"What's the situation?"

Cassava asked quietly.

"We found this place first, and after sending someone to inform you, these people also came. They seem to be looking for something, too. A hunter whispered answers cassava's question.

Hearing this, Cassava nodded.

Hunters also have rules, first come, first served, which is an unwritten unspoken rule.

Of course, such unspoken rules are generally only possible when there is not much difference in strength between the two sides, or when there is no interest in the common goal, and if the strength of the two sides is unequal, or if the interests of the target are very large, where will there be any rules?

"What's the situation with the iron ring?" Cassava said this to ask the hook beside her, but the hunter who reported to her just now was also close, and when she heard Cassava's question, she thought it was asking him, so she was slightly stunned for a moment, and said a little inexplicably: "Iron ring?

"Didn't ask you!" Cassava replied, and seeing that the hook didn't respond to his question, he slapped his arm to attract his attention.

The two of them stood so close that Cassava's voice was not very small, and the hook naturally heard it, but what was the use of hearing it? He didn't know it! He could only answer helplessly: "You ask me, who do I ask?"

"It's useless!" Cassava looked at the hook with disdain.

The hook dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and has an indifferent expression.

The two of them whispered here, and Rob in front was also a little surprised to see the iron ring in the crowd opposite, not to mention that judging from the position of these four people, it was obvious that the man who was in the center and standing at the front was the main one.

This person has broken hair, and he looks quite handsome, obviously a man, but he has a pair of red phoenix eyes, long eyelashes, and is wearing silver-gray clothes, and a gray-white shawl on his shoulders.

This dress is noticeably different from that of ordinary hunters. As for the other three, except for the iron ring, they are all dressed like this, but in some details, they are slightly different, with more accessories or pendant chains and the like.

Both sides were scrutinizing each other, and before they could speak, they heard a man with messy hair on the left behind the man shout, "Hey, you're Rob from the little hoop?"

Rob didn't expect Tiehuan to talk about him behind his back, but he was a little surprised, tilted his head, looked past the man in front of him, looked at the man who was shouting at him, looked at it, and then smiled: "Well, I'm Rob." ”

However, the name of Xiao Tiehuan really does not match the image of Tiehuan, Tiehuan should not be able to agree, right? This guy dares to call him like this, he is not afraid of being beaten, right? He looked at Tiehuan, and sure enough, he saw that his already cold face became a little more gloomy, which is probably the relationship between hearing Xiao Tiehuan's nickname.

"Long admiration of the great name!" Before the man who shouted could speak, the man with red phoenix eyes said: "Introduce yourself, my name is Baizhu, the name of the one who just spoke is Aya, the other is called Huo Wufeng, and finally Tiehuan, you should be more familiar with him than me." ”

Hearing this, Rob felt that the other party seemed to have some misunderstanding about him, he and Tiehuan didn't know each other at all, when he was in Jiuxu before, he had only met once or twice, and he belonged to the kind of situation where he said his name and could recognize people, but other things were a situation where he didn't know about it.

However, since the other party said this, he couldn't explain it, otherwise it would be off-topic, so he only introduced himself and said, "My name is Rob...... Well, you already know. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't introduce the hook cassava and others in the back, after all, the other party didn't know what it was, if it was okay to talk about it, if it was to seek revenge, if it was introduced, it would be implicated.

Hook and cassava and others obviously understand this, when the two sides speak, they are silent, and they all have the expressions of people who eat melons.

Bai Zhu was obviously a little surprised that Rob didn't introduce a group of people behind him, but he didn't care too much, and only said: "I heard that there is a group of people in the Nine Ruins, who are searching for something...... Is it one of yours?"

"Yes!" Rob nodded, "I paid them to help." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the relationship between the two sides was even clearer, and the hook and cassava behind him burst into tears of gratitude, and they wanted to shout long live understanding, they were a group of small hunters who were at the bottom, had no background, no backing, and mediocre strength, and they really didn't dare to get involved in the disputes of the big guys.

…… It would be better if Rob could say the same thing in front of the people of the Z-horn cult and let them recognize this!

After listening to Rob's words, Baizhu smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that we also happened to be searching for something in the Nine Ruins, and we happened to collide with your people, causing a little misunderstanding. However, I have to explain that what we are looking for is not very valuable, just looking for a little clue and trying to figure out a little something. ”

Hearing this, Rob also smiled: "It's a coincidence, what I'm looking for is also some clues, and those unknown hunters outside say that we are looking for some very rare divine soldiers, which is just a rumor...... I'm just asking people to help me find some clues and figure things out, otherwise I wouldn't have spent money to hire someone to do it. ”

"That's a coincidence. Baizhu smiled.

"yes!" Rob laughed.

"The clues I'm looking for can be a bit dangerous. ”

"The clues I'm looking for can also be dangerous. ”

"I think we might be able to work together. Baizhu said, "We have no conflict of interest, and our goals are basically the same...... Maybe it's the same?"

Rob shook his head and said, "The goal is basically the same, and it is impossible to estimate it, and I think that probably no one has the leisure to do this kind of investigation with me." ”

It's not that he boasted about himself, but that it was true.

"If you can, can you tell me a clue about what you're looking for?" Baizhu asked after a moment's thought.

"Of course you can!" It wasn't something to hide, but since the other party asked, Rob told Baizhu what he was looking for, in fact, it was basically just a description of the strange illness of the North Acropolis to the other party.

After all, even he didn't know what he was looking for, but since Manda Haydn said that there might be a clue he was looking for, there was a chance that there were, but he didn't find it.

After listening to Rob's description, Baizhu fell into deep thought, and the man named Aya shouted again: "Hey, you are really good-natured! This is none of your business, what are you doing here?"

Being said to be a good person again, Rob could only smile and say, "Actually, it's not completely none of my business...... Although on the surface, it seems that it has nothing to do with me, but because of my personal vendettas, this strange disease looks like it was done by one of my enemies, and I am a little suspicious, so I came here to check it out. ”

"Although it has been figured out now, it is not my enemy, but since they are all here, then I will investigate by the way......" After speaking, he glanced at the blue mushrooms growing far and near around him helplessly, and said: "...... I just didn't expect to encounter these dangerous blue mushrooms from nowhere, which caused the investigation to become so troublesome. ”

After Rob's words were finished, Baizhu came back from his contemplation, and when he heard Rob say this, he asked a little strangely, "You don't seem to know the origin of these blue mushrooms?"

"You know?" the other person asked, apparently subtly meaning that he knew.

Baizhu nodded: "This blue mushroom, called the blue mushroom, is a very popular inducing liquid catalyst in the north. However, although it is a material, it is just as dangerous...... I don't know anywhere else, but as far as I know, the Z-Horn Cult has a place to grow Meizu mushrooms near here. ”

"It's normal for you not to know, because the growth conditions of this kind of mushroom are harsh, and the effect is very large, but the range of action is very narrow, and ordinary hunters probably don't know; ”

"It's the Z Horn Cult again!" said Cassava after listening to Baizhu's words.

Because the voice was a bit loud, or maybe Baizhu's hearing was more sensitive, he actually heard it, looked at the cassava who said this, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already met the people of the Z Horn Cult." So, nine times out of ten, the mushroom here is the seed they sowed, and ordinary people don't do it. ”

"It's true that I have a little contact with a person from the Z Horn Cult......" Rob finished speaking, looking at Baizhu with some curiosity, the four of them, none of them were wearing masks and earmuffs, and they even dared to move around these mushrooms, obviously there was some way to prevent it.

"You don't seem to be afraid of these mushroom seeds?"

"You don't know about the mushroom, and you don't know how to prevent it. Baizhu said, took out a green object the size of a small jujube from his waist, and said: "This is the seed of the beating green tree, it will emit a very unique smell, the blue mushroom and its seeds, they hate this smell, as long as you take it with you, you don't have to worry about being parasitized." ”

After speaking, he pointed to his ear and said, "I'm curious, you don't know about the blue mushroom, how did you come up with wearing a mask and earmuffs to prevent being parasitized?"

"It's nothing, it's just what you can see. Rob wasn't lying, he was just vague.

"Oh!" Baizhu nodded knowingly, didn't ask any more questions, and continued: "Continue with the previous thing. You said that your goals could not be the same as ours, but after listening to your description, I felt that it was very likely that I and you were looking for the same thing earlier. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Rob was a little surprised: "What you are looking for is also some kind of parasitic plant seed?"

"Well, it's even more domineering than you described...... It can be said that it is not just a plant, but a certain creature with its own consciousness. Baizhu said.

"Great demon?" Baizhu's words reminded Rob of Manda Haydn, in a way, Manda Haydn is also a self-conscious creature, and even strictly speaking, it can be regarded as a race, independent of humans.

"No!" Baizhu shook his head, "I don't know if you've ever heard of the legend of the World Tree Seed?"

"This ......" Rob thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of it!" After speaking, he looked at the hook and cassava and others behind him, they were also at a loss, and shook their heads one after another.

Seeing this, Baizhu had no choice but to briefly explain the cause and result of the World Tree (see Chapter 42 for details), and then said: "Of the four legendary World Tree seeds, one is said to have been obtained by the Z Horn Cult, while the other three are missing......

“…… This seed, although it has little ability, has self-consciousness and can parasitize on people's bodies, so as to manipulate people's bodies without any flaws. ”

After hearing this, Rob couldn't help but move in his heart, thinking of Luo Teng, which was also parasitized by a certain plant, but when it was parasitized, Luo Teng was already dead.

"Can a dead person be parasitized?" asked Rob.

"It should be possible, but if it is a mother, it should not look at the corpse......" Baizhu This person seemed very keen, just a question, he saw that Rob seemed to have encountered a similar situation, and asked, "...... You seem to have encountered a situation of parasitizing on a corpse?"

"Well, sort of!" Rob nodded, "There was once an enemy who was killed by me, but suddenly came back to life one day. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side suddenly spoke: "Luo Teng?"

Hearing the name on the other side, Rob suddenly realized that the iron ring was on the other side! In this case, wouldn't it be a little bad to talk about Lotten?

He glanced at Tiehuan with some concern, but the latter was still expressionless, as if nothing had happened, and did not seem to take it to heart at all.

"Huh, Tiehuan also knows about this?" asked Baizhu with a little surprise.

"I don't know. "But the enemy Rob is talking about is a member of the Ring of Thorns. ”

"Wow!" Hearing this, Aya's monster screamed and said, "No wonder when you met before, there was a conflict, it turned out to be an old grudge!"

Tiehuan glanced at Aya and said, "It's all before, I'm not so narrow-minded! I'm just curious about Rob's strength after meeting him." After saying that, he also glanced at Rob, but did not speak.

Since Tiehuan didn't care, Rob generously admitted: "It's indeed Lotten." He was dead and resurrected, and his state and appearance looked a little strange. I knew it was parasitized, but I didn't know what it was. ”

"Indeed, it's hard to say for sure that this alone is a World Tree seed derivative. Baizhu nodded: "However, according to reliable information, the reason why the military wants to clean up the Nine Ruins is because there is a seed of the World Tree in a hidden laboratory in the Nine Ruins!"

"Really?!" Cassava, who had been listening to what felt like a storyteller, finally couldn't help but exclaim at this time.

"Whether it's true or not, it's hard to determine. Baizhu shook his head and said, "But at least the North Acropolis military did find something in the Nine Ruins. They took it back, leaving only the lab. ”

"Is that the lab you're looking for?" Rob asked.

"Hmm!" Baizhu nodded.

"Everything is gone, what are you looking for a laboratory for?" Hook couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to pick up the leak?"

"How is that possible!"

Bai Shu said with a smile: "Since it has been searched by the military, there must be nothing of value left." The reason why we are looking for this laboratory is actually to determine whether this is really the case, after all, no matter how much we search, there will always be some clues left. ”
