Rather than saying that Baroque and Tattoo are participants, it is better to say that the two are more like a pair of brutal killers or ruthless hunters.
They entered the "Peach Blossom Land" earlier than Ice Grain, but the speed of increasing difficulty was much slower.
At each stage of difficulty, they will spend at least half a year joining different teams of participants, observing the abilities of their companions, and taking action at the right time, allowing Baroque to seize the abilities they think are useful or powerful.
It's just that the two are very clear that once the ability is exposed, even if it only arouses the suspicion of a certain participant, not only will it be difficult for Baroque to steal the ability in the future, but they will also become the target of public criticism and cause death.
So once Baroque steals a certain ability, the two will try their best to wipe out any participant who knows the ability of the original owner. Therefore, when the "world" ends, the team that walks with them often has no survivors. There are no more.
However, the death rate of "Peach Blossom Spring" is already astonishingly high, and the participants are used to fighting in small groups. The phenomenon of grouping has always been very serious, and there are not many external contacts. Ability, no matter how many companions were killed, there was no news of it spreading.
The two lived a hunting life hidden in the dark for more than two years.
Until Ice Grain pulled Qinxuehui with one hand.
Baroque and Tattoos were randomly assigned to the same "world" as Ice Grain, who had just been promoted to S-level difficulty, by chance.
Although it is the first time to challenge the S-level difficulty, Bingshang's ability is obviously much stronger than others, and the team led by him from the rookie, the tacit cooperation and the strength of the combat power are far better than Baroque and Baroque. The kind of loose temporary small team that Tattoo used to use in one pot is a hundred times more powerful.
Although the two of them are envious of Binglao's ice ability, they are also very clear that the risk of rashly setting up a game to snatch it is too high, and they may overturn in a matter of minutes.
So Baroque and Tattoo chose to go dormant.
Tattoo "lend" his ability to Baroque, and he used the S-level collectible tattoo net as an ability.
The participants in "Peach Blossom Spring" can only inspire one kind of ability—at least in everyone's perception, that's right, so even if they are as powerful as ice scorpion, there is no doubt that their ability is tricky.
Baroque himself is smart and sensible enough, and after hiding his ruthless side well, he can be a pretty good management talent.
So after that "world", they made use of Bingxie's contacts, obeyed the invitation to enter the Qinxue Club, put on an elite disguise, and conscientiously managed the image of a small team leader.
Since joining the Qinxue Society, the two of them seemed to have really turned their backs on the dark and turned to the bright, and they almost never tried to steal other people's abilities.
However, they soon discovered that their combat power had reached a bottleneck.
The abilities of the participants must be improved in actual combat.
But the baroque air bomb is "stolen", and its strength is determined the moment you get it, while the tattoo net itself is just a weapon and will not change in any way.
Obviously, whether it is baroque or tattoo, they are not willing to be just a little brother, and the character of living a month is a month.
The reason why the two are willing to stay in Qinxuehui is just to wait for a chance to "become stronger".
Their goal, from beginning to end, was only Bingxiang.
After all, the leader of the Qinxue Society is currently recognized as the strongest in "Peach Blossom Spring", if his ability is stolen, the name of this "strongest" will change hands in an instant.
It's just not easy to find an appropriate time to start.
Binglang is a suspicious person, and Zero always follows him every step of the way. In addition, the team is full of members who cooperate with each other and know the basics. Baroque and Tattoo have been waiting month after month, and a full half a year has passed. They have never been able to find the target's flaws.
——Until this time, the time and place were right, and they waited for the opportunity.
When the pain that almost seemed to cut his chest in half struck, Binglu knew that he had been tricked.
His power disappeared, but ice crystals appeared in Baroque's palm.
Ice Grail didn't know how Baroque did it.
But he is a senior participant in "Peach Blossom Spring" after all, and the key point is that he can guess the truth even without asking.
The white-haired youth didn't ask them why they betrayed themselves in horror and disbelief like a loser.
Because there is no point in doing so.
Instead, he clutched his chest, bowed slightly, and maintained a posture as if trying to endure the pain.
"Hahaha, how are you feeling now?"
The ice and snow ability that he had coveted for hundreds of days and nights was finally obtained, and Baroque was still immersed in ecstasy.
"President Bing, President of the General Assembly, the strongest participant in 'Peach Blossom Spring'! How majestic, isn't it?"
With one wave of his hand, a gust of cold air shot out, hitting a piece of ice crystal at Binglang's feet.
"How powerful you were in the past, I am the same now!"
The white-haired young man clutched his chest, flinched a bit, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.
Having pretended to be his grandson for more than half a year, all Baroque is thinking about is this opportunity to show off:
"Now, times have changed! It's time for you to kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Ice Grail remained motionless.
Baroque took a few steps forward and kicked Bingxiang's knee.
"Come on! Get down on your knees! Beg me to spare your life!"
His kick missed.
Because at this moment, the ice shard moved.
The white-haired young man jumped out suddenly, but he didn't want to run away. Instead, he rushed towards the tattoo in front of him like a shell that left the string.
His transition from static to rotating was so fast that it was difficult for Baroque and tattoos to return to his senses for a while.
Baroque has already "borrowed" the power from the tattoo countless times, and has also observed the reactions of no less than twenty participants whose abilities have been taken away by him.
Regardless of whether it is the personal description of the tattoo or the appearance of the prey after being recruited, it clearly tells Baroque that after being stolen by the "nameless thief", within a few minutes, the victim will feel a kind of Indescribably severe pain—the pain was so painful that it was very difficult to even stand, let alone move.
However, this time, Binglu actually held back the heart-piercing pain, and launched an attack when the two were unprepared.
Hastily, Baroque raised his hand and threw out an ice blade.
But even though he took the ability of Ice Grain, he couldn't copy the other party's experience of controlling ice. The sharp blade of ice flew past Ice Grain's clothes, leaving only a scar on his waist. scratches.
At the same time, the tattoo also defended reflexively.
A compressed air bullet the size of a basketball shot out from his palm, and hit Binglang's face.
In a very short distance, the tattoo only saw the shadow of Binglu flickering, and the whole person seemed to disappear for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, he felt suffocated, as if there was something cold in his chest.
The ice sleet swayed past the tattoo, but the footsteps did not stop at all.
He didn't look back, but rushed straight towards the torii gate.
"Oops!"
Baroque cried out.
He suddenly understood what the ice sleet wanted to do, and quickly imitated the way he had seen the president of the ice manipulating the ice countless times, condensed a large group of ice crystals, and shot towards the ice sleet.
At the same time, he turned his head to look at the tattoo, and opened his mouth to urge his lover to help.
But what Baroque saw was the scene where the tattoo suddenly fell to the ground.
There was a touch of bright red blood on the right side of the tattoo, and the blood was still fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye, staining half of the body red in the blink of an eye.
Just two seconds ago, the moment the ice shard brushed past the tattoo, he pulled out the saber from his waist, accurately pierced obliquely from the right rib of the tattoo, and pierced his liver with one knife.
"Damn! Damn!!"
Baroque's eyes were tearing apart, and he rushed towards his lover.
However, at this time, the ice sleet had already run under the torii gate, and he was about to pull out one of the small jade stakes.
"stop!!"
At this moment, Baroque heard the rumble of blood hitting the eardrum.
His eyes were bloodshot, his eyeballs popped out, and he was going crazy with anger.
—I have clearly obtained the most recognized ability!
They are now on a small island in the center of a lake surrounded by lava with an area of less than 30 square meters. To deal with the disabled ice hail should be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar!
But Binglang not only seriously injured his boyfriend, but also wanted to destroy the exit mechanism!
Baroque let out a roar and stretched his hands forward. The cold wind mixed with countless sharp ice shards rushed towards the white-haired youth under the torii with overwhelming momentum...
...
…
At the other end of the maze, Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo stared at a nearby clock at the same time.
They saw that the hands on the dial were jumping forward second by second.
"Ice Grain is dead."
When the hour and minute hands stopped, Ji Xiaoniao frowned and said in a low voice.
When the two came here, there were only seventeen minutes left.
Then, when they saw that the "two" on the clock disappeared and the remaining time became thirty-four minutes, they knew that the tattoo must be dead.
But this is not over. Three minutes later, the number "Wu" representing ice and hail was also erased from the dial by an invisible hand. The minute hand rotated rapidly, and for the first time drove the hour hand forward one grid, and finally stopped. In the position of "one hour and two minutes".
"It seems that Bingsha and the others should be in trouble."
With a solemn expression, Ji Thrush raised his head and said to Ren Jianmo, "Now, there are only three people left in this maze."
...
…
On the island in the center of the lake in the lava pool, Baroque kicked the body of Ice Grain with the back of his foot. After confirming that he was indeed no longer moving, he bent down, untied the skin bag that could only provide unlimited water from the opponent's belt, and put It's pinned to his waist.
"Damn it!"
He resentfully kicked the corpse hard, then opened Binglao's curled fingers, and dug out the small jade pile that was accumulated in his palm.
—too careless! What a loss!
Thinking resentfully, Baroque reinserted the small jade stakes onto the torii pillars.
The mechanism is turned on again.
Baroque left behind the tattooed and ice-grain corpses, condensed an ice plate on the miniature UFO, manipulated the aircraft, and flew in the direction of the exit without looking back.
