Chapter 621: Bomb Monster
Using the 'Come Together' spell card again, the golden-white light led Ji Xing and his party of 15 people to land on the coastline, with the town of Shoufulabi in sight.
"That's over there...eh?"
Just when Kurapika was about to introduce the way, most people noticed a few other people standing by the beach, either wary or confused.
"they are……"
"The group of guys hired by Batra to join forces to monopolize spell cards."
"Are you trying to steal our cards?"
"BOOK!"
Kurapika, Gon Killua and Zetsu Zeira immediately called out their card collections and made a gesture of defense with spell cards.
The four strangers standing on the coast were startled, showing surprise. They raised their hands and said, "Finally we've waited for you. We don't have any ill intentions. We just have something to discuss with you. We won't call out the card collection book. Please believe us." Sincerity!”
Kurapika and the others looked at each other. Their eyes first focused on Kurapika, and then on Bisji and Ji Xing. When Ji Xing was in the team, he probably didn’t need to worry about sneak attacks the least...
Seeing that Ji Xing did not express his position, Kurapika walked up the first few steps and asked, "What do you want?"
Four people trotted over from the opposite side, and the leader introduced himself: "I'm Nikkens. I think you guys should know how we are clearing the game."
He nodded to Kurapika, then looked at Zetsu Zeela: "Our three groups of players should be the closest to clearing the game. To be honest, we have collected a total of 88 types of cards, and we should be slightly ahead of the two of you. Group it.”
"Huh? So many?" Xiaojie exclaimed softly.
"There are already 88 types?" Kurapika also said: "Then what are you doing now..."
"I'm not here to invite you to join, let alone to 'persuade'." Nikkens said with a smile: "Everyone is working hard to pass the game for the reward of 50 billion Ring Ni and compete fairly. This time you are here for 'a Ping’s coastline, right?”
Kurapika guessed the other party's intention: "Fair competition?"
"Yes." Nikkens nodded: "The card limit for 'One Ping of Coastline' is only 3. If you use the spell card to 'copy' and copy two more, then we have no hope of collecting them anyway. Conflicts will inevitably break out.”
At this point, he shook his hands: "Of course, I don't mean any threats. I just hope that everyone will not use this method to hinder each other, and just simply race."
A tall young man with glasses and white hair next to him said: "In fact, we can also alternately 'occupy tasks' and let fifteen people rotate to keep you out of the task..."
"Ganshu." Nikkens frowned.
"I know." Gan Shu smiled friendly and took a step forward: "Just to give you an example, I have been playing this game for five years and I am tired of playing it. I really hope there will be a result as soon as possible, no matter who it is. Clearance, everything is fine.”
"I understand." Kurapika looked at the people around him and said, "If you don't have any other opinions, it's up to me to decide. We only need two pieces of 'one ping of coastline'. Juezi Jue and I Get one for each person, and you can fight for the remaining card quota yourself.
But as the price for our concession, you have the card ‘Archangel’s Breath’, right? Please let us make a copy, this will not speed up our collection, we are going to use it. "
Melody looked over with some emotion.
Nikkens said: "This way... I will discuss it with everyone when I go back, and everyone will agree. Now we only have return cards with us. I hope you understand."
Kurapika nodded, while Gan Shu asked curiously: "Only you and Juezu Juela need it? There are a few here who probably don't belong to your two teams... I'm sorry, this is not distrust, it's just these few... I haven’t seen it very often.”
He half-raised his head and looked at Ji Xing, who stood over two meters tall and stood out from the crowd.
This sentence obviously refers to Ji Xing.
Of course I haven't seen him before. If I hadn't met by chance, I wouldn't have imagined that I wouldn't have met such a powerful person in the game... Piyanna felt a little proud and lucky in her heart.
"Ji Xing doesn't need a card." Xiaojie said directly, "He's just helping to gather the number of people!"
"Ji Xing?" Gan Shu seemed to be particularly interested in Ji Xing and thought for a while before saying, "Speaking of which... this tall appearance reminds me of a story that was circulated more than two months ago.
According to those guys who often stare at the novice cabin, a monster came into the island, and with just a roar, it shocked everyone who was observing him from a distance, causing everyone to flee..."
"Isn't that proven to be a rumor? How could anyone do that?" Nikkens laughed, laughing, unable to laugh anymore.
He and the other two companions looked at Kurapika and the others with blank expressions. Except for the two who made up the numbers, they all had expressions of inquiry and 'You actually did that kind of thing after entering the game.'
This is real? ! A roar can injure someone hundreds of meters away and a kilometer away? !
What is that? Doesn’t that mean it can directly roar us to death in front of us? !
"It seems to be true." Gan Shu showed admiration, took two steps forward, faced Ji Xing and stretched out his hands respectfully: "Who are you?"
Ji Xing looked at him, shook his head and reached out to hold hands with him: "Ji Xing, one of the twelve branches of the Hunter Association, have you heard of it?"
"Ah." Gan Shu exclaimed softly: "Of course, he is a senior member of the association! It's just... I haven't heard of your name in the five years since I entered the game, but it's great to have you around."
He held Ji Xing's hands tightly and said: "As we collect more and more cards, we are actually worried that those "killing players" will take action, such as the bomb demon, the scissor demon... Those guys seem to enjoy killing people, but they may not be uninterested in completing the game. It's really troublesome to snatch cards."
"Oh? There are actually players who enjoy killing people?" Ji Xing said: "It's really outrageous."
"Indeed." Kenneth confirmed and said respectfully: "I didn't expect you to be the Twelve Branches of the Hunter Association... But Gan Shu, dealing with those killing players is also a necessary step for us to pass the game. Don't push the responsibility, there is no reason to push the responsibility to the Twelve Branches, right?"
"Ah, that's not what I meant." Gan Shu quickly withdrew his hands and nodded to Ji Xing apologetically.
'It's a bit strange. 'At the same time, Kurapika and Biscuit's faces flashed a trace of doubt, and their eyes were briefly stagnant on Gan Shu.
His behavior... seems a bit strange?
Gan Shu, who apologized on the surface, had an unnaturally fast heartbeat at this moment, but he controlled his emotional fluctuations with strong self-control.
It turned out to be the Twelve Branches of the Hunter Association?
No wonder the man named Ji Xing in front of me has a completely different level from other Nen users, and he is the biggest obstacle for me to pass the game!
It's not a coincidence at all, including the fact that he blocked 15 people here this time.
More than two months ago, he began to investigate the rumors that the roar repelled more than a dozen people. Although those guys were terrified and incoherent when asked, it was enough for him to restore most of the facts... This person is too strong.
Fortunately, although it was a bit abrupt, the bomb was successfully placed on him. No one could detect it before it was activated, and it exploded immediately after it was activated, at least it could destroy his combat effectiveness!
The only difficult ones among the others were Kurapika and Zetsu Zera.
As the original bomb demon, he smiled and stepped back, saying, "It's a request for help and a kind reminder. Everyone should be careful of the bomb demons."
"Don't be careful." Ji Xing said.
Bang——
As the voice fell, a subtle muffled sound suddenly rose. A few people could see a residual shadow passing by, while more people could only see that Gan Shu's head suddenly turned into a spinning top for some reason!
His body did not move, but his head spun more than ten times in an instant with his neck as the center! The glasses he was wearing were thrown away, and the smile on his face turned into confusion and dullness during the rotation, until he "looked behind him" and fell to the ground with his body completely dead!
The surroundings were briefly quiet for two seconds.
"Ah——!"
Screams broke out.
"Ganshu?!"
"What's going on?!"
"What happened?!"
Kenneth and the other two were shocked and alert around them. Xiaojie asked at the same time: "Why? Jixing?"
"He is a bomb demon, right?" Kurapika made a judgment: "He used his mind ability to install a bomb on Mr. Jixing while shaking hands?"
Rhythm danced with both hands to the beat: "Sure enough, I don't need to remind you. When that person shook hands with Mr. Jixing just now, his heartbeat was full of malice."
Biscuit looked at the corpse on the ground, crossed his arms and hummed: "Why are you looking for death? You could have been a good sparring partner."
"Sure enough." Killua shook his head.
Pyanna swallowed her saliva and muttered: "Can't you let people be prepared?"
They... all saw it clearly? Zetsu Zera can also make similar inferences based on the current situation, but he didn't see Jixing's actions at all at that moment!
Jixing's strength is unquestionable as he destroyed the twelve members of the Phantom Troupe alone, but how much have these children improved compared to when I met them with Mr. Bartra? !
As for the two who were just making up the numbers, they were already scared to death. Kenneth and the other two were also stunned when they heard these conversations.
"Gan Shu is the bomb demon?"
"This is impossible!"
"He has always been our important companion!"
"And, and he is the one who is most vigilant against the bomb demon, always reminding everyone to be careful..."
"What evidence do you have?!"
Whether it is to ignore Gan Shu with the bomb on his body or to explain to the three people in front of him, it is a bit embarrassing for Ji Xing. He shook his head and said, "Let's go and complete the task quickly."
At the same time, in the town of Shoufulabi, in a tavern where robbers gathered.
A man in a cartoon bear coat carefully adjusted his headgear and nodded in satisfaction at the mirror: "Hehe, this is fine!"
A tall and strong squinty-eyed man behind him smiled: "Is it necessary... Jin?"
3k, there will be two more updates tomorrow, and the time will still be late.
