Chapter 299: Unusual Temporary Teammate
After learning about the origin of this Yue City Lord, Xia Jiang began to feel that this task was very meaningful, and he soon learned that this mission was not known to ordinary people, after all, if such a confidential mission could be known by anyone, then the so-called assassination would be meaningless.
Xia Jiang naturally didn't want to ask his seniors how he got this task, compared to this, he just wanted to know about the strength of the team he was about to join quickly.
Since it was not an ordinary task, Xia Jiang naturally didn't have to go to the guild to get it, so he ran directly to Yuecheng and lurked.
In a tavern near the entrance of the city, Xia Jiang ordered a table full of wine, meat and fruits. The wine is the best and strongest wine for the blood veins, not the best, but the characteristics here, there are dozens of barrels on the table and the ground; the meat is all freshly roasted monster meat, that is, the meat of those giant insects, which is rougher and stimulates the blood than the meat of ordinary domestic animals, and has great side effects, ordinary people dare not try it; and fruits are those strong forbidden fruits, which are naturally the category of ordinary people who will die if they eat them.
And so on and so forth, and so on.
But there are also many people like Xia Jiang, but at this moment, no one has ordered as much as he ordered, like a quantity for ten people.
Xia Jiang was just a young man like him, sitting there alone and eating and drinking slowly, which seemed a little strange.
As the tavern guests came and went, he sat there until someone watched him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but lean over.
"Hey, the little brother is quite able to eat and drink!" The person who came was a middle-aged uncle, and he said, sitting directly opposite Xia Jiang.
And it was also in front of this person that Xia Jiang slowed down his action of only caring about eating a little, and began to look at this person slowly. That's right, he did this to attract attention - according to the previous hints, there were eight people involved in the assassination mission, half of whom would meet in this tavern, but they didn't know each other.
"It's okay, it's just that after eating and drinking, I just cultivated my bloodline by the way. Xia Jiang looked at the other party lightly and said. He didn't talk nonsense, he had been cultivating since he came in and ate the first piece of meat, otherwise why would he order all this food that eats the dead? Undoubtedly, all of these things are extremely beneficial to the bloodline.
The other party also listened to the young man in front of him say this, and there was a hint of complexity on the face of Gu Jing Wubo, and he said, "Then when can you eat enough?"
Xia Jiang heard the meaning of his words, and immediately said, "Naturally, it is...... At this time when the table is full. Xia Jiang said, casually throwing out a large piece of meat to the other party, "Try it too." ”
It was also when Xia Jiang threw out this piece of meat, he watched the other party's hand move slightly, originally seemed to be ready to have a finger to clamp it, but in the end, the whole palm grabbed it.
"Yes, the two uncles are very skilled...... the corners of Xia Jiang's mouth moved, and he sighed lightly.
Two of you?
That's right, the person in front of Xia Jiang is naturally not a person, but a combined form of two people, Xia Jiang has long been aware of it, which is why he chose to wait patiently again.
However, after being exposed by Xia Jiang, this uncle's complexion also changed greatly, which made it even more incredible. In the same way, this person began to secretly observe from the moment he found out that a teenager was overeating alone, and became more and more suspicious that the other party might be their partner, but after all, he was too young to be sure.
But now it seems that the young man in front of them is not only their partner, but also the strength is probably above them.
But even after being discovered, the two of them still ate and drank quietly, and entered a state of waiting.
Time passed quickly, and they waited until evening, and just as Xia Jiang and the person in front of him began to consider whether to continue waiting for the last person, a black and inconspicuous spotted cat slowly came to the seat on the side, quietly half-squatting and looking at the food on the table.
Xia Jiang still looked indifferent, but the uncle was a little impatient and grabbed a big fish from the table and threw it at the black cat, as if he wanted to drive it away at once.
It's just that the black hair waved his claws violently, and he actually beat the fish back to the plate intact.
This move undoubtedly made the uncle stunned, and his eyes widened towards the black hair.
And at this moment, the black cat stood up suddenly, and the cat hair all over its body stood upright, and it suddenly felt as if it had suddenly turned into a vicious lion. Before anyone could react, he dodged, came to the ground, and walked straight towards the outside of the tavern.
Xia Jiang also made a move at this moment, he quickly stepped to the counter, paid for this consumption, and then followed the figure of the black cat.
That's right, Xia Jiang not only has mental power, but even intuition surpasses these two uncles, and he guessed that this visitor was not as simple as a cat at the moment of the black cat's arrival.
If a spiritual practitioner destroys his physical body, he can be reborn through guò cultivation, but that also requires a lot of magic weapons and consumables, so some people will find another way. Although Xia Jiang wasn't sure why the other party chose the beast, he was sure that this cat was such a person.
also saw Xia Jiang running away, and the uncle immediately subconsciously followed, and at the same time seemed to look at the black cat again.
The four of them, no, two people and a cat to be exact, made their way through the night that was soon coming, and went straight to the city lord's mansion.
At the same time, in another area, there were also a few people who were in line with them at this moment, calmly walking towards their destination.
These people are more normal than Xia Jiang and the others, but they are not normal, because there are three of them who all look exactly the same, all of them have young faces, and there is also a woman with a frosty face.
Compared with Xia Jiang, this woman also met these three people in another place, but the difference is that Xia Jiang is well aware of the wonder of this world, so he has no prejudice against these people who can be said to be strange, and this woman is completely cold, and she seems to be indifferent to the surrounding qiē.
On the contrary, these three people who look exactly the same complain along the way.
"Hey boss, do you say that there is something wrong with this sister, I am not surprised to see our 'mirror three gods'!"
"Yes, third brother, you see that others will at least stay away when they see us, but she has no reaction at all, and now she is being followed by us like this, and she doesn't say a word, in case we don't ......"
"Ahem, you two don't say a word, and besides, does this little sister look so old? Sister and sister's screaming, I think she has always just fallen out of love, so she is not in the mood, and she happened to be entrusted to this task!"
"Wow, boss, when you say that, it seems to be true!"
"yes, yes......"
In this way, the three of them have hardly stopped nagging since they gathered there, but this woman has never said a word, which seems a little weird.
And these four people, as well as the four people of Xia Jiang, turned out to be the eight people who assassinated the Lord of Yue City this time. It wasn't until Xia Jiang finally saw it in front of the City Lord's Mansion that he immediately felt that it was unexpected, because in his imagination, the other seven people must all be powerful characters, they should all be the kind of men who are fierce and domineering or handsome, and they are all normal mercenaries, who knows......
However, in this way, it made Xia Jiang feel that this mission became interesting.
After a little contact between the eight people, they were divided into two teams again, Xia Jiang still sneaked into the periphery of the mansion with Uncle Heti and the black cat, while the other four infiltrated directly into the mansion.
In the midst of this, Xia Jiang's mind quickly began to analyze their team.
Two uncles who share a physical body or a special initiate, Xia Jiang can conclude that their fighting style belongs to the tacit cooperation of joint forces, as well as skill combinations and explosions, and can be taken by surprise, as long as they are not discovered by the other party before this, they can defeat the strong with the weak, and it is also this, on the way just now, Xia Jiang listened to the uncle praise him for his youthful prowess and said: "Little brother, you are so powerful, you don't need to make a move, just watch from the side." This sentence is enough to show that they are very confident in themselves.
And the little black cat, although the body may be weaker than that of humans, but who knows what kind of exercises it is practicing and what route it takes? This world magic weapon is strange, as long as it is used properly, it is incomparably powerful, is it possible that this little black cat chooses the cat body has its own uniqueness. Moreover, this little black cat has been so arrogant since it appeared, and it seems that he disdains to be with them, and he must be very strong.
In addition, the three of them are different from their appearance, the three of them look exactly the same, they are called brothers, they are all young, it is difficult to guess what their relationship and style are, but Xia Jiang judged from their self-proclaimed "mirror three gods" and intuition that the three of them should belong to the fighting style, and they should belong to the kind of joint killing moves that will not have any strong joint killing moves, but they are not so simple to be killed.
And then there's the cold woman.
But speaking of this woman, Xia Jiang didn't know if he had seen it anywhere, he was a little familiar, he only felt that this woman was really indifferent, and she exuded a cold aura all over her body, and she didn't know how she came into contact with this task, which made people feel that this task was really compatible with her. As for the woman's cultivation and strength, at present, her cultivation should be similar to his, and her strength is probably close to the peak of the spiritual cultivator.
Therefore, it seems that this time their assassination mission should be nine out of ten, Xia Jiang himself is absolutely confident, if there is a possible failure, then only there will be infighting between them! That's right, for these seven people, Xia Jiang is naturally secretly on guard, so at a critical time, he will definitely focus on the task.
And just in the middle of Xia Jiang's thoughts, the four people who were responsible for infiltrating the interior of the mansion had already come to the outside of a tower where the Yue City Lord lived.
The tower has seven floors, and is surrounded by a faint and imperceptible energy guard, which can be immediately detected if the slightest fluctuation is approached outside. When four people arrived, they immediately stopped and began to wait quietly for the arrival of the other four.
The two teams are in contact and then separated, so naturally there is a spiritual agreement in this regard, once they lock on to the target as the infiltrators, the other team will immediately come over and assemble!
