Chapter 141
port.
A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea where cargo ships were moored and cargo was being loaded and unloaded.
The whirlpool appeared too suddenly, accompanied by thick fog, and all ships of all sizes were instantly sucked in. Even the huge cargo ship was not spared.
"It's... a portal."
The inspector swallowed and looked with some horror at the vortex in front of him that was so huge that it made him feel creepy involuntarily.
It has been seven years since the portal appeared, and almost everyone knows that under normal circumstances, no matter what level the portal is, it is shaped like a black hole.
Once the portal takes on a special form...
This means that the danger level of the portal has increased several times compared to its original level!
"A special S-class portal... We must notify everyone to evacuate!"
This is not something that an S-level hunter can solve!
Even among the special portals recorded in the books, the strength of the S-level is unheard of and unseen. Even the B-level and C-level special portals can sometimes cause huge casualties! At this point, there is almost no better solution than to evacuate immediately and send out a signal for help to the international community!
No response to him.
The inspector turned around and saw the chief inspector with a cold face.
*
Four hours had passed since the portal appeared.
The popularity on the social platform is getting higher and higher. While people are optimistic about the seven S-level hunters and cheering them on, they also continue to express their support for Su Xingyuan.
Given that hatred towards Country C is the basic foundation, Su Xingyuan is not surprised at all that such a situation would occur.
However, when he was browsing the forum out of boredom, he saw a person with the ID "Su Xing Yuan Si" who was extremely aggressive against everyone who made malicious speculations about him. His fighting power was so strong that he could achieve the effect of a whole group by himself.
Su Xingyuan sensed something familiar: "..."
...Could this be An Qian?
I don’t know what the people in the Savior Protection Association are doing now. According to the setting, they should be on the player’s side, but Su Xingyuan always feels that it makes no difference whether they are there or not.
Su Xingyuan knew that this was the same as in suspense films where the police only appear after the protagonist has resolved everything - in fact, this was a good idea, because no one could steal his experience points, not even his own teammates as set.
...Wait, if the Lord of Hell's identity is exposed, can the Savior Protection Association be marked as a red name?
This idea was so exciting that Su Xingyuan fell into deep thought.
Unfortunately, before he could think it over carefully, his cell phone started buzzing.
Su Xingyuan took a look and found that it was a message sent to him by Ning Baiquan.
[Be careful in everything.] 】
Obviously, Ning Baiquan also knew the danger of this portal, and understood that according to Su Xingyuan's character, he would slip in by himself even if no one invited him.
Su Xingyuan: [Don't worry. 】
Then he exited the software and opened the real-time news bulletin.
We have to say that some reporters are very dedicated. Even in this situation, they still carry professional equipment and insist on reporting the situation on the scene. Unfortunately, due to the thick fog, even the information coming from the front line was not very clear.
But one thing is certain.
Ten minutes ago, all seven hunters had passed through the vortex and entered the portal.
And now, ten minutes later—
[Some human remains emerged from the whirlpool and were washed ashore by the waves. After comparing their clothing, they were confirmed to be S-level hunters from Country E who entered the portal.]
Immediately afterwards, even worse news came:
[The vortex expands, and the port buildings are destroyed and smashed by the waves]
The internet exploded.
【What's the meaning? Are all those hunters dead? Aren't they S-class? ! 】
[And he was thrown onto the shore...yes, thrown...! It’s so scary, why do I feel like this vortex-shaped portal is alive? 】
[What should I do? Is it too late to run now? ! 】
[I am devastated. I shouldn’t have scolded Su Xingyuan. He has never lost a battle. Can you come and save him?——! 】
Not only online, the officialdom of Country A also collapsed in reality.
"What the hell is going on?! Didn't they say that when an S-rank hunter enters this door, the portal will temporarily stabilize?!"
Why is it getting more and more dangerous? !
"Sir, there are two possibilities for this situation..." The analyst was also sweating profusely. He tried to keep his voice calm. "The first possibility is that there are only less than three of the seven S-level hunters who entered the vortex fifteen minutes ago."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell into deathly silence for a moment.
"What did you say?"
In fifteen minutes, at least four-sevenths of the S-level hunters were killed or wounded?
In an instant, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the officer's forehead.
At this moment, he finally realized what the concept of "S-level special form portal" represented.
"...What about the second possibility?" He asked, clenching his fists tightly.
"The second possibility is," the analyst swallowed, "this portal is really alive."
"It's not us who choose the S-rank hunters that enter the gate, but it... chooses us."
"Those who don't meet the requirements have no way of entering the gate. Instead, they are directly crushed by the huge pressure and various debris under the whirlpool. The remains of the S-rank hunters thrown onto the shore are probably a demonstration."
So what if he's an S-rank hunter? It is difficult to escape from the almost terrifying power of nature. What's more, this huge vortex is not a pure natural force at all. The magic power that maintains its operation is probably enough to crush an ordinary S-level hunter!
...Yes, ordinary.
S-level hunters...are the level where the gap in strength is most likely to widen, and the gap is also the most terrifying.
The figure of the black-haired S-rank hunter appeared unconsciously in the commander's mind.
But five million magic crystals...!
"Where are the blessed ones?" The officer wiped his face and said, "Can they come? Can you give me a definite answer?!"
The contact person said tremblingly: "The God's Blessed Group seems to be entangled... Two members have lost contact, and the remaining three members have been held back!"
"The people holding them back... seem to be from the Savior Protection Association?"
Chief: “……???”
The Saviour's Protection Society?
No, why are they here to join in the fun? ?
The officer's temple was throbbing.
Now the only one he could choose was Su Xingyuan from Country C!
Moreover, he had a vague premonition that Su Xingyuan might be the only solution to this portal, and that vortex with vitality was actually aimed at him!
In other words, Country A is completely taking the blame for Su Xingyuan, right? ?
They even have to pay Su Xingyuan's appearance fee!
Unfortunately, he had no evidence, and such unfounded remarks could not be posted online. The officer gritted his teeth and went through all the procedures as quickly as possible before obtaining permission to mobilize 5 million magic crystals. He then sent someone to ask Su Xingyuan to take action.
However, when the people from the Inspection Bureau knocked on the door, they saw the black-haired boy still smiling calmly and making a "six" gesture with his hand.
"You're late," he said, his eyes curved, his tone very relaxed, "I'm raising the price now."
"I want six million magic crystals."
The director of the Inspection Bureau's voice cracked through the communicator: "What?! You are raising the price...!!"
Su Xingyuan: "The relationship between supply and demand determines the market price. If supply is less than demand, of course I have to raise the price."
"you!"
The director of the inspection bureau almost fainted from anger.
But if I give up now, what if I still have to find Su Xingyuan in the end and he asks for a huge amount of money?
"…I agree. But you need to leave immediately!"
——It is better to agree to it first, and then play the victim, buy on credit, write IOUs after the incident is over. There is no need to worry about the large debts. They really cannot come up with so many magic crystals. Can Su Xingyuan still massacre Country A?
Su Xingyuan seemed to have not considered the possibility that the officials of Country A might cheat: "Of course, please trust my service attitude and professionalism."
The director of the inspection bureau breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately... No matter what happens in the future, let's get through this urgent hurdle first!
The official media immediately announced the news that Su Xingyuan participated in the attack, which was very effective and temporarily stopped the spreading panic.
Facts have proved that even though Su Xingyuan came from Country C, many people were dissatisfied with this, but subconsciously, they had nothing to say about his strength.
"I need ten boxes of high-level magic replenishing potions."
Su Xingyuan looked at the vortex shrouded in dense air and said casually.
The director of the inspection bureau was stunned.
Hunters who are requested by the country to conduct raids will indeed receive certain additional resource assistance, but Su Xingyuan's asking price was so high that the Inspection Bureau subconsciously ignored the matter.
...So the offer of six million magic crystals could empty the national treasury. How could he have the nerve to ask for potions? !
The director of the Inspection Bureau was so angry that he couldn't breathe, but things had come to this point, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "Send ten boxes of high-level magic replenishment potions immediately!"
——Since you are shameless, don’t blame us for being shameless as well. You can take these six million magic crystals after you die!
Su Xingyuan himself even forgot to ask for the deposit, and the director of the Inspection Bureau certainly would not remind him of this. With a somewhat twisted smile, he handed the box to Su Xingyuan.
Su Xingyuan didn't say any more nonsense.
He just smiled lightly, then fell forward, and his whole body fell into the whirlpool of horror like a fallen leaf.
“…”
The director of the inspection bureau gradually came to his senses after hearing his subordinates' calls.
"Are you all right, sir?"
"...No, I'm fine."
He just suddenly understood why Su Xingyuan, who had such a bad personality, had a large number of followers who were willing to die for him.
…
The moment Su Xingyuan fell into the water, he switched into mermaid form.
He did not add any beautification packages, and the characteristics of the top predator in the ocean were fully displayed. The water flow seemed to become a part of his body, and he could remain steady and at ease even in a whirlpool.
The entrance to the dungeon should be right in the center of the vortex, and can be reached even without switching forms, but there is obviously no way for players to maintain perfect defensive and counterattack movements at any time the moment they enter the dungeon.
Avoiding various obstacles, Su Xingyuan successfully reached the center of the vortex.
The next moment, a white light flashed before my eyes, and the first thing I felt was the sudden drop in temperature of the surrounding sea water.
Su Xingyuan opened his eyes.
——The waters he was in were no longer the seawater of Country A’s port, but an icy lake filled with freezing air.
