Chapter 205: Displacement of Anger and Mockery

The morning wind blew away the red mist, and the unlucky guy who had been used as a hidden weapon was already unconscious.

And that Traveler covered in mushrooms had already run away, leaving only a back view.

Siwen tightened his grip on the battle axe and prepared to pursue; even a mosquito is meat, and dropping a green Entry wouldn't be a loss.

But Siwen, who had just chased for two steps, stopped his footsteps, the reason being that he glanced at the unlucky guy on the ground.

He saw countless small red dots emerging densely on that guy's body; looking closely, they were bright red mushrooms that were constantly growing.

Siwen retreated two steps, gasping for air!

What the hell is this?

Goosebumps fell all over the ground, and Siwen secretly rejoiced at his caution just now; if he had been infected with these strange mushrooms, it would be better to just lose a life directly; it was too disgusting!

Are Travelers nowadays this ruthless?

Siwen had already guessed that this was one of the two Travelers he hadn't seen yesterday.

He had thought that the Minotaur and the 【Astrologer】 were already experts, but didn't expect the other side to have such ruthless people; although they were Fourth-Tier, they couldn't be underestimated!

Siwen, who extinguished the idea of pursuit, turned into the city without hesitation.

This mushroom freak came out from the city, maybe he had fought with that guy Aoruilian and escaped; since there were no pursuers in the city, it might be a situation of mutual destruction.

As a direct guard of the Queen, Siwen arrived unimpeded at the small training ground outside the dormitory reserved for them in the Wangong, and sure enough, Nie Yingying, Hans, and Aoruilian, who hadn't chased into the space portal, were gathering there.

Seeing Siwen return with a huge battle axe on his back, everyone knew that his action to hunt down Baixue had failed.

"Swish!"

Siwen, who had just returned, drew his giant axe and pointed it at the bald Hans in the training ground.

"Hey! Why didn't you follow me into the space portal, you guy! If you had followed me in, we would have completed the mission and returned with the reward by now!"

Siwen thought about how he was just a little bit away from cutting off Baixue's head, and he got angry.

Just a little bit, just a little bit!

If this bald guy had followed him at that time, even if he could only contribute a little bit of strength, he would have brought back Baixue's head.

"Hehe! I just didn't want to fight for merit with you!"

Hans took a step back and stood beside Nie Yingying, two curved blades appearing in his hands.

Hans believed that if he had followed in at that time, Siwen definitely wouldn't have been happy, and coming back now to make things difficult for him was just looking for an excuse for the failure of the action.

"You dare talk to me like that!"

Siwen didn't expect that Hans, a small Fourth-Tier 【Gladiator】, would dare to talk back to him with a giggle, and the annoyance he had just suppressed by beating up the unlucky guy surged up again.

It wasn't impossible to kill a teammate; it just happened to make up for the loss of letting the mushroom freak go.

"Alright! Although I don't know what you experienced, attributing the cause of failure to teammates is not what a strong person should do."

Looking at Siwen, who was raising his axe and about to fight, Aoruilian on the side really couldn't help but frown and persuade.

"The most important thing now is to plan what to do next. You know we failed and didn't complete the Queen's mission, just like the hunter in the story."

After a battle with Luka, Nie Yingying and Aoruilian could be considered to have some battle friendship, and since they had promised Hans's alliance request at the beginning, Nie Yingying also spoke up.

"Baixue also escaped narrowly under my assassination; I suspect it's her golden 【Child of Destiny】 Entry at work, so whether Hans followed in or not shouldn't matter much; let's discuss what to do next!"

Although he was sometimes really not very gentlemanly, Siwen, who could become a Fifth-Tier Traveler, was not a fool, and furthermore, he understood that Aoruilian and Nie Yingying were giving him a way out.

After glaring fiercely at the bald Hans, Siwen sat down cross-legged in anger.

Putting away his twin blades, Hans said with a giggle: "Brother Siwen, it's my fault this time, I apologize to you! If you need help from your little brother in future missions, just say so, I won't refuse."

Ignoring the bald Hans's fawning, Siwen spoke in a muffled voice, detailing the situation of encountering seven dwarf warriors blocking him during his pursuit of Baixue last night, and finally told the story of encountering the mushroom Traveler at the city gate.

Nie Yingying and the three looked at each other, all indicating that they hadn't fought any mushroom Traveler, and then told the intelligence of the battle with the Minotaur Luka last night.

"In other words, apart from the 【Astrologer】 who has been accompanying Baixue in her escape, the Minotaur who escaped in the ethereal state of 【Soul Walker】, and the 【Holy Light Priest】 killed by Hans, that so-called mushroom freak is one of the two who haven't appeared on the other side yet."

"A 【Witcher】 covered in poisonous mushrooms, what a strange Traveler! Is it that one will be parasitized by those bright red mushrooms just by touching them? What a terrible way to fight! No wonder Siwen didn't hunt him down; this kind of guy is indeed quite a restraint for melee fighters."

"No, as long as you know his fighting style, it's easy to handle; after all, he's only Fourth-Tier. I think Miss Nie's feather throwing knives can restrain him. I think the guy who hasn't appeared from beginning to end is more troublesome."

Just as the four were discussing their opponents, footsteps entered the small training ground.

The Queen's chief guard, Wester, walked in with soldiers.

"Lord 'Sun Knight', the respected King and Queen already know about your failure to lead the team to capture the assassins last night; the King asks you to go to the Wangong Hall in person to report the specific situation."

Pausing, Wester curled his lips into a mocking smile and continued.

"As for you four! Ah, it's three, the respected Viscount Graz is not here! What a pity, then just you three. The Queen's direct guards, Her Majesty is very dissatisfied with your failure last night; please come with me, Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you!"

As Wester's words fell, several people looked at each other, unable to hide the shock in their eyes.

If it weren't for this plot native saying it, they wouldn't have noticed or been surprised that such a strange and powerful teammate had disappeared from the team without a sound; this feeling was too strange and terrifying.

Only Nie Yingying felt a sense of inexplicable pride in her heart.

Then she was replaced by a sense of loss; the gap between her and him was too big.

"Several! The King and Queen invite you!"

Really stupid, no wonder the mission failed! Don't know what His Majesty sees in them! ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
