Chapter 752 - 752 752 Dressing Up Dolls
752: Chapter 752: Dressing Up Dolls 752: Chapter 752: Dressing Up Dolls Black Jack had been keeping an eye on Captain Ma Lu’s movements, and when he saw him flee, he also made a run for it immediately.
He assumed a hound’s posture, using both hands and feet, and his speed surpassed that of Ma Lu’s jet boots, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
But Ma Lu was not in a hurry.
Having died twenty times, although he still hadn’t found a way to deal with the Revenge canned carps, he had more or less figured out some of their habits.
The Revenge canned carps would devour any living creature it saw.
If there were prey trying to escape, it would tend to start eating from the one farthest away.
In other words, the faster Black Jack ran, the more likely he would become the primary target of the Revenge canned carps, just like the previous birdman.
It was just that this time, since Ma Lu had eliminated the female giant’s group in advance, Black Jack had not seen the birdman being eaten and naturally did not know that he had been set up.
Ma Lu then also maxed out the speed of his jet boots.
Because he betrayed his teammates from the start, his time active was longer than the previous twenty times, and he had naturally reached a much farther place.
It was a room with a huge transparent dome, which from the remaining facilities seemed to be a small park with artificial waterfalls, benches, and flowerbeds, but there were no plants left in the flowerbeds now.
Additionally, Ma Lu saw some shell casings and weapon parts floating in mid-air, clearly indicating that a battle had taken place here before.
As for why no corpses were seen, the answer was simple; they were probably all eaten by the Revenge canned carps.
Ma Lu felt some disappointment, as this meant the previous group here also had no solution against the Revenge canned carps.
Could he really only give up?
Ma Lu glanced at the Traveler’s Bracelet again.
Based on previous experiences, there were less than half a minute left before the Revenge canned carps would come to devour him.
There was no time for a thorough search here; Ma Lu activated his jet boots again and flew directly above the park.
Looking down from above, he made a new discovery behind the artificial waterfall.
At first, Ma Lu thought the motionless object was a piece of space debris, but he found its silhouette familiar.
When he got closer, he finally saw the object clearly; it was an oversized plush rabbit, motionlessly floating mid-air.
It looked like a ragged toy discarded by someone.
Ma Lu was overjoyed.
He had been searching for the Rabbit Man, but despite finally reaching the agreed-upon location, he saw no sign of him.
He continued to search several floors and still did not encounter the Rabbit Man.
Turns out, the guy was actually on the topmost level and had encountered the Revenge canned carps, no wonder he never showed up.
After the initial joy, Ma Lu started to worry about the dead rabbit.
So far, no one who had encountered the Revenge canned carps survived, and Ma Lu didn’t know if the Rabbit Man was still alive, whether there was flesh and blood under that plush suit.
As if to respond to his doubts, the next second one of the rabbit ears twitched, and then the two button-sewn eyes turned towards Ma Lu.
Damn!
Ma Lu was startled, and he couldn’t help but admire the Rabbit Man’s historic level of playing dead.
Before, it fooled those Supersonic Flat Fin Flagfish with this trick.
This time it was even more incredible, even the legendary Revenge canned carps had been hoodwinked.
However, now was not the time for reminiscing; Ma Lu glanced at the Traveler’s Bracelet again.
In no more than 20 seconds, the Revenge Canned Carp would descend upon this place.
So Ma Lu decided to cut to the chase, speaking at his fastest pace, “You’re the most experienced angler I know, do you have a way to deal with it?”
After Ma Lu finished speaking, he looked expectantly at Rabbit Man, who did not disappoint, nodding his head.
Ma Lu felt his heartbeat quicken, his eyes sparked with an intense light, as he firmly grasped Rabbit Man’s shoulders.
“Quick, tell me, what should we do!”
Rabbit Man picked up a screwdriver and scribbled a few crooked lines on the soil of the flowerbed.
“What does this mean?”
Ma Lu frowned as he looked at the ghost talisman on the ground.
Rabbit Man pointed towards the door, then at the circle penned at the destination point, spurring an idea in Ma Lu.
“You’re saying this is…
a map?!
The thing that can deal with the Revenge Canned Carp is located at the circle.”
Rabbit Man nodded.
“Then why don’t you go there?” Ma Lu continued to pursue.
However, in the next moment, he realized Rabbit Man had suddenly stopped moving, becoming still like the toy doll from before.
At the same time, Ma Lu’s hairs stood on end!
A great sense of crisis surged in his heart, and with difficulty, he raised his head, only to see that familiar shadow once again appearing above him.
The immense fish eye was staring fixedly at him.
Ma Lu forcibly controlled the fear inside him, glancing at the map below with the corner of his eye, trying to memorize it, and before the shadow engulfed him, he quickly picked up the rifle and pressed its muzzle against his heart.
He pulled the trigger!
Not giving that thing a chance to devour him.
After the bang of the gunshot, Ma Lu returned to the save point once again, his 21st return here.
But this time, he finally swept away the previous gloom, regaining his vigor.
After so many despairing cycles, he finally saw hope in defeating the Revenge Canned Carp.
Even though this hope was faint, and there were many details that weren’t clear.
Among them, the most important question, which was also the one Ma Lu asked Rabbit Man before dying: if there is something at the location of the circle that can deal with the Revenge Canned Carp, why hadn’t he gone over there himself.
A rather reasonable explanation is that Rabbit Man, knowing that the Revenge Canned Carp was nearby, had no choice but to maintain a feigned death state, unable to move freely.
However, since the dead rabbit himself hadn’t confirmed it, Ma Lu couldn’t be absolutely certain, and he didn’t plan on continuing to ask Rabbit Man either, since the place indicated by the circle was some distance away from the Dome Park where he encountered Rabbit Man.
To meet Rabbit Man, he’d have to die one more time, it would be better to just head directly to the target location for a look.
After making up his mind, Ma Lu once again gathered the members of Qi’s Team for a raid on the female giant’s yet-to-be-formed team.
But this time, Ma Lu requested that everyone try to leave some alive.
After capturing five anglers including the female giant, Ma Lu planned to use them as bait, to throw to the Revenge Canned Carp to buy time, and with Chacha’s Psychic Power, the team should be able to reach the circle successfully.
As for what would happen once they reached there, they could only play it by ear.
What do you think?
