"You met?" The Timberwolf asked, slightly surprised.

Zhao Guoqing nodded and responded: "His name is Hattori Yamano, and he is from the Hattori family." ”

"Huh?" The Timberwolf looked like he was saying, how could you not fight, why did both of you come here intact?

Zhao Guoqing shrugged his shoulders and said that he couldn't explain it clearly.

The Timberwolf then said, "I'm a little weird. That guy's skill is as high as level ten, but his combat power is only level three, could it be that there is something wrong with the controller? As he spoke, his eyes turned to Zhao Guoqing.

Zhao Guoqing knew that Danny had installed the strength detector he had taken from the Pentagram Organization on the Timberwolf, so the Junglewolf could see at a glance the strength of a person and where his weaknesses were, which would help him play his strength in battle.

The strength detector is definitely not bad, and the reason why it can't correctly detect your strength is because your physical strength is different from the way ordinary people operate, as for Hattori Yamano...

That guy will definitely use a special true qi control method, which can avoid the reconnaissance of the strength detector, but the power on the ** can't be hidden no matter how disguised it is.

Combat effectiveness level 3?

I don't know if the values in Hattoriyama will scare the timberwolves when they are in full fire.

"Let's not talk about this yet, let's go inside." Zhao Guoqing opened his mouth to speak.

After the inspection of the security guards, Zhao Guoqing and Cong Congjiu handed over the winning cards and successfully entered the assembly area.

The so-called assembly area was nothing more than a place carved out of this strange jungle, and there wasn't even a tent in it, let alone any buildings.

However, there is fragrant food here, and it is available in unlimited quantities.

Hattori Yamano sat alone in the corner with a roast leg of lamb, and the arrival of Zhao Guoqing and the Timberwolf had no effect on him at all, as if he hadn't seen anything, focusing on the leg of mutton in his hand.

Zhao Guoqing secretly observed that Hattori Yamano ate a total of two roast lamb legs and drank two pots of beef soup, and he didn't know how his stomach was contained.

The timberwolves don't need to eat, so they just wait by Zhao Guoqing's side.

Zhao Guoqing ate some bread on beef soup, and then found a place to sit cross-legged like Hattori Yamano, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to recuperate.

There are only three contestants in the entire assembly area: Zhao Guoqing, Timberwolf, and Hattori Yamano, which may be because the bandit mercenary group intercepted a large number of contestants before.

However, before the time for the competition was about to arrive, the crowds began to arrive here in droves.

Because Zhao Guoqing threw nearly 30 winning cards into the river, plus some of the winning cards were not found at all, only 51 people finally passed the preliminaries.

Among these fifty-one people, Zhao Guoqing saw several familiar figures.

The two mercenaries who were injured by the bandit mercenary group and took away the winning cards were lucky, they found two winning cards in time and rushed here, but unfortunately the reality is as they say, even if they pass the preliminaries, what can they do? Like them now, even if they are lucky enough to participate in the preliminary round, they will only be eliminated, so the mood of the two is not high.

In addition to these two people, there is another person who is very familiar, and that is the oil rat.

The Grease Rat was the last to arrive at the assembly area, so to speak, stepping on the point in time to enter here.

As soon as he entered the assembly area, the two little eyes of the oil rat scanned around keenly, and immediately found the farthest place from them and squatted down after discovering Zhao Guoqing and the Timberwolves, perhaps because he was afraid that the Timberwolves would find him trouble.

In addition to food, the organizing committee also arranged an emergency doctor here to provide simple treatment to the wounded mercenaries, ensuring that they could enter the preliminary round to fight.

The interval between the preliminaries and the preliminary round was very short, and after the preliminaries were over, Zhao Guoqing and others boarded the transport plane hidden in the assembly area in advance and began to go to the preliminary race site.

At noon the next day, Zhao Guoqing and others arrived on the general freighter, and in the following period, four transport planes sent the winners of several divisions to the freighter.

The situation of the other divisions is basically the same as Zhao Guoqing's division, although each division has a hundred winners, but there are not so many real winners, and only 388 people can participate in the preliminary round in the five divisions combined.

To be honest, this number was far lower than the organizing committee expected, but the preliminary round went ahead as scheduled.

On the ship, Zhao Guoqing and others learned that the venue of the preliminary competition was on a small island in the open sea.

The rules are basically the same as in the preliminaries, except that the time has been shortened to 12 hours, and the winning cards are only 50.

In 12 hours, 388 men fought for 50 winning cards that were hidden somewhere, and it was an out-and-out battle, and those who landed on the island were equivalent to landing on the island of death.

No one knows what's going on the island, and the only one who knows about it could be their enemy.

Perhaps because everyone who goes to the Island of the Dead may not be able to come back alive, the organizing committee has designated this time to be a fun trip to the island.

Wine, gambling, women, fighting rings, just about anything imaginable can be seen on ships, and most of them are so oblivious to having fun that they forget for a moment what fate awaits them.

Zhao Guoqing did not participate in any entertainment projects, but hid in the room to continue cultivating, and the timberwolves took this opportunity to observe the strength of each participant.

In fact, in the preliminaries, he was put on a grease rat and made the timberwolf a little angry, and he wanted to find the grease rat to make the other party suffer.

Zhao Guoqing was in the room, but he had a sense of crisis, and he knew better than anyone that at least half of the three hundred and eighty-eight people wanted his life.

Zhao Guoqing, who was closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the door, and he had secretly deducted a flying knife in his hand to guard against it.

"Dangdangdang." There was a knock on the door from the outside.

If it was an attacker, he would never knock on the door, so Zhao Guoqing guessed that the person standing outside the door might be someone he knew.

"Who?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

"Head Guo, it's me." There was a sound of an oil rat outside the door, and he asked in a hurry, "That..." I have something important, can you let me in? ”

Zhao Guoqing got up and went over to open the door, and the oil rat immediately squeezed in from the outside, and the two pairs of thief eyes were still looking out.

"Thank you." After making sure that there was no one behind him, he preached to Zhao Guoqing gratefully.

"Is something wrong?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

The oil rat immediately squeezed out a smile and said to Zhao Guoqing: "Head Guo, you really don't hear what is going on outside the window, don't you know what's going on outside?" ”

"What happened?" Zhao Guoqing asked curiously.

"On the surface, it seems that the people outside are singing and dancing, but in fact, everyone is nervous and busy, striving for their ability to win in the preliminary round. ”

Zhao Guoqing frowned slightly, he didn't understand too well, the preliminary competition hadn't started yet, what could people do?

"Forge an alliance." The oil rat first said two words briefly, and then explained in detail.

It turns out that the so-called alliance is that the weak mercenary group sneops on the strong mercenary group to ensure that they can win the fame in the preliminary round to the greatest extent.

Judging from the information obtained by the oil rat, there are currently at least five alliance leaders outside, led by the top five mercenary groups.

However, this ranking is not a real mercenary group strength ranking, such as the Black Bear Mercenary Group and the Wild Lion Mercenary Group did not send any personnel to participate in the name of the mercenary group.

For the overlords of these two mercenary groups, they prefer to stand on the sidelines and use this opportunity to select some outstanding mercenary talents for their own use, rather than consuming their elite strength in the competition.

Adam can be said to be the busiest of all the participants, in addition to achieving excellent results in this World Mercenary Classic to prove himself, the other task is to observe the scene and recruit outstanding talents to join the Wild Lion Mercenary Group first.

According to reliable sources, in the preliminaries, Adam's division was the one with the least number of people except Zhao Guoqing's division, and one of the major reasons was that some outstanding talents had signed an agreement with Adam to withdraw from the game in advance and join the Wild Lion Mercenary Group.

Even at this time, Adam was secretly in contact with the participants on the ship, trying to poach the best talent into his team before the personnel were damaged.

After listening to the explanation of the oil rat, Zhao Guoqing asked curiously, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

"Because I want to make an alliance with you." The oil rat preached with a serious face.

Zhao Guoqing was slightly stunned, and stared curiously at the oil rat.

Judging from the intelligence of the oil rat, the mercenary group with the best chance of winning the preliminary round is the top five mercenary group in the competition, why doesn't he choose those people, but chooses himself?

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the timberwolf stood outside the door, and the grease rat saw the timberwolf like a mouse seeing a cat and rushed behind Zhao Guoqing to hide.

"Is that you?" The Timberwolf stared at the oil rat with a grim expression.

"Hey, Wolf God." The oil rat poked its head out from behind Zhao Guoqing and said hello, with a dry smile on his face.

"What are you doing here?" Timberwolf asked.

This sounds like he is asking the oil rat, but in fact he is asking Zhao Guoqing, because no matter what the oil rat says, the jungle wolf will not believe it.

Zhao Guoqing smiled slightly, and suddenly understood why the oil rat wanted to find himself to form an alliance, because he was afraid of the jungle wolf, and the only one who could guarantee that he would not die in the hands of the jungle wolf was himself.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons. The feud between the timberwolf and the grease rat had not yet reached the point of killing him, otherwise the little mouse would not have survived until now.
