When the previous chapter was first updated, there was a large paragraph missing, and if you didn't see the paragraph with more than 4,000 words after one o'clock in the morning, then it means that you missed that paragraph, so you might as well go back and reread the previous chapter first.

About three hundred meters south of the wooden house where Phil lived, along the stone path, there was a small tavern, whose owner was a tall middle-aged man who looked somewhat like Captain Hook - one-eyed, with a black one-sided blindfold; A right hand was missing, so an iron hook was installed in the place where the severed hand was severed. And when Phil beckoned him to come out from behind the counter and go to the corner to talk in detail, everyone realized that his right leg was also broken at the knee, and he was carrying a wooden stick.
"Allenst, these are some of my new friends, and they're aliens like me." Phil got straight to the point, "They're great, and more importantly, they're reliable, and they've done a lot of great things." ”
The tavern keeper Allenst's cloudy one-eyed eye suddenly shone with a "forced" light, and his breathing became rapid. Adventure 19
"They're reliable!" Phil emphasized again, "Especially this Cheng Peng brother, he once single-handedly ran thousands of miles, attacked the army alone, and killed several famous generals, if you want to talk about raids and killings, few people can surpass him." Even if it is to beat the enemy family, unless the old man sets off in person, I am afraid that he will not be as good as him. ”
Allenst's gaze shifted to Cheng Peng, with an unconcealable ecstasy, and Cheng Peng was even a little uncomfortable.
"Wait a minute!" The crippled middle-aged man stood up, walked to the door of the tavern, poked his head out to look left and right, then closed the door, hung up a "temporarily closed" sign, and locked the door tightly with a heavy latch.
Then, a strong thought came to his whole body.
This crippled tavern owner turns out to be a gamer on the Island of Greed too!
"My name is Allenst, and I used to be a hunter." The boss, who seemed to be a few years younger, quickly came back and sat down, and introduced himself, "I once asked Phil to help me find reliable and capable players to kill some people for me." ”
Cheng Peng nodded, he roughly guessed the reason - this former hunter should have a grudge against some people, but he couldn't take revenge with his own ability, so he looked for someone who could help at the cost of Shui Liuli, one of the seven beauties.
"I won't say anything superfluous, Phil knows it." Allenst sighed and took out a blank piece of paper, "There is a top-secret storage room in the Hunters' Guild Headquarters, which is dedicated to keeping some confidential things for hunters above one star. The number of the safe and the 22-digit code needed to open the safe are written on the paper, and the handwriting can be revealed by simply swiping it with the camera to develop the "liquid". ”
Under the gaze of everyone, he tore the piece of paper into eight pieces of about the same size, and handed one of them to Cheng Peng.
"My enemies are the Phantom Brigade, after you kill them, peel off the spider tattoos on their backs and bring them to me, and for each tattoo you bring, I will give you a fragment."
Cheng Peng nodded and accepted the fragment.
"I'll bring you eight tattoos as soon as possible."
They then bid farewell to Ehrenst, who had become a normal tavernkeeper again, and left the tavern.
“…… Uncle Alan is a treasure hunter who is keen to find those rare and rare secret treasures, and has won the honor of a one-star hunter for his outstanding achievements, and he is also quite famous in the hunter industry. After returning to Phil's cabin, Phil, who changed into civilian clothes, began to introduce the ins and outs of the matter, "Five years ago, by chance, he obtained the water glass among the seven beauties, but he caused a big disaster because of this - the Phantom Brigade found him, grabbed him and tortured him, demanded that he hand over the water glass, and tortured and killed his whole family in front of him. Just as they were slowly killing him, a very powerful senior passed by and drove the brigade away. He lay in the hospital for half a year, and finally struggled back from death, but it was the way it is. ”
"Phantom Brigade ......" Wang Ji frowned, and said with some embarrassment, "They are not easy to deal with!" ”
Cheng Peng was not as worried as Wang Ji, the Phantom Brigade was originally the target he was going to arrest, but because he was lucky, he got the opportunity to directly enter the Island of Greed from Xisuo, so he didn't have to be so troublesome.
"It's unexpected...... After a round turn, it turned out to be back to the same place. He stood up with a smile and thanked Phil as he led the way to the recording point in the middle of the city, the island of greed.
"Hey! This task is troublesome! Walking on the way to the recording point, Wang Ji said worriedly, "There are thirteen members of the Phantom Brigade, each of them has the strength of an elite hunter - that's fine, what's more troublesome is that they have the support of the entire Meteor Street behind them, and there are also many admirers and supporters among the players...... I said Cheng Peng, this task is very difficult to complete! ”
"It's not as hard as you think." Cheng Peng replied indifferently, "I have joined forces with Wende, enough to kill anyone in the Phantom Brigade, all I have to worry about is that they may not be able to beat us and retaliate against other players - now with the matter of Erlenst as an opportunity, no matter how angry they are, they will only run towards us and Erlenst, so there is no need to worry......" Adventure 19
"Actually, we don't have to fight the brigade!" Wang Ji rolled his eyes and came up with a ghost idea, "Why don't we try to catch Erlenst and snatch the few pieces of paper left on him!" ”
Cheng Peng, who was sorting out the magic book, was stunned, and turned his head to look at Wang Ji with a smile on his face.
On Wang Ji's face, he saw a trace of embarrassment, but more of it was justified and proud.
Obviously, Wang Ji didn't think he was wrong, and for him, NPCs were objects that could be betrayed and betrayed at any time - even if they were players.
Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment, and sighed secretly in his heart - Wang Ji is not the same person as him after all.
"Erlenst is a veteran hunter after all, and maybe there is some life-saving trick to press the bottom of the box, so you better not take any chances." As he spoke, he took out his magic book and took out the ten limited cards and some more valuable antique cards inside, "It's a rare opportunity to go to the Island of Greed, why don't you have a good time!" ”
"Ten days after going offline, the cards in the magic book will disappear, so these are placed here for you, please take good care of them." He stuffed those precious cards into Wang Ji's hand, and patted Wang Ji on the shoulder with a smile, "Let's go see if we can get the Phantom Brigade first, and if it doesn't go well, I'll come to you for help and think of another way." ”
He showed the emotions in his heart very well, Wang Ji didn't see it at all, he completely believed his words, put away those cards with a smile, and promised with a mouth.
"No problem! I'm sure I'll take care of it for you! But you also have to come back sooner, in a few months the protagonist should be in this game, and there may be some benefits to be reaped by then! ”
Cheng Peng said goodbye to him with a smile, left the island of greed, and returned to Batra's mansion.
"You're a man, it's really not simple!" Wende sighed, "Obviously feeling uncomfortable, but still with a smile on his face, don't you feel very tired?" ”
"It's good for everyone to have a smile." Cheng Peng sighed lightly, in front of his old friend, he didn't have to pretend to be casual, "It's my fault...... His job is intelligence, not combat, and the elimination of the Phantom Brigade should not have been involved in the first place. ”
"So what are you going to do? Is it really up to the two of us to deal with the Phantom Brigade? Unfamiliar ...... I'm afraid it's going to be tricky! Winder asked, "And there are only two of us, but there are thirteen of us in the Phantom Brigade, and the difference in numbers is obvious!" ”
"I rely on my parents at home and my friends when I go out. In this case, you have to ask a friend for help. Cheng Peng laughed and started to pack his luggage, "I know a very powerful friend in the Sky Arena, and he has a lot of contacts here, let's go to him to discuss it first." ”
"Sky Arena? That's right! The Phaantom Brigade's Hisoka is there! Winder suddenly remembered the information he had seen in the comics, and cried out happily, but then he sighed again, "Hisoka doesn't have a spider tattoo at all, and it's useless to kill him!" ”
“…… The tattoos on my body are fake, and if you want to collect them, you'll have to find someone else. Hisoka grinned, "But fate is really interesting, I didn't think you would have to deal with the brigade after all." ”
"Well, that's probably fate. Do you have any good suggestions? ”
Hisoka raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you come to me?" He looked at Cheng Peng sitting in front of him, and then at Zhou Dong, Luo Gan and Wen De who were sitting not far away, and his face showed an innocent and curious smile, "I'm a member of the brigade." ”
"Intuitively, I don't think you have a sense of belonging to the Phantom Brigade, maybe you joined the Phantom Brigade just to get something." Cheng Peng's answer was of course a lie, his impression of Sisuo came from the original comics, and the plan of "discussing with Sisoka" was also proposed by Luo Gan, "So I thought, maybe we can work together - what I need is the tattoo on their back, I guess what you want is definitely not this." ”
Hisoka was silent for a moment and said, "I want you to help me get the brigade commander Kurolo?" A chance for a fair duel with Rusiru! ”
"What else? For example, the secret treasures collected by the Phantom Brigade. ”
"To be honest, I'm rich. The things that the brigade has robbed over the years may not add up to my net worth. So I don't want anything - I know there are a lot of you Inhumans who are willing to work for something that has hope, so you can use them as a reward to find some help. With that, Hisoka smiled and raised his glass, "How?" My conditions shouldn't be too difficult to do, right? Adventure 19
"Deal!" Cheng Peng also picked up the wine glass, touched Xisoo's glass lightly, and then toasted to each other.
A few minutes later, a post appeared on the forum and it quickly became one of the hot spots.
This post is very short, only twelve words in total.
"I'm Cheng Peng, and I'm going to wipe out the Phantom Brigade."
