I'm also desperate.
Chapter 281 A Strange Way to Open It
“Ye-ge?”
Wei Ba was the first to notice Fang Yue's abnormality.
Logically, not getting feedback from throwing an object was normal. Just throw it a few more times to find the location.
Even those who couldn’t see the platform were gradually getting used to standing on it.
But why did Fang Yue suddenly lose his composure like this?
Fang Yue didn’t hide anything and simply told Wei Ba about the water gate.
“An untouchable door…” Wei Ba was stunned. She couldn’t solve this problem.
“In Ni Dongmei’s chain of quests, is there anything special? Or any hints?”
This trial was, after all, Wei Ba’s trial.
It was really strange that they couldn’t even enter the door.
So Fang Yue speculated that Ni Dongmei should have given enough hints in the quest chain.
But Wei Ba thought hard for a while, frowned, and then sighed and shook her head slightly.
“I don’t know. There’s no clue related to the invisible water gate.”
The situation fell into a stalemate.
Fang Yue tried many more times, wasting time minute by minute, but he couldn’t find a way to make the water gate appear.
Unable to figure it out, Fang Yue couldn’t help but shout in his heart.
“Parchment!”
[Ignoring you, angry! So angry that 50 black stones can’t soothe me!]
…You’re opening your mouth like a lion! 1g of black embers, get to work!
[Playing dead. The great and noble Parchment is playing dead!]
5g! 5g of black embers, okay?
[Don’t care, don’t care, don’t care! Just playing dead! Just playing dead! Playing dead no matter how many black embers!]
[Book Benefits] Get a cash red envelope! Follow the VX public [Book Friends Base Camp] to receive it!
Fang Yue continued to ask, gradually increasing the price, but the parchment didn’t respond.
As for 50 black stones, it was obviously an angry outburst. Fang Yue didn’t even have that many stones!
Sighing, Fang Yue looked at the people beside him, “It seems we need someone to jump onto the water gate to experiment. Maybe the water gate will naturally appear after sensing a human body.”
Fang Yue proposed a terrifying hypothesis, scaring Liao Mo Ran and Hai Ming awake.
They both shook their heads repeatedly.
“Captain Ye, you’re killing people!!”
“Captain Ye, jump yourself if you want to jump. I definitely won’t jump!”
Obviously, they both thought Fang Yue was going to use them for dangerous experiments.
And the truth was, it was exactly that.
Fang Yue would definitely not throw Wei Ba out. And he himself couldn’t possibly take the risk.
Naturally, only these two people beside him were left.
“You two, don’t forget that you followed us here, wanting to do bad things to us. I was being merciful when I didn’t kill you on the spot. Now you’re making excuses when asked to do something. Dare to say you didn’t think about taking the things under the cliff for yourselves?”
Before being caught by Fang Yue, they really had such thoughts.
But after being caught by Fang Yue, they were as honest as they could be, not daring to have any bad intentions.
Now being forced by Fang Yue, they were both terrified.
“Liao Mo Ran is a villager of Mo Village, and Hai Ming, you’re a vagrant. It doesn’t matter if you die, so you should jump first.”
“Who says it doesn’t matter! If I wasn’t afraid of death, would I be following you obediently! If I wasn’t afraid of death, I would have jumped off the cliff long ago!”
Hai Ming responded angrily, making Fang Yue feel slightly embarrassed.
It was really unkind to have someone follow him silently all the way, and then be used as a tool, especially one where their life or death was uncertain.
But that was also Hai Ming’s just deserts. If he didn’t have any evil thoughts, would he have been caught and used as a tool?
Originally, only he and Wei Ba should have come down the cliff. Now that there were two more people, it was their own problem.
“Stop talking nonsense. You help me jump once, and if nothing happens, and we can return to Mo Village, I’ll arrange a guard team position for you in Mo Village as compensation, which is much better than your hunter identity. If something really happens, after you reincarnate, come to Mo Village or Guyue Village to find me, and I’ll arrange for someone to help you level up, okay?”
Fang Yue secretly added Hai Ming as a friend and sent him a message.
Only then did Hai Ming’s face look a little better.
The hunter talent was indeed wonderful, but after actually witnessing Fang Yue’s terrifying combat power, he yearned for the pinnacle of power even more.
The guard team was obviously the fastest way to improve his strength!
If he could safely return to the village this time and become a member of the guard team, the road ahead would be much easier!
Worth a shot!
With his mind made up, Hai Ming pretended to refuse a few times before agreeing.
This surprised Liao Mo Ran greatly.
He didn’t remember Hai Ming being the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others.
In any case, Hai Ming was willing to be a pioneer, and the situation opened up once again.
Fang Yue thought of several plans before finally lifting and pushing Hai Ming.
Hai Ming immediately flew towards the water gate.
The moment he touched the water gate, Hai Ming’s body, like the objects thrown earlier, passed through completely without any interaction.
“Ahhhhh!!”
Hai Ming screamed in terror when he realized this.
The sharp, high-pitched sound echoed throughout the entire cliff abyss.
The sound reverberated back and forth, and the entire space seemed to be filled with Hai Ming’s high-pitched voice.
At the same time, seemingly affected by the high-pitched sound, the water gate actually vibrated violently like real flowing water, and… materialized from the void!
The next moment, Hai Ming got stuck.
Strangely stuck.
His body, about to pass through the water gate, had his upper body stuck on the front of the water gate, and his lower body stuck below the surface of the water.
“Ahhhhh… Ah? Ah ah? Eh?”
Hai Ming, who was excitedly covering his body with internal energy, finally realized that he hadn’t fallen.
At the same time, the water gate began to vibrate slowly, and the tightly closed door was slowly opening!
The desolate and strange ruins were right in front of them!
But as Hai Ming froze, the high-decibel volume also ended, and the water gate, which had just opened a crack, slowly closed again and turned from solid to void.
Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!
Hai Ming was immediately frightened and at a loss, completely panicked.
And at this moment, Fang Yue, who had taken everything into his eyes, suddenly took a deep breath.
“Hah!!”
The sound of the loud shout instantly erupted.
But… no reaction!
The water gate was still turning into an illusion.
Fang Yue’s expression changed, knowing that his thinking was wrong, and he quickly shouted, “Don’t stop! Keep shouting! Keep shouting! Hai Ming, keep shouting!!”
Although Hai Ming didn’t know why Fang Yue wanted him to do this, in this life-or-death situation, he didn’t have time to think, and immediately screamed again.
The high-pitched sound reverberated in the space again, and the water gate… once again materialized from the void, slowly opening a crack!
Understood! Completely understood!
A gleam flashed in Fang Yue’s eyes.
No wonder he had tried high, medium, and low sounds before to activate the water gate, but there was no reaction, but Hai Ming had an effect.
It turned out that the water gate needed a human body to overlap with a part of it, and then the overlapping person had to emit a high-pitched sound to open the water gate!
