Du Yuqi was very helpless about this. He sighed and could only let the leech go. He looked at Xi and said:
"How long was I unconscious? You must have suffered a lot to rescue me, right?"
Evening Road:
"You were unconscious for about seven hours. The Violent Search Team was trying to catch you like crazy. We went through three blockades and finally arrived at this relatively safe place."
At this time, Xi's martial arts uniform looked quite dirty, and she also had wounds on her body. It was obvious that the challenge was definitely not as easy as she described.
Du Yuqi began to treat his injuries at this time, and at the same time asked about the reason for their separation. He then learned that after he and Jet escaped separately, Jet was caught up by Gasier II, and the two of them fought quite fiercely. However, because Gasier was experienced in combat and very strong, Jet soon fell into a disadvantage.
However, at this time, Bloodfang, who had a keen sense of smell, came over. He followed Jet's familiar scent. The reason why Bloodfang was here was because the stubborn Hanik that drove it away also came here to protect the core area. Bloodfang wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack this enemy, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance. Naturally, he came forward to help and sneak attacked and killed Gasier No. 2.
After killing Gasier No. 2, there was a noise coming from the distance, which should be an enemy attack, so Bloodfang took Jet, who was hit by Gasier's hypnotic grenade, and left quickly. Bloodfang took Jet to the camp where the group of people had stayed before, and there they met Xi, Holmes and Duize who were watching the situation, and then they met up.
What Du Yuqi never expected was that his escape actually became the fuse that triggered the conflict between the Brutal Hunting Group and the Zero Organization. The two sides had only had a tentative exchange of fire before, but later it turned into an all-out conflict. Both sides were really angry. Although the Brutal Hunting Group's forces here were already exhausted after a series of battles, and could be said to be at the end of their strength, they showed extremely deep foundation. Even Agamemnon, a senior director of the Zero Organization, was seriously injured, and another senior director, Aleushen, died here.
After hearing this, Du Yuqi was also very shocked. The death of the chief director of the Zero Organization was a big deal! It can be said that it was a huge loss to the entire Zero Organization. And according to Xi, the means used by the violent search team to kill the Aleutian chief director were even more horrifying:
Just when Aleutian was about to snatch the box containing the mutant Terra Stone, a ray of light suddenly flashed from the sky and flew towards Aleutian! At that time, Aleutian immediately felt a strong murderous aura, as if he was facing a great enemy, and immediately called his confidants to protect him, and even cast a magic shield and hid on his flagship.
The most domineering thing was that the ray of light actually hovered in the air, and after allowing Aleutian to make these preparations, it continued to fly out, directly penetrating all of Aleutian's defenses and killing Aleutian.
This move was really terrifying, it was like pointing at someone's nose and saying, I want to kill you, then you must die! No one can stop me, I can even let you prepare in advance, so that you can die without regrets!
Du Yuqi already found it unbelievable when she heard this, but the details Xi told her next made Du Yuqi feel that she had simply missed the most exciting scene.
It turned out that what killed the big director of Aleut was not a magical weapon at all, but just an extremely ordinary-looking branch, which even had a few green leaves covered with dew.
What made Aleushen die with regret was that this branch was only responsible for piercing through all his defenses. What really killed him was a small caterpillar. This small caterpillar was crawling behind the leaves of the branch. The branch turned into a ray of light, and stopped after it pierced in front of Aleushen. Just when Aleushen thought he had escaped, the small insect on the branch jumped up, bit Aleushen on the throat, killing him, and then fell back onto the branch!
As soon as Aleutin died, the Zero Organization, which had the upper hand, immediately became obedient and retreated obediently, switching from offense to defense. The Violent Search Team also seemed to be at the end of its strength and retreated again.
The branch with the worm flew away again and disappeared.
At this time, Du Yuqi just listened to Xi's description, and he felt really excited and couldn't control himself... There is such a strong man in this world! He can kill people with just a flying flower or a leaf, and when he attacked, there was no trace of fireworks, and he was so calm that he seemed to be watching the sunset with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he only hated that he didn't witness this scene with his own eyes, and he would be willing to live a few years less.
"It seems that the legend is true." Holmes came at some point and said while warming his hands by the campfire.
After hearing what Holmes said, Du Yuqi's eyes lit up and he said:
"What legend?"
Holmes said thoughtfully:
"Pastor Du, I heard that you sneaked into the Demon City this time and fought with many strong men from the Violent Hunting Group. So you should know the strong man who guards the tower, right?"
Du Yuqi said:
"Of course I know. The Tower of Despair is the core headquarters of the Violent Hunting Group. The Tower Guardian is a powerful warrior who guards the Tower of Despair."
Holmes said:
"Then do you know how many floors the strongest tower guardian you have fought against was guarding? The strength of a tower guardian is directly proportional to the number of floors he is guarding. The higher the number of floors he is guarding, the stronger he is! It also shows that his status in the organization is higher!"
Du Yuqi suddenly remembered something and said:
"It is said that Sodros has been practicing in the Tower of Despair for two thousand years. His level should be very high, right?"
Holmes said:
"He is the guardian of the ninety-sixth floor of the Tower of Despair. However, Sodros is quite special. Strictly speaking, he and the Violent Hunting Group are only in a cooperative relationship. He can actually refuse the Violent Hunting Group's requests. He is not particularly loyal to the organization. And the way he guards the Tower of Despair is just to require the challenger to last three minutes under his sword. So although he is strong, he is only on the ninety-sixth floor."
"The Tower of Despair has a maximum of 100 floors, and outsiders are allowed to challenge it. However, if you lose once, you have to start all over again. As long as you can defeat the mysterious swordsman at the top of the 100th floor, you can gain the respect of the entire Violent Hunting Group and astonishing wealth. Therefore, although there have always been strong people going to challenge it, it seems that no one has been able to do it so far."
"The Violent Hunting Group's purpose in doing this should be to obtain the genes of the powerful as materials for replication, or even to absorb some powerful challengers into the organization. Apart from anything else, the fact that time can be greatly slowed down in the Tower of Despair can undoubtedly prolong a person's life, which is attractive enough."
"However, there are many talented people in this world. It is said that a long time ago, there was also a brilliant and powerful man who passed all the levels without being defeated. He persisted in front of Sodros for three minutes and came to the front of this mysterious swordsman. According to the information he left, this mysterious swordsman was called Shenjian Liangyue, and the weapon he used was a branch. This strong man was defeated by him easily, and then Shenjian Liangyue sighed with regret and said lightly, "If I defeat you, even the caterpillar on my branch will not fall off..."
Listening to Holmes telling these secrets, Du Yuqi was also very surprised. After a moment of shock, he said:
"So, the branch that suddenly appeared and flew to kill the director this time should be the weapon used by the guardian of the 100th floor of the Tower of Despair?"
Holmes sighed and said:
"Very likely."
Du Yuqi said in shock:
"This guy can kill with just a branch thrown out. If he really uses a sword or a sacred weapon, is there anyone in the world who can be his opponent?"
Holmes said:
"All the information about the divine sword Liang Yue is a secret. It is said that his strength has reached the level of the legendary apostle. According to speculation, he may have entered the Tower of Despair earlier than Sodros. Therefore, his growth history should have been thousands of years ago and has long been lost in the dust of history. Only a title that seems to be called the guardian of the continent is left. He should not be able to appear outside the Tower of Despair, otherwise his life will pass away quickly."
