Apocalypse: Starting with an infinitely evolving luxury RV

Chapter 920 Forging the Illusion Ring

Seeing Chang Weijie's anger, Lao Jiu pretty much understood what was going on.

It must have been Zhou Meng, Zhu Leiting, and others who made a mistake, which is why Zhou Meng's communicator ended up in Su Chen's hands.

Lao Jiu had no intention, nor any need, to hide anything, so he told Chang Weijie the whole story.

"Ninth Brother, you have really disappointed me!"

Chang Weijie sighed.

"I just feel that if Zhou Meng isn't allowed to do it, he'll always have a thorn in his side."

"And I also feel that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"I just didn't expect Zhou Meng to fail in the end."

"This was my unauthorized action; please punish me, Chief Cave Master."

Old Nine had already considered the consequences when he agreed to Zhou Meng's request.

Therefore, he appeared completely at ease, showing no intention of escaping.

"Forget it, what's done is done, there's no point in pursuing it any further."

Chang Weijie patted Lao Jiu on the shoulder and said earnestly,

"I just hope that from now on, you won't do this again."

Lao Jiu's personality actually suited Chang Weijie's taste quite well.

In addition, after he joined Ling Shu Cave, he helped Chang Weijie on many occasions.

Chang Weijie felt a little reluctant to punish Lao Jiu.

"Please rest assured, Chief Cave Master, I will never do that again!"

The ninth brother said respectfully.

"That's good. Let's discuss how to deal with Su Chen."

Chang Weijie's original plan was to launch a surprise attack on Dragon City and catch the Watchers Alliance off guard.

But with the deaths of Zhou Meng and Zhu Leiting, his plan fell through.

"The previous plan must be revised."

Chang Weijie's expression was solemn.

"Ninth Brother, Ma Ming, Ye Zhaohui, give the order to tell the brothers to get ready."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll march on Dragon City!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Yes, Chief Cave Master!"

……

On the other end of the phone, Su Chen also didn't stop working after hanging up.

Zhao Man, Luo Xiaotian, Peng Jing, Zhang San, Qu Fanbin, and others were all summoned to his office.

"...That's the situation. What are your thoughts?"

Su Chen glanced around at everyone present and said calmly.

"What can we think about? Since they refuse to negotiate, let's just do it!"

Wang Yan was the first to speak.

"I also think so."

"We need to be prepared now, they might call us tomorrow."

Others echoed this sentiment.

"President Peng, what do you mean?"

Su Chen's gaze fell on Peng Jing, who had remained silent.

“I’m not very familiar with Ma Ming and Ye Zhaohui, but I’m very familiar with Chang Weijie and Lao Jiu.”

Peng Jing spoke slowly.

"Old Nine has a calm and steady personality, just like the most skilled hunter."

"Chang Weijie is exceptionally intelligent and can be considered a genius."

"The two of them working together will be quite troublesome."

"Therefore, we must be extra careful and not be careless!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded slightly.

"What Chairman Peng said makes a lot of sense."

"From this moment forward, Dragon City is under martial law."

"President Peng will lead the team to manage the area inside the city, while Captain Zhao will be in charge of the area outside the city."

"Qu Fanbin and Zhang San, you two vice presidents, immediately restart the special operations team and send people to find out the whereabouts of Ling Shu Cave."

Su Chen's orders were relayed in an orderly manner.

Everyone took action.

After the meeting ended, Su Chen did not rush back, but instead went to find Gu Yunlong again.

After all, no one in the entire Watchers Alliance knew more about the Ling Shu Cave than Gu Yunlong.

Unfortunately, even Zhou Meng failed to gain Chang Weijie's trust and was excluded.

Not to mention Gu Yunlong, who was just one of Zhou Meng's subordinates.

Su Chen asked several times, and only after confirming that he could not get any more information about Ling Shu Cave from Gu Yunlong did he give up.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot."

Su Chen was just about to get up and leave when he slapped his forehead.

"I remember you're a D-rank spirit artifact master. You crafted Zhou Meng's illusion ring, right?"

"Yes, Boss Su."

Gu Yunlong nodded respectfully.

"Back then, Director Zhou was able to break free from Boss Su's grasp thanks to the illusion ring."

"Actually, I'm very curious, how exactly did he escape?"

Su Chen asked with great interest.

When Zhou Meng stopped using his illusion magic, four illusions appeared on the spot.

But all four illusions turned out to be fake.

"The working principle of this illusion ring is actually very simple."

Gu Yunlong began to introduce Su Chen.

"It can be used in advance to set a coordinate somewhere."

"As long as you are no more than one kilometer away from the coordinates, you can use the ring again to instantly teleport back to the location of the coordinates."

"While you are using it, it will create four illusions running in different directions in place, thus confusing others!"

It turns out that all four illusions were fake; the real Zhou Meng had already escaped!

No wonder I couldn't catch him.

Su Chen continued to ask,

"Then why didn't Zhou Meng use the illusion ring this time?"

"The illusion ring is a one-time use item; it will turn to ashes after use."

Gu Yunlong explained with a wry smile,

"Director Zhou asked me to make a second ring for him a long time ago, but the materials needed for it are really hard to find..."

"Hard to find, huh? I have plenty here."

Su Chen waved his hand and took out a list, handing it to Gu Yunlong.

Even the Brotherhood and the Spirit Pivot Cave don't have enough materials to forge a second ring, so how could you possibly have any?

Gu Yunlong was somewhat unconvinced, but he casually took the list.

When he saw the contents of the list, his eyes widened and his mouth gaped open.

There is no other reason.

The list of materials was simply a dazzling array.

Not to mention the materials needed to craft the illusion ring, it also has all the materials needed for other magical artifacts.

In addition, there was a lot of material that Gu Yunlong had never heard of before.

Just by hearing its name, you know it's exceptionally rare and precious!

"How about that, is it enough?"

Su Chen smiled.

"Enough...enough!"

Gu Yunlong stammered.

"How many days will it take you to build it?"

"Three days!"

Gu Yunlong thought for a moment and then held up three fingers.

"Okay, then I'll give you three days."

Su Chen paused for a moment, then took out another forging blueprint.

"After you finish crafting the Illusion Ring, I would like you to help me create another batch of Burst Beads."

The power of the Bursting Beads has already been proven in Su Chen's battle against the Lava Clan.

At the same time, it detonates a large number of explosive beads, which even a C-level superhuman cannot withstand.

Gu Yunlong picked up the blueprints for the Exploding Beads, and after only a few glances, his face showed shock.

I never expected there to be such a wondrous and powerful magical artifact.

"No problem, Boss Su, don't worry!"

Gu Yunlong said respectfully, his previous disrespect now completely gone!
