Chapter 470: Rat
At this particular moment, almost everyone became speechless by Xu Feng's conduct.
He knew that DeathLingers was one of the rats, but rather than exposing them on the spot, he forced them to undergo a ridiculous amount of tedious work.
It was as if he was teasing them to choose two options: one, come clean and expose yourself, or two, continue to pretend and get work like a dog.
Naturally, DeathLingers had chosen the first option and decided to come clean.
"So I've been exposed. What do you want to do?" DeathLingers took a seat on the ground, showing zero sign of resisting.
Though the truth was that he had been exhausted, especially with the last phasing move that wasted all the remaining mana he had.
Although the Divine World didn't have something like negative mana, one would still feel extremely exhausted from low mana and stamina.
Truly, Xu Feng was extremely devious and shrewd to force him into such a checkmate.
No matter how and where he reacted, it was a lose-lose situation overall.
"A decisive man indeed." Xu Feng nodded, not a bit surprised that DeathLingers wouldn't attempt to struggle or argue like some third-rate villain when they got caught in the act red-handed.
"But before I make any judgment, the person who will decide first is SilentWhisper." He added, giving her a light push to the front.
From this incident, the person who was a victim was SilentWhisper.
Had it not been for his swift reaction, then with SilentWhisper's reaction time and movement speed, she would have been three-shotted by the third activated Gargoyle.
Without protection from the tanks, a DPS class like a sorcerer, especially when caught off-guard, would usually result in a quick death.
Meanwhile, SilentWhisper was finally enlightened by how her blunder didn't garner Xu Feng's fierce scolding.
'So it wasn't a blunder but DeathLingers' orchestrating from behind.' SilentWhisper pursed her lips, feeling somewhat relieved but also bitter at the same time.
Xu Feng didn't have a change of heart like she had thought. Rather, it was because he knew she wasn't the one at fault, and thus, avoided the fierce scolding treatment.
Shortly after being pushed to the front to decide DeathLingers' fate, SilentWhisper was caught in a dilemma. She came here to participate in the raid to make Xu Feng regret ever calling her a bad player.
How was she supposed to know how to deal with all these complicated intertwined regarding rats and whatnot?
Amidst her dazed, she felt her shoulder lightly being patted. She lifted her chin up, only to see that usually despicable mask Xu Feng.
"If you can't decide, then I don't mind taking over." Xu Feng's calm and collected tone echoed through her ears.
Without hesitation, she quickly nodded her head, clearly refusing to be a part of this mess any further. A second later, she dashed ahead and returned to Steelshot's side.
Meanwhile, the focus was now placed upon DeathLingers and his seemingly nonchalant attitude when caught. He remained seated, with zero intention of trying to sabotage such as activating the other inactive Gargoyles.
Of course, DeathLingers most likely concluded that even if he activated the remaining Gargoyles, it would pose no difficulty to them now that they had been familiarized with its offensive and defensive moves.
As Xu Feng calmly took a few steps toward DeathLingers, Carmen tried to warn Xu Feng that it was dangerous to get too close to him.
"Careful, Raid Leader." She held him by the wrist, clearly not trying to allow him to take such a massive risk.
After all, DeathLingers was an Assassin and Xu Feng was the only Cleric in the team. Unless Xu Feng had a revival item, the raid would be over if he were to be slain here.
Naturally, Carmen didn't doubt Xu Feng had a few prepared. But it was still better than wasting it pointlessly.
"Relax, if he really does that, then there's really no hope for him anymore." Xu Feng lightly said and patted her hand, reassuring her that he wasn't foolish enough to lower his guard.
Carmen pursed her lips before sighing softly. "You always tend to do unimaginable things."
Having said that, she released her grip and allowed Xu Feng to proceed forward.
A few seconds later, Xu Feng arrived in front of DeathLingers, their current distance was totally ideal for DeathLingers to make a move and no one would be able to help him in time.
However, DeathLingers remained still, almost as if he had no interest at all in actually striking him.

"You're not making a move huh?" Amused, Xu Feng continued, "Or are you thinking it's another trap?"
There was no response.
Since DeathLingers was wary and might believe it was a trap, Xu Feng informed the others to quickly trigger all the Gargoyles. Their current combat could totally handle it, but the problem was that Xu Feng would no longer be scrutinized.
If all Gargoyles were active, they needed to pay full attention to them without being distracted.
"Should we really activate them all?" Veronica furrowed her brows and asked Carmen.
Carmen didn't respond and glanced at Zhao Kai, who promptly shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression. Without a doubt, the people who had interacted the most with Xu Feng in this group were them.
Hence, they knew exactly that once Xu Feng made a decision, it would be hard for it to be changed. His stubbornness was quite well-known.
"Can you tank two Gargoyles simultaneously?" Carmen smiled and asked him.
With a cold smirk on his face, Zhao Kai laughed, "I can do this all day."
"Then let's do this!"
Shortly after, the two began activating two Gargoyles, prompting the rest to be in disbelief. They gazed at each other briefly before shaking their heads and following Xu Feng's command as it was.
The somewhat tranquil field after a long battle commenced once again, but this time, two people were out of the fight in advance.
"Now, are you going to make a move?" Xu Feng inquired calmly now that no one had their eyes on them.
