddhist beads on his right hand. He was of medium build and had ordinary features. He looked to be in his twenties.

"Alas, my face that looks like Daniel Wu is of no use in this star gate." Ren Ye looked at his ordinary self in the lake and had no sense of immersion at all.

After he changed into the appearance of Master Buddha, the guide took him into the villa.

Let's not talk about the sentries they encountered along the way. It wasn't long before the two of them arrived at the back door of the main hall of the Bulao Villa. The guide took the initiative to say, "Go ahead, walk along the corridor, stop after you see the screen, and wait for the witch master's call."

"it is good."

Ren nodded and walked up the steps.

As I entered the hall, I was overwhelmed by a chilly feeling. The corridors on both sides were very quiet and no sound was heard.

He walked about a hundred meters before he saw three people standing behind a screen.

The three men were dressed similarly to him, all wearing black robes that covered their entire bodies, with their hoods half covering their faces.

When the three heard the footsteps, they all turned around and looked.

The four of them stared at each other from a distance, and Ren quickly took a glance at their general appearance.

First of all, these three people all looked to be in their twenties, and each of them had a personal item with a clear mark on it.

The young man standing on the left was extremely ugly and a bit short, about 1.69 meters tall. His distinctive feature was a green wine gourd hanging around his waist.

According to the clues given by Star Gate, he should be the Poison Wine Pot among the Six Gentlemen.

The man standing in the center of the screen was quite handsome, with red lips and white teeth, but he had the same hairstyle as Sha Seng, which made him look very strange and even a little pitiful.

He has a Mediterranean appearance and is bald, so he should be very strong. Judging from this feature, he should be the Guitoudao among the Six Gentlemen.

The man standing on the far right was very thin, like a bamboo pole. When he saw Ren Ye, a trace of caution and timidity flashed in his eyes, and he nodded immediately, which was considered as a proactive greeting.

Ren Ye recognized his identity at a glance. He should be Weng Sanren among the Six Gentlemen.

Because his features were the most obvious, he wore a jade pendant with the word "Sanren" engraved on it around his waist.

"Master Buddha?" An interesting expression appeared on the face of the Poison Wine Pot, which looked like a car accident, and he muttered softly.

Gui Tou Dao stood there and said with deep resentment: "Why do you have hair?"

"I'm using Rejoice - the hair growth version." Ren Ye replied indifferently.

"?!"

Gui Tou Dao looked confused.

Ren Ye instantly caught his expression and made a judgment in his heart. This player with an avant-garde and fashionable Sha Seng hairstyle should not be from the modern world.

While the two were talking, Weng Sanren, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, said with a somewhat uneasy expression: "Damn it, the story of this secret realm actually involves the dispute between the powerful ministers and the emperor. Since ancient times, those who stand in the ranks of powerful ministers have a very difficult end, and the ways of death are varied and horrible. Everyone... why don't we give up collectively?"

"?!"

Gui Tou Dao looked confused.

The poison wine jug had a dull expression.

Even "Buddha Master" was surprised and asked: "What are you kidding?! It hasn't even started yet, and you're thinking about ending it? Besides, the secret place has been activated... Why are you giving up collectively?"
