Chapter 336: Hooks and pliers

The vines that had penetrated into the fog remained in place, and the hologram had been turned off when it left, and when it was inside, the camera ball was naturally put away.

The young hunter named Hook searched around the area, but found nothing noteworthy, and returned to the vines, waiting for his companions to call them all.

Just moments later, a large crowd emerged from the forest behind.

Most of these people are men, and only a few are women.

Under the count, there are about 30 people, all dressed with the characteristics of hunters, the color is simple, the ornaments are complex, in addition to some protective chains, you can also see some small parts similar to amulets, lucky charms and so on.

Some of the clothes or exposed skin are also printed or tattooed with some religious patterns and logos.

The hunters are a mixed group, and anyone who wears a suit of leather armor and chain mail - or even nothing at all, dares to go into the ruins of the forest and come out dare to claim to be a hunter.

The name hunter is more of a title than a profession.

Therefore, there are all kinds of people in this group, there are good people, and there are even more evil people, and the revolutionary army and the cult like to use the word 'hunter' to cover up their identity.

Of course, there are also regular hunters, that is, hunters registered in the city hunters' union, and when introducing themselves, they can show an officially recognized hunter card.

However, more than not, it is these hunters who are active in the ruin forest and exist between the ruins. In these places, there are no restraints, freedom, as long as you have the strength, you can kill people and set fires according to your own preferences, which is far easier than in the city.

This is also why it is difficult for strange hunters to trust each other, because even the hunters themselves understand that their group is not trustworthy, and there are far more bad people than good people.

No matter how bad it is, spend a while seriously looking for a trustworthy companion or a like-minded companion.

But generally speaking, the number of such hunter groups is not large, ten is already rare, and most of them are three or four people.

Like Hook and his three companions, it's a typical hunter group.

But now, they have gathered more than thirty hunters to help, and if other hunters know about it, they will probably think that they are quite powerful.

"That's where you say?" A group of people showed their abilities and soon came around the hook.

One of the young men, with many pigtails tied around his head, kicked the thick tangled vines on the ground, and his tone was very childish.

"Are you sure you can follow this thing into the fog?"

Although there are not no women in the market, most of them do some service work, and there are only a few who become hunters, especially those who can speak.

This woman has some red paint on her face, and I don't know if it is to make herself more beautiful, or to make herself uglier, or if it has some special meaning.

Because they wander on the verge of life and death all year round, some hunters are chattering about the development of cults, and even hunters who don't believe in any cults will most likely get some metaphysical things that they only understand.

For example, applying paint to the face and body, etc., some are to repel insects or mask the smell, and some are just some kind of marking, and if you want to know the cause and effect, you can only know by asking the person concerned.

Regarding the woman's question, the hook was very confident, stepped on the vine on the ground, and said: "Don't you see, Mori Mu Teng, they just used this vine to send a camera ball in, and they looked at the hologram outside...... I saw it with my own eyes and there was absolutely no problem!"

"Well, what now?" asked the huntress, "what will you do when it's done?"

This is a matter of interest that is closely related to all people, and isn't the reason why everyone is willing to come here is for profit? After hearing the question of the huntress, some of the hunters, who had been looking around, immediately became energetic and pricked up their ears to listen.

"Do you need to say that?" a hunter with a hairstyle that looked like a modern head shouted impatiently, "It's not the first time for everyone, just follow the old rules." ”

After speaking, he glanced at the people around him and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"

Some people were silent and did not react, while others shook their heads slightly, and since they did not speak and shook their heads, it meant that they had no opinion.

When the matter was discussed, the hook beckoned: "That thing waits for no one, let's all go in along the vines! I don't know what the situation is inside, everyone be careful!" After speaking, he turned around and stuck to the vines and burrowed into the mist.

The hunter of the modern head shouted, "Everyone be vigilant!"

"Less nonsense!" said the huntress, and followed the hook into the fog.

As the huntress moved, the rest of the hunters followed.

From the outside of the fog to the core area of the fog, there are more than a thousand meters in total, that is, more than a kilometer.

This kilometer-plus road is not long, but it is not short, and if it is at the speed of Tieteng and them, it will only take less than a minute.

As for the hooks, because they didn't know the situation inside, for fear of any danger in the fog, they were very slow, and it was a little faster than walking.

This will inevitably take a few minutes to complete.

A few minutes, if you are outside, it is estimated that it will pass in the blink of an eye, and you don't feel it at all, but in a state of high mental tension, it seems a little difficult.

But fortunately, since he was able to become a hunter and survive, not to mention his character, at least in terms of patience and tenacity, there is nothing to say, even if for a few minutes, he could only see the blurred back of the person in front of him, and there was silence around him, but everyone was silent, and they just lined up like this, maintaining a fixed speed, and kept moving forward.

A few minutes later, the leading hook was finally the first to drill out of the fog, and it was too late to check the situation inside, only to feel that the line of sight became clear, and the stone that had been lifted in his heart fell to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so confident when he said it outside before, but in fact, he was still a little empty in his heart, after all, it took a lot of courage to dare to pat his chest and pack a ticket just by peeking a few times from a distance.

But fortunately, what he saw was the truth, so his assurance really became a guarantee.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he began to look out, and at a glance, he saw the eye-catching huge green and white energy ball, and couldn't help but hold his breath for a while, and then exhaled for a while, and then carefully observed the situation outside.

"Coming out?"

"Arrived?"

Behind him, people came to the edge of the fog one after another, and they were soon stopped and stayed in the fog, so as not to go out and expose themselves.

The battle is fierce, and as a demon armor, not only is the battle powerful, but also the digging of the pit is also very powerful.

A group of demon armor dug up from the side of the ground, and soon dug a large pit three meters deep, revealing the roots of the demon tree that were deeply rooted in the ground, but because they were still a few meters away from the demon tree itself, these roots were still side roots, and its taproot was not found.

And when they were digging the roots of the demon tree, Jiuyan and the others were still watching coldly, with a posture that they had nothing to do with themselves.

However, whether it was Tie Teng or the other hunters, they all understood that these seven people would definitely not let them hunt the demon tree so easily, and they would definitely have the means to fight back.

Now on the bright face of the year, it is naturally this huge ball of energy, if it explodes-everyone has seen the consequences in the holographic images outside, even the overlord flower is directly carbonized and falls on people, and the consequences can be imagined.

When gradually approaching the demon tree itself, the demon armor responsible for digging the pit became more cautious and vigilant, all of them did not look at the movements in their hands, but stayed on the energy ball in the distance, and a pair of claws continued to dig in the mud pit, it seemed that as long as the energy ball was abnormal, it would immediately run away.

Gradually, a group of people such as Hook, who were observing in the fog, also saw that something was wrong inside.

At first, I thought that a few people were together to protect the people inside, but later after seeing the actions of those demon armors, I felt that something was wrong.

"What's the situation?"

"It feels weird. ”

"Didn't they already have the upper hand? Why don't they do it yet?"

"What are they digging such a big hole for?"

"It looks like I want to cut off the roots of the demon tree. ”

The hunters around them were talking, each expressing their opinions, questions, and opinions.

After looking at it for a moment, the hook suddenly said, "I understand!"

"Understand what?"

"What do you understand?"

"What do you see?"

The hunters who couldn't figure it out asked.

"There are two groups of people in this. Hook said, pointing to the side that was surrounded, and said, "The seven people who are surrounded should not be with Mori Mu Teng." Moriki Vine should be with these hunters. ”

Hearing this, all the hunters took a closer look and found that it was really as the hook said.

"And what do we do now?" the huntress asked, standing beside the hook, "There are obviously more people here, and there are even fewer seven over there...... Are we going to help them?"

"Well, I think it's better for us to see how things go. Before the hook could speak, someone said, "We're here to rob the demon tree, and it's not good to help that side." ”

"That's right!" another person commented: "I think let them fight, both sides lose, and we can pick up the cheap." ”

"Are you kidding? There are obviously many people on Mori Muto's side, do you think you can lose both? I see the current situation, even if there is any accident, it is just a one-sided crush. ”

"Don't rush yet. The hook's companion, the hunter who had the idea to spread the news, said, "Let's see what happens!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Same ......!"

Everyone agreed on the same thing, so they stopped talking, hid in the fog, and watched quietly.

The ground is so big, no matter how much you dig, there will always be a time to dig the target.

Soon, Tie Teng saw that a member of the team had made a gesture, indicating that the taproot of the overlord flower had been found, and then waited for the next instructions.

At this time, the demon tree has no power to resist at all, although the hunters have been destroying only some side roots and roots, but these side roots and roots are also effective, one or two may be useless, but there are many of them, in fact, the role of the taproot is almost the same.

It's just that the taproot is the root of life, and if the taproot is gone, the demon tree will die, while the side roots and roots are gone, but they will not be dead, and they can continue to grow over time.

After the efforts of many demon armors and demon soldiers, at this time, the place where the overlord flower took root was almost completely suspended in the air, and several thigh-thick taproots were exposed to the air, just waiting for someone to cut it off.

The tree species of the overlord flower seems to be at your fingertips.

However, Tie Teng made a delaying gesture, so no one attacked the taproot, but continued to dig towards both ends, as if he wanted to hollow out the entire demon tree ground.

After doing this, Iron Vine looked over to the ash.

He was actually a little surprised, he deliberately delayed for so long, and the person pushing the energy ball actually held on, which was really surprising to him.

What is the origin of this person?

Is it really a monster? He remembered the countless balls of energy before, and now, it was a huge ball of energy that made people shudder.

Not to mention how he gathered such a huge ball of energy, he alone could make the Overlord Flower have to use most of the white bone flower vines to fight him, and this physical power alone was enough to make people feel like a monster.

Such a person, if he is a person from the Thirteen Ruins, a person with such strength, it is impossible for him to be so obscure and ignorant, unless, he is not a person from the Thirteen Ruins.

Tie Teng thought for a moment, and decided to abandon his previous idea of disposing of the Volcanic Ash Seven, and instead maybe try to cooperate, even if it is better to suffer a little loss than to get nothing.

After thinking about it, he walked in the direction of Rob and the others.

And in the fog more than 100 meters away, a group of hunters who were peeping inside naturally discovered this situation.

"What's going on? What do the people of Moriki Fuji want to do?"

"I think you want to negotiate, right?"

"Cooperation?"

"The situation seems to be a little bit unfavorable for us. ”

"What should I do? Do you want to do it now?"

Although it is also a temporary alliance, there are iron vines on the side of Moriki Fuji and Yamu, both of which can suppress the rest of the hunters, while on the hook side, there is no one who can make a final decision, and they all have their own words and different opinions.

Some people feel that they can't be negotiated, and now it's time to rush out and mess them up.

Some people feel that it doesn't matter if the talks are completed, and there are more than 40 people in Mori Muteng, and there are seven more people, and there are not a few more, so it is better to wait, and when the critical moment comes, they are going out.

The people around talked a lot, some people quarreled, although the sound was loud, but fortunately it was more than 100 meters away from the battlefield, and the movement over there was not small, so I was not afraid of being discovered.

"Alright! stop arguing!" the huntress roared when she couldn't take it anymore, and the surroundings fell silent.

Seeing that no one was arguing, the huntress looked at the person beside the hook and said, "Pliers, you are smarter than the Professor, what do you say?"

The man called the pliers is the one who came up with the idea to spread the rumors. After hearing the Huntress's words, he thought for a moment and said, "We are all at a disadvantage in terms of strength and numbers. You can't wait for them to kill the demon tree before you do it, you have to disrupt their movements. If they hunt the Demon Tree, we will hunt them!"

As he said this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the pincer's eyes.
