Chapter Twenty-Eight: Three Teams
"Boss! That's it! A thin man with an over-the-shoulder ponytail and bangs that almost covered his eyes pointed to the three broken logs in front of him, "Huh? Why is there a person up there? ”
This man was naturally Wood, who had propped himself up in mid-air with magic vines, and he was facing away from the group at this time, because he was preparing to speak to the other group in front of him.
"Hey! That mage! The ponytail walked over to Wood and shouted, "We're here on a mission!" You'd better stay away from this place! ”
Wood was just about to open his mouth to say something when he heard another voice from behind him and had to look back, only to see a group of people coming from behind, just plus the ponytail man who just called him, there were a total of six people, all of them were the kind of tough guys with exaggerated tattoos on their naked upper bodies, carrying all kinds of giant machetes on their backs, but this thin pony-tailed man was a little out of place.
At first, the group in front of Wood looked much more normal, two men and two women of the four, two men were heavily armored warriors and magic gunners, and the other two were a mage and a physical cultivator or assassin.
Wood didn't know what to do for a while, and the ponytail man happened to see another team of people at this time, and mistakenly thought that Wood was from their team, so he shouted at the team: "Over there, we are coming to do a mission, you better get out of this place and take this guy away!" He pointed to Wood.
The four people saw that the ponytail man was extremely arrogant, and they were also angry, and the heavy armored warrior was the first to stand up, and responded in a loud voice: "We are also here to do the mission, why don't you go away?" ”
The ponytail man saw that the other side was not false at all, and shouted loudly: "Do you know who we are? You'd better be respectful, apologize and get out of here, lest you suffer from flesh and skin!" ”
"Humph! As for your stinky fish and shrimp, I don't know who you are, and it's not certain who suffers from flesh and skin! After speaking, the heavy armor warrior pulled out the giant sword hanging behind his back, this giant sword long sword is one meter five long, as wide as a human head, and it is also engraved with an amplification magic pattern.
That momentum really startled the ponytail man and Wood, who didn't want the gang to fight, but he was standing in the middle.
"I, I, I said everyone, yes, there's something to discuss..."
"Boss! These people don't know we're awesome! Not as good as us-"
"Shut up, you don't think you're getting into enough trouble? If it weren't for your brother's face, I would have kicked you out a long time ago! A strong man with black pants and black boots, dark skin and black tattoos scolded the ponytail man, "You get back for me first." ”
The pony-tailed man glared fiercely at the warrior and returned to his ranks.
"I'm Black Wind, the leader of the Black Stripe Squad, an intermediate team certified by the Bounty Center, and may I ask who your team is?" This strong man is a bit polite.
Seeing that the other party took a step back first, the heavily armored warrior couldn't continue to attack, so he plunged his big sword into the ground, took off his helmet, and hugged his fist at the boss and said: "Gorgon, Golden Helmet-level warrior, our squad has just been established, and this trip is the first mission." ”
"Now that you're here, it's your job..."
Wood watched the conversation between the two people, and had a bad feeling in his heart.
"The Mars family?" The people on both sides said in unison.
Wood chuckled in his heart, it's over, it's time to compete.
In most cases, the Bounty Center will post missions in the immediate area, and once a team picks up a mission, the mission will no longer appear on the bulletin board, and the team member will be registered until the mission is completed. If the mission fails, or if the team does not complete the mission within a certain period of time after receiving it, the mission will appear on the bulletin board again.
However, some long-term quests or difficult quests that have failed many times, such as the hunt for the forest ape subspecies and the current Mars family, will be announced at the various bounty centers on the continent and will remain there for a long time until the mission is completed.
Although there are not many teams capable of completing a difficult mission like this, it is inevitable that a small number of teams will pick it up, and this means that a very small number of people from different teams will appear at the mission location at the same time. At this time, the multi-party team has three choices, the first of which is the simplest and most straightforward, that is, to quit the mission, but unless the opponent's strength is so different that they can't compete with it. The second is to look at the willingness of multiple teams, that is, cooperation, cooperation seems to reduce the difficulty of the task, but the details need to be finalized repeatedly, such as how to divide the labor, how to distribute the task rewards, etc., which is both complex and time-consuming. So the most popular is the third one, and that is competition.
Competition is not a simple fight to see who has a hard fist to listen to whom, of course, this is also one of the methods, like this kind of search task competition is to see who finds the box first, and then the team that does not find it can snatch the results of others. The bounty center is a ban on fighting between teams, and once it is found that the party who took the initiative to kill will be severely punished, but some black-hearted teams will kill other teams, and there is neither evidence nor physical evidence, so there is no way to verify, and after all, no one will report the murderer if everyone is dead.
"You're alone?" Finally, the mage on the warrior team noticed Wood.
"No, it's not, we're also here to do this task." Wood thought that he had to inform Hua Ye Xinqiu as soon as possible.
"When did you arrive? How many people are on your team? Why did you stand here for half a day? Has anyone else started looking for a box? Since when? The mage asked a long list of questions, and Wood became overwhelmed as soon as he became nervous, not knowing which question to answer first.
"Since their team has also started this task, why don't we two teams start directly? Whoever finds the box first is counted, and if you snatch it, then you have your own ability, how about it? Black Wind was not verbose, and asked Gorgaon directly.
Gorgan looked back at the others, and after saying yes, he put on his helmet and said to the black wind, "Let's start." ”
The two teams quickly organized and arranged the search range, and after the ponytail man was assigned a task similar to Wood, he glanced at Gorgan viciously, his small eyes covered by his bangs rolled slightly, and after watching everyone set off, he quietly followed Gorgan and disappeared into the dense forest.
Before Wood came back to his senses, the gang just disappeared, and for a while, he could only wait for the agreed time to come up and then tell Hua Ye and Xinqiu. Let's hope they don't fight.
