Since Yinyin knew the place, the four of them quickened their pace, trying to get to the front of the crowd.

But there were just too many people heading that way, and in just a short while, the nearby roads were completely blocked.

Men, women, young and old were all mixed together. Those behind kept trying to move forward, but those in front weren't necessarily fast. As they walked, some people were trampled underfoot.

If they were sober, anyone would know this was wrong. But at this moment, no one chose to stop; they even wore eerie smiles as blood splattered on their faces.

The already red clothes became even more damp, and red liquid even started dripping down.

"Ugh..." Old Fatty couldn't help but gag, and even Yan'er felt nauseous.

Xie Yong originally thought that Yin Yin would feel uncomfortable like them, but after observing her carefully, he found that although Yin Yin was frowning, she did not have a big reaction, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

In fact, Yin Yin was still somewhat uncomfortable, but the scene before her was still somewhat inferior to the brutal battlefields and mountains of corpses and seas of blood in her memory.

At this moment, Yin Yin felt more uneasy than uncomfortable.

The power of the Crimson Moon is really that strong?

Seeing this, Yan'er said, "Judging from this, we definitely can't leave in the normal way, and we're likely to get hurt. These people don't have much of a thinking ability right now."

The fat man chimed in, "If we can't get there the normal way, then... what are they doing?!"

It's no wonder that the fat man reacted so strongly; it's truly terrifying to see hundreds of people walking by while turning their heads to look at you with stern faces.

Do you also believe in the Red Moon?

These people changed the words they used.

"Let's go," Xie Yong said, pulling Yin Yin along and urging the other two to run uphill. "We've been discovered."

"Really?" the fat old man said instinctively as he ran after them. "We're all using talismans, how could they possibly find us?"

"The talisman has expired?"

Old Fatty completely disagreed with Yan'er's guess: "Absolutely impossible. These talismans were drawn by my master himself. He is much more skilled than me. If this talisman hadn't been so strange, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out."

“I think Yan’er is right,” Yin Yin said, “but rather than expired, I think it should be said that it has become ineffective.”

Yinyin pointed to the sky: "While we were observing the situation outside, the red moon was shining on us."

"Hiss," Old Fatty felt goosebumps rising all over his body. "Do we need to make more talismans? But at this rate of usage, I could never make enough."

"You don't need to worry about me," Yin Yin stopped when there was only one floor left. She took out the destiny chart she always carried with her, bit her index finger, and quickly began to draw on it.

Old Fatty stopped when he saw her movements, wanting to watch closely but also feeling embarrassed to steal her skills.

Yan'er rolled her eyes at him and stood guard beside him.

Of the group, the one who was most surprised was Xie Yong, who was closest to Yin Yin. This side of Yin Yin was something he had never seen before; it was quite novel.

The horoscope wasn't large, but the array Yin Yin drew on it was anything but simple. Larger arrays nested within smaller ones, interlocking in a very intricate way. Before long, Old Fatty felt his eyes were dazzled, unable to remember or understand it.

He used to think he was quite talented, but looking at Yin Yin, he felt utterly useless.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the skin was slightly broken but the blood kept flowing shows that she is no ordinary person.

Because of Yin Yinlu's skill, Old Fatty now looked at her with a similar sense of admiration he had shown Xie Yong. As an expert, he knew how difficult it was for Yin Yinlu to perform so smoothly.

Just as Yin Yin's destiny chart was about to be completed, rustling footsteps were heard at the top of the stairs.

Xie Yong, whose attention had been focused on Yin Yin, immediately turned around, drew his weapon, and aimed it at the stairwell.

"No, no, no, don't do it!" It turned out to be Bai Shiyi, whom I had met once in the previous instance. "Well, I left some scouting equipment here before, and I found you guys here and came looking for you."

Xie Yong shielded Yin Yin behind him.

Old Fatty stepped forward and said, "Hey brother, you came all this way to see us. Is there some news you want to tell us?"

Bai Shiyi immediately laughed: "Brother Pang is the best at this, but if you want to get information from me, you'll have to follow the old rules."

Seeing him hold up three fingers and rub them together in front of him, Xie Yong immediately refused: "We already know the final location."

Bai Shiyi's smile remained unchanged: "So what if you know the final location? If you can't successfully stop the Red Moon's invasion, and the whole world belongs to the Red Moon, there's no way to clear the game. In the end, you'll only be able to choose one option."

"So many people are heading that way, and you only have four people here, right? They say even two fists can't beat four hands, let alone so many hands."

“But it’s a different story if you buy my information. I have ways to make these people stop.”

After these words were spoken, Old Fatty and Yan'er fell silent, waiting for Xie Yong's decision.

Seeing Xie Yong remain silent, Bai Shiyi's eyes slowly filled with certainty, certain that Xie Yong would definitely make this deal with him.

The more influential a person is, the more they tend to value the number of times they can access pop-ups.

But Xie Yong seemed determined to thwart Bai Shiyi's idea, saying, "Haven't you already received the reward you wanted, or rather, only we could possibly give it to you?"

Bai Shiyi gave him a look that said, "You're kidding me," and even Lao Pang and Yan'er didn't realize what was going on.

"Captain Xie, I came here sincerely to make a deal with you, but you're playing me for a fool. That's not fair."

"Where is it not right?" It was Yin Yin who spoke, having already finished drawing the horoscope.

She peeked out from behind Xie Yong and looked at Bai Shiyi: "I don't know how many people are left in this instance, but since you chose to come to us at this time, it means you believe that only we have the ability to clear this instance after receiving your message."

"The most crucial point is that you absolutely cannot accomplish this on your own; you cannot pass the test by your own abilities."

"Given this premise, our transaction should not be about buying information with money. The correct transaction should be that you use the information you have to secure a pop-up opportunity."

"I think I don't need to elaborate on how important the pop-up opportunity is in this game; it's something that no amount of money can compare to."

"If you calculate it that way, you've made a killing."

Yin Yin's words couldn't be clearer, and both Old Fatty and Yan'er looked enlightened.

Bai Shiyi didn't delay for long. After a wry smile, he said, "Everyone says that Captain Xie is smart and capable. He's one of the few captains in Zero Degrees that we've approached many times but haven't been able to close a deal with. I originally thought they were exaggerating, but I didn't expect the rumors to be true."

“And this young lady,” Bai Shiyi glanced at the distance between her and Xie Yong, “it seems you are another player like Captain Xie, making it difficult for us to complete a deal.”

Yinyin carefully placed the horoscope close to her body: "Time is of the essence, so let's skip the unnecessary chatter, don't you agree?"

Bai Shiyi sighed: "Alright, alright, I know how to gather these people back into the city, and I also know how to open the altar."

Yinyin blinked. Something about what she was saying seemed off. Were these two things done in a specific order, or did they need to be done simultaneously to succeed?

A thought struck her, and she decided to try and bluff him: "But if that's the case, Mr. Bai Shiyi's sincerity doesn't seem quite enough. Or would you be willing to help out and personally keep watch in the city to ensure everyone returns?"

Bai Shiyi immediately said, "Oh my, this young lady is really perceptive."

At this point, Bai Shiyi seemed to give up digging a hole and "revealed" all the information he had obtained.

"There are two ways to leave this instance smoothly. One is for someone in the city center to hold back those people controlled by the Red Moon, while the others work together to open the passage to the altar, and then we can leave directly."

"But there's a fatal problem: the person in the city center can't stop. Once he loses control and tries to leave for the altar, he'll be torn to pieces by the rampaging Red Moon followers. In a physical sense."

"The other is to control these people in the city center, find a few necessary items, suppress the Red Moon's abilities, and finally release the original power of the moon."

“It’s not that I didn’t mention the second option before, it’s just that it’s too difficult,” Bai Shiyi said, spreading his hands. “Many people have come to this place, and many have received the news, but in the end they all chose the first option and successfully left.”

"Why?" Yan'er asked, puzzled. "Is there something inside that can't be found?"

“That’s right,” Bai Shiyi said. “There are a total of seven items to look for. The locations of the other six items are quite clear after so many searches, but the last one has been searched so thoroughly that people have almost turned the entire dungeon upside down and still haven’t found it.”

Seeing everyone's curious expressions, Bai Shiyi didn't mind telling them. After all, if it couldn't be done, it would just be useless information and wouldn't fetch a good price.

"It is the Arrow of Moonlight."

Bai Shiyi explained, "The ancient books in this copy contain records of the Moon Arrow, which is said to be a gift from the moon, formed from moonlight, and has the quality of dispelling all illusions."

That sounds so familiar.

Yinyin glanced at the bow in her hand: "Breaking through all illusions... Could it be that this arrow can also pierce the Red Moon?"

“Perhaps,” Bai Shiyi said, “the book doesn’t record much, and since no one can find the actual object, all the guesses are just guesses.”

"And as far as we know, this copy is not static."

"Initially, the power of the Red Moon was not actually that strong. The team that initially chose Method One actually managed to leave with all its members."

"But as the dungeon was activated more and more often, we found that Red Moon's control over the dungeon was gradually increasing, and then a situation arose where an entire team was unable to leave, and it got worse and worse."

"It is said that there used to be a normal moon in the sky above this instance, but as you can see now, there is nothing but a red moon."

“Perhaps you’ve ever considered,” Yin Yin gripped the bow tightly, “that perhaps it’s because the normal moon is getting weaker that you can’t find what you’re looking for?”

"If the first team that entered the instance hadn't used a clever trick to leave, perhaps the power of the Red Moon wouldn't have expanded to this extent."

Xie Yong understood what she meant: "There should only be one way to clear this dungeon. The other way is actually a shortcut given by Red Moon."

"The more people take shortcuts, the stronger the power of the Red Moon will become. This cycle will continue, and this dungeon may soon become an unsolvable dungeon."

Unsolvable instances won't be closed, but everyone who enters will only be able to leave after losing one ejection opportunity. Of course, it's possible that some people have already used up their opportunities and will remain in such instances indefinitely.

"Judging from the current situation, this might be our last time," the fat man said jokingly, but seeing the serious expressions on the other people's faces, he scratched the back of his head and felt a sense of urgency.

“Let’s look for it,” Xie Yong decided. “We can’t give up without even trying.”

Old Fatty and Yan'er naturally chose to support him.

Seeing this, Bai Shiyi muttered, "Saving a dungeon? That seems like a good idea. Tsk, why am I getting a little excited too?"

On the surface, Bai Shiyi seemed reluctant, but he carefully explained how to control these Red Moon believers in the city center and where to find several other items.

Now that we know all the information we need to know, the questions arise.

Who will go to the city center to take control of the Red Moon followers?

“I’ll go,” Yin Yin said, gently stroking the fortune chart at her waist. “If I go, I should be more secure than you all.”

"Besides," Yin Yin looked at Xie Yong, "you won't just not come back for me after we've found everything, will you?"

That's true. Regardless of whether there's a way out or not, Xie Yong will choose to walk with her this time.

Bai Shiyi shook his head slightly. In his opinion, collecting everything was an impossible goal. He could play along with them while searching for things, but when it was time to give up, he would definitely leave without hesitation.

His thoughts weren't hard to guess, so to prevent Bai Shiyi from giving up before finding everything, and the prince from taking a shortcut that would cause the dungeon to fail, Yin Yin said directly, "Come find me after you've found everything. I have a way to get the final Moon Arrow."

Bai Shiyi suddenly looked up, filled with doubt.

"You mean that!" Because there were outsiders present, Old Fatty stopped halfway through his sentence, but Yan'er and Xie Yong both realized what Yin Yin was talking about.

What was the name of the arrow she used to pin the Red Moon cultists who were trying to attack them to the wall?

Seeing their performance, Bai Shiyi was also uncertain.

Old Fatty and Yan'er exchanged a glance, then immediately put their arms around Bai Shiyi's neck: "Brother, let's go find things together as a pair, it'll definitely be faster than going alone!"

Xie Yong then looked at Yin Yin and said, "I'll go to the city center with you first."
