Chapter 265: Change of Position
Because of a call from his companion, the knight's position was exposed to Menqi and Ryan.
Knowing that he could no longer hide his whereabouts, the knight simply answered the phone, and then was somewhat helpless after a few words from his companion.
Sheila's soft voice came from the red devil's phone: "It will be used in a while, that hunter license... Well, I also want to take one."
"It's hard to say, but it's better to be prepared."
The knight walked out of the building shelter, stood on the roof, and said: "Besides, my "duty" and "license" are still very compatible. If I can get it, there will always be many benefits."
"That's right, then you work hard, I'm going to find a "way out", let's do this first."
"Wait..."
"Click."
Before the knight finished speaking, the phone was hung up by Sheila.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, trying to call Sheila.
However, it didn't work at all.
Because there was no signal on the phone in this unknown ruins.
The reason why Shira was able to make the call just now was probably because she triggered the effect of the ability to "ask for help".
"Lost" → "Ask for help" → "Way out"
This is the stage of Shira's ability called "Adventurer's Road".
When you want to find something, you will get lost on the journey and even encounter danger.
At this stage, you will get a chance to "ask for help". After that, you must go through the entire process of "asking for help" before you can find the final "way out".
The knight felt that this kind of mind ability was really troublesome and strange. Shira always activated her ability inadvertently, so she would get lost somewhere at any time.
Shaking his head slightly, the knight gave up the idea of making the call, and then appeared in front of everyone in the field.
"I have no interest in "fighting", and I hope I won't affect your interest."
The knight put one hand on his waist and held the phone in the other hand, with a faint smile on his young face.
In the field.
Ryan frowned.
If it weren't for the sudden ringing of the cell phone, he wouldn't have noticed the existence of the knight.
This is enough to show that --
The opponent's "Absolute" is at least very strong, so other Nen skills should not be weak either.
It was already difficult to deal with that difficult boy, and now there is another person with Nen ability who seems to be strong.
This is not good news for Ryan.
Ryan didn't notice the existence of the knight from beginning to end, and the same is true for Menqi.
So when the knight appeared, Menqi immediately prepared for battle.
Among the three, only Moyu was relatively calm.
On the top of the building.
The knight took in everyone's reactions calmly.
"Not surprised at all?"
What he cared about more was Moyu's reaction.
"Forget it, just take this opportunity to let... um?"
When the knight spoke, he looked in the direction of the pure gold crown, and his eyes suddenly changed.
Under his gaze, a fat man had already run to the vicinity of the snakeskin bag, and his puppet was still some distance away from the snakeskin bag.
"Where did this guy come from!?"
The knight quickly put away the smile on his face and frowned slightly.
Because of the call from Xila, his position was exposed, so the knight simply showed up, hoping to attract the attention of Moyu and others, and then let the puppet with an antenna to steal the pure gold crown on the snakeskin bag.
But he didn't expect that--
a fat man who suddenly appeared arrived at the snakeskin bag faster than the puppet.
This fat man was naturally Dongba, who was aroused by the "Hand of No Return Paradise".
He touched the pure gold crown very cautiously, and the appearance of the knight helped him attract everyone's attention, so he seized the opportunity and ran over with all his strength.
Just like that--
Under the gaze of everyone with different expressions, Dongba came to the snakeskin bag, stretched out his hands and picked up the valuable pure gold crown.
At this time, Dongba should have run away with the pure gold crown.
But...
When Dongba's hands touched the pure gold crown, he somehow held the snakeskin bag in his arms.
"Why did I take this bag with me..."
Dongba looked at the bulging gold coins through the drawstring of the snakeskin bag.
He had finally come here, so he naturally noticed the gold coins in the snakeskin bag.
However, he did not intend to take the snakeskin bag away, after all, it would affect his running speed.
But now he even picked up the snakeskin bag.
Dongba was stunned, and his first reaction was to immediately drop the heavy snakeskin bag, but then he inexplicably felt that it was a pity to throw it away.
The mental entanglement made him stand there for several seconds.
On the top of the building.
The knight canceled the "automatic control" command on the mobile phone and switched to manual operation. His fingers quickly pressed on the keys, controlling the antenna puppet to run towards Dongba.
"The guy who's in the way."
While controlling the antenna puppet, he looked at Dongba who suddenly appeared.
If it weren't for this guy, his antenna puppet would have gotten the pure gold crown in about ten seconds.
By then, he could have gotten away without getting involved in the fight.
The knight noticed Dongba's movements, and Ryan naturally saw Dongba holding up the pure gold crown, and his eyes turned cold.
For Ryan now, the pure gold crown could be said to have been exchanged for the lives of Baybo and Mantis, so how could he let a rat in a stinky ditch steal it.
Without any hesitation, Ryan suddenly stepped forward, leaving Moyu and Menqi behind, and rushed towards Dongba like a beast.
Seeing this, Moyu let Ryan rush towards Dongba, and signaled Menqi to stop with his eyes.
Menqi, who had already condensed the telepathic ball again, was puzzled after seeing Moyu's signal, but still put away his telepathic power at the first time.
Seeing Menqi put away his telepathic power, Moyu turned to look at Dongba and whispered to himself: "I really didn't see it..."
He felt that Dongba was not the kind of person who would rashly put himself in danger for the sake of treasure.
But now it seems that he overestimated Dongba.
But this cannot be blamed on Dongba, after all, the pure gold crown is indeed not an ordinary treasure, and it is human nature to take risks for it.
Since Dongba is willing to take risks, Moyu chose to give the "stage" to Dongba and let Ryan find trouble with Dongba.
Start your performance.
Moyu thought to himself.
The human puppet with antennas and Ryan rushed towards Dongba together.
Compared with the human puppet with a weaker presence, Ryan's undisguised violent aura can be said to be like an attack horn, reminding Dongba of the upcoming attack.
"Why did you stop... Hey, stop him!!!"
Dongba saw Ryan, who was emitting a terrifying aura, rushing towards him, and suddenly a panic surged in his heart.
At this time, he certainly couldn't expect Moyu to stop Ryan.
Bang!
As if he was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, Dongba threw away the snakeskin bag that would affect his escape, and then ran wildly holding the pure gold crown.
"Tsk."
Seeing that Dongba just threw away the snakeskin bag when facing a fatal threat, Moyu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
What's going on, little brother...
It's time, and you're still holding the crown.
It seems that the "newcomer killer" will become history.
Moyu thought silently in his heart.
The knight not far away looked at Ryan's action of rushing towards Dongba, and then looked at Moyou who was standing still.
Without much room for thinking, the knight also chose to chase Dongba.
"Let's get the treasure first."
This is the knight's idea.
In just a few breaths, the situation in the field changed.
Dongba's short legs were no match for the Nen user. He was caught up by Ryan after running a distance.
In an instant, a strong breath of danger rushed from behind. Dongba's fear and panic broke through the critical point at this moment, and the desire for the pure gold crown in his heart disappeared.
There is no doubt that the pure gold crown in his hand has become the hottest potato.
"Is this poor man crazy...!!!"
As if he suddenly woke up, Dongba cursed himself in his heart, and then threw the pure gold crown back with all his strength.
Swish——!
The pure gold crown passed over Dongba's head, drew an upward arc in the air, and happened to fly towards the candidate puppet that the knight had inserted an antenna into.
Ryan stopped suddenly and swept his cold eyes towards Dongba.
Before turning around to chase the crown, Ryan kicked a stone next to him and shot it directly at the back of Dongba's head.
After making this move, Ryan turned around without even looking and chased the pure gold crown.
With the force of his kick, as long as the stone could hit the back of Dongba's head, Dongba would definitely die.
But just when the stone was about to hit the back of Dongba's head, Dongba lost his balance because he threw the crown too hard, and fell down hard.
But because of this, he narrowly avoided the deadly stone shot from behind.
Dongba fell down with golden eyes, and didn't realize that he had walked through the gates of hell.
He quickly got up, just wanting to disappear from the sight of the monsters.
"Damn, this year's damn test..."
Dongba, whose nerves were always tense, was about to cry. The only thing he was thankful for at this moment was that the monster behind him did not chase him.
"Huh?"
After running a distance in a very embarrassed manner, Dongba suddenly looked at the temple in front of him with a heavy stone door open.
"Hide in first."
Looking at the temple, Dongba's mind moved.
He didn't believe that the temple had only one entrance.
If he hid in first, he could escape from passages such as the back door at any time if something happened.
If he could close the heavy stone door, he could also prevent the moving armor and strange statues around him from causing trouble for him.
Dongba, who made the decision, ran straight to the temple, then passed through the open heavy stone door and went inside.
"Hu, hu..."
He panted and pushed the stone door with all his strength.
But no matter how hard he tried, the heavy stone door showed no sign of moving.
"Too heavy."
Dongba was a little disappointed, and immediately looked outside.
The pure gold crown that he had just thrown away was held by a man who looked familiar to him.
"Telebi?"
Dongba quickly recognized the identity of the man. He was a candidate who had participated in several tests. He could barely be called a senior and had some interactions with him.
So--
The hot potato that was just thrown away fell into the hands of Trebi?
Dongba was a little surprised, and then looked at the dinosaur-like big guy, only to see that the other party rushed towards Trebi with murderous intent on his face.
It was obvious that no matter who wanted to get his hands on the pure gold crown, he would be regarded as the primary target by the big guy.
"Why don't you let go even after all this?!"
Dongba, who had a deep understanding of Ryan's terrifying momentum, couldn't help but cursed him in his heart when he saw that Tereb had no intention of throwing away the pure gold crown.
But he knew nothing about the ability of mind, and he didn't expect that Tereb was now a living dead controlled by the knight.
Dongba felt that Tereb was dead, so he retracted his gaze and retreated into the temple.
Now only this place could give him a sense of security.
"Huh..."
Dongba let out a long breath, and only then did he have time to look at the environment in the temple.
"Huh?"
With just one glance, Dongba saw a large number of gold coins piled up next to a stone pillar.
"This...!!!"
Dongba's eyes slowly widened to the maximum, and his face was full of shock.
Suddenly seeing so many gold coins, he really didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.
I always feel that after arriving at the first test site, my whole mood is like a roller coaster.
A minute ago, I was excited to get the pure gold crown.
Half a minute ago, I was almost scared to death by that big guy.
Now, there is another mountain of gold coins in front of me.
It's so tortuous...
It's so surprising!!!
Dongba resisted the urge to shout loudly, ran towards the pillar, and then jumped into the mountain of gold coins.
Suddenly, the crisp sound of gold coins colliding echoed throughout the temple.
A blessing in disguise!
Dongba emerged from the pile of gold coins, picked up a pile of gold coins with both hands, and then threw them up with all his strength, creating a rain of gold coins with his bare hands.
Dongba, who was in an extremely excited state, did not notice the existence of another figure in the temple.
Mammon, who was naked but had no gender characteristics, with pure black wings on his back, was staring at Dongba who was reveling in the pile of gold coins with a rather weird look.
The human in front of him——
Just because of extreme fear, the power of "Hand of No Return Paradise" was invalidated, but less than a minute later...
Because of a pile of gold coins, the power of "Hand of No Return Paradise" was instantly revived.
Mammon stared at Dongba as if he was looking at a pig.
Humans are indeed a magical creature.
Mammon thought to himself.
He was born only to plunder greedy desires, but he was not interested in causing death.
So now he just stared at Dongba who was having fun quietly, without any other next move.
"Is it my illusion?"
Dongba fiddled with the gold coins casually, frowned and said to himself: "I always feel that the temperature inside is much lower than outside."
As he said, he turned over in the pile of gold coins, ready to get up and pack the gold coins.
Then——
He finally saw Mammon standing still in the green light.
"..."
"???"
"!!!"
Dongba's face froze, and he stared at Mammon blankly.
Damn!
What a surprise! ! !
At the same time.
Outside the temple.
The human puppet controlled by the antenna accidentally caught the pure gold crown, and thus became Ryan's primary target.
But how could the knight let Ryan do what he wanted? While interfering with Ryan, he controlled the human puppet to rush into the armored man and the human head-holding statue that were gradually approaching.
In this way, the confrontation in the field became the knight against Ryan.
And Moyu and Menqi became the ones who sat on the mountain and watched the fight.
Position change!
Moyu looked at the knight and Ryan who had a conflict over the pure gold crown, and always felt that something was wrong...
But it must be said that this might be an opportunity.
