Chapter 96 - Be big or small one

There were two choices, everyone chose the former and continued to go deeper. As for the people coming over here, the Red River blocked them, and naturally screened out the strength of the contestants. The weak ones could not come over, so they did not need to pay attention to them. The arrival of the strong ones meant that a part of the energy mine had to be divided.

In this way, time becomes very important and cannot be wasted. It is better to find the energy mine first, what you get will belong to you completely.

Everyone thought so, but the reality did not develop as they imagined. They did not turn around to see who the visitor was, and the visitor had already arrived in front of them.

A dark black line appeared in the normal space behind them. Under the gaze of everyone, the black crack twisted and trembled, and was finally torn apart, pulling out a huge black hole. As far as the eye could see, it was pitch black. The oppressive feeling from the space made everyone present retreat, at this time, two slender figures walked out of the crack.

When Alex and others saw the faces of the two men, except for Su Yu, everyone else's facial expressions became stiff... It was really unfortunate that the two people who appeared, who they just mentioned, were the other two of the three people that Craig mentioned.

[Exciting, so exciting, who just said that he wanted to see all four main characters? Here they are ma!]

[Cai Yan was very angry. There was hatred for having his feather plucked out in front, and humiliation for having his love taken away in the back. It was a complete hatred that would not end until he died. Unfortunately, he couldn't beat them, it was useless to get angry. The difference in strength was a fatal flaw.]

[Give him some time and space to grow up. Maybe he can tie with Northfield in the future. I've been watching Earth Civilization recently. The male protagonists in it often say that you should not bully the poor young. I think this sentence is very suitable for Cai Yan.]

[The wind of Earth Civilization has been blowing so hard recently. I also want to turn over and take a look.]

[A little scared. Did they make too many jokes and make me abnormal? Why did I feel that Northfield and Lance were searching for Su Yu when they appeared?]

[You must have thought too much. The sight of the two people is normal a.]

Whether the audience is thinking too much or not, only Northfield and Lance know it in their hearts.

Resisting the urge to approach Su Yu directly, his sight swept through the crowd in a pretentious manner. Finally, he could stay on the person he wanted to look at. Northfield tilted his head slightly, his emotions surged in his heart. Reason told him to be patient and not expose himself, so in the end, he just smiled slightly: "Met you again, Su Yu."

"Northfield, long time no see." Su Yu responded, then his sight shifted to Lance next to Northfield, feeling a little puzzled. Why is the other party's behavior... a little strange?

Yes, it's strange. It's not as natural as the last game. Instead, there is an indescribable sense of restraint and erraticness. If he is not mistaken, is Lance peeking at him? And it is the kind of peeking, then turning back, and a few seconds later, peeking again, which is very childish behavior.

"Lance." Northfield called softly.

The call made Lance's heart tighten. His mind, which had drifted away to some unknown place, finally flew back again. He began to feel annoyed. He wanted to behave better, but when he really saw the person, his brain was blank and he couldn't think of anything, as if it had stopped working.

Alex frowned slightly when he saw this scene. The people who came were actually Northfield and Lance. For them, this was really not a good thing. To be realistic, this was an existence that they could not contend with together. Now it was no longer a question of redistributing the energy mine or how much to distribute. If the other party was a little more domineering, they would not get a single energy stone.

Thinking of this, Alex couldn't help but feel sad. This was an energy mine. Fortunately, he was not a stubborn person. This kind of heartache only lasted for a short while, he started to make a small calculation in his heart again. Since he couldn't keep it, he might as well be generous and give it away. If he could use resources to exchange for the favor of the Zerg civilization, it would not be a loss.

"Lord Northfield, I didn't expect to meet you here." Alex changed his expression, in the blink of an eye, he put on a smile, took the initiative to greet him, and asked in a friendly manner: "Are you also here for the energy mine here?"

No, it's for Su Yu. Of course, this sentence cannot be said out loud.

Northfield looked at Alex and nodded slightly in response.

On the other side, the white bird turned back to the size of a palm and flew to Su Yu. With Su Yu's permission, it landed on Su Yu's shoulder. Cai Yan whispered calmly: "Alex is a worldly and smooth person, to say it unpleasantly, see the wind and set the helm[1]. I'm afraid that he will give up the location of the energy mine to please Northfield."

If you want to say who among this group of people has the strongest reaction to Northfield's appearance, it must be Cai Yan. The grudge between him and Northfield can be completely described in just a short sentence 'old hatred has not been resolved and new hatred has been added.'

However, this time, Cai Yan seemed to have some other emotions mixed with his anger. He was strangely calm. He didn't want to argue with Northfield, nor did he want to have any contact with Northfield. At this moment, Cai Yan just wanted to take Su Yu away from Northfield and Lance.

"Su Yu, let's go ba." Cai Yan.

Just at this moment, Northfield came to Su Yu and heard Cai Yan's words. His dark eyes followed and he recognized the identity of the bird with just one glance, but he still showed a hint of hesitation when he spoke: "Is this... Cai Yan?"

"Yes." Su Yu answered for him.

After getting the accurate answer, Northfield's eyes flashed with surprise. It was really Cai Yan? Why did he sense the energy fluctuations that only high-level Zergs can have on Cai Yan? Although this fluctuation was very weak and fleeting, Northfield could be sure that his perception would not be wrong. This fluctuation was real and came from Cai Yan.

After the accident, everything became calm. Northfield suddenly laughed for no apparent reason.

Facing Su Yu's puzzled eyes, Northfield gradually stopped laughing, but there was still a hint of smile on the corner of his lips. He explained softly: "Sorry, I just found something that makes me happy, I can't help it."

From the moment Northfield started laughing, the bird on Su Yu's shoulder exploded, Cai Yan said to Su Yu in a firm tone: "Let's leave!"

"Leave? Why leave? Aren't there several energy mines here ma?" Northfield's eyes passed calmly from the bird, and finally stopped on Su Yu's face, with a trace of seriousness in his expression: "Su Yu, stay, we can work together to obtain energy mines."

"With your ability, do you still need to find someone to cooperate with?"

"If you are too kind, you are either a traitor or a thief!"

"I think you have bad intentions!"

Cai Yan finished three sentences in a row, but he tried his best to resist, yet he couldn't resist Su Yu's nod. The bird that had been resisting fiercely just now suddenly looked weak.

[Unable to win in force, and unable to win in the competition for favor, Cai Yan, the young patriarch, was completely defeated.]

[The previous comment said a scary word, &%¥# competition for favor, which made me shudder.]

[Don't argue, don't argue, one will be the big one and the other will be the small one, just allocate time properly!]

[What about Lance ne? You can't do this! How can you play without Lance! They say stepping on three boats, but without Lance, can it still be stepping on three boats? !]

[Everyone, I just have one question, aren't you afraid that Northfield will come out and find you online?]

The last comment floated out faintly, the audience in the live broadcast room were chatting excitedly. When they saw this comment, their smiles froze and cold sweats came down. Courage is really growing bigger and bigger. Thinking about the early days, when they mentioned Northfield, they would delete the comments themselves, and now, they even dare to joke casually... No, this won't work.

Cai Yan stood on Su Yu's shoulder with his head down. In sharp contrast to him, Northfield stood in front of Su Yu, with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and perhaps a little bit of pride, but it was not obvious.

The cooperation between the two parties was finalized, but Alex, who was not far away, was a little dumbfounded. In order to avoid fighting, he took the initiative to offer the location of the energy mine, but how did this development become a cooperation between Northfield and Su Yu? Then what was the meaning of his active contribution?

Perhaps he was hit by this development. Alex actually began to think that what his brother Craig said before was really possible. Otherwise, Northfield's behavior could not be explained, he could not understand it a!

After the chat, it was time to move on. Alex thought about it and followed with his brother and teammates. They relied on Cai Yan to easily pass the Red River. Now they can't go back.

Northfield saw the piles of corpses of ghost tumor insects on the ground, his eyes dimmed. He should have come earlier. Now that everything here has been dealt with, how can he demonstrate his ability.

Unimpeded, until they came to the deepest part of the passage.

On the rough and uneven wall, dozens or hundreds of crystal stones were wrapped in it, with a little tip faintly exposed, flickering light red light, and the strong energy fluctuations let everyone know that this wall is where the energy mine is.

"Just looking at this wall, it's actually quite beautiful." Lance walked forward, raised his hand and gently stroked the rough wall. While talking, his hands moved without ambiguity, like an eagle claw, inserted his fingers into the wall, grasped the energy stone, turned his hand, and easily deducted one.

Lance raised a smile, he had already thought of how to naturally give this energy stone to Su Yu! The happy mood did not last too long, because Lance saw that Northfield was handing Su Yu an energy stone that was bigger than his hand.

"I forgot to bring my space storage device." Northfield looked natural, without any trace of lying: "You keep it first, we will distribute it after all the energy mines are dug out."

Su Yu believed it, because he couldn't imagine that someone would lie about such a thing.

"Come to think of it, my storage device happened to be lost." Lance took the energy stone and handed it over casually.

Cai Yan flew over, holding an energy stone in each claw. Without saying a word, he just put the energy stone next to Su Yu, then flew back and continued to dig energy stones.
