Chapter 271 Explanation
Everyone in the Underground Palace Trial received these two messages. Some glanced at them, unconcerned. Who made the top three or top ten didn't matter to them; they only cared about gaining more points and gold.
However, some people, including Xuanyuan Xingyu and Duanmu Ci, guessed that Tuoba Li, who was originally ranked third, had an accident and withdrew from the trial competition for some reason. Later, after confirmation, it was discovered that Tuoba Li was not returning to the city, but had died!
Everyone was very shocked!
Although the monster leader on the second level of the sponsored map is very powerful, it is a bit strange that Tuoba Li died with his skills and strength.
Of course there is another possibility, Tuoba Li was killed by a monk!
Could it be done by Wenren Muyue who is ranked first and Brook who is ranked second?
One is a direct descendant of the Wenren family. Although he has fallen on hard times, he is still a descendant of a noble family and his strength is extraordinary. The other is an unheard-of and mysterious new master.
Since they were able to take the top two spots in the Demon Sealing Parkour, it has already proven their strength.
If these two people join forces, they might be able to kill Tuoba Li.
Many people have pointed the finger of suspicion at Wenren Muyue and Brook.
Of course, these people did not include Tuoba Zhuiying, because he knew the details of Wenren Muyue and Brook.
A level 68 mage and a level 50 Taoist priest are simply impossible.
Something special must have happened, perhaps it was related to these two people, he had to find out.
Tuoba Zhuiying entered the third floor of the patronage. There were no monsters around; they had just been cleared. Following the direction of the monster's corpse, he soon spotted Wenren Muyue and Brook clearing monsters.
Wenren Muyue and the others also saw Tuoba Zhuiying and immediately stopped killing monsters, looking vigilantly at Tuoba Zhuiying who was slowly approaching.
Two consecutive spiritual revelations fell on Wenren Muyue and Brook.
Wenren Muyue, 1552 health points.
Brook, 1186 health points.
The level was correct. This Brook was indeed just over level 50; as for his health, he must have reached level 2 of Soul Resonance.
"Where is my young master?" Tuoba Zhuiying asked straight to the point.
"Your young master? Tuoba Li?" Wenren Muyue asked.
"Where is he?" Tuoba Zhuiying asked.
"How should I know? Shouldn't you ask yourselves?"
"You do not know?"
"Nonsense! This guy knocked us away and snatched away our Ice Palace Guardian who only had 3% of his health left. Should I care where he went?" Wenren Muyue said angrily.
"Miss Mu Yue, calm down!" Brooke counseled, then turned to Tuoba Zhuiying and said, "My friend, you should have received the news. Your young master Tuoba Li withdrew from the underground palace trial for some reason. I guess he has returned to the city."
"He was probably beaten back to the city by the Ice Palace's guardian god. He deserved it!" Wenren Muyue sneered.
"It's also possible that he got some really good equipment and was so excited that he went straight back to the city and even forgot about the dungeon trial," said Brook.
The two of them sang in unison, and with just two simple sentences, they made the matter clear.
"You said our young master stole your Ice Palace Guardian? Where is it?"
"You stole our Ice Palace's guardian deity, and you still have so many questions? Go ask Tuoba Li yourself!" Wenren Muyue looked like she was still angry.
"Young Master Tuoba Li is dead! I'm here to ask questions on behalf of the Tuoba family. I hope you can answer my questions seriously." Tuoba Zhuiying said coldly.
"What! Dead?"
Wenren Muyue and Brook looked shocked.
"Brother Tuoba Zhuiying, let me answer your question. We were blocking the way in the lower right corner of the map, attacking the Ice Palace Guardian. When it only had 3% of its health left, your young master came over. I suggested cooperation, but he refused and insisted on killing us. The two of us were no match for him. He led the Ice Palace Guardian all the way to the upper right corner, and then to the three-way intersection in the upper left corner. After running for two blocks, he was finally caught up by your young master and defeated. We don't know what happened after that."
Brooke explained obediently, then added, "Your young master's death has nothing to do with us! He was the one who hunted us from the beginning to the end. We were no match for him and didn't dare to fight back."
Tuoba Zhuiying thought for a moment and then asked, "You were knocked away, and didn't you go back to check?"
"It took the two of us several minutes to regroup here. We are now on our way to kill the Red Devil Spider. How could we dare to go back to look for the Ice Palace Guardian?"
After hearing this, Tuoba Zhuiying stopped asking questions and ran towards the upper left.
Wenren Muyue and Brook looked at each other and followed.
Soon, Tuoba Zhuiying arrived at a three-way intersection. After looking in several directions, he naturally turned into a narrow passage on the left and immediately saw the Ice Palace Guardian in the corner. The passage was filled with many small monsters and elite monsters, as well as items and Tuoba Li's body.
Tuoba Zhuiying stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and imagined a picture: Tuoba Li saw the Ice Palace Guardian with low health, and was overjoyed, so he wanted to use his skilled movement skills and assassination tactics to kill the Ice Palace Guardian, but was killed in return.
But why didn't I even have time to use the random and city recall options? What's the trick here?
Tuoba Zhuiying observed carefully but found nothing unusual.
It was probably related to the monsters inside. The monsters that suddenly appeared blocked the young master's steps. The young master made a mistake and finally did not have time to use random and return to the city.
Perhaps, this is the only explanation.
"The Guardian of the Ice Palace is still here!" Wenren Muyue and Brook, who had followed, saw the leader in the corner. They didn't care about Tuoba Li lying on the ground at all, and immediately attacked the Guardian of the Ice Palace with poison and lightning.
The Ice Palace Guardian squeezed out from the monsters and was led out by Brook and the others. The two were obviously worried about Tuoba Zhuiying, afraid that he would steal the monsters, so they led the Ice Palace Guardian away all the way, and finally no one knew where it went.
Tuoba Zhuiying had no intention of snatching monsters right now. He walked over to clean up Tuoba Li's body, picked up the items on the ground, including the team call-up order, and then walked out of the passage.
Tuoba Zhuying looked at the direction where Wenren Muyue and Brook disappeared, and did not chase after them.
He could use the Tuoba family's reputation to make the two answer a few questions, but it was impossible for them to give up the ownership of the Ice Palace Guardian.
If you want ownership, you have to fight for it. You have to grab it. He can defeat either Wenren Muyue or Brook alone, but it is difficult to defeat both of them at the same time. Moreover, those two are obviously guarding against him, so he has no confidence.
After all, he was just a Taoist priest. Taoist priests were supposed to be supportive, not good at single-handedly fighting multiple enemies. Although he knew the Taoist group attack skill Hurricane Break, the damage was low and could only be used to kill small monsters. It didn't hurt people at all.
If a Taoist wants to fight multiple enemies alone, unless his strength is one reincarnation realm higher than the opponent, or his equipment and level can crush the opponent, otherwise, he can only poison, throw talismans, and fight guerrilla warfare, pure harassment, which cannot kill the opponent and only disgusts the opponent.
Tuoba Zhuiying didn't have the time for that. He was a smart man, and there was no need to humiliate himself.
He came in to track down Tuoba Li's whereabouts, and now there is a result and an explanation. His goal has been achieved.
Tuoba Zhuiying turned and ran towards the second floor. His teammates were still waiting for him.
