Chapter 261

Chapter 261: A Group of Assassins

Han quickly became familiar with the two old men, the taller one was called Lipton, and the

shorter one was Dini . Both were soldiers at the quasi-warlord level .

When they were young, quasi-warlord level already indicated having good talent .

Unfortunately, after they came to the Star Lord City, their level became stagnant ever since, and

now hundreds of years have passed and their levels were still the same .

The increasingly aging Lipton and TIni now treated this opportunity very seriously, and Han

said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I observed the other people that will also be going with us .

They are all very strong, and at least 4 of them are above warlord level . Maybe this time you

guys will succeed . ”

Dini shook his head and said, “It’s not that easy . Although the Wind Forest Volcano is the

mission with the highest promotion rate, its difficulty is also high up there . Also, it’s not

against the rules for teammates to kill each other on the battlefield, so I feel that we don’t have

that much of hope . ”

Han was a bit puzzled, “Why does Wind Forest Volcano allow friendly-fire?”

Lipton explained, “Because the difficulty is way too high . Sometimes, a team will have to

sacrifice a few members to acquire victory, so that’s why this mission is also known as the

quest of sacrifice . It would be nice if 3 or 4 people can come back alive . ”

Lipton explained the cruelty behind the Wind Forest Volcano quest . Han slightly nodded,

understanding once again that it was really not an easy thing to acquire the Star Lord title from

this kind of quest .

Faintly smiling, Han said to those two, “In any case, we should still all give it a try right? As long

as we tried, then we don’t have to mind the result . ”

The second day came immediately . Han didn’t go to the transition station but stayed in Star

Lord City to train, tune his equipment, and prepare everything that would be needed on the

battlefield .

When the agreed time came, Han went with Dini and Lipton to the boarding area outside of the

city . They all took out their particle modules and went in . No one else showed up, they probably

went to other boarding areas to enter the mission .

After the preparation, Han nodded towards the two old men . They all closed their particle

module, activated the system, and after the countdown ended, they were teleported into the

mission system .

Ka~

Han opened the module door, and he saw that the other people had already arrived at the

mission landing area . Black sand accompanied by mad wind made it hard for everyone to open

their eyes, and Han instinctively activated his energy coating system .

Shua~

Han’s entire body was immediately wrapped up by a controllable protective energy layer . The

sand couldn’t get to his face, and the energy protection layer was very soft and weightless, just

like air .

“Brother Han, your equipment is pretty powerful . It’s still my first time seeing a piece of

equipment with a controllable energy coating as the outer layer armor . ” Lipton said out of

surprise .

Han hesitated, “It’s just an energy coating system, this kind of thing should be very common,

right?”

Dini replied, “At least us two have never seen it . Where did you get this equipment?”

“From the transition station . ” Han answered truthfully .

Dini and Lipton then mumbled a bit, both claiming that they have never seen a controllable

energy coating device that can be designed this delicately . But they also believed that Han

wouldn’t lie to them, and thought that it was probably because they didn’t look around

carefully enough in the transition station .

After all, the transition station was gigantic, and the exchangeable items could be counted in

hundreds of millions, so it’s normal to have not discovered some items in the corner . They both

said that they would go to the transition station after this and purchase one for themselves .

The twelve members were all here . Han observed everyone and he estimated that the strongest

ones would be that pair of brothers . The big brother’s name was Big Mountain, and the younger

brother’s name was Big River . Han was not an expert in names or anything, but these names

did seem a little fake to him . But there’s nothing to be done, that’s how the system displayed

those two .

There’s also another bald man and a hunchback . He probably had strength above the warlord

level, but the atmosphere around them was clearly weaker than the Big Mountain and Big River

brothers . They were probably a little lower in terms of level as well .

“What do we do now?” Han asked .

Lipton answered, “Wind Forest Volcano, the first round is wind . There are many dangerous

elements hidden in this black wind, and we have to first run out of this black wind in order to

get into second round . In the dark forest, if we choose the wrong direction and run into traps

and beasts, then we will be screwed . ”

Dini spoke, “I recommend we all line up in a vertical line like a snake, with one person exploring

in the front while others follow . That way we can move together and also won’t be scattered . ”

Dini and Lipton talked while the others stayed silent, as if passing this Wind Forest Volcano

mission was not something they cared about .

Han slightly frowned, this situation alerted him a little, and he deepened his voice, “If so, then I

will lead, you guys follow me . ”

“That would be nice!”

“Your energy coating device can protect you from the wind and sand, then you can just be the

pioneer . ”

Seeing that everyone was not speaking and all thinking of something on their own, Han gritted

his teeth a little and went straight into the black storm, with Dini and Lipton closely followed

After those three began moving, the nine others closely followed silently . Within such a short

period of time, they seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, but Han, Dini and Lipton

were still out of tune with the other nine people .

“Eye of Darkness, open!”

Han quietly used his dark vision and scouted the area ahead . Then, he lightly touched the Lunar

Mark, summoned Silver Fox out of the void, and whispered in its air, “I feel something’s wrong,

go hide and act accordingly . ”

Shua~

Silver Fox climbed down along Han’s trousers, and disappeared in the black sand storm

immediately, with no one noticing it .

To a clever thing like Silver Fox, Han didn’t need to give it too much details, just some simple

instructions and it would already know what to do .

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed . Han’s team slowly advanced against the storm, everyone

was half a meter apart and moved in a formation shaped like a snake .

In the middle of the team, the bald middle-aged man named Jacques quietly approached the

hunch-backed man that walked in front of him, and then transmitted his voice quietly using

source energy, “Look, there are stars in the front . ”

The hunch-backed man slightly hesitated, then replied back with source energy, “What star?”

“White Dwarf Star . ”

“Where does the star light points to?”

“Black hole . ”

The two people used source energy and communicated with words that no one understood . It

was a kind of code phrase used to show each other their identity as killers .

That bald guy slightly smiled and said, “What a coincidence, your target is the same person as

mine . ”

“Han?”

“That’s right, it’s him . ”

“Who hired you?”

“Beast Speaker Hall, you?”

“Pegasus Institute . ”

The two became silent for a moment, and then the hunchback man said, “In fact, I also know

those three people over there . They are the same . ”

“It can’t be, they are also going for Han?”

After a few seconds, they understood, those three people also came for Han, it’s just that they

were hired by Soul Beast Hall .

They also noticed that the other two people seemed to be on the same mission . After asking

with code language, it turned out that they were hired by the Genetic Beast Research Institute,

and their target was also Han .

“What to do? There are 7 of us, hired by 4 clans, all targeting Han . ” The bald guy said in quietly .

“Follow the old rule, we capture Han together, and Han goes to whichever clan pays the highest

price . ”

“Okay, agreed . ”

“Agreed . ”

“Since everyone agreed, then it’s settled . Besides Han, there are also two old people at the front

and two strangers at the back . They seem a bit troublesome . ”

“Simple . Don’t have to worry about the two old guys . As for the two people behind us, send

someone to explain to them, tell them either take money and shut up, or we will just take care

of them too . ” The bald man said .

Then, the bald guy began slowly moving towards the end of the team where the brothers were

at .

“Hey look, someone came to talk to us . ” The quieter-looking little brother smiled, an arc raised

at one end of his mouth .
