Dark Race's Treasure-Seizing Plan
Gu Ding and his group naturally had no idea what was happening on the spaceship. They were still in that secret realm, trailing behind the Dark Race for two whole days.
The Dark Race had arrived three days earlier than Gu Ding and his group, and had already acquired several Pseudo Spiritual Object. They had also located the warehouse in the past two days. However, upon seeing the two Platinum Skeleton standing like gatekeepers at the warehouse entrance, they decisively chose to give up. Instead, they shifted their focus to another location with only one Platinum Skeleton — the Time Acceleration Cabin that the Sea Emperor had previously scouted.
The Dark Race naturally didn't know what the hut was, but they assumed it contained some treasure, so they guarded it with Platinum Skeleton, just like a warehouse. However, there was only one Platinum Skeleton pet, so they also decided to risk raiding the hut.
Gu Ding and his group watched the Sea Emperor's detection video from a short distance away, waiting patiently.
In the video projection, a group of Dark Night Clan members were lurking less than a hundred meters away from the hut, huddled together, seemingly discussing something.
"There must be treasures hidden in this hut, otherwise there wouldn't be Platinum Skeleton guarding it." A tall young man was the current temporary leader of this group. Given the Dark Race's strong-willed nature, this young man was probably the strongest in the group.
"Abram, what should we do now? The Platinum Skeleton was Half-Step True God in life. These ancient creatures are beyond our ability to deal with even after they die." A long-haired youth asked the tallest youth, and the others also looked at him.
"To get the treasure, we don't necessarily have to kill this Platinum Skeleton. We just need to lure it away." Abram said, his gaze falling on a young man who was taller than himself beside him. "Esh, find a place to hide first. After we lure the Platinum Skeleton away, you go into that hut and put everything inside into your temporary Storage Space."
Everyone was quite dissatisfied upon hearing this. The guy who was taller than Abram was named Esrick, Abram's younger brother. Abram's plan to lure away the Platinum Skeleton so that his own brother could collect the treasure had angered many, but due to the brothers' strength, the others dared not speak out.
"Let me explain the specific steps of the plan. First, we need someone to try and enter the hut to collect the treasure. If the Platinum Skeleton doesn't awaken, the person who collects the treasure must share it equally with everyone afterward. If the Platinum Skeleton awakens, then we move on to the second step. I will lead the other nine people to attack the Platinum Skeleton, drawing its attention, and then everyone will scatter and escape. The third step is that while the Platinum Skeleton is chasing us, Esrick, who is hiding nearby, will complete the final step by entering the hut to collect the treasure. After obtaining the treasure, everyone will then share it equally."
After Abram finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and said, "Any questions should be raised before the plan is implemented."
"I have a few questions," the long-haired youth spoke again. "First, the person who gets the treasure might not be willing to share it equally with us. If they hoard it, we might not even know. How do we deal with that? Second, what if the Platinum Skeleton guards this hut and refuses to leave with us? Third, if the Platinum Skeleton catches up, the person being chased will have very little chance of survival. Besides, we've already seen the speed of the Golden Skeleton; the Platinum Skeleton will only be faster. Perhaps more than one person will perish. I personally think the risks of this plan are still too high."
Abram paused for a moment, seemingly pondering the questions, before finally offering his answers.
"Agas, I know you have some concerns. I do need to explain the issues you raised further. First, regarding the issue of hiding the treasure, how about this: there were two people who took the treasure. We'll have them take off their Smart Watch and hand over all their other temporary Storage Space, leaving them with only one empty temporary Storage Space. That way, they won't be able to hide it."
"This method works," Agas nodded after hearing the solution.
"As for the second point, if the Platinum Skeleton refuses to leave, we'll keep harassing it and see if we can damage it. If that doesn't work, then we can only blame our bad luck and just move on to the next treasure location."
"As for your third point, that depends on luck. If you're unlucky and get caught by the Platinum Skeleton, you can't blame anyone else. After all, fortune favors the bold. If everyone thinks this plan is unfeasible, then I won't force you. However, this used to be Miniature World, and although it has now become a secret realm, these skeletons in the secret realm cannot leave this Miniature World. So, if you are being chased, escaping outside the secret realm will definitely be safe, provided that you can hold out until then."
Abram's last words silenced everyone, and they were all considering whether to take a gamble.
The surveillance video that Gu Ding and his team saw also had audio, so none of Abram's words Gu Ding their ears.
"I thought the Dark Race were all powerful, but it turns out they're all cowardly cowards." Liliath mocked after watching the video for a long time without anyone speaking up.
"Given the speed of the Platinum Skeleton, someone will definitely be caught, and once caught, they will certainly die. Even the Dark Race members can't be fearless of death." Gu Ding could understand the reason for their hesitation.
"Only that guy named Ash is the safest. I find it strange that the guy named Abram would leave the safest spot to someone else." Dokter was a little puzzled.
"They must have some kind of relationship. It's very likely they're father and son, or brothers, but of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they're lovers." Miko gave his analysis, which was always devoid of personal bias and only presented the most intuitive results.
"I compared their facial features and the analysis showed that they are brothers," Sea Emperor quickly gave his answer.
In the video, after a moment of silence, Agas and his team made their choice.
"I vote in favor, because I really can't think of any other way," Agas was the first to speak.
"I have no objection either; I've always been lucky," another young man said.
"I agree!" The third person quickly cast his vote in agreement.
All eleven people ultimately voted in favor.
"Since we've already agreed to carry out this plan, let's choose the first person to collect the treasure. They definitely need to be fast enough to escape quickly before the Platinum Skeleton awakens," Abram said, his gaze falling on a blond boy. "Angel, you're the fastest in our group. How about we assign this task to you?"
When Abram heard Abram call his name, Angel expression changed. This was clearly the most dangerous mission. Because once the Platinum Skeleton awakened, it was highly likely it would ignore everyone else's attacks and directly try to kill him.
Although Abram's tone was deliberate, his eyes clearly carried a threatening undertone. Angel looked around pleadingly, but no one spoke up for him. Instead, all eyes were on him, some with pity, and a few with a hint of schadenfreude.
Angel steeled himself and said, "Since everyone agrees, I have nothing more to say."
He was about to leap up when Abram grabbed his wrist. "Wait a minute, hand over the Smart Watch and the other temporary Storage Space."
"You..." Angel was somewhat annoyed, but he also knew that he was no match for Abram.
"This was agreed upon beforehand, to prevent anyone from hoarding anything. We won't touch a single one of your things, don't worry, there are so many people watching over us. If anything is missing, I'll take care of it for you," Abram said confidently.
But Angel didn't quite believe him. His gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Agas. "Agas, you keep it for me."
Actually, he wasn't very familiar with Agas, but Agas didn't show any gloating expression just now, and Agas's strength wasn't much worse than Abram's.
Agas was taken aback, but then nodded. "Since you trust me, I will definitely keep it safe for you. As long as we both survive, I will return everything to you intact."
"Thank you!" Angel said, taking off his Smart Watch and then taking off the several temporary Storage Space rings he carried with him, handing them to Agas.
Agas also handed him a temporary Storage Ring, saying, "I've already cleared out this temporary space; it's completely empty. You can use it."
After accepting the ring and putting it on, Abram's voice came again, "Angel, once Ash is hidden, try to open the door to that hut. If you see the Platinum Skeleton making any moves, just run away immediately. We'll handle the rest."
Angel nodded reluctantly, then leaped a few times and appeared at the door of the cabin.
Platinum Skeleton showed no signs of waking up, and Abram patted his brother on the shoulder, "Esh, go hide on the other side of the cabin. It's okay if it's a little further away. Once Platinum Skeleton starts chasing us, it won't turn back anytime soon."
"Hmm." Esrick nodded, then disappeared on the other side of the hut with a few leaps. A moment later, he called out to Angel telepathically, "I'm ready!"
Angel reached out and touched the red door of the cottage... r1152
