Chapter 1625: Chapter 520: Enchanting Demon Wen Xishu

"Why don’t we take them with us? They’re actually... pretty generous." The speaker sounded like a teenage boy.

Wen Xishu had never managed to figure out the other side’s ability, and Liu Jianxin hadn’t either. That also gave them a certain impression...

They really didn’t seem hostile.

Even though you were just guessing my ability, I didn’t try to guess yours, and I made it clear I can fight.

That comes off as very magnanimous.

But Wen Xishu had no intention of letting this group go. In the apocalypse, he made himself strong precisely so he could talk properly to people—and make people properly listen.

It’s just that right now, Wen Xishu needed to use this group to release abilities. On one hand to release his own, on the other, Liu Jianxin’s ability also needed someone to "take the fall."

"My friend just now... you guessed he had some kind of extraordinary vision ability, right? In truth, he has extremely powerful perception. He’s someone who doesn’t need to rely on a shelter, who can go outside and hunt other monsters alone."

Those words gave the five across from them a real scare.

What did it mean to be someone who could hunt other monsters alone? A master of that level, in any city that actually has a ruler, would either be City Lord level, or at least a major general defending the city.

"So we’re not hostile. Otherwise..." Wen Xishu paused briefly.

Liu Jianxin suddenly got it. In a single instant, with one step he rose and fell, arriving right beside the group of five.

In this pitch-black place with zero visibility, Liu Jianxin’s pinpoint movement made the woman among the five who truly had visual enhancement just stare, dazed.

Wen Xishu said:

"Of course, I can’t compare to my friend, but I’m not that much weaker either."

"This... is true, they really are very strong," the woman said.

After Wen Xishu threw out this combo, the effect was obvious.

All five clearly realized these were people who could wipe them out with ease. So the leader—a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties—softened his tone a lot; no doubt his gaze had cleared up as well:

"Alright, alright, more people means more strength. Let’s form a friendly-unit contract, shall we?"

This was exactly what Wen Xishu wanted. Using force to intimidate the opponent was all to achieve this.

He himself could do without allies; with Hypnosis as his ability, Wen Xishu could breeze through this round.

But Old Liu couldn’t. Liu Jianxin absolutely needed allies, and preferably in large enough numbers.

Because Human Pause can’t slip past the viewers’ eyes. But maybe you can make it so the viewers can’t tell who’s doing the time stop.

Liu Jianxin’s ability looks very strong, but it’s way too easy to guess. Firing it off quickly and secretly is too risky—especially when he has to use it three times.

Especially when the viewers only need to describe the phenomenon... that almost puts Liu Jianxin in a dead end.

It’s best to mislead the viewers. So the team has to be big enough. Make it so the viewers can’t figure out who cast it.

"Sure, we’d love that. The two of us like a lively crowd. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be able to keep you safe."

Forming a friendly unit didn’t affect Wen Xishu much. His Hypnosis wasn’t restricted by whether someone was ally or enemy.

But for Liu Jianxin, it was a different story.

Earlier Liu Jianxin had clearly said that Human Pause doesn’t affect friendly units.

Of course, another key point of a friendly unit is this—friendly units can’t guess each other’s abilities.

Even though Wen Xishu already knew that someone in the group of five had a Superpower that could simplify rituals, and another woman had a powerful visual ability—

once they formed a friendly unit, even if he guessed right, it wouldn’t have any elimination effect on allies.

Soon, Wen Xishu and the group of five formed a friendly unit.

Everyone introduced themselves.

"My name is Wen Xishu, and this is my friend, Liu Jianxin."

The leader of the five, the captain, was that man in his forties:

"My name is Lei Gang."

There was also a teenage boy in the team, only eighteen:

"I’m Chen Youwei."

A man whose voice sounded about thirty, with a slightly hoarse tone:

"I’m Deng Feng. Just call me A-Feng."

And another one who also sounded around thirty, but whose voice simply sounded fat, like the kind of guy whose fat squeezed his vocal cords:

"Heh, name’s Wu Xiaorong."

Lastly came that girl who should be very young:

"I’m Gu Yu."

All of them had Longxia names. No surprise, given this was within Longxia’s borders.

Wen Xishu said:

"I won’t hold it against you for trying to guess me. I get it—you’re hungry for points, and suddenly running into strangers in this place they call the Dark Forest, your first instinct being to eliminate the other side is perfectly normal."

These words were spoken with serious breadth of mind. Liu Jianxin believed them; so Brother Wen had already become that kind of master who repays resentment with virtue.

You have to understand, when he got the notification that the other side had tried to guess his ability, he really wanted to cut them all down with a single sword.

If he weren’t uncertain whether elimination meant Death, he really would have drawn his blade.

Liu Jianxin was no benevolent hero; he was the kind of bold hero who always repays a grudge, all about that sword-heart clarity and an open state of mind.

In that moment, Liu Jianxin felt it—his own realm was worlds apart from Brother Wen’s. So this was the person who’d pulled him out of the Abyss back then.

I really still need to cultivate myself!

He believed it, and the other side believed it too.

"Yeah, yeah, we’re not bad people either. Once you’re here, as long as you’re not in a friendly unit, then you’re all enemies," Wu Xiaorong said.

"That’s right, we’re allies now, so let’s not hurt each other," Deng Feng added.
