Alan and Mike sat on the top of their mountain, looking at the distant high wall. "It's a good idea, but we can't see what's going on inside," Alan said with a tinge of disappointment while holding a new telescope.
"I see Brother chatting with everyone," Mike said, holding a reassembled telescope. "Tomorrow will be the random individual instance. I hope I can be randomly sent back there after it's over."
"I also want to leave this place," Alan said and suddenly clapped his hands in excitement. "I thought of a way to get there!"
"What's the way?"
"Let the giant eagles take us!" Alan excitedly pointed to two large eagles squatting nearby.
"Good idea! But, how is your mental recovery now? I don't want to fall while flying," Mike said with slight concern.
"Don't worry, I feel great now."
"You said the same thing yesterday, and what happened?"
"Don't worry. I learned from yesterday's failure."
"Oh, heavens! Please bless us not to be killed by falling today."
"..."
Alan looked at Mike, "Trust is the most important thing between brothers."
"Trust should be built based on strength."
"Damn it!"
…
Ming noticed during his conversation with the people around him that everyone was not as relaxed as they seemed. Everyone in the entire region was betting on today. If they won, life would be better in the future. If they lost, it would be a complete disaster.
At this moment, he saw David and Hecate walking towards him.
"David stopped shedding dirt after he got together with Hecate," Hawkins said while biting a sour pear.
Ming was surprised, could this happen?
"Hi," David greeted Ming.
"Hi~" Ming observed David and indeed, he was no longer shedding dirt. It turned out that love could change a person!
Moreover, he also noticed that David's skin had become much smoother, looking a bit like glass. The two of them were daring, one daring to burn, the other daring to be burned.
"I have a few sisters who want to get to know you," Hecate said, leaning her head on David's shoulder while looking at Ming.
Ming smiled and said, "Sure, are there any ice elementalists?"
Hecate pondered, touching her chin, and regretfully said, "It seems that there are no female ice elementalists in our district, but there are a few male ones."
"Alright, introduce them to me as well. I can accept that."
"..."
The people around were taken aback. An ice elementalist who had just wanted to come forward and greet Ming immediately retreated a few steps after hearing their conversation.
Gutmann, it turns out you like men!!!
"Wow! Look at the sky!"
"Giant eagles! So cool!"
"I know them, I've seen them from a distance on the regional map. These two giant eagles are just a part of their puppet army. They also have three giant crabs and four centipedes! And that's not even the most powerful part, the most powerful are their two female zombie puppets!"
"Really? Are they very powerful?"
"Let me put it this way, when they fight, they never use those two zombie puppets. It's obvious that such scale of battle doesn't require them!"
"So strong! But why haven't we seen them during the shared boss?"
"Because they were separated by the Great Rift and couldn't come over! I just found out about it these two days."
"…"
Everyone looked up in amazement, and Ming also glanced up. It was the little pervert Alan and the fool Mike. This made him a little surprised, Alan's puppet control skills were poor, and Mike was really daring to accompany him.
Then, the two giant eagles swooped down with their wings, and the two people holding onto the eagle's claws landed, standing steadily beside the good wall.
The surrounding people greeted them, and the two responded with a smile. They rushed to the man in the crocodile skin coat first, laughing, "brother, we've missed you so much these days."
"I didn't miss you guys that much~" Ming laughed and high-fived the two.
"pears yesterday were too sour."
"Actually, I did it on purpose."
"We know."
"…"
The surrounding crowd cast envious and knowing glances. No wonder those two guys were so powerful because they had a great big brother. It's true that the stronger the person, the more likely they are to be with even stronger people.
So envious.
David, who was standing to the side, was envious, but he quickly adjusted himself. Although he didn't gain as strong a brotherhood as they had, he had found love.
"Let me introduce a friend to you." Ming turned around and pulled David over. David suddenly felt happy again, he had brotherhood now too, and he was truly a winner in life.
Ming pointed at David and said to the two, "All our sand was prepared for him."
"…"
What he thought was brotherhood turned out to be them being lambs to the slaughter.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Alan. How are we going to trade later?"
"I'm Mike. You look like you're about to get married. Do you need a master of ceremonies? I'm versatile!"
"Hello, I'm David. It's our first meeting, talking about money would hurt our feelings."
"We... don't seem to have any feelings for you."
"Yeah, you're thinking a bit too much."
"…"
In front of so many people, you guys really don't give me any face at all.
As everyone chatted and laughed, time passed quickly, and as it approached 9 o'clock, everyone returned to their respective sections. Over a thousand people were divided among the four high walls, with more than 250 people in each section.
"Prepare the arrow towers!" David stood on a high platform, shouting through an ancient, iron-made megaphone.
Whoosh~ The people standing under the arrow towers took out their spirit stones and placed them on top of the towers. In an instant, dozens of arrow towers started operating simultaneously, their gentle blue glow forming a connected array. The blue light they cast brought peace of mind to everyone.
When they all looked at the man in the crocodile skin coat... they felt even more at ease.
08:59 AM.
Over a thousand people, fully buffed, looked up at the sky simultaneously. Today was the day to prove the success or failure of their daring gamble. It was also a day to test if the ultimate strategy could withstand the trial. The majority of the resources in the area had been bet on the good fortress below their feet.
09:00 AM.
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Dozens of white light beams fell from the sky, and everyone's heart tightened! They dared not make a sound!
Whoosh!
The light beams hit the ground! Some landed near the good wall, but the vast majority fell within the good wall!
At this moment, the people of District 109 knew that they had made the right bet. Then, from the white light near the good wall, a giant mantis over 1.7 meters tall and nearly 3 meters long with its head emerged. In the next instant, it charged into the crowd with its scythes.
"Blue eyes, it's a five-star lord!"
"Concentrate on killing the mutated creatures in the passage nearby!"
"Everyone, don't worry about it!"
"Mutated creatures aren't that scary, hold steady!"
"Barrier raise your shields in front! Elementalists, attack from a distance and quickly kill the mutated beasts in the passage!"
"The mantis can fly! The ones inside the well are flying upwards!"
"…"
The crowd experienced only a brief moment of panic, as the leaders of each section called out and organized their members to begin the assault.
