I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

"Chen Yang! Chen Yang! Wake up!"

Hearing a familiar female voice, Chen Yang groggily opened his eyes.

what's the situation...

I was just in the arena...

His memory only extends to the moment the energy bursts forth.

A chaotic energy storm tore him apart.

With difficulty, Chen Yang raised his head, looked around, and found himself back in the garden.

Dusk had fallen, and a considerable amount of time had passed.

He is lying on the ground right now.

Liu Yan squatted down beside Chen Yang, and when she saw that Chen Yang had woken up, she quickly helped him up.

"Did we... lose...?"

Despite having many doubts, Chen Yang still asked the question that concerned him the most.

"Zhao Changming...they ascended to immortality...It's alright, Chen Yang, we did our best..."

Liu Yan forced a smile and comforted Chen Yang.

"..."

With his mind racing, Chen Yang felt a throbbing headache.

He had so much to say, but for a moment he didn't know how to begin, and in the end he could only let out a long sigh.

"Hey..."

"Speaking of which, Liu Yan... how did you get into my garden?"

“I was just about to tell you this,” Liu Yan said solemnly. “When the Ascension Tournament ended, everyone was recalled and returned to their own gardens.”

"Huang Aotian and I died prematurely and were not affected by the final explosion. We are contacting you two through the channel."

"But neither you nor Huangfu Qinghe have responded."

"At this point, a player found me and said that she also had the ability to travel between areas."

Hearing this, Chen Yang was taken aback.

"Isek also has the ability to traverse areas... So it turns out more than one player possesses this ability..."

Thinking about this, he became even more puzzled: "What does this person want with you?"

"She said she was afraid that Isaac would target you. If you and Huangfu Qinghe died, there would be no one left to fight against Isaac."

"Then she took me to Zone 1."

"Then I found you unconscious in the garden. Huang Aotian called to you for a long time, but you didn't wake up."

"Later, Huang Aotian went to find Huangfu Qinghe with that player."

Liu Yan finished speaking.

"I see."

Chen Yang rubbed his temples, understanding dawning on him.

It must be said that this player who appeared out of nowhere was indeed very thoughtful.

Affected by the final blow of the Ascension Tournament, Chen Yang and Huangfu Qinghe both fell into a coma for a time.

If Isaac were to launch a sneak attack during this opportunity, they would be caught completely off guard and would surely die.

At this moment, on the path outside the garden, a halo of light slowly rotated in the air, as if some invisible force was tearing space apart.

With a slight ripple, a portal suddenly formed, reflecting a faint luster like a mirror.

Three figures emerged from the portal.

Huang Aotian and Huangfu Qinghe walked in front.

The last person was a short-haired woman dressed in black.

Her eyes were sharp and her steps were brisk.

As she landed, the portal behind her vanished silently.

Seeing this, Chen Yang stood up and walked towards the newcomer with Liu Yan.

This woman must be the player with the teleportation talent that Liu Yan mentioned.

"I am Chen Yang, and I am very grateful for your help."

The short-haired woman said calmly, "It's nothing, just a small favor. My name is Ling Qi."

The two shook hands, which was considered a greeting.

"Chen Yang, damn it, now that we have a way to cross regions, let's all five of us go straight to District 32 and kill Isaac!"

Huang Aotian's face was gloomy: "I admit I can't win the Ascension Tournament, but with so many lives, that beast Aisek must pay the price!"

"Brother Aotian, don't rush..." Liu Yan comforted the agitated Huang Aotian.

"If we don't kill them now, when will we? ...Are we going to wait for even more victims to appear?"

Huang Aotian's lips trembled slightly. Although his tone did not reveal much anger, everyone could tell that he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

"I agree."

Ling Qi spoke calmly, but his words could not hide his hatred for Isaac.

“This beast killed my friend, and I hope he can be buried in hell as soon as possible.”

Liu Yan stood to the side, her hands clasped together, her head slightly bowed: "But...but it has so many plants on the combat power ranking, shouldn't we make thorough preparations before we go?"

"No matter how many you have, it's useless! Have you forgotten that there's a limit to the number of plants a player can plant? He can only plant a maximum of nine plants right now!"

"His plants are only at the fourth level at most, while Qinghe's sunflowers are at the fifth level!"

"Have you forgotten how Chen Yang's fifth-tier Mordekaiser swept through nine fourth-tier plants back then? Even the Sunflower could do that!"

Huang Aotian became more and more excited as he spoke, but was choked by a single sentence from Huangfu Qinghe.

"My sunflower has been used up too much and is now in a weak state, so I can't make a move."

Ling Qi, who was listening nearby, couldn't help but ask, "What about Chen Yang's fifth-tier plant?"

"Due to some special reasons, it can't be used right now either," Liu Yan explained on her behalf.

There was a brief silence in the air.

"But after the Ascension Tournament ended, the system rewarded our team for second place with a Tier 4 upgrade card..."

"You fucking talking so slowly, huh?!" Huang Aotian punched Huangfu Qinghe on the back with his backhand, then said:

"With this Tier 4 upgrade card, we can create another Tier 5 plant! Let's not delay!"

"No, the current fifth-tier plants may not be able to suppress Isaac."

Huangfu Qinghe slowly shook his head, "Of the nine fourth-tier plants that Mordekaiser faced back then, four were just ordinary fourth-tier high-nut plants."

"Now that Isaac has nearly half of the plants on the combat power list, he can put together an even more powerful lineup."

"Going there rashly would most likely be a pointless death."

"I think it's safer to wait until the sunflowers recover."

After hearing these words, Huang Aotian's throat moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

He knew in his heart that Huangfu Qinghe's words were not without reason.

Although he was anxious, he didn't want anyone else to lose their life because of his impulsiveness.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled down from the horizon, covering the entire garden like a thin golden veil draped over them.

The evening breeze was cool, and the grass and trees smelled sweet.

The shadows overlapped, stretching long across the grass, carrying an indescribable weight in their silence.

Chen Yang lowered his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He spoke slowly, breaking the deadlock.

"I'll go. I'm confident I can take down Isaac."

To Ling Qi's surprise, no one raised any questions at this moment.

Having just listened to the heated discussion, she also felt that it was better to proceed cautiously.

However, when Chen Yang spoke up, none of the other three tried to dissuade him.

The real reason is simple: the other three know Chen Yang and they believe that Chen Yang would not do anything without being sure of success.

Ling Qi didn't understand everyone's attitude and asked with some confusion, "Didn't you just say we should be on the safe side?"

"No one can guarantee that he won't attack us first. In that case, we might as well strike first."
