Chapter 249: More Friends, More Paths
"It seems that I am a little late..."
The old man glanced around the battlefield, then glanced at the black meat ball not far away. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to understand a lot of situations in an instant.
“Cough cough cough!”
Coughing sounds came from the woods everywhere. Colin saw that the enemy who was hiding in the dark and shooting, whom he had not had time to deal with before, seemed to have bad luck and accidentally choked on his own saliva. He couldn't suppress his physiological coughing instinctively.
A few seconds later, they fainted due to lack of oxygen to their brains caused by the violent coughing...
"This... is so weird?" Colin was stunned.
He knew that there were cases where people could faint from choking on saliva, but it would never happen to these people. They were obviously under the influence of the ninth-level "fate predictor" expert.
"This is what bad luck looks like."
The old man made a simple comment, then retracted his gaze and looked at Colin. His face was kind, but Colin couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart again.
If he could still fight back against the previous level eight guy, then if this guy really had any ideas, Colin estimated that he would not be able to resist at all, and it would be difficult for him to escape.
At the same time, he also figured out why the battle was so urgent and why the other side suddenly withdrew.
It is estimated that the other party also knew that reinforcements would arrive soon, so they retreated instead of continuing to try to capture him.
Especially since there is a top-level extraordinary person of level nine among the reinforcements!
"You seem to be under a lot of pressure?"
The old man, who was a ninth-level expert, spoke in a calm tone, and no emotion could be heard. However, his eyes did not stay on Colin. Instead, he looked at Qin Chuan and others behind him, and took out a pair of black sunglasses from his pocket.
"Actually, there's no need. After all, I'm not a demon."
The old man put on his sunglasses and then looked at Colin again: "In today's world, it is always better to have more friends to cooperate with than to have one more enemy. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Colin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "You are right."
He knew that basically meant that the things he was worried about, like turning those things in, weren't going to happen.
Because the two sides are in a "cooperative" relationship, not a subordinate relationship...
"The incident of 'Li Ping' is indeed a tragedy, but have you ever wondered why 'Li Ping' kept saying meaningless things when she last invited you?" the old man continued.
"What do you mean?" Colin seemed to realize something.
After this reminder, he indeed discovered that the last "Li Ping" had been doing meaningless things.
The blunt persuasion to surrender, the clichéd lines, the confusing "riddle"...
"Hehe, originally she wanted to directly tell you some Red Moon prayers and instill some subtle but dangerous knowledge pollution in you... However, I added a new script for her. Otherwise, given your current situation, it might not be a good thing to be exposed to that knowledge."
The tall and thin old man shook his head: "It's a pity that she noticed the problem after just a few words, otherwise there would be a chance to take her down."
"This line is terrible. Who wouldn't notice something unusual if it happened to them?"
Colin complained in his heart.
At the same time, from the old man's words, I also learned about some of his abilities - influencing a person's luck, and arranging abilities similar to the narration in "Love in Paradise".
The old man didn't say much on this matter. He looked at the children behind his sunglasses and said, "Where did these people come from? Some other unknown area? I can hardly detect any traces they left in this world."
Awesome... Colin felt that if this old man looked a few more times, he would be able to see through the disguises of those "Seventh Box World" seeds.
"They have some problems, but they are not serious. Next, let's talk about you..."
The old man seemed to have no idea what Colin was thinking. He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly realized something, looked in a certain direction, and changed the subject:
"I suddenly felt that if I chased after her now, I might be able to catch up with her. The possibility was very small, but what if?
“So, let’s talk about your business later. Someone else will take over here soon. See you later.
"By the way, you can look for the things you handed in before nearby. If you're lucky, they should be fine."
After saying that, without waiting for Colin to respond, the old man disappeared, and there was no trace of his existence. Everything looked like an illusion...
Qin Chuan and others behind him were immersed in the "deafening" battle that had just happened. They did not come to their senses and did not even notice that the old man had come.
If it weren't for a few enemies in the distance who were choked by his saliva, Colin would even doubt that the old man had never appeared.
He is like "luck", which is difficult to detect if no traces are left intentionally.
"Is the ninth level of 'Fortune Telling' so weird..."
Colin was secretly shocked, then went forward to look for it, and easily found four parchments, two of which were his and the other two belonged to other people in his group.
In addition, there are some items handed in by Qin Chuan and others, which are indeed still there...
Qin Chuan and the others in the pit seemed to have just come to their senses. They all scratched their itchy ears in unison, and then someone spoke up: "Is the problem solved?"
"Um."
Colin nodded and spoke as he removed the "Smiling Mountain of Corpses".
But before he could say anything more, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound in his ears.
Several people looked up at the same time and saw several jet fighters flying across the sky at a very fast speed.
And, after flying to a certain position, the magazine opened, and something was dropped from it, flying towards here—
A missile!
boom!
The missile landed accurately not far from Colin and the others, and the magazine was shattered. However, what exploded was not gunpowder, but strange yellow talisman paper all over the sky...
What is this?
While Colin was wondering, he saw a part of the yellow paper suddenly gather together and condense into the shape of a person.
Not long after, among the large amount of yellow paper that was flying in the sky without falling to the ground, a paper man who was obviously condensed from yellow paper but so lifelike as to be indistinguishable from a real person walked out.
"...This seems to be the garrison of this province, also an eighth-level strongman, 'Talisman' Cao Yixiang." Qin Chuan explained in a low voice beside Ke Lin, his words full of respect.
Because he and the other party are following the same path - playing with talismans.
"It seems that the troublesome things have been solved." Cao Yixiang looked around and found that everything had been solved.
Then, he noticed that many people were injured, so he waved his hands and many talismans flew out quickly, sticking to those people, or directly drilling into their bodies to stabilize their injuries...
When this level eight expert took over the scene, hundreds of rapidly descending parachutes appeared in the sky. These parachutes were much smaller than normal ones and descended very quickly. They were obviously specially made for people with extraordinary abilities...
And on the sea farther away, one could vaguely see some ships approaching, with a helicopter flying in the air above them, one step ahead and approaching quickly.
