"Yes, this scarecrow has strong attack power but almost no defense," Cui Ming said. "It seems that the mist mirrors those within it and attacks them. We must be the primary targets since we are together, right near this critical point."
Beiyue drew her right hand, switching her Greatsword to her other hand, and held onto Cui Ming's right hand with her left. This was her accustomed way. Cui Ming's demeanor was serious; this was the advantage of first love—sensitive when needed, earnest when necessary, completely oblivious to what opportunity meant. Cui Ming pulled out a Fate Card and said, "Your nine o'clock position, fifteen meters."
Without turning around, Beiyue sent out four blades that struck a target before returning.
"Eleven o'clock direction, seventeen meters."
Beiyue harvested again.
Suddenly, Cui Ming felt a sharp pain in his back and took a step forward. Looking at the Life Stone, Beiyue immediately turned to protect Cui Ming's back. Cui Ming sighed and called out, "Sister, isn't it a bit inconsiderate to join in at this moment?"
A voice came from afar—it was Wei Wei. "As a five-star card, I must provide value for my efforts. How about this: I'll give you a convenient exit. I won't attack Beiyue; instead, I'll target you and see if Beiyue can protect you. If I land an arrow on Beiyue's body, I'll immediately withdraw from Labyrinth Mountain. Once you two come out, we can continue."
Beiyue whispered, "She seems unaffected by the mist."
Cui Ming replied, "She has Eagle Eye; she can even detect those in a state of obliteration."
Cui Ming suddenly crouched down and wrapped his arms around Beiyue's legs to throw himself away. Beiyue stood firm like a rock and didn’t budge. A Silver Arrow whizzed past Beiyue's shoulder as Wei Wei's voice rang out, "That was close! Cui Ming, you're quite cunning!"
"Hey, you're even more cunning! Didn't you say your arrows have correction effects?" Beiyue retorted playfully.
Wei Wei smiled and replied, "I can choose not to activate them. Hey, Cui Ming. At least be a man and stop lying at a woman's feet."
Cui Ming responded, "I'm happy to do so; being able to embrace a beautiful woman is my fortune."
"Indeed. It’s tough to deal with someone like that; these days, the hardest to handle are those without shame."
Does provoking me work? Cui Ming said, "Sister, we need to set a time limit. If you want to drag this out for three days, we'll starve ourselves just to show you."
Wei Wei thought for a moment, "Two hours. If I don't kill you, I'll withdraw from Labyrinth Mountain."
"Alright." Cui Ming magically produced a shovel and began digging on the spot.
Wei Wei watched closely and burst into laughter, "Cui Ming, you're so shameless."
"In survival, there's no such thing as shame," Cui Ming replied, digging quickly. Wei Wei dared not shoot arrows easily as Beiyue was moving erratically. Then Cui Ming lay down in the pit and said, "Beiyue, lie down. I want to see how she breaks through."
Beiyue whispered, "Maybe not."
"Um... fine." Cui Ming and Wei Wei got into a tussle, forgetting the details.
In the forest, Wei Wei saw Cui Ming pull out a card and draw his bow, teasing as he waited, "I thought you two were a couple; why are you still shy?"
Cui Ming laughed, "We're friends; we can't be a couple."
"What a pity." Wei Wei noticed the card in Cui Ming's hand disappear and jumped up to shoot an arrow.
Unexpectedly, Cui Ming had already dug the pit; his Fate Card didn't need to be shown—it was within him. With both arms around Beiyue's waist, Beiyue had learned this time to relax and let Cui Ming hold her as she fell back. A Force arrow grazed Beiyue's face and landed on the ground, dispersing.
Wei Wei was startled, "Cui Ming, you're indeed more cunning than I thought, waiting here for me."
Cui Ming sighed as well, "Sister, just let me be; is it necessary to go all out?" Wei Wei's arrow wasn't aimed at him; she suspected a trick. As a result, it shot off to the side. Even so, when Cui Ming fell with Beiyue, he nearly caught the arrow.
Beiyue lay back beside Cui Ming and whispered in his ear, "If this continues, I won't be able to break through my bottleneck."
After all, being inexperienced, Cui Ming didn't grasp the deeper meaning of her words. Beiyue was struggling psychologically but didn't rely on her own strength to break free from their close proximity. The inexperienced Cui Ming said a few words in Beiyue's ear and actively pulled her up when she seemed to be gasping for breath. "Wei Wei, this isn't good; we're being made into a couple without any reason." After saying that, he pulled out a Poker card behind Beiyue and conjured a pen to write quickly before sending it flying behind him. Reinforcements were coming.
Wei Wei did not notice and asked, "What do you think?"
"I'll start with a story about a little girl. This little girl is quite remarkable; she is now an Alliance Hunter."
Wei Wei furrowed her brow. Did Li Qing share their private conversation with others?
"Speaking of which, there was a little girl..." Cui Ming suddenly interjected, "Sister, behind you... ten o'clock, thirty-four meters."
Wei Wei quickly turned to look and saw Beiyue in a yellow outfit rushing towards her. Without hesitation, Wei Wei rolled into stealth and swiftly moved toward Cui Ming, who was hiding behind a tree. Cui Ming, do you think Beiyue is faster than me?
Circling around forty meters, Zhang Gong realized that the person behind the tree was indeed Beiyue. That meant Cui Ming... was the one charging at her, wearing Beiyue's clothes, hair disheveled and obscuring her face. Wei Wei immediately turned back; she knew Cui Ming's speed and was confident she could outrun her.
Suddenly, another person appeared beside Wei Wei. Who else could it be but Ding Ze? A bolt of energy struck Wei Wei's back, and before she could react, Ding Ze clapped his hands together, unleashing a barrage of golden energy in a crescent shape that hit Wei Wei's body. Most of her Force dissipated instantly, and she quickly rolled into stealth.
Ding Ze closed his eyes, raising his hands in front of his chest as countless points of yellow energy rapidly dispersed in all directions, revealing Wei Wei's location. Then all the energy exploded; Wei Wei shot a Holy Arrow at Ding Ze's body, sending him flying back several meters and immobilizing him on the spot. A Yellow Card cut through the mist and immobilized Wei Wei as well. Ding Ze's right wrist flickered again as he launched another attack at her.
Wei Wei summoned all her strength and shot an arrow into the air. The arrow flew out with Force trailing behind it like a rope pulling her away from her original position. In the next moment, Beiyue's strike landed on the ground where she had just been.
"Is she dead?" Cui Ming asked as the Fate Card time finally ended.
"No," Beiyue replied somewhat frustratedly; she had been just a fraction too slow. If it weren't for Cui Ming disrupting her focus, she would have arrived sooner. No, it was her own will that faltered; she could have done it if not for the distraction. With determination, Severe Blade flowed with Force, shining brightly.
Cui Ming comforted her, "It's okay; she's heavily injured and won't be showing up anytime soon."
Beiyue felt warmth in her heart as the glow of Severe Blade faded away. Frustrated, she tugged at her hair... angry at herself for almost breaking through her bottleneck.
"Oh dear," Cui Ming's voice came through. "Five-Star Card? What's going on? How did Wei Wei die?" A card appeared before Cui Ming; it was Wei Wei's Five-Star Card along with background information.
Back at President's side, Wei Wei jumped up from her chair and pointed angrily at the arena, shouting, "You filthy scum! I never want to see you again, you bastard!" Both President and Wandering were pale with fear; they had never seen Wei Wei so enraged before.
What had happened?
Wei Wei flew away with a whoosh and landed nearby, only to see a man in a denim outfit urinating next to him, with a katana stuck in the ground. That was understandable; after all, nature calls. But what was he singing about? "Let me fly higher..." He aimed his stream at a tree, creating a hole, adding force to it. Generally, one wouldn't practice that area; this guy must have put in some serious effort... how shameless.
Suddenly, a woman appeared out of nowhere, startling the man, who quickly retracted his stream. Turning around, he realized this was Cui Ming's Five-Star Card that was supposed to be eliminated in the Assessment Match. Earlier, a companion had mentioned in town that a woman with a certain appearance had suddenly appeared and was chatting with someone who couldn't be named. It was said that this woman was the Five-Star Card for that unnamed person's mission and had nothing to do with them.
It seemed she had been seriously injured. The man picked up the katana with his left hand and approached Wei Wei, who was struggling to stand. He sneered, "Look at me, urinator; though far away, I will hunt you down." Suddenly charging forward, he drew his sword and passed by Wei Wei without looking back. He spun the blade once before sheathing it and said, "I am Feng, as swift as the wind." With that, he planted the katana into the ground, pulled down his pants, and continued urinating... aiming and firing. What? This is called filthy? Everyone has their own way of relieving stress!
...
How did this all begin? It started when Cui Ming's Fate Card detected Ding Ze's approach. Under Beiyue's graceful cover, she used flying cards to guide Ding Ze nearby and quickly drafted a plan, explaining it to Beiyue beside her. Then Cui Ming disguised herself as Beiyue, changed into yellow clothing, donned a wig, and headed toward Wei Wei. When Wei Wei dodged and circled around while communicating her location via radio, Ding Ze—hidden in the bushes—suddenly activated his teleportation ability and closed in on Wei Wei to deliver a series of blows that severely injured her.
What does this mean? According to game rules, if another group eliminates your card, your card will respawn. However, President, Wandering, and even Dina believed that North Moon Group executed an excellent counterattack just now. Subjectively deciding to hand over Wei Wei’s Five-Star Card to North Moon Group.
What secrets does Labyrinth Mountain hold? Cui Ming and her companions took off their jackets and tore them into strips for binding. They formed a triangle with the strips and began searching until they soon discovered the secret. It was a magic circle with six stone points—also known as Stonehenge (Engineer points +1?). Once someone stepped into the central area, Stonehenge would activate, drawing all nearby mist toward it.
Li Qing had heard about this Stonehenge from his time in the Magic System during his youth. When everyone asked how to break the formation, Li Qing replied, "Smash all six stones."
Cui Ming was skeptical: "Senior Brother, are you sure you can do it?"
Li Qing genuinely didn't understand and asked back, "Do you have a better method?"
Then let's smash it! Regardless of anything else, this method proved effective. As Stonehenge collapsed, the mist within began to disperse throughout Labyrinth Mountain. At the same time, they discovered a cave in the southeast. This was a trap; according to background lore, a magician's lover had been captured by a witch and made into a servant. Everyone thought the witch would reside in a forest cabin or mountain villa but never expected her to live in a stalactite cave. (To be continued.)
