Walking through the quiet woodland, the ranger captain of the Dragon Fire Guild stopped in front of a large chalky rock. He saw his first arrow lying across a field of gray pine needles. He looked across there and through the huge rock.
In the forest on one side, little red lights flashed and disappeared in the darkness, like images of wriggling insects.
There was a pool of blood at the edge of the forest, and the speckled traces snaked into the depths of the forest. The ranger captain took a sniff and found that the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which seriously interfered with his judgment.
It seemed that he had been hit, he thought, it must have been the second arrow.
He took a few steps forward and saw the second arrow. It had its shaft twisted off and abandoned on the road. It lost its arrow cluster and was stained with bloody fingerprints. Did it escape into the forest? The Ranger Captain thought again.
, but it is also possible that he is hiding in the darkness and is still fighting against the trapped beast.
He stopped and listened quietly for a moment. Under the "field of vision" of hearing, the huge rock was empty. The treetops were gently swaying, occasionally outlining the shape of the tree crown. The light came and went in the darkness. There was an occasional red light in the distance.
It turned out that others were still fighting.
But at least there was no sound around him, so the ranger captain was relieved and walked forward quietly. A winding path formed under the two high arches in front of him. He looked up and still did not dare to enter easily, but chose to go around.
A little way.
Just as he turned around, a shadow slipped out from there, and there was a soft 'click' sound - the Ranger Captain turned his head, and his forehead touched something cold - the muzzle of a handgun.
He froze in his movements. From the corner of his eye, he saw the rough and strong hand holding the gun. It was a sailor's hand. A cut was cut on his arm by a knife, but a new scab formed in a short period of time.
"You move faster than me," Baggins opened the hammer and said, "But at this distance, you can't move faster than the gun in my hand, so I suggest you don't move."
The ranger captain raised his hand and asked: "You are not a nightingale, why didn't I notice you hiding there?"
"No need to test, my level is much lower than yours," Baggins replied: "I just went to more places and learned some side techniques. Above the sea of clouds, some ancient clans know some special breath-holding methods.
"
"Above the sea of clouds, the second world?"
Baggins nodded.
The Ranger Captain suddenly lowered his hands to draw the scimitar from his waist. He made a desperate move, but his opponent made no mistake. Baggins decisively shot him in the shoulder blade. The Ranger Captain groaned, reluctantly pulled out the scimitar with his left hand, and turned around.
cut.
Baggins turned his head to avoid it and shot him again in the chest.
The ranger captain turned pale and fell on his back.
Baggins threw away his gun, stepped forward, drew his sword, and pierced the opponent's chest with the sword. After repairing the sword, he looked at his opponent again. Before the Ranger Captain died, his eyes were still staring at the sky.
He looked like he was refusing to rest in peace.
"Pity."
Baggins shook his head. He didn't know whether it was a pity that the opponent was still qualified as an opponent, or that he didn't have a chance to come up with something.
He stretched out his hand and covered the other person's eyes, making his eyelids droop.
Once the Ranger Captain dies, his teammates will naturally perceive the information from the team list.
The Iron Guard was already struggling under Siesta's attack, which was as fast as a blow. At this moment, he was distracted and seized the opportunity for the maid lady. She stepped forward, pressed the edge of the shield, and pushed hard.
Pulling away the opponent's defense, he punched the Iron Guard hard in the chest.
With a loud bang, the latter flew out.
At the same time, the lion man also used his scepter to knock out the paladin of Nazarido - in fact, from the moment the latter used frost spells to pin Luo Yu to the ground, the outcome was decided.
The big cat man then turned around and looked at the Papalar man lying on the ground: "Where is Luo Yu?"
Parker's face was swollen and he shook his head. "I saw him leading a nightingale into the woods."
"What direction?"
"behind me."
Without saying a word, Rhett chased in that direction.
…
Luo Yu looked at the swaying golden flames, but the fire made the surrounding area darken a lot. The undulating waves of fire reminded him of Doriphon. Nicol Bolas's dangerous gaze lurked in that golden,
Under the changing flames, it stared at its prey coldly.
But the fire actually came from his magic. It was a twelve-meter-long wall of fire, and the burning flames engulfed everything in its path.
Except for the enemy nightingale.
The other party can pass through the woodland silently, like a passing shadow, making no sound.
When Luo Yu turned around, a shadow took shape in the mist, and a sharp claw stretched out from it - it was a crow's beak-shaped dagger, completely black, with a thin tongue extending from the emerald on the handle, sucking in
The fire shines right up to the tip of the blade.
Luo Yu, however, seemed to have something in his heart, and turned back suddenly. The hand he had covered because of turning around was holding a sky-blue crystal pillar. The light surged in the crystal pillar, which was in sharp contrast to the silent expression on his face.
.
When the nightingale saw this scene, she looked horrified. She just had time to stab the dagger in her hand, and then she screamed and was knocked away by the light in the crystal.
Luo Yu groaned and knelt down while holding the dagger. The dagger was inserted into his left chest, about an inch and a half away from his heart.
Nightingale was not much better. She got up from the ground with difficulty. Her right shoulder was covered with white frost all the way to her lower abdomen. Her right arm was covered in frost and was black and purple, almost completely necrotic. But from the perspective of the two of them, she was certainly the older one.
The loser loses.
She looked at Luo Yu with some confusion, and she still hadn't realized how he found her.
The dagger was quenched with poison, and both of them could hardly move. Nightingale struggled to put her hands behind her back, and asked, "How could you find me?"
Luo Yu thought about this question seriously, coughed, and then stretched out his left hand.
He was wearing a pair of craftsman's gloves on his left hand. With a slight lift, a dark gold clockwork fairy flew down from the tree crown. The dark gold shell was due to long use, and the clockwork fairy had no idea how much it had gone through.
Wind and frost.
But its owner still cherishes it as before.
The clockwork fairy turned around and faced the nightingale.
"Are you still a combat craftsman?" Nightingale was a little unbelievable: "You don't know how to use other flexible structures, right?"
Luo Yu shook his head.
Nightingale breathed a sigh of relief: "If you say you can, then I won't dare to act rashly."
Luo Yu thought for a while and felt that it was indeed the case. But it was too late now, so he chose not to say a word.
Nightingale suddenly felt that this was an honest man in front of her, and couldn't help but ask: "But I clearly used the invisibility technique, how could you see me?"
"shadow."
"You're not lying to me, invisibility won't leave a shadow."
"You can't use invisibility, but you can do falling leaves." Luo Yu said concisely and to the point.
Nightingale took a breath of cold air and looked at the wall of fire that was still burning behind the other party - suddenly she was speechless. She thought that the other party's spell was to force her to show up, but she didn't expect that it was just to create
A one-way light source, nothing more.
While Nightingale was talking, her left hand behind her back was carefully groping for something. It wasn't until she held the handle of a flying knife that she raised her head again and looked at Luo Yu.
Her eyes moved: "Thank you for saying this to me, but now it's time to say goodbye."
"Indeed." Luo Yu nodded in agreement.
What does indeed mean?
Nightingale was stunned. But she didn't think too much. She pulled out her left hand from behind and threw three rays of silver light forward.
Three rays of silver light went straight to Luo Yu.
Just as Luo Yu raised his head, a light array formed above Nightingale's head, and an ice edge fell straight down from it. Before the latter could react, it was already pressed underneath.
at the same moment.
A green light shield suddenly unfolded on the clockwork fairy in front of Luo Yu. Two silver lights hit the light shield and bounced off. The third one pierced the light shield, but it had lost its strength and hit the target.
It fell again on Luo Yu's robe.
Luo Yu then let go of his hand on the dagger, which was stained with blood. He glanced at it blankly and breathed a sigh of relief. He let the other party see his control gloves and the clockwork goblin, which were actually all to distract the other party.
attention.
He was not delaying time, using the cover of the dagger to cast spell gestures.
In the end, it seemed that he was better.
A sharp warning about toxin intrusion is coming from the system.
Luo Yu stood up holding on to the tree trunk beside him and tried hard to take out the neutralizer. Suddenly he felt light-headed and his vision went dark. He fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
…
In the eyes of Assassin Twenty, the gunner's name on the team list flashed for a few times, then dimmed after the berserker and the dexterous swordsman.
Not far away, Fang Yu was also listening to the voices of Box and Jita in the communication channel: "Captain, we have almost recovered. Together with Luo Hao, we killed the gunslinger, Etila and Miss Sylvide.
Over there, we also helped Alyssa get rid of the opponent's Nightingale and Battle Craftsman."
Then came Miss Attila's voice: "Ed, just hold on, we'll be there soon."
Miss Elf's voice came from Alyssa's communication channel.
Only then did Fang Plover feel relieved and realized that the overall situation had been decided.
But he looked at the assassin in front of him. He was wearing a black and white coat and shirt, with white gloves, and was holding a cage-handled rapier. The tip of the sword was facing the ground. The emerald on the collar shone slightly in the sunlight. He was also wearing a sword.
A top hat—that top hat he had seen before.
The other party seemed to have no intention of retreating.
This is indeed what I thought in my mind.
His eyes were fixed on a message sent by the Berserker at the last moment, and he scanned it gently: "The opponent is the talented young man from Van Rick——"
He raised his sword - in fact, the two of them had met at Travelers' Rest, and he had suffered a bad defeat at that time - and later they met again at Dollifon, but this time because of Nicobo
Because of Lars and the Dragon Cult, the two never really met each other.
But after Vanric's attack, the fact that Fang Pliong and his party were Dolifen's heroes had already spread like wildfire as word of mouth spread among people.
The two of them had not seen each other for nearly a year, and Fang Plover was no longer the same Fang Plover as before. Twenty's eyes swept over Fang Plover's four angels one by one from under the brim of his hat, and he frowned slightly.
He raised his left hand and pointed to the emerald on his chest with two fingers.
But Fang Yu was the first to stop him: "Wait a minute."
Twenty's movements stopped and he looked at him.
"Your name is twenty, right?" Fang Plover asked: "Almost a year ago, I met you once at Travelers' Rest, and we were not acquainted with each other. We fought once, and we both knew each other.
I know the opponent's strength well, and now that I have four powerful angels, I may not be able to do anything to you for a while, but it shouldn't be a big problem to hold you back."
The two had fought for a while before, and Twenty Naturally knew that what Fang Yu said was true. Although he was very curious in his heart, how could the man in front of him make such great progress in just one year?
Or is it that when they fought against each other at Traveler's Rest, the other party happened to not have flexible structures in hand, so they couldn't show their strength?
But he thought for a moment and asked: "What do you want to say?"
This was the first time Fang Piao heard the other party speak. His voice was quite ordinary, not as cold as he imagined.
"Nothing, I'm just curious. Because I have dealt with you, in my opinion, you and your eldest sister are just ordinary people. I don't quite understand why you are with the Dragon Fire Guild. Could it be that you
Not worried about the consequences?”
Twenty was slightly startled, then raised his head and looked at him: "Do you care about this?"
"I'm just a little curious. You should know the reason for the conflict between me and you, but it was just a coincidence and it was caused by some personal conflicts."
Fang Yu deliberately concealed the matters related to Aitila. After all, very few people knew about this matter and the scope of its influence was not large. In fact, except for the mastermind behind it, few people knew that Aitila's younger brother
As a hired employee, Sylvide has been investigating the disappearance of those adventurers.
But even if the other party really knows some clues and has different expressions, he is not worried. Because at least he can analyze the connection between the Dragon Fire Guild and the mastermind behind it.
But the other party seemed really unaware, and there was no change in his expression.
Fang Yu then said: "And now that we have defeated your brigade, your guild is already in danger under the attack of the giant spiders and giants. As long as we take another step forward, you should know what will happen next, right?"
"
"You want to negotiate with us?"
Fang Plover nodded.
Twenty hesitated for a moment, but before he spoke, a voice suddenly came from the emerald on his collar:
"what do you want?"
It was a man's voice, serious and cold.
Fang Yu was slightly startled when he heard this - he didn't expect that the emerald was actually a communication crystal, and in addition to the man's voice, there were also faint sounds of fighting in the crystal. He even heard the 'eldest sister'
The sound came from inside.
This shows that the opponent is not in the Dragon Fire Guild Brigade, but on the battlefield.
This person must have a high status, Fang Pultru thought of this almost immediately.
There was a faint movement in his heart. This was the first time that he had truly been 'face to face' with the senior officials of the Dragon Fire Guild. But Fang Pliance did not speak directly, but asked Twenty: "Who is that?"
The voice took the initiative to answer: "I am the leader of the third group of the Dragon Fire Guild. I am fully responsible for the current mission."
If Fang Yu hadn't followed these people all the way here before, maybe he really believed it. But how could a mere regiment leader command such a large-scale operation? There were only a hundred or ten people in each guild and battle group, and they were just some very powerful groups.
Commander, being able to command two or three regiments is already the limit.
The more the other party concealed his identity, the closer he came to the truth he suspected - someone who could command such a large-scale operation must be at least a vice-president level figure.
But on the surface, Fang Yu chose to believe what the other party said——
He thought for a moment and then said: "Mr. Captain, your brigade is already here. The current situation is very clear. If I want the loot, we can actually come and get it ourselves. You don't need to do it for me."
The other party was silent for a moment and then asked: "So what do you want?"
"First, satisfy my curiosity."
"Second, Mr. Captain, can you estimate your losses if the mission fails? Isn't one-third of my price excessive?"
"Thirdly, the grudge between the 'eldest sister' and us, both sides had their own gains and losses after that, so it has been written off from now on."
"Don't even think about it!"
There was an angry scream from the 'eldest sister' over there, but it soon fell silent.
Fang Yu only looked at Twenty, as if he didn't hear the protest - to be precise, he didn't care about this trivial 'grievance' at all, and the reason why he added this was just to make his 'excuse' appear more
Just be more authentic and believable.
The man's voice over there was silent for a moment, then asked: "Friend, are you asking for too much?"
"Is it much?" Fang Yu asked back: "For example, the third point, we are negotiating a deal right now. If the deal is concluded, are you still planning to hunt us down?"
After he said this, he quickly took a breath because he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. After staying with Miss Ship Officer for a long time, he seemed to have learned to talk nonsense seriously.
"Okay, we agree in principle on this." The man replied.
"What about the second point?"
"Since you can defeat Gray Scale, we will accept this offer."
Only then did Fang Yu know the name of the Dragon Fire Guild Brigade, but he remained calm: "What about the first point?"
"Friend, too much curiosity is not a good thing."
"It's not that exaggerated, Mr. Leader," Fang Pliance asked, "I'm not spying on anything, I'm just curious, aren't you afraid of the accountability of Stargate Port?"
The man's tone obviously changed: "This has nothing to do with you."
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
He actually didn't expect the other party to answer, but the other party's vigilant reaction was enough to explain many problems - if the other party's reaction was hesitation and anger, it could also mean that the other party was bewitched and coerced by the Dragon Worship Cult.
But the man's reaction just shows that the Dragon Fire Guild is very aware of the consequences of his actions:
The senior leaders of the Dragon Fire Guild knew very well that once they returned to Earth, they would face sanctions from the Stargate Port. Based on the seriousness of their actions, they would almost certainly spend the rest of their lives in prison. But the other party still chose to leave.
What is the reason for taking such a path?
Fang Yu looked at Twenty and found that the other person's face seemed to have an indifferent expression.
This look allowed him to capture more details, which meant that not only the top brass of the Dragon Fire Guild, but even their core elite members seemed to be involved. But whether this was the case for ordinary members, he couldn't be sure for a while.
These many thoughts only flashed through in a flash of lightning.
Negotiations appear to have reached an impasse.
Fang Yu was a little undecided and asked Miss Tata in a low voice: "What should we say next? Should we relax some conditions?"
"Mr. Knight, based on your negotiation skills, you should apply further pressure."
"Right now, we have an absolute advantage. Only if you take the initiative to give in will you arouse suspicion——"
Fang Yu was a little surprised and asked: "Miss Tata, where did you learn this?"
"I am the guardian of the Great Library, Sir Knight."
Fang Plover couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
However, he looked rude on the surface, looked at the twenty-collar gem and said, "Mr. Leader, do you mean that our negotiations have broken down?"
There was silence for a long time, and then a cold question came: "Friend, it is a good thing for us to accept you as soon as we see it. Although you have a temporary advantage now, don't forget the Star Gate."
Hong Kong has been unable to do anything to us so far, and there will always be times when we have to deal with each other in the future——"
"If we hadn't met by chance, I wouldn't want to deal with you," Fang Yu replied. But he could tell that although the other party's tone was tough, the subtext was actually a sign of weakness: "Let's be honest -"
"Then what do you want?" The tone on the other end really changed.
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment before asking the core question: "I just want to know what benefits the Dragon Worship Cult has given you."
There was dead silence in the communication channel.
