Chapter 1133

After opening the doors and windows completely, the smoke in the room gradually diluted.

Three people were standing or sitting in the room, two men and one woman. Among the two males, one was lean and thin, about 50 years old; he was Old Smokey. The other was younger, about 18 or 19 years old; although young, his eyes were very world-weary, as if he had experienced many things.

As for the only female in the room, she could no longer be described as sexy. She wore a thin camisole on her upper body and ultra-short denim shorts on her lower body, so short they were only about ten centimeters long, with two short curved blades hanging on both sides of her waist.

These three were the other three members of the Ant King subjugation squad. Being able to gain Netero's approval, there was no need to worry about their strength; at the very least, they were all experts in the Third Tier.

"This is... not good."

The woman in the room met Su Xiao's eyes. She seemed to recognize who Su Xiao was, but with Netero present, she couldn't say anything.

"The three of you, this is a new member of the Ant King subjugation squad. I have other matters to attend to and will be out for about an hour. If everything goes smoothly, we will head to the capital of East Gorteau in an hour. The four of you should get to know each other first."

Netero turned and walked out of the room. He seemed to have left on purpose; Netero, who had already lived for 110 years, had actually vaguely sensed certain things, but just hadn't said them out loud.

As soon as Netero left, that female Qiyuezhe gradually arched her body, her hands pressing on the hilts of the two curved blades at her waist.

"Old Smokey, Dust, let me introduce you. This is the Night of Decapitation, the rumored madman who likes to chop off people's heads."

The female Qiyuezhe gradually retreated, her face full of vigilance.

"Long time no see. When I saw you last time, although we were in the same tier, you were far stronger than me. Now, you still give me the feeling of being invincible."

Dust, who had been sitting on the inner side of the room, raised his head. On that originally delicate face, three ugly scars crisscrossed. He had left them intentionally to remind himself at all times how dangerous the Paradise was and how naive he had been before.

"Did Adam die? Not long ago, he still wanted to acquire Soul Crystals from me."

"The leader... died, died in a war world, but the Brotherhood wasn't wiped out. I am still alive; an adventure group of one is still an adventure group."

"Is that so."

Su Xiao had no emotional fluctuations; he had no friendship with the Brotherhood.

Su Xiao had met this Qiyuezhe named Dust once before, back in the Titan World. The other party was a member of the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood was different from other adventure groups; they didn't prioritize profit but valued friendship more. Dust was a new member of the Brotherhood at the time. As a five-element mage, Dust had a somewhat arrogant personality and didn't like to talk much; he seemed mature, but his mind was actually quite immature. However, he had no airs toward other members of the Brotherhood and wouldn't appear arrogant.

It was unknown what kind of change had occurred, but the medium-sized adventure group, the Brotherhood, was almost completely wiped out. Except for Dust, it was very likely that no other members survived; otherwise, given the level of unity of the Brotherhood, Dust wouldn't have appeared alone.

"When the leader was alive, he once said that you were very strong, strong enough to wipe out the Brotherhood alone. I didn't believe it before, but now, I believe it."

Elemental magic energy surged on Dust. The aura of this element was very faint and not considered active.

After sensing this elemental aura, Su Xiao sized up Dust carefully. He sensed that Dust was no longer that five-skill-type mage, but was transforming toward an academic-type mage, although Dust could not yet be called a mage at this moment.

Pain could make people grow quickly. Dust was already very talented and could get a large amount of resources within the Brotherhood. A few derived worlds ago, he experienced pain—not physical pain, but the pain of seeing teammates who were as close as brothers die before his eyes. Although he obtained all the assets of the Brotherhood adventure group, this was not the result he wanted.

For one person to obtain the assets of a medium-sized adventure group, the level of wealth could be imagined.

"Dust, the Night of Decapitation won't suddenly chop off my head, right? If that's the case, I won't fight alongside him. After all, he has a reputation outside—no, it's an infamous reputation outside."

The female Qiyuezhe didn't want to be hostile to Su Xiao, but she was very wary of him.

"I don't know, but if you continue to provoke, the situation you mentioned is very likely to occur."

Dust leaned back in his seat and stopped speaking.

"Rumors stop at the wise. Although I, Smokey, am not a wise man, I won't believe rumors completely."

Old Smokey held a cigarette in his hand—that's right, he was holding it, because this cigarette was at least five centimeters thick and thirty centimeters long. This thing was simply not suitable for being held in a human mouth; if it were a beast like a donkey or a horse, the size would fit perfectly.

"Then just pretend I was farting before. I am Shui, close-combat."

The female Qiyuezhe named Shui changed her attitude abruptly. She had been full of vigilance before, but now she threw a flirtatious look at Su Xiao, almost exposing her breasts with sincerity. Undoubtedly, this was a scheming bitch who liked to sow discord, and her mental state was not quite normal.

"Bai Ye, close-combat."

Su Xiao already understood the current situation. Including Netero, five people would deal with the Ant King together.

Before dealing with the Ant King, the relationship between the Qiyuezhe was a cooperation of fighting on their own. Once the Ant King died, a chaotic brawl could start at any time.

Su Xiao was experiencing this mode of cooperation for the first time. In the past, it was unlikely he would participate in such cooperation; the reason was simple—it was because of the existence of rule-breakers.

This time it was different. The rule-breaker was dealt with by Su Xiao at the beginning of the derived world, so he could play freely in this derived world without worrying about his identity as a Hunter.

The personalities of these three were all very interesting. Dust was originally somewhat reticent, or rather, it was a kind of alternative shyness. After the group annihilation event, his reticent personality changed slightly, becoming the type who could kill a conversation within three sentences. This wasn't a venomous tongue, but a conversation-killer. Once he opened his mouth, it was basically the beginning of awkwardness; the conversation would freeze in an instant.

As for Old Smokey, this was clearly a good-natured person—a good-natured person with ulterior motives. He usually offended no one, but once his interests were involved, he would become fierce.

Shui was a scheming bitch with a strong desire for possession and dominance. She had a sexy figure and a nasty personality. Her biggest hobby was making friends with soft girls in the real world—don't misunderstand, she had no interest in women; she was just interested in the boyfriends of those soft girls. After using sweet words to steal their boyfriends, she would go to 'kindly' comfort those soft girls and appreciate their painful and helpless expressions. What a nasty personality.

Such three people gathered together were already very 'lively.' Now, Su Xiao had to cooperate with these people temporarily. The one thing the Reincarnation Paradise didn't lack was all kinds of monsters and freaks with different personalities.

"Although we didn't know each other before, on the matter of dealing with the Ant King, we must not hold anything back. Let's be clear: everyone here wants the Ant King's heart. However... the Ant King is not that easy to deal with. As for waiting for Netero to detonate the Poor Man's Rose to blow the Ant King half to death, that is basically impossible."

Old Smokey extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his expression becoming serious.

"Bai Ye, have you heard about that incident two days ago? Some idiot went to assassinate the cat-girl, one of the three Royal Guards, and was ultimately killed by her in return."
