The closer I got to the assembly area, the more I felt a chilly air, and there was a trace of mist wafting through the woods.

Foggy?

What's going on?

The sun was still hanging high overhead, how could it suddenly fog up?

The fog came a little weirdly, which made Zhao Guoqing and the Jungle Wolf's footsteps slightly soften.

Someone.

Zhao Guoqing was keenly aware that there was a person standing in the fog in front of him.

The other party just stood there, not looking like he was deliberately hiding or trying to ambush someone, but more like he was standing there and waiting.

"Further down the line, if you don't win, turn around and go back." The man standing there opened his mouth first.

Is he a security officer for the organizing committee?

It looks like this, otherwise someone would be here to warn you, and instead of a weapon, you're holding a slightly strange device, presumably for checking the chips hidden in the winning card.

Zhao Guoqing took out the winning card and said: "We have the winning card, and we are going to the assembly area." ”

Without the slightest emotion, the other party said, "Come here, I want to check the authenticity of the winning hand." ”

Zhao Guoqing and the Junglewolf walked up, and only then did they see each other's appearance, it was a white man in his thirties, with thick yellow hair and a pair of charming blue eyes.

When taking the winning card from Zhao Guoqing's hand, the security guard said to the timberwolf standing next to him: "You'd better have a winning card too, because a winning card can only allow one person to pass." ”

The Jungle Wolf reached out to get his winning card, and the security guard also put Zhao Guoqing's winning card on the instrument in his hand, and without warning, two cold lights shot out from the top of the instrument.

"Ahh Zhao Guoqing let out a muffled snort, and fell down with his hands on his chest.

Almost at the same time, the security guard jumped backwards and smashed the instrument in his hand at the timberwolf.

"Smack." The Timberwolf knocked the instrument to the ground with a punch, stared at the security guard opposite and said, "You're not a security guard of the organizing committee?" ”

The "security officer" stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and there was an extra human skin mask in his hand, revealing an Asian face, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm a dark mercenary." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Guoqing proudly, and shouted excitedly, "It is said that the leader of the hunter mercenary group is powerful, and in my opinion, it is not very good, and he died in my hands so easily." ”

"You're here for the saffron too?" The Timberwolf then asked.

"Red flowers?" The dark mercenary was slightly stunned, and then smiled shamelessly, "We dark mercenaries never work for money, only obey the orders of the Iga ninja. ”

"So you participated in the World Mercenary Classic Tournament just to kill Captain Guo?" Timberwolf asked.

The Dark Mercenary shook his head and smiled, "No, you should say us." If I fail in my mission, more people will come and kill him until the mission is completed. ”

"Okay, I see, you can die." The Timberwolf said calmly.

"Dead?" The Dark Mercenary laughed, stared at the Timberwolf and said, "Even your regimental leader died at my hands, and you think you will be my opponent... Well. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the dark mercenary let out a muffled snort, a little cold light on his heart and neck.

It was two poisonous needles, which were shot at Zhao Guoqing by the instrument in the hands of the dark mercenary before, but at this time, they wanted the life of the dark mercenary.

The dark mercenary looked at Zhao Guoqing who got up from the ground incredulously, and struggled and shouted, "You... You're not dead? ”

Zhao Guoqing clapped his hands and said with a relaxed face: "You want to kill me with only two poisonous needles, you are really too naïve." ”

The dark mercenary opened his mouth, trying to say something, but spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground.

The Jungle Wolf turned his head to look at Zhao Guoqing and said in a low voice: "It seems that things have become more complicated, in addition to Honghua, there are some guys who don't want your life for money." ”

Zhao Guoqing stared at the corpse on the ground and nodded: "The only thing I'm curious about now is, will the red flower be related to the Iga ninja?" ”

"We can't find out here, but someone can help us." Timberwolf preached.

Zhao Guoqing nodded again, sighed lightly and said, "Help me contact Danny." ”

"Yes." The Timberwolf responded, activating the communicator and contacting Danny remotely.

"Did you pass the preliminaries?"

"Or are you in trouble?"

"Oh my God, you must be in trouble, or you wouldn't have contacted me."

"Tell me, what's the trouble you're in?"

"Don't worry, I'll help you out."

..。

A series of Danny's voices came from the communicator, looking very worried about the situation of Zhao Guoqing and the Timberwolf.

"Danny, Danny." Zhao Guoqing shouted twice, and then said, "Can you calm down?" ”

Danny took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm calming down. Say it, I'm here to listen. ”

"What about the others?" Zhao Guoqing asked.

Danny replied, "Let them all go on their missions, as you commanded, so as not to worry about your situation." After a pause, he asked, "Do you need me to call them all back?" ”

"No, you can just do it alone." Zhao Guoqing said.

"What's the matter?" Danny asked, slightly nervous.

Zhao Guoqing then said: "Someone sent me a red flower and wanted my life, you can find out who sent the red flower for me." ”

"Yes, no problem, I'll pull him out!" Danny asked confidently.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Guoqing then ordered: "In addition, help me check the Iga ninja and see what is happening on their side." ”

"Easy to do. Any other commands? Danny asked.

"That's all for now. You don't have to contact us, we'll get back to you if necessary. Zhao Guoqing commanded.

"Okay." Danny answered and ended the call.

After signaling the Junglewolf to turn off the communicator, Zhao Guoqing suddenly said: "You know how to get to the assembly area, let's go first, I'll follow in a while." ”

"Be careful." The Timberwolf nodded in response, then glanced into the distance, and then walked in the direction of the assembly area.

The fog drifting through the forest is getting thicker and thicker, and the temperature is lower than before, making people feel a little cold.

After the jungle wolf walked away, Zhao Guoqing suddenly whispered in the direction of eleven o'clock: "Come out." ”

A young man with a katana in his arms and wearing a purple ninja costume that did not cover his face stepped out from behind a tree.

He was supposed to be in the same group as the dead dark mercenary, but he didn't even glance at the corpse of his companion, looking extremely indifferent, but a pair of eyes were like hounds shooting at Zhao Guoqing.

"You're alert." The purple-clothed ninja stared at Zhao Guoqing and said.

Zhao Guoqing smiled: "It's not that I'm alert, but that your hidden skills are really bad." ”

"No, I didn't even plan to hide." The purple-clothed ninja corrected, implying that if he hid, Zhao Guoqing would not notice it at all.

Zhao Guoqing felt an unruly arrogance from the other party, and at the same time remembered a person, Hattori Masada.

"You're from Hattori's?" Zhao Guoqing asked suddenly.

As if being stabbed by a sharp thorn, the purple-clothed ninja's face jumped several times, his emotions showed obvious fluctuations, and he roared in a low voice: "Although my name is Hattori Yamano, please don't pull me with those guys, I'm different from them!" ”

Hattori Yamano.

From this name, you can tell that he is indeed a member of the Hattori family, but for some reason he is unwilling to admit it, or he is not recognized by the Hattori family.

"You are very similar to Hattori Shoda, you should be a brother with him, and you don't want to admit it, so you are an illegitimate child?" Zhao Guoqing guessed.

The bastard stabbed Hattori Yamano deep into the heart like a few sharp thorns, his face seemed to be covered by a thick dark cloud, and his voice roared with great anger: "Stupid! Do you know what the consequences of provoking a male lion are? As he spoke, he reached out and slowly pulled out the katana in his arms.

Lion?

This guy is really arrogant.

However, the momentum exuded by Hattori Yamano also proves that his arrogance comes from his own strength.

The katana held in Hattori Yamano looked very ordinary, but as Hattori Yamano's true qi poured in, it exuded a hint of coldness. The blade gradually became translucent, as if it had a layer of ice, but it was not so, but the brightness of the knife itself changed.

"Buzz." The blade of the knife roared, like a beast about to escape, eager to scatter its prey to pieces.

Good knives.

Zhao Guoqing secretly praised that he had already sensed the strength of Hattori Yamano before the battle began.

Not daring to be careless, Zhao Guoqing hurriedly pulled out the dagger that was cast by the craftsman's own hands, this was the first time Zhao Guoqing had used it on the battlefield.

Unlike the sword in Hattori Yamano's hand, the dagger in Zhao Guoqing's hand was restrained and restrained, like a mortal thing.

Hattori Yamano was obviously angered by Zhao Guoqing, and without any hesitation when the blade was pulled out, a fierce cold wind slashed towards Zhao Guoqing.

Let me see the skill of the craftsman.

Zhao Guoqing also greeted him with a thought, and with a "dang" sound, the dagger and the katana collided together.

The corners of Hattori Yamano's mouth showed a subtle smile of contempt, in his opinion, Zhao Guoqing's style of play was tantamount to looking for death, the dagger would be easily cut in half, and then the katana would be split in half along with Zhao Guoqing.

But..

The smile slowly condensed on Hattori Yamano's face as if he had been attacked by the cold, and he stared at the dagger in Zhao Guoqing's hand in disbelief.

This mortal-looking dagger did not break in two as Hattori Yamano had imagined, and it did not even suffer any damage under such a powerful attack, but a thin layer of ice formed on the blade after being attacked by Saiqi.

Good knives!

Zhao Guoqing stared at the dagger in his hand, and began to sweat for it, but he was relieved after seeing that it was intact.

It is worthy of being made by the craftsman's own hands, and it can actually confront the sword head-on.
