Twenty minutes later, the three of them arrived at a relatively flat place. On the way, they even dealt with three more teams.
However, this number was given by Wang Xiao. Li Kaifu deeply doubted this because he had only seen one of the three teams. He had not even seen a shadow of the other two teams.
After finding a place to take shelter from the wind and rest, Wang Xiao looked around and asked, “This should be the center of the entire secret realm, right?”
“If you want to find the center, you have to walk forward… probably in that place.”
Li Kaifu pointed at a small hill not far away. “I’ve trained here before, so I’m more familiar with the environment. However, why are you looking for the center?”
“I want to make it more convenient for the other teams.”
Wang Xiao rubbed his hands and replied, “Including ourselves, there are at most five teams left. However, there are no energy fluctuations from the battle nearby, so there are only three possibilities.”
Li Kaifu perked up. “What are they?”
Wang Xiao wrote a “1” on the snow. “The first is that they eliminated each other. Now, only we are left.”
“That’s impossible.”
Zhou Xiruo reached out and crossed out the “1”. “We’re still here, which means that there are at least two more teams on the field.”
“Smart!”
Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Xiruo approvingly and wrote “2”. “The other four teams have already cooperated..
“That’s not very likely, right?”
Zhou Xiruo interrupted in confusion, “Every secret realm can only determine one victor. Who will choose to cooperate with others?”
“If they feel that they’re not my match, they might choose to cooperate. As for the final victor… they can only decide that internally after they are done dealing with outside factors!”
Wang Xiao casually explained. He looked at Li Kaifu and continued, “If they cooperate, we can directly declare war. The center is the most suitable location. No matter where you come from, it’s the closest.”
“Declaration of war?”
Li Kaifu was shocked by Wang Xiao’s idea. “You should talk about the third possibility first. There are at least ten people in four teams if we count their helpers. It’s too dangerous to directly declare war.”
Wang Xiao nodded obediently. “The third possibility is that they are scattered everywhere and can’t find each other. Therefore, we have to declare war at the center. This way, they can rush over faster…’
“Wait a minute!”
Li Kaifu hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted Wang Xiao. “Didn’t you just mention this method before? Why does it sound familiar?”
“Yes, I did.”
Wang Xiao nodded and added after a pause, “But the reason for declaring war is different. ‘
Li Kaifu’s expression became strange. ‘We have to declare war no matter what, right?”
Wang Xiao nodded honestly. Zhou Xiruo immediately burst out laughing. No matter how many strange things Wang Xiao said and did outside, he was indeed still the Wang Xiao she knew.
“… Then how do you plan to declare war?”
After a moment of silence, Li Kaifu asked helplessly. This time, he did not dissuade Wang Xiao because he knew that it was useless.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao shook his head this time. “I haven’t thought about it yet, but I have to express the meaning of declaring war.”
Somewhere in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm.
Yu Bo sat on a chair made of ice. Thirty red-robed mages lined up on his left and right.
On the other side, the ten people were divided into three groups and stood in a “triangle” formation. They looked like companions, but also like they were on guard against each other.
Suddenly, two red shadows tore through the air from afar. When they landed, it could be seen that they were two red-robed Wizards. One of them whispered a few words in Yu Bo’s ear. Then, the two of them separated and joined their teams.
“Bad news. The other five teams have been dealt with.”
Yu Bo straightened his body and looked at the three teams in front of him. “What’s your decision? Do you want to cooperate with me?”
No one spoke.
After nearly a minute of silence, a handsome boy probed, “If we cooperate with you, who will we give the final advancement spot to?”
“What did you say?”
Yu Bo sneered and looked at that person. “You want to obtain the advancement spot after being assigned to the same secret realm as me?”
That person was rebuffed and his expression immediately turned ugly.
At this moment, another chubby boy stood up and tried to smooth things over with a smile. “Yu Bo, we’re all classmates. Your words don’t sound good. We know we can’t beat you, but we can’t work together for nothing, right?”
Yu Bo frowned slightly. “What are you trying to say?”
The chubby boy had a smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with a sly light. “You’re the number one genius of our Nine Heavens Academy. You suddenly suggested working with us. You probably don’t have the confidence to defeat Wang Xiao, right?”
Yu Bol s expression darkened, but he immediately returned to normal. He raised his head and looked at the few of them arrogantly. “I’m not confident in defeating him? What a joke! I’m just being merciful and giving you a chance to serve me!”
“So you’re confident?”
The chubby boy said with an exaggerated expression, “Oh.” Then, he cupped his hands at Yu Bo. “Then please forgive us for being shameless. Let’s go!” The chubby boy said the last three words to the other two teams.
Before he could finish speaking, the chubby boy turned around and left. Suddenly, he saw a blue light flash from the corner of his eye. Before he could react, the entire team was sent flying into the air by a hurricane!
After the wind blew, the chubby boy’s team flew high and landed heavily. When the other two teams saw this situation, they hurriedly put their raised feet back.
Yu Bo put down his flickering blue wand and looked coldly at the remaining two groups of people. “Cooperate or be eliminated now. Choose yourself.”
The captains of the two teams looked at each other. Then, the delicate looking one said, “Even if we can’t defeat you, we won’t be your cannon fodder for nothing! You have to give us some benefits, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another captain immediately said, “That’s right! If you don’t give anything to us, you can just eliminate us! In any case, we’re going to be eliminated!”
“Looks like you’re smarter than I thought..
Yu Bo narrowed his eyes and sized up the two of them. “100,000 star coins each.’
“200,000!”
The handsome boy immediately raised the price. When he realized that Yu Bo’s expression was not good, he hurriedly pointed at the two helpers behind him. “I hired them for 100,000 yuan each. You can’t make me lose money, right?”
“Then I want 200,000 too!”
Another boy immediately raised the price. “My helper isn’t hired, but I’m stronger than him. I receive less than him!”
..Alright, 200,000 yuan per person!”
Yu Bo thought for a moment and nodded. He directly opened the interface and transferred the money to the two of them.
400,000 star coins was not a small number, but if it could help him defeat Wang Xiao, this money would be worth it!
BANG!
Suddenly, there was an explosion.
Everyone subconsciously looked up. In the distant sky, a firework exploded.
Countless bright sparks formed a fist and the finger in the middle stood proudly in the sky…
