"The situation seems to be stabilizing."
Another huge tremor gradually erupted in the northwest of the ruins. Duan Qing slowly took back his head. While taking back the bottles of alchemy potions he had been holding, he made a sound that only the people around him could hear. He sighed deeply: "There shouldn't be anything for us to do next, right?"
"It has nothing to do with us in the first place." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who also put down his guard, quietly made a face: "What, you originally wanted to go out and try your hand?"
"Don't tell me, I really wanted to try my hand just now." Duan Qing threw the bottle in his hand half-jokingly: "Try how effective this improved paralysis potion is."
"If the whisperer hears these words, she will definitely kill you." Xue Ling Huan Bing turned her head expressionlessly: "It's okay if you don't help others remove the auxiliary poison, but you still take it They treat it as a guinea pig."
"Depending on the opponent's situation and on-site conditions, the alchemist's fighting style will naturally be different."
Listening to the final killing cries and fighting sounds that echoed through the sky behind him, Duan Qing put on a helpless smile: "Besides, it is human nature to attack the enemy's weaknesses, especially in this group of people fighting in the street. When a battle breaks out, the most efficient way to bring down the opponent is often the best way to save your own life..."
"They are all means to win. Why can't I poison you?" He nodded to Asahi Dongsheng beside him: "Are you right?"
"Agree." Asahi Dongsheng closed his eyes and crossed his arms: "Of course, using the current method of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight without losing any blood is also a very good method."
"Do you still have any grudge against the two families downstairs?" Duan Qing looked at each other with squinting eyes: "What's the grudge between you and that one called the Holy Crystal Alliance?"
"The Holy Crystal Alliance... they are not a good group of birds anyway."
He raised his head and glanced down again. Asahi Dongsheng, whose eyes became dull, replied in a low voice: "One of the countless small teams entrenched in the empire, originally just called Saint Crystal, and later absorbed it through various means. After joining several other small guilds, it became the current Holy Crystal Union."
"I can't go into details about the specific process. It's not a good method anyway." He said with a slight sigh: "So I'm probably not the only one who feels happy to see them being defeated now. "
"In other words... the guy who suddenly came out was also a man of injustice?" His eyes were on a certain heavy-armored warrior who was fighting fiercely with the leader of the alliance, and Duan Qing's expression became strange: "Do you know that heavily armored warrior?"
"Gedman?" Asahi Dongsheng raised his eyebrows: "Of course I know that he claims to have been the president of a big guild, but actually has some unknown origins. Although almost no one believes his statement, but …”
"The strength is quite good, and the command is strong enough - except for some minor flaws, he is indeed as powerful as he boasts."
The harsh sound of metal friction rose up on the east side of the ruins below the foothills with the words "Asahi Rises to the East". It was caused when the sword belonging to the heavy-armored warrior and the shield of the alliance leader's hymn collided with each other. The sound came from Gedman's retreating posture, and then appeared among the scenes of several broken walls being shattered by wind pressure, and with two straight horizontal slashes, his opponent was thrown away again. The powerful and heavy sword slash seemed to be able to move the surrounding air, and the subsequent laughter from Gedman spread to the surroundings of the ruins again and again. The boss of the Holy Crystal Alliance who was constantly being forced back seemed to also He didn't appear to be seriously injured, but the actions he wanted to perform were suppressed by the opponent's rising momentum again and again: "An attack of this intensity can be used continuously... It is worthy of what they have always said. That savage leader."
"Excellent." Throwing the heavy sword into the parallel space between the two people, Goldman's cloak fluttered for a moment with the strong wind that exploded again: "Being able to withstand so many heavy slashes ’s combos, and your defensive skills are also good.”
"A master like you, our Holy Crystal Alliance has always been waiting for you." He secretly looked back at the situation in the center of the ruins behind him, and there was a bit of unconcealable anxiety in the eyes of the leader of the alliance, Psalm: "Why do you still want to fight with us? If you are against me, is there any place where we don’t provide good hospitality?”
"I won't talk about the distance. In the last battle at Kemparo Canyon, those team members under your command did a lot of harm." Gedman replied loudly, pointing the tip of his heavy sword at the opponent. Said: "If they hadn't escaped before the battle, our wanted BOSS battle would not have ended with the entire army being almost destroyed."
"Escaping from battle?" Psalm, who raised his eyebrows, said with disdain: "How is that possible? We members of Psalm United are all tough men!"
"That's right, that's right, and they are all very grumpy." The sparks caused by the collision of the sword blade and the shield once again burst out in the air between the two people who were suddenly close to each other, and with them, there was also someone belonging to Gedman. Unabashed ridicule: "They seem to be very unconvinced with me as the temporary leader of the savage group, and they have always had objections from team command to the distribution of spoils."
"Ha, this is obviously your own problem, right? It's obviously because you don't have enough strength..."
"maybe."
The flames produced by the separation of the sword blade and shield once again retreated to both sides with the scene of sword energy scattered, and Gedmane's eyes that suddenly became serious fell to the periphery of the ruins: "So..."
"Now that you are the unlucky party, you can't blame anyone else, right?"
He smiled, and then gestured behind the opponent with his sword. Sheng Song, who understood something from the opponent's action, then showed a livid face, and turned around to look at the Red Lotus Gang who were gradually coming forward. The figure of the gang: "It's time to call it a day."
"You, you—"
"I hope this time it will be over."
Wiping the blood stains on his face, the leader of the Honglian Gang stepped forward again and pushed back the figures of his teammates who were about to move with only a few surviving members: "Although I also know that this kind of thing is difficult to do, But if the grudges here can be settled once and for all, it will be good for both of us, right?"
"...Hmph." The leader of the Psalm Alliance, who put away his shield and gradually stood up straight, then gave up his resistance posture with a dark face: "I have recorded the account this time. If there is such a chance next time, , I must get the place back."
"Welcome." The leader of the Honglian Gang raised his sword and walked to the opponent with a wide smile: "But... if possible, I hope that we can be in a more fair environment. To decide the outcome, don’t bring any ambushes or anything like that.”
"Hey, okay, it's settled then."
"Then... let's do this first?"
"Let's do it."
Splashing blood then appeared in the sight of all survivors, and along with it was the action of the leader of the Red Lotus Gang decapitating the leader of the Psalm Union with a sword. Watching the body gradually turn into The white light sword warrior then slowly straightened his back, and at the same time calmed down his panting breathing with the action of sheathing his sword. He looked around here, and finally shook his head in the expectant eyes of the other team members. While ordering them to start preparing to retreat, he said hello to Gedman, who also put away his sword: " ——”
"It ended up like this."
Losing interest in continuing to read, Asahi Dongsheng, who was lying on the edge of the rock above, also sighed: "As expected, as the legend said, this leader of the Red Lotus Gang is a very charming person."
"Really?" Duan Qing, who also withdrew his eyes, let out a helpless chuckle when he heard the sound: "How much do you know about this guy?"
"Well, I don't know much about this." Asahi Dongsheng wiped his chin slowly: "I only know that half of the few members of the Red Lotus Gang came with him, including those who later The original strength of the few savage players he picked up in Santerius Province is not as strong as others have seen..."
"How can you stand firm and have your own place in the underworld in the empire without two brushes?" He said with a smile and pointed to his chest: "This is also when I was undercover... ah No, it’s the experience I get from drinking with others.”
"So among the members he brought, is there a person named Qian Zhihe?"
"……how do you know?"
Xue Ling Huan Bing looked at him with surprise. Hearing these words, Asahi Dongsheng was surprised and threw aside the mature posture he had just assumed: "Do you know that guy named Qicai Lingguang?"
"We know each other, I used to be his team member before." Duan Qing replied with a smile on his face: "Of course, that happened last time, and he probably doesn't know me now. "
"Since we know each other, why are you asking so many questions?" So Asahi Dongsheng showed an annoyed expression: "Are you making fun of me?"
"You can't say that. After all, the big brother in my impression is far from the leader-level guy we see now." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "And his sister... No, you haven’t answered my question yet.”
"That Thousand Fingered Crane." Asahi Dongsheng slowly shook his head: "She is the trump card mentioned by the gang leader. She is the most powerful person in the Red Lotus Gang, but we rarely see her. Her name can’t even be found in the Red Lotus Gang’s list.”
"According to our later observations and guesses, that powerful fire mage is probably someone similar to their backer." Speaking of this, he once again pretended to recall: "Once the Red Lotus Gang has something She will only appear next to that group of people when she makes a big move, or encounters some kind of crisis, and uses her signature set of meteors and fire showers to cause a scene..."
"Backer?" Looking at Duan Qing who was deep in thought, Xue Ling Huan Bing then asked in a low voice: "What is that?"
"That's what it means literally." Asahi Dongsheng shrugged helplessly: "Although not everyone here is like this, there are many people who have secret support behind them, because they are all low-income people. Most of the troubles are caused by the gang leaders here relying on their own connections to get in touch with the higher-ups."
"...Then which guild is she in now?"
"I don't know about that, maybe it's Vizard or Jianghu or something like that." There was a look of disdain in his eyes, and he waved his hand towards Ri Dongsheng: "After all, it's not something worthy of praise in the first place, Hun Shantou People generally don’t reveal much about their backers, and premature exposure will not only waste their cards, but also cause war at a higher level.”
"Although the guild bosses and people in the professional circle don't like the resources we have here, we do, right?" He let out a wry smile: "It has really turned into a war between high-end guilds and even clubs. , then there really would be nothing to do without us little soldiers and generals."
"That's what's called flipping the table."
Duan Qing, who wiped his nose and regained his attention, smiled in a low voice: "The most fearful person in this business is Leng Tou Qing. If he doesn't want to play, he can make everyone else unable to play..."
"That's right, but I haven't met such a person yet." Asahi Dongsheng stretched his head and looked down the hillside: "This Honglian gang member who has just joined the Taoism doesn't look like this kind of person. ……Well."
"It looks like they have already left." His eyes searched behind the rock several times, and finally stood up slowly with his ax: "He ran pretty fast."
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of causing other unnecessary trouble." Duan Qing stood up after hearing the sound and looked around the ruins: "The battle just now was quite powerful. If it attracted other monsters or even players... …Well."
He seemed to have discovered something. He stopped talking and suddenly turned around. The purple-haired figure belonging to Violet was standing beside the rock behind them like a stone statue with a plain and quiet gaze. The midday sun was shining straight down above where they were, reflecting an unforgettable golden light around her motionless body. He used all his strength to pull his eyes out of it, and then he also He hurriedly turned his gaze and set his gaze in the direction that the woman had looked at once before: "What's there?"
"..."
Still not answering the other party's question, Violet, who was like a doll, just looked at the end of the road in this ruins quietly. A small black dot representing a certain figure then appeared on the horizon at the end of the road. The far end gradually revealed its position, then turned around and left this place silently. Duan Qing, who seemed to have also noticed the disappearance of the aura, slowly put away his solemn gaze while looking in that direction. The sound of heavy armors colliding with each other suddenly appeared in several people's ears from far to near. Under the hillside next to me: "Huh, hoo, hoo... you are indeed here."
The sword pointed at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was on guard, to show his innocence. The heavily armored warrior then put down his raised hands: "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, but..."
"Since you have witnessed such a good show, don't you want to come out and say hello to me?" 8)
