"Thank you." Xiaohua suddenly said.
"Well? Why are you thanking me? It was the two instructors who went to help you register... ahem, and any high-level professional who encountered such a thing would probably go, but because of me, the two instructors hesitated." Guan Liyuan tried his best to avoid words that would evoke the other party's sad memories.
"A burden? I guess so... and I really thank you! In fact, you are very scared, right? But you still asked the two instructors to help."
"Huh? I'm scared?"
If it weren't for the tired and sad face of the other party, Guan Liyuan really wanted to grab his collar and ask: Which eye of yours saw that I was scared?
"If you weren't scared, why did you look at Yan Dashang before?"
Indeed, if Guan Liyuan hadn't stared at him later, Yan Tiexin wouldn't have asked him a question...
[Wait! Did everyone else think I was scared at that time? ] Guan Liyuan suddenly thought of a serious question.
"Ahem, that's because... I always feel that he looks familiar, and it has nothing to do with being hesitant to speak!" Guan Liyuan shook his head to deny.
However, "Xiao Hua" looked at Guan Liyuan with an expression that said "Stop lying" and consoled him: "Master Yan's Mirage Tent is very powerful, nothing will happen... and Master Zhang's friends will be here soon, and it will be safer then."
"I've said I'm not scared... By the way, why do you call them 'Masters'? Don't they look familiar?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"My father was not in the same team as them when he was alive, but the captain of another team..." Xiao Hua's eyes turned red again, but he still held back his tears.
Guan Liyuan didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he always felt that something was wrong in his heart...
"Master Zhang's friends... should only be mid-level, right? Otherwise, why don't you wait for them to hunt the lord together?" Guan Liyuan changed the subject.
"Even if they are mid-level professionals, they must be veteran mid-level professionals, experienced and much more powerful than us. And I heard from Master Zhang that one of them should be high-level, but he just advanced not long ago." Xiao Hua said.
Guan Liyuan curled his lips at Xiaohua's behavior of classifying him and himself as "rookie mid-level", but he didn't make any excuses.
Now this guy just thinks that Guan Liyuan is afraid!
[Forget it, I won't argue with this spoiled little guy... Wait! Something doesn't seem right...]
"Xiaohua, have you ever trained with 'Master Yan' and 'Master Zhang' before?" Guan Liyuan suddenly asked.
"Of course not, I usually train with my father's team, but when my father and Uncle Zhan's team, as well as Master Yan and Master Zhang's team agreed to hunt the Earth Demon Bear together, I didn't go with them, but stayed in this mirage tent." Xiaohua said. Xiaohua
's own aura gave people the feeling that he had just reached the mid-level and was still very weak, but he appeared in the wild ridge area, so Guan Liyuan secretly concluded that someone was "leading" him to upgrade... Since
"Old Hua" dared to attract the attention of the Earth Demon Bear, the team level should be among the high-level, which is also considered to be at the forefront.
Although this hard training, over time, may also be able to reach the high level, but the strength is definitely at the bottom among the high-level, and there is no hope of any further progress.
However, Guan Liyuan was puzzled at this time, about another thing!
"That is to say, Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong are in the same team, and they are not very familiar with your father and the other team... This time, hunting the earth demon bear was not also proposed by Yan Tiexin, right?" Guan Liyuan suddenly asked.
"It seems so... Before, I heard my father and Uncle Zhan talking about 'whether their plan is safe' and so on." Xiaohua said.
Obviously, the "Uncle Zhan" Xiaohua mentioned is the captain of another team, and Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong are in the same team, not the two people who belong to two teams as Guan Liyuan thought before...
And what Guan Liyuan felt most uncomfortable was the attitude of Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong towards "Xiaohua" just now!
It is estimated that not only him, but Fang Yingxiong and others should also think that Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong care about Xiaohua very much, and behave like his close elders...
So when Xiaohua called them "adults", Guan Liyuan felt something was wrong!
【Perhaps because they indirectly killed Xiaohua's father, so they feel guilty? Or maybe they are showing some guilt in order to persuade others better?】 Guan Liyuan secretly guessed the motives of the two.
This alone does not explain anything, but Guan Liyuan does not know why, and feels more and more wrong...
"Guilt? Just now they showed more grief, and indirectly led everyone to believe that it was Xiaohua's father, the high-level 'Tree Caller', who made a mistake and finally made the Earth Demon Bear reconnect with the earth veins, and finally failed... I always thought that it was Xiaohua's father who organized this hunt!" Guan Liyuan
frowned even more...
Indeed, Guan Liyuan carefully recalled the previous events, combined with Xiaohua's words, although Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong did not tell a lie, but their words, the final effect, made everyone imagine a situation that was slightly different from the facts.
【If you look into it, there is indeed no lie... But this is what makes people more concerned! 】
Suddenly Guan Liyuan remembered what Kinkaku said in the Naruto world: "Language is also a kind of ninja tool."
Just when Guan Liyuan felt more and more uneasy, the Mirage Tent responded. It should be that someone nearby was holding a matching prop.
"Huh? They are here... Can you finally breathe a sigh of relief? Look at your scared face..." Xiaohua said as he was about to get up to open the door.
The Mirage Tent, ordinary people outside cannot detect this thing, but since they are Zhang Kong's friends, they naturally have props for "knocking on the door", or props that can cause the tent to react when they are near the tent.
But if you want to come in, except for the owner of the tent, Yan Tiexin, someone inside must help open the tent, or see through the disguise and force their way in!
"Wait! I'll go!" Guan Liyuan suddenly stopped him.
Seeing Guan Liyuan's serious look, Xiaohua was startled and couldn't help but say, "Then go ahead... Just follow the order of 0829 and unlock the spell on the left side of the door, and you can open the door."
Guan Liyuan became more and more suspicious that Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong had problems, so he naturally became more cautious about their "friends".
After triggering the spells 0, 8, 2, and 9 in sequence, the "door" of the tent first became transparent, allowing Guan Liyuan to see the outside, but the outside still couldn't see inside...
This involves a common sense problem of enchantment-type illusions... It is more difficult to maintain a one-way illusion than a two-way blindness!
Now that people inside can see outside, the chances of the mirage tent being discovered will increase, so this function will only be activated after the ritual password is entered.
At this time, Guan Liyuan could see that there were indeed three people outside, and the three of them only knew the approximate location of the tent, and were searching around. At the same time, the leader was holding something like a badge to trigger something...
The badge was obviously matched with the tent, and could trigger the "doorbell" of the tent, letting the people inside know that "someone is approaching. "
However, when Guan Liyuan saw the appearance of the three people clearly in the moonlight, his face became even uglier...
"How could it be them?" Guan Liyuan muttered in a low voice.
"What's wrong? Hasn't the door become transparent? It can be opened now." Xiaohua didn't realize anything yet.
"Shut up! Are you lying to us!" Guan Liyuan turned back and glared at Xiaohua.
With the slight mental shock of the domineering aura, Xiaohua felt that Guan Liyuan, who was "cowardly" before, suddenly turned into a tiger that would eat anyone it wanted. He could not help but take two steps back in fear...
"What, what do you mean by lying to you... What exactly are you going to do?" Xiaohua asked fearfully.
After observing his expression, Guan Liyuan temporarily relaxed his emotions... If Xiaohua had not told him some of the actual situation, he would not have realized that those two people were not right, and Xiaohua should not be in the same group with them.
"Don't make a sound... I suspect that Yan Tiexin and Zhang Kong are not right! It is possible that your father was deliberately killed by them!" Guan Liyuan said.
"Deliberately... No way! The teammates of Lord Yan and Lord Zhang were all killed in the battle... And they..." Xiaohua did not seem to believe it.
"Do you know who the three outside are?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Isn't he a friend of Lord Zhang? Do you know him?"
"Of course I know him! He is the notorious fallen professional, the Three Rat Thieves, wanted by the Alliance in the Duran City area... I almost died in their hands once!"
"Fallen, fallen? How could it be..."
Xiao Hua had no idea what to do, but judging from his appearance, he was at least in a state of hesitation and had no idea at all, so he would not cause trouble for Guan Liyuan.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Hua suddenly saw that Guan Liyuan had bone spurs protruding from his body, and he looked like he was about to open the door!
"Don't make a sound..." Guan Liyuan didn't even turn his head and continued to stare at the three people outside, as if waiting for someone to approach the door first.
"Don't be impulsive! Maybe they have deceived Lord Zhang. We just need to not open the door and wait for Lord Zhang to come back..."
[Are you a sheep baby? If you don't open the door, the "bad guys" can't get in? 】
Seeing that Guan Liyuan was still staring at the door, as if he would rush out at any time, Xiao Hua hurriedly reminded: "There may be high-level professionals among them!"
"That badge can lock the approximate location of the mirage tent. We haven't opened the door for a long time, and they have been searching nearby."
Hearing Guan Liyuan say this, Xiao Hua no longer persuaded him... After all, the mirage tent is just an illusion barrier prop, not a defensive barrier prop. If it is discovered, it may not be able to withstand strong attacks. If these three people are really fallen, now is the best time to take the initiative while the illusion barrier is still there!
"Is there anything... can I help with?"
"Just stay here! Just wait and shout 666!"
"..."
