Chapter 538: Hideous Outline
He didn't return to the camp with Horiyuan, Ning Yue still stayed by the campfire, and the probability of going back after the assassination failure was very low, so he didn't need to worry about it at all. And now that one person is here, even if the other party does come back, there will be a chance to explain.
On the contrary, going back with Horiyuan may arouse suspicion. Perhaps Horiwon's intention to hide his true intentions is far deeper than that of Jiewei, but there is no guarantee that no third person in the entire team will know, and he does not dare to take this risk. After all, the situation is too embarrassing now.
The internal response of Kaku's arrangement, the false allies of Jie's ambitions, and Horiwon's pawns for revenge, any mistake will be a catastrophe.
Slightly uneasy, Ning Yue stepped forward and pulled out the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword that flew out of his hand just now, and looked up and sighed: "Sword Spirit, I shouldn't have traveled to this muddy water at all, right?"
The sword spirit smiled: "If you let it go, it won't be like the master's style." In any case, the owner of this trip to the Giant Wood Forest has his own purpose, doesn't he? the only thing that is unexpected is the dark battle between the two eclipse shadows, and the discord within itself. ”
"I'm curious, don't the people who assign them tasks know that there is a gap in the team?
This is actually very easy to explain, not that the people in the upper layers of the eclipse do not understand their estrangement, but deliberately. The Eclipse Yin is the most secret assassination force, and the number should not be too much, and the elimination system is adopted. It's not that those who can pass the trial are qualified to stay forever. Each mission will be a new elimination trial. If the mission fails, everyone is expelled from the Eclipse Shade. If successful, the one with the least credit is expelled. And the one who has the most credit may replace him as the captain of the next operation. ”
Nodding, Ning Yue responded: "I see, in order to keep the Eclipse Yin in the strongest state at all times, not only do you have to complete the task, but also need to constantly surpass and surpass your companions? Deliberately arranging people with barriers to be together is to test the concept of teamwork in different situations, and to awaken their own stronger sense of competition. The shadow of the eclipse is really terrible. ”
Suddenly, he reacted again.
"In other words, it is likely that Gagu and Jay have the same purpose, so they made a risky move? ”
"Right now, the owner's situation is both dangerous and delicate, but it is also the most critical link that can turn the situation upside down. Who has the last laugh will be determined by your choices. ”
Ning Yue shook his head and said, "Don't be so optimistic, I can't tell which side I will become the enemy tomorrow and be hunted down with all my might." In such a complicated situation, the more I can't move, the more self-preservation is the main thing. They all have their own calculations, but why shouldn't I? Now it seems that Jun Duo's purpose should be to hunt down the strange beast with the Demon Wing Emperor Chess. Since it is the same as my purpose, it is better for me to take advantage of them, and then I will lose both sides, and then reap the benefits. ”
With a slight sigh, the sword spirit replied, "However, the time when Jun Duo will start a decisive battle with Xuan Ke's Eclipse Yin should be earlier than hunting strange beasts. It is impossible for a mature hunter to hunt a dangerous target without the safety of his own back. ”
"Sword Spirit, you seem to have forgotten a little. I wanted to get my hands on the Demon Wing Emperor Chess in the beast's body, but again, it coveted my share. What if it wasn't for the hunt, but for the beast to come here on its own? There are so many people who want to take advantage of me, so I just play a big game with them. ”
"What do you mean by the owner, the original intention, the bait?"
"Yes. However, the choice of timing is very important. I care about one thing, what is on the carriage of the Wind Yang Palace, if it is a Jun Duo thing, why is it in Xuanyang City?"
......
"Are you awake?"
When Meng Ye opened his eyes, a somewhat unfamiliar voice sounded, and in an instant, he twitched a few times like an electric shock, and subconsciously stood up and turned his head to look. On his right hand, the Condensing Light Sword blade spewed out and condensed.
Gagu looked at him and shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, this time my mission is not to take you back. Last time, it was just an old friend's request, not a direct order from the Eclipse Yin. ”
"You already know who I am?"
Gritting his teeth, Meng Ye tightened the refractive cloak he was still wearing, after these days, he didn't want to remember the identity he used to be.
Gagu smiled, "We've seen more than one side before. And, you should be able to guess who that old friend of mine is. If you use such a disguise, I won't be able to recognize you, how can he ask me? Don't think about using your identity to pressure me, I'm different from Lilda, I know that your power has long been hollowed out, and I can only scare the uninformed. ”
"So, you're just here to see my jokes this time?"
After drinking coldly, Meng Ye looked around, and his eyes began to be gloomy.
"Where the hell is this, where is Lord Ning Yue?"
"Ning Yue, a very unusual half-blood, his ability and potential can be ranked at the first-rate level in this batch of Eclipse Yin newcomers. So, I gave him a special task, something that only he could do. ”
With his eyebrows raised, Meng Ye waved his hand and shouted, "You use me as a threat?"
Gagu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, even if you are stripped of power, I don't dare to use you as a threat." The reason why I brought you here is because the next action must be done by Ning Yue alone. Otherwise, it will only be more dangerous. ”
"What's more dangerous? What did you ask Lord Ning Yue to do?"
"It's nothing, using the identity of another person's demon hybrid, he once killed my Xuan Engraved Empire's Eclipse Yin resume, so that the people of Jun Duo felt that he was useful, so they mixed in and became an internal response. When the time comes, we will join forces with us inside and outside and defeat Junduo in one fell swoop. ”
"What did you say!"
Meng Ye suddenly rushed to the front of Jiagu, and the light condensing sword blade on his wrist was handed to the opponent's chest.
"Even if it is Lord Ning Yue, such a task is a life of death!"
Glancing at the flickering cold blade, Gagu was not afraid and said, "So, I also need your strength. I know you have no name, but some people still don't, like the battalion of Nightmare Cavalry waiting outside the Giant Wood Forest. Eclipse Yin can't order them directly, so they only carry out coordination missions and will cover the retreat if our mission is successful. But if it's you, it's time to transfer. ”
"Yes, I should be able to transfer. But you have to know what the consequences will be if you transfer regular troops, and the elite of the empire, into the human realm! If you do that, it will be enough to reason that I will no longer be in name only, but will lose my only identity. ”
"In other words, in your heart, you have a nominal identity, can't compare to Ning Yue's life?"
Kagu sneered and pushed Meng Ye's arm away. Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked to the very end of the branch, looking up at the few cold stars in the sky.
"In the face of the Eclipse Shadows, the Nightmare Cavalry, who are good at charging into battle and storming cities, are of little use, and I didn't count on them from the beginning. The only one who really needs your identity is Gas, the commander of this battalion of cavalry. As long as he and a few of his guards enter the Giant Wood Forest, our odds are much greater. ”
"Garth Langton, that's what you're for. Okay, I promise you, come forward and order him to enter the Giant Wood Forest. But the ugly words are said in the front, if something happens to Lord Ning Yue, I want to kill an Eclipse Yin, and with my identity, it will be no problem. Moreover, you are not as strong as Gas. Take me to see him now. ”
"Yes. ”
Gagu smiled, knelt on one knee as he turned around, and saluted Meng Ye.
Taking a breath of light, Meng Ye raised his hand and pressed the pendant hanging on his chest, and after a shallow fluctuation, the appearance of the whole person changed, and a few strands of cherry-red hair were exposed under the brim of his hat.
"I kept thinking that I could forget the past, but as a result, I couldn't get rid of it at all. Maybe that's my life, right?"
At the moment of looking up, there was a touch of sadness in his eyes with a hint of crystal beauty.
"Lord Ning Yue, this time, I'm afraid I'm going to say goodbye to you...... Really, very reluctantly. ”
......
Tick, tick, tick.
Whew-
In the middle of the night, icy raindrops fell, which soon converged into a downpour, adding a bit of hazy to the dark night.
Staying in the small tent, Ning Yue was a little restless with a cup of hot tea, and the sound of raindrops splashing from the outside world made him a little more upset.
Horiyuan moved faster than he imagined, perhaps in order not to give him any chance to regret it, but now in this tent, she and her sister Horiya are there, and on the surface, they are talking about guiding Ning Yue's actions when Jie Wei is not there. In fact, what to do, the three of them know by heart.
"It's raining. But that's fine, there shouldn't be an accident tonight. ”
Blowing on the hot tea in her hand, Horiyuan smiled a little. But after the previous contact, Ning Yue didn't dare to trust this girl who had a terrifying and dark heart in her heart.
Horiya snorted, "Hori-won, how many times have I told you, always be vigilant. What the enemy expects is such laxity from you. The sound of rain can drown out a lot of movement, and the rain can also wash away a lot of traces. Wait a minute, after the tea, you go out and make a round. In such an environment, the original arrangement of manpower is definitely insufficient. ”
"Sister, I was attacked just now, so you can rest assured that I will go alone?"
As she spoke, Horiyuan glanced at Ning Yue.
Ning Yue understood and said, "So, I'll go with Miss Horiyuan, right?"
"You?"
Horiyuan pretended to be surprised and looked at Horiya.
Her expression changed slightly, and Horiya said in a deep voice, "Okay, since Captain Mori has let us go in groups of three, let's go together." On rainy nights, it is better to face various situations if there are more people. ”
"Hehe, I know that my sister won't leave me alone. ”
Looking at Horiyuan smiling, Ning Yue's heart was chilling.
Under the cover of the rainy night, the killing machine has .......
Whoop –
Outside the tent, the rain was falling heavier, and a low roar was heard quietly in the depths of the forest, where no one could notice. Immediately afterward, several smoke shadows walked briskly through the forest, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with each step, and the rain that flowed into it vaguely reflected the hideous silhouette of the passage above.
