Star Trace Gate

Fate is really something wonderful beyond words.

Ren Ye and the others moved around frantically, dodging as much as possible, hiding from the Lust Village all the way to the Wrath Village, but they still ran into Yu Weifeng and the others.

There were eight people in total. In addition to Lao Yu and Mad Dog, there were two familiar faces, and the remaining four were all strangers.

The two sides met in the living room of the wing. After a brief glance at each other, the butler introduced: "You are all fellow heroes who are here to pay birthday greetings. Let's get to know each other."

Ren Ye and the other three had all changed their appearances. Yu Weifeng didn't recognize them at first, but he inexplicably felt that their temperaments were somewhat familiar.

"Hello, brothers." Yu Weifeng greeted with a smile.

Ren Ye cursed his bad luck in his heart and just nodded perfunctorily in response. Then he walked to the small table on the south side with Lao Liu and others and sat down.

Butler Liu Tang smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "There are still a few people who haven't arrived yet. Please wait here. I will order someone to prepare some good wine and food for everyone."

"Sorry for the trouble." Yu Weifeng replied politely.

After saying hello, Liu Tang turned and left.

As soon as he left, the room suddenly became very quiet and filled with an awkward atmosphere.

Yu Weifeng and his group of eight, seven men and one woman, were sitting at a large table on the north side of the room, talking to each other through their consciousness.

On the south side, Lao Liu pretended to drink tea and used his consciousness to send a message to his three friends: "It's really a haunting ghost. I kept hiding and finally ran into it."

"Since they have accepted the mission to this secret realm, they cannot give up halfway. The same applies to us," Xu Qingzhao said calmly, "I'm afraid we will really have to take the same boat with them to Greedy Village."

A Pu stole a glance at the other party, feeling somewhat puzzled: "We have all killed their members, but why is this group of people a full team again?"

"They are a large group, with about 40 to 50 people in total. There may be some minor personnel adjustments in secret." Ren also curled his lips and replied consciously: "However, this team is indeed very tenacious and can handle things very well."

"How tough are they?" Old Liu sneered, "It's best not to mention these two words in front of me. If they really dare to make some small moves, I will take the initiative... I will deal with tough people first."

Not far away, Yu Weifeng also stole a glance at Ren Ye and the others, and whispered, "These four people are not simple. They must have triggered the SS-level task. This means... their points are very high, perhaps even higher than ours."

"How high can it be? As high as Mount Everest?" Mad Dog got excited: "If we hadn't organized the players and set up a night watch team yesterday, delaying our search for clues, we would have triggered this mission first."

Yu Weifeng didn't want to pay attention to him, so he just sent a message to his teammates: "Whoever goes over there, talk to them and test their quality."

After the words fell, the only woman in the team slowly stood up: "I..."

"I'll go." Mad Dog said excitedly, and while speaking, he had already walked towards Ren Ye and others.

Yu Weifeng frowned, and the woman was speechless, but seeing that the mad dog had already walked past, she did not stop it.

Mad Dog walked to the south side of the house with a kind smile on his face. He put his hands behind his back and started talking: "Where are you from and where are you going? Which camp is that wearing on you...?"

Ren also glanced at him, but before he could reply, Old Liu crossed his legs and replied quietly, "I came from the mass graves in the south village and went to the crematorium in the north village. The flags hanging on my body are used to beat unfilial sons."

"?!" Mad Dog's CPU almost burned out when he heard this response, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the other party was not saying anything good: "Dude, what did you eat this morning? Why are you so hungry?"

"The White Horse Club crossed the well with its mouth, how could that not be exciting?" Lao Liu's vocabulary was far ahead of everyone else on the team.

Mad Dog looked at him sideways, trying his best to control his emotions: "I think that we all have to walk the road together in the future, so it will be easier to communicate and improve our relationship in advance."

"We are here to have fun, so we can go wherever we want. But if you get lost, I can tell you which crematorium is open."

"Shabi! You can't even make a cut." Mad Dog wanted to curse a few words, but felt that he might not be able to win, so he turned around with an angry expression and walked back.

Coming to the table, Mad Dog bent down and sat down, whispering, "They look like four hammers."

Yu Weifeng just heard the conversation between the two and said calmly, "Bullshit, they just don't want to talk to us, and don't want to reveal the truth. I think these four people... forget it, let's not contact them for now, just wait."

After that, the two groups ignored each other.

Just now, when Lao Liu was talking to Mad Dog, Ren was just sitting next to them listening, but he didn't stop them.

He felt that before the rest of the people arrived, the personnel structure of the birthday celebration team was not clear, so there was no need to communicate with Yu Weifeng and his group first. The two sides had a grudge, and even if they were forced to do the task together later, they could not show too weak.

Therefore, it was right for Lao Liu not to speak human words. He just let them be unable to figure out their own pulse and then see what happens next.

After Yu Weifeng and others arrived, there were twelve players in the room, and the two groups stopped communicating and just continued waiting.

The afternoon passed quickly, the sky gradually darkened, and it was evening.

"Tap!"

Another round of footsteps sounded, and the housekeeper Liu Tang pushed the door open and walked in, smiling and shouting, "Everyone, the last group of heroes has arrived. Please follow me to the backyard."

"Okay, let's go!" Yu Weifeng stood up.

Not far away, Ren also noticed that the butler Liu Tang had changed into an outfit suitable for a long journey, and was dressed very smartly.

"Let's go."

He called out to A Pu and the others, then followed Yu Weifeng's team out of the room.

The group walked through the front yard and along the corridor for seven or eight minutes before arriving at the backyard of Gao's house. The place was heavily guarded, with servants holding cold weapons inside and outside the gate, and lanterns hanging in front of each house, as if it was a place to store important supplies.

When he arrived at the backyard, Ren Ye saw four familiar faces again at a glance.

The leader was Old Man Jiang, followed by Old Qu, Xiao Mai, and the unknown follower.

Seeing them, Lao Liu was about to explode. He whispered, "Damn it! These teammates are all good friends of Yu Weifeng. If there is an internal conflict, we will suffer."

Ren also responded softly: "Brother, don't panic. Sheep travel in groups, while tigers always walk alone."

"That's too many sheep." Old Liu looked at Jiang Qin's back and said, "However, from what you have said... this old Deng is quite worldly, better than Yu Weifeng."

While the two were talking, the butler Liu Tang, who was dressed in a suit, waved his hand and shouted, "My fellow heroes, our people are all here. We will be ready to set off after dinner."

Everyone immediately fell silent. Yu Weifeng stood next to Jiang Qin and whispered, "Master, those four people...?"

"Don't say anything more, just follow the butler's instructions." Jiang Qin replied with a smile.

Just now, when Yu Weifeng and others saw Jiang Qin and others, they did not show any surprise, which shows that the former had foreseen their arrival, or...had discussed it in advance.

"On the surface, we are going to celebrate the birthday of Wang Shoucai of Greedy Village, but secretly we are going to the Wang family to retrieve something for our Master Gao." Butler Liu Tang spoke to everyone in a low but clear voice: "I can tell you in advance that Wang Shoucai, the miser, is cautious by nature, and the Wang family is as solid as a rock and the security is very strict. There will be many dangers on this trip. Maybe someone will die, but no matter what, we must not delay our Master Gao's important matter."

When everyone heard this, they felt very nervous. They all knew that the difficulty of this SS-level task must be extraordinary.

"In addition to me, there are also servants led by Xu Bangzi accompanying us on this trip. There are fourteen of them in total." Liu Tang stepped aside and pointed at the strong man standing at the door of the warehouse not far away and said, "He will do all the fighting and killing together with us."

Everyone looked up and saw the burly man standing at the door of the warehouse, nodding at everyone.

He looked to be about 40 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, with a scar under his left eye. He looked honest and simple.

After Xu Bangzi nodded, he shouted to everyone: "You are all heroes, and you will naturally understand that when you act together, you must not implicate others. Anything must be discussed in advance."

Everyone nodded, but no one said anything.

"Okay, now we all know each other and recognize each other as our own people." Liu Tang shouted again: "Everyone, follow me to the living room to have dinner. After the servants finish packing the birthday gifts, we will set off by boat at nine o'clock."

"it is good!"

"Let's go."

"...!"

Everyone responded one by one and rushed to the dining room of Gao's mansion to have dinner in the dark.

After entering, everyone was still divided into two groups. Yu Weifeng, Jiang Qin and others sat at a big table, while Ren Ye and four others sat at a small table.

Not long after, the extremely sumptuous dishes were served on the table. Old Liu looked at the rich fish and meat, the fine wine and tea, and suddenly said uneasily: "Damn it, why do I feel like I'm eating the last meal of my execution?"

Ren Ye's face was solemn, and he whispered back: "You are right, this meal is no different from the last meal before execution."

"Ah?!" Old Liu was stunned.

"The Gao family recruited heroes and only selected teams with high scores to participate, and they selected three at a time." Ren Ye frowned and said, "These are almost the top teams in this star gate, right? But this is not enough, they also sent thirteen servants, two leaders, one civil and one military. If you count the players, that's 31 people! This battle strength is enough to show... how difficult the Wang family of Greedy Village is to deal with!"

When Lao Liu heard this, he said, "Fuck, I really need to eat more, or I won't be able to eat anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qin suddenly came over, holding a wine glass, and sat next to Ren Ye naturally.

The two looked at each other.

Jiang Qin suddenly spoke up, smiling, "Little kid, I guarantee you with my personality and the Jiang family that no one will dare to target you during this trip. If anyone does, they will target me as well. After this trip, if everyone is still alive, you can decide whether to fight to the death or to laugh it off. How do you do?"
