Chapter 45: Promotion Ceremony: Ambusher
In a bush at the edge of the assessment area of the Flying Snake Swamp, Xue Hua, who had activated the skin of the psionic exoskeleton, was quietly lurking under the protection of the "camouflage shell".
He had just told the sisters the location of a guy who had snatched a lot of Flying Serpent's loot, who had been snatched six times in a row and was now at his most exhausted.
Anne and Funia had already rushed over to the target location indicated by Xue Hua, and with the strength of the two of them, with their mental calculations or unintentional, the "praying mantis" that was targeted by the "Yellow Sparrow" probably wouldn't even have time to destroy the loot.
However, Xue Hua didn't care about this now, he had been monitoring the two ambushers with the Surveillance King Worm, and found that after Anne and Funia left, the two slowly walked out of their hiding place, and cautiously leaned towards the hiding place chosen by the sisters.
"These two yellow-haired girls are quite good at choosing places......" Cui Ji said in a hoarse voice with a "poison gun" with a half-dead wood mask on his face.
"I'm also a student of the Storm Queen, so I don't have any ability, isn't it blind to such good teaching conditions?" Another guy with a shorter stature and oil paint on his face chimed in.
"Hey......" Cui Ji sneered, but did not continue to speak.
The reason why she agreed to do this dangerous "dirty work" for the queen of the tribe was that in addition to wanting to show her face in front of the queen and brush up her sense of existence, she also had her own intentions.
Cui Ji is also a mercenary himself, and he is also a mercenary with considerable strength.
So she's been to promotion ceremonies before — and many times.
However, due to some unknown reason, she has never been able to obtain the important detective skill of "inner vision", and her personality is withdrawn and obedient, and no one wants to cooperate with her, so she has not been able to successfully pass the three challenges.
Now, because of the task given to her by the queen this time, she was assigned to a mercenary teammate with strong reconnaissance ability, so she also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to simply pass the promotion ceremony assessment and successfully join the ranks of professionals.
Her queen had also promised her that as long as she could successfully complete this mission, she would pass this test in the name of those two unlucky bastards.
Therefore, this mission is also quite crucial for her, after all, there is no mercenary who does not want to advance to become a real professional.
Therefore, she took this mission very seriously, and was even willing to temporarily suppress her difficult personality for this reason.
While thinking about the promotion ceremony, Cui Ji and his teammates quietly approached the hiding place chosen by the sisters.
Anne and Funia were clearly very conscious of their hiding place, and they had set up a number of small traps around them.
These traps are not lethal, but once triggered, they can never be restored.
This way, when the sisters return from hunting, they can see if someone has broken into their hiding area through the state of the trap.
However, such a trap had little effect on the two seasoned high-level mercenaries, who easily bypassed all the trap setting points and made their way to the hollow of the Ghost Claw Tree.
"Well, it's a bit of a skill, it seems that the queen of the Xiange tribe taught them well." Triggie climbed up to the treetops and looked at the branches and dead grass covering the hole in the tree-hole - these things covered the tree-hole in such a natural form that no one could see that there was a natural tree hole unless they climbed up and looked closely.
"Would you like to leave them some souvenirs?" The other mercenary asked.
"No need, just scout it, we can't risk startling the snake, those two yellow-haired girls still have some ability."
Trigi shook her head, she had seen the first trial of this promotion ceremony, and she was very impressed by the powerful ice moon that Funia shot at that time.
She paid for herself, and even with her own ability, she couldn't resist such a blow in a head-to-head confrontation, so in order to avoid complications to the task, she was willing to wait a little longer, preferably when both targets were tired.
"Look at the position of the two of them, but don't let them pass this challenge directly."
"Don't worry, my lord, I've been staring at it!" The other mercenary had a faint blue glint in his eyes, and his vision seemed to be able to pass through the void and see the Ghost Claw Forest thousands of meters away.
Her name is Lindsay, and she is also a high-level mercenary, but her combat power has always been the lowest among mercenaries of the same level, because the mercenary skill she obtained at the inauguration ceremony is only one "inner vision" skill.
Although this skill was already mutated when it was obtained, she didn't have a lethal bow and arrow skill, and even if she looked far, she couldn't go head-to-head with her opponent.
However, the mutation of her inner vision skill is also very unique, this skill has become a passive existence in her, and compared to the inner vision skill of ordinary mercenaries or even Amazon professionals, her skill can see farther and more accurately.
In other words, the ability to detect has become Lindsay's instinct, and basically no one can escape from her eyes.
"Very well, we're almost scouting here, let's go over there and have a look."
Triggie nodded, then looked in the direction of the east side of the hideout, where Lindsey had just told her that the twin sisters had just taken out a snatcher and taken over each other's entire "inheritance".
Just as the two set off to track the sisters, they didn't know that their every move had been clearly seen by a pair of heavenly eyes.
Xue Hua still hid in the bushes at the edge of the assessment area with the stealth ability of the camouflage shell, and analyzed the every move of the two of them with the help of the field of vision of the monitoring king insect and the monitoring of the node king worm.
Delivering information to the assessment area is a very expensive thing, and even if he has the entire swarm as a backing, he must rest for seven or eight minutes after each delivery.
Therefore, he had to try to collect enough information each time and send it to the sisters together.
And the conversation between Lindsey and Triggie just now made him seem to see a solution to this crisis.
"Trigi has been sending her companions on reconnaissance missions, and the intel Sarah gave me doesn't mention that this person has inward sight skills... Could it be that she doesn't know how to look inside at all, so she needs a teammate with strong detection ability? ”
Xue Hua thought like this.
"We have to find a way to separate these two, so that no matter how strong Cui Ji is, he will be just a blind man running around in this vast swamp......"
Thinking of this, he immediately began to convey his thoughts to the sisters in the assessment area through the flow of psionic energy, and asked them to temporarily stop hunting activities and find another hiding place nearby to hide first.
Although Cui Ji's teammate is not low-level, he doesn't seem to have much combat power.
Maybe you can use her as a flaw first......
