Chapter 624: Chapter 624: First Meeting
The internal strife within the team was hard to resolve.
Within the Dragon City Team, a remark made by one member struck a raw nerve with Diana, leaving her filled with a murderous intent… if Han Dong hadn’t intervened, Diana might have fought to death with this group of people.
Information exchange between the small teams was also impossible.
“Captain Huo Ziping, we’ll meet again later… you all go first.”
“Alright.”
Huo Ziping had a good impression of Han Dong.
After glancing at the girl who was nearly on the verge of a rampage, her eyes filled with murderous intent and her body bristling with bone spurs, he quickly led his team away through the small woods.
Gongsun Hao said awkwardly, “Captain… That girl does look like the Bone Demon’s daughter, both in appearance and ability.
Legend has it that the Bone Demon killed many high-ranking warriors and left Dragon City with his daughter. I didn’t expect them to make it to Holy City on foot, let alone for the girl to survive.”
“So what? The Bone Demon violated the prohibition, but it has nothing to do with his offspring.
Discussing her father in front of others… anyone would be angry.
Furthermore, since the Bone Demon managed to bring the girl safely to Holy City, he must have suffered irreversible injuries himself.
Watch your words next time.”
Gongsun Hao was a bit unconvinced, “Captain… why are you speaking for another team?
There was always a conflict of interest between us.
A bit of conflict beforehand is normal. If it eventually involves the chain events’ final secret treasure, a conflict is inevitable.”
“I’m merely correcting your mistake at this point, not speaking for others.
Also, we were able to find the exit so smoothly this time thanks to the help from the other team’s captain… Do you remember what happened when we first came to the farm? Yu Wu could only hear two voices of Interference.
The one who isolated Yu Wu’s hearing was the young man who cooperated with me to kill the matriarch in the underground workshop.
The Dark Mage, a master of a kind of sand magic that can take away life and the peculiar Crow Magic, just like me, wields an Epic Level weapon.”
“What!? An Epic Level weapon, could he be a top seed from Holy City?”
At this statement, Gongsun Hao was taken aback.
Epic level equipment was beyond the reach of newly qualified warriors like them. It was rare enough to see ordinary armor, let alone a core weapon.
The team was hoping to acquire an Epic Level equipment from this chain mission.
And it was agreed in advance that whoever matched the equipment would get it, and if no one matched, it would be sold, and the money would be split equally among them.
The Epic Sword nicknamed “Wandering Dragon” hanging at Huo Ziping’s waist was a reward from the New Warrior Competition… It seemed that Dragon City was more generous than Holy City.
Huo Ziping made a simple assessment of Han Dong: “Even though he uses black magic, he’s obviously not corrupted, he’s a good person… However, in such a short contact, it’s hard for me to see his true face.
Since there are no affiliated teams involved, they are a human team as well.
Everyone should try to establish a good relationship in the early stage. After obtaining the permanent residence permit of Derry town, we will consider the final reward.”
At this time, Yu Wu of the team, squinty-eyed as he was, gave a comment about Han Dong:
“He’s a really dangerous person… Despite being in close proximity, I couldn’t hear any Interference from him. This top seed from Holy City had an extremely strong self-defense mechanism in his spiritual brain domain, like I’ve never seen before.
However, as our captain said, there’s no need to fight in the early stage.
Among the other two people in their team, both are ‘virtuous’ and even though the girl is Bone Demon’s offspring, the Interference from her body is not evil.”
At this point, Captain Huo Ziping led the conversation back on track;
“Yu Wu, how strong are the other two?”
“The blonde knight is similar to Gongsun Hao, both are power types… but he leans more towards defense. Once conflict breaks out, Gongsun Hao can restrain him.
And for the Bone Miss, I have a way to control her.
So, the only thing you need to handle, Captain, is that Dark Mage. Without environmental interference, our team can knock theirs out early, then we can think about the clown and the secret treasure.”
“That works.”
Huo Ziping was not overly confident; he thought the odds between him and Han Dong were even.
The main reason he believed Han Dong’s team could be suppressed was that, in a three-on-three standoff or stalemate, they had Ma Taotao in the rear providing a constant supply of vitality and necessary illusionary help when needed, making the balance tip in their favor.
“Ma Taotao… what’s wrong? Did you notice anything unusual?”
The woman with a gorgeous figure, seemed to remain stunned after the recent contact and had been absent from the team’s discussion for the entire time.
“Yes…”
“Tell us about it.”
“I’m not sure… The youth who cooperated with you, Captain, to kill the matriarch and open the escape route, has an attribute that is completely repellent to mine.
An extremely fearsome death aura, although he’s alive, he feels deader than the dead.
If you confront him alone, Captain, be careful… My current cultivation of the ‘Spring Life Method’ stands no comparison with his ‘Death’ attribute.”
“Hmm…”
Huo Ziping was indeed aware.
Facing the mechanical straw army resembling a tidal wave.
And the straw coats themselves had a certain magic resistance… in the face of Han Dong’s ‘Pharaoh’s Pressure’, the straw army disintegrated in the black quicksand, unable to touch it.
“The number one seed from Holy City, huh? To be able to touch Pennywise, he naturally has to be that strong.”
…
In the small woods.
Leaning Diana against a large tree, Han Dong pacified the impulsive girl with the psychic influence of the Little Demon Eye, slowly calming her down.
At the same time, Han Dong leaned into Diana’s ear and whispered something.
“Really?” Diana’s black eyes widened.
“Hmm…”
“Thank you.” Diana reached out to play with her black hair hanging in front of her, indicating her gratitude and that she will not be impulsive again.
“Let’s go, let’s go back to the farm.”
“Back?!” Cass didn’t know that Han Dong had already solved the root cause of the problem.
“Don’t worry, we won’t be affected by the curse anymore. I’ve talked to the Other Residents here.”
Han Dong took the badge out of his pocket.
“What’s this?”
“Main plot trigger item… we’re now a big step ahead, rest for one day then set off again.
Besides, we left our Big G back at the farm, the transportation tool is very important.”
Cass was dumbfounded, he had no idea what kind of secret operation Han Dong had performed… but he got used to it. In the previous scenario, Han Dong alone contributed more than 70%.
