Chapter Forty-Nine: Promotion Ceremony: Joining Forces to Stop the Enemy
In a ghost claw forest in the northern part of the Flying Serpent Swamp, Triggie was clutching a javelin, leaping swiftly over the branches of the trees.
She doesn't know the inner vision skills, so she can't track the target by vision alone, but she hasn't been in the punisher legion for so long, and the trace tracking techniques in the legion that have been specially developed to play an alternative effect in situations where they are not suitable for tracking with the inner vision skill have been mastered by her to the expert level.
While this tracking technique is nowhere near as intuitive as the inward sight skill, it is sufficient to be used in situations where the opponent is unaware that they are being tracked and therefore does not deliberately cover up their tracks.
It was with this tracking technique that Trigi was able to catch up from behind, until now the marks left on the trunk told her that she was not far from her goal.
"It's still too tender! Even the Queen's student ......"
She threw away a severed branch in her hand and looked up at the front, a cruel smile on her lips.
The cut in the dead branch was new, and it was expected to take no more than five minutes to break it, and with the speed of her movements, it would take less than three minutes to intercept the escaped sparrow.
Trigi stuck out his red tongue and licked the right half of his lip that was not covered by the mask, and then lifted the javelin beside him, ready to quickly catch up.
At this moment, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly came from the direction behind her.
Cui Ji was suddenly startled, and quickly looked back, only to see a white-gold pillar of fire rising from the ghost claw forest not far away.
The blasts and heat waves from the pillars of fire scorched the surrounding swamps, and the surrounding Devilclaw woods were drained and burned by the hot winds.
This sudden scene made Cui Ji's heart instantly cold, and she could easily determine by the distance that the location of the pillar of fire was the location of Linsay and the "younger sister of twin sisters".
Fooled!
It's a trap!
Damn it! How the hell did they find out about our existence?!
Also, how did the two of them judge that Lindsey was the first target?
Is it just because of the rank?
Cui Ji gritted his teeth fiercely, and a hideous expression appeared on the right half of his face.
"Hold me up, bastard! You must not shout abstention! ”
She kicked the branch under her feet, and her whole body rushed in the direction she had come from like an arrow from a string, and she kept praying in her heart that her fellow waste would hold out until she arrived.
No matter how you say it, it's level 65 vs. level 44!
The gap between level 21 shouldn't be so easy to be smoothed out, right?!
Cui Ji comforted himself like this, but his feet sped up a lot again.
However, she had only just run less than a hundred meters away when an icy chill suddenly hit her from the right side, and this chill carried a deadly sense of threat, forcing her to retreat and dodge urgently.
Bang!!
A sharp ice moon easily sliced through the ghost claw tree that Cui Ji had just stood on, blasting into the silt-covered surface of the swamp and exploding a large field of glittering ice flowers!
A light figure leaped out from the side and stood quietly on a ghost claw tree directly opposite Cui Ji.
"The road ahead is blocked so I can't pass for the time being~" Funya said to her with a grin.
"Hmph... Hehe... Hahaha! Cui Ji looked at the girl who appeared in front of him and was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly violently covered the half of the dead wood mask on the left side of his face and laughed wildly.
"There is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to vote for! Little girl, if you are bent on continuing to run, I may really have nothing to do with you, but you are so bold that you dare to appear in front of me by yourself, then it is no wonder that I am not surprised! ”
"yes, I've appeared in front of you myself, and it's not just me... There are other people who are here too! ”
Funia smiled sweetly, but the words that came out of her mouth made Trigi stunned.
"What?"
"Sister Erin~ No need to hide, come out!"
With the girl's crisp voice, five other mercenaries emerged from behind the trunks of the surrounding ghost claw trees.
These mercenaries who suddenly appeared were the same team from the String Song Tribal Training Ground who had previously unleashed kindness on the sisters after the first challenge.
Their leader, Irene, tried to invite the sisters to join her team, but Anne refused.
However, although the invitation was unsuccessful, the relationship between the sisters and Erin's team was not bad, so this time when Funia was making a plan, she had already learned the location of Erin's team through Xue Hua in advance.
Then, taking advantage of the time difference between the first step, she managed to find the hiding place of Erin's team, and invited them to help her stop the enemy at the cost of a total of 99 flying snake loot on the sisters' body.
Erin agreed without much hesitation after listening to Funia's blocking plan and the target's information.
Although the opponent is a level 70 6-skill javelin mercenary, it is indeed a bit worrying, but their team is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.
What's more, the opponent doesn't have reconnaissance skills, so even if something is wrong at that time, it will still be easy to disperse and escape.
In addition, the sincerity of 99 flying snake loot is indeed very strong, even if it is distributed to everyone in the team, each person can get 20, so that plus their previous hunting, basically each person can keep 50 loot.
There's still a full day left tomorrow, and with just the remaining half, their team will be able to advance to the third challenge like never before!
And Erin also has one of the most critical considerations, that is, the presence of Cui Ji and Lindse will also pose a big threat to them, if they can't eliminate one of them first, once they transfer the target to their own team, then I am afraid they will also be very unbearable.
So it's better to take this opportunity to get rid of this threat first, as long as you kill the guy with excellent detection ability, Cui Ji, who has weak detection ability, is simply a blind mouse in the vast Flying Snake Swamp.
It was because of the combination of these reasons that Erin quickly accepted Funia's invitation and took all the team members to help the little girl set up this ambush circle together.
The "traces" that were found by Triggie before were actually forged by a tracking master in Erin's team, and the six people including Funia and Erin had already gone around behind Triggie, waiting for Anne on the other side to fire first!
Because of her eagerness, Cui Ji turned her head and rushed into the trap, and her weakness of not being able to detect was undoubtedly evident at this moment.
"You damn ....." Cui Ji, who was besieged in the middle, held the javelin in his hand tightly, and the expression on his face was full of vicious hatred.
The average level of Erin's team is around level 45, and Erin herself has reached the height of level 48, plus a Funia who can't be measured by common sense, it is difficult for such a lineup to defeat her, but it is very easy to trap her for a while.
Bang!!
Another pillar of fire shot up from the direction where Lindsay was, and this time the explosion was closer to Trigi's current location.
Obviously, under the blow of Annie's super destructive skill, Lindsey could no longer support it and began to flee in embarrassment.
This situation made Cui Ji suddenly become more anxious.
Losing Lindsey would have lost her eyes, meaning she would not be able to complete the task given by Her Majesty in the second challenge.
Even since there is only one day left for the second challenge, it is still unknown whether she will be able to pass the second challenge without her reconnaissance ability!
Cui Ji, who was in a hurry, was completely furious, and a dark purple poisonous cloud suddenly rose from her body.
The cloud of poison completely covered her body, and the sound of snake scales scraping against the trunk of a tree was heard.
"This is the ...... you forced me"
