Chapter 14: The Hunting Squad Takes Shape
Stopping Wu Meng, who was about to rush up desperately, Ling Long laughed: "I'm sorry, I just mistakenly thought that this uncle was an indiscriminate enemy, so I fought with my life, and now that I can't fight, it's better to disperse like this." β
"Who is the uncle?" said the macho man who stood up straight, covered the wound on his neck with his thick palms, and said shyly, "I'm just 24 years old this year!"
As soon as they heard the voice of the macho man, everyone felt a chill, the words of the 24-year-old ...... Isn't it too mature?
"Can you talk well?" the little girl in black jumped up and grabbed the macho man's ear, "Be careful with my sissy again, the old lady will get you directly!"
"Okay...... macho man bent over and conceded defeat, "I'm convinced." β
Ling Long and Wu Meng stood aside and were completely speechless, these two ...... Is it teasing?
With a light cough, Ling Long interrupted the quarrel between the two in front of him, hesitated, and spoke: "We don't know each other...... You're also a private team in Heavenly Punishment?"
"Hmph, who would team up with such a fool!" the girl in black hugged her shoulders and turned her head to be arrogant.
Laughing heartily a few times, the macho man saw that the girl in black no longer took care of him, and then he was slightly embarrassed: "We have always been very good friends, and participating in this Heavenly Punishment Battle is also to help her pass the test smoothly." β
Hearing him say this, Ling Long secretly thought that it was no wonder that this macho man thought that the two of them were teaming up privately when he saw them, and it turned out that he himself was secretly using the rules to team up to help others.
"My name is Ling Long, and my ability is primary perception. Ling Long stretched out his hand to show friendship.
"Haha, Brother Ling is refreshing! My name is Meng Yan, her name is Luo Ying, and our ability is ......"
"Uh-huh!" the little girl called Luo Ying coughed vigorously, as if she didn't want Meng Yan to continue.
As soon as he saw Luo Ying's gloomy expression, Meng Yan immediately shut up and didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only symbolically shake Ling Long's hand, and then touched his head in embarrassment.
In fact, Ling Long also had his own little abacus in his heart, although the two people in front of him felt a little naΓ―ve, but their strength was also really strong, if they really fought according to what the little girl said, he and Wu Meng had no chance of winning at all. Not to mention what kind of ability Luo Ying is, but looking at Meng Yan himself, he is already strong enough, if he hadn't been too careless and succeeded in his sneak attack, he must have become 20 ranking points on their watch by now......
Meng Yan ...... Well, Brother Meng, since the two of you are also trying to successfully complete this Heavenly Punishment Battle, and Wu Meng and I are the same, why don't you think about how we form an alliance to fight the enemy together?" Ling Long's original plan was that since the two sides were at peace with each other, and the other party's strength was so strong, it was better to take the opportunity to withdraw, lest stealing chickens would not lead to losses. But these two people didn't make him feel any real killing intent, and they didn't seem to be the ones who came specifically to play ranked points, if there was a real chance to form an alliance, then the last two days of the battle would be obviously much safer.
"Ling Long, are you crazy?" Wu Meng was the first to stand up and oppose when he heard this, "Have you ever thought that if the matter of our alliance is known to other awakened people, we will become the target of everyone and face the siege of everyone!"
"Don't worry about this matter......" Without Ling Long explaining, Meng Yan took the lead and said, "I participated in a Heavenly Punishment Battle in Hurricane City before, and similarly, there are many small teams like us, whether it is the system, or those high-level managers, almost all of them turn a blind eye. And looking for a companion to huddle together for warmth is almost the first thing that all weak people will think of, and if others don't form a team, it only means that his ability is strong enough, and he is very confident in himself...... In other words, those who can form a team will form a team wherever they go, and those who can't form a team will still act alone in the end even if they participate in the 'Team Formation Points Competition'. β
What Meng Yan said is not wrong, the strong do not need to rely on others to survive, and even want to achieve some of their own goals through such a brutal killing, and as a weak, most of them will face the risk of being eliminated if they act alone, since there is no more ambition to achieve, it is undoubtedly the best choice to survive in a group to survive in the end.
"I really can't understand what you're participating in the Heavenly Punishment for?" Wu Meng made the last resistance, "If according to what you said, then no one needs to fight, wouldn't it be good for everyone to unite as one?
Ling Long sighed, although he didn't want to, but he had to say: "It is of course the best ending to be able to unite to that extent, but that is an impossible task, everyone's survival condition is that the points are positive, so if you want to get points, you must have sacrificers, if the 300 people are our own people, then who do we have to sacrifice? In other words, even if we form a huge team, there will inevitably be unscrupulous people for personal gain, what should we do when the time comes?" Therefore, the reason why the system does not forcibly stop this kind of private teaming must have its purpose, and the failure to prevent it is a disguised recognition, since it can, why not use it?"
Listening to Ling Long's words, Wu Meng was also silent, her heart was a mess at the moment, according to Ling Long's words, she had to find a way to get points to a positive number today, otherwise everyone would start to team up to prepare for the Demon King Battle tomorrow, and the possibility of scoring by herself would be even smaller.
"You're only half right. At this moment, Luo Ying, who had been arrogant and silent, suddenly spoke, "It's true that the Heavenly Punishment Battle doesn't stop the team-up behavior, but it's because there are many support types of abilities who are also forced to participate in the competition, not for any purpose. β
Ling Long suddenly realized that he had omitted such important information, support abilities! These kinds of awakened abilities are pure support abilities such as physical enhancement or healing defense, etc., their own combat ability is not strong, but once they have the right teammates to cooperate, they will have unimaginable effects.
In this way, Luo Ying herself should be an auxiliary ability, Meng Yan is helping her at the same time she is also strengthening Meng Yan, they are not the relationship of unilateral help that she originally thought, but a small group that is closer to the ideal type than herself and Wu Meng, a brave and invincible warrior, plus a mysterious auxiliary ...... Compared to them, their decoy tactics are simply weak!
"Today's time is precious, let's just give the answer directly, the four of us have reached a cooperative relationship for the time being, and together we will face the next enemy and tomorrow's demon king battle, if you agree, put your hands up. β
After speaking, Ling Long walked up to the three of them and took the lead in stretching out the back of his hand.
Meng Yan originally wanted to agree, but when she saw that Luo Ying seemed to be still thinking about it, she had to scratch her head and wait for her decision.
"The first time I participated in the Heavenly Punishment, I encountered special rules, and it is a good thing for two more people to take care of each other......" Luo Ying finally slowly stretched out her hand and put it on the back of Ling Long's hand, "Hurry up! It's your turn!"
"Oh oh!" Meng Yan agreed, and also smiled and put his huge palm up.
"You ......" Wu Meng couldn't understand what Ling Long was thinking in his head from beginning to end, don't kill those who should be killed, and play a game of playing house here, "Play it yourself!"
After speaking, Wu Meng turned his head and turned to leave.
