“This… you can have it.” After Feng Bujue finished reading the skill card's attributes, he turned to Ou Bu and said, “None of us need medical skills.”

“Yeah, you're the only one in the team who's professionally suited.” Xiao Tan also said.

“Professionally suited…” Ou Bu repeated these four words, then complained, “Uh… it sounds like I'm a student of excavator maintenance…”

As soon as he heard a chance to make a joke, Feng Bujue perked up, and he immediately responded, “Then the question becomes…”

“I'd like to see who dares to ask.” Ruo Yu's words, cold as the chilling wind, followed closely behind.

Sure enough… as the female warrior’s words landed, no one dared to continue Jue-ge’s train of thought.

“Sigh… never mind I said anything…” Feng Bujue shrugged, “Ou Bu, keep the skill card safe, we're getting ready to go.” With that, he turned and walked towards the door that had already been opened, leading to the river.

Outside the metal door was the river water, with no embankments or steps for buffering. Fortunately, the river was not turbulent, and the water surface was about half a meter lower than the threshold, so the river water would not flood the house, at most splashing a few drops inside.

On the other side of the river, three meters away… was a stone wall, winding and stretching, as if boundless. The height of the stone wall was unknown, but it was at least thirty meters high, and higher up… because there was no light, it was dark and impossible to see clearly.

If you poked your head out of the door and looked left and right, the players would find… that this side of the river was no different from the other side, except that a metal door was embedded in one section of the stone wall.

[Main Quest Triggered] The system prompt came the moment Jue-ge stuck his head out the door.

Open the quest bar, and you can see the new main quest: [Go with the flow, find and open the pirate's treasure.]

“Jue-laoshi… this isn't going to make us swim over there, is it?” Bu Ou stood on tiptoe and looked at the scene outside the door, asking Jue-ge a very realistic question.

“What if it is?” Feng Bujue replied, “It's just swimming, not being thrown into a boiling pot of oil. Besides… we don't have to swim.” He pointed to the opposite wall, “Everyone is level forty-something… relying on the two walls that are three meters apart and perpendicular to the ground, we can completely move by bouncing back and forth.”

“That's right, it's easy.” Ruo Yu immediately stated that moving in this way… was not stressful.

“I can do it to this extent too.” Xiao Ling also said.

“I don't care… as long as the speed is not less than ten kilometers per hour, I can walk directly on the wall.” Xiao Tan's title [Wind Rider Nightmare] has not changed, so his title ability [Nightmare's Mark] still exists, “Um… but, the places I walk will leave black fire footprints, so it's best not to walk on the same level as me, lest you get burned or something.”

“As for me…” Feng Bujue put his hands behind his head and looked at his teammates with a relaxed expression, “I can walk or stand on the water at will, without any pressure.”

“Well… Hell's Frontline… sure enough, everyone has unique skills…” Ou Bu's weak voice revealed deep admiration, “I will try my best to keep up with everyone.”

“I… I will also try to catch up with everyone…” Beads of sweat rolled down Bu Ou's round face, “By swimming…”

“I say, Bu Ou… you should be able to float on the water, right…” Feng Bujue complained with a pensive expression.

“Eh? Jue-laoshi, how did you know?” Bu Ou asked in surprise.

“Huh?” Jue-ge just wanted to complain about the other party's physique, but he didn't expect it to be true, “You really can?”

“Yes.” Bu Ou replied, “I have a skill that allows me to change my weight by adjusting the amount of hydrogen in my body.”

“No way…” The corners of Feng Bujue's mouth twitched.

Bu Ou continued, “When necessary, I can float like a balloon or float on the water…”

“Then… are you planning to lie on the river and follow us with a turtle-style swimming method?” Feng Bujue asked.

“Yes… that's right.” Bu Ou nodded, “Don't worry, Jue-laoshi, I've tried it in other scripts… with the current, this kind of swimming is not slow.”

“Okay…” Feng Bujue replied awkwardly, then turned around and was the first to walk out of the metal door.

With the help of the legendary shoes [Treading Void], Jue-ge can be said to be more than capable. He calmly stood on the river and waited for his teammates to come out.

Bu Ou was the second to come out, and he just lay down in the river face down…

With a "splash" sound… he really floated up…

Two seconds later, Bu Ou, who had stabilized his body, looked up, gently moved his limbs, and drifted forward along the river in a posture similar to paddling on a surfboard.

“Jue-laoshi, I'll go one step ahead~” When Bu Ou “drifted” past Feng Bujue, he did not forget to look up and say hello to his idol.

“Okay… we'll catch up soon.” When Feng Bujue replied, he had a strange sense of crossing over. For a moment, he felt like a character in a fairy tale, such as a pelican, and Bu Ou was a turtle passing by him…

“We're setting off too.” Ruo Yu's words pulled Jue-ge back from his trance.

While speaking, she had suddenly jumped out of the threshold and came to the stone wall opposite. Her toes only lightly touched the wall, and her figure darted out like a swift flying swallow. In just a few back and forth… she had already caught up with Bu Ou in front… it can be said that she was as swift as a flying duck, and her steps were as light as waves.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling, Xiao Tan, and Ou Bu also jumped out of the metal door one after another and began to walk on the wall…

“Hmph… there must be some conspiracy in this river-walking mission…” Seeing that his companions had all set off, Feng Bujue slowly began to move, chasing after them at a jogging pace after dinner, “Anyway, I'm the last one, I want to see… what tricks ‘you’ can play.”

…………

At the same moment, in the Reasoning Club.

“You better not bother me, I have a headache…” Zhuan Jiezun (who had transformed into an owl at this time) stood on top of a bookshelf, with a constipated expression on his face, and said to the “pig-headed man” in front of him.

“I'm just here to deliver something. If you accept it, I will naturally leave.” Auinker looked up at Zun-ge and said.

“When did you become a postman?” Zhuan Jiezun replied.

“Hmph…” Auinker sneered, “It seems to have started from the time I ‘delivered a weapon to Feng Bujue’…”

“Blame me?” Zhuan Jiezun muttered.

“Of course.” Auinker replied, “I used to be a butcher, a chef, a killer, a manager… and now I'm a delivery guy.”

“If you don't like it, you don't have to do it.” Zhuan Jiezun continued.

“Easy to say…” Auinker snorted coldly, “Could it be that I can stand in front of the Lord of All Demons, look into his eyes and say, ‘I don't want to do it, find someone else’? Ha! If I said that… guess what he would do next?” He paused, “Oh… no, he can't wait for a second, by the time I say the words ‘you’ or ‘find’, he would have already made his move.” He shook his head and said, “He will tear open my stomach, tear off every piece of meat there, and then take it and put it with Medusa's hair and stew it into a pot of pork stew with vermicelli… yes, that's what he would do.”

“Okay, okay… I understand.” Zhuan Jiezun said, “What is it? Bring it here quickly.”

“Wait a minute.” Auinker said, then turned sideways, picked up a kitchen knife from his waist, and tore open a spatial rift (he is one of the very few NPCs with the ability to traverse space indiscriminately, similar to Bugs Bunny), “Ugh… damn… I bet this thing weighs at least a ton…” While complaining, he dragged a huge box out of the rift.

“What's in the box?” Zhuan Jiezun asked.

“Can't you see it?” Auinker asked back.

“If I could see it, why would I ask you…” Zhuan Jiezun said, “Didn't I say, I have a headache…” He raised one of his wings and touched his head, “Something is haunting me in my head, having a very bad influence on me… I can't see the ‘Sequence of Truth’ for the time being.”

“Oh…” Auinker's expression relaxed, “No wonder your tone of voice is a little abnormal, I thought you were a fake.”

“Alright… hurry up and tell me, what exactly is in the box?” Zhuan Jiezun said, “When your business here is over, I have other things to do.” For Zun-ge at this moment, assisting Feng Bujue in driving away the uninvited guest in his brain was the top priority.

“Oh.” Auinker said, “This is what the Lord of All Demons specially asked me to bring to you…” His expression suddenly became solemn, “\*\*\*-762…”

…………

Item Number: \*\*\*-762

Item Class: Safe

Description: \*\*\*-762 is a torture device similar to the infamous Iron Maiden of Nuremberg. It was recovered in 19[DATA DELETED] in a box in the basement of the [DATA DELETED] of [DATA DELETED] in Austria.

Any person placed inside \*\*\*-762 will enter a state of suspended animation. Test subjects no longer require food, water, or even air while inside \*\*\*-762. At the same time, test subjects inside \*\*\*-762 appear to be immune to the effects of disease and injury, including the massive wounds caused by \*\*\*-762 itself. Nevertheless, test subjects remain conscious and describe their experience as very painful.

Once a test subject is removed from inside \*\*\*-762, all injuries caused by the device will immediately heal. Because all physiological functions other than consciousness are suspended while inside \*\*\*-762, people placed inside it do not appear to age.

“Huh?” At this moment, Zhuan Jiezun's appearance changed, he turned into a two-liter bottle of cola, it seemed… he wanted to use this to cover up his next reaction (mainly facial expressions), “What does this mean? Could there be someone else inside?”

“No, it's empty.” Auinker replied, “The Lord of All Demons said that you will use this soon; and he also said… after you use it, remember to return it to him…” At this point, Auinker seemed to realize something, “Wait… you just said that there's a ‘thing’ haunting your brain?”

“Alright, you don't need to ask any further…” Zhuan Jiezun turned his bottle body and replied, “I already know what the Lord of All Demons means.” He paused for two seconds, bubbling, “I also already know who sneaked into my brain…”

…………

Now, let's turn the story around and look at Jue-ge and his team.

The six players traveled along the river for about ten minutes, and the scenery in front of them had not changed.

What they saw was always… the golden river, the treasure-filled riverbed, the boundless stone walls, and the distant and deep darkness above their heads.

After this period of time, the distance between the players had widened. This was also inevitable… because, except for Feng Bujue and Bu Ou, the other four's way of moving made it inconvenient to stop.

Of course, they could stop if they wanted to, just jump into the water. But generally speaking, no one would do this unless they encountered something special.

Thus, the following situation occurred…

Xiao Tan was constantly moving along a wall at a speed of ten kilometers per hour… unknowingly, he came to the front; the second person chasing behind him was Ruo Yu; Xiao Ling ranked third; and the fourth person was Bu Ou, who was drifting along the river…

Ou Bu, who was ranked fifth, was after all a medical specialist, and he was not very strong in physical skills… Although it was just a simple back-and-forth wall jump, it was not easy for him. Compared with Ruo Yu and Xiao Ling, who moved in the same way, Ou Bu was a bit far behind.

As for the last one in the team, it was still Feng Bujue… He still carried out the concept of guarding the rear, consciously "slowly" jogging.

And at this time, Jue-ge had basically guessed… what was about to happen…
