William took a quick glance and saw that most of the hunters sitting inside and outside the tents making preparations for exploration were open source, with most of them having an epidemic value of 1 to 2, and there were even patients who had not reached the open source level mixed in with them.
Just like Thirteen said just now, if this group of people want to take a chance, they might be able to turn a bicycle into a yacht.
In William's opinion, it would be better to go to the Duke for such a gamble. Even if he loses the bet, he can still pay off his debt by taking the seat. Once he loses here, he will lose everything and may even fall into a situation more painful than death.
Moreover, after looking left and right, he couldn't find even one person who had completed the path among the hundreds of people.
Judging from the looks of these people, most of them are desperate criminals. Their target is only the Dark Land and they don't even consider the Abyss.
When William and his group appeared, the nearest hunter was startled by the sudden powerful aura. When he saw Price's silver-armored body, he was so scared that he took his tent and retreated.
One of them noticed Jin's attire and couldn't help but shout, "Respected... Respected Knight of Tumor!"
Such a call attracted the attention of many people around, and the road blocking the team was automatically widened.
However, William, who had a unique vision, Jin, who had physical perception, and Price, who had a keen sense of smell, detected a trace amount of the abyss in this group of people.
They have been affected without realizing it, but they don't seem to notice it.
What is certain is that once this group of people enter the "Dark Land", the influence will inevitably intensify, and they may even become slaves of the abyss and attack any outsiders.
Price said softly, "Should we kill them all? These people may become obstacles to our subsequent exploration."
William patted the top of Price's tail gently and said, "There's no need to be so angry. We are going to the abyss, and these people are just wandering around the edge at most.
Even if we do encounter them, it won't be difficult to resolve. We might even be able to use them as a medium to locate the abyss more quickly."
"OK."
When everyone gradually approached the curtain, a few desperadoes with dark circles under their eyes ran over to block their way, licking their faces and wanting to join the team.
"Go away, I'll only say this once!"
After William said this, half of the people left decisively. But some people still stayed, trying to impress the group of people in front of them with their "persistence".
The city lord, Price, was already getting a little impatient, and was ready to kill all the guys who were blocking his way.
As soon as his tail was raised, a red figure suddenly flashed past him.
In the blink of an eye, the four desperadoes who were blocking the road had been "compressed" into a ball of flesh, with fractures all over their bodies, and their mouths were stuffed somewhere, making them unable to make any sound.
Jin held the four-man folded meat ball in one hand, and then threw it with all his strength.
Bang! An explosion occurred during the casting process.
But what exploded was not the meat ball, but Jin's arm.
Jin detonated his arm and used the power of the throw to multiply the force. The huge force directly threw the meat ball into the depths of the clouds.
"It's really annoying. A weak person should behave like a weak person. Why do you have to come and lick me?"
Then, Jin slightly pulled back the knight's mask to reveal her pink lips, and turned to explain to the team: "I didn't inject bombs into their bodies or transform them into bombs. I just threw them. They shouldn't die."
Jin's performance also made Price slightly stunned.
When he was a Knight of the Tumor, he had met members of the Knights Temperance once, but he had never seen this special ability that could detonate cancer cells.
Moreover, Jin's regenerative ability was also quite amazing. The arm that exploded and shattered during the throw actually regenerated before the blood mist dissipated.
The broken arms that fell to the ground turned into a mass of living cancer cells and crawled into Jin's body, achieving the optimal utilization of the cancer.
Price didn't expect that William's teammate would be so interesting. He tried to open his eyes to peek at King's back, wanting to see the young man's "back wings".
Whoosh~ Jin turned around quickly and put his hands behind his back.
"Don't look at anything inappropriate, Lord Price!
I am only willing to work with you for William's sake. I have never thought of saving you. I just want to use you as a training ground. It would be even better if I could kill you.
Your body can definitely be made into an excellent weapon."
Price was not angry at all, but responded calmly: "You are indeed very talented, but you are not my opponent yet.
Save some energy. As a Knight of the Tumor, you should learn to look at the overall situation. The place you are going to is very dangerous. "
In the past, Jin would have slapped him after hearing these words. But now he just smiled strangely under his helmet, and even had little red flowers blooming between his teeth.
"Are you so sure that I am no match for you? How about this, if everyone can make it out alive, let's have another fight? I have always wanted to see what level the Tumor Knights of the ancient times were at."
"OK."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, William led Thirteen to the middle of the two people and interrupted the conversation.
"Thirteen, light the fire."
"Yes, teacher!"
Ka~ Thirteen's cranial cavity was filled with the sound of gears creaking, and an opening slowly opened on the top of his head, and a candle covered with brain grooves slowly rose up.
Even if the candle is not yet lit,
The treasure hunters dozens of meters away instinctively retreated or hid in the light-blocking tents because of the little bit of abyss in their bodies.
The moment the fire was lit,
Except for the area blocked by the black curtain, the surrounding area within a kilometer was illuminated, and William and others who were at the center of the light were even blinded by the light and could not open their eyes.
Even though Jin was wearing a helmet, light still seeped in through the breathing holes at the bottom of the mask.
Jin felt the endless power and whispered, "This girl is quite capable... This level of light cannot be emitted by ordinary materials. Is it her own power?"
William also needs to turn on the grayscale vision to filter out such strong light.
"Thirteen, is the lighting intensity so high?"
"Teacher, wait a moment... I haven't been able to compress the light yet. However, this continuous light energy output must be this high, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve effective lighting in the extremely dark place."
As Thirteen made adjustments, the main lighting range was eventually narrowed to five meters, just enough to cover the team.
William also communicated with the little grape in his body at the same time, "Can your eyes reach this lighting intensity?"
"cannot."
"Thirteen's candles are blessed by the evil sun oil, while your eyes are cursed by the evil sun firewood. Are you weaker in comparison?"
This made Little Grape suddenly impatient, "Bah! The functions are completely different, okay? My eyes are used to see things, and the candle puppets are just used for lighting. Have you heard of specialization
Moreover, Xieyang Grease and firewood are two completely different things.
The former is when the Evil Sun had not yet fallen and was hanging high in the old sky, the Evil Sun's body would drop oil every once in a while. After all, the old world has existed for so many years, and a lot of oil must have been produced.
But firewood is different. The fragments formed after the fall of Xie Yang eventually turned into firewood. It is a part of Xie Yang and cannot be compared with oil at all.
Besides, the lighting intensity is not just the effect of the oil, this candle also contains the technology of the Chamber of Commerce and Thirteen's own ability, right?"
"Okay~ Don't worry, I didn't say you can't do it. Let Thirteen provide the lighting for the exploration ahead, and you just take a rest, Little Grape.
When we find the abyss, we will leave everything to you."
Little Grape immediately understood the problem with this sentence, "Wait, you don't want to jump into the abyss alone, do you?"
"What else? It's already great that they can accompany me to the darkest place. I'm the only one who needs the abyss."
"At least let Thirteen come with us. Her candle is very important. I can't handle it alone."
"It depends on the situation at that time."
The simple communication ended here, and at William's signal, everyone formed a circle and surrounded Thirteen.
Clang~
Suddenly, a barbed chain shot out from William's wrist and wrapped around Kim and Price's arms, with needles piercing into them.
The "pain connection" keeps the three people connected and maintains the circle.
The sudden pain almost made the two of them scream. Price also stared at the chain on his wrist with wide eyes, "William, why do you still have the monastery's chain?"
“It’s stolen, I guess… Well, pain can keep us awake and absolutely connected at all times, let’s go!”
With the sound of shaking iron chains, the team passed through the black curtain and officially stepped into the dark land.
