Chapter 93
Unlike ordinary hunters who are basically rescuing people and clearing out residual soldiers on the periphery, high-level hunters are mostly in the center of the battlefield, facing the groups of monsters rushing down head-on.
Ning Baiquan is also in this position.
His ability is not actually in combat, but rather in his ability to process information. However, he knows that as the vice president of the Hunter Association, he must be there to hold on. Moreover, the hunters of the Hunter Association need the most timely command.
Ning Baiquan can quickly process every piece of information on the battlefield, allowing his thinking speed to reach the extreme, helping hunters avoid possible risks.
"Fu Duoxing Hunter!"
A somewhat surprised voice was heard, and it sounded like someone from the Zhuichuan Guild. Ning Baiquan had a very good memory, and he could remember the voices of people from other guilds clearly.
Hearing this, Ning Baiquan raised his head.
Red flames cleared the way, and the man who was once known as the No. 1 hunter in Country C appeared in the center of the battlefield and nodded to Ning Baiquan: "Sorry, I'm late."
Ning Baiquan looked at him deeply and said nothing.
Xue Yinglong, however, vigorously fought off a two-story-high bull demon, and took the time to say, "It's okay. Everyone knows that you are responsible for many dungeons. Just get there!"
Under normal circumstances, Xue Yinglong, who was obsessed with the title of Zhuichuan Guild as the number one guild in the country, would probably have been sarcastic, but now was not the time to blame each other.
If the S-level portal in J City is not dealt with in time, the entire country will be affected!
"boom!"
Ji Tianshi fell from mid-air, holding a huge monster head in his hand.
Because of his daughter Qiao Zixin's ability to foresee danger, he was one of the hunters who led people to the scene the moment the portal exploded. It was also because he arrived in time that the situation is now barely under control, trapping the monster in J City, and preventing it from spreading outward in a short period of time and causing greater casualties.
He calmed down the turbulent magic power in his body, frowned and said, "There are too many monsters. We can't clean them up in a short time. If we want to close the portal, the easiest way is to go in and kill them all. We can't afford to waste time."
But...how easy is that?
If the portal had not collapsed, this method could still be tried, but now the high-level monsters in the portal are rushing out from the portal like crazy, like a faucet that has been turned on. It is extremely difficult to get in, not to mention that they will attack humans indiscriminately when they see them!
Ning Baiquan made a quick decision with his mind racing. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the man's eyes beneath his glasses.
"Then, at all costs, blast a path through it."
Otherwise, the human hunters with limited magic power would have to rescue people and fight the enemy at the same time. Even if all the monsters inside were exhausted, the hunters from Country C would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
At that time, if another high-level portal comes, who will conquer it? Just wait for death!
It’s better to give it a try!
This is obviously a very desperate method. If we resist conservatively, we may be able to hold out for a while after the incident is over if we are lucky, until new capable hunters appear. Even if we have to suffer temporarily, it is not a bad idea to spend a lot of money to invite foreign hunters to help us.
In short, there is a slight possibility of a lucky transition.
But if the plan fails, the top hunters who are trying their best to clear the way will probably die directly, and the battle line will collapse rapidly.
Fu Duoxing said, "I think it's feasible. We can't wait any longer. Obviously someone is targeting the Suxingyuan Hunter and trying to hold him back from reaching the battlefield. Besides, in the current situation, the power of a hunter can't play a vital role."
"The sooner a decision is made, the sooner casualties can be reduced."
As he spoke, the sea of fire covered the sky and the earth, and he nodded to Xue Yinglong and Ji Tianshi, then turned back to Ning Baiquan and said, "All hunters under the command of Zhuichuan Guild are under the command of Deputy Chief Ning. Thank you for your help."
Ning Baiquan was about to nod when he caught a glimpse of an unusual scene out of the corner of his eye.
Some distance away from the center of the battlefield, Fang Mujian, one of his most trusted hunters who kept roaming around to provide support and whose face was as pale as gold paper due to the overdraft of magic power, was gritting his teeth and overdrafting magic power again, lifting up a figure that was very weak compared to those high-level monsters into the portal.
The A-rank hunter who once considered himself a "senior" and had a lot of idol baggage spat out a mouthful of blood. His hands were shaking and he couldn't even stand up, but his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the shadow that was getting closer and closer to the portal, as if he wanted to remember something for the last time.
Perhaps that figure was also a monster, so it did not encounter any obstructions and entered the portal smoothly.
Ning Baiquan's powerful information processing ability allowed him to react instantly at this time. At the same time, his face did not show any clues. Mu Jian's complete trust in him made him act as if he had not seen anything. He continued with the previous topic and said, "Be careful."
Subconsciously, he added, "Fu Duoxing Hunter."
Fu Duoxing turned around and saw that Ning Baiquan's lenses seemed to reflect a moment.
Ning Baiquan said: "Please."
Fu Duoxing paused, said nothing more, and stepped out alone into the densely packed crowd of monsters, activating the Sky-Long Fire, which had the strongest offensive power and the widest range!
He did not hold back at all. Even the high-level monsters could not help but show signs of weakness and stopped moving forward when faced with the abilities of natural attributes. The plan seemed to be going smoothly at first.
Ning Baiquan stared at his back. The continuous high-speed operation of his brain made his temples ache. This was nothing to him. Compared with the dead hunters, it was an extreme luxury for him to be able to think.
But the strongest workaholic in the Hunter Association, who was once able to handle hundreds of official tasks a day, now felt a little unsure.
To put it simply, his ability is to obtain information and help him process it faster. But a person's brain has its limits. There are some things that he cannot accurately judge or analyze at the time. They are just stored in the brain at the most basic level, thus becoming a vague intuition.
This made him instinctively call out to Fu Duoxing to prevent him from discovering what Fang Mujian was doing.
Ning Baiquan closed his eyes and forced these thoughts aside. Regardless of whether Fu Duoxing really had a problem or not, he had to do his best in front of everyone. As a top S-level hunter, he could share the pressure for other hunters.
That's enough.
We must survive this disaster!
The flames scorched the surrounding air to a high temperature, and not only the monsters, but even the hunters who were teammates had to retreat three feet. However, Xue Yinglong and Ji Tianshi relied on their powerful martial arts to pass through the gap in the sea of fire!
Behind them, countless long-range hunters, after Ning Baiquan gave the order, all aimed in the direction of the portal to provide fire cover for the three top hunters!
The monsters were not without intelligence. When they discovered what the humans were trying to do, they rushed towards the gathered ranged hunters. However, before they could reach them, they were blocked by the hunters who were good at close combat.
These hunters are the most vulnerable to injury and death.
This was the catastrophe that occurred when the portal first appeared seven years ago. Countless such hunters were buried in the land of City C.
The life detectors were destroyed one by one, and the bodies of the hunters who had received missions from Ning Baiquan were captured by his ability to collect information.
There is only one chance, Ning Baiquan told himself.
The monster, who had no intention of participating in the battle and only wanted to eat fresh human flesh and blood, walked towards the outskirts of the battlefield. Fang Mujian fell to the ground, his eyes looking in this direction, calm and trusting. A monster discovered him, but the distance was too far and the hunters were gathering all their strength to clear the way, so it was too late to provide support.
...There is only one chance.
This officer, who was usually calm, rational, and sometimes seemed a little cruel, gritted his teeth. He stood in the command position and looked still calm. No one could see the pair of moist eyes behind his glasses.
“Exploded——!!”
Just then, a cry of surprise was heard!
They blasted open a temporary vacuum path leading to the portal!
With just a short distance, two top S-level hunters can enter the door, and even the third S-level hunter, Fu Duoxing, can follow closely behind!
However, at this moment, Ning Baiquan's heart skipped a beat. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back and his brain almost split.
Something was wrong…what had he overlooked? What information is incorrect? !
He frantically searched through everything he had seen. The images rolled before his eyes like a clear movie. Finally, he found the source of the danger he intuitively felt.
There was a monster, a monster that looked ordinary, but after its body was covered by flames for the first time, it was not forced back as they had imagined.
Its body was bloated and its breath was weak. It did not launch an attack, but instead moved closer and closer silently.
…
The foreshadowing of danger reached its peak at this moment.
“President!!”
Ning Baiquan yelled: "Retreat quickly!!!"
Ji Tianshi's pupils suddenly shrank.
He had complete trust in Ning Baiquan, and without any hesitation he abandoned the portal that was so close to him and retreated with Xue Yinglong!
But it was too late.
The bodies of those weak and scattered monsters were suddenly torn apart by sharp claws from the center, and something rushed out at an incredible speed. At the moment that thing left, the original monster's body suddenly exploded, and several similar monsters rushed out directly from the nearby portal and exploded together!
Being at such a close distance and in an unprepared situation, even Ji Tianshi and Xue Yinglong could not avoid it. They could only use their strong bodies to take it, but the things hidden inside the exploding monster's body took this opportunity to rush straight towards the two hunters!
At this moment, Ning Baiquan only hated his ability for allowing him to see so clearly. He could see the sharp claws of those small monsters, see the blood overflowing after the claws embedded in the flesh, predict the direction and consequences of their attacks, but he couldn't take his eyes away.
He was about to see his mentor die before his eyes.
Maybe... there's more.
The monster that discovered Fang Mujian has come to his side. The hunter completely lost the strength to resist. He was such a high-spirited A-level hunter, but in the end he could only lie on the battlefield and wait to die.
Ning Baiquan had never felt such deep hatred that almost burned his heart and lungs.
But no matter how much he wanted to take revenge himself, he had to consider the overall situation.
His lips trembled, and he was about to utter a hoarse "retreat and defend" when a bright silver variable suddenly flashed into his eyes. At an extremely tricky angle, it passed through the flames, the explosions, and the monsters, and went straight to the two S-level hunters trapped in the trap, like a sharp knife!
Ning Baiquan suddenly opened his eyes wide.
His heart was beating wildly, and he raised his hand tremblingly to take off his glasses, as if just so that he could see more clearly the silver hook that symbolized a certain existence.
The area of the black cloud seemed to be quite large, and the battlefield was shrouded in shadow, but the fishing line cut through the sky, quickly, accurately and ruthlessly dragging the hunter out from the heavy encirclement!
That's not a black cloud.
That's a dragon.
A dragon with jet-black scales that blocked out the sun in an instant!
He saw someone falling from a great height, with the silver knife in his hand emitting a flash of lightning, like a rapidly falling meteorite, accurately and without hesitation cutting the monster beside Fang Mujian!
The hunter lying on the battlefield felt something and raised his head.
Perhaps it was because his eyes were covered with blood, no matter how hard he tried to see it all, he could only see blood red.
But now, in the blood-red world, a little green has appeared, symbolizing infinite vitality.
He knows. These are someone's eyes.
