Chapter 19: Treasure in the Sand
In the corner of the stands, several people hidden in the shadows whispered:
"Arhan lost ......"
"Ordinary S-class hunters can't sanction this guy anymore."
"Stranger, coming to Zeta must have something to do with Menes, and she can't be allowed to succeed!"
"After that, let our people abstain when they meet him, it seems that he still has a lot of hole cards, but we can't afford this loss, anyway, no matter how strong the guy is, it's a dead end for the butcher."
"Menes's calculations are good, but unfortunately, we won't give up the power we have, Your Majesty, you better be a mascot."
These black-robed guests in the shadows are all veterans of Assasin, and after watching the match between Su Ling and Arhan, they made a general analysis of his strength, thinking that even in the S-rank, he is the best.
I am afraid that the only ones who can deal with him are the butcher and the sandstorm, and the strength of this foreign aid invited by Menes should not be underestimated.
In order to reduce their losses, they decided to abstain from all the matches they encountered in the future to preserve their strength in order to retain enough viability in the subsequent power turmoil.
At this moment, Su Ling in the ring didn't know that he would spend a rather boring period of time after that, because every game would not have his share.
Now he was standing in the middle of the ring, looking at the quicksand beneath his feet, the last symbol of Arhan's burning life, but which would soon melt into the desert without leaving a trace.
Su Ling was a little melancholy, this cannibalistic desert, no matter whether it was high or lowly, it seemed that there was no respite, and it was not unreasonable for Menes to want to change all this.
Shaking his head, putting aside these trivial thoughts, looking at the referee outside the field, he waved his hand and shouted: "Referee, still don't announce the result?" ”
The referee wrapped in a headscarf was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice:
"The victor is, a warrior from a foreign land! For the first time in so many years, an outsider has defeated his opponent in Zeta's ring, Zeta respects the strong, let's give him a round of applause! ”
Su Ling originally thought that he, an outsider, would not be welcomed, but he didn't expect a huge applause to erupt in the entire venue:
"Mighty Outlander, thank you for bringing us such a wonderful battle!!"
He was a little messy in the wind for a while, no wonder those desperate and vicious gangsters like to come to Zeta, it turns out that here, absolute strength can ignore all rules.
There are even a lot of beautiful sexy girls who flatter him, and it's been a long time since a foreigner has come to Zeta to participate in the highest level of the Blood War, but every time he appears, it always causes a sensation.
Su Ling became a star for a while, but he couldn't be happy.
This referee praised him on the surface, but in fact he was provoking confrontation, and now he can be said to be in the spotlight, or it can be said that he is the target of the public, gamblers naturally will not care about his identity, but the Senate and the Temple will definitely be.
At this juncture, his involvement is easily reminiscent of Menes.
Now if you think about it a little, you will find that his identity is so abrupt, he has moved from the dark side to the bright side, and his every move will be stared at.
Although he was a little unhappy, Su Ling still accepted this fact.
Pushing aside the "fans" who stood in the way to ask for autographs and inquiries, he walked wearily towards the hotel.
It wasn't easy to win, and he left a long trail of blood along the way.
Arhan finally manipulated the Yellow Sands' attack, and although it was not fatal, it gave him a bruise all over his body, and he had to recuperate for a while.
The hotel is equipped with a recuperation service, which is specially opened for fighters, so Su Ling's injuries healed quickly, and he originally looked miserable.
The gains and lessons from this battle were equally heavy, and Su Ling reviewed his mistakes while recovering from his injuries.
Originally, he was just a weird special attack, and he was a little overwhelmed when he encountered this kind of strong person with extremely high "people" skills.
If it weren't for Arhan's pride and conceit, he would have been tricked by him, and ordinary people would have been grabbed and fell to the ground, and they really had no ability to resist.
Overall, Zeta's experience has taught him that psionic energy is not the only way to become stronger, and that many skills that can be learned by ordinary people can be more powerful in the hands of these "supermen", such as the flywheel of the shadow assassin, the fighting skills of Arhan, and so on.
Just as he was learning his best to prepare for the next match, the organizers told him that he would not have to play all the relevant matches after that because his opponent had abstained, except for the butcher.
Su Ling was stunned at the time, aren't you predators who would rather die than surrender? Why did you vote before you started?
Thinking about it a little, it suddenly dawned on him, it must have been done by the old coward Assasin, who didn't want to lose his elite power and let the butcher take care of himself.
He, the Queen, the rest of the organization, the three forces have clashed, both in and out of the ring.
Su Ling estimated that even if he won the butcher, the turmoil after that would not subside, and Menes still had a long way to go if he wanted to regain the supremacy of the queen, among which sacrifice and bloodshed were essential.
This ring match is only the beginning of the game between the two sides, and it is far from over.
However, for Su Ling, he doesn't need to care so much, defeat the butcher, bring his sincerity to the queen, and negotiate conditions to reap benefits.
Watching the game without a game, Su Ling is watching the game in the ring these days in addition to recuperating from his injury.
He stared at the butcher alone.
The harvest is huge.
This little boy with dead fish eyes is killed with one hit every time, and before killing his opponent, he will always notify the opponent, as if Hades is making an invitation.
Any attack that escapes will inexplicably fail, such as guns, hidden weapons such as hidden arrows, and must be launched by the opponent himself in close combat to injure the butcher.
In summary, butchers have the following two characteristics:
1. One hit kills, and it will always teleport to the enemy's face.
2. Long-range immunity, must be melee damage.
Su Ling couldn't think of any ability to do this, and he couldn't find the relevant ability when he searched through the psionic pedigree table, and the only similar "dead word" was also cursed through the medium of sound.
Zeta's abilities seem to be rare, and most of them are not recorded in the pedigree, presumably due to their reluctance to reveal.
Such an opponent is really no different from a butcher, saying that if you die, you have to die, taking pleasure in killing, elusive, he is a little frightened.
But it's all come to this point, you can't give up, right?
Harpy said that the desert would bring him luck, but Su Ling actually cared a lot.
When he was bored during the game, Menes summoned him.
This summoning is special because it is online.
Correspondence, to be precise.
Here are some of his correspondence with the Queen:
Menes: "My warrior, I'm happy with your performance, you haven't used your full strength yet, have you?" To be honest, I didn't expect much from you to defeat the butcher, but now I'm confident. ”
Su Ling: "Thank you Your Majesty for your appreciation, but I'm more curious, what kind of reward I can get for cooperating with you?" ”
Menes: "You should also be very strange, this historical place, shouldn't be so poor and weak, it is said that a long time ago, there were many oases of water and grass here, what caused the later Chidi Qianli?" Where do those abundant resources go? Do you have any ideas? ”
Su Ling: "If a place is rich in products but suddenly becomes nothing, then it must not have disappeared out of thin air, but has been "hidden". ”
Menes: "Yes, Zeta's desertification is too abnormal to hide it, it's man-made, and in the desert, there is a treasure buried belonging to the gods, and in my hand, I hold the key to open the door to the treasure house." ”
Through these exchanges, Su Ling can basically conclude one thing:
There are miracles in Zetari, and they are likely to be on a grand scale, and the queen has the relevant information in her hands, and maybe even an artifact.
This also explains why the first Queen of the Sand was able to establish Zeta, which may be inseparable from the treasure left by the gods.
It's even more enticing than Avalon!
