Chapter 355: Humans are more terrifying than phantom demons
Next, Su Ming and his party prioritized finding the entrance to the next level. They did not engage in battle, avoided the group of phantom demons here, and did not hunt for treasure. Unless something was really right in front of them and they could easily pick it up, no one would take action.
One man and four women explored the first floor while recording the map and direction to avoid getting lost.
Fortunately, the highest level of the phantom demons in this first layer is only the level of lower-level phantom demon mutants, and no higher-level phantom demons appeared. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Su Ming and others to travel so stress-free.
On the way, Su Ming and others also encountered other professional teams several times.
Some of them, like Su Ming and his party, were looking for the entrance to the next level. After seeing Su Ming and his party, they not only did not conflict with them, but exchanged information and recorded maps with each other, saving each other a lot of time. They would not search those areas that had been searched but had no entrance.
Some of them were wholeheartedly searching for rare treasures, trying their best to plunder all the resources within their sight. When they saw Su Ming and others, they even revealed greed and malicious emotions for a moment.
Su Ming could roughly guess what the other party wanted to do.
"Want to see if we have collected any valuable resources? If so, why don't you take them away?"
Su Ming narrowed his eyes.
This is not something strange.
There are millions of professionals in Tianfeng City, and naturally not all of them are good people.
Some professionals appear to be righteous on the surface, but secretly do things of bullying and exploitation, and are no less cruel than the ruthless underground professionals.
No matter what kind of place it is, when there are a lot of people, there will naturally be some people who want to take shortcuts and do dirty things to satisfy their own desires or needs.
If they were in Tianfeng City, there would be clear regulations restricting them. If they didn't want to be exiled or detained and become underground professionals, they wouldn't dare to act so blatantly.
But outside Tianfeng City, the situation is like the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and distant water cannot quench nearby fire. The other party can do whatever they want, and even if Tianfeng City wants to intervene, it cannot do anything unless there is definite evidence to report.
Therefore, in dangerous areas in the wilderness and some strange places, it is very common for professional teams to cheat each other, or even for black to eat black.
Even for some professional teams that disdain to do illegal things, it is normal for them to fight with each other when they come across precious extraordinary items in the wild.
The Polar Night Maze is a hidden wonderland with treasures everywhere. It is not surprising that some teams with ulterior motives would want to rob them.
In a place like this, even if you kill someone, no one will find out unless you are too reckless. Even if you are a little reckless and someone finds out, you won't be able to do anything to the person without evidence.
Under such circumstances, it is only natural that evil-minded villains will reveal their true colors and show a side that is even worse than that of underground professionals.
Unfortunately, the people on Su Ming's side are not vegetarians.
Under the cold gaze of Chi Qian, Mu Yan, Feng Qing'er and others, those teams with ulterior motives finally recognized the origin of "Azure Mercury".
"Then that seems to be Chi Qian of 'Azure Mercury', right?"
"Are those two beside them Mu Yan and Feng Qing'er?"
"Six-star professionals? And two five-star professionals.!?"
“Go!”
The evil professionals who were about to smile grimly panicked when they recognized the identities of Chi Qian and others.
Especially after seeing Chi Qian, they turned around and ran without thinking.
Are you kidding? He's a six-star professional.
Professionals of this level can only be found in A-level teams, and some can only be found in S-level teams.
For an average B-level team, it would be good enough to have a five-star professional. How could there be a six-star professional?
As for this hidden wonderland, all the S-level teams were guarding outside and did not come in. Only the A-level and B-level teams came in.
In other words, here, six-star professionals are the ceiling.
With a six-star professional in charge, even an A-level team would not dare to offend him.
Although "Azure Mercury" is a C-level team, probably the lowest level team entering the hidden wonderland this time, it has a six-star professional Chi Qian in charge. Not to mention those ordinary B-level teams, even the famous A-level teams such as "Summer Chasing Smoke", "Jinlong Yuge", "Iron Rose" and so on will not offend each other unnecessarily.
Even if we don't count Chi Qian, the six-star professional, Mu Yan and Feng Qing'er are both five-star professionals. This month, they have already completed the update and re-recording of their information in the Professional Center. Anyone who is not really blind will be able to recognize the identities of these two people.
Two five-star professionals are someone that ordinary B-level teams cannot afford to offend.
So, these guys with bad intentions fled without thinking.
However. "Huh!"
Just as Su Ming was standing aside watching the show, Mu Yan suddenly swung out her thorny whip, causing a whistling sound.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Accompanied by a series of dull sounds, the thorny whip accurately hit the ill-intentioned professionals one by one, causing them to scream one by one as they turned to flee, and were knocked to the ground on the spot.
"What?"
Su Ming was stunned as he didn't expect Mu Yan to suddenly take action.
What surprised him even more was that not only Chi Qian, but even Tong Xinyao was watching all this as if it was a matter of course, without any change in expression.
Feng Qing'er even took out a rope directly.
"Huh! Want to run?"
The girl hummed softly as she stepped forward and tied up the professionals who were knocked unconscious one by one as if she were an expert at this.
Seeing that skilled look, Su Ming was confused.
"What are you doing?"
Su Ming looked at Chi Qian and others with a puzzled look on his face.
Feng Qing'er spoke immediately.
"Catch the bad guys!" Feng Qing'er asked in confusion, "Hasn't the captain ever done that?"
What a ghost! Who has done such a thing? Su Ming immediately looked at Chi Qian in great confusion.
Chi Qian understood and began to explain.
"It seems that the captain rarely encounters professionals with bad intentions in the wild." Chi Qian said: "We have encountered such things many times, especially when we were still in the "True Red" period."
As a new team that has only been developed for two years, "Zhenhong" is composed entirely of women and has no major forces backing it up. Naturally, it has encountered many unfair things.

When adventuring in the wild, many professionals saw that all the people on Zhenhong's side were women, some of whom were particularly beautiful, and they couldn't suppress the evil thoughts in their hearts.
For this reason, Chi Qian and others, including Tong Xinyao, have been disgusted by such people.
Therefore, they are already accustomed to such unscrupulous professionals coming to their door, and they have a set of skilled methods to deal with them.
"At first, we pretended not to see anything. After we dispelled their ill intentions, we just sat back and watched them leave."
"But these people, even though they can't harm us, can harm others. Some of them even hold a grudge and deliberately pick on the weaker teams and bully them when True Red is out on a mission."
"We've suffered losses several times. We wanted to cause trouble for them, but we had no evidence. Some of them even became underground professionals to retaliate against us and then ran away."
When talking about this, Chi Qian's tone was unusually cold, and Mu Yan's face was even more frosty. Even Feng Qing'er and Tong Xinyao looked indignant, and their expressions were full of disgust when they looked at those professionals with ulterior motives.
"After that, we no longer showed mercy to these professionals who were obviously dishonest and had dirty intentions."
Chi Qian glanced at the tied-up professional and spoke with a cold face.
"If we let them go, perhaps someone else will suffer in a place we don't know about, and be harmed by these people again, or even be hated by them."
Thanks to this, Chi Qian and others have become accustomed to dealing with this kind of things.
As for how to deal with it, it depends on the severity of the situation.
If the crime is minor, they will be tied up directly, and the Tianfeng City officials will be notified to come and receive them, and then taken back for punishment.
If the circumstances are serious, these girls may take action.
"Captain, when you are out there in the future, you must remember not to take the other party lightly just because they are human beings and have the same profession as you, or to let these people with bad intentions go easily just because they are human beings and have the same profession as you."
Chi Qian gave a warning.
"Sometimes, the human heart is scarier than the devil."
"At least, the phantom demon pounced on you openly, trying to suck your blood."
"And some people, although they appear to be kind and friendly on the surface, are actually secretly thinking about how to suck your blood dry and make you fall into eternal damnation."
Chi Qian's words made Su Ming look at these girls in a different light.
He naturally understood this truth.
Apart from anything else, didn’t he attack Zhang Chen and openly steal his things?
Su Ming himself is not a good person in the broad sense, so he naturally would not easily believe that others have good intentions towards him. Otherwise, he would not have kept it hidden.
If Chi Qian and others were not here, Su Ming would not mind taking some ruthless measures.
It was because he saw these beautiful girls around him that he didn't think about doing anything to those professionals.
Who would have thought that Chi Qian and others had experienced more than he imagined, and were not the kind-hearted people.
Su Ming was very happy about this.
He doesn't want his team to be made up of people who have talent and strength but are soft-hearted and don't guard against others.
The performance of Chi Qian and others today changed Su Ming's opinion of them and made him feel secretly relieved.
"With this mindset, they won't suffer losses in the future."
This is what you should do when facing some ruthless guys. Being a little ruthless is the right thing to do.
While thinking this, he didn't realize that a group of even more ruthless beings had already entered the Midnight Labyrinth.
When they, dressed in black, collectively jumped down from the ground and landed at the entrance of the first floor, a blood feast and killing party began.
