The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 295: The rotten man’s trap
When Annan held the "Eternal Life" curse, he had detected the general location of Fu Fu.
Although I don’t know the specific distance between Him and me, it can be judged that it is under the southern part of Noah’s Kingdom—probably near the Saltpeter Ranch.
As for the area linked to Saltpeter Ranch, Annan is quite familiar with it.
It is definitely impossible to go west. Because that depth is already close to the deep sea.
If the tunnel continues to be dug westward and penetrates, seawater will directly flood the tunnel.
Although the profession of digger essentially depends on luck, you still need to have the most basic geographical knowledge. Otherwise, once you get lost while digging a tunnel, you won't be able to read the map or even understand where you are now.
Then there are only two tunnels left in Saltpeter Ranch.
One leads to the southeast, passing through the underground of Silmarillion Island and entering the territory of Denisoa. The water surface connecting the Field Islands to Denisoa is not particularly deep. If the sea level were tens to hundreds of meters below sea level, land would probably be visible.
Of course, sea levels cannot drop so much out of thin air. However, this distance is enough to build tunnels in underground cities.
It can only be a tunnel.
Because the area is really not enough, and the land intensity is not high enough. The lighting of the underground city relies entirely on the light ant layer. If normal life is to be ensured, the height from the dome to the ground must be at least tens of meters.
And if it is hollowed out to this extent, the light ant layer may not be able to support the fragile land above.
So for the diggers, this was not a "suitable location for building a city".
After trekking all the way to the southeast, we were right under the volcano where the Lava Forbidden Tower was located - it was an underground urban area belonging to the United Kingdom, and Annan had not been there yet.
If you move to the northeast, you will enter directly under the former sunken imperial capital.
——Yes, the sinking of the Imperial Capital was actually not particularly deep.
At least the underground city can dig cities further down. Mainly because the big whirlpool prevented exploration... This is also the reason why Noah's eldest princess had the courage to think about the empire's legacy.
Although once the boat enters, it cannot get out. But if you dive directly from a farther place, use spells or rituals to advance from the bottom of the sea... it may not necessarily be impossible to dig it out.
And this area is also unable to build a city because of the tunnels.
But if you continue to go north, you will reach an intermediate area close to both Winter and Noah. The water here is relatively shallow, allowing cities to be built. That's almost a journey from Frozen Water Port to the southeast corner...
...It's almost the same location where "Don Juan" was killed on the beach.
And directly below here is the bone raising ground where Professor Gray is.
This is also the origin of the original name of the bone raising ground as "Grey Tower".
The so-called Tower of Reflection...
Since it is a "reflection", of course it must be in the water.
——And directly above the Gray Tower is the large whirlpool left behind after the Imperial Capital sank to the bottom of the sea.
When he used [Dream Egg: Ode to the Heavenly Chariot] and when he went to deal with Trissino, Annan went to these two places respectively.
At that time, Annan had not yet lifted the curse of the "Eternal One".
Through triangulation, Annan can easily determine the specific location of Fu Fu.
Definitely in Saltpeter Ranch.
He stayed there for a long, long time...at least two months apart.
This shouldn't be just passing by. He was probably looking for something inside, or making preparations secretly.
After all, while Annan was able to detect Fu Fu, Fu Fu could also sense Annan's existence. Then He must have known that Annan already knew His specific location - but He did not move at all until Annan became the Saint of Justice.
So, the current situation is very clear.
Fufu has realized the final fate of him and Annan, and is preparing for the final battle between them.
Despite Annan's current hard power, even without relying on players, he is already able to defeat Fufu head-on.
But Annan will not take his enemies lightly - not to mention, this is still essentially a leapfrog challenge...
Although Fufu's sublimation ceremony has not been completely completed yet, he has already taken control of the authority, and his status is indeed higher than Annan.
So Annan took the gold-level players, and after performing all the rituals that were convenient for blessing, replenishing the consumables and status, they teleported to the Saltpeter Ranch in a hidden state.
Including Annan, there were fifty-seven people in total.
A teleportation on this scale will definitely alarm Fu Fu. But it's better than having some people teleported and then putting up a barrier to block the teleportation, blocking the remaining people.
——As soon as he entered the Saltpeter Ranch, Annan realized what Fu Fu was doing.
The transfer point between Annan and the players is the warehouse belonging to the Fallen that Citalopran and Si Anke captured before. This is the place where the Bloody Hand brothers were instantly killed by Henry Warden, the "man against himself".
This was originally supposed to be a safe house.
If this place is re-occupied, the players will immediately take action after teleporting to the ground, killing or controlling the people occupying this place first. At least keep them from sending out information.
But when more than fifty players, who were nervously teleporting to the ground, were scattered and teleported into this warehouse...
They immediately smelled a strong and distinctive fragrance.
Like a rose boiled in rum.
There was a faint red mist in the air, which looked like blood or the color of rose wine.
The aroma that gives people a sense of moisture is everywhere. Just walking around the room will make your face wet with mist.
It was like spraying perfume in the air first, and then hitting the mist that was still hanging in the air with your eyes closed.
In this warehouse that was breached by players in the past, whether it was a wall or something, the locations that were damaged by violence have now been repaired.
The repairing skills are not very good, but at least it can prevent light and wind from leaking, and people will not be shot from the outside through the wooden boards and accurately snipe the people lying inside. This shows that there must be a group of people planning to live here.
However, the players quickly scanned twice with their perception abilities and found that there was no one in the building.
To be more precise, there is not a living thing at all.
It was so clean that it was almost lifeless.
It even reminded Annan of the heavy fog that filled Paris in another world when he met the Emerald Lama.
...But the scent of roses that is visible to the naked eye is inside a building that has been treated for windproofing.
Annan and players with strong enough physiques did not notice it.
But those players whose physical attributes were still not up to standard after advancing to the gold level gradually began to have strange hallucinations.
The world in front of them began to gradually become distorted, and all colors became extremely bright. Especially the cold-toned light became extremely dazzling... Everyone else's skin seemed to turn cyan and blue.
In the words of Longjing tea, it is a bit close to the feeling of "accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms while traveling to Yunnan". ~IndoMTL.com~ Annan’s memory of this description is even more profound.
This is exactly the kind of aroma he smelled when his eyesight and hearing were taken away by rotten husband!
...Has Fufu already guessed the location of their teleportation?
With this thought in mind, Annan pointed at the newly repaired wall panel.
A thin layer of frost appeared on the wall panel, and then disintegrated and dissipated silently. It was like a swarm of insects made of ice biting and engulfing him.
After the building was destroyed, Annan saw the city outside.
——I saw this **** mist filling the sky above the entire Saltpeter Ranch and in the streets.
Looking around, within the range visible to the naked eye...
The whole city is deserted.
