Chapter 11: Greed
"Alright, so be it. Meiling and I will come to keep vigil in the evening, Aaron, you and Yamin should hurry up and rest. After a few people finished chatting, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, except for Ziyuan, Shenwei, Yaming and Zuo Congrong, everyone else had already slept. Today's operation can be regarded as over, and tomorrow morning I will continue to look for clues, so Ziyuan arranged work for the two.
"Hmm, don't you need me to keep vigil with Aaron?" asked Yamin, stunned. As the absolute combat power of the entire team, Shion and Shenwei must ensure that they are in excellent condition at all times, so for the past few days, Zuo Congrong and Yaming, who are boys and have a decent strength, have been serving as night guards, and now the resources suddenly make such a request, which really surprised Yaming.
"Alas, Aaron was too reckless. Shion sighed and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" asked Jamin, somewhat confused.
"You're too loud, low. We've known Ah Rong for so long, do you know that the 'stupid cat' is a matter of the Fire Tiger?" Ziyuan didn't say why, but instead asked Yamin a question.
"How could I know that if my uncle hadn't told us today, I would have been kept in the dark by now. Yamin said frankly.
"Yes, I haven't found out either, we haven't found out after getting along with Ah Rong for so long, do you think Gongsun Yu has only been with us for two days, how likely is it that he can recognize the identity of the 'stupid cat'?"
"It's hard to say, looking at his appearance, how can he be a hundred and ten years old, and he is also a strong level martial artist, and his knowledge must be much wider than ours, should there be any way to confirm it?" Yaming said uncertainly.
"It's true that in terms of cognition and experience, he is much better than us. But it's only been two days, and no matter how capable he is, it is impossible to conclude that the 'stupid cat' is a fire-shaped tiger based on his appearance alone. As for the competency level...... In terms of confirming the identity of Warcraft, I should be more proficient than him. โ
"You mean...... What he said was to confirm the identity of the 'stupid cat' through the mouth of Aaron?" asked Yamin.
"I think it's very likely, and if that's the case, we'll have to be careful now. At least that's it for the next few days, I'm a little worried about letting you two come. You'd better be more careful, Aaron is too careless, I'm afraid something will happen to him. Shion instructed.
As Ziyuan said, a few people and Gongsun Yu had only been together for two days, and they almost didn't know what the other party was, but now, Zuo Congrong revealed such important information to Gongsun Yu. Adventurers and mercenaries enter this forest, which one is not for money. With such a huge wealth in front of Gongsun Yu, it is difficult to guarantee that he will think of a righteous gentleman and generally do not care. Moreover, Gongsun Yu still has the strength of a strong man, if you are not careful, it is difficult to guarantee that a few people will not fall for Gongsun Yu's way.
"Hmm. I'll keep an eye out!"
โกโก
A forest is a forest, and even in the illusion, it still replicates the original appearance of the forest. And because it's inaccessible, there's no vandalism. The trees have been given a full chance to survive and flourish in abundance, with branches and leaves that shade the sky and completely isolate the earth from the sky.
Silent night like water. The dim and soft moonlight was cast on the earth, and in this forest, which was cut off by trees, the presence of moonlight was almost impenetrable, and everyone seemed to be brought into another space separated from reality, completely shrouded in darkness.
"Sand, Sand, Sand......"
Because the space that everyone is in is a fantasy space created by stupidity, there is no other abnormal sound except for the noise caused by a few people, and in the deep night when everyone has completely rested, even the god tail who serves as a guard and guard is now in a state of confusion, and his feelings and instincts are much slower. At this moment, in the sound of everyone's steady breathing, a discordant sound came out.
Of course, it can't be said to be discordant, after all, even if everyone has fallen asleep, even if they have slept, they will unconsciously move their bodies and produce any noise, the reason why it is discordant is because this sound is too soft, not much higher than the sound of people's breathing, it seems very cautious, and compared with the sound caused by unconscious movements, there is too much difference. It's just that although the sound is very discordant, for everyone who is already asleep or almost asleep, this movement is so soft that it is no different from the sound of breathing, but it can't make everyone alert.
"Poof!"
A dull spitting sound suddenly sounded, but unfortunately, it was not very loud because it was deliberately blocked. If Kamio was still awake at this moment, he would definitely scream. Because at this moment, Zuo Congrong is nailing a dagger in his heart, and Gongsun Yu's two hands, one holding the dagger, and the other is blocked on Zuo Congrong's mouth, and the dull spitting sound is from Zuo Congrong's mouth. Pity Zuo Congrong Tianjiao's capital, the result will end up like this, and he will be plotted.
Gongsun Yu does have some means, he naturally knows that Zuo Congrong is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the high mental intensity is terrifying, which means that the sensitivity of the feeling is very high. Since you want to steal the "stupid cat" and the crystal nucleus fragments, if you don't kill Zuo Congrong, this task is impossible to complete.
"Whew~"
It was also Gongsun Yu's carelessness, he only cared about Zuo Congrong's movements, but he forgot that there was another living thing he wanted to steal, and he had clearly cut Zuo Congrong's big sword and took the crystal nucleus into his hand, but when he grabbed the "stupid cat", the cold palm made the "stupid cat" who was sleeping soundly a clever and wailed.
"What's the matter, what's wrong, Ah Feng, Ah Feng, are you there?" Hearing this sudden scream, the sleeping Mingzhu was suddenly frightened and screamed.
Of the ten people present, three were strong, two were enhancers, one was a martial artist, two were incapacitated, one was a "Mind Body", and one was a "Yuan Holy Spirit". Needless to say, it goes without saying that even Zuo Congrong, a freak who has lost his ability, is completely aware of the surrounding situation in this place where he can't see his five fingers, and Xiao Kong and Ben Ben are spirit manifestations, so this environment will not have any impact on them, and only the pearl of the martial artist and the incapable Yayue will be affected by this external factor.
"Gongsun Yu!" The wail of the "stupid cat" woke up more than just Mingzhu, even if he slept deeply, he would be woken up by this scream, not to mention these people who have always kept an eye on the forest. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the scene of Zuo Congrong being killed, and Shenwei shouted angrily.
After the "stupid cat" screamed, Gongsun Yu was also frightened for a while, no matter how he said it, he was a thief, and his reaction speed at the moment was probably inferior to that of these young people who had just woken up. It was only after hearing the screams of the god tail that he regained his senses, and then immediately dodged and accelerated, trying to escape from this place. In the face of the attacks of the two strong men, he had no chance of winning at all.
"Crackling ......"
However, his movements are still a step slower after all, as a strong magician, Ziyuan's spiritual ability here is probably only weaker than Zuo Congrong, but compared to Zuo Congrong, Ziyuan has always kept a heart eye since he met Gongsun Yu, and tonight he is carrying out his own vigil mission, although the task was handed over to Shenwei in the second half of the night, but Ziyuan Atsushi's spirit has always been very tight, and after the "stupid cat" howled, Ziyuan has already realized what is going on. While everyone was still in a panic, Zi Yuan had already begun to prepare magic, and finally released a large range of thunder magic before Gongsun Yu escaped.
"Crackling ......"
After the magic release of Aster was completed, silver-blue electric light fell from above the forest, connecting with the earth, creating a huge cage, encircling everyone and blocking Gongsun Yu's escape path. And the columnar thunder and lightning that emitted a silver-blue light illuminated the space where several people were in the daylight, and even Mingzhu and Yayue, who could not see in the pitch black environment, completely understood the current situation.
I saw that Zuo Congrong had already maintained the posture before falling asleep at this time, but the clothes in the lower abdomen had been completely cut, and in the heart, the blood that had been flowing in Bo Bo had gradually coagulated at this moment, and I didn't know what kind of physique Zuo Congrong was. The heart is where the blood and blood come together, and it stands to reason that in such a short period of time, even if the blood does not gush out as it did at the beginning, it should still flow outward, and it is absolutely impossible for it to coagulate and stop bleeding as it is now.
......
"What are you doing, where do you want to go?" Zi Yuan asked, his eyes were like torches, and his eyes were fiercely fixed on Gongsun Yu.
"Haha......ha , Now that it's been revealed, there's nothing to say, but I'm more curious, with your age and strength, can you stop the old man!" As soon as Gongsun Yu's words fell, he, who originally didn't have the slightest ability fluctuation, suddenly seemed to have been opened as if the ability valve had been opened, and the surging fluctuation power gushed out, blowing a storm of energy in this fantasy space. And in this surging energy storm, everyone's faces are becoming more and more ugly, and this level is still no better than what he said to himself, and it is clearly much stronger than the fluctuation of Aster.
And in reality, martial artists of the same level are definitely much stronger than magicians of the same level, after all, among the martial artists who can make a name for themselves in the camp of Nuoda, which one of them does not have extraordinary anti-demon ability. Even regardless of these, it is still unknown how many years this person has lived, what kind of impact these invisible treasures will have on the battle situation. (To be continued......)
