Chapter 327 Zhou An Speeds Up
In the mist-filled space, the eyes of all the figures were focused on this silent figure.
There was an unexplainable meaning in his sight.
Even some ordinary figures in the Heaven Realm, at this moment, there is a sense of gloating hidden in the depths of their sight.
After about half an hour, the figure being watched made a sharp sound, like fingernails scraping against the wall, which made people's eardrums hurt.
"If I die, then I am dead. After surviving for so long, do you think it is possible for you to let me be the first to go out and be cannon fodder?"
After the figure said these words, he did not continue.
But the meaning is very obvious, that is, unwillingness.
After hearing this, the tallest figure didn't think anything and said directly: "There are risks, but there are benefits. Those who go out first have the upper hand, but those who go out later have to be safe." , but it all depends on what you think.”
"If you don't want to go out, then I can find someone else. If no one is willing to go out, then I will go out by myself."
"I just think you're good at hiding, so it's safer."
At this point, what should be said and what should not be said have been clearly stated.
The tallest figure felt that there was no need to continue talking.
The subsequent decision depends on what the other party thinks.
Soon, this foggy space fell into absolute silence, and everyone was waiting for a reply.
In fact, many people in the War of One Hundred Kingdoms know that it is quite difficult to make a choice, especially in this situation.
Not to mention anything else, just the choice between life and death can scare many people away.
So they are waiting too.
After about half a stick of incense, the figure continued to make a sharp sound.
"Okay, I'll go. If I can escape, I will definitely try my best to find your location and rescue you."
With this answer, many figures in the mist finally let out a sigh of relief, as if they were completely relaxed.
After a while, the fog was gradually dissipating.
And the figure who had just agreed gradually revealed his true form in the mist.
This is a man who is only about 1.5 meters tall. He is wearing a black robe and has no flesh on his face.
A long beard that reaches down to his chest.
Judging from the appearance, it looks like a human-shaped mouse, showing the cunningness of a mouse.
But no one here dared to look down upon him, because of his origins.
In the War of One Hundred Kingdoms, among the fifteen peak masters who have ascended to the sky, the short, mouse-like man in front of them is the most difficult to deal with.
Because his nickname is Assassination Star.
The so-called assassination star is one who is proficient in concealment and assassination.
Maybe he wasn't good at frontal combat, but once he got his attention, even the masters of the same level would find it quite a headache.
It is precisely because of this ability that he was arranged to be the first to go out.
Assassination Star looked around and said nothing. After making a decision, he patiently waited for the next fishhook to come.
Soon, this foggy space was once again obscured by thick fog, making it difficult to see the real situation inside.
…
Zhou An naturally didn't know what was going on here.
Because at this moment Zhou An is immersed in the state of liver proficiency.
He doesn't care about anything now, just focusing on the Xuanying Kill skill.
The black jade next to it is also integrating eight unique skills.
The proficiency of Xuan Ying Kill is rising steadily.
Zhou An's current plan is actually very simple, which is to first kill Xuan Ying until it transforms into a qualitative change, and then use the stored proficiency to improve other skills, and maybe try to develop new skills.
As for the development of new skills, to be honest, Zhou An has no idea yet, so it can only be determined.
One night passed quickly.
When the next day came, Zhou An got up early as usual, and then took Black Jade to where Eunuch Wei and the others were.
When it comes to fishing, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Zhou An also thought that after fishing out one or two of those remnants of the Hundred Kingdoms War, he would go back to improving his proficiency. This is what he should do.
Along the way, Zhou An was familiar with the roads and saw the surrounding scenery.
Nowadays, after a lot of reconstruction work, this land that has been divided into the Great Chu Kingdom has already become prosperous.
For the common people, they don't care who becomes the emperor these days, as long as they can live a good life without any huge disturbances.
Even if a child sits on the throne, they will do it casually.
Especially now, Da Chu and Dayue are still very good to the people, so these survivors of Da Qi are more supportive of the changes in the two countries.
On the way, Zhou An had a meal on the roadside, and then successfully arrived at the residence of Eunuch Wei and others.
It was like this every day, so when Zhou An arrived, Eunuch Wei and others, as well as the King of Far West of Dayue and others, had already been waiting here for a long time.
After all, they were going to deal with the remnants of the Hundred Kingdoms War, and they were hooked out with fishhooks and could not even be killed, so everyone maintained a cautious attitude.
When Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An coming, he first poured a cup of tea and greeted Zhou An: "Sit down, let's start again after you finish drinking."
Zhou An was a familiar person, so he sat next to him and took a light sip.
The current scene may be like a dream to many people in the world.
Because a bunch of big guys gathered in a circle to drink tea here, a sight that many people would never dare to imagine.
Only Zhou An was very relaxed and content.
While drinking tea, Zhou An still asked a few questions.
"Eunuch Wei, do you have any news about the matter I asked you to investigate before?"
Everyone knows what they are investigating, it is the bunch of guys from other worlds that they met before.
Zhou An is indeed the most interested in this news. After all, the last time he was in the underwater cave, he had already offended the other party.
Since everyone has been offended and they are enemies, Zhou An certainly doesn't mind collecting intelligence to deal with it.
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei shook his head: "We haven't found any information yet."
He didn't care about the people from Dai Viet either.
Nowadays, the two countries are not as opposed to each other as imagined. Instead, because of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Hundred Kingdoms War and this recent incident, they have become like grasshoppers standing on the same rope.
Therefore, they also share the necessary information.
The King of Far West smacked his mouth beside him, as if he felt that the tea was not to his liking, so he put it aside: "I think this matter should be investigated slowly, and the nearest things should be resolved first."
Zhou An nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Those things in other worlds are probably still some distance away. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the remnants of the Barbarian Kingdom and the War of One Hundred Kingdoms.
Otherwise, people from outside will come and civil war is still going on here, and that will be the biggest headache.
After drinking a cup of tea, Zhou An did not pause. He had to hurry up, so he took out the fishing rod and fishing line from the pink money bag.
He never fished without bait, so he casually threw the rod, and the fishhook held the fishing line, and then entered the crack in front of him.
Seeing this situation, everyone held their breath and waited patiently.
Although everyone looks calm, they are actually very cautious.
After all, this is no small matter.
Zhou An is the calmest one.
He held the fishing rod tightly with both hands, like an experienced fisherman, waiting patiently.
Time passed gradually, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a stick of incense passed.
Zhou An suddenly felt the fishhook shaking.
The amplitude of the shaking extends along the fishing line all the way to the fishing rod, and there is a terrifying aura on it.
Recently, Zhou An has been fishing a lot, and he has gradually gained insights.
He knew that the more severe the shaking, the more terrifying the fish was.
"The current situation is more severe than in the past combined. It seems to be a big deal."
Thinking of this, Zhou An turned his head, looked at Eunuch Wei, and winked.
"Eunuch Wei, this is a big fish, very big."
Without too much explanation, everyone present understood it with just this sentence.
Recently, all those caught are ordinary masters of the Heaven Realm.
Now there is a particularly big fish. How big it is only remains at the level of the Peak Climbing Realm.
To be honest, after fishing for so long, I have never caught something of this level. Now that I caught it suddenly, the people present were still a little excited.
It is said that masters are lonely, but at their level, they rarely take action.
You can't just run over and find someone to hand over once or twice every day when you have nothing to do. This will not only offend people, but also easily be regarded as a lunatic.
So having this opportunity, and even being able to take action by the way, is very worthwhile for people like them.
"Get ready." Eunuch Wei waved his hand.
Everyone nodded, and then stood aside with a wary look on their faces, waiting patiently.
The amplitude of the fishing rod's shaking gradually deepened.
After a moment, a short man emerged from the crack, holding the fishhook tightly in his hand.
This way, it seems that the fishhook didn't catch him, but that he wanted to come out.
Assassination Star was completely stunned.
To be honest, he has experienced too much from his rise in the Hundred Kingdoms War to the present time.
He has witnessed the rise of many geniuses and the fall of many geniuses. He has even used his own assassination techniques to kill many masters.
Some masters are even stronger than him.
But he really didn't expect that what was waiting for him outside the crack was the scene in front of him.
Assassination Star had already thought at that time that if there were two or three people of the same level, he would immediately use his own ability to escape.
He was very relieved about this.
After all, even in their time, it was extremely rare to be proficient in assassination.
But he never expected that there were not just two outside, but a large number of people in the peak ascension realm.
Especially when he came out, the other person's eyes seemed to want to skin him alive.
It only took a moment for Assassination Star to realize that he had been tricked, and it was a huge trap.
Of course, the situation was critical at this moment, and he had no time to make a detailed plan. His figure shook for a while, and then disappeared into the air as if he had never appeared before.
run!
Now we can only run, without any possibility or chance of victory.
The people on the other side were not only numerous, but also strong. He could even see the murderous look in their eyes.
If you stay here, you will die sooner or later.
But while escaping, Assassin Star glanced around and immediately understood what was happening outside.
Here, the people lying on the ground are all from their Hundred Kingdoms War.
Not dead, just lying on the ground, looking around with gloating eyes.
And Assassination Star also saw who fished him out.
It was a young man holding a fishing rod in his hand like an experienced fisherman.
There was a hint of murderous intent in Assassination Star's eyes, and this murderous intent happened to be directed at Zhou An.
So many companions suffered such misery because of such a fishing rod.
The culprit should be this young man.
"When I escape with my life and find an opportunity to assassinate him, I will be considered as avenging everyone."
With this thought in mind, Assassin Star disappeared as his figure and prepared to leave the room quietly.
There is a barrier set up by all the masters of the Peak Climbing Realm here. It stands to reason that even a Peak Climbing Realm master cannot get out.
But Assassination Star is different.
This is the characteristic of his profession.
Escape and hiding, as well as assassination, are what he is best at.
On the contrary, he can't beat any master of the same level head-on.
So even if there are these barriers around him, to him, it's like there are none.
The Assassination Star hides its figure and is getting closer at this time.
Eunuch Wei and others were also stunned by the scene before them.
They didn't expect that the other party would disappear as soon as he appeared, and something seemed to be penetrating their barrier.
But if I really turn around and look, I can't see anyone.
This is a particularly evil situation.
"I heard that there is a long-lost trade."
The Prime Minister stroked his beard with his hand and said slowly: "The name assassin evolved from the assassin trade. He is good at hiding, escaping, tracking and assassinating. This guy just now should be an assassin who is good at escaping and assassinating."
As soon as the words fell, the Prime Minister shot around him repeatedly.
The powerful words were swayed as he took action, and began to attack indiscriminately.
His method made the surrounding masters at the peak level also react.
In this situation, the other party must not be allowed to escape.
If the other party is allowed to escape, all subsequent plans will be disrupted.
After all, he was a master at the peak of the heavenly realm.
If he really escapes and is good at hiding, when he finds the location of the remnants of the Hundred Kingdoms War, he is afraid that they will be the ones injured.
Therefore, the Prime Minister's approach is actually the simplest and most unpretentious approach.
That is an indiscriminate coverage attack.
No matter how you hide it, I can always get it.
Thinking of this, everyone no longer hesitated and began to attack indiscriminately.
At this moment, Assassination Star has reached the edge of this barrier and is preparing to escape from here.
But after seeing the most terrifying indiscriminate attacks around him, Assassin Star felt like the hairs all over his body stood on end.
There were too many and too frequent attacks. If there was only one, he might be able to try his best to avoid it.
But now there are too many people, and trying to avoid them is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.
All around him, there was an ocean-like offensive. As long as he moved a step now, he would be overtaken.
After seeing this scene, Assassin Star felt cold sweat on his forehead.
Fortunately, he could still control it and didn't let his figure be exposed.
As a strong man who reached the peak of the Heaven Realm and survived during the War of One Hundred Kingdoms, he also has extremely rich combat experience.
In just a moment, Assassination Star had a new idea.
Although there were dense attacks all around, there was only one place that was not attacked, and that was Zhou An's position.
Eunuch Wei and others also considered Zhou An, so they created a safe area around Zhou An.
The Assassination Star did not hesitate, without saying a word, he moved forward and used his hiding skills to hide behind Zhou An.
The surrounding attacks came instantly, but they did not hurt him at all.
After a while, the attack dissipated.
Eunuch Wei frowned when he saw this: "Escaped?"
Everyone looked at each other and seemed to think they had run away.
"If this is really the case, then there will be big trouble." Souji said, stroking the Ice Fire Gun in his hand.
Everyone fell into a kind of silence.
They also knew that if they really let someone escape, and it was a peak-level assassin, then things would be really serious.
Everyone present fell silent, except Zhou An who narrowed his eyes.
He felt something was wrong.
The moment the other party appeared, although he had already hidden his whereabouts, he did not go far.
Because everyone here reacted very quickly.
"If the other party really ran away, it shouldn't be so fast."
Zhou An guessed that the other party was probably hiding.
As for where it is hidden, there is a lot to say here.
Assassin Star hid beside Zhou An, feeling more and more sweat on his forehead.
He did not run away immediately because the surrounding barriers had not been removed.
Even if he is proficient in hiding, as long as he touches the barrier, the opponent will be able to feel it and attack again.
At that time, if he hides again and hides next to Zhou An, he may be easily exposed.
So Assassination Star is also waiting, waiting for the surrounding barriers to disappear, and then he will find an opportunity to leave quickly.
At that time, he will come back to take revenge.
After all, he is someone who is proficient in assassination.
As the person who is most familiar with Zhou An, Eunuch Wei understands Zhou An best.
He easily felt Zhou An's emotional changes, turned to look at Zhou An, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhou An frowned and walked back and forth.
As he moved around, the assassin star hiding in the dark followed silently.
Assassination Star is now scared. He is afraid that the other party will do it again. He also sees that the most precious person here is Zhou An, so he wants to stay here with Zhou An to stay safe.
After Zhou An moved a little, he stopped, suddenly raised his head and made a look.
Assassination Star could not see this look, because Zhou An came out facing Eunuch Wei.
When Eunuch Wei saw Zhou An's eyes, his expression did not change, but he suddenly made a move.
Eunuch Wei stretched out his arm, grabbed Zhou An's shoulder, and quickly lifted him to his side.
After making this move, Assassination Star, who was hiding aside, instantly understood the fact that he had been exposed.
At this moment, as a remnant of the Hundred Kingdoms War with extremely rich combat experience and a master at the peak of the Heaven Realm, Assassin Star took action without hesitation.
Two short thorns only as long as the palm of his hand appeared in his hand, and he rushed towards Zhou An, and his figure was revealed in an instant.
Zhou An is the only weak one in this place.
He must hurry up and subdue Zhou An, maybe he can coerce Zhou An to take him away.
Even if Eunuch Wei strikes very quickly, and even if Zhou An reacts very quickly, Assassination Star believes that he can definitely subdue Zhou An instantly with this move.
When the time comes, he will be able to leave quietly and even get rid of this fishing expert.
But just when the assassin star was about to approach Zhou An, Zhou An showed a strange smile to him.
Assassination Star was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a very familiar aura flowing around him.
Zhou An's figure gradually disappeared in front of his eyes and merged into the shadow on the ground.
"This is what assassins do!"
Assassination Star reacted instantly.
Normally, with Zhou An's ability, he would be able to react quickly and catch him.
But now, Zhou An suddenly used this ability and disappeared instantly. In such a crisis, it is very capable of causing changes.
Especially between life and death, in such a split second, the assassin star lost its target.
Eunuch Wei's palm, filled with yin energy from the sky, was imprinted on Assassination Star's chest.
Assassination Star only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he flew out and landed on the ground.
When he reacted again, the surrounding peak Climbing Realm masters had already surrounded him.
At this time, Zhou An's figure appeared not far in front of the Assassination Star, with a smile on his lips.
Assassin Star looked at Zhou An's smile, his heart felt cold, and he already knew that he had become a turtle in the jar.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, the smile on Zhou An's face turned into a sinister expression, and he suddenly said something.
"Seniors, I think I have a way to speed up the progress and let all the masters who reach the peak of the heavenly realm come out."
"At that time, if we directly send troops to the barbarian country, we will be sure of victory."
After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Zhou An.
Zhou An came to the side of Assassination Star. Assassination Star looked up and down and spoke slowly in a cold tone.
"Want to live? Then cooperate."
(Transition, I have to speed up the pace)
