Chapter 1004

For the next few days, both Melissa and Neptune were busy clearing out the 3-star Asura powerhouses in the illusion.

Both of them had the combat effectiveness of a Holy Disciple. Coupled with their many combat skills, they easily took care of the 3-star Asura powerhouses that broke in.

Most of the 3-star Asura were slaughtered. Only a few chose to give up and leave the purple zone.

More than ten days passed in a flash. The other members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew passed through the illusion one after another and arrived at the rendezvous point where Gu Ding and the others were.

As Neptune and Melissa cleaned up, Gu Ding and the others noticed that the number of people breaking into the purple zone was decreasing. Not only were there fewer 3-star Asura, but the number of other pursuers was also decreasing.

"What's going on? There are fewer and fewer people. Have the remaining people given up? "Gu Ding was puzzled.

"I don't think so. There are only a hundred thousand spots. As long as they attack you, they can get a spot. The temptation is huge. Ordinary people would give up when they encounter setbacks. However, don't forget that every Asura powerhouse is a super monster. They have overcome countless difficulties along the way. It's not easy to give up their ideas. "Melissa understood the mentality of the powerhouses who participated in the selection.

"Melissa is right. Based on their personalities, it's impossible for them to give up this opportunity. The number of people breaking in has decreased these days. I suspect that the few people we let go leaked the news. "Neptune speculated.

"We can't rule out the possibility that they're gathering people outside the purple zone and preparing to attack in one fell swoop!" Mi Coco gave a further speculation.

"Erza, you were the last to arrive. Did you see anything unusual outside the purple zone?" Neptune asked Erza after listening to Mi Coco.

"I didn't see anything unusual." Erza shook her head blankly.

"What about the others?" Neptune looked at Robert and the others.

Robert and the others shook their heads.

"The borders around the purple zone are extremely wide. The chances of encountering them are not high. They should have other ways to contact their accomplices." Melissa explained.

"Three-star Asura rank powerhouses have a lot of authority in the higher realms they come from. Those guys that we let go might really be able to gather a force, "Mi Ke Ke voiced out her worries.

"What should we do now?" Lilliath could not help but ask.

"Now, we need to figure out what's going on outside so that we don't get caught off guard." Although Gu Ding said that, he could not think of a specific way to deal with it.

"Let me investigate the situation outside!" Robert said. "However, I might need two or three days, or even longer."

"By the way, Robert's nanomachines have already covered the entire purple zone. As long as they spread out a little, they'll be able to detect what's happening outside the purple zone." Neptune also remembered this matter.

"Considering the speed of the nanomachines, I estimate that it will take at least two to three days to complete the coverage. Furthermore, it also depends on how far away they are from the purple zone. The further they are, the longer it will take for the nanomachines to complete the coverage. "Robert nodded.

"Then leave it to Robert!" After Gu Ding said that, he looked at Neptune again. "Based on the current situation, what's our worst-case scenario?"

"The worst-case scenario is that the illusion is broken, and the rest of them will attack us together." Neptune shrugged.

"That's right. The worst-case scenario is that someone among them knows how to break the illusion array we set up." Melissa also nodded.

"There are more than three thousand advanced dimensions. It's not surprising that there are powerhouses who can break the illusion array." However, Mi Ke Ke frowned slightly. "If those Three Star Asura Rank experts who were released leak the news of this illusory realm, then join forces with experts who can break the illusory array and gather an army to enter, it will indeed be very troublesome."

"There are more than five million people in the battlefield now. Even if hundreds of thousands of people attack us at the same time, we won't be able to withstand it, let alone five million, "Neptune continued.

"Therefore, for us, the illusion is the biggest protective barrier. If we lose this protective barrier, we'll really be in big trouble." Mi Coco nodded.

"So, the solution to this problem now is to keep the illusion running!" Gu Ding quickly thought of the key to the problem. "But if there really is someone who can break the array, how can we keep the illusion running?"

"It's simple. Kill the person who breaks the array." Huck, who rarely spoke in group discussions, suddenly spoke up.

"Indeed, this is the most effective method." Robert also agreed.

"Huck's method is not bad. I'm afraid it's the best shortcut to solve this problem." Neptune also agreed.

"I understand. Then, let's do it!" Gu Ding was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.

Three days later, Robert opened her eyes. Neptune and the others immediately looked at her.

"No, there's still no trace of those people." Robert shook her head.

"Continue to expand the range of the nanomachines!" Neptune had expected this.

Another three days passed, and Robert finally opened her eyes again. This time, her eyes shone with a terrifying light.

"How is it? Did you find them this time?! "Neptune quickly asked.

"See for yourselves!" Robert said as she projected the video.

In the video projection, there was a dense crowd of people. Just by looking at it, one could tell that there were more than ten thousand people gathered.

The people leading them were the four 3-star Asura powerhouses that Neptune and Melissa had released earlier.

One of them was telling the crowd about his encounter in the illusion. Of course, he had beautified his encounter a lot.

Even when he was released by Melissa, he said that he was surrounded by several members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew and that he had escaped because he was no match for them.

In his story, the Gu Ding Pirate Crew was a heinous existence, and he was the messenger of justice who crusaded against evil. The funny thing was, looking at the expressions of the people listening to the story, many of them actually believed his story.

"Very good. Back then, it was out of trust that they didn't make the Heavenly Oath. Now, these guys are biting back. It seems like we really need to teach them a lesson this time! "Neptune was very angry when he saw the scene.

"From the video, they've already gathered more than twenty thousand people. If this continues, there will only be more." Melissa also frowned.

"Let's not act rashly for now. Let's keep an eye on their every move!" Gu Ding planned to stay put and see what tricks these people could come up with.
