Chapter 4 Message from an old friend
Angora Forest, outskirts.
After the majestic butter cloud dissipated, the scorching sun suddenly penetrated the crisp and tender nine-story pagoda leaves and fell on the patches of nut giant sequoia trees.
The 100-meter-high nut giant sequoia forest is roasted under hundreds of degrees of heat, and its skin is constantly peeling off, suddenly exuding bursts of baking aroma.
"簌猌"
Wang Changle, who was running at high speed in the shadow of the forest, suddenly raised his eyes and saw three figures passing through the leaves above his head. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
It is abnormal for a fourth-level contractor to not go into the food world, but to have the same goal as himself.
Suddenly, one of them stopped and raised his head, looking through the leaves of the nine-story pagoda, through the light and shadow in the forest, and after seeing the hazy mountain shadow on the left, his face became a little more happy.
After sighing and shaking the bright silver armor on his body, he quickly chased after the two people in front. Wang Changle also followed at this time, these fourth-level contractors.
"It's almost time. According to our speed, we will arrive at Life Takitsubo in at most 3 hours."
"Stop, stop talking, Jiutian, quickly gather in my direction and put up your shield to defend yourself."
The cloaked man running ahead suddenly stopped and quickly hid his body in the tree hole under the leaves of the nine-story pagoda.
In front of the narrow tree hole, Jiutian took out the silver scale shield from the space and sealed the hole instantly.
At this time, the pink-haired and twin-tailed Loli looked at the narrow tree hole, her pale face looking particularly weak.
"Huan Xing, why did you stop? The fantasy maze I created cannot trap them for long..."
"Ten miles away, there is an ice cream tornado moving this way. It is expected to arrive in three minutes."
Huanxing drew out his two knives and immediately sent them into the tree wall. After fixing himself, he dug out a large piece of crispy nut slices and put them into his mouth to quickly replenish his lost physical energy.
The other two people in the cave didn't have the slightest doubt when they heard this. Instead, they let out a long sigh. The ice storm would buy them a lot of time.
This unpredictable and extreme weather is a characteristic of the food world, and the assassin-type Huan Xing is also a scout in the team. They were able to escape here thanks to Huan Xing's ability.
For a moment, everyone ate nuts to restore their physical strength. Upon seeing this, the pink-haired Loli took out a bottle of potion and drank it.
"Hey, if Ba Dao hadn't been chasing him, we wouldn't have..."
"Stop talking, it's coming, hold on tight!"
As soon as Jiu Tian, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, finished speaking, he felt a strong wind coming, followed by the trembling of giant trees and extremely low temperatures.
Countless ice edges hit the shield, making a tinkling sound. Creamy snow drifted in, and soon a layer of frost appeared in the cave.
Jiutian looked into the distance through the gap. The ice storm spanning thousands of meters was continuously uprooting the giant nut trees that passed along the way. The entire Angula Forest felt like it was Christmas Eve under the wind and snow.
Jiu Tian's body suddenly trembled, and he subconsciously activated the shield to once again add a layer of protection to the entrance of the cave.
But this kind of ice storm, which was comparable to a fifth-level magician, was beyond the range of his deputy tank. If he was involved, he would lose half his life.
"call out"
A ray of red light suddenly flashed past Jiutian's eyes, piercing through the wind and snow curtain and going straight into the heart of the storm.
"boom"
Scarlet light soared into the sky, and the ice storm collapsed in his disbelieving eyes.
The next moment, a roaring shock wave swept over with a bloody cold wave, shattering Jiutian's shield with a 'bang' and knocking him to the ground.
"Jiutian, how...who are you?!"
Huan Xing was about to step forward to check, but with a sharp look, he looked at Wang Changle who suddenly appeared in the cave.
But before Huan Xing could make any move, countless snake vines sprang out from the tree hole, binding all three of them, including him, to the ground.
The pink-haired lolita who was suddenly attacked suddenly raised her head, and as soon as her eyes turned into colorless pupils, she met Wang Changle's gaze.
The pink-haired Lolita, who was already weak, felt a dull pain in her brain. Her mental strength collapsed rapidly. She shed two lines of blood and tears. She fainted as soon as her head tilted.
Huanxing turned his head and glanced at the tragic situation of the pink-haired girl. As a mental illusionist in the team, he was stunned by the mental power.
Feeling the terrifying tenacity of the vines, Huanxing was sure that this person had nothing to do with Ba Dao, but he couldn't figure out who the person in front of him was.
But thinking about the other party's ability to instantly break through the ice storm and appear in the cave silently, Huanxing knew they couldn't escape.
"you..."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in the scarlet card you turned into. You just mentioned the Tyrant Sword, right? Let's talk about it."
Wang Changle never thought that unexpected tracking would lead him to learn about Ba Dao in this world.
But now that we have met, we need to get to know the news about our old rival. In words, we can quickly complete the control with wave of desire.
"Yes...the adventure group led by Ba Dao has joined the Gourmet Club and is massacring non-Gourmet Club contractors in the Angula Forest. We were lucky, one of them died and we escaped."
Huan Xing's pupils dimmed, and in a spirit of surrender, his tone instantly became submissive.
"In other words, Ba Dao is now the leader of some of the fourth-level contractors? Do you know how many people there are in Ba Dao's team?"
Wang Changle touched his chin, Ba Dao's character had not changed, he was still as ferocious as ever.
However, he is no longer a pure lone wolf, but has gathered a team with a purpose. It seems that being promoted to the fourth level has changed this guy a lot.
"When we escaped, there were already nearly forty people."
"Forty fourth-level contractors are really quite powerful. What is your main mission?"
"Within 3 natural days, join a force."
"How much do you know about Ba Dao's strength?"
"I don't know much about other aspects, but I heard from Jiutian that Ba Dao is already among the top three in the fourth-level arena."
"The battle between the top three forces of the fourth level... So what is the goal of Ba Dao? Do you know?"
"I'm not sure about this, but the person he contacted was the chef of the gourmet club - Cromade."
"Chef, I understand..."
Wang Changle, who knew the information about Ba Dao, immediately speculated that the purpose of this guy gathering so many people was not to compete for resources with other mid- to low-level fourth-level contractors.
With Ba Dao's strength and temperament, he would either put his target on the battlefield at level 5, or he would have a bigger target.
No matter which one it is, once Operation Tyrannical Sword begins, it will definitely have an impact on the world structure. Now that I know it, I have to prepare in advance.
Since these three people can escape the pursuit of Ba Dao, their strength is naturally good, and their utilization value is far higher than their killing value.
Wang Changle's thoughts moved slightly, and the Opal attached to him immediately split into a child body and attached to Huanxing.
When he raised his eyes to look at the Phantom Star, his mental power instantly invaded, distorting his cognition and blurring his memory.
"After 3 seconds, you will fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up, go back to find Ba Dao and join the gourmet party. Then you can find a way to break away from the team and go to the Regenerator Association in the human world to ask for 'Opal'."
"yes..."
Huanxing responded drowsily, and then fell asleep on the ground.
Wang Changle walked out of the tree hole, looked up in the direction of the Waterfall of Life, and shook his head again.
Since Ba Dao is chasing the fourth-level contractor, these three people are by no means the only ones on the run. If he doesn't want to get involved in advance, he has to change his route.
After sensing it for a moment, Wang Changle disappeared from the place as the space flickered.
