In the end, Fang Plover adopted Sylvide's suggestion.
the reason is simple.
Just like according to Parker, instead of sitting back and waiting for death, they might as well do something first - of course, it is far less exaggerated. But after bearing the risk cost, there must be corresponding benefits. The benefit is to boldly drive the other party, let the other party contact the group leaders, and even help them investigate those with dark auras.
So Cuiye, who still didn't know what was going on, began to live a non-stop life.
He had to act as a middleman to trade with dozens of regiment leaders one by one, and also go to various places to inquire about information. This took up almost all of his free time. The advantage was that he could share the battle intelligence from Fang Pliance for free. Of course, it's much more than that. Fang Pultru knew that the other party must be taking advantage of these transactions, but he turned a blind eye and everyone understood it tacitly.
However, the poet seemed to enjoy it, and tried his best to help them identify which teams had lied about their loot, and also sent them some ridiculous news from time to time. For example, he wrote in a serious tone:
"According to my investigation, these teams have concealed reports to varying degrees, but we have no way to check them one by one, so we have to turn a blind eye. However, everyone is more positive about using Tuyuanjing to replace rewards, and they concealed the reports after accepting this option. The level of the team has dropped significantly. But there are still some people who are stubborn. After checking with many parties, I made a list. I suggest that the worse teams be expelled from them. In short, we will not interact with them in the future. It’s business.”
Fang Yu felt dumbfounded, but he actually didn't care much about it. However, he still decided to deal with it according to the other party's suggestion. On the one hand, the other party was willing to take the trouble to deal with these things, which was undoubtedly good news for them. This meant that Cuiye, as the only contact with them, seemed to have no intention of caring about their team. thing.
On the other hand, these tricksters also deserve such punishment.
In the next two days, Crystal launched two more tentative attacks, but the intensity of the attacks became weaker each time. Later, the selectors completely regained their confidence and began to actively form teams to enter the mining area outside to eliminate the crystallized beasts.
Fang Yu participated in several such activities, and according to the prior agreement, Tuyuan crystals were also continuously delivered.
The Holy White Stone Guild over there also fulfilled its promise, and Fang Plover was like a miser—looking at his growing wealth, he felt pain and happiness.
The number of earth source crystals quickly piled up into a small mountain, which meant that they would need at least a group of beasts of burden to take the ore out.
Pack animals can be purchased from other people. I believe that most group leaders are willing to make this convenient for them, but this is not the crux of the problem. The crux of the problem is that if they want to take these things out from under the eyes of Crystal from this dangerous mining area, I'm afraid they really have to wait until the follow-up people arrive.
Fang Yu reported the situation here to the Seven Seas Traveler. It seemed that they might be a day or two late in arriving at the rendezvous point.
However, in this state, although there are already enough Earth Source Crystals, like all Grandet, Fang Plover of course cannot see his wealth decrease at all - not even the growth rate slows down. .
So this was the real reason why he agreed to Cuiye's proposal.
The poet obviously grasped the most urgent need in his heart.
Fang Yu sometimes wonders why other people's poets are so capable, but his own poets can't do anything?
He couldn't help but look at the sky, wondering when the poet in his family would grow up and stand alone. Tian Lan was a little confused by his look, and cautiously suggested: "Brother Ed, can you stop looking at me like that... I, I always feel a little scared."
Parker rolled on the sofa with laughter and said in a high-pitched voice: "That guy is probably planning to sell you so that he can be replaced by a more useful poet."
"Parker, you're going to die."
But of course it was just a joke.
I have to say that their poet lady is still very useful. Not only is he good at bargaining, but he is also in charge of the logistics work on the Seven Seas Traveler and is Attila's right-hand man.
Even if Fang Yu really planned to sell the person, he still had to pass Miss Elf's test first. Of course, there is also the level of Luo Yu.
However, Tian Lan finally felt a little pressure, so she took Jita and ran outside. Fang Pultru also gave them his elder leaves.
That afternoon, the first batch of support arrived in Piriede.
There are more than a hundred people in this team, with an average level of over 20. They are from a nearby medium-sized guild - of course they also have a stake in this crystal mine. However, the reinforcements did not enter the mining area. Instead, they stopped at the advance camp. Fang Plover got the news from Cuiye. As for where the latter got the news from, he had no idea. This guy could always find him. message channel.
This team has learned the lessons of the people in front and is preparing to wait for the arrival of follow-up support. However, although the reinforcements have not yet appeared in the gray forest, the news still caused a sensation here.
Not long after Fang Yu received the news from Cui Ye, he went to the Hall of Trees to verify the news. Of course, he needed his own independent source of information - after all, the arrival of reinforcements may not be a good thing for them.
But just as he entered the hall, he saw a ranger staggering in. The man's eyes were flashing with excitement. He looked at everyone else and said breathlessly:
"Orca's people are here. They have arrived at the forward camp."
Fang Yu knew that this guild named Orca was the protagonist of this incident. There was a sudden silence in the hall, and then incredible cheers erupted:
"real?"
"How many of them came?"
"When did they arrive at this place?"
Although the people staying here have fought several turnarounds in the past few days, it is still not easy to leave the mining area. In fact, as soon as the team going out goes deep into the mining area, they will be besieged by the crystallization beasts.
This is nothing, but the existence of those high-level crystallized beasts called disordered supervisors is desperate. Compared with them, the disordered guards are not even worth mentioning, and the disordered minions are as weak as children. .
In fact, on the day they defeated the Crystal Trial, a team tried to go out to explore, but ended up retreating with the loss of more than half of their manpower.
People seemed to be aware of the fact that it was not that Crystal had no way to deal with them, but it was just because they were afraid of something that they did not dare to attack with all their strength.
And the opponent obviously has extremely high intelligence. It will only send out its own army unless it is absolutely sure that it can severely damage those who go out. Once ambushed by it, the fate will be basically the same as the previous team.
Therefore, although people are here to build up the reputation of the tree people, sometimes they still have to wonder whether they can leave this place alive. Although they can be resurrected after death, no one necessarily wants to lose their life here. Especially those who have paid one-fifth of the price of Starlight are even more worried about this.
These unlucky things are rarely discussed by everyone, but after all, they still hang over everyone's mind like a dark cloud. The arrival of support at this moment was like a shot in the arm for everyone, and they suddenly felt that the light outside seemed to be a little brighter.
Even the walnuts in the ground were affected by this high morale - Zaozi, Titanium Pea and several other people were sitting in the corner of the hall at the moment, and the big cat man was also here to accompany them. They stayed here for a few days and were unable to go out to fight the crystal beasts. They were so bored that they were almost rusty.
However, Red is here to protect Fang Plover. Because they are worried about any emergencies, the Seven Seas Brigade must look out for each other when they go out.
Titanium Pea looked at the scene in the hall where everyone was celebrating, and couldn't help but said: "But we are finally here. We have also obtained a lot of Earth Source Crystals. We should finally be able to leave this hellish place."
But Rhett shook his head.
"What's wrong, Mr. Reid?" Walnut in the ground obviously had the same idea as Titanium Pea. When he saw the Lion Paladin shaking his head, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Do you think there is something wrong?"
"I felt something strange in the wind."
"Where does the wind come from underground?"
A head popped out from between them, the Papalar holding a greasy chicken drumstick in his mouth. The man had apparently taken another look around the kitchen.
The big cat man replied seriously: "That's exactly the problem, Parker."
The Walnuts on the ground looked at each other in disbelief.
But Fang Plover, who was walking back, obviously understood what the big cat man meant. The arrival of reinforcements may not simply be good news, but most people here may not realize it at the moment.
Crystal made three tentative attacks. Although it could be seen that the opponent failed to exert its full strength each time, it was not because of weakness, but because it was afraid of the power of the Heart of the Mountain.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived at the advance camp, Crystal will not fail to notice this. With its wisdom, it will definitely understand that this is its last chance. Otherwise, the situation will become more unfavorable to it as time goes by.
Maybe it will make a desperate move.
"Mr. Reid," Fang Yu asked: "Do you think Crystal will launch a general attack?"
"I didn't say that." The big cat man took out his pipe, knocked it on the table, looked at him with gray eyes, and replied lightly.
Fang Yu looked at him with wide eyes.
Rhett then said: "The wind told me."
Fang Plover: "..."
…
But this day seems destined to be restless——
Not long after returning to the hotel from the Hall of Trees, Fang Lu received another message from Cuiye.
The message is brief, but the amount of information it contains is surprising:
"I have an idea about the investigation you entrusted me with. I heard that there are several miners who may have seen the people you mentioned. I don't know if these people are still in the Ash Forest, but as far as I know You know, at least a few of their friends are still here. So there is a high possibility that they will stay and wait for my news."
But how could Fang Yu still sit still after seeing such a piece of news. The reason why they stayed here, besides searching for the Earth Source Crystal, was also because of the mission entrusted to them by Munyarit.
Originally they had no clue about this, and the mining area was firmly occupied by crystals. In addition, the Seven Seas Brigade could not stay here for too long, so Fang Plover was almost ready to give up on this mission.
However, they didn't expect that when things came to pass, that guy actually had such great abilities - if all this was true, then this was really the biggest surprise that the other party had brought to them.
This was even enough to make Fang Yu forget his doubts about the other party.
He immediately opened the communication crystal and sent a message: "Cuiye, where are you? I saw the message you sent. Is it true?"
But the news that came over there made Fang Yu feel like he was hit on the head by an unexpected surprise. The poet's voice was still confident, and he told him: "You came just in time, I have found those people."
"Those people, who are they?" Although Fang Yu had already expected it, he was still a little disbelieving: "Have you found them?"
"Absolutely," Cuiye nodded, "I found their friends, and they told me that they are still here. Don't worry, I have made an appointment for you to meet at the Tree Hall later. Of course, the money for the treat is I’ll put it in your account, okay?”
"No problem at all."
Fang Yu wanted to pick this guy up and give him a kiss - bah, no, he was going to award him a one-ton medal. He didn't expect this guy to be so powerful. This really helped them solve a big trouble.
Not only for the generous rewards from the tree people, but more importantly, he and the big cat people had long suspected that those people might be dark believers, and they had long had an incompatible relationship with these dark believers.
From Doriphon to Fenris, to Idos and Istania, from the dragon witch's resurrection conspiracy, to the secrets of Toragothos and the blind god Desca, he can clearly feel that these people are here. The many conspiracies laid by Corin-Ithurion.
If they can discover the other party's plan early, this may be a powerful supplement to their investigation of the dark believers, and they may not even discover key secrets.
Just as they had caught the followers of Tansniel.
He immediately made an appointment with Cui Ye, then turned off the communication crystal before announcing the news to others.
But compared to his excitement, the others were obviously much calmer. After hearing this, Sylvester blinked and asked: "Although there may be new progress in the mission over there, the general attack that Crystal may launch , what should the captain do?"
She added:
"If Crystal is going to launch an attack, it should be before the follow-up reinforcements arrive, that is, within a day or two. This time should coincide with the time we go to investigate what's going on here, right?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. He was so excited that he actually forgot about this matter. This is indeed a problem. Even if they meet the miners and get useful clues from them, it will still take time to launch a follow-up investigation.
And this time should coincide with the attack that Crystal may launch. And even if the tree people blocked this round of Crystal's attack, after the follow-up reinforcements arrived, it would be inconvenient for them to stay here in their current situation.
"Then we have to hurry up," Fang Yu thought for a moment and replied, "I wonder if you have paid attention to the pattern of crystal attacks?"
"I know this, Brother Ed," Tian Lan immediately chirped: "I heard that every trial by Crystal will start at noon and end before nightfall. There will never be any exceptions?"
"This is not just heard, in fact, even other selectors have discovered this," Jita shook her head slightly, "Not only that, the adventure groups and teams staying here have also formulated some special plans for this purpose. tactics to deal with this. They will go out after nightfall to clear out the remaining crystallized beasts outside in order to get some rewards. As long as they do not go deep into the mining area, there will almost certainly be no problems."
Fang Yu nodded, a little satisfied that everyone seemed to be busy during this period, and everyone was paying attention to collecting intelligence.
He said: "Although I don't know why this is - it may be related to the fluctuation of the crystallized beasts' power, or there may be something under the ground that restricts their performance; it may even be the reason for the heart of the mountain. ——Perhaps at that time, the power of the heart of the mountain is the weakest."
"However, regardless of the reason, this means that Crystal's next attack may be carried out before the next noon. It may be tomorrow, or it may be the day after tomorrow, in short, before the follow-up reinforcements of the guild here arrive."
"So based on the principle of showing leniency to the enemy, we'd better finish the matter before today?" Rhett asked.
Fang Plover nodded again.
"Before nightfall today, we will meet with the miners to see if we can get some useful information from them. It is best to finish the matter before noon tomorrow, so that even if reinforcements arrive, we can leave calmly .”
He looked at the others: "What do you think?"
"No objection." The big cat man shrugged.
Everyone nodded.
After that, everyone got busy. Fang Yu also sent another message to Cuiye, telling the other party his guess that Crystal might launch a general attack, and asked him to pass the news on to others.
He didn't know if anyone in the midst of the singing and dancing here had realized this, but he had fulfilled his obligation by reminding his collaborators.
Otherwise, if these guys become so inflated because of the arrival of reinforcements that they don't know what they are doing, and let Crystal knock down their hometown with a general attack, then everything will be over.
After Cuiye received the news over there, he was obviously a little surprised. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "...It seems that this is indeed a possibility. Thanks to you for reminding me, I heard that there are several teams planning to take this opportunity to go out. After harvesting a wave of heads, it seems we have to stop them quickly."
Fang Yu was speechless for a while, not knowing what these people were thinking.
