PFC Chapter 890: Tit for tat
Chapter 890: Tit for tat
"Are they so angry that they want to fight to the death? Let's just play along."
Chen Futu was not surprised by Bing Feier's statement; he would personally accompany her to tomorrow's battle from the shadows.
Upon hearing this, Bingfeier revealed a hint of joy.
She knew very well that the real battle depended on the superstructure. As long as the Grand Leader was in charge and the enemy's high-level combat power was dealt with, everything else would be fine.
After Bing Fei'er left, Chen Futu summoned Jue Chen alone.
The latter seemed somewhat uneasy. They had not been summoned individually by the Great Chief when they arrived, but now that a great battle was imminent, the Great Chief had suddenly sent word that he wanted them to participate as well.
Thinking of this, Juechen's expression became inscrutable.
Chen Futu took in his reaction and said half-jokingly, "What's wrong? Something on your mind?"
"Chief, our team's strength is limited, I'm afraid..."
Juechen wanted to say that he couldn't help, but he was afraid of angering Chen Futu, so he didn't dare to say it outright.
"What does the Ghost Hunting Team think of life in Chaotic Realm Mountain?"
Chen Futu's words left Jue Chen speechless for a while before he finally replied, "The wealth of Luanjie Mountain is beyond imagination. Even among the major powers in the East and West Cities, no one dares to say that they are more prosperous than Luanjie Mountain in this respect."
"So this is an opportunity for the spirit-hunting team. I hope you will participate in tomorrow's battle. If you perform well enough, I will give you a special reward."
Hearing this, even though Juechen had guessed beforehand, he was at a loss for words.
"No need to rush to answer me. Just give me an answer before you leave tomorrow. Of course, I won't force you."
After saying this, Chen Futu waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Juechen returned to his residence with a frown. Jueyao and the team members immediately came up to him and asked him all at once what the leader wanted to see him for.
They were fascinated by everything about the Great Chieftain; they were now incredibly curious.
Juechen sighed, not hiding the key details. After explaining the whole story, the team members collectively went into a state of utter confusion.
"Captain, do we really want to participate?"
"That was against the Fire Cloud team. Although the Chaotic Realm Mountain team was also very strong, they were at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers."
"Yeah, Captain, we'd better not get involved in this mess."
The team members' mindset was ultimately different from that of the members from Luanjie Mountain; they had a deep-seated fear of powerful forces.
After pondering for a moment, Jueyao said, "Brother, I don't think Luanjie Mountain will lose. This force is too mysterious. The chief probably called us here to test us. If we bet right, we'll rise to prominence in no time."
"Little sister, aren't you the one who's most opposed to joining other factions?"
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Chaotic Realm Mountain is different from other forces. I think the people here are all quite nice. And if we can really deal with the Fire Cloud team, do you think the Great Leader would treat us unfairly?"
Jueyao's attitude was very clear. The biggest difference between Luanjie Mountain and other forces was that it had abundant resources. The Spirit Exploration Team did not join other forces before because they were worried that they would have to risk their lives for others when they didn't have enough resources. Luanjie Mountain was different. It entertained them with rare and hard-to-find resources. From this point of view alone, it was something that other forces could not compare to.
Seeing that she had said that, Juechen took a deep breath and asked the other team members.
The group exchanged glances, steeled their resolve, and declared, "We'll follow the captain's decision!"
"Alright, tomorrow morning, we'll go to Luanjie Mountain. If we succeed, we'll live the high life; if we fail, we'll all die together. We've already been wandering for so long, one more hurdle won't make a difference."
Juechen made his decision, and Chen Futu, who had been watching closely, smiled with satisfaction.
The following morning, three heavy trucks set off in a grand procession, followed by the ghost-hunting team, all of whom were armed.
As for Chen Futu, he did not appear. Instead, he and Qin Xiaoman and Jiang Rumeng used teleportation to follow him slowly in the shadows.
Jiang Rumeng clung tightly to Chen Futu's arm, her eyes sparkling. "Brother Chen, this is amazing!"
The feeling of teleporting was wonderful, almost miraculous. Moreover, Chen Futu was circulating Yin energy, so the two women felt cool and comfortable around him, as if they were leaning against a high-powered air conditioner.
Before long, three heavy trucks arrived at the mining area.
Energy minerals are special crystals that arise from changes in the world's will. Their location is uncertain, and they contain enormous amounts of energy, much like the oil on Earth. They have many functions and are essentially an energy source unique to this world.
Ge Fei, Hong Lu, Bing Fei'er, Lu Lu'er, and Jue Chen each got off the vehicle with their respective teams.
With a whoosh, countless powerful members of the Fire Cloud Team leaped out of the ruins, surrounding the entire Chaotic Realm Mountain Team.
As mentioned in the information, the Huoyun team mobilized nearly a thousand people this time. The leaders were the Huoyunzi brothers, both of whom were sixth-level experts. There were seven or eight fifth-level experts, and the rest were second or third-level experts.
Of course, there were also other teams secretly broadcasting the battle live from afar.
Without hesitation, Chen Futu shut down their live stream, kicked them out of the regional channel, and permanently blacklisted them.
"Holy crap, what's going on? It's blocked again!"
"It seems that this mysterious team is indeed related to the channel. The Fire Cloud team has really messed up."
"It's a pity we can't witness this great battle in person. Who do you think won and who lost in the end?"
"The betting has started, everyone hurry up and place your bets."
The regional channel was noisy, but the atmosphere at the mining site was tense.
"Who exactly are you people!" Huo Yunzi spoke first, his anger flaring.
Ge Fei sneered, "You're not qualified to know who we are. But you're the ones who come to seize our energy at the slightest disagreement. Do you really think we're afraid?"
"You bitch, how dare you talk to me like that! When you fall into my hands, I'll teach you a lesson!"
The team in front of them was mostly women, and the strongest one was a sixth-tier woman in black. Huo Yunzi didn't believe that the two brothers couldn't defeat one person.
With no room for further conversation, the two men stared at each other and simultaneously gave the order, "Kill!"
In this situation, there's no point in using tricks or schemes; it's all about who has the bigger fist.
All that could be seen were the five squad leaders leading their respective teams as they charged forward.
The two sides clashed fiercely upon first meeting, with various turbulent energy flows colliding, creating a spectacular scene.
Neither side has entered the arena at level six.
Chen Futu had been observing Bing Feier and was witnessing her abilities for the first time. She could actually release frost armor on her teammates and activate the frost effect, instantly creating an ice-sealing impact on the enemy, which had considerable restrictive power.
"Defense and support? Very strong."
After observing carefully for a long time, Chen Futu gave Bingfei'er an evaluation.
Her support and defense abilities are absolutely top-notch, especially as a team support. With her ice armor protecting them, the team members have fewer worries when attacking. In addition, the ice seal makes the enemy's front line almost a sitting duck, and they are crushed in an instant.
