The author has something to say:
-I put the words first, this is not the content of the main text, there is no charge! -
PS:
After starting to work, the time for writing articles is not fixed. I am afraid that everyone will forget the previous content every time they read the update, so I specially make a brief summary of the previous situation here, so as not to keep up with your emotions, and save you from spending time looking back at the previous articles. plot
And, the next update time will be after the holiday, and before NO.13, it will make up [-] yuan (I went to drive by myself, and there is no internet all the way, thank you)
--【Recap】--
Under Wu Wuji's suggestion, the mercenary team came to the town of hunting deer, which is famous as the hometown of beasts.
Zhang Yanwu temporarily left the team for unknown reasons.
Qi Bai fought with the people from the Blood Beast Management Bureau in the central square, causing a commotion in a small area.In the end, he successfully formed a bond with the Black Panther.
A new character appears: Roy Rhodes.
Identity: Suspected (?) student of Lu Ju.
For the first time, this person falsely used Lu Zhu's past image.
As mentioned in the last chapter, after the black panther formed a bond, it mutated to scare away everyone, and Qi Bai fainted.Nothingness has dealt with the patrol agency and the animal trainers, and now the mercenary team is going back to the hotel——
Feng Siliu is a woman who does everything.
Although she seems to live a life similar to these rough old men on weekdays, when it comes to some specific things, she can often show amazing ability to balance the water and be careful with her own characteristics. .
She opened seven suites.
It's all for one person and one room, and she even counted Bida in it.
Make sure that no one in this team can suffer.
The luxuriousness of the room demonstrates the terrifying power of her retaliatory consumption after she got rich overnight for the first time.
Except for the one that is slightly more modest than that of Bida, the other suites have separate halls, master bedrooms, guest bedrooms, bathrooms and even conference halls.In short, one suite can accommodate six of them plus an unmutated panther, but now they have seven rooms.
Wu Wuji looked at the bill and said numbly: "You should be glad that Qi Bai has fainted now."
Xun Chao: "Even if he didn't faint, he won't wake up after seeing the bill."
"I'm still curious." Wu Wuji looked at Feng Siliu and said, "How could you even open a suite for that leopard?"
Feng Siliu glanced at the well-behaved Bida next to him who had just completed the contract, shrugged: "The front desk said that you can open a supreme VIP card if you spend [-] yuan at a time. I'm only short of [-] yuan, so I'll make up the whole."
"What's the use of Supreme VIP?" Xun Chao asked.
"I don't know." Feng Siliu said, "But I find that as a newly rich person, it is difficult for me to reject any consumption trap."
Everyone was silent.
Lu Zhe said, "A room in Qibai?"
"You and Qi Bai are upstairs, and the others are on this floor." Feng Siliu saw that he was hugging Qi Bai who was in a deep sleep all the way, and couldn't bear to say, "Are you tired? Why don't you make Zhang feel tired?" Shall I carry him up?"
"..."
"Wait, let me just say that something was missing along the way..."
Thanks to her reminder, everyone suddenly reacted belatedly: "So, where is Lao Zhang?"
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows invisibly, he didn't intend to participate in the discussion of this issue, and said, "I'll take him up to rest first."
Then, as if he didn't hear everyone's questioning just now, he walked straight into the elevator not far away.
"We'll have a meeting when he wakes up, we have something to talk about." Wu Wuji pressed the floor for him.
"it is good."
At this time, Xun Chao outside was pulling out the interstellar communication terminal to make a call, probably to contact Zhang Yanwu.
With a click, the elevator door closes and the picture is blocked.
Lu Xun sighed lightly.
Although he didn't have much contact with Zhang Yanwu, Lu Ju could almost see through the obsession in Zhang Yanwu's dull expression.
Although he has no obligation to conceal Zhang Yanwu, there is no need to expose him either.
Ever since Lu Xun detected Zhang Yanwu's innate bloodline, he felt very at ease with him.This alpha shouldn't be in mortal danger, but from the looks of it now, it seems that he was stumbled by something.
Want to find out?
The person in his arms suddenly moved slightly, and Lu Xun looked down.Qi Bai, who was sleeping soundly, slammed his mouth and muttered something.
It wasn't until he stuffed Qi Bai into the soft blanket that he heard clearly what Qi Bai said.
"Big... leopards... kill them..." Bajibabajizui finished the dream in one go, "—Come on!"
Lu Xun laughed silently.
He thought that the comfortable life of Bida in the first half of his life might be over.
Because he seems to have found an uneasy master for it.
In the hotel corridor, Xun Chao and Wu Wuji hadn't returned to their rooms.
Zhang Yanwu, who left the team suddenly, did not completely disappear.But he didn't answer the phone, and only sent back a message to Xun Chao.
- I'm fine.
Xun Chao clicked his tongue speechlessly after seeing the message, and then sent him a voice message:
"Nonsense! What can you do as an alpha?! I mean, there will be a meeting later, when will you come back?... By the way, where have you been?"
At this moment, Lu Xun took Qi Bai upstairs, and Feng Siliu had already taken the leopard to settle down, leaving only nothingness and not rushing back to the room, waiting here with Xun Chao for Zhang Yanwu's reply.
But no matter how much Xun Chao made phone calls, voice calls, and bombarded news, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and no response.
Finally, Wu Wuji patted him on the shoulder and gave him a task: "You are responsible for contacting him. I'll go catch up on sleep first."
Xun Chao gritted his teeth and agreed, and at the same time used his insufficient patience to waste Zhang Yanwu.
"Old Zhang, it's not right for you to disappear without making a sound...Even if you eat, drink and gamble behind our backs, you still have to find some time to share with me your feelings after whoring!"
"Damn, brother Zhang, it's not the first time for an old man to have sex. You don't know what time it is, do you?! There is something important to announce, hurry up, don't miss it."
"... It's been two hours! Will you come back?!"
Just such a waste, it took until twelve o'clock at night.
After catching up on sleep, Wu Ji said in the group chat of the mercenary team: "Go to the captain's room for a meeting."
At the same time, Xun Chao finally received Zhang Yanwu's belated reply:
—Come back later.
Xun Chaogang scolded: "Damn! If you can't get a fart in a long time, it's dead."
Before the words fell, the terminal crackled, and in the blink of an eye, several messages from Zhang Yanwu came in:
--Bad signal.
--understood.
--do not wait for me.
...
A few minutes later, everyone had arrived at the door of Qi Bai's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Didn't you say you're awake?" Xun Chao asked.
Wu Wuji was also puzzled, and took out his interstellar phone to confirm that it was indeed Qi Bai who sent him the message after he woke up.
So they knocked again.
Feng Siliu watched them knock on the thick door, and couldn't help but said: "Although we are all teammates, I don't want to say something nasty..."
Wu Wuji and Xun Chao looked at her: "?"
Feng Siliu said: "But luxury hotels have doorbells, dogs."
Wu Wuji and Xun Chao who are used to living in poor and dilapidated guest houses: "..."
"Just getting rich, it's normal that the spirit is still not on par with the material level." Wu Wuji rang the doorbell with a half-smile.
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind them, full of hoarseness and laziness after sleeping, and said with a smile:
"Why haven't you gone in yet?"
"I don't know what Qi Bai is doing inside, if you don't come to open the door..."
The next moment, several people suddenly turned their heads and saw Qi Bai and Lu Zhu.
Xun Chao said: "——Why the hell are you outside?!"
Qi Bai was so yelled at that he took a step back and bumped into Lu Xun's arm, so he leaned against Lu Xun in this position, shrugged and said, "I woke up in the middle of my sleep, I'm going to find Liuqian."
Sleeping alone, Qi Bai inevitably had those nightmares again, and it was almost normal to be awakened.
But considering that he could sleep surprisingly soundly next to Lu Xun, Qi Bai went to the next door and knocked on Lu Xun's door.
It's not that Qi Bai is not curious, why he is always so happy when relying on Liuqian.
In fact, despite having his glands removed, Qi Bai is still an omega in essence, most of the time, he is very sensitive to smells.Just like sometimes he would inadvertently smell Zhang Yanwu's powerful and suppressed pheromone, which made his nerves tense.
Although Liuqian is an ordinary person without glands, his body always emits some faint smells that make him feel good.Sometimes Qi Bai thinks it's an illusion, but when he sleeps next to Liu Qian, he also feels that Liu Qian may have soothing incense on him.
The knock on the door was muffled, but fortunately Lu Zhu was not sleeping at the time, so he wouldn't miss the seemingly invisible movement.
The final result was that the drowsy Qi Bai broke into the room and threw Lu Zhu down on the bed...
Then got a good night's sleep.
After listening to Qi Bai's words, Xun Chao couldn't believe it: "Are you a kid in kindergarten, can't live without you? No, kids aren't as clingy as you, why do you have to sleep together?"
Feng Siliu's acceptance of this was obviously much higher.She pursed her lips, thought about it seriously, and said, "I will open one less room in the future."
"Stop," Wu Wuji waved his hand, with a look of reluctance to express any opinions, and said,
"Hurry up and open the door and talk about business."
Deer Hunter is famous for its variety of blood beasts, and most of them have advanced mutation power.Every year, many beast trainers will come here to hunt some blood beasts that are strong enough to go back.
And the Sauser Plain outside the city, because it inhabits most of the blood beasts on this planet, has become the area that everyone is most keen to set foot on.
Especially in the central area of Schöse, in a forest shrouded in mist all year round due to unknown reasons, very powerful blood beasts often evolve.
More and more people came here here, and although the Deer Hunting Town developed because of this, the blood beasts in the Schöser Plain were greatly affected.
In order to prevent the Sauser Plain from being ransacked by too many foreign animal trainers, which not only affects the ecological balance but also hinders the advanced evolution of blood beasts, the deer hunting government and private animal trainers jointly established the Wild Blood Beast Management Bureau and formulated a hunting policy. :
The Schössel Plains are only open for hunting in August each year.
Except for this time, it is illegal to enter the Sauser Plain to hunt blood beasts at any other time, and they will be arrested, and in serious cases, they may even be imprisoned.
It is now mid-September, obviously, Wu Wuji didn't bring a mercenary team to hunt.
"Just get straight to the point."
Qi Bai had just had a good night's sleep, and now he was a little tired, with his head drooping, as if he was going to lie down at any time, "What are you doing so mysteriously, those who don't know think we are plotting to rob Starlink."
"The point is, I accepted a bounty mission."
As soon as Wu Wuji said these words, Qi Bai's laziness just now faded away instantly, and he sat up straight all of a sudden.
"What?!"
Except for Lu Ju, the others seemed shocked by Wu Wuji's words.
"Calm down your expressions. It's not a matter of course for you to search for mercenaries to accept bounty missions? Why should you be surprised?"
Xun Chao: "Although it is true to say so, it is not what you said before. The bounty mission is time-consuming and life-threatening. After all, it is not as cost-effective as stealing..."
Nothingness and interrupted him: "What I'm saying is that the rewards of most bounty tasks are not proportional to the risks involved."
"So you mean, the reward for this mission is very rich?"
"Ah."
Now Qi Bai was also interested, and just about to ask, Wu Wuji took the initiative to mention the task he took on.
"There are rumors that many years ago, in the foggy forest in the center of the Sauser Plain, there was a blood beast that was more powerful than ordinary high-level mutants. Its origin and attributes were unknown—it was a bit like the leopard Qibai.
Everyone fears it, but covets it because of its power.There was once a nobleman who wanted to hunt it, and specially dispatched a large hunting group of hundreds of people for this purpose. "
Nothingness and paused, pretending to be mysterious, "However, all the teams that went to hunt it were wiped out overnight."
"Wow, so strong." Everyone cheered.
"Do you remember that weird sculpture in the central square?"
The crowd nodded.
Wu Wuji said: "It is said that the blood beast looks like that... The deer hunting people are afraid that the alarm of the hunters will anger it and make it run out to hurt innocent people, so they carve out its appearance and put it in the center A square for worship and awe."
Qi Bai was confused: "Since it's so scary, why are there still people going to the Wulin?"
"That's all I have to say."
"In fact, there are still many people who are not afraid of death these years, trying to hunt down the mysterious blood beast, but they went to the fog forest, but they never saw it again. Some people suspect that it is in a long sleep - this It is the incubation period for the evolution of high-level blood beasts, and when the long sleep is over, it will become stronger."
"So, so!" Xun Chao seemed very interested in this kind of story-telling thing, "Is our mission to hunt it?!"
"Do you think it's possible?" Feng Siliu gave him a blank look.
"Naturally it is impossible to hunt it." Wu Wuji said,
"Okay, I'm getting a bit long-winded. To put it simply, at the end of the open hunting day last month, there was a team of animal trainers who arrived late, trying to get more days of open hunting, because they came from far away. It would take more than half a year to come to other planets. They hoped that the deer hunting would be convenient. But the deer hunting government refused.
That team was courageous enough. They didn't know how to escape the suburban guards and slipped into the foggy forest. As a result, they have lost track since then, and there is no news from them to this day.
Because it was an illegal invasion and hunting, the deer hunting government did not intend to rescue after learning of the situation..."
In fact, it may not be because of illegal intrusion. The Blood Beast Management Bureau on the deer hunting side doesn't like the leader of the animal trainer team.
It was a young man named Peta. Their family had been excellent animal trainers for generations, and they had built a vast zoo second only to Yao Lanyuan, the number one animal trainer in the interstellar world.It can also be regarded as a family of five galaxies.
However, in his family's zoo, 70.00% of the blood beasts come from the deer-hunting Sauther Plain.
In short, before the open day policy was formulated, the Petardi family was a major culprit in destroying the ecological balance of the Souther Plain.It is normal for the deer hunting government to dislike them.
But now that Peta is about to come of age, he wants to add another hero to his zoo, so he recklessly comes to Deer Hunting Town, trying to catch the legendary blood beast that is sleeping forever.
Unexpectedly, bad luck, missed the open day, sneaked in and failed to come out.
Peta's father always believed that Peta and the others were just lost, not dead, and asked people from the Deer Hunting Government and the Blood Beast Administration to come forward to rescue them.
But for the deer hunting side, no matter how powerful the nobles of other countries are, it doesn't matter to them.The duke's obstinacy cannot change the rules already set by the deer hunting government.
While confronting the deer hunting government, the Duke issued a bounty mission to the mercenary market:
[Recruit 3-5 wandering mercenary teams and sneak into the fog forest for rescue. 】
Void and explained to them: "The reward of the task is to select a high-level blood beast from the Duke's beast garden to form a bond. You know, relying on ourselves, it is very difficult to have a high-level blood beast in this life—"
He paused, and said to Qibai, "Stop laughing, you are an exception."
Qi Bai: "Hey."
"In short, as long as the task is successfully completed, all of us can get a deed beast for free." Wu Wuji concluded.
"If it's just rescue, the risk factor should not be high. Why did they recruit so many people?" Qi Bai asked.
Nothingness and glanced at him, which means that you have discovered the key information.
Qi Bai raised his eyebrows in embarrassment.
"Peta is an Alpha, and his natural bloodline is a biological mutation, and the team of animal trainers he leads are all Alphas. I also learned from the employer... Each of them brought a high-level blood beast."
Nothingness and to the point.
But everyone understands as soon as they hear it.
Such a strong team will not be trapped because of some small setbacks.
The reason why they couldn't escape for more than half a month must be very troublesome.
"This is a mandatory bounty mission. As soon as the mission time limit expires, it will be considered complete regardless of whether we find someone or find a corpse. This is very beneficial for us to fish in troubled waters."
"Wow, you're teaching us sneaking again."
"No, I'm just pointing out the way for you. In this kind of collective mission, the reward for paddling is what many mercenaries dream of."
Wu Wuji said to Xun Chao who was talking, "Perhaps, you think we will be better than the other teams that take on the mission?"
Xun Chao shook his head.
Qi Bai refused to accept it: "I have a big leopard!"
"I want to emphasize that no one can do anything unless it is necessary. Because it is illegal to kill any blood beast in the foggy forest, and it is illegal to kill any blood beasts in the fog forest, and the violation of the law by wandering mercenaries will be directly controlled by the Nova Alliance...you Want to be caught with your big leopard?"
Qi Bai didn't speak, and Wu Wuji said again:
"I know you were very excited to form a bond with such a powerful blood beast, but I want to remind you that now you have the energy of a black panther in your body, and you will lose control if you don't pay attention. Don't talk about fighting at that time. Death."
"..."
Empty and non-stop, went on:
"A long time ago, I wanted to say, you are the captain, don't rush to the front every time something happens, what does it mean to plan a strategy to win a thousand miles, what does it mean to be calm and self-sufficient. You'd better see how other people's captains are. It’s really impossible to look at six thousand.”
"It's not like you to ride on other people's heads every time you encounter a problem and beat them up. This captain makes you look like an assaulter. It's shameful."
"..."
After being splashed with cold water, Qi Bai curled his mouth and shrank his neck, trembling and speechless.
After a while, he suddenly raised Lu Zhu's arm, and quietly slid into his arm, still muttering something.
Lu Xun listened for a while, but couldn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What?"
Qi Bai raised his volume and shouted:
"I hate nothingness!"
Lu Xun laughed.
But Wu Wuji was not surprised by this, and said, "Thank you, it's the third time this quarter."
Zhang Yanwu didn't come back all night, and he didn't show up until the next day when they were going to do the physical examination items attached to the task registration.
The assembly point for physical examination is in the courtyard of an old castle-like house in the south of Deer Hunting City.
But at nine o'clock in the morning, the place was already full of people.
The particularity of this mission is that it is illegal for mercenaries to enter the foggy forest for rescue, so their mission assembly point must also avoid the regular mercenary system.
But because of its strong rewards and more opportunities to paddle, there are only a lot more people who come to it than other tasks.
At this moment, Xun Chao is still trying to get in touch with Zhang Yanwu with the interstellar communication - after all, this is the most successful alpha in their team, and even if he doesn't come, their team will look a bit stretched.
And Wu Wuji was a little more nervous than expected, he was already repeating the same words for the fourth time:
"There are a lot of alphas among so many wandering mercenaries. Whether we can take over the mission is still unknown. Fortunately, Qibai and his black panther can probably give us extra points, but Liuqian has no spiritual power or innate blood. It's a trouble, now let's talk about helping Liu Qian cheat later..."
The so-called cheating is to help Liu Qian escape detection.
The person who issued the mission was on a distant planet, and it was too late to catch up, so recruiting mercenaries here in real time was the fastest way, but this also led to uneven strength of the people who received the mission.
They have to choose the best ones to ensure the completion of the task.
The noble duke who issued the mission was rich indeed.
The measuring instrument they took out should be the most advanced equipment in the five galaxies today.
It doesn't require people to release any energy, just put your hand on it, pierce the skin lightly, and get some blood, from which you can detect the strength of the blood in this person's body.
Within 1 seconds, the machine will give five levels of evaluation based on the detected results:
The first and second levels belong to the weak bloodlines, which are of no help to the task and will be eliminated directly. The third level is left for in-depth inspection, and the fourth level is directly passed.
Level [-] is naturally a pass, but there are very few people who have reached level [-] blood power, whether they are beta or alpha, they are very popular, and they probably don't have the time to do such time-wasting tasks.
Sometimes you will find that the blood power level of a beta is even higher than that of an alpha, which is a normal phenomenon.
Since the evolution of human beings, there have been countless situations in which talented bloodlines have been crushed by leaps and bounds.
That's what testing is all about.A level [-] and level [-] alpha is naturally not as good as a level [-] beta.
The problem now is that they have to help Liu Qian, an ordinary person who has no spiritual power and no natural bloodlines, to cheat.
Qi Bai asked cautiously: "Why don't you let Liu Qian try it? Didn't you say that he absorbed that energy in his body?"
Wu Wuji immediately made a silent gesture, and then told him:
"We can't gamble on this. After all, there is no precedent for reference before [-]. Who can say for sure how much he has absorbed, or whether there is a time limit after absorbing it? Whether he can't use it now, or has it been exhausted, Are you right?"
Qi Bai pondered for a moment, glanced at Lu Zhe quietly, and said to Wu Wuji: "Indeed... I can't take risks, I have to help him find a beast."
Their plan is simple to say, it is to paste Qi Bai's blood on Lu Xun's hand with invisible glue in advance.Simple and crude, but effective.
After a few minutes, their team's name was called.
Xun Chao over there put away the interstellar communication, and said anxiously: "I can't contact Zhang Yanwu, this is the first time he disappeared like this, and I don't know where he went."
Wu Wuji said: "Zhang Yanwu has sufficient self-protection ability, so that no accidents will happen in a peaceful area. I am more worried now. Without an alpha, our team's comprehensive strength assessment may not be good."
They were still talking about Zhang Yanwu, Qi Bai glanced at Lu Xun very quickly.
Lu Xun caught his gaze.
"how."
Facing Lu Zhu's overly calm expression, Qi Bai couldn't ask.
In fact, he had been suspecting since yesterday that before they separated, Zhang Yanwu was still with Lu Zhu, but after the meeting in the central square, Zhang Yanwu was no longer there.
Lu Xun has not given any explanation for this, and Qi Bai is also weighing in his heart whether it is necessary to ask.
"you……"
Qi Bai hesitated for a long time, but just as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by another voice.
"Where's the sb1414 mercenary team? Please come here for inspection—"
When the other mercenary teams waiting for the test in the courtyard heard the name, they all laughed, and there was no sarcasm or disdain in their voices.
They can naturally feel that this team is full of betas, so they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
The detection equipment was built on the dry fountain pool, and after walking up a few steps, there were three equipment operators and two main task leaders, and they would also follow into the fog forest when the time came.
The detection of Qi Bai et al. is very fast.
Their bloodline power is single, and there is no secondary advancement, and beta itself has no spiritual power, so it is very simple to detect.
Nihility and being judged to be level [-], if he is not in the team, he can be eliminated on the spot.
Xun Dynasty is the third level, and Feng Siliu is the fourth level.
Their accompanying bloodlines are inherently special, so this result is also expected.
What surprised everyone was Qi Bai.
As a beta, he should be the first fifth-level bloodline power ever detected by this machine.
Even the staff were dumbfounded, and repeatedly observed the equipment data to confirm that it was indeed the fifth class.
Now not only the surrounding mercenaries were in an uproar, but even Wu Wuji and they were also surprised - they knew that Qi Bai's blood power was stronger than ordinary betas, but they never thought that its inner potential was so great.
"What is your accompanying blood?" The person in charge of the task selection asked very curiously.
Because the blood powers that can be evaluated as the fifth level so far are all alpha or omega, and those like Xun Chao and Feng Siliu are already quite standard in beta.
Regarding the other party's question, Qi Bai acted nonchalantly: "I don't know. It's probably due to the strengthening of attributes."
"I haven't seen this level of attribute enhancement. Your blood power is not only the fifth level, but also an attribute with quite high data at this level."
The man thought for a while, and gave a conjecture that he thought was relatively reliable.
"May I ask you, have you ever done gland extraction—"
"what!"
Qi Bai stomped his feet, as if he suddenly remembered something, interrupted the other party, and said, "There is one person in our team who can't make it today, he is an alpha, B-level!"
The other party was interrupted, and his thinking was also interrupted. He frowned and replied to Qi Bai:
"I'm sorry to inform you that those who didn't come to the test on time can't register for the task. Moreover, your team's overall strength is currently rated as C, and there are twelve teams that are stronger than you."
It means that they have a high probability of losing the election.
At this moment, Wu Wuji walked up the steps with Bida, who had been obediently and quietly by his side, and motioned for the other party to evaluate Bida's strength.
The moment the man saw Bida, his eyes almost popped out, and he stared hopelessly for a long time before he said:
"It... it really formed a bond?"
After waiting for an affirmative answer, the task selector was obviously very sorry.
"Well, being able to have such a powerful blood beast can really add a lot of points to you. We didn't bring the testing equipment for the blood beast this time, but as a beast trainer, I can feel its inner strength... This is a beast species with ultra-high-level attributes, and I will raise the overall strength assessment to B+ for you, but..."
The man crossed Wu Wuji and Qi Bai, put his gaze on Lu Zhu, and said, "You seem to have another team member, does he want to participate? Maybe it will lower the score."
"Yes!" Qi Bai resolutely said.
They were fully prepared to cheat just now, so naturally they couldn't let it go now.
Several staff members looked at each other in blank dismay, apparently unable to understand the logic of their behavior: B+, just enough to take on the task.Once you count that person, you'll probably have to drop back below a C.
Qi Bai doesn't care about these.
He thought that his acting skills naturally brought Lu Ju to the equipment, and he generously asked the other party to start testing immediately.
Qi Bai's idea is relatively straightforward: Zhang Yanwu is not here, so he has to find a beast for Zhang Yanwu.Liuqian's strength is not enough, so it's best to get a deed beast.
He had already pasted the prepared invisible tape on Lu Zhu's palm in advance, with a drop of his blood in the center of the tape.
Qi Bai and Wu Wuji were a little nervous in their hearts, but they showed smiles and waited on the surface.
The problem lies with Lu Xun.
Before this, Qi Bai had been emphasizing to him: "Be sure to stick that little blood bead in the center, and align it. Align! Don't let the device pierce your own skin!"
Wu Wuji also kept cheering him up with his eyes: "You can definitely fool them!"
Lu Xun actually felt the pressure once in a lifetime.
——This is the first time he did such a sneaky thing.
When Lu Xun put his hand on the device, he tried his best to aim Qi Bai's drop of blood at the needle of the device, but he was caught because he was too careful.
"and many more."
When the opponent held Lu Xun's arm with one hand, the audience was silent.
Both Qi Bai and Wu Wuji's breathing was stagnant, compared with them, Xun Chao's gasping voice was very exaggerated.
Lu Xun also sighed inaudibly.
In the past, I always taught my students in the college: "Don't take shortcuts, don't take chances."
Now he really felt that what he said before had some truth.
"Sir, please spread your hand." The other party's eyes were a little gloomy and indifferent, which was contempt and contempt for a cheater, "Let's do a little check."
"..."
Qi Bai swallowed his saliva.
The people watching on the side rustled.
"No wonder it's called sb1414. Are they sick? That person is so weak that he doesn't even have a blood aura, so he ran to do a test."
"By the way, why bring such a burden, wouldn't the leopard be able to take over the mission directly? ... Well, I admit that the Duke's zoo is very attractive. But I just want to rub it if I don't have any skills. , it’s a bit too self-indulgent.”
At the same time, some people expressed sympathy for each other: "Damn...it was so easy to be discovered, my fucking preparations...slipped away!"
Before testing the equipment, Lu Xun did not speak.
Others may think that his silence is a kind of embarrassment after being exposed.
But he knew that he was making a choice.
He can exit the mission directly.
This choice has little impact, at most Qi Bai and the others are going to do the mission, while he rests in Deer Hunting Town for a few days.
But Lu Xun hesitated.
"Sir." The other party urged, "Please cooperate with the inspection."
In a short time, Lu Xun was unable to make a decision for the time being, and he slowly raised his other hand, as if buying himself some time to think.
The other party was taken aback, saw the left hand that was completely fine, and said impatiently:
"Are you fooling me, sir, I'm going to check your right hand now. Please show a positive and cooperative attitude."
Qi Bai wanted to come out to smooth things over, but was interrupted by the opponent.
"Even if you want to change hands to avoid cheating checks, if the results of your own blood power are not optimistic, you will still lower the average score of your team. Do you understand? As long as you participate in the check, you will affect the entire team. Team assessment."
The other party's words were full of sarcasm, but they also gave a relatively reasonable suggestion:
"On the contrary, if you quit now, your teammates can still take over the mission."
Under the steps, the other mercenary teams who were watching the excitement couldn't help but start discussing in low voices: "What is he doing? He was found to be cheating, how long will he pretend to be, so what if he changes hands? After a test, he will not reveal his true colors. , Wouldn’t it be good to just quit…”
From the corner of Lu Ju's eyes, he saw Qi Bai's complicated eyes that hesitated to speak.
His expression is not difficult to understand, it may be that he hopes that Lu Ju will quit.
It's not that Qi Bai thinks that Lu Ju is holding back, it's just that he regrets that he cheated for Lu Ju and that Lu Ju fell into such a situation of being looked at as a joke.
After receiving his annoyed look, Lu Xun also planned to stop.
"Okay, brother, I won't go around with you anymore. The task of going to the foggy forest sounds like a paddling, but in fact, it is not much easier than the general crisis task. You really think that with you, Can you go in and grab a reward? If you don’t have two brushes, you can die inside.”
"It's clearly written in the mission contract that high returns mean high risks. The Duke's son led an all-A team in and they all disappeared. Who knows what's hidden inside? Betas like you who don't have the power of blood, hurry back Home--"
Lu Xun listened to these words word for word, and then realized that he might not be able to stand by and watch Qi Bai and the others go paddling in the foggy forest.
"Hurry up, change people." The other party probably misunderstood that Lu Zhu was planning to quit, so he let go of his hand, waved, and said,
"Don't delay my get off work."
However, at this moment, before everyone could react, Lu Xun suddenly put his left hand on the device as if inadvertently.
He didn't seem to be here for a test, and he didn't feel the restrained and deliberate feeling just now. He just cooperated with the staff's sentence "Don't delay my get off work", and then put his hand on it.
"What are you doing?!"
Everyone including Qi Bai, whether it is nothingness and them, or the staff, or watching
-I put the words first, this is not the content of the main text, there is no charge! -
PS:
After starting to work, the time for writing articles is not fixed. I am afraid that everyone will forget the previous content every time they read the update, so I specially make a brief summary of the previous situation here, so as not to keep up with your emotions, and save you from spending time looking back at the previous articles. plot
And, the next update time will be after the holiday, and before NO.13, it will make up [-] yuan (I went to drive by myself, and there is no internet all the way, thank you)
--【Recap】--
Under Wu Wuji's suggestion, the mercenary team came to the town of hunting deer, which is famous as the hometown of beasts.
Zhang Yanwu temporarily left the team for unknown reasons.
Qi Bai fought with the people from the Blood Beast Management Bureau in the central square, causing a commotion in a small area.In the end, he successfully formed a bond with the Black Panther.
A new character appears: Roy Rhodes.
Identity: Suspected (?) student of Lu Ju.
For the first time, this person falsely used Lu Zhu's past image.
As mentioned in the last chapter, after the black panther formed a bond, it mutated to scare away everyone, and Qi Bai fainted.Nothingness has dealt with the patrol agency and the animal trainers, and now the mercenary team is going back to the hotel——
Feng Siliu is a woman who does everything.
Although she seems to live a life similar to these rough old men on weekdays, when it comes to some specific things, she can often show amazing ability to balance the water and be careful with her own characteristics. .
She opened seven suites.
It's all for one person and one room, and she even counted Bida in it.
Make sure that no one in this team can suffer.
The luxuriousness of the room demonstrates the terrifying power of her retaliatory consumption after she got rich overnight for the first time.
Except for the one that is slightly more modest than that of Bida, the other suites have separate halls, master bedrooms, guest bedrooms, bathrooms and even conference halls.In short, one suite can accommodate six of them plus an unmutated panther, but now they have seven rooms.
Wu Wuji looked at the bill and said numbly: "You should be glad that Qi Bai has fainted now."
Xun Chao: "Even if he didn't faint, he won't wake up after seeing the bill."
"I'm still curious." Wu Wuji looked at Feng Siliu and said, "How could you even open a suite for that leopard?"
Feng Siliu glanced at the well-behaved Bida next to him who had just completed the contract, shrugged: "The front desk said that you can open a supreme VIP card if you spend [-] yuan at a time. I'm only short of [-] yuan, so I'll make up the whole."
"What's the use of Supreme VIP?" Xun Chao asked.
"I don't know." Feng Siliu said, "But I find that as a newly rich person, it is difficult for me to reject any consumption trap."
Everyone was silent.
Lu Zhe said, "A room in Qibai?"
"You and Qi Bai are upstairs, and the others are on this floor." Feng Siliu saw that he was hugging Qi Bai who was in a deep sleep all the way, and couldn't bear to say, "Are you tired? Why don't you make Zhang feel tired?" Shall I carry him up?"
"..."
"Wait, let me just say that something was missing along the way..."
Thanks to her reminder, everyone suddenly reacted belatedly: "So, where is Lao Zhang?"
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows invisibly, he didn't intend to participate in the discussion of this issue, and said, "I'll take him up to rest first."
Then, as if he didn't hear everyone's questioning just now, he walked straight into the elevator not far away.
"We'll have a meeting when he wakes up, we have something to talk about." Wu Wuji pressed the floor for him.
"it is good."
At this time, Xun Chao outside was pulling out the interstellar communication terminal to make a call, probably to contact Zhang Yanwu.
With a click, the elevator door closes and the picture is blocked.
Lu Xun sighed lightly.
Although he didn't have much contact with Zhang Yanwu, Lu Ju could almost see through the obsession in Zhang Yanwu's dull expression.
Although he has no obligation to conceal Zhang Yanwu, there is no need to expose him either.
Ever since Lu Xun detected Zhang Yanwu's innate bloodline, he felt very at ease with him.This alpha shouldn't be in mortal danger, but from the looks of it now, it seems that he was stumbled by something.
Want to find out?
The person in his arms suddenly moved slightly, and Lu Xun looked down.Qi Bai, who was sleeping soundly, slammed his mouth and muttered something.
It wasn't until he stuffed Qi Bai into the soft blanket that he heard clearly what Qi Bai said.
"Big... leopards... kill them..." Bajibabajizui finished the dream in one go, "—Come on!"
Lu Xun laughed silently.
He thought that the comfortable life of Bida in the first half of his life might be over.
Because he seems to have found an uneasy master for it.
In the hotel corridor, Xun Chao and Wu Wuji hadn't returned to their rooms.
Zhang Yanwu, who left the team suddenly, did not completely disappear.But he didn't answer the phone, and only sent back a message to Xun Chao.
- I'm fine.
Xun Chao clicked his tongue speechlessly after seeing the message, and then sent him a voice message:
"Nonsense! What can you do as an alpha?! I mean, there will be a meeting later, when will you come back?... By the way, where have you been?"
At this moment, Lu Xun took Qi Bai upstairs, and Feng Siliu had already taken the leopard to settle down, leaving only nothingness and not rushing back to the room, waiting here with Xun Chao for Zhang Yanwu's reply.
But no matter how much Xun Chao made phone calls, voice calls, and bombarded news, it was like a stone sinking into the sea and no response.
Finally, Wu Wuji patted him on the shoulder and gave him a task: "You are responsible for contacting him. I'll go catch up on sleep first."
Xun Chao gritted his teeth and agreed, and at the same time used his insufficient patience to waste Zhang Yanwu.
"Old Zhang, it's not right for you to disappear without making a sound...Even if you eat, drink and gamble behind our backs, you still have to find some time to share with me your feelings after whoring!"
"Damn, brother Zhang, it's not the first time for an old man to have sex. You don't know what time it is, do you?! There is something important to announce, hurry up, don't miss it."
"... It's been two hours! Will you come back?!"
Just such a waste, it took until twelve o'clock at night.
After catching up on sleep, Wu Ji said in the group chat of the mercenary team: "Go to the captain's room for a meeting."
At the same time, Xun Chao finally received Zhang Yanwu's belated reply:
—Come back later.
Xun Chaogang scolded: "Damn! If you can't get a fart in a long time, it's dead."
Before the words fell, the terminal crackled, and in the blink of an eye, several messages from Zhang Yanwu came in:
--Bad signal.
--understood.
--do not wait for me.
...
A few minutes later, everyone had arrived at the door of Qi Bai's room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Didn't you say you're awake?" Xun Chao asked.
Wu Wuji was also puzzled, and took out his interstellar phone to confirm that it was indeed Qi Bai who sent him the message after he woke up.
So they knocked again.
Feng Siliu watched them knock on the thick door, and couldn't help but said: "Although we are all teammates, I don't want to say something nasty..."
Wu Wuji and Xun Chao looked at her: "?"
Feng Siliu said: "But luxury hotels have doorbells, dogs."
Wu Wuji and Xun Chao who are used to living in poor and dilapidated guest houses: "..."
"Just getting rich, it's normal that the spirit is still not on par with the material level." Wu Wuji rang the doorbell with a half-smile.
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind them, full of hoarseness and laziness after sleeping, and said with a smile:
"Why haven't you gone in yet?"
"I don't know what Qi Bai is doing inside, if you don't come to open the door..."
The next moment, several people suddenly turned their heads and saw Qi Bai and Lu Zhu.
Xun Chao said: "——Why the hell are you outside?!"
Qi Bai was so yelled at that he took a step back and bumped into Lu Xun's arm, so he leaned against Lu Xun in this position, shrugged and said, "I woke up in the middle of my sleep, I'm going to find Liuqian."
Sleeping alone, Qi Bai inevitably had those nightmares again, and it was almost normal to be awakened.
But considering that he could sleep surprisingly soundly next to Lu Xun, Qi Bai went to the next door and knocked on Lu Xun's door.
It's not that Qi Bai is not curious, why he is always so happy when relying on Liuqian.
In fact, despite having his glands removed, Qi Bai is still an omega in essence, most of the time, he is very sensitive to smells.Just like sometimes he would inadvertently smell Zhang Yanwu's powerful and suppressed pheromone, which made his nerves tense.
Although Liuqian is an ordinary person without glands, his body always emits some faint smells that make him feel good.Sometimes Qi Bai thinks it's an illusion, but when he sleeps next to Liu Qian, he also feels that Liu Qian may have soothing incense on him.
The knock on the door was muffled, but fortunately Lu Zhu was not sleeping at the time, so he wouldn't miss the seemingly invisible movement.
The final result was that the drowsy Qi Bai broke into the room and threw Lu Zhu down on the bed...
Then got a good night's sleep.
After listening to Qi Bai's words, Xun Chao couldn't believe it: "Are you a kid in kindergarten, can't live without you? No, kids aren't as clingy as you, why do you have to sleep together?"
Feng Siliu's acceptance of this was obviously much higher.She pursed her lips, thought about it seriously, and said, "I will open one less room in the future."
"Stop," Wu Wuji waved his hand, with a look of reluctance to express any opinions, and said,
"Hurry up and open the door and talk about business."
Deer Hunter is famous for its variety of blood beasts, and most of them have advanced mutation power.Every year, many beast trainers will come here to hunt some blood beasts that are strong enough to go back.
And the Sauser Plain outside the city, because it inhabits most of the blood beasts on this planet, has become the area that everyone is most keen to set foot on.
Especially in the central area of Schöse, in a forest shrouded in mist all year round due to unknown reasons, very powerful blood beasts often evolve.
More and more people came here here, and although the Deer Hunting Town developed because of this, the blood beasts in the Schöser Plain were greatly affected.
In order to prevent the Sauser Plain from being ransacked by too many foreign animal trainers, which not only affects the ecological balance but also hinders the advanced evolution of blood beasts, the deer hunting government and private animal trainers jointly established the Wild Blood Beast Management Bureau and formulated a hunting policy. :
The Schössel Plains are only open for hunting in August each year.
Except for this time, it is illegal to enter the Sauser Plain to hunt blood beasts at any other time, and they will be arrested, and in serious cases, they may even be imprisoned.
It is now mid-September, obviously, Wu Wuji didn't bring a mercenary team to hunt.
"Just get straight to the point."
Qi Bai had just had a good night's sleep, and now he was a little tired, with his head drooping, as if he was going to lie down at any time, "What are you doing so mysteriously, those who don't know think we are plotting to rob Starlink."
"The point is, I accepted a bounty mission."
As soon as Wu Wuji said these words, Qi Bai's laziness just now faded away instantly, and he sat up straight all of a sudden.
"What?!"
Except for Lu Ju, the others seemed shocked by Wu Wuji's words.
"Calm down your expressions. It's not a matter of course for you to search for mercenaries to accept bounty missions? Why should you be surprised?"
Xun Chao: "Although it is true to say so, it is not what you said before. The bounty mission is time-consuming and life-threatening. After all, it is not as cost-effective as stealing..."
Nothingness and interrupted him: "What I'm saying is that the rewards of most bounty tasks are not proportional to the risks involved."
"So you mean, the reward for this mission is very rich?"
"Ah."
Now Qi Bai was also interested, and just about to ask, Wu Wuji took the initiative to mention the task he took on.
"There are rumors that many years ago, in the foggy forest in the center of the Sauser Plain, there was a blood beast that was more powerful than ordinary high-level mutants. Its origin and attributes were unknown—it was a bit like the leopard Qibai.
Everyone fears it, but covets it because of its power.There was once a nobleman who wanted to hunt it, and specially dispatched a large hunting group of hundreds of people for this purpose. "
Nothingness and paused, pretending to be mysterious, "However, all the teams that went to hunt it were wiped out overnight."
"Wow, so strong." Everyone cheered.
"Do you remember that weird sculpture in the central square?"
The crowd nodded.
Wu Wuji said: "It is said that the blood beast looks like that... The deer hunting people are afraid that the alarm of the hunters will anger it and make it run out to hurt innocent people, so they carve out its appearance and put it in the center A square for worship and awe."
Qi Bai was confused: "Since it's so scary, why are there still people going to the Wulin?"
"That's all I have to say."
"In fact, there are still many people who are not afraid of death these years, trying to hunt down the mysterious blood beast, but they went to the fog forest, but they never saw it again. Some people suspect that it is in a long sleep - this It is the incubation period for the evolution of high-level blood beasts, and when the long sleep is over, it will become stronger."
"So, so!" Xun Chao seemed very interested in this kind of story-telling thing, "Is our mission to hunt it?!"
"Do you think it's possible?" Feng Siliu gave him a blank look.
"Naturally it is impossible to hunt it." Wu Wuji said,
"Okay, I'm getting a bit long-winded. To put it simply, at the end of the open hunting day last month, there was a team of animal trainers who arrived late, trying to get more days of open hunting, because they came from far away. It would take more than half a year to come to other planets. They hoped that the deer hunting would be convenient. But the deer hunting government refused.
That team was courageous enough. They didn't know how to escape the suburban guards and slipped into the foggy forest. As a result, they have lost track since then, and there is no news from them to this day.
Because it was an illegal invasion and hunting, the deer hunting government did not intend to rescue after learning of the situation..."
In fact, it may not be because of illegal intrusion. The Blood Beast Management Bureau on the deer hunting side doesn't like the leader of the animal trainer team.
It was a young man named Peta. Their family had been excellent animal trainers for generations, and they had built a vast zoo second only to Yao Lanyuan, the number one animal trainer in the interstellar world.It can also be regarded as a family of five galaxies.
However, in his family's zoo, 70.00% of the blood beasts come from the deer-hunting Sauther Plain.
In short, before the open day policy was formulated, the Petardi family was a major culprit in destroying the ecological balance of the Souther Plain.It is normal for the deer hunting government to dislike them.
But now that Peta is about to come of age, he wants to add another hero to his zoo, so he recklessly comes to Deer Hunting Town, trying to catch the legendary blood beast that is sleeping forever.
Unexpectedly, bad luck, missed the open day, sneaked in and failed to come out.
Peta's father always believed that Peta and the others were just lost, not dead, and asked people from the Deer Hunting Government and the Blood Beast Administration to come forward to rescue them.
But for the deer hunting side, no matter how powerful the nobles of other countries are, it doesn't matter to them.The duke's obstinacy cannot change the rules already set by the deer hunting government.
While confronting the deer hunting government, the Duke issued a bounty mission to the mercenary market:
[Recruit 3-5 wandering mercenary teams and sneak into the fog forest for rescue. 】
Void and explained to them: "The reward of the task is to select a high-level blood beast from the Duke's beast garden to form a bond. You know, relying on ourselves, it is very difficult to have a high-level blood beast in this life—"
He paused, and said to Qibai, "Stop laughing, you are an exception."
Qi Bai: "Hey."
"In short, as long as the task is successfully completed, all of us can get a deed beast for free." Wu Wuji concluded.
"If it's just rescue, the risk factor should not be high. Why did they recruit so many people?" Qi Bai asked.
Nothingness and glanced at him, which means that you have discovered the key information.
Qi Bai raised his eyebrows in embarrassment.
"Peta is an Alpha, and his natural bloodline is a biological mutation, and the team of animal trainers he leads are all Alphas. I also learned from the employer... Each of them brought a high-level blood beast."
Nothingness and to the point.
But everyone understands as soon as they hear it.
Such a strong team will not be trapped because of some small setbacks.
The reason why they couldn't escape for more than half a month must be very troublesome.
"This is a mandatory bounty mission. As soon as the mission time limit expires, it will be considered complete regardless of whether we find someone or find a corpse. This is very beneficial for us to fish in troubled waters."
"Wow, you're teaching us sneaking again."
"No, I'm just pointing out the way for you. In this kind of collective mission, the reward for paddling is what many mercenaries dream of."
Wu Wuji said to Xun Chao who was talking, "Perhaps, you think we will be better than the other teams that take on the mission?"
Xun Chao shook his head.
Qi Bai refused to accept it: "I have a big leopard!"
"I want to emphasize that no one can do anything unless it is necessary. Because it is illegal to kill any blood beast in the foggy forest, and it is illegal to kill any blood beasts in the fog forest, and the violation of the law by wandering mercenaries will be directly controlled by the Nova Alliance...you Want to be caught with your big leopard?"
Qi Bai didn't speak, and Wu Wuji said again:
"I know you were very excited to form a bond with such a powerful blood beast, but I want to remind you that now you have the energy of a black panther in your body, and you will lose control if you don't pay attention. Don't talk about fighting at that time. Death."
"..."
Empty and non-stop, went on:
"A long time ago, I wanted to say, you are the captain, don't rush to the front every time something happens, what does it mean to plan a strategy to win a thousand miles, what does it mean to be calm and self-sufficient. You'd better see how other people's captains are. It’s really impossible to look at six thousand.”
"It's not like you to ride on other people's heads every time you encounter a problem and beat them up. This captain makes you look like an assaulter. It's shameful."
"..."
After being splashed with cold water, Qi Bai curled his mouth and shrank his neck, trembling and speechless.
After a while, he suddenly raised Lu Zhu's arm, and quietly slid into his arm, still muttering something.
Lu Xun listened for a while, but couldn't hear clearly, so he asked, "What?"
Qi Bai raised his volume and shouted:
"I hate nothingness!"
Lu Xun laughed.
But Wu Wuji was not surprised by this, and said, "Thank you, it's the third time this quarter."
Zhang Yanwu didn't come back all night, and he didn't show up until the next day when they were going to do the physical examination items attached to the task registration.
The assembly point for physical examination is in the courtyard of an old castle-like house in the south of Deer Hunting City.
But at nine o'clock in the morning, the place was already full of people.
The particularity of this mission is that it is illegal for mercenaries to enter the foggy forest for rescue, so their mission assembly point must also avoid the regular mercenary system.
But because of its strong rewards and more opportunities to paddle, there are only a lot more people who come to it than other tasks.
At this moment, Xun Chao is still trying to get in touch with Zhang Yanwu with the interstellar communication - after all, this is the most successful alpha in their team, and even if he doesn't come, their team will look a bit stretched.
And Wu Wuji was a little more nervous than expected, he was already repeating the same words for the fourth time:
"There are a lot of alphas among so many wandering mercenaries. Whether we can take over the mission is still unknown. Fortunately, Qibai and his black panther can probably give us extra points, but Liuqian has no spiritual power or innate blood. It's a trouble, now let's talk about helping Liu Qian cheat later..."
The so-called cheating is to help Liu Qian escape detection.
The person who issued the mission was on a distant planet, and it was too late to catch up, so recruiting mercenaries here in real time was the fastest way, but this also led to uneven strength of the people who received the mission.
They have to choose the best ones to ensure the completion of the task.
The noble duke who issued the mission was rich indeed.
The measuring instrument they took out should be the most advanced equipment in the five galaxies today.
It doesn't require people to release any energy, just put your hand on it, pierce the skin lightly, and get some blood, from which you can detect the strength of the blood in this person's body.
Within 1 seconds, the machine will give five levels of evaluation based on the detected results:
The first and second levels belong to the weak bloodlines, which are of no help to the task and will be eliminated directly. The third level is left for in-depth inspection, and the fourth level is directly passed.
Level [-] is naturally a pass, but there are very few people who have reached level [-] blood power, whether they are beta or alpha, they are very popular, and they probably don't have the time to do such time-wasting tasks.
Sometimes you will find that the blood power level of a beta is even higher than that of an alpha, which is a normal phenomenon.
Since the evolution of human beings, there have been countless situations in which talented bloodlines have been crushed by leaps and bounds.
That's what testing is all about.A level [-] and level [-] alpha is naturally not as good as a level [-] beta.
The problem now is that they have to help Liu Qian, an ordinary person who has no spiritual power and no natural bloodlines, to cheat.
Qi Bai asked cautiously: "Why don't you let Liu Qian try it? Didn't you say that he absorbed that energy in his body?"
Wu Wuji immediately made a silent gesture, and then told him:
"We can't gamble on this. After all, there is no precedent for reference before [-]. Who can say for sure how much he has absorbed, or whether there is a time limit after absorbing it? Whether he can't use it now, or has it been exhausted, Are you right?"
Qi Bai pondered for a moment, glanced at Lu Zhe quietly, and said to Wu Wuji: "Indeed... I can't take risks, I have to help him find a beast."
Their plan is simple to say, it is to paste Qi Bai's blood on Lu Xun's hand with invisible glue in advance.Simple and crude, but effective.
After a few minutes, their team's name was called.
Xun Chao over there put away the interstellar communication, and said anxiously: "I can't contact Zhang Yanwu, this is the first time he disappeared like this, and I don't know where he went."
Wu Wuji said: "Zhang Yanwu has sufficient self-protection ability, so that no accidents will happen in a peaceful area. I am more worried now. Without an alpha, our team's comprehensive strength assessment may not be good."
They were still talking about Zhang Yanwu, Qi Bai glanced at Lu Xun very quickly.
Lu Xun caught his gaze.
"how."
Facing Lu Zhu's overly calm expression, Qi Bai couldn't ask.
In fact, he had been suspecting since yesterday that before they separated, Zhang Yanwu was still with Lu Zhu, but after the meeting in the central square, Zhang Yanwu was no longer there.
Lu Xun has not given any explanation for this, and Qi Bai is also weighing in his heart whether it is necessary to ask.
"you……"
Qi Bai hesitated for a long time, but just as he uttered a word, he was interrupted by another voice.
"Where's the sb1414 mercenary team? Please come here for inspection—"
When the other mercenary teams waiting for the test in the courtyard heard the name, they all laughed, and there was no sarcasm or disdain in their voices.
They can naturally feel that this team is full of betas, so they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
The detection equipment was built on the dry fountain pool, and after walking up a few steps, there were three equipment operators and two main task leaders, and they would also follow into the fog forest when the time came.
The detection of Qi Bai et al. is very fast.
Their bloodline power is single, and there is no secondary advancement, and beta itself has no spiritual power, so it is very simple to detect.
Nihility and being judged to be level [-], if he is not in the team, he can be eliminated on the spot.
Xun Dynasty is the third level, and Feng Siliu is the fourth level.
Their accompanying bloodlines are inherently special, so this result is also expected.
What surprised everyone was Qi Bai.
As a beta, he should be the first fifth-level bloodline power ever detected by this machine.
Even the staff were dumbfounded, and repeatedly observed the equipment data to confirm that it was indeed the fifth class.
Now not only the surrounding mercenaries were in an uproar, but even Wu Wuji and they were also surprised - they knew that Qi Bai's blood power was stronger than ordinary betas, but they never thought that its inner potential was so great.
"What is your accompanying blood?" The person in charge of the task selection asked very curiously.
Because the blood powers that can be evaluated as the fifth level so far are all alpha or omega, and those like Xun Chao and Feng Siliu are already quite standard in beta.
Regarding the other party's question, Qi Bai acted nonchalantly: "I don't know. It's probably due to the strengthening of attributes."
"I haven't seen this level of attribute enhancement. Your blood power is not only the fifth level, but also an attribute with quite high data at this level."
The man thought for a while, and gave a conjecture that he thought was relatively reliable.
"May I ask you, have you ever done gland extraction—"
"what!"
Qi Bai stomped his feet, as if he suddenly remembered something, interrupted the other party, and said, "There is one person in our team who can't make it today, he is an alpha, B-level!"
The other party was interrupted, and his thinking was also interrupted. He frowned and replied to Qi Bai:
"I'm sorry to inform you that those who didn't come to the test on time can't register for the task. Moreover, your team's overall strength is currently rated as C, and there are twelve teams that are stronger than you."
It means that they have a high probability of losing the election.
At this moment, Wu Wuji walked up the steps with Bida, who had been obediently and quietly by his side, and motioned for the other party to evaluate Bida's strength.
The moment the man saw Bida, his eyes almost popped out, and he stared hopelessly for a long time before he said:
"It... it really formed a bond?"
After waiting for an affirmative answer, the task selector was obviously very sorry.
"Well, being able to have such a powerful blood beast can really add a lot of points to you. We didn't bring the testing equipment for the blood beast this time, but as a beast trainer, I can feel its inner strength... This is a beast species with ultra-high-level attributes, and I will raise the overall strength assessment to B+ for you, but..."
The man crossed Wu Wuji and Qi Bai, put his gaze on Lu Zhu, and said, "You seem to have another team member, does he want to participate? Maybe it will lower the score."
"Yes!" Qi Bai resolutely said.
They were fully prepared to cheat just now, so naturally they couldn't let it go now.
Several staff members looked at each other in blank dismay, apparently unable to understand the logic of their behavior: B+, just enough to take on the task.Once you count that person, you'll probably have to drop back below a C.
Qi Bai doesn't care about these.
He thought that his acting skills naturally brought Lu Ju to the equipment, and he generously asked the other party to start testing immediately.
Qi Bai's idea is relatively straightforward: Zhang Yanwu is not here, so he has to find a beast for Zhang Yanwu.Liuqian's strength is not enough, so it's best to get a deed beast.
He had already pasted the prepared invisible tape on Lu Zhu's palm in advance, with a drop of his blood in the center of the tape.
Qi Bai and Wu Wuji were a little nervous in their hearts, but they showed smiles and waited on the surface.
The problem lies with Lu Xun.
Before this, Qi Bai had been emphasizing to him: "Be sure to stick that little blood bead in the center, and align it. Align! Don't let the device pierce your own skin!"
Wu Wuji also kept cheering him up with his eyes: "You can definitely fool them!"
Lu Xun actually felt the pressure once in a lifetime.
——This is the first time he did such a sneaky thing.
When Lu Xun put his hand on the device, he tried his best to aim Qi Bai's drop of blood at the needle of the device, but he was caught because he was too careful.
"and many more."
When the opponent held Lu Xun's arm with one hand, the audience was silent.
Both Qi Bai and Wu Wuji's breathing was stagnant, compared with them, Xun Chao's gasping voice was very exaggerated.
Lu Xun also sighed inaudibly.
In the past, I always taught my students in the college: "Don't take shortcuts, don't take chances."
Now he really felt that what he said before had some truth.
"Sir, please spread your hand." The other party's eyes were a little gloomy and indifferent, which was contempt and contempt for a cheater, "Let's do a little check."
"..."
Qi Bai swallowed his saliva.
The people watching on the side rustled.
"No wonder it's called sb1414. Are they sick? That person is so weak that he doesn't even have a blood aura, so he ran to do a test."
"By the way, why bring such a burden, wouldn't the leopard be able to take over the mission directly? ... Well, I admit that the Duke's zoo is very attractive. But I just want to rub it if I don't have any skills. , it’s a bit too self-indulgent.”
At the same time, some people expressed sympathy for each other: "Damn...it was so easy to be discovered, my fucking preparations...slipped away!"
Before testing the equipment, Lu Xun did not speak.
Others may think that his silence is a kind of embarrassment after being exposed.
But he knew that he was making a choice.
He can exit the mission directly.
This choice has little impact, at most Qi Bai and the others are going to do the mission, while he rests in Deer Hunting Town for a few days.
But Lu Xun hesitated.
"Sir." The other party urged, "Please cooperate with the inspection."
In a short time, Lu Xun was unable to make a decision for the time being, and he slowly raised his other hand, as if buying himself some time to think.
The other party was taken aback, saw the left hand that was completely fine, and said impatiently:
"Are you fooling me, sir, I'm going to check your right hand now. Please show a positive and cooperative attitude."
Qi Bai wanted to come out to smooth things over, but was interrupted by the opponent.
"Even if you want to change hands to avoid cheating checks, if the results of your own blood power are not optimistic, you will still lower the average score of your team. Do you understand? As long as you participate in the check, you will affect the entire team. Team assessment."
The other party's words were full of sarcasm, but they also gave a relatively reasonable suggestion:
"On the contrary, if you quit now, your teammates can still take over the mission."
Under the steps, the other mercenary teams who were watching the excitement couldn't help but start discussing in low voices: "What is he doing? He was found to be cheating, how long will he pretend to be, so what if he changes hands? After a test, he will not reveal his true colors. , Wouldn’t it be good to just quit…”
From the corner of Lu Ju's eyes, he saw Qi Bai's complicated eyes that hesitated to speak.
His expression is not difficult to understand, it may be that he hopes that Lu Ju will quit.
It's not that Qi Bai thinks that Lu Ju is holding back, it's just that he regrets that he cheated for Lu Ju and that Lu Ju fell into such a situation of being looked at as a joke.
After receiving his annoyed look, Lu Xun also planned to stop.
"Okay, brother, I won't go around with you anymore. The task of going to the foggy forest sounds like a paddling, but in fact, it is not much easier than the general crisis task. You really think that with you, Can you go in and grab a reward? If you don’t have two brushes, you can die inside.”
"It's clearly written in the mission contract that high returns mean high risks. The Duke's son led an all-A team in and they all disappeared. Who knows what's hidden inside? Betas like you who don't have the power of blood, hurry back Home--"
Lu Xun listened to these words word for word, and then realized that he might not be able to stand by and watch Qi Bai and the others go paddling in the foggy forest.
"Hurry up, change people." The other party probably misunderstood that Lu Zhu was planning to quit, so he let go of his hand, waved, and said,
"Don't delay my get off work."
However, at this moment, before everyone could react, Lu Xun suddenly put his left hand on the device as if inadvertently.
He didn't seem to be here for a test, and he didn't feel the restrained and deliberate feeling just now. He just cooperated with the staff's sentence "Don't delay my get off work", and then put his hand on it.
"What are you doing?!"
Everyone including Qi Bai, whether it is nothingness and them, or the staff, or watching
