Chapter 725

~8 min read 1,466 words

Hearing Su Xiao's question, Brother No-Umbrella sat upright on the hospital bed.

"Have you heard of the Blood Gate Adventure Group?"

Brother No-Umbrella's first sentence let Su Xiao know what was going on. The revenge of the Blood Gate Adventure Group leader, Stan, had arrived.

"Had some grudges before."

"Some... grudges? That is to say, they came to take revenge on you?! "

Brother No-Umbrella's face looked a bit ugly. He was caught in the crossfire. Seeing Su Xiao's relaxed expression, Brother No-Umbrella was depressed. The main target who should have been hunted was safe and sound, while he, who was caught in the crossfire, was hunted to the point of being half-dead.

"What grudge do you have with them?"

Brother No-Umbrella sighed. At this point, complaining was useless, and Su Xiao had just saved his life.

"Regarding the grudges..."

Su Xiao and Brother No-Umbrella briefly introduced his grudge with the Blood Gate. Brother No-Umbrella was a bit confused after hearing it.

"Just this little grudge... Stan actually sent Huang Fen to hunt you down? Is his brain water-logged?"

"This is also where I am confused."

Su Xiao didn't reveal one point to Brother No-Umbrella, which was that his number could not be tracked, so the cost of tracking was higher.

"So, we are teaming up now?"

Brother No-Umbrella untied the bandages on his body. This guy's vitality was abnormally strong; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to escape Huang Fen's two pursuits.

"Yes, otherwise why would I save you? Speaking of which, do those three have tracking means?"

"Yes, among the three, a woman named Die has a familiar..."

Brother No-Umbrella stopped halfway through his sentence.

"Specific characteristics of the familiar."

"......"

Su Xiao found that Brother No-Umbrella didn't respond, so he looked up at the other party.

"It's just this kind of familiar, holy sh*t!"

Brother No-Umbrella pointed to the window. On the glass outside the window, a colorful butterfly was crawling.

"They caught up. How to get rid of this thing? It's too obstructive to combat."

Brother No-Umbrella pointed to the catheter on his abdomen. The catheter was connected to an iron box. Su Xiao walked up and, amidst Brother No-Umbrella's screams, pulled the catheter off directly.

"Is this really okay? Why do I feel a bit dizzy."

"It's okay, it's just the Hashirama cells remaining in your body fighting back against you."

Su Xiao contacted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, letting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang take Matou Sakura to hide.

That palm-sized colorful butterfly danced outside the window. Zhan Long Shan appeared in Su Xiao's hand, and the Apostle's Eye floated in mid-air, guarding the surrounding situation at all times.

"Hashirama cells'... backlash?! What are the risks!"

"Turning into a tree,"

Su Xiao's expression was calm, but Brother No-Umbrella's fur stood on end.

"What!"

Brother No-Umbrella was shocked. He immediately recalled a scene, which was the scene of Danzo Shimura turning into wood before dying in the Naruto world.

"Just like Danzo?"

"No."

Su Xiao's reply made Brother No-Umbrella breathe a sigh of relief, but Su Xiao's next words made Brother No-Umbrella's face look like dead ash.

"Orochimaru transplanted Hashirama's cells after his death to Danzo, while what you have in your body are Hashirama's cells before his death. The activity of the two is different. If you say..."

"Wait, simply put?"

Brother No-Umbrella swallowed his saliva, his gaze seemingly saying: 'Brother, I have a cute daughter waiting for me, I have to live.'

"Simply put, when that kind of Hashirama cell in Danzo erupted, there was a chance to resist a bit. As for the Hashirama cells in your body, after a few seconds of eruption, you will turn into a tree, a very, very tall one."

Su Xiao held his sword and came to the window. At this time, it was noon, and there was no one in the villa courtyard.

"That is to say, I will die at any time now?"

Brother No-Umbrella's mouth twitched, his gaze looking at his lower abdomen.

"You can understand it that way. The catheter implanted in your abdomen earlier was used to suppress the Hashirama cells. Since you asked to take it off yourself..."

Su Xiao's words made Brother No-Umbrella stunned.

"Well, how about transplanting it back for me? I regret it. Holding that iron box is actually not bad, and it can defend against vital points at critical moments."

"Okay."

After Su Xiao found that there were no enemies near the villa for the time being, he picked up the iron box with the catheter and walked toward Brother No-Umbrella, stabbing the catheter with iron thorns at the tip into Brother No-Umbrella's abdomen.

"Hey, won't this be too rash? Stabbing it in raw!"

Pfft.

Brother No-Umbrella grinned in pain.

"Hold it."

Su Xiao handed over the iron box. At this moment, Brother No-Umbrella's face was full of despair. He could only tie the iron box to his abdomen, seemingly this small box was his destination.

Although Brother No-Umbrella was a wild main tank, he didn't use shields and the like, but wore a pair of heavy metal gauntlets. The gauntlets wrapped all the way to his forearms, and each gauntlet was as thick as a torso.

Brother No-Umbrella didn't need a shield at all. Two gauntlets blocking in front were a shield, and the gauntlets were more flexible than a shield, which could be used to attack or bind enemies.

Steam rose on the gauntlets, and Brother No-Umbrella moved his shoulders.

"Have you determined the escape route?"

Brother No-Umbrella leaned to the window, looking at the empty courtyard.

"Why escape?"

Su Xiao was a bit confused.

"Shouldn't we escape? The other party is a Third Tier contractor, one tier higher than me!"

"So what?"

Su Xiao didn't care what tier the other party was. Without fighting head-on, he would never escape before fighting. Besides, escaping now didn't make much sense.

"Big brother, I'll call you big brother, okay? We are not escaping, but a strategic retreat."

Su Xiao was unmoved. He urgently wanted to know if he could fight those three high-tier contractors head-on. Escaping all the time was unwise; he would be caught up sooner or later. Brother No-Umbrella's miserable state earlier was the best proof.

"If the enemy is three people, you can hold one back, right?"

"No... no problem."

Seeing that Su Xiao had made up his mind not to escape, Brother No-Umbrella sighed. Escaping alone was also a dead end, so it was better to stay and fight. Besides, he had been escaping for a long time, and there was a stuffy feeling in his chest.

"Roar!"

An angry roar came from the villa courtyard. Su Xiao looked closely, and it was actually the 'Berserker' Matou Kariya.

"Why didn't this guy retreat?"

According to normal circumstances, Matou Kariya should have been hiding in the dark with Matou Sakura.

"Roar!"

Matou Kariya let out an angry roar again. His gaze looked at Su Xiao on the second floor. At this time, Matou Kariya, whose whole body was emitting black smoke, was a bit wrong, and pink light was shining from those eyes.

"Is that a Heroic Spirit?"

Brother No-Umbrella had never seen the modified Matou Kariya.

"This is Matou Kariya. You can understand him as a Master version of a Berserker."

"How is his strength?"

"Not great, but very resistant to beating."

"That's good."

Brother No-Umbrella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now he is an enemy, controlled by that woman named Die, the charm-specialized contractor I mentioned earlier. Although she is charm-specialized, her melee ability is extremely strong."

Su Xiao nodded. If it weren't for Matou Sakura, Matou Kariya being controlled would be a very troublesome situation.

Matou Kariya, covered in black smoke, stood in the courtyard. Strangely, those three high-tier contractors did not appear.

Dense footsteps came. Civilians with dull expressions walked from all directions. These civilians were about dozens of people, and pink light shone in their eyes. Importantly, their whole bodies were tied with bombs.

These civilians surrounded the villa. Matou Kariya in front let out an angry roar, and those civilians looked up at the villa direction at the same time.

"This kind of low-class means... Huang Fen is not here?"

Brother No-Umbrella seemed to think of something, a smile appearing on his face.

"Bai Ye, I thought of a possibility. If that possibility is true, today might be our hope for a comeback."

"What possibility?"

After Brother No-Umbrella muttered a few words in a low voice, Su Xiao's eyes shone with strange light.

"Are you sure?"

"Not very sure, but there is more than 60% certainty. I know Huang Fen a bit. That guy wouldn't create this kind of formation. If he were here, this villa would have been burned to the ground long ago."
