Chapter 1689: Setting Off into the Rainforest Maze
Jiangnan, his head covered in large red bumps, had to put in a huge amount of effort just to explain himself!
He also took the opportunity to relay the information he had gotten from Vivian to everyone!
Everyone's scalps were tingling. There were only three track spikes left?
If they didn't enter soon, it might really be too late!
Xia Yao looked at Jiangnan's big red lumps with a face full of heartache.
(。ớ₃ờ)ھ "There, there～ Rubbing it will make it feel better, hoo～ Who hit you? They were really ruthless. How could they bear it?"
Jiangnan: (￢～￢ bump)
Wasn't it you?
Corgi also breathed a sigh of relief, glad that it wasn't what he had imagined!
But then Jiangnan changed the subject: "The main issue right now is how to solve the problem of Hairclip Vivi's information being read by the superior Vivi!"
"As long as we block her, Hairclip Vivi's clone won't be readable across levels by her superior Vivi, and she can be considered temporarily independent!"
Everyone was wary of Vivian!
Her ability was indeed perverted. Given enough time, she could build a whole Vivian legion!
After all, this guy had caused plenty of trouble out in the Western Frontier before.
But Hairclip Vivi quickly started explaining.
(*ﾟ﹏ﾟ) "I'm Hairclip Vivi. When I was split off, I was in the Mountain City. I haven't been anywhere else either!"
"Strictly speaking, what happened before wasn't done by me; it was done by the other Vivi. It has nothing to do with me..."
Everyone was baffled. Isn't that all you? Do you need to distinguish that clearly?
This Vivi, however, was interesting. She actually betrayed herself and went solo?
Just then, Liu Mang spoke up: "Block you out? That's simple! What's so hard about it?"
As he spoke, seven-colored light shot out from Liu Mang's mind, forming a rainbow-colored helmet on Hairclip Vivi's head!
"See if you can still contact your clone anymore?"
Hairclip Vivi frowned, then her eyes lit up with surprise:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "I... I can't contact her! Really, eh～ How did you do it?"
Jiangnan's eyes went wide. Such a difficult problem had been solved by Brother Mang?
"Brother Mang is that amazing?"
Liu Mang smirked proudly: (︶.̮︶◕) "It's simple, right? The connection between her clones should be through a method similar to brainwave telepathy!"
"Just intercepting the reception and transmission of Hairclip Vivi's brainwave telepathy is enough to block her out!"
"After all, I'm a mutated mental-type psychic. This kind of small thing is still doable!"
Jiangnan immediately gave Liu Mang a thumbs up!
Awesome!
This way, they wouldn't have to slap her face or give her a cupping treatment!
However, Hairclip Vivi shook her head:
(*･᷄～･᷅) "This way, the superior Vivi definitely can't check me, but I also can't check my subordinate clones anymore!"
"Also, once we enter the maze, if I get separated from this dark-skinned guy and leave the skill's range, I'll still get checked. This method isn't a long-term solution!"
Liu Mang: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿●)
Fuck your manners, right?
I don't even want to walk with you in the first place!
"That's true though. If you want to check your clones, I'll just give you permission to send brainwaves!"
"As long as I block external brainwaves, preventing you from receiving them, the superior Vivi won't be able to check you. But I can't keep the skill over her 24/7, hmm～"
"It would be great if we had a super-resistance magnet. This top-grade spirit material is the bane of mental-type psychics; it's a supreme treasure that can block brainwaves, as long as it's arranged according to specific magnetic poles!"
"But this thing is even rarer than Radiant Sun Essence Gold. It's simply not..."
Before he could finish, Lan directly pulled a piece of black magnet the size of a bed out of her alternate dimension!
It just floated in the air like that!
(๑•̀ω•́) "Is this it?"
Liu Mang: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ε꒪◕‧̣̥̇) "Pfft～"
"This... this is it? Such a big piece? How did you..."
Lan's little face flushed:
(⑉˘◡˘⑉) "I grabbed it from the Thug Organization's vault! Can it be used?"
Liu Mang nodded excitedly: "Yes! Very much so! Making a helmet out of this and putting it on Hairclip Vivi's head will block external brainwaves without hindering her from sending her own!"
Jiangnan was stunned. Damn, Little Lan Kid had some serious loot, huh?
Wasn't this Magneto's helmet?
Hairclip Vivi was also excited:
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Thank you, really..."
But Little Lan Kid pouted:
($～$#) "Thank me for what? This is mine. If you want to use it, you have to give me money!"
"One hundred million! Scan to pay or bank transfer?"
Hairclip Vivi's mouth twitched as she looked at Jiangnan:
(•́ω•̀٥) "Your daughter got this big already?"
Jiangnan fondly rubbed Little Lan Kid's head, chuckling:
"Next time you run into a situation like this, remember to ask for more, alright? Or demanding a few clones to be your maids would also work!"
Lan: ∑(°口°#)
Why... why didn't I think of that!
Hairclip Vivi ended up being swindled out of a hundred million anyway!
Liu Mang then set to work making them, creating three ultra-blocking helmets that looked like motorcycle helmets!
The front used the eye membrane of a One-Eyed species as a visor; the defensive power was definitely top-notch!
Hairclip Vivi put one on immediately. This solved the problem of being checked by the superior Vivi without hindering her ability to control her clones!
Unless she could kill off all her superior Vivis first, she'd probably have to wear this helmet for a long time!
Jiangnan grinned mischievously: (՞ټ՞) "How about you change your name to Helmet Vivi? This one suits you better now!"
[From Vivian: Resentment Value +1000!]
What the hell is Helmet Vivi? That sounds terrible!
Then Vivian started explaining the knowledge and points to note about the Rainforest Maze to everyone!
Since everyone getting separated was inevitable, the group definitely wasn't free to go wherever they wanted!
Even going through the same spatial gate didn't mean they'd enter the same spirit ruin!
To deal with this situation, Jiangnan even called Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao over to help, putting together emergency kits for everyone!
All sorts of potent stuff was stuffed inside, even Lucky Little Cherries, Word Spirit Gum, and such!
Since they were going in to try their luck, Lucky Little Cherries were perfect. But who knew what might happen when luck turned bad?
So Jiangnan instructed everyone not to use them unless they were completely out of options!
While Big Wolfie and the others were packing the cheater backpacks, Jiangnan dialed Yang Jian's number!
He told Yang Jian all about the situation, the current state of affairs, and the information he had obtained!
"We're about to enter the maze now. We'll see if we can hold the Seal Spirit Spell Array. The chances aren't great, but we'll do our best!"
Yang Jian's scalp tingled. "So it's definitely their doing, huh? The World Purification Plan? Tsk～"
Although no one knew what would happen if the Seal Spirit Spell Array was unsealed, it was definitely not going to be anything good!
And the Mayan prophecy stone tablet was definitely worrying!
"Do you want me to send Dao Heaven rank experts, or troops? Since we're guarding the track spikes... having more people would be more useful, right?"
Jiangnan shook his head. "I don't even know if I can get out myself. If we send a large number of high-end combat power and troops over, what happens if they all get trapped in the maze?"
"The problem right now is that throwing people in is one thing, but if everyone gets trapped inside, if something happens outside, there won't be any way to send support!"
"Humanity's defensive capability will also drop significantly, which might be exactly what the Holy Star wants!"
Yang Jian's expression darkened. What Jiangnan said made sense!
The maze was a bottomless pit. Throwing Dao Heaven experts or sending in troops carried too much risk; they'd probably all be bogged down inside!
If something happened outside, they'd be in deep trouble!
They had to consider the bigger picture!
"Do your best. If things become impossible, prioritize survival. If the person is safe, everything can be rebuilt!"
Jiangnan nodded. "Take care of things at home! If something happens, don't hesitate. Immediately execute the plan we decided on before!"
"Also, communicate with the various countries, let them be prepared at any time!"
"Here we go..."
With that, he hung up!
Yang Jian sat in his office, looking up at the blue moon in the sky, his heart in turmoil!
This kid had set off for the battlefield once again!
Once inside the maze, all contact with the outside world would be cut off. Everything would depend on him alone!
Knowing the dangers of the maze, what he would face, and the possibility of never coming back...
Jiangnan still chose to go in, without even hesitating!
"Humanity is fortunate to have you..."
...
In front of the camp, everyone had their cheater backpacks on!
The four Vivians were also dispersed among the crowd!
In case of separation, if someone had a Vivi by their side, they could still communicate!
After all, the connection between her and her clones couldn't be severed, even across spirit ruins!
Jiangnan instructed them: "After entering, the primary task is to find the track spikes! Annihilate any other spike-pulling teams!"
"If we kill everyone in the maze who wants to pull the spikes, then no one will want to pull them anymore!"
Qin Shou's eyelids twitched. "That plan is really crude!"
Jiangnan grinned. "If you find a track spike, try to notify the others and hold the position as long as possible!"
"If it comes to a point where you can't hold it, pull the spike and get out. Prioritize your safety!"
"As long as even one track spike remains unpulled, the First Realm Spirit Ruin can't be opened! We'll keep the spike for Boss Pang to mimic!"
"Got all that, everyone?"
Everyone nodded emphatically. "Yes, Commander Jiang!"
Jiangnan smiled in satisfaction, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright! Let's go! We're setting off!"
With that, he led the group in a teleport, instantly vanishing from the camp!
At this moment, the area outside the Rainforest Maze was packed with people!
No one knew how many factions had already started moving into the maze!
The spirit martial army of the Wanxiang Alliance was ready to go!
Bracelet Vivi was on site. The plan was progressing perfectly. These people would all become tools for pulling the spikes!
She wondered how Hairclip Vivi was doing on her end!
So, she made her routine information collection!
But the next moment, she froze on the spot!
What the hell! How come I can't contact her?
