As soon as Xu Muran finished speaking, Lu Jiuchuan saw a sharp knife pierce his chest instantly.
The blood on his chest spurted out, and he turned around in disbelief, looking at the extremely familiar Gui Lao in front of him - this man had been with him for so long, and was his most respected senior and most trusted teammate.
He had never thought that the mole in the team was actually Gui Yuanzhang!
His consciousness was quickly separated from his body. Before falling down, he only heard Tang Ci's trembling voice shouting: "Brother Ninth!"
Lu Jiuchuan's vision was completely blurred. He wanted to hold Tang Ci's hand and say sorry. He also wanted to say sorry to Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou, but he lost consciousness completely before he could do anything.
Tang Ci's eyes were about to burst, and he wanted to question Gui Yuanzhang, but Gui Yuanzhang acted very decisively. He waved the brush in his hand violently, and Tang Ci was blown away to the distance like a kite with broken strings, surrounded by flames.
Quickly wrapping his body, before his teammates could react, they saw that Tang Ci had been instantly engulfed by blazing fire!
Chu Huaying immediately covered her body with an invisibility cloak and rushed forward like flying.
Her speed is the fastest among all the people.
When the men in the crowd saw her disappearing, they hurriedly took out a white crystal ball and tried to take a picture of her. However, Chu Huaying was as fast as the wind. In an instant, she had already emerged from the fire scene. The man turned around and took a look.
, in the vast desert, where is the shadow of Chu Huaying?
Xu Muran's eyes were cold and he gritted his teeth and said: "She ran away again, hurry up and chase her!"
Several hunters nearby immediately pursued Chu Huaying in the direction where he disappeared.
Lao Mo stood there, dumbfounded. He wanted to open the invisibility cloak, but saw Gui Yuanzhang suddenly turned around and stared at him coldly, saying: "You are not as fast as Hua Ying. You can't run away, so don't waste your efforts."
Lao Mo said tremblingly: "Why...why do you want to betray everyone?"
Gui Yuanzhang's eyes were cold: "Betrayal? I have always been a hunter, so how can I call it betrayal? Joining you is just to be an undercover agent. Fortunately, in the final secret room of the two kings, I can deal with all of you at once."
As Lao Mo spoke, he backed away. He wanted to open the invisibility cloak. However, a beam of white light suddenly fell from the sky from the man holding the crystal ball, and the invisibility skill immediately became invalid. Lao Mo did not have Qinggong cards. In the blink of an eye, he was beaten by several
The hunters surrounded him. The moment his body was penetrated by the sharp sword, Lao Mo looked straight at Gui Yuanzhang, his eyes full of disappointment.
Gui Yuanzhang put away the dagger with a calm expression and walked up to Xu Muran.
Xu Muran smiled and stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Gui Yuanzhang did not shake his hand and asked calmly: "Are you sure his promise is true? If we kill the challenger in the final secret room, we can gain eternal life in the card world?"
Xu Muran raised his eyebrows: "Of course. The master's identity is one level higher than that of the gatekeeper. His words are the rules."
He walked forward, smiled and patted Gui Yuanzhang on the shoulder: "We have waited too long for this opportunity. Xiao Lou and the others are too difficult to deal with. Thanks to you hiding deep enough, you were able to succeed with one strike. Now,
The four tough guys, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan, and Tang Ci have been dealt with, and the remaining Shao Qingge can only be captured as long as the Insect King's transformation time ends."
Gui Yuanzhang said: "Shao Qingge's transformation time should be 2 hours left. You can use fire to deal with him. However, he can burrow into the sand after becoming the insect queen. We must send someone to find his location first."
Xu Muran nodded: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone."
The man holding the crystal ball asked in a low voice: "Brother Xu, what should I do with Liu Qiao?"
"We promised Liu Ying that as long as she completes her mission, we will spare her sister's life." Xu Muran narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone suddenly became colder: "We will kill the sisters Liu Qiao and Liu Ying after we have dealt with the others.
To prevent them from doing bad things."
After he finished speaking, he played a card with a sound transmission from thousands of miles away and said: "Zi Yang, start teleportation."
The man holding the crystal ball reminded: "Long Sen hasn't found it yet. Do you want to look carefully?"
Gui Yuanzhang said: "Long Sen is unconscious and has a high fever. He is only half breathing. He will not survive tonight without care."
Xu Muran smiled, waved to the two people beside him and said: "You two are here to guard, in case Long Sen is fatal..." He made a motion of wiping his neck with his hand, and the two people immediately
Nodding: "I understand, Brother Xu."
Xu Muran said: "The others will follow me back to the oasis to deal with Shao Qingge and Chu Huaying!"
A transmission was sent from the oasis, and except for the two hunters who remained, the others disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The fire burned for a long time before gradually extinguishing.
The red flames almost dyed the night sky red, and there were bloodstains all over the desert. Lao Mo fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, Lu Jiuchuan's face was full of anger when he died, Tang Ci was thrown into the fire, and no bones were left...
In the distance, the sand suddenly became loose, as if something was about to break out of the ground. Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind blew across the surface of the sand, and a cloud of dust was blown away by the wind.
All this happened just behind the two hunters, so they didn't pay attention.
I don’t know how long it took, but in the desert several kilometers away from where Jiu Ge and others were killed, a head suddenly poked out of the sand. His face was as pale as paper, and he was sitting on the ground, breathing heavily.
There are bruises everywhere on the body.
His lips were chapped and his whole body was shaking violently.
——Long Sen woke up, but he woke up at the wrong time.
The moment he woke up, he saw with his own eyes that Qu Wanyue was torn into pieces by the black mist, and heard with his own ears that Mr. Gui had rebelled and killed Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci, and Mo Xuemin!
He was turned into sand by Qu Wanyue and melted into the desert. He watched helplessly as his wife was killed and his teammates died one after another, but he was powerless. This feeling was so fucking terrible!
Long Sen held his head hard.
The man in extreme pain let out a hoarse whimper like a beast from his dry throat.
what to do?
Long Sen looked at the endless desert, feeling extremely confused. He took a deep breath, took out the grapes from his backpack, and ate them hungrily. Then he took out a bottle of streptomycin and a syringe, pointed it at his arm, and simply
A needle poked the ground.
Qu Wanyue gave him the medicine and backpack card, which was his only hope for survival. To commit suicide directly would be too cowardly, and also sorry for the way his teammates never abandoned him when he was seriously ill.
Even if he had to go to hell to accompany Qu Wanyue, he would still find a way to tell Shao Qingge the truth.
***
Oasis town, hospital.
Xu Muran led the hunters into the hospital, and Gui Yuanzhang discovered that this was the base camp of the hunters in the Double King's Secret Chamber. Xu Muran lived in the "Dean's Office" on the top floor, and Gui Yuanzhang followed him all the way.
Entering the office, he asked in a low voice: "How many hunters were sent for this mission?"
"30." Xu Muran paused and looked at Gui Yuanzhang with squinted eyes, "Why did Gui Lao suddenly ask about this?"
Gui Yuanzhang said: "With so many people, have you thought about how to distribute the rewards after completing the task?"
Xu Muran turned around with a smile, poured him a cup of tea, and said: "The mission of the Double King's Secret Room will reward two [Permanent Pass Cards], one for you and me, and of course the remaining [Survival Time Card] will be given according to the
Everyone’s contribution will be distributed. Didn’t we discuss this a long time ago?”
Gui Yuanzhang frowned slightly: "In front of me, there is no need to say these high-sounding words. As the boss of the Eternal Kingdom Guild, after you get the [Survival Time Card], you will definitely give priority to taking care of the people in your own guild. As for other hunters,
As long as the killers, like Liu Ying, are not obedient to you, you will definitely get rid of them first."
Xu Muran was exposed, but he was not angry at all. He narrowed his eyes and said: "When I saw you in the Hunter Alliance, I said that we can join forces to change the pattern of the card world. Eternal Kingdom, this guild's
I chose the name myself, and I think you should know what it means."
Gui Yuanzhang crossed his arms over his chest and said calmly: "Of course. You want to be like a gatekeeper - a chess player, not a chess piece. Any challenger who is able to pass the secret room and leave the card world,
They will all be destroyed by you. Now can you tell me why?"
Xu Muran leaned back on the chair, picked up the tea cup on the table, and said slowly: "The sun and the moon shine together, and the two kings coexist. But in fact, you should have noticed long ago that the ideas between the two kings are not consistent. As moons, we
Only by completely crushing the best team of challengers from the Sun God's side, will the balance of the world tilt towards us."
Gui Yuanzhang seemed to have captured some key point, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "What if a challenger passes the level?"
Xu Muran shrugged: "Then we hunters will most likely be wiped out."
Guiyuan Zhang: "..."
The other party's words made him frown tightly: "Destroyed? That means completely disappearing?"
Xu Muran put down the coffee in his hand and looked up at Gui Yuanzhang: "This is just like dawn, the sun rises, and the night will cease to exist. As long as any challenger clears the level and returns to reality, a butterfly effect will occur, completely changing the card
Card World. Do you understand now why I must let you stay undercover next to Lu Jiuchuan?"
A sharp light suddenly flashed in the man's eyes: "I didn't expect that Lu Jiuchuan could actually come out of the nightmare chamber of Plum Blossom J! I know him, and I'm afraid that he will bring stronger teammates to clear all the chambers, disrupting the chaos.
My plan!"
Gui Yuanzhang looked at the other party calmly: "So, you modified the information of the Intelligence Bureau to make Tang Ci mistakenly think that I was also a challenger who came out of the nightmare chamber alive, and also asked me to set up the Yuanyuan Association as a cover. The contract in Xiaolou
Sign the book?"
Xu Muran smiled and said: "I know you have been waiting for this day for a long time. From now on, apart from the two kings, the rest of this card world will be decided by the two of us. You can continue to lurk as a 'challenger'
Get up, use distant associations to find outstanding talents, and cooperate with me to kill all outstanding challengers. If this continues, no one will ever leave the card world."
Gui Yuanzhang's calm face finally showed a faint smile: "Very good."
He took the initiative to reach out and looked into Xu Muran's eyes: "Happy cooperation, Captain Xu."
Xu Muran stood up with a friendly attitude: "Thank you, Gui Lao, for your cooperation. Next, only Shao Qingge and Chu Huaying are left."
Gui Yuanzhang said: "Shao Qingge will be handled by me personally, and Chu Huaying will be left to you."
The two looked at each other and nodded to each other, reaching a consensus.

【Chapter 569, Incident】
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi had been exploring the area near the oasis for a long time. Except for Cheng Ziyang and Xue Qing, whom they had met, they did not know the other hunters.
Ye Qi suggested thoughtfully: "How about we find Liu Qiao first? If the Liu Qiao in the team is pretending to be a hunter, then the real Liu Qiao must have been controlled by them and has lost consciousness."
Shao Qingge asked: "This oasis town is very large. Where do you think Liu Qiao is most likely to be hidden?"
Ye Qi scratched his head and thought carefully, then suddenly said: "Hospital!"
"Where did you and Professor Xiao encounter the plot?"
"Well, we encountered a strange mirror maze in the hospital, and then a hand suddenly stretched out from the mirror next to Liu Qiao and me and pulled us in. Liu Qiao appeared again and stabbed Professor Xiao to death, and also stabbed Professor Xiao to death.
Kill me." Ye Qi carefully recalled the scene at that time and guessed, "I think it is very likely that Liu Qiao was replaced by someone when he was pulled into the mirror."
Shao Qingge also felt that this speculation was more reasonable. There were two times when Liu Qiao disappeared in front of everyone. One was when he was swept away by a sandstorm, and the second was when he was dragged away by a mirror. She and Lao Mo were swept away by a sandstorm.
When Brother Ninth went to the depths of the desert to find the two of them, their behavior was normal. Therefore, the most likely possibility was that they were captured and controlled by someone in the mirror maze.
It seems that it is necessary to go to the maze again.
Shao Qingge said: "I still have a copied [Tao Yuanming] card in my hand. Why don't you go wait for me near the vineyard, and I'll go to the maze to find Liu Qiao. When I find her, you can immediately open the Peach Blossom Garden and kill us."
Send it over."
Ye Qi now only has an invisibility cloak. If two people enter the maze together, neither of them can get out if they encounter trouble. One person will investigate, and the other person is ready to teleport to the Peach Blossom Land at any time. This is the safest approach.
Mr. Shao is still in the state of the insect king, and Ye Qi doesn't want to cause any trouble for him, so he simply agrees to the other party's proposal: "Okay, you have to be careful alone, and call me immediately if you encounter trouble."
Shao Qingge said: "Don't worry, there are still 2 hours left for transformation, let's hurry up."
After the two separated, Shao Qingge got into the sand and rushed towards the hospital Ye Qi mentioned.
Fortunately, the red cross mark of the hospital was very obvious. Shao Qingge headed north based on the North Star positioning and quickly found the hospital. He crawled from the sand to the back door of the hospital, squinted his legs slightly, and climbed in quickly.
.
The lights in the corridor were dim. There were many doors on both sides of the corridor on the first floor. Each door had common hospital signs such as "pharmacy" and "emergency observation room" written on it. But the strange thing was that he did not see what Ye Qi was doing.
Talk about "mirror".
Shao Qingge was just wondering when suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps behind him. He hurriedly jumped to the roof, stretched out his sharp nails with both hands, hooked on the roof like a hook, and hid in the darkness.
The Zerg's eyesight in the dark was several times better than that of humans. He could clearly see the face of the person entering the corridor from more than ten meters away - it was actually Liu Qiao!
Shao Qingge was slightly shocked and immediately held his breath and stared at the other party.
Liu Qiao walked along the corridor into the depths of the hospital. After passing two corners in a row, she walked to the end and pushed open a door with the words "Emergency Operating Room" written on it.
Shao Qingge crawled quickly on the roof and followed him all the way to the door of the operating room. He poked a hole in the top of the glass door with his sharp nails and squinted his eyes to look inside.
Then, he saw a shocking scene.
I saw a girl lying on the bed in the operating room. The girl's eyes were closed and her face was pale - she was the real Liu Qiao!
When Liu Qiao entered the operating room, his appearance suddenly changed.
A high ponytail appeared on the back of her head, and her figure seemed to have grown 10 centimeters in an instant. Although her facial features were somewhat similar to Liu Qiao's, they were much weaker than Liu Qiao. A cold light flashed on her fingertips.
, I don’t know what card was used, Liu Qiao suddenly opened his eyes on the hospital bed.
Liu Qiao was startled after seeing the person in front of him clearly: "...Sister?"
Liu Ying smiled and said, "It's me."
Liu Qiao sat up suddenly and looked at her warily: "What was the gift I received for my fifth birthday?"
"When you were 6 years old, your sister secretly bought you a robot figure with your pocket money." She stretched out her hand and gently held the back of Liu Qiao's hand: "I am real, you don't need to confirm it again and again."
Liu Qiao looked at her doubtfully: "But, I have been unable to find your whereabouts in the main city, and there is no information about you on Mr. Tang's intelligence agency network. What's going on?"
Liu Ying said softly: "After I entered the main city, I was attacked by hunters and was rescued by Brother Xu, the president of the Eternal Kingdom. In order to protect me, he hid me and made me remain anonymous. During this period,
I’ve been looking for it too…”
Liu Qiao stared into her eyes and interrupted her in a low voice: "You lied."
Liu Ying bit her lip and looked at her innocently and sadly.
Liu Qiao said: "You don't dare to look at me every time you lie to me. What's more, if you were really saved by people from the eternal kingdom, why did you suddenly appear here?! Isn't this the secret room of the two kings? You
It’s not like we were bound to a contract, and the Double King’s Chamber never mentioned that there was another team of challengers this time, so the only explanation for your appearance here is..."
Liu Qiao paused, with an ugly expression on his face, and said word by word: "Sister, have you joined the hunter camp?!"
Liu Ying's eyes suddenly turned red and she choked with sobs: "I don't want to do this either! I've always wanted to find you, but after coming out of Plum Blossom 2, there was still no whereabouts of you. I didn't dare to go to the secret room at the back alone, so I just followed
A girl formed a temporary team, but we were shot dead by escaped prisoners in the financial crisis world of 3 of Spades..."
As if thinking of that bad experience, the girl's whole body began to tremble slightly: "I was eliminated from the nightmare chamber and became seriously ill because I drank unclean water. I went around begging with a high fever, but no one gave me anything.
I could only survive five days without any food, and just when I thought I was going to die, someone suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me to do a multiple-choice question."
The man wearing a silver mask has a gentle look in his eyes.
He looked at the dying Liu Ying and whispered in his ear: "I'll give you one last chance to make a choice. Option A, if you fail to clear the nightmare chamber, you will be wiped out and you will be completely free from any pain."
"Option b, obey my orders and become a hunter. As long as you can kill other people, you can get time to continue to live. It's fair to exchange your life for time, isn't it?"
When Liu Qiao heard this, his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly: "You chose the hunter?"
Liu Ying nodded lightly: "If it were me, of course I would choose A. If I die, I won't have to suffer these consequences. But you had a car accident with me. I'm worried that you are also in this world. I want to find you. As long as I can
Just live and do whatever you want me to do!"
Liu Qiao clenched his fists hard: "Then you go kill people?!"
Liu Ying immediately shook her head: "No! You know, my sister is not very courageous. Let alone killing people, I don't even dare to kill fish. After I entered the main city, the Eternal Kingdom suddenly sent someone to contact me and said they could help me.
They took me to see Brother Xu, the president, and he gave me several [Survival Time Cards] and told me to wait with peace of mind, saying that he would help find out about you."
Eternal Kingdom, this guild Liu Qiao is very familiar with.
One of the largest guilds in the card world. It is said that the people in this guild want to continue to survive in the card world and aim to clear the game every week. Most of them have purchased real estate in the main city of the card world, and some have married aborigines.
Giving birth to children.
Now it seems that this strange guild may be the base camp of hunters!
Liu Qiao asked solemnly: "Aren't you stupid enough to believe him? He is not related to you, why should he give you a time card and help you find me?"
Liu Ying defended in a low voice: "He also graduated from Jiangzhou University. He is my senior and a fellow countryman. He said that it is not easy for everyone to live in the card world. If we can help each other, he will naturally be willing to help me..."
Liu Qiao's eyes were as sharp as a sword: "Do you believe it?"
Probably because she also felt that this reason was untenable, Liu Ying did not explain any more, lowered her head and said: "I don't believe it, and there's nothing I can do. I don't have a penny on my body. If I want to exchange for a survival time card, I have to kill someone. I
I can only stay with someone else and stay with him. Fortunately, he is very good to me and has been sending people to inquire about you..."
Liu Qiao realized something was wrong and asked hurriedly: "What then? He found out about me and asked you to come to the Double King's Secret Room to rescue me?"
Liu Ying nodded: "Yes, as long as I complete the task, we can both get the eternal life card."
Liu Qiao's face turned blue and white. Her parents were busy with work. The sisters had taken care of each other since they were young and had a good relationship. Liu Qiao knew this sister. She had a weak temper and mild "Marine's disease". She was bullied when she was a child, and she also had a good relationship.
She didn't dare to take revenge, so every time her sister would roll up her sleeves and help in the fight.
With such an obvious trap, Liu Ying actually naively thought that "fellow" would help her!
In the dangerous card world, who are the so-called seniors and fellow villagers who will help you when they are idle? You have to thank them for not killing you even if they don't stab you. That Brother Xu is obviously taking advantage of Liu Ying!
Thinking of the shock when she saw her sister for the first time in the maze, and the brief coma after that, Liu Qiao suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart. She quickly got out of bed, and was about to rush out, when suddenly,
The glass door of the operating room was kicked open, and a black shadow crawled over along the roof!
The man's eyes were red. Before Liu Ying could react, the man suddenly stretched out his long arm and grabbed Liu Qiao's arm. He discovered that he was Mr. Shao. Liu Qiao did not resist. The next moment, the scene in front of him changed. A familiar figure
The Peach Blossom Spring appears in view.
Ye Qi was hiding under the tree. Shao Qingge let go of Liu Qiao and whispered: "Liu Qiao, your sister has really caused us misery!"
Liu Qiao hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
Shao Qingge said solemnly: "She pretended to be you and killed Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang."
Liu Qiao: “…………”
The girl's face suddenly lost all color. She was about to speak when Long Sen's voice came from next to her: "Mr. Shao, I have something to tell you. Mr. Gui, he is an undercover agent placed by the Hunter.
!”
Shao Qingge was shocked: "What?!"
Although Ye Qi was horrified, in order to protect him, Mr. Shao told his teammates that he was dead. Therefore, he forcibly controlled his emotions, covered his mouth, and did not dare to make any sound.
Long Sen's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his fists and said in a mute voice: "After you left just now, Liu Ying used her teleportation skills to pull a group of hunters over to besiege us. Wanyue was killed by someone holding a crystal ball.
The man was killed, and then Gui Lao suddenly rebelled and killed Ninth Brother, Mr. Tang and Lao Mo! I was turned into sand by Wanyue and buried far away, so I was lucky enough to survive. "
After listening to Long Sen's words, Shao Qingge's expression suddenly changed, and veins popped up on the back of his hands.
Ye Qi hid under the peach blossom tree, feeling cold all over.
how so?
Returning to old age? The oldest person in the team. Professor Xiao said that he is a master of Chinese studies. He is good at calligraphy and his Chinese paintings are also well received. Everyone has always respected him and called him "senior". How could it be him?
?!
Shao Qingge gritted his teeth: "No wonder we are always followed by hunters along the way. It turns out he is the mole!"
Liu Qiao said in a trembling voice: "The first time I saw Gui Lao, I felt that the way he looked at me was a little strange. It turned out that he was a hunter! In other words, after he saw me, he notified the Eternal Kingdom
Brother Xu, let him tell my sister my whereabouts, and then they formulated this sophisticated plan to use my sister to kill us all in the final double king's secret room?"
The girl who had always been calm was finally on the verge of emotional collapse at this time. She hugged her head hard, squatted on the ground, choked and said: "I'm sorry, it's my fault... I should have noticed something was wrong when I saw my sister in the maze.
, it was me who was not cautious enough and caused Professor Xiao to suffer..."
Shao Qingge said: "Is it useful for you to say this now?"
Liu Qiao was startled. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked up at Shao Qingge and said, "By the way, Professor Xiao and Captain Yu are no longer here. Mr. Shao, you are the new captain. You can activate the [Time Recall] ss
A team-limited card! I remember this card can turn back time for 5 hours, and 5 hours ago, everyone was still alive!"
When Shao Qingge heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a calm voice sounded in his ears: "Don't use time to look back. Now is not the best time."
Everyone turned around and saw Tang Ci standing under the peach blossom tree, his clothes were burned to a large extent, but his body was safe and sound.
