Chapter 238: Basin of Extinction (5)

Because of the necklace, Chief Qiu thought of many things at once.

And now, when facing Angelica's questioning, Qiu Qiu didn't know whether he should take out the necklace.

After all, Qiu Chief still recognized Angelica's intelligence. If Angelica saw the properties of the necklace, she would definitely think of many things.

Although Qiu Chief recognized Angelica's intelligence, it was only a short while after the game's beginning, and there was definitely a huge gap between her and Angelica's subsequent growth. Qiu Chief was a little worried that if something happened, Angelica would be hit hard and become depressed.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Fortunately, Angelica did not delve too deeply into Chief Qiu's affairs. Even now, Chief Qiu was lost in thought again.

Soon, Chief Qiu and Angelica returned to the hotel.

"Everyone, let's get ready."

"Wait, we have to make up for the mistake we made."

As soon as they returned to the hotel, Angelica gathered all the teammates. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Angelica informed them of the next action.

After a while, everyone replenished their supplies. Qiu Qiu and Angelica, like before, had to eat and drink on the way.

As for the route to the Vanishing Basin, I just learned about it from Etia.

Because the Vanishing Basin is a forbidden zone for adventurers, it's well known not only to the locals but also to the adventurers who venture there. After all, the interior of the basin is a place of death, forbidden to adventurers, and devoid of even a single valuable item. Consequently, it's mentioned in many local places. Etia, in particular, recently developed an interest in the area while reading a book and has since researched its contents.

Then, a group of people set off under the moonlight.

On the way to the checkpoint, Angelica and Chief Qiu recounted what had happened before while having dinner.

Because the Basin of Extinction is located on the other side of the Gray Ruins, everyone came to the gate in front of the Gray Ruins again.

This time, everyone was blocked at the gate as usual.

"What are you doing here?"

"If your team wants to evacuate the level first, it's best to head towards Crystal Valley."

At this time, the captain of the reconnaissance team, Fogus, was guarding the entrance of this checkpoint.

As soon as Fergus saw Chief Qiu and his group, he asked directly. Since they were acquaintances, and Chief Qiu and Angelica had been present at the previous meeting, Fergus couldn't help but make the above guess.

"Captain Fugus, we need to head to the Gray Ruins."

"Can you explain why?"

"The barrier pattern of the current level has been adjusted. Most of the power is used to defend against monster attacks from the direction of the gray ruins."

"If you want to go out, I have to temporarily change the barrier mode."

"If this happens, the enemy might take advantage of the barrier changes to launch an attack on the level."

Although Fogus had no idea what the enemy chieftains were planning to do, the current situation made it unsuitable for them to enter or leave normally. Therefore, Fogus could only offer some advice. He also briefly explained the reason.

"Captain Fugus, since you know what was discussed in the meeting."

"Then you should know Master Tina. She once said there might be a way to save the level."

"Currently, we are preparing to go to the Vanishing Basin."

Faced with Fogus's reasons, Chief Qiu spoke in advance.

As for why the group of Qiu Chief took action at night, Angelica explained the reason to everyone on the way.

The main problem was time. On the one hand, the longer the time passed, the stronger the toxins outside would become, and the more people would be affected. On the other hand, the barrier on Aljeta's necklace could only last for a day. And within the Vanishing Basin, there was no telling how long it would take to find the information Master Tina mentioned.

"I know that you may be feeling too guilty because of the mission failure."

"But you've just arrived at the Kaidra checkpoint, and you believe the toxins in the Vanishing Basin are caused by rumors."

"But I want to say that among the adventurers who die in various places every year, the number of deaths in the Vanishing Basin is the highest."

"It doesn't matter whether these people came here by mistake, were deceived, or simply don't believe in evil."

"They basically died in the outer areas that we could see with our naked eyes."

After hearing the explanation from Chief Qiu, Fergus's expression changed immediately. Fergus hurriedly explained to Chief Qiu and his men, mentioning danger in every sentence.

"Captain Fugus, don't be so hasty to stop us."

"We'll explain the situation here."

"At the same time, you will need to inform President Deckard later. He may need to send someone to pick us up later."

Angelica, who had just finished her dinner, finally finished and quickly spoke to Fogus.

Afterwards, Angelica briefly explained the situation, saying that their team now had the equipment they needed to operate in the Basin of Extinction.

"this?"

“Are your items reliable?”

After hearing this, Fergus became suspicious of the item Angelica mentioned.

And what Fogus did was also in line with normal human logic.

However, Chief Qiu had a general understanding of Aljeta's identity and knew that she should have no problem handling this matter.

Angelica had already guessed about Algerta's identity. Coupled with their previous encounters, Angelica still believed Algerta's words.

"Don't worry, Master Fugus. Our team will carefully verify it."

"If, then the item has no effect."

"We will definitely return the same way we came."

"When the time comes, I hope Captain Fogus won't block us out like he is doing now."

Angelica responded half-jokingly to Fergus's concerns.

"Row."

"Looks like I can't persuade you guys with this behavior."

"But be careful in your next move."

"If it's impossible, return to the checkpoint first."

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go adjust the barrier of the level."

Having said all that needed to be said, Fogus felt he had fulfilled all his obligations. For now, he had no intention of interfering. Furthermore, Fogus held out a glimmer of hope for the enemy chief's actions. As a local living near the checkpoint, Fogus had no desire to leave his homeland.

"Captain Fugus, please wait a moment."

"Let our team get close to the barrier, then you can go over."

"On the one hand, the barrier's physical defense mechanism makes some noise when it's opened and closed. That might attract the attention of monsters outside, causing them to attack the barrier."

"On the other hand, I have something else to discuss with Captain Fugus and President Deckard."

"Because of our actions, there's a high chance that we'll be discovered by the monsters."

"There's no guarantee that the monsters will run into the basin from outside and ambush us outside."

"When the time comes, President Deckard will have to send one or two high-level professionals to hide in the dark and meet us when we come out."
