Chapter 890 An Unbreakable Temporary Alliance
Chapter 890 An Unbreakable Temporary Alliance
Feeling dazed and confused, Fu Luo surfaced.
He also didn't know whether it was because the aura of [Endless Madness] was too terrifying and the other party was too knowledgeable, which led to him scaring off the "diving merchant" directly, or whether the other party had some other plan.
Anyway...
Looking at the starfish that were no longer moving and lying limply like corpses, Fu Luo confirmed...
That guy must have really escaped!
"Is this thing really that intimidating? Or is the other party actually very cautious?"
That's true... After all, according to the Professor's records, this guy is actually very cautious - he would wait for several [Instances] after "marking" a player before taking action.
Therefore, it is not impossible that this diving businessman was scared away by himself!
After all, after eliminating all options, the remaining option, no matter how unlikely it is, must be the truth - this is the creed that Fu Luo, as a "famous detective", has always believed in.
Of course, the "truth" this time is not so much impossible as it is "wrong."
"It's impossible that the diving merchant finally returned through the portal because he had already entered the sixth island and ran into Old Yao, who is now hiding somewhere on the island. The two of them reached a deal, and then he took the initiative to retreat."
Fu Luo thought to himself with self-mockery.
How is this possible? Although he doesn't look down on Lao Yao...how could Lao Yao not have such ability!
Admittedly, Lao Yao seemed to have strong social skills, but that guy didn't seem to be a man of such courage and boldness, nor was he qualified to confront the "lurking businessman".
It would be possible if the person who came this time was not Lao Yao, but Lao Yao and his other good brother "May May"!
Of course—his brother’s girlfriend seemed to have this ability as well.
Fu Luo was lost in thought, and finally shook his head slightly.
"I was really too nervous just now and overused my brain. My thoughts started to race."
He cleared his mind of thoughts, looked at the players on the ice floe, put away [Endless Madness], and raised his right hand.
"nailed it!"
No matter what...it seems that my image as a master has been maintained inexplicably this time?
When Fu Luo raised his arms and cheered, the other players standing on the water were indeed full of admiration for Fu Luo.
"Thanks so much to Master Forbolo," the King Vulture said, caressing the white snake on his body, which seemed to have run out of energy and fallen into hibernation. "We've finally gotten rid of these annoying starfish!"
"That's right. To be able to see that all this was man-made, to pinpoint the mastermind behind it, and to resolve it instantly, is truly remarkable," Katie added quickly. "I really don't know what kind of sophisticated method it was—I don't even understand what happened!"
Hearing Katie's praise, Fu Luo smiled guiltily: "I just forced him to retreat."
He actually couldn't explain what had happened, after all, his original plan had not yet been implemented.
but……
Fu Luo didn't know that the image of himself as a master he felt was just an illusion.
At least from the perspective of a certain player on the field...
"This Forboluo is truly unfathomable and much stronger than I imagined!"
Nineteen, who was standing on the ice floe with an umbrella, pretended to be very exhausted and thought secretly in his heart.
The layman watches the excitement, while the expert sees the details.
As the only "Level 3" in this group, even if he used his unique methods to forcibly suppress most of his strength, he was only slightly stronger than Wang Jiu.
But his vision, knowledge and experience will not be suppressed.
It was originally within Nineteen's expectations... Forpolo should be preparing some kind of extremely costly move, or even planning to use some one-time means and trump cards.
After all, Nineteen probably knows what level of existence a "diving merchant" is.
This thing is definitely among the top fifteen or even top ten in terms of individual strength in the entire Kirishima.
In Kirishima, where there is no one truly chosen by God, there are not many people at the same level as him, except for the top few island owners and the operators of the sky airships. What's more, some people at this level may not be better than him.
Although the other party seemed to be very careful about his reputation and unwilling to conflict with others or show his strength, there was no need to truly defeat him...
But just "forcing him to retreat" should not be an easy task.
but……
Nineteen had never expected that Forboluo could force the opponent to retreat with almost no loss.
He keenly caught the terrifying "breath" that flashed by underwater just now.
then……
The other party retreated!
Nineteen could only think of three theoretical possibilities.
The first one was that the method used by Forboluo was even more bizarre and terrifying than he had imagined. Apart from the initial trace of horror, he did not feel anything that happened in the blink of an eye afterwards.
And in that instant, silently, he had already made the diving merchant suffer a great loss and forced him to retreat in disgrace!
This means... Forbolo's methods and trump cards are even more terrifying than he imagined!
Not only is it powerful, but it is also instantaneous and super concealed.
This is also the possibility that makes Nineteen shudder the most.
The second possibility is that Forbolo revealed that breath. Although he did not sense it completely, the diving merchant might be more knowledgeable than him and immediately realized that the trump card Forbolo was going to use was extremely terrifying, so he ran away decisively!
If this is the possibility... then it is not much different from the previous one, both of which are that the strength of Forboluo's trump card is far beyond imagination.
The only difference is that the former is that Forboluo's trump card is activated very quickly, while the latter possibility is that Forboluo's trump card is extremely powerful - so powerful that the opponent can instantly realize that the loss he has endured is completely unacceptable, and may even give up the fight for the "inheritance".
After all, the diving merchant did not drive the submersible to temporarily leave the scene, but entered the portal and gave up all the starfish, which was equivalent to directly announcing that he had given up this competition that he had worked so hard for!
And the third kind...
Nineteen thought that it was possible that this diving merchant actually had some dealings with Forboluo, and the two had reached some kind of agreement either beforehand or just now.
Just now, the diving merchant retreated as soon as Forpolo took out the [prop], which was actually the result of a transaction.
This result sounds like Forboluo's strength is not as terrifying as the first two, but it is actually quite scary when you think about it carefully.
All current mainstream intelligence believes that Fu Luo’s base is in the “Wasteland” and is only concentrated in the City That Never Sleeps.
If he could reach a secret agreement with the "diving businessman," wouldn't that mean he also has connections in Kirishima?!
So, no matter which possibility it is, it all points to one thing...
"This Forboluo cannot be underestimated!"
This is why Nineteen is still standing on the ice floe, maintaining a temporary friendly alliance relationship.
otherwise……
Nineteen had already chosen to turn against them and directly attacked the exhausted Wang Jiu, the injured Katie and Fu Luo in the water on the sea!
