Chapter 977: Useful Information

"Eyes...?"

The people in the room looked at Chen Jun-nan, their expressions full of doubt.

"Yeah!"

"Tsk, 'eyes' as a weakness...? Zhou Liu pondered for a moment. "That doesn't make sense... Hasn't anyone ever attacked Xuanwu's eyes all this time?"

"You don't say, you're not wrong." Chen Jun-nan smirked. "Guess who has the biggest guts in the entire Zhongyan Zhidi?"

Zhou Liu sighed after hearing that. "Tsk, I think you three have pretty big guts."

"Well, you're mistaken there. Among us three, my courage ranks third, since I often get totally baffled when things happen." Chen Jun-nan laughed. "Lao Qiao gets baffled intermittently, while Lao Qi never gets baffled."

After listening, Jiang Ruo-xue was a bit baffled herself. "Huluwa young master baffled brother, weren't you talking about who has the biggest guts...? What's that got to do with getting baffled or not?"

"Jiang Dajie... how did you end up using my dao title like that? Are you trying to deify me here?"

"If you won't admit you're called Chen Jun-nan, then I have to give you a name, don't I?" Jiang Ruo-xue replied.

"Alright, since Jiang Jie has spoken, I'll play the role of the baffled emperor today." Chen Jun-nan said. "If you're asking me what 'bold' has to do with 'baffled,' I can only tell you that sometimes I get so scared by this damned place that my mind goes completely blank. But some people are just weird—they don't get baffled no matter how ridiculous things are, and they can even come up with solutions for you."

"You're talking about Qi Xia...?"

"That's right." Chen Jun-nan nodded. "Lao Qi once said that he used a knife to leave countless holes on Xuanwu's body, even stabbing it into the other's eyes, but it never died. If I were to fight Xuanwu one-on-one... I'd just keep getting baffled, Lao Qiao might get baffled intermittently, but only Lao Qi could be that decisive."

"But that contradicts what you said earlier, doesn't it?" Jiang Ruo-xue said. "You just mentioned that Xuanwu's weakness is its 'eyes,' but if Qi Xia already tried that, doesn't that mean it doesn't work?"

"Tsk, I think so too." Zhou Liu said. "There are plenty of bold lunatics in Zhongyan Zhidi, so over all this time, someone must have tried attacking Xuanwu's eyes."

"So, are the 'eyes' really a weakness?" Jiang Ruo-xue asked.

"First, I need to clarify one thing..." Chen Jun-nan said. "The only thing we can confirm right now is that 'eyes' are indeed a weakness for many of the higher-level ones here, but usually, 'eyes' doesn't refer to their own eyes."

Chen Jun-nan casually picked up a pen from the table and gestured with it in his hand.

"Lao Qi once left wounds on Xuanwu, but Xuanwu seriously injured him in return, leading to his death. That shows the two were facing each other at the time... which means Xuanwu's 'eyes' aren't on the front, but somewhere else."

After hearing this, Jiang Ruo-xue and Zhou Liu blinked in surprise, and even Yun Shi-jiu nearby looked a bit baffled.

"Do you even hear what you're saying...?" Jiang Ruo-xue asked. "'Eyes' aren't on the front... so they're on the back?"

"Why couldn't they be on the back?!" Chen Jun-nan said confidently. "Do you all remember what that female lunatic looked like...? Her hair was extremely long, long enough to wear as clothes, but why did she need such long hair to cover her back?"

"You..." Jiang Ruo-xue was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Have you ever seen anyone with eyes on their back...?"

"It's because I've seen it... that's why I'm saying this." Chen Jun-nan said. "Jiang Dajie, you have no idea... after that white-skinned snake took off his clothes... his back was covered in 'eyes'!"

"White-skinned snake..." Jiang Ruo-xue thought for a moment, feeling that the description sounded familiar.

Seizing the moment, Chen Jun-nan told everyone about the matter of "implanting" eyes into the body.

After hearing this, Zhou Liu's expression changed several times. There was no denying that the intelligence Chen Jun-nan brought this time was crucial.

This seemed to explain everything. No wonder those Shen Shou possessed the abilities of Can Yu Zhe and could have so many at once—it was because certain parts of their bodies grew eyes belonging to the Can Yu Zhe.

"Tsk..." Zhou Liu paused. "So, to truly kill a Shen Shou, we need to find the 'eyes' and destroy them..."

"That's right!" Chen Jun-nan said. "Doesn't that solve the problem? Think about it—if we can blind the 'eyes' on their bodies, won't they just become ordinary people?"

Zhou Liu nodded seriously. "Tsk, that's definitely useful information. Tell me about the 'eye point array diagram.' You've really helped out big time this time—the 'Cat' will remember this favor."

"Wh-what diagram?" Chen Jun-nan blinked.

"The 'eye point array diagram,' of course..." Zhou Liu looked at Chen Jun-nan in confusion. "Tsk, you know, where exactly these Shen Shou's eyes are located and all..."

"Ah, come on, Jie, you're just teasing me..." Chen Jun-nan laughed awkwardly. "If I knew something like the 'eye point array diagram'... wouldn't I be getting chased around by these Shen Shou every day...?"

"Tsk, you..." Zhou Liu slowly widened his eyes. "Are you kidding me...? You sound like you're sharing useful info, but when you think about it, it's completely useless... That thing is Xuanwu! Are we supposed to lift up her hair and check her back?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't ask me!" Chen Jun-nan said in a panic. "You all combine your skills and see if you can come up with something like a 'volley of arrows' combo attack. Wouldn't it be great to just cover Xuanwu's body with them?"

"Tsk! Stop talking nonsense..." Zhou Liu said. "Do you really think of Xuanwu as a scarecrow...? Is she going to stand there spinning in circles for us to stab?"

"You..." Chen Jun-nan waved his hand. "Then go figure it out! Jie! Isn't that the 'Cat's' job?"

After hearing that, Zhou Liu's eyes darkened as he stared at Chen Jun-nan. "Tsk, smart guy, say that again—who's job is it?"

"Uh..." Chen Jun-nan choked up. "I-I mean... I can help think of a way too!"

"Hold on..." Jiang Ruo-xue paused slightly after listening and interrupted the two.

"What is it, Jiang Dajie?"

"Do all the Shen Shou have 'eyes' on them...?" She rubbed her forehead, a bit puzzled. "I feel like there might be exceptions..."

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Ruo-xue organized her thoughts and said, "Xuanwu, Baihu, even Qinglong... thinking about it that way, there's no issue, since their extra 'eyes' could be covered by hair or hidden under clothes... But what about Zhunuque?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the image of Zhunuque appeared in Chen Jun-nan and Zhou Liu's minds—that completely naked, emaciated man.
