The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 229 - 179: Su Buxian Leads the Sniping Against Su Buxian!

Ethan Dawn's body was slightly stiff as he stared at the seven characters.

His voice trembled a bit as he said, "Brother Yang, tell me, what are you doing carving these words for?"

"Practicing calligraphy."

"...."

What a load of crap calligraphy!

Ethan Dawn pursed his lips, forcing a dry laugh. "Then I guess, and it's just a guess, it won't matter if I'm wrong... after all, it's only a guess."

"Brother Yang, you..."

"Are Su Buxian... right...?"

He was no fool!

Considering the map coordinates had not changed at all and were nearly overlapping with his own dot... any bullshit coincidence or stroke of luck was nonsense because the real Su Buxian was right in front of him!

But the multitude of unbelievable emotions still made him unable to confirm completely, so he asked aloud, hoping for a direct answer from Su Qi.

"?"

Su Qi: "Didn't I tell you? I'm a sunny and cheerful big boy."

"Sunny and cheerful my ass!"

Ethan Dawn suddenly stepped back, roaring angrily:

"You're bloody Su Buxian!"

Su Qi looked at Ethan Dawn, who was unconsciously posing defensively, looking back at him hurriedly and in a panic.

Good grief.

The twelfth generation successor of the Wild Chicken Sect?

"Big doofus Ethan, what are you planning to do..." Su Qi said calmly, "I never told a lie."

"Don't give me that! The coordinates haven't changed and the calligraphy you're carving is exactly like the one on that painting!"

"Now all the evidence is laid out in plain sight!"

Ethan Dawn clenched his teeth. "And you still say you're not Su Buxian!!!"

Su Qi turned around, carving knife in hand that wasn't pausing, still preparing to finish up:

"When did I ever say I wasn't..."

"You....."

Ethan Dawn was stunned, realizing he indeed never had.

"Good, finally finished."

In the dim cave,

Su Qi looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Although he had used a carving knife, the calligraphy did not lack any of the usual attention to detail, and compared to the script on the scroll, it had more dimension and boldness.

"How is it, does it have some charm?"

"With a smiling face to go with it, the strong atmosphere of postmodern art was practically assaulting the senses."

"..."

Ethan Dawn could no longer contain himself and roared again: "At this point in time, you're still carving!"

"Do you know the map is lighting up with a swarm of dots all heading this way?"

"The lure of a billion points is enough to make countless people eliminate you!"

"Ordinary people would be frantically running away by now!"

Su Qi responded breezily, "I'm not worried, so why are you? If I had run away earlier, they wouldn't be able to find me, would they?"

???

Wait a second, why can't I sense any logic in that statement?

Ethan Dawn took a deep breath; his emotions were complex, just like the time he found additional questions on the back of an exam paper after the starting bell rang.

And it was painful... like promising to sing with colleagues at the annual party, everyone claiming they are tone-deaf and can't sing, and then someone belts out a high note on stage.

Ethan Dawn sighed:

"You... go now, I'll give out false information or stall for you for a while."

"? Is that touching?"

"Bullshit, what kind of person do you think I am? I'm all about loyalty; when I said Brother Yang, that meant for a lifetime..... ugh..."

Ethan Dawn clenched his teeth: "Damn, this is too disgusting, I can't make this up any longer!"

He grumbled:

"Get lost while I can still resist the temptation!"

"Otherwise, I'll just hog all these points for myself!"

Ethan Dawn truly coveted those points. He couldn't help but fret, "Damn it, even if I hog them, I won't be able to escape!"

"Unless it's owned jointly by the players of those top clubs, it's impossible for one to survive an onslaught of this scale!"

Su Qi tossed the carving knife back into his Item Slot, you could never know how much of a hodgepodge he had in there.

"You're wrong in what you say; I'm not fighting alone."

Ethan Dawn's expression hardened, "So you do have an organization backing you!"

Ever since learning of Su Qi's true identity, he had suspected that there was an organization behind him, otherwise, he wouldn't have remained here so calmly.

There were probably allies buried in hiding nearby, ready to extricate him.

"Of course," Su Qi said. "I'm a key member of the Justice League, didn't you and your boss say you would protect me?"

"????"

Damn it, the backing organization was myself!

Ethan Dawn almost cursed out loud: "Protect my ass, we promised to protect you because we thought you were an ordinary player getting so many points for the first time."

"Not eliminating you now already shows I'm being friendly!"

"Besides... now's not the time to talk about this!"

Ethan Dawn looked at the indicators on the map, already sweating a bit: "Most are almost here, and they're getting closer, even our boss is about two kilometers away."

After all, to support each other, share information, players of the Justice League were not too far from each other.

Su Qi glanced at the converging dots on the map: "Having so many groups of light, this is the first time I've felt like Ultraman."

"Stop with the joke."

Ethan Dawn pressed his forehead, "Do you think they're all here to support you? They're all enemies!"

"It's not a big deal." Su Qi began to walk toward the cave entrance, "Haven't you noticed something special about this place?"

"?"

Ethan Dawn walked alongside Su Qi.

Because they needed to be situated higher up, to have a better vantage point and the advantage of information, their hiding spot was above a cliff.

"What's so special about here?"

"This is the edge of the Final Home's safety defense line, which means that beyond the east side of the cliff ridge lies the dangerous area where the Pollution is intensifying."

Over two years of development, Tentacle Man's established Final Home had actually already figured out the danger levels of the surrounding areas, and all the strongholds were built to the west, never nearing this place.

In these few days, players had been courageously clearing out the Pollution Monsters, reducing their numbers by a large swath, but after all, these were disorganized monsters, heavy on quantity over quality.

"What are you going to do!"

Ethan Dawn was taken aback, "Don't tell me you plan to escape into there?"

His eyes lit up slightly, "That appears to be a good idea indeed."

"Indeed."

Su Qi nodded, "In many novels, when the protagonist is pursued by a powerful enemy, they would often chance upon some forbidden area where stepping in means certain death, and the enemy would not dare to enter and would give up the pursuit, then they would sneer, 'Looks like this guy is as good as dead, let's return and report.'"

Ethan Dawn: "...."

"But often at this point, not only does the protagonist not die upon stepping in, according to data statistics, there is a 32.2% chance they would encounter an unparalleled treasure, 22.1% chance to meet a Grandpa, 45.7% chance to bump into a Holy Daughter afflicted with seductive poison, and then the Dragon King returns."

Ethan Dawn, with a dark face, "You read too many novels! That's the so-called protagonist's halo, do you think that's possible!"

Forget about everything else, just this area... it's risky, but it's not forbidden by any means, players would definitely step in, and even if Su Buxian escapes and plays dead...

Wait a minute.

Could he play dead?

Exposure every hour!

The players would just focus on him!

"Definitely not possible."

Su Qi calmly said, "I also think it's nonsense."

"After all, in this polluted world, all you will find is a Holy Daughter with syphilis."

"..."

Ethan Dawn suddenly became alert and looked towards the map, "Ten minutes are almost up."

"But..."

He glanced towards the distance with his eyelids twitching lightly, "The other players, they're also down there."

"It's about time, we should get ready."

"Huh?" Ethan Dawn was baffled, "Ready for what?"

"Of course, it's time for us to jump down from here."

"Jump down? This place is freaking hundreds of meters high, wait, who's 'us' you're talking about?"

Ethan Dawn looked at Su Qi's faint smile, and his scalp went numb. The next moment...

He was grabbed by the shoulders and his eyes widened in horror.

Yanked down the cliff!

And the players who had arrived below, including Penelope Bloom and Justice Chief, raised their brows as they looked up.

"Such a high cliff, seems like that Su Buxian is right above us!"

"Wait, look, the points on the map finally moved!"

"They're heading towards the cliff's east side!"

"Chase them!"

The players, adrenaline-pumped, excitedly rushed forward!

And behind them, the fog gradually revealed the figures of top players, who looked towards the cliff with composed expressions.

"That guy... couldn't possibly think he could escape by entering a dangerous area, could he?"

"However, staying in place, only moving when everyone almost arrives, seems like he's signaling to us his movement path."

Tattoed Youth from Hidden Blade smirked:

"Like the traces he left in that trial, he likes to take risks, but the area he chose is very good; seems he's well-prepared."

And at that time.

Sounds and movements came from above.

"There's something here!"

"There are writings!"

After a few seconds.

Penelope Bloom and the others looked at the prominent smiley face and writings on the wall in silence.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The writing is pretty good..."

Others glanced with slightly flickering eyes, dangerous looks set on the player.

"Let's pretend I didn't say that..."

The Ghost-faced Magician indifferently stared at the writing:

"The prey... seems to enjoy playing games."

Tattooed Youth calmly said, "All I know is that it's someone... who really likes to provoke."

"Facing so many of us, yet still dares to provoke." The woman in a trench coat beamed with a smile, "This Su Buxian is interesting; sister here, is starting to get intrigued."

They almost didn't pause, decisively moving straight towards the dangerous area without hesitation.

The ordinary players avoided the brunt of their approach but also crossed the ridge, heading towards the east side area.

Penelope Bloom looked at everything in front of her, her brows slightly raised.

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't see those two... they should be not far from us."

Justice Chief looked around and shook his head, "Although not everyone has arrived, let's all set off immediately..."

And at that moment.

"Wait a second!"

The figures of Su Qi and Ethan Dawn appeared in their sight.

Su Qi took a few heavy breaths, "Sorry, we just ran into a Pollution Monster, that's why we are late."

Penelope Bloom glanced at the two, her gaze settling on the somewhat pale Ethan Dawn, "It doesn't matter, as long as you're not injured, but you look a bit pale, have you overused your powers? Do you need some Physical Strength Potions?"

Ethan Dawn: "..."

He stiffly and unnaturally said, "No need, boss."

"That's fine then." Penelope Bloom nodded, "Now, Su Buxian has already entered the dangerous area, we should immediately follow."

"Leave the fighting to us, leave the probing and strategy to you two."

Ethan Dawn's investigation ability was not the best, but it was still among the top.

And Su Qi, in the Justice League, also had a bit of reputation, and had displayed amazing talents in the previous intense battle with the Old Monster.

"Then I won't be polite." Su Qi frankly smiled, "All eyes on me!"

"Let's set off immediately!"

"I'll lead you in the pursuit of Su Buxian!"

"Alright!!"

Ethan Dawn: "...."

Sometimes, being too perceptive isn't a good thing.
