Chapter 395 Slender Beauty and Muscular Man (4000)
"come in……"
Elaine hesitated for a while, and finally opened the wooden door.
The two walked in and passed the corner. In front of them was the living room on the first floor. There was a lingering smell of food in the air, and it was obvious that lunch had just ended. In a corner against the wall, three figures were helping each other. Constantly beating on the waist, shoulders, neck, knees and other places, making a banging sound. After taking a closer look, I realized it was Jem, Kames, and Herb.
"Grandpa Herb...Uncle Jem..."
Claire was stunned for a moment, then said hello. The old hunters are the neutral camp of the Hunter Association and generally only support the black agency chief. As the niece of the head of the black agency, Claire naturally knows many old hunters.
"Uncle Jem, aren't you at the Ford County branch? Why are you back at the headquarters?" Among all the old hunters here, Claire is obviously the most familiar with Jem. Because Jem the Iron Mask was once a good friend of Claire's father, before he was transferred to the branch station, he would often visit her.
"It's little Claire. Oh, in the past few days, everyone wanted to get together at the headquarters, and I'm here too. I was planning to visit the head of the agency and your home tomorrow." Halfway through Jim's words, he suddenly felt a jerk on his neck. shrink.
"Hey, please be gentle..."
"It's light enough, but there's a big bruise here."
Kames shrugged helplessly.
Claire came over curiously, and was shocked to find a line of black and blue bruises on the back of Uncle Jim's neck, which was thick and thick. It looked like a simple and rough mark left by being chopped down quickly with a hand knife and ending the battle in an instant.
"Uncle Jim, you were beaten?!" Claire was surprised: "You have to talk to your uncle about this. Someone dares to attack the old hunter?"
"No, no, no, it's just us old guys... Well, it's just about learning and learning. We're learning from each other. It's normal to have a little injury..."
Jem seemed to want to say something, but couldn't keep his face. He could only speak vaguely, feeling a little embarrassed behind the mask.
He picked up the golden sore medicine, applied it on half of his palm, and applied the medicine to Hebu, whose clothes were half lifted next to him. On Hebb's back, there was an obvious slap mark on the surface of the skin. It looks serious, but it's actually fine. Herb and Elaine were the old hunters who received the fewest and lightest beatings.
It's not that Ka Xiu deliberately cared about it, but that the two of them were weak and had to do it step by step. The trio of old hunters on the couch is average at best. The worst part is on the second floor, where Rudy just arrived in the morning and Kroger, who is the strongest and receives the most care. Their bodies were all covered with traces of physical therapy. Fortunately, they were just skin injuries, but they were just exaggerated.
"All right……"
Claire hesitated to speak as she smelled the medicinal smell in the air. These people are all old bones, and they still like to mess around when they get together once every few years.
"Hmmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Suddenly, a scream of pain as violent as a methane explosion came from the second floor. It's like killing a pig, and people can't help but raise their heads.
"What...what's going on?"
Claire couldn't help but walked over and came to the second floor.
On the sofa in the living room on the second floor, an old body's entire upper body was covered with dog-skin plasters, and the pungent smell went straight to the brain.
Take a closer look, isn’t this Grandpa Rudy? ! The two only met at the meeting held yesterday due to Soth's attack.
"Grandpa Rudy, ah...you..."
Claire took a few steps forward and went straight to the living room. Suddenly, I noticed a figure on the balcony. The figure was unusually tall and tall, with dark skin, like a healthy bronze. Claire took a closer look and saw that there was no skin color at all, it was clearly a bruise.
Yes, there were bruises and blood under the skin on the entire back.
The figure slowly turned around, it was Kroger the Butcher.
"How come all the well-known old hunters within the organization have returned to the headquarters? And all of them are injured?" Claire was a little confused.
"Ah, it's Claire. Did I hallucinate because I was beaten?"
Rudy opened his old, dim eyes and murmured to himself.
"No, Grandpa Rudy, it's not a hallucination."
Claire waved her hand in front of Rudy's eyes.
"No, it must be an illusion!" Rudy's eyes were somewhat intelligent, and he said as if he was delirious: "Bai Kui, you can't lie to me! I'll just keep fighting with you. Four hours is nothing, I'll give you ten I won’t be tired even after an hour! If I were young, I wouldn’t be tired even after forty hours…”
"Hahaha, you brat wants to fight me, but he's still far from it!"
He laughed and started talking to himself.
"Claire, please ignore him. You know where he is..."
Kroger came over and tapped his temple with his finger.
Claire nodded secretly. She had known for a long time that Grandpa Rudy would sometimes suffer from headaches and illnesses. But he didn't expect it to be so serious, hallucinations appeared, and he fell all over like this.
"Alas..." Claire couldn't help but sigh as she thought that sooner or later this would happen to her. Pray that this day comes later.
"Bai Kui is on the third floor. If you need anything, you can knock on the door."
Kroger reminded. When Claire walked up, he looked at Rudy who was still mumbling next to him. Rudy was indeed hallucinating, but it wasn't a beastly attack. It was caused by too many disasters accumulated in the body for decades being discharged at once, irritating the old brain.
As long as I line up once or twice more, I should stop having seizures.
Kroger glanced at the stairs going down. There were six old hunters gathered in the Herb family, almost all the remaining old guys in the dark hunting organization.
They came to the organization's headquarters for two days, and an unprecedented unity suddenly emerged. Not only because of the joy of expelling the disaster from the body, but also because of Ka Xiu. They want to push Ka Xiu into the position of Shadow Hunter, maybe this will bring good changes to the Dark Hunter organization.
Kroger took another look up the stairs.
As for Card Xiu's hidden strength that is comparable to that of a Shadow Hunter, what does the magical secret weapon effect mean? All they need to know is that Ka Xiu is here to help the Hunter Association, and he can solve the problem of hunters turning into beasts!
"I hope the trial and assessment time comes earlier..."
On the third floor, Claire gently knocked on the door of a secret room.
Because of Grandpa Rudy's nonsense on the second floor just now, he became even more curious about Card Xiu. What do you mean by playing for four hours? What's the reason for continuing to fight? Could it be that there is a hidden side to that slender and beautiful young man? In fact, he is a very violent fighting maniac?
However, Bai Kui uses illusion, so why is he so violent...
Claire was thinking in her mind when the door in front of her suddenly clicked open. The curtains on the balcony behind me roared, and the wind and waves blew.
She faced the sunlight in the room and squinted her eyes.
A tall rock-white wall completely blocked the aisle.
Half a second later, the wall turned over.
Oh, it's not a wall, it's a person. A burly muscular man, his upper body was naked, revealing the outline of muscles made of steel. The two arms were like cement piles, with blue-black tendons wrapped around them, like strong and thick steel bars. The surface of the skin was slightly glowing with honey-colored oil, which was obviously the sweat from just exercising. Her long golden hair hangs over her shoulders, giving her a wild and unrestrained aura.
Combined with the black trousers and belt on the lower body, it inexplicably gives people a contradictory sense of civilization and barbarism. All in all, he has quite the style of a strong man. You can tell at a glance that he is not a simple person.
"Um, hello. Is Bai Kui here? I have something to do with him..."
Claire said something subconsciously.
"Claire?" The strong man in front of him made a low voice, as if his entire skull and chest were resonating, bringing a sense of power.
"Well, I am. Are you?" Claire nodded.
"I'm Bai Kui. It's only been a day and you don't recognize me anymore?"
The strong man walked over step by step, his footsteps low and muffled.
"Bai...Bai Kui?!"
Claire's eyes widened. Except for the outline of Bai Kui's face, which was somewhat similar to before, nothing else matched her.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a body like a tank, and arms as strong as cement piles. It's completely different from the 1.7-meter-six-meter-feminine and beautiful boy from before! At least, Claire couldn't accept it.
"Are you Bai Kui? Impossible!"
Claire subconsciously took a step back. Although I don't want to maliciously speculate on others, the person in front of me has a really vicious aura.
She was prepared in advance to be attacked.
"This is the badge you gave me, and I give it back to you."
The strong man in front suddenly stretched out his hand and handed over a wooden badge.
Claire was startled. This badge was indeed forced on Bai Kui by himself. If there is danger, it can be crushed. Claire can sense it instantly.
She hesitated for a moment, looking at the huge palm spread out in front of her, enough to crush her entire head. Finally, I reached out and took it back.
"Bai Kui, why have you become like this?"
Ten minutes later, Claire reluctantly accepted the facts before her.
"He was a seedling secretly cultivated by the old hunters from the beginning, even before he joined the dark hunting organization? He has been keeping a low profile since joining the organization, and will never reveal his strength before he has decisive power! To this day, he and you six A teacher decided not to pretend anymore..."
"Good guy...good guy..."
Claire was dumbfounded, she didn't expect things to develop like this.
I had just vowed to protect Ka Xiu. Now it seems that Card repair needs protection? Not bad enough to protect his enemies.
Claire couldn't see through Card Xiu's strength. This proves that the opponent has at least the same level or even stronger power than himself, and has been hiding it.
So now, I have a strong competitor?
On the sofa in the living room on the first floor, Claire, Rudy, Jem, and Elaine sat facing each other. The expressions on the face change rapidly, which is very exciting. The three old hunters opposite each held a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
"Little Claire, my grandparents and uncles also have difficulties. The royal family and the parliament are watching. We can't let the seedlings cultivated by us old guys be exposed early. Once exposed, Soth's situation will be that of Bai Kui, and even , the assassination will be more unscrupulous. After all, we are some old guys, and it is not easy to ask the regiment commander to stand up for us..."
Rudy said slowly, holding a cane in his hand.
"Yes, so we can only do it slowly. Bai Kui has been keeping a low profile since he joined the Hunter Association. He is also very hard. He has to use bone-shrinking skills to compress his body every day, pretending to be weak and weak. . He has always hated the way he looks after compressing his bones. What you just saw is Bai Kui’s truly perfect form..."
Jem pushed his mask up and took a sip of tea.
"Uh..." Claire was speechless. He felt that Kaxiu should maintain his bone-shrinking state. The strong man just now was too scary and oppressive.
"Hmm... little Claire. What is my aunt's opinion? It's better not to confront Bai Kui. This kid doesn't attack lightly or harshly. He will never show mercy to a beautiful woman, and he will be ruthless even against old men and old ladies..."
Elaine clicked her tongue three times and shook her head.
"Yes, Claire. In short, in the next competition for the Shadow Hunter seat, it is best not to confront Bai Kui. Just let him deal with Solomon of the Council and Soth of the Royal Family, and you can just sit back and watch."
Rudy turned his crutch and said thoughtfully.
Claire couldn't hold herself any longer. Obviously at yesterday's meeting, Grandpa Rudy was still urging himself to be aggressive during this time. Soth was assassinated and broke an arm. His strength dropped a lot and his competitiveness dropped significantly. If Claire seizes the opportunity, it is entirely possible for her to succeed!
As a result, he turned around and began to persuade himself to avoid Bai Kui's sharp edge.
After all, Claire is one of the top dark gold hunters. She has been a genius since she was a child, and she also has arrogance in her heart. Claire was a little unconvinced that the three seniors who had watched her grow up looked down upon her so much.
"I admit that I can't see through Bai Kui's aura now, but it's not like I can't even compete! I don't think my Siren can't compete with his muscles." Claire curled her lips: "Because The reason for Soth's assassination is that the Shadow Qualification Competition has been moved forward to a week later, and each person will be assigned a dangerous task at that time..."
"Fair play." She added at the end.
"It's not fair...how is this fair..." Rudy shook his head.
A competitor who already has the strength of a shadow hunter has a crushing advantage over other competitors who are still at the dark gold level.
If Claire wants to compete with Ka Xiu, she must go to the source of the holy spring in advance and soak to her limit, which will greatly increase her strength. It will take several months to master the skyrocketing power, and then several years of fighting to become proficient.
In this way, it is possible to win this competition.
Rudy sighed, it was not easy to expose Card Xiu's strength.
"Well, anyway, don't rush to take action. Let Solomon and Soth go first. Then you can see what the situation is and then make a decision..."
Rudy stood up and patted Claire on the shoulder. With Claire's confused eyes, she walked out of the living room and walked to the second floor step by step.
In the living room on the second floor, Ka Xiu has finished washing and is dressed neatly.
He planned to go to the Hunter Association to take away the resources that belonged to him.
Unmodified…
