At night, people light up light bulbs and cover small areas with yellow light, and they dare not turn them off even when they are sleeping. These little lights are reassuring.

The symbiote, who had been sitting with his knees folded and his head down, lifted his head.

There was no expression on his frightening countenance, but it was not difficult to tell from the movements of the humans around him that he was now in a state of complete confusion.

"The drug should be in effect. "Lee Ben deliberately said in lingua franca to see if the symbiotes reacted to it.

Sure enough, when he heard this, he stopped his gaze on Li Ben.

"Can you speak?" asked Jeffrey.

"Who... Be... You?" The symbiote's voice was low.

"The ancient language was a little different in the order of pronunciation, but he should be able to understand us. Aita, who was also watching, explained to Jeffrey.

"Who are you?" the symbiote's high intelligence caused him to instantly comprehend Aita's words, and adjusted his grammar to ask again.

"We are people who live in this time, and now it is said that more than a thousand years have passed since your time. Jeffrey said.

"For more than a thousand years... Where are they?"

"If it's your kind, they're all gone. ”

"Gone? We failed, we succeeded, you guys are alive, humans are alive, the mission hasn't failed. ”

"What do you mean by that, and what do you mean by mission?"

"The mission is... The mission is... Yes!... Evolve!... Destroy!... Nope!"

The symbiote suddenly became frantic, and the hunters present drew their silver swords out of their guard.

However, he soon calmed down, fell into a sluggish state, and did not move, no matter how Geoffrey and the others called him, he did not respond.

"Well, it seems that I'm too anxious to give him another dose of yak to try. Jeffrey said.

The second potion was absorbed by him again.

The awake symbiote seems to have forgotten the previous conversation, and the people in front of him.

This time, it was Lee who led the conversation.

Lee Ben first tested his conjecture and asked, "Are you human?"

"It used to be, until they turned me like this. Said the symbiote.

"Do they mean the symbiotes who have changed from clones?"

"Yes. ”

"What's your name?"

"The name... Sander, my name is Sander. ”

"Sander, what's the last thing or scene you remember?"

"One last thing... At last... The mission to escape... Giants! No, they can't escape, they fail..."

Sander fell into dementia again.

"Quests, evolution, destruction, giants, it seems that you can't ask directly about these things. Zhou Haomiao said.

"Alright, these things don't help our tribe, stop wasting potions, and leave the study of history to the navigators. Jeffrey waved his hand to disperse the crowd.

He turned to Li Ben and Zhou Haomiao and said, "I don't know why you have to leave him in the tribe, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is difficult for you to know anything valuable from him, to be honest, if it is useless, it is better to throw him into the wild to fend for himself." ”

"Instructor, I know, I know, but the Prophet has given us permission to dispose of him freely. Zhou Haomiao said.

"I don't know what you said to the Prophet, but if your actions threaten the safety of the Horde, even the Prophet's decision will not be recognized. ”

"The instructor also asks you to put 10,000 hearts at that!"

"I hate to hear absolutes. ”

After Jeffrey left, only Aita, Zhou Haomiao, Li Ben, Hooks, and Brian were left on the scene.

Aita said to Zhou Haomiao, "The prophet has something to say to you, please come with me." ”

Zhou Haomiao glanced at Li Ben and left with Aita.

Hooks asked, "Is there anything else you have to do?"

"I want to talk to him alone. Li Ben said.

The two hunters in charge of guarding each other looked at each other, and then Brian said, "We thank you on behalf of Thomas for Trista, Anne's mother. ”

"We will wait nearby, please don't delay too long, feel free to call us if there is any situation. Hooks also said.

Li Ben nodded, and the two returned the salute and left for the time being.

"Kindness in return, isn't it?" he muttered to himself, turning to Sand the Symbiote, pulling out another bottle of Yakxi potion from his body and dragging it on his back.

"Alright, let's start the conversation. An imperceptible gray mist flashed in Li Ben's eyes.

............

Zhou Haomiao, who had returned from the prophet, frowned deeply, obviously their communication was not very pleasant.

Li Ben asked him, "Is there anything you want to say?"

Zhou Haomiao shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Did you get any news from the symbiote?"

"There's no clue about the missions he's talking about, but the method of breaking the boundary that we're interested in is likely related to this mission, and Sander mentions the main city of the Symbiotes, the City of Contempt, which was the original Symbiote base, where there are more clues. ”

"Haven't heard of this place, where is it? dangerous?"

"The center of the continent, far away, the danger is not clear. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"After the contract is over, look for a chance to go. ”

"Is it..."Zhou Haomiao's expression was a little strange.

"Your emotions don't seem to be very stable. ”

"I'm a little tired. ”

Li Ben knew that this must have something to do with Andre's conversation with him.

In the next period of time, no matter what he did, Zhou Haomiao was a little absent-minded.

And Xander has always been quiet in the tribe, and doesn't seem to need to eat or drink, and hasn't caused any trouble.

The experience after that was no different from the last time, Li Ben and Zhou Haomiao reconnoitred and opened the way, occasionally encountered some chaotic creatures, and they were all solved neatly, and soon arrived at another branch of the Navigator Organization, completed the same procedures as before, and handed over Sand to them, and the tribe embarked on another journey.

It happened on the third day after leaving the vault.

"The Prophet is dead! from a bullet!"

"Jeffrey was killed by the sword, and he didn't even have time to use his abilities!"

"Who did that?"

"There is a traitor among us!"

"Or someone is secretly infected!"

"A new prophet must be elected immediately!"

"Who is qualified, who is capable?"

"We have to find the murderer first! ”

The Chaos Hunters gathered together to argue, and the news of Andre and Jeffrey's deaths hadn't gotten out yet, but it certainly wouldn't be hidden for long.

The simultaneous death of a tribe's prophet and the leader of the Chaos Hunters is undoubtedly a devastating blow, and if it is not dealt with in time, the tribe will be torn apart by different voices, and everyone will face an unknown threat of terror in this dangerous wilderness.

"Without a prophet to show us the way, it's hard to avoid the most damn of things. ”

"Didn't the Prophet leave anything behind?"

"Who else hasn't been there?"

Hester and Hooks went to the Prophet's House to investigate. ”

"Call Aita, she's the Prophet's deputy. ”

"Koou, go find him. ”

"What about the two otherworldly?"

"They haven't been notified yet. ”

"Could it be that they did it?"

"No way, there are contractual restrictions, unless they don't die. ”

After some fruitless arguments, Hester, Hooks, and Aita make their way to the Chaos Hunters' camp.

"The Prophet left a letter. Hooks said.

The envelope on the envelope is complete, indicating that it has not been opened, and the cover reads: To all tribal owners.

Let's see what the prophet had to say. ”

The hunters opened the letter.

"What? Why did you name him?"

Since it is the judgment of the prophets, we should obey it. ”

"No matter what, the murderer must be found first!"

"It is impossible for an average person to kill Jeffrey. ”

"It's either the Infected, or the Chaos Hunter. ”

"Ordinary infected people can't do it, and they certainly can't escape our eyes. ”

"It is important to consider the situation in which someone falls and becomes an alien. ”

"Do you want to do a soul test? It's too expensive, not to mention that there are so many of us. ”

"Chaos Hunter has the highest chance, so let's start with us. ”

The soul test is a risky and costly complex test. It involves dark magic, potions, séances, and hypnosis, and potions are not likely to be used regularly due to the large number of materials required and the rarity of some of them. It can also be seen as a kind of trial, where those who pass the test have a chance to increase their soul strength, and there is a special chance of trial for those with excellent grades in the advanced chaos hunter training organized by the navigator.

"Start with the biggest suspicions. ”

"Those two people from the other world, start with them. ”

"But the Prophet named one of them, shall we also investigate him?

"The abilities of the Otherworldly are too unpredictable, and the failure of contracts has not happened in history. Is this letter genuine? The deliberate naming of the letter makes people feel suspicious. ”

"It's useless to talk too much, just call the two of them out and give it a try!"

............

In front of the camp of the Otherworldly, surrounded by a group of Chaos Hunters, Li Ben and Zhou Haomiao were informed of the death of the Prophet and Geoffrey, and also knew about the next test.

"Where were you two last night? Who can prove it?"

"I've been in the tent. Li Ben said.

Zhou Haomiao said: "I went out at night, but I was with Aita. ”

Aita nodded in affirmation.

"Do you two have any opinion on the test?"

"I don't care. Zhou Haomiao said.

Li Ben glanced at him, and roughly guessed the beginning and end of the matter in his heart.

Is this your plan?

Lee's hesitation aroused the hunters' suspicions.

What to do next? Run? That confirms their suspicions. Once tested, there is no chance of escape.

Zhou Haomiao, Zhou Haomiao, what is your reason for doing this?

"Hey, what the hell is going on?

Lee Ben said, "Can I refuse?"

"You have to come up with evidence that doesn't let us doubt you. ”

"Nope. ”

"Then you'll have to pick up... Stop!"

Li Ben rushed back to the camp tent at explosive speed, rolled up his equipment, drew his sword, cut a gap from the inside, and escaped from the other end.

Since he was in a normal human form, the hunters were not too vigilant and let him break out of the encirclement at once.

"There's something wrong with him! Don't let him run!"

The hunters turned into chases one after another, leaving only Zhou Haomiao, Aita, Hooks, and Brian without moving.

The Chaos Hunters were all sharpshooters, and to completely dodge their bullets, of course Li Ben couldn't do this, even in the dense forest with complex terrain, he was shot a dozen times in just a few minutes.

He deliberately carried the sword on his back and protected the back of his head with the scabbard and sword grid.

"Shoot him in the leg!" a transformed guy with wings stared at Li Ben in the air while directing the hunters of all shapes below.

They know what they are capable of, and once they are caught, they will inevitably use various methods to deal with their own regeneration, until they are completely dead.

Three bullets had been left in his body, causing him severe pain, but he didn't have the time to get them out.

It's not an option to run like this, but if you turn around and face a dozen Chaos Hunters, even the strange bird Flamin may not survive.

Their transformation has a time limit, and it must be delayed until that time, and the one in heaven is remembered to be called Ann Oud.

"Ann Oud!" Li Ben suddenly shouted, and then fired several backhand shots into the air.

"Damn!" the silver bullet struck Ann Oud's wing, forcing him to fall and having to wait until he recovered before he could fly again.

Although they lost their aerial stalking, the Chaos Hunters on land were not vegetarians, and they did not let Li Ben easily get rid of them.

If it really doesn't work, you have to use that method again. Li Ben touched his left wrist.

The chase lasted from morning to afternoon, during which many Chaos Hunters were unable to hold on and released their transformations, but after a short break, they forcibly followed.

Moreover, Li Ben's physical strength was not unlimited, and at that time he had to fight back with a firearm to slow down the progress of the hunters, relying on his recovery ability to fight them and eat dozens of bullets.

When the Chaos Hunters ran out of bullets, Li Ben thought he would be able to catch his breath, but as a result, almost every Chaos Hunter would have a simple long-range attack magic, fireballs, ice bullets, lightning, wind blades, flying stones, etc., and greet Li Ben one by one.

"The oppressive force around us has become thicker, we have chased too far, we have reached the danger zone, and if we encounter a powerful monster in our current state, we may not be able to escape with our whole body. ”

"Are you just going to watch this bastard run away?"

"The tribe still needs us!

"A lot of people are already exhausted!"

"He can't survive alone in the wild! Report his matter to the Navigator Order, and he will be isolated in this world!"

"Let this world have no place for him!"

The chase is finally over.

Li Ben, who was able to rest, immediately dug out all the bullets on his body with a dagger and let the wounds heal one by one.

"There are eighteen in total, what do you think? ”

The space around Li Ben suddenly began to distort, and Zhou Haomiao walked out of it, and he didn't speak.

"That's how you prove it. ”

Zhou Haomiao once said that the prophet said that he was the savior, and in order to prove that the prophet was not lying, he decided to kill the prophet. If all this were true, the prophet would have had no complaints.

Zhou Haomiao said: "I asked the prophet, can the future be changed? He said no, no matter how tortuous the process is, the scene he sees will inevitably be a necessary place on the road. ”

"Then how can he avoid evil? If everything is predestined. ”

"I asked him too. He said that these things are different, those scenes about us belong to 'fate', and the foreknowledge of danger belongs to 'process'. ”

"Then he should be able to foresee your method of proof. ”

"The time you talked to the symbiote, he came to me and said he already knew. ”

"What about Jeffrey? What does that have to do with him? He taught you so much. ”

"That was the Prophet's request, and if he didn't die, the Prophet's name would not make me the next chief. Zhou Haomiao, who showed his true side, downplayed all this.

"Is this necessary? Isn't this a 'process'?"

"Because the Prophet said that if I don't kill him, he will die at the mouth of the monster, so it is better for me to do it. Sorry, I didn't intend to involve you in. ”

"I think that's what Andre asks for as well. ”

"The Prophet divined his fate once again before he died, and I don't know what he saw, but he said that he had broken your contract with the tribe and asked me to take this opportunity to expel you. ”

"That's the case..."Zhou Haomiao's answer relieved the doubts in Li Ben's heart, and he said, "When Flamin was in the lair, you were also there." ”

Zhou Haomiao nodded: "I saw it all." ”

"It seems that you have been hiding it from the beginning, since we met, or even earlier, have you really been killed by werewolves?"

"Oops! You've found out!" Zhou Haomiao suddenly laughed, as if he had changed back to the guy he used to be.

However, in the next second, he straightened his face again: "I never believed in anything in this world, anyone. ”

"I think you're fit to be an actor. ”

"However, I prefer to be a screenwriter. ”

"You say you don't trust anyone, but you still listen to Andrei's words after all. ”

Zhou Haomiao was silent and did not answer.

Li Ben then asked, "Have you ever thought about going back?"

"That world is so boring, I don't want to go back. ”

"Looks like you've found a reason to bookmark the flyer. ”

"Perhaps. I thought you were the same person as me, don't you think it's boring over there?"

"We're different. ”

"I'll know when you bring back the fruit. ”

"Hmm. So, let's do it. ”

Li Ben drew his sword, he didn't think that Zhou Haomiao came here to explain a lot of things to himself.

Zhou Haomiao tilted his head and plunged into the void with one hand.

"Poof!" came the sound of flesh exploding.

"Vomit!" Li Ben covered his heart and vomited out a large amount of red liquid and minced meat, and he instantly understood the gap between himself and Zhou Haomiao.

There were no trauma to his chest, but his heart, lungs, and esophagus were crushed, and minced flesh gushed out of his throat.

He forced the muscles of his body, regardless of the abnormality in his body, and swung his sword to slash at Zhou Haomiao.

Zhou Haomiao's body turned into a phantom, making his attack miss.

"No wonder you killed Jeffrey. ”

"I directly destroyed his brain with a sword, and he walked without pain. ”

"So what are you waiting for?" As he said, there would be no room for resistance.

"I want to ask if your soul is really infected by Chaos?"

"You should have the answer. ”

"I'm just guessing that the Prophet said that killing Jeffrey would make you leave the Tribe, and I don't know exactly why. You don't look like the alien demons in the records at all, and you have some secrets I don't know. ”

"Does it matter?"

Judging from the current situation, Li Ben's attack could not hurt Zhou Haomiao at all, there was no need to waste energy, and it was the right choice to talk to him and think about countermeasures while delaying time.

"Is it important? I don't know, I just want to know, right?" Zhou Haomiao didn't rush to kill Li Ben, he knew Li Ben's abilities and weaknesses, but Li Ben didn't know anything about himself, everything was under control.

"Well, if you tell me, I'll let you go, to be honest, you're my rare friend, and I don't have a reason to kill you. ”

"Then you're here to talk to me?"

"I want to leave you in the wild like this, and you will be eaten by monsters who don't know what kind of thing, as a friend, I should give you a decent ride, and by the way, let you know what happened, so that you don't die in the end. ”

"Then I really thank you!"

"Okay, do you say it or don't you say it?"

"I don't know the answer myself. ”

"Okay!"

As soon as Zhou Haomiao's words fell, Li Ben began to flee at full speed.

"It's useless. He stood still, reaching into the void again.

A hand appeared at the ankle of Leeben's left foot, which had pierced into the flesh and bones.

He swung his sword directly and cut off his left foot, and then quickly reborn a new one.

Zhou Haomiao escaped directly into another space and appeared in front of Li Ben. Seeing this, Li Ben immediately turned around, turned over and jumped into the dense forest foliage and bushes, out of Zhou Haomiao's sight.

He still has a certain attack range limit. Lee Ben made a judgment. If there is no infinite distance, Zhou Haomiao does not need to run in front of him to block the road at all.

"You're so useless, do you want to play peek-a-boo?"

Li Ben is out of Zhou Haomiao's field of vision, and he can not be attacked by his ability, but it also means that he can't move quickly to expose the position, but Zhou doesn't have this scruple and can easily catch up.

When Zhou Haomiao approached the bush, Li Ben really made a movement and appeared, but for a brief moment, he jumped into another dense grass pile.

"Are you a rabbit?" Zhou Haomiao behaved very calmly, after all, his ability was there, and Li Ben didn't hurt him.

As if strolling leisurely, he forced himself to the place where Li Ben was hiding.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.

On the grass behind him, there was a half-cut arm, and an infinite symbol was tattooed on the arm, and with the blessing of the Dharma seal, Li Ben instantly constructed his body from this arm and approached his back.

A strong sense of crisis filled Zhou Haomiao's brain, and he did not hesitate to escape into the void, but his left hand had already been caught, and if he wanted to bring it into the other world together, he would inevitably bring Li Ben, who grabbed his hand, into it, and it would be difficult to say whether he would win or lose at that time.

It's simple!

Zhou Haomiao, who had already entered the other space except for his left hand, leaned out his right hand without hesitation, targeting the area behind his back of the head, in his expectation, this would be a direct fatal blow - to smash Li Ben's brain.

Self-dissolving and being attacked by others are two concepts, even if Li Ben's brain is destroyed, he will not die, at least he will lose his ability to move in an instant.

However, the touch of air came from his hand, and then his right hand was also caught.

What the!

In Li Ben's current world, he has his upper body naked, and his lower body has not been reconstructed at all, so he is half a year shorter than an adult, and this half-cut gap directly frustrated Zhou Haomiao's prediction.

His hands have firmly locked Zhou Haomiao's hands, and the next thing to do is to break these hands with force!

"Click!"

"Tell me! What does it feel like to kill?"

"Ah!!" In the other space, Zhou Haomiao let out a cry of pain, and the taste of fracture was uncomfortable.

After doing this step, Li Bencai let his body be completely constructed, and he knew very well that as soon as he let go, Zhou Haomiao would escape his grasp, and he would not go to the second time in the same way.

Zhou Haomiao only used his hands, not his feet, indicating that only these two most flexible parts of human beings could attack regardless of distance. If he could also use his feet, Li Ben would have been trampled to death directly.

Such a stalemate will not be long, and both men understand it.

Zhou Haomiao felt that his hands were no longer clamped, and immediately retracted into the void. Now that he goes out again, he can't help Li Ben.

Li Ben went to pick up his clothes and equipment and quickly left the place.

Zhou Haomiao's voice came from the void: "Good brother! I admit that you are more ruthless! Seeing that your desire to survive is so strong, I won't kill you, I hope you won't blame me in the future! See you again!"
