Reincarnation Paradise: Master is lucky but 100 million.

Chapter 359 Blocking the Bridge

Hearing Chi Yao's question, Brother Wusan couldn't help but exclaimed, and at the same time, under Chi Yao's gaze, he swallowed the second half of the sentence. He realized something.

"Phantom Troupe?! You mean the one full of lunatics. Uh."

The smile on Xiao Mihu's face disappeared for a moment, and the next moment she raised her hand and quickly covered her mouth, as if she suddenly reacted, her face full of surprise.

"Brother Huiyao, are you a member of the Phantom Troupe?"

Xiao Mihu's words were exactly the same as Brother Wusan's inner guess. Brother Wusan also looked at Chi Yao with a surprised expression, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"No wonder! It turns out that you, Huiyao, are a member of the Phantom Troupe. No wonder you are so strong!"

Chi Yao clearly saw the change in Xiao Mihu's expression and nodded.

"Yes, I am a member of the Phantom Troupe. Before entering the survival trial, I reached a deal with a high-ranking member of the troupe and obtained some information about this survival trial."

Xiao Mihu blinked his eyes and showed an admiring look with an innocent expression.

"No wonder Brother Huiyao is so confident! He's amazing! Can you tell us a little bit about the survival trial?"

Facing Xiao Mihu's cute attack, Chi Yao was completely unmoved. He took out the amber containing the three native seeds from his empty ring and showed it to Brother Wu San and Xiao Mihu.

"I was going to make it clear that my next mission is to go to the Black Forest to open the ruins and delay the cold disaster. It is a high-risk area, and the native seeds in this piece of amber are necessary to enter the Black Forest."

"If you don't want to take risks, then we will separate. But I suggest you stay in the red soil area for the remaining few days, because after the cold disaster begins, the red soil area will be safer than ordinary areas."

"Stay in the red soil area." Chi Yao's words made Wusanxiong and Xiao Mihu fall into thought. They had been in the red soil area for less than a day, but they had already witnessed the dangers of this land, the red-skinned natives with unknown strength, the dangerous creatures everywhere, and the severely polluted environment which meant the scarcity of resources.

Today is only the second day of the survival trial, and the two have no confidence that they can survive in the red soil area for the remaining eight days.

In the silence, it was Xiao Mihu who spoke first.

"Since the arrival of the cold disaster will make our survival situation even more dangerous, it would be a better choice for us to work together to complete the hidden mission! And Brother Huiyao is so strong, I believe we will succeed!"

Brother Wusan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Chi Yao.

"That's true. Besides, it would be difficult for the two of us to survive in the red soil area. It's a good choice to follow you."

Chi Yao stared at the two of them and spoke slowly.

"After all, I am the only one who accepted the hidden mission, and you will not receive any mission rewards. Since you have decided to go with me, I will consider it as my employment. After the mission is completed, the four soul crystals (middle) will be your reward."

“No problem!” Brother Wu San and Xiao Mi Hu looked at each other and agreed immediately. They didn’t expect Chi Yao to be so generous and give four Soul Crystals (middle) at once. You know, ordinary contractors may not be able to get one Soul Crystal (middle) for one world progress!

Brother Wusan asked as he observed the endless red soil plains around him.

"So where are we going next? The Yang Girl said she would give you the crystal skull in two days, right? We're going to stay around here for two days?"

Chi Yao shook his head and pointed in the direction they had come from.

"Let's go to the stone bridge first. The Yang Girl's true form is the blood vine that grows under the red soil area. As long as she is in the red soil area, she can find us."

"The distance from here to the Stone Bridge is not short. On the way back, we can rest for a night near the mountain forest we passed last night. We will reach the Stone Bridge around noon tomorrow."

Brother Wu San and Xiao Mi Hu had no objection to Chi Yao's arrangement. After a simple preparation, the three of them set off immediately.

Thanks to Chi Yao's luck, the three of them encountered almost no attacks from wild beasts along the way. They arrived safely near the mountain forest and found a safe place to camp for the night.

Time was running out, so Chi Yao quickly solved the dinner problem, asked Ya Ya to guard him, and then immediately went into meditation. He needed to recover his mana as soon as possible.

Chi Yao's current mana limit is 1840 points, which can be said to be ridiculously high. It is difficult for ordinary second-level contractors to reach it. It is definitely enough for ordinary mage contractors. After all, those mage contractors can basically only cast skills, and they can't learn any high-mana consumption spell skills at low levels.

Even for Su Xiao who possesses the Soul Eater talent, his current mana limit will not exceed 1600 points.

However, for mages who can adjust their spellcasting by themselves, the power of a spell is basically proportional to the mana spent, and if the first-level attributes are insufficient to cast a second-level high-power spell, the mana consumption will be greater.

In order to end the battle as quickly as possible, Chi Yao used a series of combos to quickly "instantly kill" the Overlord's corpse with a three-dimensional attribute of up to 50, spending nearly 900 mana points, and this was after taking into account the consumption after the weapon effect reduced the mana consumption by 25%.

Chi Yao's current basic mana recovery rate is only 28 points per hour, and the recovery rate can be doubled during meditation, but it is only 56 points per hour. Now Chi Yao's mana value is only about 900 points. He needs to hurry up and use meditation to recover his mana as soon as possible.

The next day, after a night's rest, the three of them had a simple breakfast and continued on their journey. After walking for five hours, they could already see traces of the cliff in the distance.

Looking at the stone bridge that had shrunk into a gray line in the distance, Chi Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. A light golden light flashed in his pupils, allowing him to see clearly everything that was happening on the bridge.

There were several conspicuous bloodstains on the blue-gray stone bridge, and there were also potholes left by battle on the platforms on both sides of the stone bridge. All this indicated that more than one battle had taken place near the stone bridge.

Chi Yao waved his hand and cast a spell, applying optical invisibility and silencing to the three people, and whispered.

"There are traces of fighting near the stone bridge. There should be a contractor lying in ambush on the other side of the bridge. I have used the invisibility spell. Let's slowly approach."

Brother Wusan and Xiaomihu adjusted their breathing and nodded together.

The three of them gradually approached the stone bridge, 2000 meters, 1500 meters, 1000 meters, 500 meters.

As they got closer, the three also saw a dozen or so contractors who were hiding behind several huge rocks to rest. Because they failed to notice the invisible Chi Yao and the other two, they looked relaxed and seemed to be eating and chatting.

Chi Yao quickly scanned the scene, saw the blood-stained packages piled up next to the boulder, and made a judgment.

"These contractors are blocking the bridge, killing people and seizing supplies. Judging from the packages, they have killed several waves of people. The chances of a peace negotiation are very low."

Brother Wusan put on his boxing gloves, lowered his voice, and was a little hesitant.

"There are thirteen people on the other side. Should we just force our way in?"

Xiao Mihu looked at Brother Wusan, then tilted his head to look at Chi Yao and made a suggestion.

"Why don't we just sneak over there? Is that feasible?"

Chi Yao shook his head and looked at the group of contractors in the distance, where there were two people holding magic wands.

"The other side still has two mages. The current distance is fine. They can't sense it under my control. If they get closer than 50 meters, they might be able to sense the fluctuations of the spell."

"Besides, the level of my invisibility technique is not high. There is a chance that a sufficiently perceptive contractor can discover us."

"Fifty meters?" Brother Wusan clenched his fists and gave an answer, "If we can get close to fifty meters, I can temporarily hold back the three of them."

"Uh, well! I can give you some buffs!" Xiao Mihu's voice was a little soft, and the hand holding the staff was shaking, as if he was a little scared.

Chi Yao looked at the two men who were ready for battle, and said as he felt his mana recover to almost 1500 points.

"Then get ready and make a quick decision."
