Chapter 128 New Speculations
"Hey, I don't think there's any need to adjust your status."
Tartaglia flexed his wrist, walked to Gu Sanqiu's side and whispered.
"If they need to adjust their mentality before every battle, does that mean their mentality is like that of a child that never changes?"
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the guy.
"Correct your attitude, soldier. In addition to you and the Knights of Favonius, there are also some adventurers and other professional God's Eye personnel here. You can't expect them to quickly enter a combat state. This is unrealistic."
"Hey, what about you?"
"I?"
Gu Sanqiu recalled the scene where Brother Tuozi lowered his head and rushed towards him with evil thoughts.
Well, after being baptized by that kind of scene once, my state of mind has been greatly improved. It is impossible for a secret realm to directly encounter monsters as soon as you enter it, so there is no need to worry at all.
Everyone followed Albedo into the secret realm, and they all picked up their weapons at the same time. Gu Sanqiu glanced at the red one-handed sword in Bennett's hand. It was said that this was a magical weapon that could hide some emergency items in the sword body.
Considering Bennett's bad luck, perhaps the original sharpness of the sword was not important, but this additional gadget was more suitable for the opponent.
However, this secret realm is indeed very interesting.
Albedo opened his shield in front of him, and there were two Yanghua instruments in front of him flashing light, probably calculating some data in the secret realm.
Gu Sanqiu clenched his fists, felt the flow of elemental power in his body, and then frowned.
If I remember correctly...
"Everyone."
Albedo said, "Be careful. Most of the water elements in the secret realm seem to have dissipated. Or maybe they were blown away to some unknown corner by the wind element."
"Originally, the use of elemental power in this secret realm would be laborious, but now the data that this is not the case."
"Although it is a good thing for us that the elemental forces can function normally, I also want to remind you of one thing."
"Since this inexplicable wind element can move the deposited water elements, it means that the new force occupying this area is likely to be stronger. The elemental phenomenon we will face at that time may be unknown, and we don’t know whether it is good or bad."
Elemental phenomena can be as small as if you had punctured the belly of a wind slime in the wild, and then a ball of wind would burst out that would blow you away. Or on a larger scale, it could be like a huge wind field like the Wind Dragon Ruins.
"Well, is this the interesting information at the beginning?"
Kaiya smiled and said, "We originally made some preparations for the accumulation of water elements, but now it seems that they are no longer useful."
"Well, I have a question."
Gu Sanqiu asked: "Can you measure the strength of the wind element on the road ahead?"
"It's difficult. Considering the safety of personnel before this, we didn't have anyone conduct an in-depth investigation. It's not ideal to rely on the existing data to infer the unknown."
Qin turned her head and looked at Gu Sanqiu: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"
"I was thinking, since the wind elemental aura inexplicably appeared from the earth veins, then this thing may have been tainted with the characteristics of the earth veins to some extent."
"If the wind ahead is strong enough, will the route of the ruins that you originally detected in Mond be blown away and changed its direction?"
"If it is the combination of the power of wind element and earth veins, it is hard to guarantee that the secret area that has been dormant underground for many years will not be affected by the power of earth veins."
???
Everyone's mind was full of question marks, and they were truly shocked by Gu Sanqiu's inexplicable imagination.
However, some secret realms require the use of mechanisms to reach the next destination, and some even require adventurers to engage in extreme sports. No one knows what the specific structure of the secret realm buried underground looks like.
If this speculation is true...
"Hey, don't be scary."
Kaiya was stunned for a moment: "Since this problem can be raised, is there any solution?"
"You should have prepared more than one route map. The weaker ones should form small teams, or follow your usual combat methods. Each group should prepare a route map."
"We will split up and redraw the route we recorded on the back of the route map according to the previous records. Then we will set a time and return to our current location in one hour. Everyone will compare the information they have collected."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Bennett and Ke Li without leaving a trace.
"Of course, if there are any strange mechanisms in the area you go to, remember not to touch them, because it is likely to cause unnecessary impact on our detection. This needs to be paid attention to."
One of them is an innocent child, and the other is just unlucky. This must be pointed out first so that the guys in their group can pay attention to it.
"From the strength of the monsters you detected, their enhancements are only at the level of wind elements. Even if they act in groups, as long as you are careful not to attract too many monsters at once, there will generally be no danger."
"So, if we want to find out more information at this stage, the most reliable method is to split up and draw a new map."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Diluk said: "Since we don't know the route ahead, the danger of splitting up may increase, but it will also allow us to receive information as quickly as possible and even avoid the risk of being wiped out."
"Hey, is it really okay to say that we might be wiped out right now?"
Kaiya looked at his sworn brother with a hollow look in his eyes: "Why don't we select a few more people to hold this position as our base camp, and let them record the direction in which we move separately?"
"Well, that's a good idea. It's rare that you give a suggestion that isn't too weird."
…
(╬￣皿￣)
Come, let me show you, this is his sworn brother.
Qin watched helplessly as the two brothers of ice and fire started to quarrel, and spoke out to stop them.
"Ahem, Mr. Gu's suggestion is quite constructive. So shall we follow it now?"
"That's fine with me."
YaYa put her hands behind her head and said, "You decide. We are just here to work and we will absolutely obey the organization's arrangements."
After everyone had confirmed, Qin began to assign teams and tasks.
Among them, Albedo, Gu Sanqiu, and Tartaglia acted alone. Considering their mobility and combat capabilities, the detection range they opened up by acting alone was definitely large and could serve as the main reference .
As for Klee... Gu Sanqiu didn't want to be buried alive, so he absolutely could not give this Mond ace the chance to use high-powered explosives.
A wise acting head of the group had apparently also thought of this.
Jean, Kaeya, Amber and Eula each led a team, while Sucrose, Barbara, and a big sister in purple clothes who kept looking at Gu Sanqiu with a smile, and others stayed at the base camp with Diluk.
Originally, Brother Like was going to be kept in the base camp, but he strongly refuted the idea by citing his own bad luck, and thus he got the opportunity to join Kaia's team.
However, when Jean assigned Bennett to be her "most trusted right-hand man", Kaia's skin color seemed to become darker.
"Mr. Diluc, the people who stay here have little combat experience, so I'll leave it to you when the time comes."
"Go ahead and don't worry."
Diluk folded his hands and was somewhat indifferent to Qin.
However, considering the old arrogant man's mentality, nothing will happen to the base camp unless he falls.
"Me, I want to go too!"
Barbara mustered up her courage and looked at Qin: "Captain, I am the owner of the Water-attributed Eye of God. I can heal your injuries!"
Gu Sanqiu suddenly spoke up: "When the detectors notice something is wrong, they need to retreat to the base camp immediately. As a healer, you will gain more by staying in the base camp."
