Mu You didn't care about other people's reactions.
While everyone was stunned, he directly crossed the entrance of District 2 and ran deeper into the street.
The group of players who were left behind were dumbfounded because Mu You was followed by an overwhelming swarm of octopuses.
The dense octopuses spread like locusts, leaving only acidic mucus on the ground, and quickly approached the defense line of the Divine Right of Kings.
Many people subconsciously attacked the octopus that rushed towards them.
"Wait, don't kill!" Xiaoxiao shouted hurriedly.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. Faced with this natural disaster scene, it was almost instinctive to take action to protect ourselves.
In an instant, the screams of a large number of octopuses echoed throughout the crowd.
As a result, the octopuses immediately established a solid hatred for the players of Divine Right of Kings and brought them into the attack range.
Ten seconds later, the situation on the scene changed to Mu You running at the front, followed by a lot of players with the divine right of kings behind him, and behind him were octopus chasers all over the sky.
The players of Divine Right of Kings were all depressed and vomiting blood at this time. Originally, they just wanted to ambush, but why were they inexplicably being hunted down? Remember in one second://xbiqu
At this critical moment, the guy's sarcastic voice came from the front: "Tsk, tsk, tell me, why are you messing with it when it's nothing? Now, are you all being targeted?"
"You still have the nerve to say that the Octopus King came after you, right?" The devil couldn't help but cursed.
When they were in the outside world, the information they received was that the Octopus King seemed to have a special hatred for the ghost captain.
Coupled with the current situation, these octopuses must also be the work of the Octopus King. He finally understood: the Octopus King's target has been the guy in front of him from the beginning. They simply went the same way with him, which led to the disaster. !
"Blame me? Who asked you to stand here... Oh, I understand, you are waiting to ambush me, right?"
Mu You spoke as if he was belatedly, and sneered: "Then there is nothing more to say. This is called retribution in this world. You are destined to have this difficulty."
The demon and others behind did not answer Mu You's words, but looked at the emperor: "What should we do now? Run separately?"
The number of octopuses in the group at the rear is too terrifying and the speed is very fast. If they keep running like this, sooner or later they will run out of energy, so splitting up and letting the octopuses spread out should be able to effectively reduce their pressure.
"Good idea, I agree!"
As a result, it was Mu You who answered the call.
Everyone was speechless. Now the two families are obviously still enemies, okay? Why don't you talk to each other so skillfully...
"Don't……"
The emperor shook his head silently.
The devil also quickly understood that spreading out now would indeed solve the problem of the chasing troops behind them, but it would also make their biggest advantage, that is, the numerical advantage, disappear in an instant.
When the time comes that there is no longer the threat of the octopus, they will have to face the threat of the ghost captain. Moreover, they happen to be in area two now. Only the ghost captain has a map. Once they disperse, the opponent can defeat them one by one in this area.
The only way now is to join forces and continue to follow the ghost captain.
Under the pursuit of the octopuses, none of them can stop and fight now. They can only keep running. They can take the opportunity to follow the ghost captain and pass through the only area No. 2 without a map. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The others had more or less figured this out, so no one said anything anymore, and they all chose to follow the ghost captain to escape silently.
"You are so shameless!"
At this time, Mu You, who was responsible for leading the way, stopped: "There is a fee for using my map!"
"But we also help reduce your stress!" said the devil.
"That's right. If our people hadn't helped you hinder the speed of the octopus, how long could you have run on your own?"
"What does it mean to use a map? Now it is clearly a win-win relationship..."
Those who had the divine right to kings spoke out in defense.
"Are you all so confident?"
Mu You looked back at everyone and said with a smile: "But who told you that I am taking the road to Area 3 now?"
Others almost vomited blood when they heard this: "If you don't go to Area 3, where can you go?"
"Haha, I'm not happy that you guys used my map for nothing, so I chose to show it off and take you around this area to waste some time." Mu Youyou said.
"You... plan to hand over the city lord to Jack?" The devil was in disbelief.
"To tell you the truth, I have actually colluded with Jack a long time ago. I will leave you here. After he takes over the city lord, he and I will take turns being the city lord." Mu Youyou.
"..."
The people behind were collectively speechless.
Reason told them that the other party was obviously lying. However, this person's behavior was so weird that they were not sure whether this was the case.
It doesn’t seem strange for this person to actually do such a thing...
"Without your guidance, our numbers can quickly find a way out by relying on the exhaustive method." The emperor spoke at this time, stabilizing the morale of the army.
The biggest reason why so many people are brought in is to deal with the moving maze here. In front of enough people, no matter how complex the maze is, it is not a problem.
"The premise is that you have to spread out. How dare you do this while I'm still in this area?" Mu Youyou said.
"What are you pretending to be? Don't think we don't know, you are not a legend at all!" the devil said unhappily.
"Am I a legend? It's not easy to kill you?" Mu You looked back at him.
The demon was instantly choked and his face turned red, but he could not refute, because he had just been killed by the opponent once before, and it was an instant kill within a few seconds.
"Let's be honest, what are your conditions?" The emperor shook his head. The other party talks so much, but in the final analysis, it is just to raise conditions while taking advantage of the situation. As for messing things up and joining forces with Jack, it is too fake.
"It's okay to lead the way, but if I take you out of the second district, then you have to take me through at least one district. This is only fair." Mu Youyou.
The emperor glanced at him and nodded without much hesitation: "Okay, deal."
"Does he mean what he says?" Mu You looked at the others and asked.
"Count it, count it!" everyone said hurriedly.
"But I didn't say which area I would take you to, hahaha..." someone turned around and explained in the team channel.
Everyone snickered secretly, seeing through it without saying anything. They just made up their mind in their hearts that as soon as they left the second area and the other party had no use value, they would immediately get rid of the other party.
Mu You, on the other hand, seemed to be completely unaware of the word play in the other person's words, and continued to lead the way with peace of mind.
Next, Mu You led the way, and a group of people followed behind quietly, taking turns to attack the octopuses in batches, hindering the speed of the octopuses' pursuit, and the scene became extremely harmonious.
This situation lasted for an hour and a half before everyone finally passed Area 2 and entered the entrance to Area 3.
Seeing the exit in front of them, the people with the divine right of kings breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy didn't do anything wrong and brought them out smoothly.
This actually makes many players who are trying to trick people feel a bit embarrassed. Is this guy actually so honest?
But this is not the time to talk about favors. For the sake of the position of city lord, it is necessary to give up some face and credibility.
Everyone looked at each other secretly, and there were real-life players in the channel to help plan manpower. Soon everyone knew their respective tasks.
Tens of seconds later, the moment everyone stepped into Area 3, everyone acted in unison.
The team of the Divine Right of Kings was instantly divided into five teams, each with more than a hundred people. Two of the teams stayed behind to intercept the octopuses. They turned around and started attacking directly. However, despite the octopuses chasing after their own hands, the octopuses behind Mu You watched. Don't even look.
The remaining three teams, led by Emperor, Demon and Smile respectively, rushed in three different directions.
"Hey, hey, did you agree to take me through an area?" Mu You immediately shouted from behind.
"We said we would take you through a district, but we never said which district!"
"We promise to take you away from District Six..."
"But the premise is that you have to be there when we enter District Six..."
"Hahaha……"
…
There were mocking sounds coming from all around.
Without saying a word, Mu You led a large number of octopuses behind him and silently followed the emperor's team.
With the two groups of people blocking him, the number of octopuses following him was greatly reduced, with only about half remaining, and the pressure to escape was greatly reduced.
When the three teams in front saw Mu You following the emperor, they also did not do anything extra. They continued to act according to the predetermined goals, and soon completely dispersed in the streets.
Mu You pursued the emperor's team firmly all the way.
After chasing for about half an hour, Mu You saw the emperor in the team in front suddenly stopped, left the team, looked back at Mu You... and then chose to self-destruct.
The other people in the team were not surprised by the emperor's self-destruction. Once the emperor died, the group of people did not stop at all. Instead, they rushed forward more cautiously, looking back from time to time, for fear that the ghost captain would get angry and attack.
Mu You stopped at this moment, because it was obvious that this group of people were just acting as bait to lure away his abandoned son. They could not be running on the right path, and there was no point in following them.
"The other party gave up following!"
A few seconds later, the emperor was resurrected in the team where Xiao Xiao was. After waking up, he received this good news from his subordinates as soon as he woke up.
"Great!" Xiaoxiao and others also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the news.
Although they gave up more than half of their manpower in this wave, they at least left behind the ghost captain, a formidable enemy.
Next, the ghost captain without a map can only wander around in Area 3, and by the time he crashes out, the competition for city master in Dawn City will probably be over long ago.
After learning the news, the demon team from the other direction quickly came to join them here.
There are currently about 230 people left in the two teams, which is significantly less than the number at the beginning.
But being able to kill Captain Ghost, a formidable enemy, is definitely worth the price!
"Okay, let's let the ghost captain fight with the octopuses. Let's hurry up!" The devil laughed.
The others had no objections, and the group hurried towards the exit of Area 3.
At this time, on the other side, Mu You looked at the empty streets around him, then looked back at the group of octopuses behind him that were never leaving behind, and shook his head helplessly: "Sure enough, humans are unreliable, I still have to rely on you... …”
In the absence of any contract, he was certainly not so naive that the people of the Emperor would keep their promise and take him out of the next area.
The reason why he was not in a hurry at this time was because he already had other ways to find a way.
Mu You took out the bottle of Octopus King's heart blood from the ring.
As soon as the blood bottle came out, the group of octopus behind seemed to notice something, and immediately became boiling, and rushed towards Muyou one by one.
Mu You quickly dodged and jumped onto a broken wall.
Then, before the octopuses came after him, he opened the mouth of the bottle and poured out a drop of blood.
The bright red blood dripped, but it did not fall to the ground. Instead, it drew an arc in the air and flew out in one direction on the street.
"really!"
Mu You capped the bottle and exhaled.
He had doubts before. After the Octopus King woke up, he chased him so crazily that he even broke his own arm and came to a place like Dawn City to continue the hunt. Is it really just because he took away those dozens of elves? ?
Mu You felt that a creature of Octopus King's level shouldn't be so irrational.
The only explanation is that the other party has other reasons for chasing him.
And this bottle of blood is the only possibility Mu You can think of!
A single bottle of blood is not even a drop in the bucket for the huge size of the Octopus King, and it is certainly not worth it to go to war.
What is really important is the function of this blood: it can be used to find the heart of the Octopus King!
Combined with the legend about the Octopus King that I heard before: the Octopus King cannot leave the scope of the Evil Spirit Sea because it cannot move too far away from its heart, and the Evil Spirit Sea coincides with the topography of Dawn City...
The combination of these clues made Mu You think of a crazy possibility: the heart of the Octopus King may be in this Dawn City!
It was precisely because Mu You entered Dawn City with a blood bottle that could find its heart that the Octopus King was so furious that he even had to break his arm to hunt him down.
Because once Mu You gets its heart, it will be at the mercy of others, and the Octopus King will naturally stop it at all costs.
Thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Mu You came back to his senses and decisively chased in the direction where the blood droplets flew out.
The blood droplets were flying in mid-air, but they were not flying in a straight line, but along a zigzag route, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes backwards. There was no pattern. Every time they passed an intersection, they were flying. , it will turn in the other direction.
Mu You was not surprised. This was due to the characteristics of this city's moving maze. He had fully realized this when he passed through the first two areas with the help of the map.
In this city, the sense of direction is completely confusing. When you think you are walking in a straight line along a main road, you are actually making constant turns.
On the contrary, when you take a winding and seemingly irregular route, from God's perspective, you are walking in a straight line.
In this city, all the directions felt visually and intuitively are just illusions.
This is why maps are so important.
And now, he has something comparable to a map.
The heart of the Octopus King is supposed to be placed in the center of the city, so if you follow the blood drop now, you can theoretically find a direct way to Area 5.
The blood droplets flew rapidly, and Mu You chased after him, but he soon discovered that the blood droplets seemed to be gradually consumed in the wind, and the blood droplets became smaller and smaller over time.
About two minutes after flying out, the blood droplet completely disappeared into the air ahead.
"Can I only last two minutes..."
Mu You secretly estimated that this bottle contains about a hundred drops of blood, and each drop lasts two minutes, which means it can be used for two hundred minutes.
Based on an average of 90 minutes to pass through an area, it would take about 270 minutes to complete the remaining areas 3, 6, and 5. Of course, the fifth area is special. If he has a map, he may be able to reduce the usage.
But no matter what, this bottle of blood must be used sparingly.
Shaking his head, seeing the octopus soldiers chasing after him, Mu You had no choice but to pour out another drop of blood and continue to follow the blood drop.
…
Entrance to area six.
Time passed slowly. I don’t know how long it took, but the first figure appeared at this intersection that had been silent for thousands of years.
Followed closely by more than two hundred people, it was the team of the Divine Right of Kings who arrived here first.
"finally reached!"
Looking at the entrance to the area in front of them, Xiaoxiao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Should we be faster than Jack's group now?" Someone in the team discussed.
"Definitely, they don't have Map No. 9, and they will waste some time in Area No. 9. But we just passed Area No. 2 at full speed because of that ghost captain!"
"Indeed, thanks to Captain Ghost, according to time calculation, we should be at least 40 minutes ahead of Jack's group now!"
"Sure enough, we have the greatest advantage!"
"Where's Captain Ghost?"
"Who knows, he might still be playing hide-and-seek with the octopuses!"
"Hahaha……"
…
Now that the situation has basically stabilized and everyone is in a good mood, they have time to relax and talk and laugh.
But just when the atmosphere was relaxing, a sound that made the air freeze suddenly came from behind the team.
"Wait, I, I think I saw the ghost captain..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Stop joking at this time!" Someone immediately yelled next to him.
"No, I'm serious..."
"Captain Ghost, just follow me now..." The man argued aggrievedly.
Many people looked back subconsciously.
Then, a series of gasping sounds sounded from the scene.
At the corner of the street behind them, a lone figure was seen hanging behind, and further back, there was the familiar swarm of octopuses, following the footsteps of the man in front of them, coming in a mighty manner.
"It's not easy, but I have caught up with you!"
The ghost captain's voice sounded.
Only then did everyone realize that this man seemed to be much faster than before. In just a few breaths, he had closed the gap of one street and was completely catching up to him.
"You, how did you get here?" The devil reacted first and was shocked.
"How else could I come here? I ran here on two legs." Mu Youyou said.
The devil vomits blood, who asked this? He really couldn't figure out how the other party got out of the third area without a map, and in terms of speed alone, it seemed to be faster than them? The other party was led astray before.
As a result, before the devil could speak again, he saw the other party running towards him at lightning speed, followed by a large octopus behind him: "Quick, quick, stop me, let me Take a breath!"
"Damn it, don't come over here!" the demon yelled, and hurried away like a plague.
"Why are you running? You agreed to come to District 6 to take me with you? I have already recorded what you said before. If you go back on your word, be careful that I will expose you on the forum later!" Mu You threatened.
