Chapter 49 The Killing Team
1770 Words
Although Mu Yunfei didn't know what skills Bei Linfeng had or if he hid some mysterious methods, he didn't panic but had more interests in the following competition.
He looked at the point card in his hand. There was a shining star with faint light besides his information on the card. The star was especially beautiful on this crystal-like card.
Bei Linfeng seemed to see through Mu Yunfei and moved closer to him, saying, "With Golden Bloodline, you are treated differently. As soon as you register, you have a star." There was admiration in his tone.
Mu Yunfei turned to Bei Linfeng and asked, "What does this star mean?"
"In the Star Duel, every time you win a match, you can accumulate a point, and the point is a point of this five-pointed star. On the contrary, if you lose once, you will have one less point. It means that others should win five times successively before they get your points.
"However, when all people's skills change so unpredictably, it will take a long time before you win five matches." Afterward, Bei Linfeng paused for a moment and took out his point card from his pocket. There were two intact five-pointed stars shining indistinctly on it and showing that its owner had enjoyed ten greatest triumphs.
Seeing that Mu Yunfei looked at it with interest, Bei Linfeng showed a proud expression on his face and stated, "I have two stars, but it's the result after I have worked hard for one year, while as soon as you come, you have half of mine."
Although he tried to comfort Mu Yunfei, in fact, he just showed off his strength.
"Don't underestimate the accumulated points. Only the people with twenty stars after winning one hundred times have the chance to join the alternate team and attend the large-scaled league held once every two years by the Elemental Star Galaxy.
"And it's not that the people at a higher stage of bloodline are more powerful. The fighting mode and understanding your own skills can increase your chance of winning." It was obvious that he said that to Mu Yunfei intentionally.
Mu Yunfei nodded in silence. As he knew more about the Star Duel, he was interested in it greatly and even had a plan...
When they were talking, there was a thud in a field aside suddenly. They saw that a figure bumped into the light curtain and trembled. Obviously that competitor was unable to move anymore.
"Who is so ruthless?" Bei Linfeng whispered in disdain.
Next second, they saw something shocking.
They thought that the battle had ended, but suddenly...
They felt that a black figure flashed past and then showed up next to the unconscious competitor. The figure waved a knife and killed the opponent in front without delay.
Fresh blood erupted out of the man's neck, and he fell aside, remaining still and quiet.
Was he dead?
Was he killed in this way?
Didn't they say that it was not allowed to kill people in the arena?
The black figure was a woman, with endless coldness in her eyes. She looked at the dead body next to her feet and then walked down the stage expressionlessly. During the period, there was no energy leaking around her body. It seemed that she didn't use any energy.
At the moment, the audience around this field didn't scream in fear but cheered.
"She deserves to be Coldblooded Queen."
"We can't watch Coldblooded Queen's battle enough every time. She just ends the game with only one movement."
"Cool! That man is so miserable!"
"..."
People talked about it crazily, and it seemed that a person's death didn't affect them.
"The death disclaimer..."
When Mu Yunfei was confused about it, Bei Linfeng's voice was heard. It was trembling obviously.
He looked at the fatty only to see that his eyes were full of fear.
"Let's go now, in case these people keep an eye on us." He hurriedly grabbed Mu Yunfei and Nana to leave this area.
"Fatty, what's going on? What's the death disclaimer?" Nana asked while running.
"There is a small force in the Star Duel on the Soil Planet. They claim to be the Death Disclaimer Team or Killing Team." Mu Yunfei obviously felt that Bei Linfeng trembled at the mention of the names.
"It's called the Death Disclaimer Team because each member in this team will sign a death disclaimer before every competition here, and every time, they end it with killing the opponent in seconds. Nobody is alive after being defeated by one of them, so it's called the Killing Team."
"Why are there people willing to compete with them?" Mu Yunfei asked in confusion. In his opinion, they should just refuse to compete with such ruthless people.
"I thought so in the beginning, but..." Bei Linfeng seemed to be recalling. Then he added, "They said that if somebody can win anybody in their team once, he can be awarded with a top-level ritual article, and..."
"And what?"
"And he can be followed by the person he wins for a lifetime."
Mu Yunfei was astonished. One of the two offers might not make people risk their lives, yet when the two were together, it was a tempting bargaining chip.
However, a ritual article was a rare thing hard to get, while a follower...
Thinking of the woman with cold eyes, Mu Yunfei shook his head involuntarily.
Who wanted a follower with killing intent all over?
It was like being followed by a zombie.
They could see the No.201 field in the distance at the moment, so they slowed down and gasped.
"It's said that there are ten members in the Killing Team, and nobody knows their names. They are named 1 to 10, and the number is the rank among them. If I guess right, the woman must be one of the tops, about No.3."
"What about their stages of bloodline?"
"Nobody knows. Anyway, they are powerful," Bei Linfeng answered simply. Apparently, he didn't want to continue with this subject.
As a VIP field, in the No. 201, the users enjoyed special treatment.
The guide at the door politely led the three into the field which seemed to be twice as spacious as the common field.
After all, it cost thousands of bucks to book a stage in this field to have a competition. Although the award was generous, many people shrank back at the sight of the price.
So the people who could come here to compete must be wealthy and powerful and the guide would naturally be respectful to them.
Even so, he was surprised at their ages.
"Everybody, this is our VIP lounge. Later, our professional colleague will inform you to go to the field of play," The guide Gao Han said gently. He didn't speak scornfully because of their ages.
All the workers in this industry knew that they couldn't afford to offend the players or audience who came to the VIP field.
The lounge had an area of about one hundred cubic meters, and the sofa and tea table looked comfortable.
Like a child who had just returned home from school, Bei Linfeng picked up a bottle of beverage on the tea table. Then he flew into the sofa, seeming to explain with his life about what a flexible fatty was like.
"I finally know what the VIP treatment is. I have joined the Star Duel for one year but never experienced such special treatment," Bei Linfeng lay on his back and shouted happily.
"Did you win a lottery? You shout so loudly," Nana stated with displeasure.
Bei Linfeng was so scared that he shut up in a hurry. He enjoyed himself and rolled on the sofa.
He was like a piggy entering a mire happily...
At this time, the door was opened all of a sudden. A woman in black walked in, and the coldness from her body instantly filled the lounge, overspreading to suppress them.
"Miss Zoria, this VIP field had been booked," The guide Gao Han's voice came from outside the door, in a different tone from before, and it was respectful but with fear.
"I know," The woman called Zoria responded coldly.
Mu Yunfei and the other two were shocked because the person in front of them was nobody but Coldblooded Queen they had seen just now, who killed the opponent in a second, a member of the Killing Team.
Did she hear them talk about her?
Did she come to take revenge?
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Mu Yunfei looked into the woman's eyes and asked.
He found surprisingly that the woman's eyes seemed not focused and empty. However, there was unpredictable deterrent hidden in the empty eyes.
Zoria looked at Mu Yunfei, with surprise flashing but more disdain in her eyes. She said coldly, "You compete with me." She pointed to the three.
Bei Linfeng sat up in the sofa blankly while trembling slightly. He knew that the Killing Team had never left somebody alive.
"Why?" Mu Yunfei asked unhurriedly and his tone returned cold as usual. It seemed that he was not inferior to her in momentum.
"No why. If you don't compete with me, all of you will die here today. If you do, two of you can leave." Her tone was bossy, like a member in the gangdom in the normal world.
The guide Gao Han looked at Mu Yunfei and the other two helplessly, seeming to beg Mu Yunfei to agree. He had no choice. It was not the first or second time for the Killing Team to make trouble in the VIP field.
If the people who came to the VIP field were like God to them, a member of the Killing Team was like a horrible devil that could take their lives at any time seemingly.
"Won't you agree?" Zoria frowned slightly while speaking. Her tone was impatient, and cold light flashed in her eyes.
Bei Linfeng seemed unable to speak. Feeling Zoria's aura like a devil, he covered his eyes in pain.
He thought, "It appears that I will die here today." Despair was revealed in his eyes.
No matter how confident he was in his strength, he would never imagine that he could have a chance of winning anybody from the Killing Team. Moreover, this one might be one of the top three in the team.
When he covered his eyes and prepared to await his doom, a voice pierced the deadly silence.
"I will compete with you!" Mu Yunfei said coldly, and great momentum burst out of his body.
