"Did you hear correctly?"
A moment later, in the Ruialik ruins, between several broken and ancient walls, several figures belonging to players appeared in the field of vision of Duan Qing and others, looking around cautiously like mice: "Here
Is there really anyone?"
"I can confirm that I really heard someone shouting just now."
"People shouting? What are you shouting for? Help?"
"No, no, no, it's more like a shout of surprise, like something was discovered..."
Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing let out a helpless sigh. After hearing this, they both glared at the giant ax warrior beside them. The latter hurriedly pushed his hands and smiled dryly.
Indicating to continue listening: "You mean, someone discovered the secret of this ruins?"
"I really want to say that, but now I can't even find anyone..."
"You're not really hallucinating, are you? I remember you're only eighteen years old, right?"
"Do you understand what we call eternal eighteen? There are so many people claiming to be eighteen, no, that's not right! I really heard that right!"
Seemingly giving up on finding the intruder who might exist here, the thief-like player who answered finally jumped out of their hiding position, waving the silver dagger in his hand at the other companions.
They shouted: "If you don't believe it, I, Kombani, will go search for it right now! I will bet on my all-pervasive reputation!"
"Okay, okay, no need to go." Among the crowd that gradually dispersed, another warrior player who had been talking to him before smiled and replied: "Anyway, it's our fault whether we believe you or not.
Already invincible. But..."
"Since we arrived at this place in advance, I think the other party should also be able to think of such an idea." He looked around and whispered in a wary tone: "The boss has also reminded me of similar things before.
Let's be careful that the other party comes in advance to ambush us..."
"We are already two hours ahead of schedule, and they can actually be earlier than us?" A female magician player wearing a black cloak and holding a staff, whose appearance could not be seen, asked in confusion: "Just to meet each other.
It’s just noodles, does it need to be used to this extent?”
"There is no way, after all, there are many things like talent or luck that cannot be compared." The warrior player who was previously responsible for leading the team replied in a low voice: "Since everyone can work hard on 'hard work'..."
"Then you are naturally more prepared than anyone else."
His eyes swept across every corner of the ruins, including the far side of the hillside where Duan Qing and others were hiding. Then after a period of silence, he directed the others in the team to turn to the other end of the ruins. This belongs to this
The entrance steps leading to the underground ruins are also located deep in the direction they chose. The surrounding curved walls and the dome steps that have not yet collapsed block the light from above. Walking to this place
The warrior players in the area then carefully searched for traces around them, and finally slowly put down the long sword they had been raising under the gaze of everyone: "I didn't find anyone else coming... Then here it is.
Bar."
"Behind or below?"
"Down below? You mean hiding in the entrance to the ruins? Hmm, although it is a way, but if you are attacked by monsters in the ruins..."
"Aren't the monsters in the ruins almost dead? Those underground magic sources have been destroyed a long time ago. As long as we lurk near the door, there should be no accidents."
"It seems that he came here to be a swordsman."
Duan Qing once again withdrew his downward observation gaze and no longer paid attention to the movements of the group of people. He once again pressed his back to the other side of the rock where he was: "Fortunately, we chose the place well. The actions of these guys are all under our control."
Under his nose."
"They may not know that there is no one here." Xueling Huanbing, who also withdrew his gaze, also shook his head: "The guy who looked like the captain seemed to have glanced here just now. He should have realized that there was an ambush here.
possibility.”
"They are all Yin people's experts. Who doesn't know who's capable?" Asahi Dongsheng looked at the foothills in the distance and then commented in a low voice: "I guess they are probably because it is too far away from the ruins. Even if they activate
The reason why a surprise attack is ineffective..."
"What do you mean, do you know those people?"
"Of course, the leader's name is braised dog meat." Asahi Dongsheng replied expressionlessly: "He is one of the members of the Red Lotus Gang I just introduced."
"What? It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Duan Qing's eyes widened again: "Whoever we say will come? What are they doing here?"
"How do I know? Anyway, those people just now are from the Red Lotus Gang." Asahi Dongsheng turned around and lay down on the other side of the rock again, casting his gaze forward and replied in a low voice: "Look at how it looks now.
, probably because he wants to ambush someone."
"As long as no one comes from the other side of the hill, our place is still safe." Having said this, he glanced around the rocks: "So don't make any noise, just sit here and watch the show... Hehehehe
?”
A shadow then covered the light on his upper left, blocking what he just wanted to say as well as the sound of the wind around him. The figure belonging to Violet then became like a stone pillar standing in front of several people, with a gray color.
His cloak suddenly appeared in the middle of the rocks where Duan Qing and others were ambushing him. He covered up the exclamation he wanted to make with both hands. With a look of panic on his face, Asahi Dongsheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull this person who suddenly stood up for some reason.
The purple-haired woman who got up pulled her down, and when the other party didn't react at all, she cast her help-seeking gaze in the direction of Duan Qing: "Quick, quick! If you don't hurry, you will be discovered!"
"……What's wrong?"
Duan Qing reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the purple-haired woman. Duan Qing stood up helplessly and then stared at Violet's face. Then, after looking at each other with plain eyes for a few seconds, he asked in a low voice:
"what have you found?"
"..."
"Forget it, let's hide it first, okay?"
Facing the still silent response, Duan Qing looked at the other party's eyes sincerely, and then when the woman obeyed the order and squatted down again, she let out a long breath: "Although I still don't know how to communicate.
, but luckily she can still listen to what I say... huh?"
While hiding again, he set his sights on the distant ruins that Violet was looking at just now, and then under the observation of Xueling Huanbing and Asahi Dongsheng who also reacted, he included the figures of another group of players who were gradually approaching.
Within his sight: "Be careful, be careful! Hurry!"
"Hey, I chose such a place, and it's clear that I want to arrange people... Captain, where are we hiding?"
"According to the request of the guy just now, we can just hide near the door. If there is any problem, we can have a response."
"Okay brothers, come with me!"
Shadowy footsteps led the group of players towards the other end of the ruins, and soon disappeared behind the broken wall in the sight of Duan Qing and others. Duan Qing, who understood the hiding place of the group of people, also followed him.
Xueling Huanbing, who was standing next to him, looked at each other and whispered in a sighing tone: "It's really a dog versus a dog... Chaori Dongsheng, do you know these people?"
"The distance is too far, so I can't see clearly." Chaori Dongsheng's voice came from the other side of the rock: "But... it may become clear in a while."
"……how do I say this?"
"Since two groups of big guys want to meet here, it's probably for negotiation or something like that, and there are only two or three people who have problems with the Red Lotus Gang, except for the White Lotus Sect that has been destroyed... Tai Lun
The Divine Religion, and the Holy Crystal Alliance."
"It's probably these groups of people."
Time passed slowly as Duan Qing and the others fell silent again. With the expressions of several people holding their breaths, they were guarding every direction of the ruins. The wind from around the ruins seemed to follow this movement.
As the atmosphere solidified, it became colder and colder, and even the howls of wild beasts that originally sounded in the nearby wilderness became much less numerous. Duan Qing, who had made up his mind to spend time here, naturally didn't care.
The passage of time and the state of waiting came to an end when the sun rose to noon. The two teams, each with more than a dozen players, were slowly walking from the left and right sides with the sound of quiet footsteps.
Entering the range of Ruialik's ruins: "...Red Lotus Gang!"
"Don't speak with such deep resentment, we are here to solve the problem."
Like a gang meeting, the group of players gradually gathered in the center of the ruins. A certain warrior-like person belonging to the Red Lotus Gang walked out of his team with a smile: "After all, if we continue to fight like this, it will not be good for the people on both sides of us.
,Yes or no?"
"...You are right, otherwise I would never agree to your request."
After looking around the left and right of the ruins, a guy who looked like a gang leader standing on the other side of the crowd slowly walked out in full view of everyone: "Guishou and the others have been bullying people too much recently, and the demands they made are becoming more and more unreasonable.
If they are allowed to continue to be so arrogant, we in the Holy Crystal Alliance will be in trouble."
"As expected of the leader of Psalm, he can take it up and let it go." The leader of the Red Lotus Gang laughed loudly: "So... you agree?"
"Wait a minute."
Reaching out to stop the opponent from moving forward, the player known as Psalm suddenly darkened his face: "It's not impossible to agree, but this condition... we have to consider it carefully.
"
"Oh? If the boss of the Holy Crystal Alliance has any other suggestions, feel free to tell them."
"We want 70% of the profits from the castle railway line."
Pulling the corner of his mouth lightly, the leader of the Holy Crystal Alliance calmly looked around the ruins: "In addition...if there is a conflict with Ghost Shou and the others, you must come to our aid."
"It's easy to talk about assistance. After all, our relationship with Ghost Shou is not very good." The leader of the Red Lotus Gang smiled and lowered his head: "But the 70% of the railway profits..."
"After all, you are the ones who came later. It's already great to be able to give you three achievements."
Taking a step forward that shook the earth, the leader of the Holy Crystal Alliance said loudly with the gravel and dust falling around him: "In the past when we were fighting for territory, we would have never been able to make such demands as empty-handed white wolves.
Promise, understand?"
"The problem is that you don't have the final say on your own, right? What about the Ax Gang?"
"We will solve the Ax Gang's problems ourselves!"
With a heavy wave of his hand, the leader of the Holy Crystal Alliance stared domineeringly: "Do we agree or not? Just one sentence!"
"...Okay, this seems good." The soldier from the Red Lotus Gang, who was not affected by the opponent's momentum and stood there for a while, finally nodded slowly: "Then...it's settled.
?”
"Very good, I guess you guys know each other." The smile at the corner of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, and the leader of the Holy Crystal Alliance gradually led his players to the dividing line: "We will cooperate more in the future, Colorful Emmanuel."
"Of course, whoever regrets it first will be a beast."
"Then the commercial negotiations are over."
After shaking hands with the other party, the player named Shengjing then extended his hand to the gang members standing side by side behind him and said: "Where is the little girl who is going to complain privately? Let her come out!"
"She is the secret weapon and trump card of our Red Lotus Gang. How could she just come out just because she wants to burn you two rude people to death?" He stretched out his hand and coded the gang members behind him into the same line, and was called
The warrior with the colorful aura also had a sneer on his face: "If you have any ability, come at me, you losers."
"Okay! He is a man who stands up for his brothers!" Psalm let out a loud sneer: "But it's too stupid!"
"Fuck me!"
Just like a street fight after a gang boss flipped the table, two teams of players who were very close to each other instantly fought together with sudden loud shouts. The brilliance of fighting spirit and magic also broke out in the sight of the two groups of people.
With several streaks of white light rising from instant death, it flew across the sky above the ruins. After retreating from the crowd to the rear of the battlefield, the leader of the alliance, Saint Crystal, who carefully observed the situation on the battlefield, frowned.
Then, when two more members of his own team fell to the ground again, he waved vigorously in a certain direction behind him: "Black Duck! Come out!"
"Are these the people you're calling?"
No reinforcements appeared as he expected, and a faint voice appeared at the entrance of the ruins instead: "I'm sorry, they all seemed to have set up in advance."
"What?" Psalm exclaimed and turned his head: "Who are you?"
"The boss of Shengjing is really a noble man who forgets things... No, maybe we have never met at all."
Jumping down from the wall of the ruins, the player named Gedman smiled and put the big sword on his shoulders: "But..."
"I still remember all the dirty things your members did in my group."
