Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1957 The Hidden Truth

We searched again but found no system prompts related to blue. We were only one color away from completing our set, and with plenty of time left, we returned to our tents, planning to wait until sunrise. Zhou Chuyuan was racking his brains, trying to come up with something, but he couldn't find a definite answer either. We couldn't think of anything from colors, as all the blue we could find was already listed. Zhou Chuyuan asked if we could get something from the foot of the mountain, but I shook my head, saying it probably wouldn't work. Although the system didn't indicate whether it was possible or not, I figured we could only use what we could see on the mountain. Until the sun was fully up, we still hadn't found anything. Having reached a satisfactory result and prepared to give up, Lin Zhenfei stepped forward, carrying a bottle of Lanxiang (a type of incense). Wu Luansen took it, smelled it, and asked curiously without any apparent reason, "Why did you think of taking this? Isn't it for healing?" Lin Zhenfei nodded, "Of course I know these are for healing, but putting this in should allow me to synthesize it. I thought about the character 'blue' for a long time. It doesn't just represent a color, but no one has ever said it's a symbol of color. I just think that the character can be interpreted as a homophone, and then I remembered Lanxiang." Xing Zhichuan also put Lanxiang in, and it actually worked! Everyone couldn't help but applaud. Wu Luansen... He quickly called everyone to a meeting: "Remember this: no one has any absolute weaknesses. So, while Fei Ge might be a little colorblind, his reduced color perception means he's more sensitive to other things. Fei Ge's brain isn't bad; sometimes it works much faster. From now on, when we look at problems, we shouldn't rely on fixed ways of thinking. We need to step outside our comfort zones and consider things from different angles. For example, from now on, let's not use a fixed mindset to think about things; let's think more about sound and meaning." Lin Zhenfei smiled slightly: "Who said I had a low IQ before? Stand up! Today, I'll show you all how I can be so intelligent." "The son of the merchant came because I'm naturally intelligent. You all see me as some kind of rude person." Guan Xixi grabbed his ear and twisted it hard. "Did you give birth to the child? You didn't mention my genes at all. You really think you're so smart? It's just luck." Everyone laughed. Lin Zhenfei quickly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I was just trying to save face. Now not only have I failed, but my face is getting smaller and smaller. Please stop teasing me." Guo Tian stood to the side, watching quietly without saying a word. After all, her son had already escaped and hadn't been caught yet. If she made a sound now, others might look down on her. The Blue Hat map was finally submitted successfully, and we all breathed a sigh of relief. After completing the Blue Hat map, we changed to a different one, which was larger than our first one. At least we now knew the exact location of the spiritual energy entrance, but we didn't know how to get there after entering. Buying this information from others would be very difficult, since everyone wants to find it themselves, and sharing wouldn't allow for proper profit sharing. What exactly is the hidden truth this time? In our view, the hidden truth is nothing more than a conspiracy and profit-seeking. However, we can't completely trust anyone right now. Many people have suggested sharing, but many others feel that sharing is inappropriate, what if their own information is more important? The person who initiated this competition understood everyone's thoughts, knowing that people are selfish, and even a team can fall apart at any time. Let alone complete strangers. Putting aside the truth, let's first see what paths we can take. Whether we can find spiritual energy is another matter; let's first discuss whether this place actually has spiritual energy, whether there are those so-called treasures, or if they're just trying to make these people kill each other. Zhou Chuyuan stepped forward and said, "Actually, I think there should be spiritual energy here. What they said isn't wrong. If there wasn't any, there would be no need to open this place. But the amount of spiritual energy varies, and we might only get a very small amount. Making these people kill each other isn't the goal; it's to make them reveal themselves. Often, revealing oneself is better than killing each other. Before, they wanted to collect capable people, but many capable people hid and didn't want to show themselves. Now, they can only lure these people out using this method." What a clever fishing game!
