The God of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 328 - Gunpowder

When the fishing nets flew over, Huang Zhong, a marksman, saw the black spheres around the nets, and how could he be a marksman without good eyesight.

The black spheres flew in all directions along with the broken nets, but Huang Zhong didn't expect that the nets would be shattered.

But what Huang Zhong didn't expect was that when one of his countless knives unintentionally touched one of the small black spheres, an extremely strong energy impact instantly swept across the battlefield, followed by the mushroom cloud that Lin Xiaodao saw outside the scene.

The fierce energy impact made everyone's faces turn pale in a split second, and although Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun were able to force open their energy shields, the surrounding generals completely gave up fighting at that moment!

"Dead!" This was what everyone thought at that moment, including Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who were already on the defensive, that no one could survive the impact of that energy.

But something miraculous happened, when that huge, massive energy swept over them like a storm, and everyone felt that they would be reduced to nothingness by that energy, the energy just passed over them like a breeze without causing any harm!

"Are you saying that the energy was completely harmless to you as if it were an illusion?"

Lin Xiaodao was incomparably surprised and asked.

"Indeed, although that energy swept around and swept up a large amount of sand and rocks at the same time, somehow, that thing didn't do us any harm at all!"

Huang Zhong replied with a palpable look on his face, even though the matter had passed, he was still a little horrified and incredulous now.

"How could this happen? Are you sure everyone is okay?"

As a modern man who is well aware of the lethal power of gunpowder, Lin Xiaodagger could not believe that this was true.

Even if Huang Zhong said that the two of them unleashed their holy throne power at the critical moment to resist it, or that the energy was just seemingly huge but actually very small, Lin Xiaodie could accept the explanation, but Huang Zhong told him that the huge energy was completely harmless to them? Lin Xiaodao was really somewhat unable to accept it.

"Indeed, the last general confirmed that the energy was completely harmless to us!" Huang Zhong's repeated confirmations made Lin Xiaodie finally accept that gunpowder, which represents absolute force in reality, is completely harmless in the game.

But after accepting this setting, Lin Xiaodao suddenly realized that the fact that gunpowder doesn't work in the game is a great good thing for him, after all, if gunpowder really works in the game, the advantage of the power that has mastered the method of developing gunpowder is infinite!

"Well, it's good to know that if that thing had actually appeared in the game, no one would have been able to stop its power!" Thinking about it, Lin Xiaodao couldn't help but mutter something in a low voice, but at that moment, Zhao Yun, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up.

"If the last general hadn't been wrong, that energy burst actually caused damage afterwards, because I remember that there should have been two black-clothed people among that group of generals, but after the energy burst, I never saw them again!"

"What!" Lin Xiaodao's heart, which had just been lowered, lifted up again, "Can you be sure, Zilong?"

Zhao Yun frowned and thought carefully for a moment and returned with a guilty conscience.

"My lord, I can be sure that two people disappeared, but not because of the burst of energy of the last general can not be sure." The scene was terrifying, and it was good that he, who had been completely covered by the shadow of death, could still barely find this detail.

The information given by Zhao Yun hung Lin Xiaodao's heart and soul again, and if what Zhao Yun said was true, it meant that a great weapon like gunpowder could again have the effect it should have in the game for some reason!

However, Zhao Yun knew too little information, as he could only be certain that two men in black had disappeared for no reason, but he could not determine the reason why they had disappeared.

Did they disappear, did they die, or did they voluntarily exit the ring? Or maybe they removed their disguises and blended in with the group of generals? Lin Xiaodao repeatedly speculated about the reason why those two had disappeared.

If it's death, it's basically an absolute correlation to the energy explosion, but what if it's the removal of the disguise or the voluntary exit from the ring?

Fortunately, the answers to these two questions are not hard to find, as the question of whether the ring can be voluntarily withdrawn from the tournament can be asked of Zhuge Liang, while removing the disguise.

"Wu Qi, do you remember the number of generals in that group in the ring?"

"Reporting back to my lord, there were a total of 123 martial generals who entered the ring, including two who entered at the last minute."

Observation is Wu Qi's strong point, and the two inside the arena may not have a clear idea of the number of people inside because of their line of sight or even angle, but Wu Qi outside the arena could see clearly.

"123 people? Can you be sure?"

"The last general will guarantee it with his life!"

123 people went in, and what happened to those who came out? This question didn't bother Lin Xiaodao for long, as Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who were present, gave him the answer in a flash.

"At the end of the day, the last general succeeded in capturing 60 enemy troops!" When it came to the number 60, Zhao Yun's eyebrows furrowed a bit.

"The last general has captured 61 men!"

61, when Huang Zhong said this number Lin Xiaodao knew the answer he wanted, because Zhuge Liang's answer he already had, the tournament is a fight to the death, only after confirming that the others have no resistance, the power barrier over the ring will open, so there is absolutely no way anyone can get out early!

"123 people went in and 121 came out, which can only mean that two really died in there! But why didn't I find any fallen objects? Is it because someone put it away early? Still, those two are players!"

The energy storm was so strong that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun even felt themselves turning into nothingness as the storm approached, so it's normal to not see any bodies in the ring.

But don't forget, this is a game! And there is one more rule in the game that no one can break: a humanoid monster must drop certain items when it dies!

Death drops are a counter-intuitive setting that doesn't change anything because of how the dropster died or how badly they died, and as long as it's a humanoid, there's always a drop, even if it's just a small coin!

"By the way, my Lord, I have seen two flashes of white light as the storm cut through!"

When the last critical piece of information appeared, Lin Xiaodao no longer had to speculate any further, at this point he was able to determine that the two so-called men in black were in fact players!

But after getting this answer, Lin Xiaodao's face became more and more ugly, because after combining all the clues, Lin Xiaodao discovered a fact that made him uncomfortable, and this fact is that gunpowder, indeed, can exert its true power in the game, but the only people who can feel its true power are the players who fall from the sky!
