Strange Rules: It doesn't matter, the system will take care of it.

Chapter 329 Shorting Mem

Shockwaves continued to explode on the sand, raising clouds of dust. With one loud bang after another, the beast kept sniping at the knights. However, after the poplar tree was cut down, it was like a blind man, firing dozens of shots, leaving nothing but a ground full of craters.

This is what it looks like without an 8x scope.

Chen Feng jumped onto the saddle, lightly tapped the camel's belly with his foot, urging it to leave quickly so as not to be touched by the big beast.

Xia Mei, riding the earth dragon, followed closely behind: "Everyone, let's go!"

Having barely rested before having to continue their journey, the knights, unaware of the truth, assumed that Xia Mei had chopped down the poplar tree, incurring the monster's wrath, and began to complain amongst themselves:

"Damn it, my skills have been permanently banned, it's all Xia Mei's fault."

"That's ridiculous, why did you have to provoke it?"

The knights' undisguised voices made Xia Mei's expression freeze.

Chen Feng seized the opportunity and asked Xia Mei, "Why did you join them in attacking the Giant Kun?"

"promise."

Xia Mei revealed a determined look in her eyes: "I promised to help the prophet defeat the giant Kun, and I cannot break my promise."

Chen Feng said jokingly, "That would kill you many times, ma'am."

Xia Mei shrugged, her pair of fair and plump legs swaying on either side of the earth dragon: "There's nothing I can do. When I first transmigrated, I had no money for food. If it weren't for the passing prophet who took me in, I would have starved to death."

Mem just mentioned this.

Chen Feng himself is a grateful and trustworthy person, so he wasn't opposed to Xia Mei's decision. However, he did remind her, "I have a feeling this is a bit eerie. How did you come to be? Were you a goddess reincarnated from heaven, or were you escorted by angels from paradise?"

"No, I just bought some things at the supermarket and arrived in the blink of an eye."

"So, just like Sasaki, you didn't awaken any cheat codes?"

"this."

"Never mind if you can't say. Where did you meet the prophet?"

"Slums".

"It's a trap."

"Is this a trap?"

Chen Feng glared at his apprentice beside him: "Sika, you tell me what the problem is?"

After being trained by both the Savior and Chen Feng, Sika was no longer the ignorant villager she once was: "Would the number one prophet of the Divine Dragon Kingdom wander aimlessly through the slums?"

Xia Mei wasn't stupid. After this little explanation, she realized what was going on and thought to herself, "It seems the prophet anticipated that I would go back in time and came specifically for me."

Thus, the gratitude one feels towards the prophet diminishes considerably.

But it's a fact that they took her in, so Xia Mei said, "No matter what, I'll help if I can."

Sigh, people with a people-pleasing personality are really hard to deal with.

Chen Feng had known all along that the prophet was lying, but he couldn't expose him because the way he knew the truth was also a secret.

Last time, in the underground passage, Chen Feng took advantage of the prophet being controlled by the sandworm, used a time stop, and stole the prophet's book of prophecy, from which he learned:

The Prophet was one of the disciples of the Calamity Witch. In the Law War five hundred years ago, although the Calamity Witch was not defeated by the eldest son of the Sun King, she was severely injured and fell into a coma and a state of apparent death.

In order to resurrect the witch, the prophet took the prophecy book left by his master and summoned the time traveler Xia Mei according to the time given in the book. He threw her into the slums to suffer, and when danger came, he stepped forward to help her, making Xia Mei owe him a debt of gratitude, so that she would help him collect the materials to resurrect the witch.

So Xia Mei's suffering in this other world is all because of this old bastard.

The prophecy says that the Dragon Knights will, with Xia Mei's help, defeat the Great Kun without taking any damage.

"So this 500-year-old guy definitely won't let Xia Mei go."

"If I want to poach someone, I have to start with others."

Chen Feng quickly identified a horned demon elf.

Coincidentally.

Because of the strong sandstorm, the knights walked for half a day without seeing any sign of the tower, and they didn't even know if they were going around in circles. Although they had spatial rings to carry food and supplies, they should be able to stay for three months without much trouble.

But running aimlessly still breeds anxiety, and the most irritable of all is naturally the pressure-driven Mem: "Blind girl, you're the one who made everyone set off against the sandstorm, and now we've walked for ages and still haven't gotten anywhere. What excuse do you have for that?"

well said!

Chen Feng smirked and pulled on the left reins, leaning towards Mem.

Seeing this, Sika sighed softly, "Master is laughing. Another person is about to be tricked."

As it turns out, Mem always sees things differently from others. For example, Chen Feng was able to survive a monster ambush thanks to the Eternal Sword's special effect, which most people would consider a master.

Mem, however, only said he still needed to practice: "What does a blind man who couldn't even detect a monster's sneak attack want from me?"

As expected of you.

They can always find a perspective on people under pressure.

Chen Feng glanced back and, seeing the prophet was gone, flattered him, saying, "I just don't understand. The Dragon Knights have such a powerful elf as you, such a powerful mage as the prophet, and all of them are level 100 knights, so why is there someone like Miss Xia Mei, who's just a level 1 and dragging everyone down?"

Mem fell for the trap: "It's all because the Prophet is too kind-hearted. If it were me, I would have kicked this level one piece of trash out long ago."

Suppressing his joy, Chen Feng chimed in, "That's right. When we encounter the giant Kun later, won't you need to assign more people to protect her?"

Mem thought about it carefully, and it really was true.

Chen Feng pressed his advantage, saying, "I just heard Xia Mei say that she's the one who solves all the problems in your Knights Order?"

Mem's face immediately fell. For someone as proud as her, admitting she was inferior to others was worse than death: "You useless trash who only knows how to shout and yell, how dare you spout such nonsense!"

Chen Feng whispered, "But you really can't refute Ms. Xia Mei's words, after all, it seems that Xia Mei was present at all of your previous achievements?"

Under Chen Feng's guidance.

Mem quickly came up with a plan: "If we just kick the blind girl out, and then attack the giant Kun, wouldn't that prove she's completely useless?"

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Cut off the main artery in one fell swoop—that's the authentic way to leave the team!

Chen Feng was overjoyed, wishing he could get off the camel and do a somersault on the spot, but the plan to kick people out was impossible to succeed with the prophet around, so he still had to find a way to get rid of the prophet.

What should we do?

Just then.

With a sudden stop, the line came to a halt.

Mem frowned, her words dripping with pressure: "Tired so quickly? Are you guys even capable?!"

However, she soon realized something was wrong.

It wasn't the knights who stopped, but their mounts—earth dragons, camels, and even the subspecies of dragons in front of the chariot—all the mounts trembled and knelt down, too afraid to move forward.

This feeling is like encountering a mouse with a cat.

A deep, low cry echoed in the sky, and shadows covered the sand as if it were dark.

Chen Feng looked up and saw a flying "mountain".

That is the final boss of the Tower of Sages, the world-destroying monster, the Great Kun, which has killed countless heroes and wiped out tens of thousands of expeditions in the past five hundred years!
