Previously, Wu Dingchao would produce a pair of silver armor on his body, which had extremely high defensive capabilities. I wonder if it was the equipment or his own skills?
Anyway, the silver armor is completely invisible in this charred body at this moment.
Of course, things like armor have little appeal to Jiang Yue.
He has the armoring skills himself, and he also has the Cloud Shield Talisman to protect him, which is double insurance. There is no need to covet any more silver armor.
That thing was too conspicuous and had Wu Dingchao's distinct personal traces. Jiang Yue had no interest in wearing it.
After two battles with Wu Dingchao, Jiang Yue raised his head and looked at the sky again. The fog that seemed to have become lighter before seemed to be a little thicker as dusk gradually approached, and there was a little more unknown fear.
…
About five or six miles away from the strange rock slope, Zheng Kang's walking speed was still leisurely. Even Qin Guoao and Zhang Jiacheng felt it was a bit too much.
From their previous area to the rocky slope, it would only take an hour at most if they drove at full speed.
But they walked for more than two hours, and they were still several miles away from the strange rock slope. Seeing that the sky was starting to get darker, it would almost be dark if we walked to the rocky slope at this speed.
"Zheng Kang, aren't we going too far?" Qin Guoao couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it better to be cautious?" Zheng Kang glanced at Qin Guoduo with a suspicious face, "Do you know your opponent? Do you know the depth of your opponent? If they set up an ambush halfway, you have to step on it in a hurry. What should I do if I fall into someone else’s trap?”
Qin is proud but does not believe in evil: "What kind of ability does Yangfan Middle School have? With that kind of ability, why are they procrastinating on a challenge, and have not dared to accept the challenge readily, until now?"
"Besides, didn't Wu Dingchao lead the way? If there is an ambush, it won't be our turn." Zhang Jiacheng helped.
Zheng Kang smiled and said nothing.
Wu Dingchao is crazy, but his positioning of these two guys is really right.
Essentially, these two are a pair of losers.
If Zheng Kang didn't have other ideas, he really didn't want to be associated with these two guys who thought they were smart but were actually idiots.
The main reason is that these two guys don't have a stable position at all.
Wu Dingchao was scolded by Wu Dingchao, but Zheng Kang also spoke for them.
Looking back, instead of being grateful, they intentionally or unintentionally joined forces to isolate Zheng Kang.
"Two idiots..." Zheng Kang shook his head in his mind. He didn't want to waste his time explaining too much to these two idiots, but he still kept a leisurely pace.
We have been here all the way, and the closer we get to the strange rock slope, the more careful we have to be.
In fact, Zheng Kang's current mental state is not as relaxed as it appears.
The degree of caution in his heart is much stronger than it appears on the surface.
At the same time, he also muttered. With Wu Dingchao’s fighting power, it’s taken him so long to break through the strange rocky slope. Logically speaking, there should be results, right?
Could it be that the calculation was wrong and the group of people from Yangfan Middle School were not at Qishishipao?
He had indeed inferred three places before, but this strange rock slope was indeed the most likely point, with a probability of at least over 70%.
As long as those people at Yangfan Middle School have some brains, this strange rock slope is indeed the most suitable place to hide. If you take defense, the jagged and strange rocks all over the mountain can indeed have a great effect.
Could it be that Wu Dingchao is in trouble?
This thought flashed through Zheng Kang's mind.
He himself was frightened by this idea.
Wu Dingchao is usually very crazy in Star City No. 1 Middle School, but the strength he shows is indeed overwhelming. In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, the top ten people in Star City No. 1 Middle School, excluding Wu Dingchao, have basically no chance of winning against Wu Dingchao.
That show-off guy was born to fight.
Zheng Kang is different from Wu Dingchao. He has always kept a low profile and only showed three points despite being very capable. But he also knew himself. When it came to charging into battle and facing Gang head-on, all five of him together would only be killed, and there was no chance of winning at all.
This is Wu Dingchao's strength.
People who like him and people who hate him cannot help but recognize his strength.
But why is there no news about Wu Dingchao, who is extremely powerful?
Zheng Kang and Wu Dingchao were schoolmates and both were outstanding among the awakened people. He often tried to figure out Wu Dingchao's temperament.
He had no doubt that if Wu Dingchao succeeded in killing the four contestants from Yangfan Middle School, the first thing he would do was to show off in front of them.
To put it poorly, it’s pretentious; to put it nicely, it’s called boasting.
But he never showed up.
This made Zheng Kang feel suspicious and even slightly uneasy.
Wu Dingchao was so strong, with that kind of abnormal fighting power, that in the early stage of Weird, I really didn't expect any opponent to be able to withstand his frontal attack.
But these are strange times after all.
There will inevitably still be weird and unexpected factors.
This was the reason why he was unwilling to speed up.
If something unexpected happened to Wu Dingchao, even though he disliked Wu Dingchao and was hurt by Wu Dingchao's madness, he knew that this would definitely be a fatal blow to Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School.
This also meant that their so-called advantages in Star City No. 1 Middle School were all gone.
It also means that it is difficult for him, Zheng Kang, to fish again, and he must shoulder the heavy responsibility left by Wu Dingchao.
This is not just because of the interests and glory of Star City No. 1 Middle School.
Above all, it is for one's own benefit, even for one's own survival.
If the other party killed Wu Dingchao and kept doing nothing, would he still have any compassion for the remaining three of them?
Both sides knew this was a fight to the death.
Then, only one party can get out alive.
It's ridiculous that these two idiots, Qin Guoyao and Zhang Jiacheng, are still in a daze, without any sense of the overall situation, and always care about the gains and losses of some personal emotions.
You can never reason with stupid people.
Therefore, Zheng Kang did not intend to explain the overall situation to them.
If these two guys had to be stupid and plunge in, he wouldn't stop them.
It's not a bad thing to have two cannon fodder to explore the way first.
This is why Zheng Kang has always been willing to get together with them.
Not because he has to rely on the fighting power of these two people, but at critical moments, it is better to have two cannon fodder than to deal with it alone.
It's ridiculous that Wu Dingchao doesn't understand this.
I always feel like I can push through everything on my own.
Every few hundred meters Zheng Kang walked, he would stop and look around to make sure there was no danger, and then continue moving forward calmly.
Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, the sky is getting darker and gloomier, and a huge black curtain is about to cover the entire world.
The expressions of Qin Aoyao and Zhang Jiacheng became more and more unhappy.
They obviously believed that Zheng Kang was deliberately slowing down work and delaying time.
It was almost dark now, and it would be even more troublesome to move around at night.
These two guys are normal people after all. They have a kind of resistance to the instinct of the night, especially in a strange place like Qiluo Mountain, where there is weirdness everywhere and danger may appear from time to time.
Their original plan from Star City No. 1 Middle School was to destroy the team from Yangfan Middle School during the day, and then find a relatively safe place to hide at night. After dawn the next day, they would casually carry out a few small tasks and go out for business.
If there really aren’t any small tasks, that’s okay.
As long as Yangfan Middle School's team fails, they will still be decent winners even if they return empty-handed.
Such a perfect plan.
Had it been executed perfectly, they would have been in a safe position by now, starting to prepare for the night.
It's a pity that the team has an unstable factor like Wu Dingchao, this maverick madman.
Compared with the uneasiness of Qin Aoyao and Zhang Jiacheng, Zheng Kang seemed to be inexplicably excited about the coming of night.
The darker the sky, the better his mood seemed to be.
It was as if the coming of night was not a burden to him, but a blessing.
"It's finally dark..." Zheng Kang watched the sky get darker and darker. While he murmured, there was some incredible and abnormal light shining in his eyes.
It seems that the dark night is his paradise, making him feel like a fish in water.
"Wait! There seems to be some situation ahead."
Zheng Kang suddenly waved his hand, signaling Qin Aoao and Zhang Jiacheng to come closer.
The three of them turned around a mountain col and came to a mountain forest. The vegetation in this area was relatively lush, making it a good place to lay an ambush.
According to visual inspection, there is a strange rock slope not far ahead. If the fog was not so thick, the strange rock slope would have been seen long ago.
"What's going on?" Qin Guoyao said with a hint of complaint, "It's already dark, do we still move forward?"
"Are you scared?" Zheng Kang asked calmly.
Qin Ziguo said displeasedly: "Are you afraid or am I afraid? Come this way, don't think that I don't know that you are deliberately stalling for time. Zheng Kang, I really didn't expect that you are such a coward."
Zheng Kang smiled and said: "You are brave and courageous. Why don't you go ahead and explore?"
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid?" Qin Aoao said harshly, but still called Zhang Jiacheng, "Let's go and have a look."
Zhang Jiacheng and Qin Aoyao are in an alliance, but this alliance is more about mutual dependence on the psychological level. To put it bluntly, they are joining the team to keep warm and avoid being a little weak mentally when facing Wu Dingchao and Zheng Kang.
To put it bluntly, this kind of alliance is not a blood-based alliance, a life-and-death relationship.
When Zhang Jiacheng heard about the situation ahead, he instinctively didn't want to be the one who stood out.
But he couldn't stand Qin Guoguo's foul mouth, and even dragged him along.
"Zi Zi, why don't we go there together. There are many people, so we can take care of each other."
"Jia Cheng, we can't be as cowardly as some people."
Zhang Jiacheng couldn't help but secretly curse a few mmps.
You are so brave, how long have you been, why are you pretending to be stupid?
But after all, they couldn't openly quarrel with each other, so they had to reluctantly follow Qin Ziguo, and the two of them cautiously moved forward.
A moment later, Qin Aoao let out a low cry of surprise, as if he had seen the most terrifying demon in the world. The low cry was full of fear and panic.
"This...who is this?"
Zhang Jiacheng also moved over and pushed aside the grass to take a look. He was shocked to see a charred and irregular corpse. The surrounding grass was slightly messy, and it seemed that a conflict had broken out.
However, judging from the scene, this messy scene did not seem to be particularly tragic.
Compared with the tragic condition of the corpse, the degree of damage to the vegetation at the scene can be said to be minimal, with almost no obvious damage.
Zheng Kang also rushed over at this moment.
Seeing the two people with pale faces, they secretly shook their heads and ordered: "You should be careful and don't be careless."
After all, Qin Guoao and Zhang Jiacheng grew up in a honeypot. Although they are excellent awakeners, they have not experienced much real battles with real swords and guns.
Seeing such a tragic corpse, the impact on their hearts was undoubtedly huge.
I was a little confused for a while.
Zheng Kang's words made them calm down a little.
They originally looked down upon Zheng Kang, but unknowingly regarded him as their backbone.
Zheng Kang squatted down and observed the corpse for a while, his face became a little ugly.
What he worried about most finally happened.
Although the corpse was deformed, judging from some subtle features, it was most likely that the corpse was an old acquaintance of theirs.
That Wu Dingchao who is so crazy!
Although Zheng Kang originally had this worry, seeing Wu Dingchao die unexpectedly and with such a tragic body undoubtedly caused a huge shock in his heart.
Wu Dingchao is dead!
And he died so miserably!
Was it done by Yangfan Middle School? Or was it the evil spirit from Qiluo Mountain?
If it was the handiwork of a human being, how ferocious the opponent must be to do this to a living person?
Looking at the surrounding vegetation, the damage was not exaggerated. It could even be said that there was almost no obvious damage.
In other words, this was a battle scene, but it didn't seem like a too tragic battle had occurred.
How is this going?
There's no way Wu Dingchao can be taken care of by someone else, right?
With Wu Dingchao's usual ability, he would never be defeated with just one move.
Zheng Kang's heart was surrounded by an unknown fear.
He was not a timid person, but Wu Dingchao's death still made him feel a little scared.
If this was the work of Yangfan Middle School, then the opponents of Yangfan Middle School would be too terrifying.
Star City No. 1 Middle School’s previous estimate of Yangfan Middle School was ridiculous.
Isn't it Jiang Yue who is the only one who is good at Yangfan Middle School?
Star City No. 1 Middle School has also done some deductions about that person's strength. It’s not like they haven’t done research on the opponent’s strengths, abilities, and what’s so great about the opponent.
It is precisely because of his research that Wu Dingchao is so confident.
And according to Wu Dingchao's own words, he had fought against Jiang Yue and had already understood Jiang Yue's depth.
So……
Was Wu Dingchao's death the fault of Jiang Yue? Or was it that he had the misfortune to encounter the monster from Qiluo Mountain before he met Jiang Yue?
Zheng Kang stood up with a complicated expression and looked around deeply.
There was silence all around, and there was no movement.
Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it must have been an hour since the battle ended. No obvious clues could be found at the scene.
Qin Aoyao and Zhang Jiacheng were in a mood at this moment. They had completely lost their previous arrogance. They came over and asked in a low manner: "Did you find anything?"
Zheng Kang frowned and said: "We are in big trouble. This corpse is most likely Wu Dingchao!"
