Chapter 205
A month passed quickly above the ground.
For the humans on this land, Su Xingyuan almost represented "invincibility" from the moment he appeared. Except for the occasional times when he entered the portal, he rarely disappeared from people's sight for a long time.
During the first ten days, all kinds of speculations were rampant; during the second ten days, social media platforms were full of discussions about whether Su Xingyuan was hiding because he was afraid of a duel, and verbal battles continued; until the third ten days arrived, panic began to spread rapidly among the crowd.
It can be learned from the people who escaped from the dungeon that the flow of space and time in that area is faster than that of an ordinary portal. In other words, one day here may even be equivalent to ten days inside the gate. Su Xing should have conquered this dungeon faster than when entering other portals.
However, the wait lasted for a month.
Within the range of the dungeon estimated by experts, there was no sign that the dungeon's portal would reappear.
...disappeared in the dungeon for nearly a month, which could almost be considered death.
On the observation platform, Diana left the observation instrument again and shook her head solemnly at her companions.
When she observed it not long ago, the underground city still existed, but she could not find Su Xingyuan at all, and she could not see any deeper places. But when she looked at it again today, she couldn't even... find the location of the underground city.
It's as if... it was completely erased from some level artificially.
"What should I do?" Victor was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles: "It's almost the time that the Xingyuan Hunter and that person agreed to!"
Kirill said with lifeless eyes, "He must be dead... It's been a month here, it's hard to imagine how much time has passed in the dungeon. What a pity, he probably didn't leave a suicide note, so I have to be prepared at all times. Hiss, it hurts--"
An Qian came over and stepped hard on Kirill, then smiled grimly and said word by word: "The Savior will never die, okay?"
"If I hear someone say that again," he couldn't help but smile, "I will... do it."
Kirill sneered, "I'm just telling the truth. Besides, as the portal continues to grow in strength, if the Star Hunters don't come back, we'll probably all die sooner or later. You might as well prepare a suicide note for yourself... Ouch!"
This time, Victor couldn't stand it anymore and punched him. He turned around and said to An Qian helplessly, "You know his character over the past month. He is just too anxious and worried. If you two fight, what should I say when Su Xingyuan comes back?"
Speaking of enemies, a cold look flashed across the face of the flaxen-haired boy: "No matter what, I won't let anyone slander the Savior. Also, don't tell me you haven't prepared anything. That thing... do you really think he is just targeting the Savior?"
An Qian narrowed his eyes: "He targeted the Lord Savior because the Lord Savior would be the only obstacle to his actions. So, don't feel at ease and entrust everything to the Lord Savior - he has no obligation to take the brunt of protecting you."
Victor's expression froze, and he immediately said, "We definitely won't. We have already issued the highest level of preparations for war. If that guy makes any unusual moves, we have countless soldiers willing to go to the battlefield. I don't think other countries will sit there and wait for death. Country C, where the original hunters of the Starry Sky came from, will not just watch him fight alone."
In fact, An Qian and Kirill were able to be replaced from the center position because the senior hunters sent by the C Country Hunter Association shared their pressure.
Top hunters like the Hunter Association's president were guarding the area within Country C where the underground city's fluctuations had been detected, and they did not dare to relax for even a moment.
"J City..."
Ning Baiquan stood at the highest point and looked down at the city.
This city, which has the deepest connection with the Savior, is also the city that has received the most fluctuations from the portal within Country C. After investigation, it was found that in the past few years, dozens of people had disappeared in this city alone because of this underground city.
And now, the most powerful hunter who walked out of this city has not been heard from for nearly a month.
"Don't make that expression, Xiao Ning." Ji Tianshi, the president of the Hunter Association, didn't look so serious. "Isn't it time yet? That guy never plays by the rules. Isn't it normal for him to check the time? Besides, we have made all the arrangements we should make. If he really doesn't show up, we can do our best to deal with it with a clear conscience."
Ning Baiquan shook his head and said, "The key point is that not only are people praying for the safety of the Su Xingyuan hunters, but quite a few people are taking advantage of the incident to fish in troubled waters. In addition, several large A-level portals close to S-level have appeared around the world recently. Without Su Xingyuan, the hunters in the countries where the portals are located have suffered heavy casualties. Some people are beginning to be dissatisfied with him, thinking that if he had calmly waited for the duel and not entered the portal of unknown level, so many people would not have died."
Ji Tianshi: “…” What a bunch of lunatics, what does this have to do with Su Xingyuan? Is Su Xingyuan their volunteer hunter?
Ning Baiquan: "I'm not worried about the mentality and safety of the Xingyuan Hunter...but I'm worried about his attitude towards others."
You know, he actually thanks God every day. It is really rare to find a hunter like Su Xingyuan who is so powerful that his strength is beyond compare, but he doesn't care about his own safety and is willing to protect civilians.
I don’t know how many hunters who originally had strength and potential ended up being involved in power struggles, or thought that they were no longer in the same class as ordinary people and looked upon others as animals. Sooner or later, such people will become more dangerous than the portal.
Compared with them, Su Xingyuan's harmless little ailments can be completely ignored.
But Su Xingyuan is not a soft persimmon that everyone can bully.
If you make him angry, he will really kill people...
Why do they all feel that Su Xingyuan seems so far away from them, and why can he be so unscrupulous? Have you forgotten the tragic plight of those people before? With Su Xingyuan's speed, it would be no problem for him to crawl over along the network cable in minutes.
The Internet really has no memory.
However, most of those people were not from his country, so Ning Baiquan didn't really care. But he really suspected that Su Xingyuan would become more and more excited as he continued to kill, and would turn around and see him with a happy expression, "Ning Baiquan? Cut him with a knife!"
…This picture was so horrible that he didn’t want to think about it anymore.
Ning Baiquan looked down at his watch.
There were only fifteen minutes left, and it was time for Iskod to publicly issue the challenge.
Before he turned off his phone, he saw a push message pop up at the top of the screen.
[Iskold has arrived at the Hunter Duel Arena in Country A! 】
Ning Baiquan frowned slightly and clicked on it.
The first item on the page is a picture of a man standing in a duel arena with an axe in his hand. Because the distance is quite far, his specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, but according to the whistleblower, he heard the staff of the duel arena whispering the name "Iskod" with his own ears.
"Besides, who else but Eastcott would use the duel arena at this point? It's a national-level hunter duel arena that can minimize the damage caused by a battle between two top hunters. Hunters of lower levels are not allowed to enter."
"Reduce the damage? Hmm... Just like the hunters from the Suixingyuan area, once they start fighting, I'm afraid the entire arena will explode... It's naive to think that the arena can withstand it. Why do you think the top hunters are so elusive and don't take action easily?"
"You're a fan of Su Xingyuan, right? It's still uncertain whether this fight will work out. Let's wait for Su Xingyuan to come out of the portal alive."
…
Ning Baiquan turned off the screen of his mobile phone without being bothered.
Just then: "Ning Baiquan?"
Ning Baiquan was slightly stunned and didn't react for a moment, wondering if he was hallucinating again? If he thought about "Ning Baiquan chopped him off" again, he would really suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder due to Su Xingyuan's voice.
Then he realized something was wrong.
This sound doesn't sound... like an illusion!
Ning Baiquan raised his head suddenly.
The snow-white portal opened again in J City, accompanied by a soft halo, and "the savior walked out of the portal."
At that moment, the black-haired boy who was so beautiful that he didn't look like a human smiled and raised his hand to him:
"Hey, I haven't seen you for a month, but your dark circles are still fresh!"
Ning Baiquan: “…”
This is probably what it feels like when a filter is shattered in an instant.
Also, can I use it like this to keep updating things? ?
He didn't notice that after he saw the black-haired boy appear, his whole body suddenly relaxed, like a beam of morning light that penetrated the room full of thick dust without any explanation. He didn't have time to ask Su Xingyuan what had happened in the past month, and immediately told him the current situation: "Iscod is waiting for you at the Hunter Duel Arena in Country A. Someone has already leaked this matter, and there may be a lot of people watching there."
The black-haired boy blinked in confusion. "Watching? So many people have lost faith in life and are rushing to commit suicide?"
He will not affect the green name, but Iskod will definitely kill them one by one. If the strength of the two is equal by then, he will not be able to care so much and can only let the one who is hit by the knife leave it to fate.
Ning Baiquan couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, as long as Su Xingyuan's mouth is directed to other people, it sounds really comfortable.
"People who get injured by the aftermath of the hunters' fight because they get too close have no right to claim compensation." Ji Tianshi said firmly, "Fight as much as you want, don't worry about the losses in Country A, and beat up that Iscod. The president of the Savior Protection Association told me that guy is not a good person."
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly and smiled: "I know. I'm just waiting for the boss."
As soon as he finished speaking, a car stopped downstairs with the logo of Tongtianlou Group on the body of the car. The trunk was opened, revealing rows of neatly stacked high-level potions in the suitcase. The price of just one of them was prohibitive for ordinary hunters.
Ning Baiquan: "Have you reached another deal with Xu Banmeng?"
Su Xingyuan gave a thumbs up: "I'll advertise for the boss while I'm fighting with Iskod."
Ning Baiquan: “…”
The black-haired young man nimbly turned over and went downstairs, putting all the potions into his backpack. When he appeared again, he was already outside the duel arena.
He registered at the door slowly, and then walked slowly to the duel stage. Such a speed of movement made Iskod frown slightly: "You should take the duel seriously."
"It sounds familiar... But you can't succeed without patience. Why are you in such a hurry?"
The black-haired boy tilted his head slightly, and his green eyes curved in a subtle arc.
"Are you... uneasy?"
Iskold's grip on the axe handle suddenly tightened.
He once again looked at the human in front of him gloomily, but found that there were indeed no signs of physical collapse or injury, as if the originally irreversible damage caused by some ability that exceeded the human body's endurance limit had never existed from the beginning.
And... He always felt that there was something strange about this human body, a strangeness that was hard to describe.
If Nino were here, he would probably be able to see something.
But speaking of it, it seems like it has been a long time since I last saw the shadow of Siu-Nino.
