Chapter 1664: Silent Kill
[Hunting makeup] is an emerging force in the Gold Rush Triangle. It became famous about five months ago, and the crimes it committed are far worse than Largo Those few understatements were far more serious.
Although Mo Tan had never even heard of this name before last night, relying on his unique circle of friends, he was able to collect detailed information about this organization in a short period of time.
The person who provided the information this time was not the Junwu boss of the Wanderer Hotel who has a long-term cooperative relationship with Mo Tan and has established a foothold in the Free City where his headquarters is located. Another 'friend' or 'business partner' whom I only met over time.
That was the person he met in Academy City when he was 'Tan Mo'. He was also an outsider in the eyes of an NPC, and was an out-and-out player.
The organization he belongs to in this game is a chamber of commerce called 'Viper'.
As we all know, there has never been a "white path" for forces that are keen on engaging in intelligence business, so whether it is the Thieves Guild or the Wanderer Hotel where Jun Wu is located, they are all completely gray forces. , I’m not sure if he’s a bad person, but he basically doesn’t have any good things.
As for the [Viper Chamber of Commerce], it is much simpler than the previous two. It is a proper evil force, with no purpose, members, beliefs or spiritual thoughts at all. Anything that is positive and sunny can basically be said to be evil.
Of course, as a dark and evil force with a history of hundreds of years, Viper is not a low-level bad guy group like bandits and bandits. Its tentacles are all over the entire continent, and its overt and covert forces are also intertwined. Many forces even maintain a very close cooperative relationship, and their headquarters is as hidden as the first treasury of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the board of directors building of the Steam Consortium. To explain simply - most people have not even heard their names. As I said, even within Viper, more than 70% of the members are unaware of the existence of [Headquarters].
In short, [The Viper Chamber of Commerce] is a super villain organization with very strong overall strength, many experts within the organization, protective umbrellas all over the world, and business throughout the entire continent.
The person Mo Tan met in Academy City, who he noted as [Snake] in his friend list, was a 'second-class steward' of the Viper Chamber of Commerce.
This is not the first time that Mo Tan has dealt with Viper people. Just a few months ago in Caselo, Mo Tan, Ya Ya, Ji Xiaoge and Jadeka had dealt with a group of people. The slave transport team of the Viper Chamber of Commerce had a fight. At that time, the third-level operator named Sergei almost single-handedly defeated the Wangwang team, whose average strength had not yet reached a high level.
The leader of that team at that time was a shadow mage named Pierce Scrimgeour. His strength was at the semi-epic level, and his status was the first-class operator of the Viper Chamber of Commerce. '.
There is a saying, if Darian Diesel hadn't arrived in time after receiving the news from Jadeka, saved several people at the critical moment, and casually killed those from the Viper Chamber of Commerce. After everyone was killed, Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge had already rebuilt their roles, and the survival rate of Jadeka and Yaya was infinitely close to zero.
It is worth mentioning that although Pierce was a 'first-class operator' at the time, within the Viper Chamber of Commerce, most of the [operators] were executives with outstanding abilities or certain specialties. , and [Deacon] is mainly responsible for It is in terms of administration and planning, so to a certain extent, although the theoretical status of 'first class' is higher than that of 'second class', the 'second class deacon' that Mo Tan knows is actually greater than that in terms of authority. A 'first-class operator' who was killed by Darien.
As far as Mo Tan knows, the only person who can break into the [Viper Chamber of Commerce] as a player and be promoted to the level of a junior cadre in just half a year is the hooded man he met in the Free City. .
That is a person who definitely can't get along with 'Mo', and would stay away from 'Black Brahman', but he took the initiative to approach 'Tan Mo' and wanted to take care of each other. This person is resourceful and extremely deep. He also carries a powerful NPC with him, a legal white-haired lolita named [Ying] who can single-handedly suppress 'Tan Mo's' Ma Zai and maid.
The condition for Mo Tan to agree to include her in his friends list is that the girl named [Ying] must cooperate with him once to encircle and suppress someone, and everyone knows the result. After all, Jia Wen is still Although Ying did not make much contribution in this process, she also cooperated with Mo Tan's plan and won a "Tan Mo" friend position for her "adult".
After that, although the two did not have any meaningless exchanges, they never broke off contact. Mo Tan never gave Jun Wu that level of trust, and the 'snake' Mo Tan's attitude was not overly enthusiastic. As he said before, the relationship between the two parties was only an 'opportunity to cooperate' and was not an official long-term collaborator.
So apart from a few exchanges of information, the two of them had almost never interacted with each other. As for the information about [Hunting Zhuang], Mo Tan casually inquired about it after changing his number yesterday. , using a chat-like tone, and his attitude can be described as quite casual.
In fact, Mo Tan just asked casually at that time, completely out of curiosity about the profession of "flower picker in another world".
The person who was noted as [Snake] by Mo Tan also casually answered him after a little investigation.
A brief summary is:
First of all, although the main scope of activities of [Hunter] is the Gold Rush Triangle, it occasionally commits crimes in the Golden City and the Principality of Freya. So far, Its success rate is a crazy 100%.
Secondly, although the main members of the gang are all men, the objects they deceive include not only beautiful girls, but also handsome boys. The difference is that the beautiful girls are basically sold to several people secretly after being tortured. The place (the other party did not mention the specific content, and Tan Mo, who has a 'chaotic neutral' personality, did not ask), and those handsome guys... except for those who saw neither alive nor dead, seemed to have become new members of [Hunting makeup].
Third, although there is no concrete evidence, the probability that the leader of the [Hunting Zhuang] gang is a woman is more than 80%.
Fourth, this group of people has a protective umbrella over their heads. Although it is not a [deserted shop], whether it is the Golden City, the Principality of Freya, or even Toril, which borders the Cassero Grassland further north, In every country, there are many dignitaries who have unclear relationships with them and frequently provide a large amount of support including funds.
Finally, [Hunting Zhuang]'s behavior is very cruel and vicious. Almost all the women they deceive do not end well, and the ending is far more tragic than ordinary people imagine.
As for the above content, although Mo Tan under the 'Chaotic Neutral' personality just laughed it off, at this moment, after he contacted those people who had intelligence to cause trouble for the [Destruction King] mercenary group, , it’s a different mood.

Five minutes later
Game time PM13:09
Outside of the hunting nest, the fourth floor of [Poison Circle]
“Damn, why is that guy still coming here? ..."
In a certain tree hole, there was a half-orc young man with beautiful beige wool curls, fair skin, and delicate features who sipped uneasily. Pursing his lips, he carefully felt the feedback from the silk threads in his hands, and muttered through gritted teeth: "That guy on the 6th is obviously already at a high level, why didn't he stop him for even a minute? Or, Is that intruder someone who can be recommended to Sister Xiaohong? Huh, if that’s the case... No!”
Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly widened. He looked down at his index finger with several circles of white thread wrapped around it in disbelief, and froze in place.
After a while, the handsome boy with the woolen roll came back to his senses and murmured: "Impossible, let alone the Poison King, why even the Silkworm Mother and the Tangled Spider...damn it, What kind of monster is this, epic?" He shook his head. He shook his head and drove this outrageous thought out of his mind. If he thought about it carefully, if the intruder was really epic, Sister Xiaohong's 'Golden Eclipse Toad' should have reacted long ago. In that case, the eldest sister would have greeted her long ago. Everyone ran away, so the other party must not be epic!
That’s right, it’s not an epic! As long as it is not an epic, no matter who the opponent is, there is absolutely no way they can defeat Sister Xiaohong in this area!
I can’t stay here any longer! We have to go back to find Sister Xiaohong!
The wool roll half-elf who was sent out to watch swallowed hard, and then prepared to leave the tree hole where he lived, and quickly ran back to find his 'sister', but right here The man had just propped himself up and was about to lift up the fake tree bark behind him and exit, but his body froze and he stood there as if struck by lightning.
Because just at the last moment, a strange and dangerous aura suddenly appeared in his perception,
The Eye of Dead Leaves!
Without the slightest hesitation, this handsome man with a wool roll who was an intermediate druid immediately activated his secret method, synchronizing his perception to several nearby plants that had been specially treated by him, and obtained them at the same time in the next second. A hazy vision from several angles.
He held his breath and strengthened his communication with two of the plants, and soon gained a much clearer vision than before.
It was a tall, handsome half-dragon knight. His cheeks and eyebrows were dotted with some beautiful dark purple scales. There was a faint murderous intent in his condensed vertical pupils. The handle in his hand looked quite... The simple long sword broke through an old tree like cutting tofu, piercing into the branches that seemed to hide something, and then flicked out a large amount of scarlet blood.
...Huh?
...Wait a minute?
...Where did the sword penetrate?
The man blinked blankly, looked down at his chest where a hole had been made at some point, and opened his mouth in disbelief, but lost the last trace of life the second before he screamed. , just curled up and died in the narrow trunk.
...
Game time PM13:24
Outside of the hunting nest, the second floor of [Poison Circle]
“Don’t…don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!! !”
A handsome middle-aged man with a slightly vicissitude of temperament and a unique mature charm roared loudly, and then looked at himself tremblingly. On his shoulders, there was an arm a second ago, but at this moment, there is nothing left except the purple-red spraying wildly. Although he has formed a symbiotic relationship with poisonous insects, his recovery ability is different from ordinary people. , it would take nearly half a month to recover from such a disabling injury, but the other party obviously did not intend to give him such a long time.
Boom!
What answered him was a battle ax falling from the air, knocking it directly to the boots kneeling on the ground.
There was no hesitation, no torture, and no dialogue. The half-dragon knight with faint flashes of lightning in his vertical pupils just calmly slashed with his sword, cutting off the star with wide eyes and overflowing eyebrows. His head was filled with fear and pleading, and then he continued to move forward without even looking back.
A few seconds later, Yaya, who had kept a distance of thirty meters from the former, arrived belatedly. He glanced at the corpse on the ground with disgust, and continued to chase forward happily.
……
Game time PM13:36
Outside of the hunting nest, the first level of [Poison Circle]
In front of the deep and dark cave entrance, he was given the title 'No. 1', and he has already touched half a step The beast elf man at the threshold of the epic frowned, and an imperceptible drop of sweat slowly slid down his angular cheek, fell to the ground silently, and shattered into pieces.
Having higher 'authority', he has already learned from the movements of the poisonous beast traps on the periphery that the enemy is about to arrive here.
As for the six people in front of him, there has been no news until now. No news has been sent back since not long ago.
Although he does not have the ability of 'Sister Xiaohong' to communicate with specific people at long distances at any time, No. 1 still has no reason to feel that his partners are probably in danger. An accident occurred without exceeding the danger threshold.
And it was a series of surprises that almost made people unable to react, because if his calculations were correct, the opponent did not seem to slow down at all because of the obstacles of those traps and partners, but moved at a very stable pace. The movement speed is approaching here.
"Roar——"
A faint roar came from a distance and stopped abruptly the next moment. No. 1's brow jumped again. He knew that this was the roar of 'Sister Xiaohong's' pet [Kuave Tiger] before its death. In other words, in at most five minutes, the uninvited guest would arrive here.
【Fight...or flee...】
No. 1 frowned and thought, but soon, knowing that he had no way out, he gave up the idea of escape. He held his breath and concentrated on mobilizing the fighting spirit in his body that was just shy of touching the threshold of the epic. He planned to try it first. Test the opponent's quality, and be prepared to pretend to surrender if you really can't beat him, and lead the opponent to the cave on the pretext of leading the way.
Then——
He was smashed by a halberd falling from the sky, with nearly a third of the bones in his body broken.
