Chapter 293: Devil Fruit?!
Pujiang River, on the opposite bank of Mingsha Island.
Bang Bang!
A dull, heavy chime pierced through the lifeless gray rain curtain and sounded like a death knell in the direction of the church behind the rows of abandoned factories to the south.
"It's really unlucky."
Dragging her injured right leg, Arenda of the Chasseurs limped to the door of an abandoned factory warehouse with the help of the woman in the pink peacock feather mask.
The woman crouched on the ground, methodically finding the gauze in the medical box and bandaging the wound on his leg, and a dazzling red soon seeped out from the inside of the gauze.
It's not for nothing that Arenda would complain about bad luck.
In the morning, after encountering the pirates, the group encountered a large-scale wave of terror, and in a hurry, they packed their supplies and walked along the dry and decaying river all the way to the east, without making any stops on the way, but they still encountered an oncoming attack.
In the direction of the downstream estuary they headed, there were actually a large number of groups of demons.
Although they didn't know if they were in league with the alien demons who were following them, they immediately fell into the trap of attacking back and forth, and they could only temporarily camp in this abandoned factory.
It was at that time that Ironda was injured when she was hit in the knee by an alien wind ability, and a shocking puddle of blood shot out on the spot.
In fact, if it weren't for Higashinohara's lightning flash in front of everyone, Arenda might have half of his right leg cut off by the terrifying wind blade at this moment, which also made many people feel scared for a while.
Although they are all absolute abilities above the seventh order, those who are not capable of the flesh system are not bad, not to mention that the abilities of these alien demons are so weird and tricky, completely beyond the human cognition of abilities for more than a thousand years, which is impossible to guard.
At this time, everyone's hearts began to rejoice in Kimura Baituo's decision to let them evacuate to avoid the war, otherwise if they really had to fight against that kind of ghost, they would have to shed their skin if they didn't die.
In contrast, what really stunned everyone in the hunter squad was the man wearing the mask of the white-faced fanged Yaksha, as if he had some kind of "unshared" enmity with those alien demons.
Although he did not disobey the order of the Kimura team leader to retreat, once a strange demon caught up with the two sides, the figure of that man was always active in the front line of the broken queen, and he was simply the "invincible king of the broken queen" of their team.
This guy...
What kind of enmity do you have with those demons?
Just as the gentleman Ellenda was thinking about this with a strange expression, the ear-mounted communicator hanging in his ear made another rapid sound, and it was the hunters of the hunting team who were responsible for scouting the surrounding situation.
"Team leader Kimura, there are also a lot of strange demons on the east side of the factory."
"The north side! On the north side, there are also strange demons coming over by the river. ”
Hearing these two continuous reports, everyone's hearts suddenly hung up!
They had been chased from the west by countless dense armies of alien demons, and now they were suddenly attacked on three sides, and the situation seemed to be a little bad.
However, there is a saying that disaster does not go alone.
Just when everyone was worried, the voice in their ears came the voice they didn't want to hear again.
In the direction of the church on the south side of the abandoned factory complex, that is, in the direction where the bell rang just now, someone actually found the figure of a large number of alien demons surrounding them.
East, west, north and south, front and back, left and right.
They were surrounded.
At this moment,
Many people were stunned in their hearts.
This scene is familiar to them, perhaps to the ancestors of the entire human race.
When ancient humans hunted and killed their prey, they took advantage of the panic in the hearts of the prey and forced them into the encirclement that had been set up step by step.
But those walking dead demons outside...
This scene is a silent proof that those ghosts in this hellish world were once and could have been humans? Or are they taunting them as they flee in embarrassment and degenerate into prey?
Hearing the voice in the communication voice, Higashinohara's face also changed subtly.
He walked outside and looked in the direction of the east, and from their distance they could still see the pearl tower that had been slanted into the dark clouds of thick ink like an iron giant.
He had just dealt with these demons, and he clearly knew that most of the terrifying alien demons were second-level green excellent demons.
And according to the experience he had summed up from his two visits to this world, although such a demon was much stronger than the first-level "unconscious" gray ordinary demon,
But to be honest, it's also quite limited,
The level of self-awareness they retain is not enough to push them into such a strategy.
So in other words, Dongyeyuan and they are under siege this time, and there must be alien demons like Ling Wei or even far more than Ling Wei's level behind them.
Just when Higashinohara was pondering for a while, he suddenly heard movement in his ears.
Turning her head to find that it was a familiar navy blue peacock feather mask, Teresa quietly stood beside Higashinohara, looking sideways in a certain direction.
Higashinohara followed her line of sight, glancing at the injured Ellenda and the woman in the pink peacock feather mask snuggled next to him.
Compared to Teresa, the woman had very few words, and Higashinohara hadn't heard a word from her until yesterday.
At this time, he noticed Teresa's gaze, and although he couldn't see the expression under her mask, Higashinohara couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the relationship between these three people was really a little chaotic.
Teresa quickly retracted her gaze, regained the composure of a female Sea King, and walked up to Higashinohara with a smile, "Hakuyasha-kun, the situation is a bit bad this time, what should we do next?" ”
Higashinohara didn't expect Teresa to ask himself this question, he pondered for two seconds, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, you have to ask Team Kimura about this, after all, this evacuation was arranged by Team Leader Kimura." ”
Hearing Higashinohara's words, Teresa couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart.
Of course, she knew that the person who should be asked now was Kimura Hakutaku, but Higashinohara's performance along the way was too brave.
Ever since she was a teenager, Teresa has known how to use her woman's strengths to inspire men's desire to protect, which is her way of survival.
Not to mention that now in this dangerous and lost world, full of all kinds of weird and strange things, there is a completely powerful and calm man next to him.
Teresa subconsciously wanted to lean up and hug her thighs, but the other party was unmoved.
Just when she was a little angry in her heart, a familiar unhurried voice came from the ear-hanging communicator in everyone's ears again, not surprisingly from Kimura Baituo.
"Please gather in the factory warehouse in a minute, I have something to announce."
Hearing the voice from the voice, everyone's hearts couldn't help but settle down a little, and the people who stayed outside began to converge in the direction of the warehouse of the abandoned factory.
Higashinohara glanced at the distance where the factory was, in the Nine Eyes Six Paths. With the blessing of the first sight, he saw the shadows in the shadows between the buildings in the distance.
Not surprisingly, it won't be long before those guys get here.
At this time, don't continue to run away and choose to have a meeting?
He frowned slightly, but turned around and walked in the direction of the warehouse.
......
In the factory warehouse, the people scattered around gathered one after another, but Kimura Shirataka was not seen for a long time.
After almost all the personnel arrived, Kimura Hakutaka, who was wearing a navy blue windbreaker, walked slowly accompanied by Yoshizu Ichiro, the deputy leader of the hunting team.
Yoshitsu Ichiro, who was following behind, was carrying a black lockbox in his hand, and his expression seemed faintly excited.
When the surrounding people saw the main lord appear, their hearts that had just been worried about being surrounded by demons gradually calmed down.
After all, in their cognition, the gentle-smiling Kimura team leader in front of them can be said to be the man who knows the world the most among them.
However, then, as Kimura Hakutaka took the black lockbox from Yoshizu Ichiro behind him and placed it flat on his arm, his other hand slowly opened it in front of everyone.
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
The black lockbox is not a heart-warming banknote, but a neatly arranged green apple that is countless times more exciting than the banknote.
These green apples are about the size of a girl's fist, and they are smooth and green in appearance, but in this lifeless world, they are full of life, as if they have just been plucked from a tree, and they immediately attract everyone's attention.
Kimura Hakutaka coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and showed a familiar gentle smile under the bangs of the long hair on his forehead.
"Everyone has performed very well in the past two days, and your daily remuneration has been credited to your private account in Qihua Bank on time, so you don't have to worry about this, but then, I think it's time for me to fulfill my promise."
Kimura Hakuto paused and continued, "I don't know if any of you here have ever heard of the 'Fruit of Ability'. ”
"Oh yes."
Kimura Shiraku shook his head, smiled and continued, "Whether you have heard of it or not, it doesn't matter, because what is placed in front of you now is not the fruit of ability..."
Speaking of this, his gaze swept over the slightly suffocated crowd below, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Its real name is 'Angel Fruit'." ”
Hearing the words "angel fruit", the originally noisy and uneasy abandoned factory warehouse fell silent for a moment!
All the fear and anxiety in everyone's hearts were washed away by the crisp green apple in front of them, and all that was left in their minds were all kinds of hearsay and rumors about the priceless "angel fruit" in this black market.
This time, the recruiters who entered the team were all seven-star hunters, and when they reached their star level, the money was almost enough.
Therefore, although the "daily salary" offered by Kimura Hakutaka is tempting, it is not enough for them to risk their lives for this.
What really attracts everyone is naturally the "extra reward" in Kimura Baituo's mouth.
Dual-gifted abilities...
Among all living beings in this world, the awakening talent is a gift from God.
But no one will be satisfied with such a gift, and who in the room does not yearn to be favored by Lady Luck once again?
Oh... It seems that there are some people who don't really care about this...
But in any case, these coveted "angel fruits" are in front of you.
At this moment, whether it was Elenda, who was injured and limping when she walked, or Teresa who had just circled Higashinohara, the focus of everyone's eyes in the warehouse was condensed.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Kimura Baituo's lips, and he said to everyone: "It seems that I don't need to say more, everyone knows the meaning behind these 'angel fruits', the biggest feature of these fruits is that they don't need to risk their lives like before'trading with demons', and after eating it, they need to spend a short adaptation period to be able to obtain a new ability unharmed, and these additional surprises I have prepared for you this time, their grades are all ... Blue fruit of the third level. ”
Hearing this, the breath of everyone in the warehouse was rapid again.
The blue fruit represents the blue high-risk ability.
The people in the chasseur team present were born differently and had different starting points, even if they were all the strength of the seventh-order absolute ability now, but the low-level talent that had awakened in the past limited their future growth on the seventh-order path - this had been the prison and nightmare of countless seventh-order absolute ability people for thousands of years.
Now, however, they have a chance to be re-elected.
Kimura Hakutaku didn't mean to hang people's appetites, and he quickly instructed Yoshizu Ichiro, the leader of the hunter team, to distribute the fruits to everyone in the warehouse.
These fruits are evenly distributed in the black code, green and smooth, round and attractive, each one has no logo on it, and Yoshitsu Ichiro is also completely immediately distributed...
This also means that the ability of everyone to get the fruit in their hands may also be a completely random ability.
This kind of unknown and uncertainty suddenly made everyone's hearts go up and down, suffering from gains and losses...
Higashinohara stood at the back of the crowd, and when the seven people in front of him had finished taking it, Yoshitsu Ichiro walked up to Higashinohara wearing a white-faced fanged yaksha mask and handed him the last "green apple" left in the alley.
For this new seven-star hunter with outstanding strength, Yoshizu Ichiro, who also belongs to the [Scarlet of Dawn] Chaser Organization, has been concerned about it for a long time.
But looking up at the white-faced fanged mask on Higashinohara's face, and when he handed the last "green apple" to Higashinohara, he suddenly whispered, "This is what Team Kimura prepared for you... A special gift. ”
A special gift?
Higashinohara took the green apple, and the moment his hand touched the apple, the whole person's attention was attracted by the subtle and smooth touch, and a voice full of temptation inexplicably appeared in his mind.
"Eat it!"
"Eat it!"
"Eat it!"
“......”
Sensing Higashinohara's distraction, Yoshitsu Ichiro didn't pay much attention to it.
In fact, every capable person, including him, would have such and such voices in their minds when they came into contact with such a precious and rare "Angel Fruit".
Yoshitsuichiro felt that this should belong to a subconscious soul resonance, like the innate desire of human beings to become strong and strong.
In front of the crowd in the warehouse, Kimura Shirakuta, who was standing there unmoved, also noticed Higashinohara's distraction, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile faintly.
At this moment, he glanced at the dark clouds under the black sky outside the factory, and seemed to see farther away.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and chuckled as he woke up the distracted hunters in front of him with the fruit in their hands,
"Want to hunt us? But we're not prey, so now, let's eat the 'Angel Fruit'." ”
"The fruit needs to grow,
And fighting,
It's the best soil. ”
