Located in the northernmost snow mountain area of the Republic of Patokia in the northern part of the Hunter World, it has always been a famous tourist resort. Soaking in hot springs in the ice and snow, coupled with a plate of light and elegant food and a pot of thin wine with floating petals, is very exciting.
There is a relaxing feeling of being away from the world.
"It would be nice to live here for the rest of my life." The knight, who was the military advisor of the Phantom Brigade, put down his wine glass and sighed, "The life here is so leisurely and comfortable!"
"I don't like it here! I don't like it at all!" Feitan, a short man, said fiercely with a dark face, "And you have to line up obediently! Live according to the rules here honestly - it's too much to live like this all day.
It’s grown!”
"I feel very uncomfortable too! It's not that I can't abide by the rules, it's just that the feeling of hiding in the corner is too uncomfortable! I would rather jump out and have a hard fight with that man named Cheng Peng. Even if I can't beat him, at least I can let him go.
You know what abilities he has and how much he explores the path!" The person who said this was Finks, the second most powerful person in the Phantom Troupe. This blond man was so bored that he had fallen into competing with Wasabi.
situation.
I saw him looking coldly at the plate of pickled melons and vegetables cut like handicrafts in the wooden basin in front of him. After grinning for a while, he carefully picked up a piece, slowly but surely applied a lot of mustard, then closed his eyes and put it in
In his mouth, he let out a weird scream and took a breath, then swallowed it with tears streaming down his face - and then the next piece.
The knights who were the last in strength but the top three in handsomeness smiled and gently pushed the small wooden basin filled with frozen plum wine in front of them and sent it to Feitan: "Please be patient for a few days. The aliens who have taken refuge with us have already set out to test
Cheng Peng's strength has been reduced, and we can only wait until they bring back the results of the battle."
"The most annoying thing is waiting!"
"Staying on standby in a place like this will definitely make people crazy!"
Facing the complaints from his two companions, the knight sighed softly and looked down the mountain.
The location of the hot spring was specially selected. It is located halfway up the mountain with a wide view. You can even browse the scenery at the foot of the mountain directly from here. In the past few days, as long as he was not sleeping, he would pay attention to the foot of the mountain almost every few minutes to see what was going on.
There's nothing going on.
You can't blame him for being timid. You must know that the man named Cheng Peng is so famous that he can even be found in the Hunter Guild's legendary directory - that legendary directory is no joke, everyone in it is doing it.
Characters who have performed earth-shattering deeds are rated as three-star hunters according to the level of the Hunter Guild, and are legends at the top of the world!
Although those strangers who have a good relationship with them have categorically emphasized that "it is just meritorious service and will not be any stronger than the other four-stars", caution and caution are essential qualities for a military advisor. For a person who dares to launch an attack
It is said that the brigade is going to be eliminated, and there are still many people who think that this guy is not bragging, so you can't be too careful!
That's why the knight took his group of three people and left the bustling metropolis, came to this remote snow country town, and lived a life of near seclusion.
He has made up his mind that unless the group leader summons him or someone else obtains Cheng Peng's detailed information, he will never act rashly!
So the strategist of the Phantom Brigade took the two main members of the brigade who were among the top in terms of combat effectiveness and stayed in this small town on the edge of the snow-capped mountains for five days.
At the beginning, Feitan and Finks were still enjoying the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains and the fragrant hot spring soup with great interest. The two of them ate and drank in the hot spring. Drinking in the hot water was no joke. As a result, the two of them actually got into a fight.
I didn't have the strength to climb out, and almost drowned in the slightly scalding spring water.
But after two days, they all started to get impatient.
Fortunately, the two of them knew that the knight was definitely not a random person, let alone a timid person. Based on the trust cultivated by long-term colleagues, they continued to soak in the hot spring patiently and carried out the order of "never act rashly without information."
.
After a while, Feitan had already drank several bottles of plum wine and was lying on the wooden stand on the side of the hot spring, fast asleep; while Finks successfully defeated the plate of pickled melons and was gargling the juice while laughing loudly.
Laughing, even the knight himself was gradually getting sleepy in the warm spring water.
Maybe... nothing happened today... Just as he was thinking this, the cell phone placed by the hot spring pool suddenly rang.
The knight grabbed the phone and looked at the number and knew that it was one of those female strangers with whom he had a good relationship.
"How's the situation? Did you test Cheng Peng's strength? What? Say it again! What's going on? Actually...I know...you did the right thing! Stop acting rashly and wait for me to think carefully before giving orders.
! Don’t worry, I’ll be fine! That’s it, be careful yourself, contact me if you have any questions, goodbye.”
He put away his phone, looked at his companion who had regained consciousness and was watching him, waiting for an explanation, and sighed deeply.
"That Cheng Peng is more difficult to deal with than we expected!" The handsome face was full of gloomy murderous intent, "Bo Jin and Nobunaga were killed by him."
Ten minutes later, the three well-equipped people returned to the hotel in the small town at the foot of the mountain.
The vacation time is over, and from now on it’s time to prepare intensely.
Xia Ke, Feitan and Finks carefully studied the photos that Cheng Peng posted on the forum and were screenshots taken by female players. In the photos, Wo Jin looked miserable, with scars all over his naked upper body. At a glance, it was clear that he had fought a fierce battle with someone.
, it can be judged from the shape of the muscles that he also caused a considerable degree of damage to his opponent, but he was defeated in the end and died in a fierce battle; while Nobunaga did not have many scars on his body, except that his right shoulder had a weird shape.
, seemed to be broken into pieces, and there were some damages on his clothes at the back, which may be the fatal injury.
"How on earth did that bastard do it?" Finks said in confusion, "Wojin and Nobunaga normally act together, could it be that he actually beat them both to death one against two?"
"This is impossible!" Feitan objected immediately, "Wojin and Nobunaga's combat power is far more than one plus one equals two. I don't believe there are people in the world who can beat them two to one like this!
"
"This possibility is indeed very small." Xia Ke also supported Feitan's opinion, "I think Wo Jin and Nobunaga met their opponents separately, or were defeated by others after they separated... You see, Nobunaga's injuries are very serious.
Less, which means that he was subdued quickly, and the serious injury on his shoulder may have been caused when the enemy subdued him. His sword was still in the sheath, which meant that he did not even have a chance to draw it out - in other words
In other words, the opponent is either incredibly fast or extremely good at sneaking and hiding."
"As for Wo Jin, his situation is clear at a glance: he met the enemy head-on, fought a head-on battle, and lost. This shows that the enemy is a stronger enhanced system than him - of course, it does not rule out that he was in an abnormal state at the time, such as being drunk.
Or fatigue or something..."
The three of them were clearly not present, but they used a few photos to recreate the battle situation exactly. If Cheng Peng were here, I'm afraid he would be applauded.
But unfortunately, no matter how reasonable their analysis is, it is of no help at all.
"A man who can kill Wojin head-on and subdue Nobunaga in an instant... If we fight head-on, we have no chance of winning." The knight's voice was very low and deep, but filled with murderous intent, "The captain and the others should also have received the news...
...Fortunately, everyone's whereabouts should not be exposed, so now everyone is in the dark, and it depends on who can seize the opportunity... Since the establishment of the brigade, it is not that we have not encountered opponents stronger than us, but we have won them all
!As long as we make appropriate arrangements, we can kill even three-star hunters!"
"Of course!"
"I'll leave it to you to come up with the idea. In short, I will implement it resolutely!" Finks said fiercely, "Anyone who dares to take action against our brigade...even if it means death, I will kill him!"
Thousands of miles away in the Hunter World, in the lounge on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena, Hisoka was talking to Cheng Peng.
"I didn't expect those two guys, Wojin and Nobunaga, to be killed by you like this..." Hisoka's face was still calm, and he obviously didn't care about the death of his two fellow Phantom Troupe companions. "It's just as I expected.
You are not a suitable target for a duel either!"
Cheng Peng smiled and said nothing, waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
When Hisoka suddenly invited him to the Sky Arena, it was definitely not just for a chat.
"I remember you said you owed me a favor, right?"
"That's right."
"I don't care about being killed or anything, but I want to ask you to take action to deal with a very troublesome guy." Hisoka said, "Let me tell you, I joined the Phantom Troupe just to win the battle with the leader Ku.
As long as I can get the chance to duel with Luo Lu Xilu, I don't care even if I die in battle or die after the fight..."
"I can't guarantee this." Cheng Peng said, "Whether it's a duel or not, you have to go find Chrollo."
"Well, of course I'm not so naive as to think that I can use your pressure to force him to duel with me... I want to ask you to help me get rid of the person who has been getting in the way and preventing us from dueling."
"I only promised to save you once, and never promised to help you kill someone." Cheng Peng shook his head and rejected Xisuo's request.
"Don't leave in a hurry!" Hisoka grabbed him and stopped him from getting up and leaving, "You still don't know who that person is!"
He didn't bother with his habitual pretense anymore, and said bluntly: "The person I want you to take action against is called Madge, and she is also a member of the Phantom Troupe, and she currently lives near the Sky Arena."
Cheng Peng sat down and stared at Xisuo, waiting for him to continue explaining.
Of course he knows that Madge - one of the old members of the Phantom Troupe, is good at using mind threads. He is not only a master, but also an excellent surgeon. He can even use mind threads to reconnect severed limbs intact.
His skills are amazing.
Originally, Liu Yuanyang did suggest that he deal with Hisoka and Ma Qi who were exposed first, but Cheng Peng considered that he owed Sisuo a favor after all, and Ma Qi was a woman - he was not the kind of person who suffered from "I don't kill women."
"A passionate young man with secondary symptoms, but under the same conditions, he would indeed consider killing men first.
But since Hisoka exchanged that favor, it was different... Cheng Peng looked at Hisoka who had a serious face, thought for a while, and finally nodded.
