Chapter 208: Deterrence

The strangers who stayed behind saw the Dark Dog and his party marching towards the Thorn Flower with a fierce attitude, and knew that the show was coming, and at the same time, they wondered if one day, they would follow in the footsteps of the Thorn Flower. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mad walked in the forefront, and the strength of the 26th level of the Stranger was proud, and he was confident that he would not be able to find anyone who could match him in the banquet. As a diamond-level powerhouse, President Dark Dog has long been interested in competing for the title of Jinan's No. 1 Guild, and all he lacks is a strong enough subordinate.

Today, years of operation have finally borne fruit, and the strongest among the ranks are like forests, and there are also unborn geniuses like Li Mad among the supernatural ones. Behind Li Mad was a tall, thin man, his face was scorched, his eyes were sunken, and he looked skinny.

If you evaluate this person just by looking at the appearance, it would be a big mistake, this person's name is Li Chen, the second-in-command in the dark dog team this time, the level is 24, and his strength is not weaker than Lin Xun, and even a line stronger!

This kind of luxurious team walked in the crowd, it was really unstoppable, and in the direction where the dark dog was going, everyone automatically retreated, and they didn't even dare to make contact with these guys.

Li Mad carried the scimitar and said as he walked: "The people above have explained, as long as they can kill all the people who took the thorn flower, they will be rewarded with a three-star weapon, which is very tempting." ”

"Hehe, it's easy to kill them, this rule is a bit troublesome, you can't do it directly." Li Chen laughed gloomily twice, and rolled his eyes: "Let's teach them a lesson first, one person breaks one hand, so that there will be a good show to watch when the duel is played tomorrow." ”

Another Dark Dog member agreed, with a hint of concern in his words: "Stability is the best, and if you don't complete the task, the guild's punishment will be terrible." ”

Speaking of the word punishment, everyone except Li Mad trembled twice, the rewards of the Dark Dog Guild for rewarding the members below were extremely rich, and the punishment was also terrible, many of them saw their companions around them, because of the miserable death in a dark hut.

No one knows what happened inside the hut, but the hut was poorly insulated, and you could hear the tingling of knives cutting your scalp, screams of despair, and the tyrannical laughter of your torturers.

Li Chen swallowed his saliva, he is also a person who likes to abuse, but he doesn't like to be the object of abuse, looking at the thorn flower and his group's eyes are even more hateful, for the sake of reward, in order to be unpunished, they must die.

On the other side, Huangya and Xiaomei stood behind Wren uneasily, and after the iceberg trip, they subconsciously made Wren the backer, omnipotent, and said: "Wren... What to do? ”

Jiang Yuan, Huang Xie, Hank, and Ma Datou were all dark and frightened, and they saw Li Maan's strength, and there was no chance to resist.

The demon Li Ghost also said that in addition to the banquet duel, although cannibalism is not allowed in private, as long as no one is killed, it will be fine, and the scope of this 'no human life' is very wide, from small to bruises, to broken limbs, all within the scope of not killing people.

Wren's heart was clear, the light on his hand flashed, and a diamond-shaped crystal appeared, the moment the crystal appeared, a cold and destructive air flow filled the air, spreading wildly outward, and the yellow fang, who was closer to Wren, trembled unconsciously, and jumped back a few steps, his face full of shock.

The devastating aura swept through the audience, and the dark dog and others who were rushing towards Ren were stagnant, as strong as Li Mad is pupils shrank, his spirit was highly tense, and the touch of death was caressing his skin, what was that Ren holding in his hand? Can he feel a tingle from such a distance?

"That's ... What is it? There was suppressed anger in Li Mad's tone, and his plans for today were interrupted one after another.

Li Chen looked at the diamond-shaped crystal, with fear on his face, shook his head, and said, "Yes, I haven't seen it, but it must be a dangerous thing." ”

The strength of Li Mad surged around him to resist the aura of destruction, and he snorted angrily: "Can this kind of thing scare me off Li Mad with this kind of thing? ”

With that, he continued to walk over, and the dark dogs behind him looked at each other, even though they knew that the crystal was dangerous, they still had no choice but to follow up. The consequences of offending Li Mad are similar to the punishment of the guild.

When Li Mad entered the place in front of the Thorn Flower, Wren grabbed the Star of Destruction in his hand and shouted coldly, "Stop! ”

Li smiled wildly, spun the big knife with his fingers, and then pointed at Wren with a clenched clench, and said, "Just that thing in your hand?" ”

This guy is really arrogant, Wren's heart sank, only to activate the full power of the Destruction Star, but this is very likely to be out of control, and if you are not careful, it will cause an explosion, and you will definitely die at that time.

For a moment, Wren was undecided, this action was like lighting a fuse the length of a bomb's thumb, and after ignition, you had to extinguish it before it exploded, it was too dangerous.

Seeing that Li Mad smiled disdainfully, and the power gathered on the big knife, Wren gritted his teeth fiercely, and the destruction star in his hand lit up with a little light, just like the stars in the night sky, and then, a nearly tenfold dense aura of destruction erupted, and the cold death was within reach, and everyone in the entire hall trembled, and the heart seemed to be tightly pinched by a big hand without temperature.

The aura of destruction has a strong corrosive force, and the closer people get to the Destruction Star, the stronger the feeling, the skin begins to appear red and swollen, and Wren, who is holding the Destruction Star tightly, has numb and numb hands and loses consciousness.

The destruction as if the end was coming calmed Li Mad as he pointed at Wren's big knife and froze in the air, and when he was about to take a step forward, the aura of destruction was even stronger, it was a sense of death that made him feel terrified.

Looking at Wren's expressionless face again, Li Mad felt a sudden in his heart, this guy is crazy, he is playing really! Just one step further and he will literally detonate that bomb!

He still has a great future, and he will not die with someone like Wren who is inferior to him, Li roared angrily, and the knife he raised slowly drooped, shouting: "Damn, you won, put away that bastard thing!" ”

Wren sneered when he heard this, originally he was afraid that Li Mad was a guy with a thick brain who didn't know the sky, but it seemed that he was still afraid. Wren pointed to the stairs leading to the third floor and said coldly, "Get out, don't let me see you here today!" ”

Such arrogant words instantly angered Li Mad and raised the big knife he put down again, his eyes were glowing with bloodthirsty light, and at the same time, the cold aura of destruction of the Destruction Star increased, Li Mad changed his face, and finally spat and walked away without looking back.

The dark dog disappeared, Wren suddenly fell to the ground, there was no blood on his face, the Destruction Star hastily put it into the backpack, Yellow Fang saw this and quickly stepped forward to help him up, Xiaomei looked at Wren's right hand and screamed in fright.

The power of the Destruction Star is so terrifying, so many people in the hall, thirty or forty meters away from Wren, all feel the horror of this thing, and Wren, who was in close contact with the Destruction Star, turned his palm purple and blue, swollen high, and pus and blood overflowed from it.

"I'm fine." Wren said weakly, compared to precisely manipulating the Destruction Star to prevent it from exploding, this is really a trivial matter.

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say. This time it was Wren who saved everyone, she thought she was stronger than Wren, but she didn't use any strength in the duel with the Dark Dog, and her deep sense of powerlessness made her regret. She took out a roll of bandages and silently treated Wren's wounds, Huang Xie stood on the side and watched, with sour jealousy in her heart.

The crisis was over in front of him, but Wren's heart was still up and down, and the look in Li Mad when he left told him that he would never give up. There are also dark dog people among the overseers of this banquet, and if Ghost Li doesn't make it easier for his guild, Wren himself won't believe it.

It wasn't interesting to stay in the hall any longer, and Yellow Fang drove Wren and the Thorn Flower up to the third floor.

On the third floor is the guest room of Night City, and the brand number of the Adepts is the room number. Wren found Room 78, and the others went back to their respective rooms, which contained the names of their opponents tomorrow.

Taking a deep breath, Wren pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Inside it was spacious and spacious, and all kinds of decorations were luxurious, but Wren was not in the mood to appreciate it. Walking to the entrance, Wren searched around, but found nothing like a number plate, and with a suspicious attitude, Wren came to the living room, where there was a glass table, and there was nothing on it.

Turning the bedroom, bathroom, and even the bathroom upside down, Wren found nothing, and he said to himself in surprise: "I... Got a bye? ”

According to the rules of Ghost Li, as long as the person with a bye has no other abilities, if he chooses Wren as his opponent, he will enter the next day of the banquet without sticking, Wren is a little happy, his number 78 is basically known by all the powers, and when fighting with the dark dog, he does not hide the number plate.

Wren's strength is very strong, everyone can see it, and being able to fight a freak like Li Mad for a few rounds has been recognized by the Abilities, as long as possible, they will not choose Wren as their opponent.

As long as his license plate doesn't appear in the hands of the dark dog, Wren has an almost 100% chance of winning by a bye.

The tension relaxed a lot, and Wren lay down on the sofa tiredly, took out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it.

After the numbness on his right hand passed, the hot pain was unbearable, and Wren took out a few bottles of low-grade life potions and applied them to it, feeling a little better.

After resting for a while, Wren found a pen and paper in the room, on which he wrote the names of the Dark Dogs.

On the paper, Li Mad and Li Chen were marked with red ballpoint pen circles in circles, these two people were extremely dangerous, no matter which one they faced, Wren did not have the confidence to defeat.

Of the other five people, the highest level is level 22, and Wren has nothing to fear. He counted his hole cards and estimated his strength.

Tempest Slash is one, with a high base attack and AD bonus, as well as additional armor penetration, which can be dealt with in the face of a master in the general sense.

The second is the skill of the Explosive Necklace, 'Glow'. After using Radiance, Wren could barely fight Li for a few rounds, and Lin Xun of the Xunlu Guild was helpless under Wren's 'Glow' skill.

The strongest hole card is furious. The maximum increase in attack power is ten times, which is sensational, and Wren conservatively estimates that he can withstand about seven times the increase, and no matter how strong he is, he can't control his consciousness. With an attack power of 1274 under seven times, Wren couldn't help but wonder, maybe the Wind Slash in a furious state has a hope of killing Li Mad ?

Of course, this unrealistic possibility is just to think about, first of all, with Li Mad's strength, it is impossible to be easily hit by the Tempest Breath Slash, and with Wren's current attack speed, it will take time to charge up the time to release the Wind Breath Slash. Although it was very short, in the eyes of someone of Li Mad's level, this time was too deadly.

The ballpoint pen kept tapping on the table, and Wren stared at Li Chen's name, lost in thought.

He hadn't seen Li Chen make a move, he could only know that the level was level 24, the Chosen One, the hero was the Void Walker, and he was a mage-type assassin.

If his strength is not much different from Lin Xun, Rennes can win him by breaking out all his hole cards. But things are unpredictable, just like Lin Xun has a 'hardened defense', Li Chen must have skills that he doesn't know.

Wren felt his head go loud for a while, and the doorbell rang, and after a moment's pause, he went to open the door.

"Ah, you are..." Wren looked at the visitor, he thought it was someone from the thorn flower who came to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't expect it to be this guy.

The person who came was Liu Jian, who was wearing a black windbreaker, with a slender figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a smile on his face, which seemed to have no malicious intent.

But Wren is still very vigilant, the thorn flower and the tip of the knife are not too much, what does this Liu Jian's sudden visit mean?

Noticing the meaning in Wren's eyes, Liu Jian waved his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother, I don't have any malice, didn't you see that the knife I kept behind my back didn't take it out?" ”

"That... What are you here for? Wren stared at his movements, not daring to relax.

Liu Jian put away his smiling face and said solemnly: "In your hands, you lack the news of the dark dog, right?" ”

Wren was stunned and nodded honestly, he was still struggling about this just now.

"Then let me in." Liu Jian said to himself and went into the room, came to the living room and sat down, not feeling unfamiliar at all, as if this was his home.

The two sat opposite each other on the sofa, Liu Jian grabbed Wren's cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and said, "I went on a mission before, and I had some conflicts with Li Chen, this time I'm afraid they won't let go of the Knife Tip Guild." ”

Liu Jian looked at Wren and said, "We are on the same front. ”

Wren frowned, in the information of the big tiger, Liu Jian is indeed a strong character that needs attention, but the tip of the knife is a small guild, if it weren't for Liu Jian, he wouldn't have jumped into the eyes of the thorn flower at all, if he wants to form a united front, the strength of the two sides must at least be relatively balanced, otherwise it will be too cost-effective.

Liu Jian saw Wren's hesitation and said, "I don't ask you to stand up for the Knife Tip Guild, I only ask for two points. ”

After a pause, he looked at Wren, who snorted and said, "Tell me about it." ”

"First, in this banquet, it is forbidden for the Thorn Flower to shoot at the people of the Blade, to be honest, the Blade Guild's abilities other than me are all weak and pitiful." Liu Jian smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly.

"Of course, since a united front is formed, this request is not excessive, what about the second point?" Wren nodded as a matter of course.

"The second point... Liu Blade's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "I ask you to announce the alliance between the Thorn Flower and the Blade in front of all the abilities at the end of the duel tomorrow. ”

Seeing that Ren's face was different, Liu Jian hurriedly said: "Of course, it's just to announce such a news, if the Knife Tip Guild really encounters a crisis, Thorn Flower doesn't have to join forces to help us, our own difficulties, we can solve them ourselves, even if we encounter the Dark Dog Guild." ”

This was Liu Blade's true intention, he wanted to use the name of the Thorn Flower to intimidate other guilds, so that they would not choose the person with the tip of the knife as their opponent in the duel.

This trick is very useful, how can Thorn Flower also be one of the three major guilds, except for the few guilds of the Dark Dog who dare to argue with them, most of the other guilds are small and medium-sized, in the eyes of this guild, Wren They are unattainable powerhouses, and if they offend Thorn Flower, they will naturally not offend their Alliance Knife Tip Guild.

In the final analysis, in fact, this is not afraid of the really powerful guilds, such as the Dark Dog, the Giant Tree, and the Swift Deer, not even the Thorn Flower, let alone the Knife Tip Guild? But think about it, the abilities of the Knife Tip Guild are generally weak, and the overall level is the existence of the bottom in the banquet, as long as there is the prestige of the Thorn Flower, eliminating most of the small and medium-sized guilds can greatly increase the survival rate of their people.

Liu Jian looked at Ren, his eyes flickered, and said: "How about it, you only need to announce the news of the alliance tomorrow, and you don't have to pay anything to exchange for the news of the dark dog, this deal should be very cost-effective." You know, Darkdog is so strong today that no one will take the risk to tell you the news. ”

Even though Wren had already accepted his offer in his heart, he still bargained to see if there was any room for further improvement. He made a tangled expression, and then said, "For you, what you pay is the price of moving your mouth, right?" It doesn't seem much better than us. ”

In the end, after some verbal arguments, Liu Jian said in a deep voice: "I'll kill that Li Chen, so it's always okay." ”

Wren looked at him in surprise, Li Chen's strength was likely to be stronger than Lin Xun's, Liu Jian's expression was very serious, it wasn't like lying, so it was terrifying to say that he himself was also strong!

"Are you so sure that you can meet Li Chen at the banquet?" Wren was very skeptical about this, the number plates issued every day were random, why was he so sure?

Li Chen sneered and said, "There are dark dog people among the supervisors this time!" Do you think they will really be fair and impartial? Besides, this time the banquet was held in advance, and all the guilds knew that it was the dark dog that was pushing the waves, and there were no ghosts in it. ”

Indeed, this possibility was also considered by Ren Ren, and Liu Jian said again: "I fought with Li Chen during that mission, and he almost died under my sword, this kind of deep hatred and hatred with his character, it is impossible not to revenge." The Dark Dogs are your mortal enemies, and it will be a lot of pressure for you to take them out of their second-in-command. ”

Throwing out all the hole cards, Liu Jian stared straight at Wren and said in a deep voice: "These, it's finally enough, right?" ”

Wren's gaze became serious, those who could kill Li Chen should not be taken lightly, he nodded heavily, and said, "Of course it is enough, tomorrow I will announce the news of the alliance between the Thorn Flower and the Knife Tip Guild." ”

After the two reached an agreement, Liu Jian told everything he knew about the dark dog, there was a lot of news, it seems that he had also worked this aspect, and it took half an hour to finish, and then left Wren who was contemplating alone, Liu Jian left after achieving his goal.

There were many more words on the paper on the table, which were all written down during the conversation between Wren and Liu Jian.

From Liu Jian, he learned a lot about Li Mad's deeds, including Li Mad's usual behavior and some achievements.

Li Mad has a personality like his name, he is arrogant, I heard that last month, he entered the Demon Beast Forest alone and hunted two level 30 blood apes, this kind of record is undoubtedly eye-catching.

One of the most important pieces of news is about Li Mad 's weakness.

According to Liu Jian, it cost him a lot of money to get the news, he bribed the members of the Dark Dog with a two-star weapon, and I heard that when Li Madness first became an Anomalous One, he received a fatal wound on the left side of his abdomen, and the injury was difficult to recover, leaving a permanent dark wound in his body.

As long as you grasp this weakness during the battle, you can get twice the result with half the effort against Li Mad with half the effort. But this is also a rumor, and even the person from the dark dog doesn't know the truth of the news, so he can only be used as a reference.

In addition, it is the level and strength estimation of the other members of the dark dog.

Filtering all the information in his head, the cigarette in Wren's hand had already burned out without noticing.

There are seven dark dogs, with an average level of 20, and in addition to Li Mad and Li Chen, two masters who are beyond ordinary people, the remaining few people can at least fight with Hank, and Huang Xie is not an opponent.

It is also one of the three major guilds, and the gap between the thorn flower and the dark dog at this time is terrifying. If there is no strong man among Wren's people who can at least compete with Li Xiangxiang, the banquet trip will be dangerous.

Going out of the room, the corridor is quiet, every stranger has no leisure to enjoy the luxury of Night City, tomorrow the duel of the banquet will begin, two hundred and ten people, I don't know how many can be left.

Knocking on the door one by one, calling Thornflower's companions to his room, Wren informed everyone of the news of his alliance with the Knife Tip Guild.

Everyone's faces were heavy, and after listening to Wren's analysis of the dark dog, they didn't know what to do, the weak people didn't even have a chance to resist in the banquet, so they let the strong knead it.

Huang Xie stared at Wren with hatred, and cut off: "You don't have to worry, anyway, it's a bye, unlike us who have to participate in tomorrow's life-and-death showdown, now you must be happy, hum." ”

Huangya was not happy on the spot, and scolded: "You **** thing, have you forgotten who scared the people of the dark dog away just now?" ”
