147: Chapter 147 Different Ideas

"Not good, I can't dodge it, so I have to take it head-on." Mu Cheng was also quite surprised, and in his helplessness, he could only choose to defend.

But unfortunately, the Ghost Knight not only had the advantage of height, but each thrust of its spear indeed made it a bit difficult for Mu Cheng to hold on.

But as a man, even if he couldn't hold on, he had to... otherwise, how could he call himself a real man?

However, Mu Cheng had still underestimated the Ghost Knight's intelligence; it had no intention of backing off at all, its silver spear continuously thrusting at him.

Mu Cheng was being beaten back step by step, but fortunately, Yue Chan acted in time, throwing out a very powerful sword qi.

Only then did Mu Cheng manage to escape...

The sword qi was indeed strong, but it was still blocked by the silver spear in the Ghost Knight's hand.

It didn't take any effort at all.

"This guy is so strong; he hasn't even used Bloodline Power, yet he's powerful to such an extent." Mu Cheng was stunned.

Yue Chan was now at the peak of the eighth rank, and this sword qi was already comparable to the power of a four-star ninth rank.

Yet in front of the Ghost Knight, it wasn't worth a damn.

"It is indeed quite strong. Right now, I'm afraid it's impossible to wear it down; we can only look for another way," Yue Chan said.

Wasn't that obvious? It would be strange if a dignified half-step Realm King God could be killed so easily.

Mu Cheng said very calmly, "What I'm worried about is that this guy might possess divine power."

"No matter what, let's attack first!" After saying that, Yue Chan threw out several more sword qi.

Mu Cheng naturally didn't back down either; even though he couldn't hurt the Ghost Knight, he continued to attack incessantly.

This was the only way; if they didn't move, they wouldn't have any chance at all.

On the other side.

Gu Na's group successfully arrived at the Ancient City. Calling it a city... it was more like a field of ruins.

"This is really strange... it's too desolate, isn't it? Weren't there thousands of people and many outsiders? Why haven't we seen a single soul?" Chu Yaoyao said, unable to figure it out.

There were still six hours left before it started. Logically speaking... this Ancient City wasn't that big, so they should have encountered people.

Tao Mumu suddenly asked, "By the way... could it be that we're not in the same space?"

Actually, she had her own reasons; the high-tech bracelet couldn't contact Mu Cheng and Yue Chan, but it could contact others.

Combined with what they were seeing now, if this wasn't... being in a different space, then what was it?

"That would explain it. Remember the outsider we met? He said he'd been here for eight years," Gu Na suddenly recalled and said.

On the outside, the apocalypse had only just arrived a month ago, yet when they met the outsider... he said he had been here for eight years.

Once or twice could be explained away, but a third time... it wasn't that simple.

"No matter what, let's wait until it starts before making any plans," Tao Mumu said slowly.

Gu Na also agreed, saying, "Is there... any better way right now?"

Obviously, there was nothing left to do but wait.

On Mu Cheng's side.

"This guy is so strong, let's back off and think of something." Mu Cheng didn't intend to give up.

He was clearly determined to get this thing, but since every method they'd tried so far had been useless, he decided to retreat, rest, and think of a plan.

"It seems there are no better ways... By the way, have you noticed a problem? Why can't we contact the others? Could it be that we're not in the same space?" Yue Chan said slowly.

Mu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Probably! That would explain it, but none of that matters now."

It was exactly as he said; even if it were true, so what? It was an unchangeable fact. Instead of wasting energy on that, they might as well think about what to do.

"How about we try to take the earth core directly?" Yue Chan suggested weakly.

Mu Cheng thought seriously and said, "It seems that's the only option... I'll be responsible for stalling it, and I'll leave the earth core to you."

"No problem. You... be careful," Yue Chan said, showing concern with a hint of awkwardness.

Being the straight-laced man he was, Mu Cheng naturally didn't take it to heart and had just stepped into the Black Desert.

The Ghost Knight charged towards him...

Yue Chan also seized the opportunity, stealthily bypassing the Ghost Knight and heading straight for the earth core.

But an accident suddenly occurred. Although the Ghost Knight seemed like a robot, it wasn't that simple.

Its target was originally Mu Cheng, but it suddenly turned and charged straight at Yue Chan.

Fortunately, her reaction speed was extremely fast, allowing her to dodge it narrowly.

"Damned humans, all of you die!" It charged at Yue Chan once again.

"Quick, back off! This guy's target is whoever gets close to the earth core," Mu Cheng shouted urgently.

At the same time, he charged straight towards the earth core himself...

Sure enough, as he said, the Ghost Knight's target from beginning to end was whoever was closest to the earth core.

"Retreat first, I think I've thought of a way." Yue Chan turned around and exited the Black Desert.

Mu Cheng was a bit worse off... he was sent flying out by the Ghost Knight.

"Damn it, this guy is way too strong!" Mu Cheng complained, but he still asked.

"Anyway, what's your plan?"

"I looked at the terrain; we can play it for a fool," Yue Chan replied.

Mu Cheng looked at the terrain; the Black Desert was a circle, and the area next to it was not within its range.

Instantly understanding her meaning, he said, "Let's give it a try then!"

Although he felt it was unreliable, it was indeed somewhat feasible.

No sooner said than done. This small Black Desert was about three hundred meters in range.

Mu Cheng and Yue Chan each stood at the edge...

"Listen to my commands. One command, one step. Remember, if it appears again, leave immediately!" Mu Cheng began to shout.

Just as he finished shouting 'one', the Ghost Knight appeared, targeting Mu Cheng. Fortunately, he had only taken one step forward.

He immediately backed out...

"It seems this method doesn't work either." Mu Cheng actually understood what Yue Chan meant.

Her idea was to use this method to exhaust the Ghost Knight's stamina, but Mu Cheng's idea...

Was actually to see if it would work if both of them stepped in and approached the earth core at the same time...

"What the heck? We haven't even tried it yet, and you say it won't work?" Yue Chan was instantly bewildered.

Mu Cheng was the same. "Haven't we already tried it?"

"Wait, please, big sister, my idea was for both of us to approach the earth core at the same time."

"This... it's indeed feasible. Why didn't you say so earlier?" Yue Chan was instantly extremely embarrassed.

Mu Cheng felt quite awkward. "You're right... it seems I misunderstood at the beginning. Let's try again!"

"Mhm, let's try your method first." Yue Chan nodded.

As Mu Cheng gave the shout, Yue Chan also took a step into the Black Desert. Sure enough, this method was effective, and the Ghost Knight did not appear.

"Okay, it actually works like this. Let's head out first! This is too difficult. Since we're going in at the same time anyway, we might as well be in the same spot." After saying that, Yue Chan walked straight out of the Black Desert.
