Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 382 Zhang Jie Cheng Xiao: I know you too well!
"You've become more talkative."

Behind Chu Xuan, ripples appeared on the edge of the shadow, like melted asphalt dripping onto the water.

"Your plan, no, my plan is perfect, right?"

Chu Xuan spoke in a calm tone, not caring about Shadow's doubts.

"Yes, we set them up in a desperate situation where they had to either die or be defeated. We also set a trap for you, but you must have taken advantage of their strategy. You have a strong gambling nature. No matter if the probability is 50% or not, you still want to take the gamble."

Shadow chuckled, revealing a hint of pride.

"I admit that there was an element of gambling involved, but even though my plan was perfect, it still had loopholes."

Chu Xuan nodded and did not deny Shadow's words.

"What do you mean? If you leave loopholes on purpose, you will fail just like the last horror movie."

Chu Xuan's indifference made Shadow notice something was amiss.

"It's not intentional. Everything has variables. Nothing is truly perfect. Otherwise, you wouldn't exist."

"I see. If someone knows my plan, they might be able to figure out a way to break the impasse. Wen Lie? Do you bet he can help others overcome their inner demons?"

Shadow suddenly realized.

"He may not be able to keep everyone alive, but he can definitely keep the Zhongzhou team going."

Chu Xuan shook his head and corrected Shadow's speculation.

"Because he's strong enough and reckless enough to solve problems with his fists when he finds they can't be solved?"

Shadow's words were tinged with a hint of sneer.

"Because you are also afraid. You are not as unscrupulous as him."

Chu Xuan replied calmly.

Shadow's laughter gradually died away.

"Chu Xuan is gambling with his life again."

Wen Lie clicked his tongue, but was not surprised.

As soon as he came out of the underground and noticed the current situation, he guessed Chu Xuan's plan. However, knowing is one thing, but whether he can solve it is another.

Now that he had figured out some of Chu Xuan's ideas, Wen Lie handed over the thinking to the divine nature and analyzed the status of Zhang Jie and Cheng Xiao.

The Godhead quickly gave a reply.

Zhang Jie said the same thing as Chu Xuan, the possibility of breaking through the inner demon is extremely low, so he can only give up temporarily and let him slowly accumulate foundation.

As for Cheng Xiao, use your super power on him!

"OK!"

Wen Lie took action immediately.

The asphalt road was steaming with the midday heat. Zhang Jie was crawling on the road as he fled. Beads of sweat as big as beans dripped onto the ground, leaving dark marks.

There was not a single car passing on the wide road, and the houses on both sides looked like haunted houses. Whenever he slowed down, he would hear creepy children's songs.

This strange environment made Zhang Jie unable to extricate himself from fear.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a golden figure fell from the sky, and the aura of falling from the sky shook away the weird feeling generated by the environment.

"Fuck! I'm fucked?" The moment he saw Wen Lie, Zhang Jie reacted instantly, with an expression of humiliation and anger on his face.

There is no need to say anything extra. Wen Lie's ego is too strong. As long as you see him, you will understand that it is not something that anyone can pretend.

Zhang Jie looked back and the surrounding environment returned to normal. He was indeed fleeing on the road, but this area was not deserted. A car passed by from time to time, and residents could be seen coming and going on both sides.

However, due to Pennywise's interference, they could not feel each other's presence.

Wen Lie said succinctly, "I've sent those kids away. Get ready for the fight."

Zhang Jie asked hurriedly, "Let's fight? Can we win? Isn't it about fighting against the inner demons?"

Wen Lie glanced at Zhang Jie and said disdainfully, "I don't know if we can win, but I do know that if I don't take action, at least half of Team Zhongzhou will either sink into their inner demons and become Pennywise's food, or destroy themselves, or kill their teammates. If I flip the table, there's still a chance of victory. If I don't, it's chronic suicide."

Zhang Jie said awkwardly, "Pennywise is so sinister. I thought I was still on Elm Street."

Wen Lie said, "It's not that Pennywise is too sinister, it's that you haven't had enough experience. Also, the Central Continent team is getting stronger too quickly, and the regular combat force doesn't even have a chance to participate in the battle."

Zhang Jie scratched his head helplessly.

You can't blame him for his lack of experience. After becoming a semi-guide, there was no need for him to work hard. After he stopped being a semi-guide, he directly became the bottom of the Zhongzhou team. Later, even though he had powerful skills, he had no place to use them.

"Okay, enough talking. I'm going to go beat up Cheng Xiao."

"What the hell?"

Before Zhang Jie finished speaking, Wen Lie had disappeared.

In the commercial district of the next town, the girl with pigtails was holding Cheng Xiao's hand and excitedly walking through various clothing stores. Cheng Xiao, on the other hand, looked exhausted. Even though he was already a martial artist in the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't stand shopping with his girlfriend.

At this moment, Cheng Xiao caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

The tired look disappeared from his face. Almost as an instinctive reaction, Cheng Xiao quickly dodged in front of the girl with pigtails, protecting his lover behind him, and looked at the man who appeared outside the clothing store with full vigilance. His powerful true energy had condensed into a tangible air shield, covering himself and the girl behind him.

Wen Lie asked with a smile: "Cheng Xiao, why are you so nervous? Don't you recognize me?"

Cheng Xiao smiled wryly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "I know you, I know you too well. If I didn't know you, why would I protect her?"

Everyone in the Zhongzhou team knows Wen Lie too well. Just like when Zhang Jie saw Wen Lie, he knew that he had been deceived by Pennywise, and when Cheng Xiao saw Wen Lie, he knew that Wen Lie was here to kill people.

Wen Lie asked, "You should understand, right? Your situation?"

Cheng Xiao said frankly: "I understand, but I still say the same thing, if you want to hurt her, you have to step over my dead body first."

"Ah Xiao."

A sad voice sounded behind Cheng Xiao. Cheng Xiao trembled all over and said without turning his head: "Don't be afraid, I won't let anyone hurt you!"

"My existence is a kind of harm to you, right?"

The girl's voice was crying
"No! Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Cheng Xiao raised his voice and shouted anxiously.

"Actually, I know. I understood from the beginning that the purpose of my creation was to make you die. I'm not her. I'm just an imposter who approached you with malicious intent. Leave, Xiao. I'd feel miserable if I were with you."

The girl pushed Cheng Xiao's back with both hands, trying to push him away.

"I know, I know everything, but if you let me abandon you, I might as well die."

Cheng Xiao, who has always been flexible, turned into an indestructible rock in front of the girl. He stood firmly between the girl and Wen Lie.

The girl was already in tears. She wanted to disappear. She refused to hurt Cheng Xiao, but she was powerless. She couldn't even choose to die.
