The faintest glimmer of light reflected in Kaka's eyes, like a bright arc, flashed and flashed in the pupils of this young man who claimed that his greatest ideal in life was to become a female high school student.
At that moment, he suddenly turned his head and asked the short-haired girl next to him: "Tell me, why do people fight?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, fiddled with the ends of her short platinum hair, and replied matter-of-factly: "Of course it's to win."
"But what I understand is different from yours." The young man said quietly.
Liu Ying was stuck and looked at each other in surprise.
"Human fighting comes from animal instincts, fighting for living space, fighting for the right to reproduce, and fighting for the power to continue the population. Even docile herbivores will fight to the death when the breeding season comes. In this protracted competition Among them, maybe we are all descendants of the winners.”
Kaka's eyes were clear: "But, can we always win?"
"I... don't quite understand what you mean by this. Does this have anything to do with our current mission?" Liuying asked, confused and somewhat annoyed.
"It doesn't matter, it's just something I feel."
Kaka pointed forward: "Look, what you are seeing now may be the demise of a guild, a historical change in Fenris Island, and this time we are on the winning side. However, we will always be so lucky. Well, maybe next moment we will have nothing."
"Mysterious guy, being on the winning side has nothing to do with luck. It's because we are strong enough, so we can always be on the winning side."
The young man scratched his hair and laughed dumbly: "But no one is invincible, Six Shadows. Why did you join the Jefflite Red Team? Is it because you are strong enough?"
"Of course," Liu Ying frowned and turned away, looking at the dark side of the ridge. She was a very outstanding ranger. The members of the Blood Alliance Oath Anlan, who were walking forward a hundred meters away, could clearly see every move in her eyes. Like red spots in thermal imaging. "So you see, those novices can only join rubbish guilds like Blood Oath."
The young man smiled: "No, I mean, why don't you join Silver Vislan, or Elite?"
"Are you looking for a fight again, Kaka?" Liu Ying was so angry that her teeth were itching. If she could join the first and second ranked guilds in the world, would she still be a member of the youth training team in the first world?
But Kaka didn't take it seriously and continued: "So you see, you are not strong enough. How you look at these people will be how those who are stronger than you look at you."
In his dark vision, in the distance, the members of the Blood Oath Brigade were stopping.
Kaka looked in another direction. Behind the rock over there, another team of An Lan also entered the reserved position. At this time, the captain's voice came from the communicator:
"Mr. Kaka, we are here. The members of the Rain Listener brigade should be about the same strength as us. We dare not make any big moves. Can you tell me their exact location?"
"A17,32,017."
Kaka closed one eye and simply reported a set of readings.
"Thank you, we understand." A grateful voice came from the other end of the communicator.
Kaka pressed the mute button and continued: "Let's continue the previous topic. Now that you are no longer the strongest one, can you still guarantee that you will keep winning?"
Six Shadows argued with some annoyance: "I can't, but there is always someone who can, and there is always someone who will be the strongest."
The young man raised his head and looked at the deep and vast night sky.
"You are wrong, Liuying. When you are not strong enough, you may think that you are strong enough. But once you cross that line, you will find that you are not strong enough yet. The stronger you are, the weaker you will find yourself."
"Your vision will also grow along with your strength. Are you strong enough now? But there will always be people stronger than you, such as Loofah, God-abomination, Sophie, and countless others."
"But when they get to that point, is it strong enough? It's far more than that. Even Loofah is not the strongest one. And even the strongest one can be invincible? ?”
The girl frowned and shook her head. Even if she is ranked first, who dares to say that she can be invincible?
Where in the world can 100% of things come from?
"So no one can always be victorious, unless they are gods. No, maybe gods can't either. From animism to many gods, from many gods to one god, the gods also live a very hard life," the young man spread his hands. : "Since we can't achieve it 100%, then what really determines whether we stay or go is the one percent possibility."
"That is to say, we are very lucky and can win ninety-nine times in a row, but as long as we lose once, everything before us is meaningless."
"In the final analysis, what determines our destiny is actually luck. The person who wins now is not because he is strong, but because he is lucky enough."
"Very true, isn't it?"
Liuying raised his eyebrows, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
She whispered: "How can it be so exaggerated?"
"Maybe," Kaka replied nonchalantly: "But everything is uncertain. There will always be a vague probability. From a probability point of view, no matter how small the probability is, as long as the sample is large enough, it will definitely It will happen."
"So," his voice was full of laziness: "As long as this competition continues, we will eventually have nothing. So what's the point of our efforts? We can just wait quietly for that moment to come."
As Kaka said, he put his head in his hands and lay down on the ground.
"Here's nonsense." Liu Ying couldn't stand this guy's decadence anymore and cursed angrily.
Let's not say whether this theory is correct or not, but the probability is so small that by the time it happens, she may have already retired.
For a person's short life, this theory is nonsense.
But what about extending the time scale longer?
What about a guild?
What about a dynasty?
Or what about a civilization?
Or put it on a larger scale, in this vast universe, is it really the case?
A strange thought suddenly flashed through Liuying's mind, but she quickly shook her head and threw the strange thought out of her mind. I thought to myself that I was really crazy to be crazy with this guy.
She pulled the guy up from the ground and said through gritted teeth: "You must work hard for me!"
"Okay, okay!" Kaka raised his hands in surrender.
The clockwork goblin flapped its wings in the darkness, the vibration frequency was very high, but the sound did not spread very far.
It seemed to be a dim orange fruit, hanging upside down under the top of a certain Fenris oak tree. The narrow field of view mode lens occasionally switched, like a dark eye blinking.
And the eyes reflected a line of marching electors.
Twelve people in total.
At the head are a pair of twin nightingales, followed by two dual-wielding swordsmen, followed by a sword warrior, an iron guard, and then five archers carrying longbows.
Following the shooter, there was a small healer at the end of the team.
This vanguard team was widely spread out in front and back. Everyone appeared to be well-trained, with stern expressions and extremely vigilant. They were as silent as real predators when walking through the jungle.
The twin sisters always walked at the front of the team, maintaining an inverted triangle formation with the swordsmen behind them, and maintaining a position where they could see each other. This is a classic reconnaissance formation in Aitaria, ensuring that if any of the first two points is raided, the other points can transmit information back to the team.
But 'click -' a soft sound.
The clockwork goblin above everyone's heads recorded this scene as a picture and sent it back to the rear.
This silent valley forms a V-shaped gentle slope at its exit. Among the shadows of broken rocks, the Blood Oath attack team is hiding.
Xia Sheng also huddled in one of the rock crevices.
She turned off the image transmitted from the Chosen System and raised her head - looking at the forest in that direction with a somewhat complicated expression. She knew that there was that guy's clockwork fairy there, but she still didn't understand how the other party could send it out. The goblin was sent to a place one or two kilometers away.
The captain told her that this was an ability possessed by top combat craftsmen, but she felt unhappy. If the combat craftsmen could detect the enemy at a distance of several thousand meters, then why would Nightingale be needed?
When she asked this question, the captain looked at her a little funny.
Of course the other party can understand her mood. Who can become a member of the elite brigade and not be arrogant. He thought for a moment and replied: "I'm talking about top combat craftsmen. How many people like this are there in the world?"
So Xia Sheng remembered the other person. He was obviously just a boy with such weird hobbies, but he had abilities that she couldn't match.
The young man's rustling voice came from the communicator again: "Be careful, they have advanced about a hundred meters and are very close to you now."
Xia Sheng didn't reply.
In other words, no one in the team spoke, and there was silence. Everyone looked at their captain, who raised his right hand and pointed to the right with his palm.
"Let the scouts in front go over, and Group B will attack first."
Everyone nodded.
Xia Sheng immediately recorded the order and teleported it to the other side of the battlefield. She tried to be careful with her movements, because she knew that her opponent was the leading soldier of the Rain Listeners, and might even be a member of the Rain Listeners' elite brigade, the Tempest, just like them.
But she was slightly surprised.
The strength between Storm and them is actually only about the same. If they face the enemy head-on, it will be difficult for them to gain such a big advantage.
But with the help of the talented young man from the Jefflett Red Team, they obtained the coveted first-hand conditions. In Aitaria, Nightingales and Rangers are both excellent scouts, but their detection abilities are also based on perception.
Sound, color and smell, after special learning, the system of the selector with relevant skills can even be dozens or hundreds of times more sensitive than ordinary people.
They capture the target and then mark the outline of the target for the chosen one. If the detection-related skills and talents are high enough, they can even predict the direction in which the target may move.
But everyone in Anlan hid behind the rocks without showing their heads. They didn't need to observe or make any sound. Just by breathing and heartbeats, against the background noise of the jungle, they were the top rangers of level 30 or 40 without getting close to a certain distance. It is also difficult to detect.
Therefore, the Rain Listener team was of course even less likely to notice that the other party entered their ambush area almost completely ignorant.
This vanguard team is a member of the elite brigade "Tempest" from Listening to the Rain, and the Nightingale girl walking at the front is one of the few people Fang Piao knows among the Listening to the Rain, and that one is called Alisa. twin sister.
She was crouching through a dense bush. The forest became sparse at the entrance of the valley in front. The gentle hillside was covered with broken rocks. In the moonlight, they looked like gray-white monsters crawling in the grass.
Alyssa couldn't help but frowned when she saw this scene. As a vanguard, she didn't like this kind of terrain, the open areas, and the terrain differences. If there were enemies in the direction of the ridge, their movements would be clearly visible.
She knew there must be enemies in the direction of the valley entrance, but she didn't know how many there were. The other party may be hiding, because they fired flares so blatantly before, so they shouldn't be the main force.
It might be a small team placed here by the Blood Alliance. The other party's purpose is to provide information to the main force, but where will the other party be?
Alyssa felt instinctively uneasy in her heart. This was an intuition born from experience. She believed that the other party would most likely launch an attack at the entrance of the valley to slow down their progress.
But she carefully raised her head and looked around, but there was silence in her field of vision. She was not a real scout or scout. In fact, it was just the selector system that gave her such abilities.
But now there is no response from the Selector system at all. The moonlight is pouring into the valley, the visibility is not too bad, and the valley entrance ahead looks like it is empty.
Did the other party really escape?
This is too abnormal.
Alyssa didn't know which one to trust between her own experience and the judgment of the Chosen System, so she frowned and stopped.
"Is something going on?" Her sister noticed something unusual about her sister in this direction, stopped and asked with a gesture.
Alyssa took out the pair of daggers named 'Dawn' from the leather sheaths tied to her thighs, while shaking her head.
"If there is no situation, why stop?"
The two dual-wielding swordsmen behind also asked in sign language.
Alyssa couldn't help but hesitate. According to the regulations, she had to answer the other party's questions immediately, but what should she say? intuition? This is no joke. The safety of the twelve people in this team, as well as the main members of the Rainlistener Guild behind them, all depend on her judgment alone.
But it was at this time that An Lan seemed to notice the unusual hesitation of his opponents. They did not intend to wait any longer and launched an attack directly.
With a low whistle, two crossbow bolts came through the forest.
The two dual-wielding swordsmen at the back were almost defenseless. One of them was hit in the back by an arrow and fell straight forward.
But at the critical moment, the other person actually turned to one side and missed the crossbow arrow directed at him by a hair's breadth.
Then he seemed to come to his senses, pounced forward with some vigilance, and rolled into the nearby bushes.
"Intuitive dodge!"
One thousand meters away from the battlefield, Kaka witnessed this scene through the clockwork goblin hiding in the treetops, and couldn't help but scream.
In the settings of the Selector system, if you are not aware of the attack coming, then the Selector system will naturally not assist you in evading.
But there are exceptions.
For example, intuitive dodge and danger prediction ability, these abilities without exception develop people's sixth sense, which can allow people to avoid attacks without being aware of it, but it only consumes more dodge points.
Not to mention An Lan, even Kaka did not expect that there would be people at this level who had learned these two abilities. After all, the prerequisites for these two abilities were quite high.
Kaka couldn't help but feel a little amazed. Even though it was a small guild's brigade, the members of the brigade were still members of the brigade, and there was always something unexpected.
However, he was surprised, and he immediately issued an order through the communicator: "Target four is confirmed to be dead. Target three is hiding in the bushes at direction 16,2. Keep heading south, Snail, he is at your seven o'clock direction. It’s easier to find his location with the sound scanning pattern you use.”
Then he switched the perspective of the clockwork fairy and brought the other two people into view: "Targets one and two are breaking out to the north. Wow, they are two girls. They work together beautifully!"
But Alyssa didn't hear this praise.
Maybe even if she heard it, it would be difficult for her to be happy. The sudden attack was completely beyond her expectation, and she didn't even have time to feel frustrated when it came so suddenly.
She didn't know what happened to the two teammates who were attacked behind her, but her hard-earned training had taken effect at this moment. She didn't know why the enemy's attacks were not synchronized. She found a temporary bunker at the first opportunity and escaped the first round of attacks.
She looked in the direction of her sister, but there was silence.
Alyssa's heart couldn't help but twitch.
But after a short period of pain, she calmed down little by little - the enemy actually came around behind them and attacked. This shows that the opponent has already discovered their inverted triangle formation and intends to let them pass.
This is to eat up their whole team. This appetite is a bit alarming. This is definitely not a plan that an ordinary team can come up with. Alyssa immediately realized that they might have also encountered the elite brigade of the Blood Oath.
And the other party may have a very clever observer, otherwise she would not be able to explain the situation she encountered before. At this moment, a flash of light flashed through the darkness. She turned around and saw the flash of light hitting a certain direction behind her.
After an explosion of light, Alyssa vaguely guessed what had happened. The connection between her, her sister, and the teammates behind her had been completely severed.
This attack also confirmed her judgment.
Who could be a good observer? An Lan's leader? The other party is said to be a very high-level ranger.
