Chapter 229 Prepare to Replace
Chapter 229 Prepare to Replace
"Obviously, the experience of acting as the team leader for a few days made someone start to inflate his ego and forget his original intention."
Before he finished speaking, Bei Miao's movements froze involuntarily. He turned around quickly, his eyes fixed on the figure approaching - it was Jiang Zhong, with an aura that could not be ignored.
"Xinnan once had high hopes for you, thinking that you could lead the team to glory. Now it seems that his judgment was biased." Jiang Zhong's words revealed a hint of sarcasm and disdain.
As soon as these words came out, Bei Miao's pupils shrank suddenly, and anger surged in his chest. "Li Xinnan? What right does he have to point fingers at me? How much is his evaluation worth?" Bei Miao's voice trembled with anger and echoed around.
"At least Xinnan knows how to adapt and reflect on himself. He's not as stubborn as you." Jiang Zhong retorted, his tone full of determination and disdain.
Just as Bei Miao was about to refute, a voice that could not be ignored interrupted the confrontation.
"Everyone, please pay attention. My brother, Dr. Garu, has sent important new information." Meizhen appeared at the right time, and her voice calmed the storm that was about to break out.
......
Meizhen touched the screen with her fingertips, and complex ancient texts jumped on it. She explained, "Please pay attention. This is an important discovery made by my brother, Dr. Garu, after studying ancient books in depth. What we are facing now is the most difficult Dark Five Guardians among the supernatural beasts. They have ten bacterial supernatural beasts under their command, and their power is far beyond ordinary."
"What's even more worrying is that, with the help of the technology left by King Kai, these mutant beasts have become much stronger than before. They have become enemies that we cannot underestimate." She continued in a serious tone.
Kunzhong frowned, and was particularly curious about a detail: "What exactly was the black vortex they used to escape before? Is it possible for us to destroy it?"
Meizhen turned her gaze to a specific paragraph on the screen and read slowly, "According to ancient records, the black vortex originated from the 'Black Domain', a mysterious portal connecting the fourth and fifth dimensions. It is very likely that this is where their lair is. If you want to get involved, you need to reach the speed of light to pass through it."
Dong Shan frowned upon hearing this, looking a little anxious: "So, as long as they hide in that space, we will be helpless?"
Meizhen shook her head slightly, a smile on her lips. She moved the mouse and the glorious image of Guangyingju appeared on the screen: "But please look here, maybe this is our turning point."
She explained, "The 'flying dragon' mentioned in the ancient texts actually refers to the light and shadow horse. It may become a powerful aid for us to travel through time and space and pursue the enemy."
As soon as these words were spoken, hope shone in everyone's eyes, and their expectations for Guangyingju were beyond words.
Meizhen continued, "Xinnan has successfully summoned the Light and Shadow Pony. When he returns from piano training, we must ask him for detailed information about the Light and Shadow Pony. Perhaps that will be the key to our fight against the Dark Five Guardians."
......
The atmosphere in the ERP research room gradually became solemn. Bei Miao finally broke the silence, saying in a steady and resolute tone: "I feel it is necessary to share a well-thought-out idea with you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on him, full of confusion and curiosity.
Bei Miao's eyes deliberately swept over Jiang Zhong, and he said word by word: "Regarding the issue of replacing the summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor, I think we need to re-examine it." These words were so powerful that they instantly caused ripples in everyone's hearts, and their surprise was beyond words.
Meizhen frowned, with a hint of impatience in her tone: "Beimiao, didn't we discuss this topic last time?"
"No, the situation is very different this time!" Bei Miao decisively refuted, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness. He turned and pointed at Dongshan and Kunzhong.
"Dongshan was badly wounded, and Kunzhong was also injured in the battle with the Shadow Guardian. Imagine if we could have the power of the Flame Dragon Armor, we could at least provide Dongshan with timely assistance and reduce his burden."
Dong Shan's heart was moved when he heard this. He recalled the battle he had fought alone. If he had fought with his comrades, the result might have been very different. His eyes began to flicker, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Kunzhong also lowered his head in deep thought, his eyes filled with conflict and struggle.
Seeing this, Bei Miao further elaborated: "My original intention was to make our team more indestructible and to have more strategies to deal with unknown challenges. Rather than pinning all hopes on one person. We cannot afford such a risk."
He looked at Jiang Zhong firmly, even though he knew that he might disagree: "Jiang Zhong, even if you have reservations about this, I will unswervingly promote this decision."
"I object? Why should I object? It's none of my business." Jiang Zhong shrugged, looking indifferent. He knew how the plot would develop. Zhang Jian would appear next and he would be the summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor!
Jiang Zhong also knew that Zhang Jian would betray him later, but so what? Anyway, when Li Xinnan came back, he could just leave it to him to deal with it!
Meizhen was shocked by Jiang Zhong's behavior. She stared at him with eyes wide open in disbelief, muttering to herself: Jiang Zhong, you... have no intention of defending Xinnan at all?
"So, you have acquiesced to all this?" Bei Miao also looked surprised. He had originally planned to confront Jiang Zhong directly to deal with the upcoming challenge, but he did not expect that the biggest obstacle would give way so easily.
"Perhaps, you are the only one who is so obsessed with the identity of Armor Hero." Jiang Zhong's words were a little indifferent. He shook his head slightly, as if denying a common perception.
"Don't judge everyone by your own perspective." There was an unquestionable determination in his words, and his eyes moved among the crowd, as if conveying a message.
"Besides, the Hokage Stone belongs to your team. I have no right to ask about it, let alone intervene."
After saying this, Jiang Zhong's lips curled up into a faint smile, as if all the disputes had nothing to do with him.
"You guys can discuss it among yourselves. Bing'er is still waiting for me at home! I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door without any reluctance, leaving everyone in the room stunned and in deep thought.
......
Bei Miao stared at Jiang Zhong's gradually receding back, clenching and unclenching his fists. Finally, he turned his gaze to the people present, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.
"Considering our current situation, I reiterate that I suggest replacing the holder of the Flame Dragon Armor. Do you have any objections? Imagine facing a powerful enemy, can we still maintain sufficient combat effectiveness?"
As he spoke, he looked around, looking for everyone's reaction.
Kunzhong, Xizhao and Dongshan all had complex emotions on their faces. Finally, they nodded slowly and agreed to Beimiao's proposal.
Meizhen felt mixed emotions when she saw this. She knew the weight of this decision, but she couldn't help but sigh, as if she was mourning for the possibility of losing something. But she also understood that the overall situation was more important and she couldn't become an obstacle.
Bei Miao caught this subtle change, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and excitement flashed in his eyes.
"In that case, let's take action immediately and select the most suitable warrior to inherit the Flame Dragon Armor from the descendants of the Fire Village."
However, Dongshan's response was like cold water poured on one's head. He coldly interrupted Beimiao's enthusiasm: "It's up to you to decide. I don't want to get involved in this anymore. I'm a little tired." After that, he turned and left, leaving behind an indifferent back.
Seeing this, Kunzhong curled his lips slightly, and seemed not surprised by Dongshan's departure. He glanced at Xizhao, and after the two exchanged subtle glances, they left the room one after another, leaving Beimiao and Meizhen alone to face the next challenge.
