Chapter 651 The Five Eyes Meeting
This statement was like a stone thrown into calm water.
The murmurs within the group grew louder.
"What kind of prop can instantly kill ten people? Ten people! Not ten scarecrows!"
"That's right. To be able to instantly kill Han Ren and his group of ten, it must be at least an S-grade attack item. We've hardly ever seen this kind of item. You could count the number of players with this kind of item on one hand across the entire Three-Eyed Clan continent."
"How could someone from mainland China (9527) possibly possess an S-grade item?"
"Besides, even if it really existed, using such a precious item to kill Han Ren and his group of ten isn't worthwhile. An S-grade item is one less you can use each time; exchanging it for ten level 44 players? Isn't that a huge loss?"
"Unless... the other party doesn't take this item seriously at all." Lie Shi's voice suddenly lowered.
Everyone looked at him.
Lie Shi's expression was somewhat solemn: "I mean, if the opponent doesn't possess just one S-grade item, but multiple items, or even... higher-grade items, then using one to kill ten people would be a piece of cake for them."
No one responded.
Because the "if" that Lie Shi mentioned was too terrifying.
Ash's complexion wasn't good either.
He walked to a slightly flat area, crossed his arms, and stared south—the direction where Hanren and the others had last been.
The fog churned in that direction, the grayish-white mist seeming to be brewing something.
"No matter who the other party is or what methods they used."
Ash's voice returned to calm, carrying a deliberately suppressed chill, "The facts are clear—Cold Blade and the other ten are gone."
No one in the group spoke.
"Be more careful next time." Ash turned to look at them. "Don't end up like Coldblade and the others, capsizing in a ditch."
"We know nothing about the enemy right now. If we rush to find them, we might get ourselves killed. Let's report this to higher authorities and get them to investigate."
......
"To whom should we report this?"
"Five eyes".
Lie Shi's expression changed.
Five Eyes – The five strongest players on the Three-Eyed Clan continent.
The name already carries weight when spoken by an ordinary player, but coming from Ash makes it seem even more serious.
Ash opened the private chat channel and found Cangwu's name.
"Boss Cangwu, something's up."
Cangwu's reply came less than three seconds after the message was sent.
"explain."
Ash briefly described what had happened.
After the message was sent, there was a silence on the other end for about ten seconds.
Cangwu's voice came through the audio, deep and steady, without any discernible emotional fluctuation.
"You mean, you haven't even seen who your opponent is?"
Ash gritted his teeth and typed back: "Yes. When Coldblade and the others were killed, we were pursuing the remnants of the Iron Banner Guild. We did not witness the battle, nor did we receive any distress signals."
There were another few seconds of silence.
"Boss Cangwu, who do you think did it?" Ash asked.
There was no immediate reply from the other end.
Ash waited for about half a minute, and then Cangwu's message came.
What do you think?
Ash thought for a moment: "I don't think it could be an ordinary player. The average level on Continent 9527 is too low. Even if there are experts, it's impossible for one person to kill all ten of Cold Blade's people. Unless... that person is not an ordinary player at all."
"You mean the top combat strength?"
Cangwu's voice remained steady, but Ash detected a hint of seriousness in it.
Ash continued typing: "Yes. Only the most elite people on the 9527 continent could possibly do something like this. Moreover, considering that Cold Blade and his group couldn't even send out a message, the opponent's strength far exceeds our previous estimates."
Cangwu was silent for a few seconds, then sent a message: "Are you sure Hanren and the others were killed by players? Not by map traps or high-level monsters?"
Ash's finger hovered above the input box for a moment.
He thought for a moment and replied, "Not sure."
After typing those three words, he himself felt it was somewhat absurd.
Ten people died, and no one even knows how they died, or whether they were killed by players.
This has never happened before.
Cangwu's reply came quickly.
"Contact us immediately if you have any questions."
"Understood, Boss Cangwu."
Ash turned off the private chat channel and turned to look at his team.
"Five Eyes will handle this," he said. "We will continue with our original mission. But—from now on, everyone must keep communication open and report your location every five minutes. If you encounter any abnormalities, send a message immediately. Don't try to be a hero."
"Understood!" the twenty people replied in unison.
..........
After talking with Ash, Cangwu did not take immediate action.
He leaned against a dead tree, crossed his arms over his chest, and closed his eyes, thinking for a long time.
Ash was someone he trusted.
He is prudent in his work, has strong judgment, and never exaggerates.
He said ten people were wiped out, so they really were wiped out.
He said he wasn't sure if it was a player who killed him, and that means he really wasn't sure.
But it was precisely this "uncertainty" that made Cangwu feel that things were a bit tricky.
They had been in the Misty Continent for most of the day.
To date, the Three-Eyed Clan has maintained a clear advantage.
Players from mainland China were like paper in front of them, easily broken.
Even if you encounter a few tough opponents, it's just a matter of spending a few more seconds.
But now, all ten people have vanished without a trace.
There were no combat records, no witnesses, and no clues.
Cangwu opened his eyes and opened a group chat.
Five people, the five strongest players on the Three-Eyed Clan continent.
Cangwu sent a message in the group: "Something happened to Ash. Ten of his men were wiped out, and they didn't even manage to send a message."
Iron Bone was the first to reply: "What?"
His replies are always the fastest because he is straightforward and never beats around the bush.
Mo Yuan's second question: "By whom?"
Shadowblade, the third: "Those trash from Continent 9527 can destroy the Ashes? Are you sure you're not joking?"
His tone was clearly disdainful—not directed at Cang Wu, but at the 9527 continent.
Zhixi was the fourth one, and she sent a question mark emoji.
Cangwu relayed the message from Ashes—ten people had died, there was no news, no combat record, and it was even uncertain whether they were killed by players.
Then the group was silent for a few seconds.
Ironbone broke the silence first, his voice message carrying a gruff tone: "Ten people, and you can't even send a message? Is Ash kid exaggerating?"
