Xu Cheng suddenly took action, startling Oleg's three companions.
But the next second, they all turned their heads, looked at Xu Cheng with fierce eyes, and took action without saying a word.
The woman in the big wave raised her hand and grabbed it, and an invisible force instantly imprisoned the bodies of Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya, making them unable to move.
A young man with an aquiline nose next to Da Lang suddenly became moldy, like a gust of wind, rushing towards Xu Cheng at an extremely fast speed and kicking him in the head.
Xu Cheng easily broke free from the shackles of the invisible force, raised his head to avoid the young man's kick, and at the same time kicked the opponent's waist, sending him flying away and hitting the billiard table in the distance, destroying the entire billiard table. All knocked over.
Finally, there was a strong man with tattoos on his face. He jumped to the ceiling and slammed his thigh down towards Xu Cheng like a sharp axe.
Xu Cheng raised his hand, and huge power poured down his body into his feet, and the solid ground instantly cracked into cracks.
He grabbed the strong man's feet with his backhand and threw the other man back violently, hitting the big wave woman. The two of them flew out and hit the wall together before stopping.
The young man who had been kicked away stood up, grabbed the pool table on the ground with both hands, raised it hard, and smashed it towards Xu Cheng.
brush!
Xu Cheng's shadow flashed like a sharp blade, easily cutting the pool table in half and shooting toward the hooked nose.
The hook-nosed figure became moldy again, flashing rapidly in the entertainment room, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
The tattooed man who was thrown away got up from the ground, twisted his neck, and sneered: "Interesting."
Xu Cheng was also hesitating. If he killed three people here, would it affect the mission?
boom!
At this moment, the closed door of the entertainment room was suddenly kicked open, and the three people who were about to attack Xu Cheng stopped at the same time.
Xu Cheng and Zhuo Ya also looked back.
Accompanied by crisp footsteps, a hairy girl at least 1.8 meters tall walked in from the door.
Mao Mei was about twenty-five years old. She wore a windbreaker and black knight boots. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She had sharp eyes and an aura. As soon as she appeared, she calmed everyone except Xu Cheng.
Mao Mei walked up to the crowd and stopped. Her long, round legs, which were over one meter tall, were slightly spread apart and nailed to the ground like compasses.
She crossed her arms, looked around, and snorted: "Keep fighting, why don't you?"
The strong man with tattoos on his face grinned: "Captain Divana, this stranger came in and started attacking. We are just fighting back."
Divana turned to look at Xu Cheng, looked at him with stern eyes, and frowned slightly: "Traveller, I paid a high price for you to come here, not to let you fight with my own people."
International adventure expert and global traveler, this is the identity that the dog manager has placed on Xu Cheng's head, and it is also the person Devana spent a lot of money to invite to join the expedition group.
"It's just a personal grudge."
Xu Cheng glanced at Oleg, who was lying on the ground, his whole body charred: "Get up, our accounts haven't been settled yet, we'll die later."
This guy is a fourth-level powerful user with fire-based abilities. A mere lightning strike can't kill him.
Eyes fell on the charred corpses on the ground, especially the extremely dissatisfied looks of Oleg's three companions.
They helped Oleg fend off the enemy, but this guy actually hid on the ground and pretended to be dead.
This character is too old-fashioned, no wonder he was chased at his door.
After being discovered, Oleg could no longer pretend to be dead. He could only get up from the ground and glare at Xu Cheng with annoyed eyes.
Divana asked him: "Oleg, what's going on?"
Oleg casually talked about what he had committed, not thinking it was a big deal at all.
After he was forced to leave by Xu Cheng that night, he really became more and more angry. So when he returned to the convoy the next day, he found that Xu Cheng was not there, so he simply killed everyone in the convoy to vent his anger.
He did not expect that Xu Cheng would pursue him closely just because of the lives of those ordinary people.
"Are you really going to fight me to the death for an ordinary woman? If you want a woman, I can give it to you. Is a hundred enough?"
"I'm not troubling you for the lives of ordinary people."
Xu Cheng changed his reason: "It's just that you used your left hand first when you got up just now, so you have to die."
Oleg was furious: "What did you say?!"
Divana realized that the conflict between the two parties was irreconcilable, and Xu Cheng wanted to kill Oleg for any reason.
She didn't want to get involved in a personal grudge, but the two of them, one a recruited member and the other a high-priced fighting force, fought each other and lost her.
"I shouldn't talk about your personal grudges, but since we are going to be the same expedition group in the future, we can't have any conflicts with each other."
Devana suggested: "How about this, according to the local rules, you two have a one-on-one duel. No matter you win or lose, you are not allowed to cause trouble for the other party afterwards. I will ensure fairness, how about it?"
Oleg was quite hesitant. He didn't want to fight to the death for such a trivial matter.
But Xu Cheng obviously wouldn't let him go. He raised a finger and said, "As long as you can survive ten seconds under my hand, we will understand each other. How about that?"
Everyone's hearts suddenly relaxed. Oleg was a fourth-level powerful user with a powerful fire element. He couldn't be killed in just ten seconds.
In the eyes of everyone, this meant that Xu Cheng had given up and gave Oleg a step down.
Zhuo Ya had the same thought, but she didn't say anything. Xu Cheng had already helped her enough and couldn't push further.
"10 seconds? That's what you said."
Oleg suddenly became happy. The reason why he was unwilling to fight Xu Cheng was because Xu Cheng was not easy to mess with, and he might get into trouble during the fight.
】
But it's only 10 seconds. To put it bluntly, 10 seconds is not even enough time for foreplay.
"Do you think ten seconds is a short time?"
Xu Cheng corrected: "Ten seconds is enough for you to rush three times."
Oleg heard that Xu Cheng was mocking his three-second man. He gritted his teeth and turned to look at Divana: "Captain Divana, you have heard it. If he dares to cheat, you have to help me host it." justice."
"Don't worry, no one can cheat in front of me."
Divana also felt that Xu Cheng was giving Oleg a step down, thinking that this guy was quite good at being a good person.
Because they thought they might not be able to fight, everyone didn't change places. They just moved everything in the entertainment room to make an open space.
Xu Cheng and Oleg stood on both sides respectively. The others, except Zhuo Ya, were all watching with relaxed expressions. Ten seconds passed by in a blink of an eye, and there seemed to be nothing interesting to see.
Oleg twisted his neck and did simple warm-up exercises.
Ten seconds was probably just a formality, but he didn't dare to let down his guard, lest he capsize in the gutter.
This guy seems to be able to control lightning and shadow, making him a tough opponent.
Devana stood between the two of them, raised her arms, and swung them down hard.
"start!"
Oleg's hands immediately burned with blazing flames, and he swung forward directly, drawing a wall of fire on the ground, blocking him and Xu Cheng.
He has countless ways to delay this short ten seconds. Even if this guy doesn't admit it afterwards, Captain Divana will teach him how to behave.
Xu Cheng stood motionless, as if he had no intention of taking action.
Five seconds passed quickly, and just when everyone thought this farce-like duel was over, Xu Cheng suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Oleg looked wary, but his expression suddenly changed in the next second. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed violently.
Every time he coughed, a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth and splashed to the ground through his fingers.
"Oleg?!"
The others were extremely shocked and stared at this scene blankly. They had no idea what Xu Cheng had done. How could Oleg be so seriously injured all of a sudden?
The blazing wall of fire between the two people went out, and the seriously injured Oleg suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, opening his mouth and spitting out a large mouthful of blood with fragments of internal tissue.
Zoya clasped his hands together tightly, watching this scene with surprise and joy, his heart filled with the joy of revenge.
The shadow under Oleg suddenly turned into a sharp blade and passed by his neck.
His head flopped to the ground and rolled in front of Xu Cheng like a ball. His face still had a painful expression, his eyes were wide open and he had no idea how he died.
This bloody scene finally woke up Oleg's three companions.
"You bastard, you..."
Peng!
The floor under Devana's feet suddenly cracked, cracks spread, and debris sputtered out like water droplets.
An astonishing momentum instantly suffocated these three people.
Devana asked coldly: "What are you going to do?"
The strong man with tattoos on his face was extremely angry: "Devana, this guy killed Oleg, didn't you see it?"
"I saw it, what next?"
Devana asked in return: "He did not die from the enemy's sneak attack, but died in a one-on-one duel. This is the result of a failed duel. Do you want to violate the rules?"
The strong man was speechless for a moment, and at the same time he was also a little angry.
They always thought that Xu Cheng gave Oleg a deadline of 10 seconds and was just preparing to give Oleg a step down. Who would have thought that this old yin was really sure to kill Oleg within 10 seconds.
Half of his anger stemmed from Oleg's death, and the other half came from feeling that he had been tricked.
The woman in the big wave suddenly spoke, and said in a sinister tone: "Captain Divana, in your heart, don't the lives of the group members compare to the rules?"
Divana was not fooled, and glanced at her coldly: "If Oleg did not agree to the duel, as the leader of the regiment, I naturally have the obligation to protect him, but since he agreed to the duel and his skills are not as good as others, I can't blame others. , travelers are also members of our expedition group, do you want me to follow the rules or be more humane?"
Da Lang was speechless. She knew that Divana had always hated Oleg's way of trampling on human life, and the most important thing for an expedition leader was to be fair and follow the rules. Her actions were beyond reproach.
Although the two parties are now part of the same expedition group, the relationship between them is actually just that of employer and employee, not that close.
Xu Cheng continued to argue: "If any of you are dissatisfied, you can come to me to communicate. I welcome you at any time."
The strong man glanced at him coldly, with deep fear hidden in his eyes, and said to Divana: "Since you think rules are more important, then we won't accompany you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, followed by Big Wave and the hook-nosed young man.
When they walked around Xu Cheng, Da Lang whispered to him: "What fun do ordinary women have? Do you want to play something exciting with me, sister?"
She opened her mouth, her tongue twisted flexibly like a snake, her hands slid up and down, and she made indecent movements.
Xu Cheng smiled: "Sorry, I don't like spending money."
Da Lang heard that Xu Cheng was mocking her as a prostitute, so he was not angry and left with a smile.
After they all left, Xu Cheng said to Devana: "Are these three guys important? I can take over their work."
Divana had a vague sense of what Xu Cheng was going to do, but she didn't expect him to be so murderous.
"They are all local snakes. Without their help, we would not be able to carry out this expedition."
Devana narrowed her eyes and warned: "If you don't want to travel thousands of miles in vain, don't mess around."
However, Xu Cheng could tell that Devana didn't seem to have a very close relationship with these three guys.
"You go back first and come back tomorrow. I will convince them to come back to work."
If something like this happened tonight, trying to force the two sides to stay would lead to conflict. It would be better to let them separate and calm down.
Xu Cheng had no objection at all and took Zhuo Ya to leave.
Just as the two were about to walk out of the door, Devana's confused voice sounded from behind: "How did you do that?"
She was very confused and couldn't figure out what method Xu Cheng used to kill Oleg quietly in front of everyone. Was it some kind of special ability?
Xu Cheng looked back at her and said with a smile: "This is my secret, I can't tell others casually."
In fact, it is very simple. He spreads the powdered chaotic energy in the air. After a period of time, the powder is absorbed into the bodies of everyone present.
When he dueled with Oleg, Xu Cheng gathered the powder that he had inhaled into his body to form a mini bomb, which directly blew up Oleg's internal organs.
This method is invisible and extremely intimidating. Those three guys dared to attack Xu Cheng without saying a word before, but now they only dare to pretend and look fierce, just because they don't know what method Xu Cheng used to kill people. , was frightened.
Fortunately, the three of them did not move, because they also absorbed a lot of powder in their bodies, and Xu Cheng could reincarnate them as humans at any time if he was willing.
After leaving the bar, Xu Cheng took Zhuo Ya to a remote place while releasing his own electromagnetic induction.
It's a pity that those three guys didn't follow up and didn't give him the chance to catch them all.
Zhuo Ya had not spoken since Xu Cheng killed Oleg. When she reached a deserted place, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of Xu Cheng's clothes, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry!"
Xu Cheng looked back at her and asked strangely: "Why are you apologizing to me?"
Zoya's eyes were red, and her heart was full of shame: "I just... suspected that you decided to start a 10-second duel with Oleg just to let Oleg go... You helped me so much, but I still doubted you, I'm sorry. "
Xu Cheng didn't mind at all: "It doesn't matter. I did it on purpose to make them relax their vigilance. It's normal for you to be suspicious."
Zoya still couldn't forgive herself: "You have helped me so much, but I..."
Xu Cheng raised his hand to interrupt her: "Don't take it seriously, I'm just helping you casually."
This is not pretending to be noble. When Zhuoya was violated by Oleg, Xu Cheng happened to see it and helped her, and he also wanted to come to Kharkov and took her with him. It happened that Oleg was also from the adventure board. As a member, he helped her solve it.
Everything was just a coincidence. Xu Cheng himself did not expect that there would be so many coincidences. If he was really asked to give up his mission and help Zhuo Ya find his enemies, then he would definitely not do it.
Zhuo Ya thought Xu Cheng didn't want him to have too much burden, and he was even more moved.
Xu Cheng changed the subject and asked: "The revenge has been avenged, what are your plans in the future?"
He will continue to devote himself to the mission tomorrow and really has no time to continue taking care of Zoya. Moreover, it is too dangerous for an ordinary person to follow him.
Zoya had already considered this question and answered without thinking: "I am going to go back to my hometown in Kiev to live, and I am more familiar with the environment there..." She hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to come together?"
"As you can see, I am here to join the expedition group and will leave Eastern Europe in a while."
Xu Cheng shook his head and rejected Zhuo Ya's invitation: "Find a place to rest. I will take you away tomorrow."
After confirming that no one was following, Xu Cheng took Zhuo Ya to find a hotel nearby, but there was no such thing as a pleasant situation with only one room left.
After eating a simple dinner, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest.
After Zoya took a shower, she returned to her room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She didn't know how she could repay Xu Cheng, and couldn't enjoy his selfless help with peace of mind.
However, apart from some valuable items looted from the motorcade, what else can she give Xu Cheng in return?
After being unable to sleep like this until midnight, Zhuoya seemed to have made up his mind, so he took off all his clothes and jumped out of bed wearing only a T-shirt.
The T-shirt was not too long, and it barely covered half of his butt, with a pair of snow-white thighs underneath.
She walked out of the room barefoot and came to the door of the next room.
Putting his hand on his tall chest, Zoya took a few deep breaths, bit his lower lip, and reached out to push open the door.
When she found that the door was unlocked, her heart skipped a beat and she wondered, could it be Xu Cheng waiting for her?
She sneaked in, closed the door, and came to the bed in the dark, then mustered up the courage to lift the quilt and get in.
To her disappointment, there was no one in the bed, and Xu Cheng didn't know where he had gone.
Zoya lay motionless on the bed, her heart filled with loss and melancholy.
It took a lot of effort to muster up the courage, but unexpectedly, I was in vain.
Under the dark night, Xu Cheng was moving quickly between cities.
On the one hand, he escaped tonight to find out the environment of the city, and on the other hand, he was also preparing to investigate the whereabouts of the three guys and Divana and find out the identities of this group of people.
Relying on the chaotic energy left in their bodies, Xu Cheng quickly found the whereabouts of the three people.
The tattooed brawny man, the curvy woman, and the hook-nosed young man were hiding in an apartment drinking and discussing Xu Cheng's origins, deeply interested in his method of killing Oleg without anyone noticing. Feeling afraid.
As a result, while drinking, the three of them started to do the exercise of sandwiching cheese between two pieces of bread, which became the word "嬲".
Xu Cheng observed it for a while with a purely academic attitude and found that Da Lang did not lie and indeed had special skills.
In view of Divana's warning, these three people were involved in the success or failure of the mission, Xu Cheng did not eliminate the root cause, and left after observing for a while to find Divana's whereabouts.
Devana lives in a high-end apartment in the city. At this time, those who can afford to live in such a place cannot be underestimated in terms of connections and strength.
Devana had just finished taking a shower and was standing naked in the living room while blowing her hair with a hair dryer.
This woman is 1.8 meters tall, but she is not thin. Instead, she is plump and strong, with looming muscle lines everywhere on her body.
Xu Cheng didn't mean to peep, but was curious about the financial backer behind Divana.
The task prompts that this expedition is funded by a mysterious financial owner, and Divana is the only person who knows the identity of the financial owner.
Although Xu Cheng chose to join the expedition group, he was destined to be enemies with everyone if he wanted to find the left arm of the hero in the Tomb of Heroes. It was necessary to find out the identity of the enemy in advance.
After Devana dried her hair, she returned to the bedroom to rest. She was the only one in the entire apartment.
Xu Cheng observed for a while and found nothing secret, so he could only return the way he came.
When he returned to the hotel, before he even entered the door, he found Zoya sleeping in his bed.
Sleepwalking? Or went to the wrong door to go to the toilet?
Xu Cheng knew what Zhuo Ya was going to do with just a few guesses. Today's women are really lustful, and all of them will attack at night.
It's a pity that he is not interested. He helps Zhuoya just out of a little conscience in his heart and does not seek any reward. Even if he really needs reward, Zhuoya cannot afford it.
Moreover, after pushing down a lot of troubles, you may still have to take responsibility, so it is better to enlighten yourself, and you can enter the sage state with just a little guidance, and you will only feel bored with women.
The next day, neither Xu Cheng nor Zhuo Ya mentioned that she went to the wrong room last night.
After breakfast, Xu Cheng sent Zhuoya to a nearby station, where she was preparing to join a convoy heading to Kiev.
"Is it really okay for you to be alone?"
Xu Cheng was a little skeptical. Would it be too dangerous for a beautiful woman to go on the road alone?
Zoya smiled: "Don't worry, I could live well with my mother before, not to mention it's even easier now that I'm alone."
"I hope you are not raising a flag. Goodbye then. I wish you a safe journey."
"Goodbye. If you have time, you can come to Kiev. I will entertain you well."
Zhuo Ya carried some supplies that Xu Cheng purchased for her, then waved goodbye to him and turned to leave.
Her steps were very slow, and she was always waiting for a voice in her heart.
But when they walked to the car, they still didn't hear the sound they wanted to hear. Zhuo Ya subconsciously looked back and found that Xu Cheng had disappeared long ago.
She stood there blankly without moving. Finally, she sighed deeply and turned around to get in the car.
…
Xu Cheng is not as sentimental as Zhuo Ya, he just treats her as a chance friend.
When night fell, he came to the Brown Bear Bar again alone.
When we reached the fourth floor, the strong man guarding the door was a little in awe of Xu Cheng and took the initiative to open the door for him.
When Xu Cheng entered the entertainment room, he found that others had already arrived.
Devana did what she said and had convinced the three guys yesterday.
They looked at Xu Cheng with indifference and hostility, but they did not shout and kill like yesterday.
Seeing that everyone was here, Devana took the initiative and said, "Even if yesterday's incident is over, please introduce yourselves. We will need to cooperate with you in the future."
After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
"That's right, Oleg deserves it. He provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked."
Da Lang took the initiative to break the silence and looked at Xu Cheng with lustful eyes: "My name is Malina, handsome guy. Are you interested in having a drink with me later?"
With Malina taking the lead, the atmosphere relaxed slightly.
The strong man with tattoos on his face is called Yin Fan, a common Slavic name, and is also the leader of the three.
The hook-nosed young man is a Frenchman named Alex. He was once a killer who gave death to others, and he is a colleague of Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng directly used Archer as his pseudonym, and also found out the situation of this expedition group.
Divana is a famous explorer in Eastern Europe, but she is usually a lone ranger. When she needs to explore, she will form a temporary expedition group according to the needs.
Yin Fan and others are ability users active in Eastern Europe, and they are also local gangsters here. They were summoned by Divana to join the expedition team, so they have an employment relationship with her and are not members of the same organization.
These ability users are not short of money. The main reason why they want to follow Devana is because Devana can find some good things that can enhance their strength every time she goes on an expedition, and she is very generous.
After everyone finished introducing themselves and sat down in two groups, Divana said: "You should all know that our purpose this time is to find the whereabouts of an ancient ruins. The allocation is still the same as before. I will only take One of the designated items will also receive 40% of the total harvest, and the remaining 60% will be shared equally among you, is there any problem?"
After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that no one had any objections, Devana took out a few photos from her body and threw them on the coffee table in front of everyone: "Look, have you seen these things?"
Xu Cheng looked down and found that these photos were full of bottles and jars that were obviously old at a glance, as well as decayed weapons and armor.
There was one photo that caught his attention immediately.
This photo shows a stone door carved with strange patterns. On both sides of the stone door stand two five- to six-meter-tall giants.
The moment he saw the photo, Xu Cheng realized that his trip was not in vain - the stone gate in the photo and the stone gate of Lingzi Tomb were obviously the same style, but there were some differences in details.
If the photo is not a forgery, it is the second tomb of Lingzi.
"Only this picture is interesting."
Yin Fan grabbed the photo of Shimen, took a few glances at it, and asked Divana, "Is this the photo of the ancient ruins? Where did you get these?"
The goal of the expedition team is to find the whereabouts of ancient ruins. If Divana even has photos, then hiring them would be unnecessary.
