Chapter 2243 - 1737: Cannon Fodder Daredevil Team!
First update, please subscribe, monthly tickets~~~~...
This is an opponent worth paying attention to!
Seeing Gagarin, Qin Fang made this judgment in his heart.
However, there are quite a few experts who came this time. This Gagarin is just one of them, and there are stronger experts, such as the Deputy Leader of the Hand of the Demon, Great Grandmaster Level Expert Vincent, whom Qin Fang encountered before.
And on the side of the Six Major Chinese Clans, since they dare to disregard experts like Vincent, they probably have equally formidable Shadow Guards, who may also include Great Grandmaster-level experts.
With so many experts surrounding him, although Qin Fang is very strong, he is far from the point of overpowering all the heroes.
If that's the case, it might be better to hide within the team and pretend to be cannon fodder. Although it's dangerous, it's quite low-key... there might even be some unexpected benefits.
Therefore, Qin Fang and his group picked a place to squat down, waiting for further instructions.
At the same time, Qin Fang was also observing the nearby terrain and the mercenaries from the Hand of the Demon who had arrived...
"I see some familiar faces..."
Indeed, after just a quick glance, he found some familiar faces entering this gathering spot, naturally Gatt's team...
However, Gatt's people quickly found a spot to squat down, their eyes fixated on Qin Fang's side, while Gatt himself left the team and walked toward the Core Guard Squad.
Looking at his posture, it seems like...
"Oh..."
Qin Fang was a bit stunned because as Gatt walked over, Gagarin actually stood up from the crowd and walked toward Gatt. The two met and seemed to be discussing something over there.
Vaguely, Qin Fang also noticed that Gatt was pointing in the direction of their team, and after Gagarin glanced over, he nodded, seemingly reaching some kind of mutual agreement.
"Trouble is coming..."
Although Qin Fang did not hear what the two were discussing and negotiating, judging from Gatt's excited expression, he could tell that this guy was definitely up to something and was definitely targeting their team.
Charlie actually noticed Gatt's actions as well, his brow furrowed tightly... However, after Gatt and Gagarin finished their conversation, he returned to his team and did not show any intent to provoke, merely exchanging glares at most, which allowed Charlie to relax a bit.
This relaxation lasted an entire day...
During this long period, it seemed that all of the Hand of the Demon personnel had gathered here, including those black-robed men from the Core Guard Squad, as well as Qin Fang and his elite team considered as cannon fodder... totaling nearly five hundred people.
From this alone, it can be seen that the Hand of the Demon has indeed become a renowned large-scale mercenary group in the Underground World, their strength truly formidable...
And as night gradually began to fall, batch after batch of experts appeared here...
Their numbers were not particularly large, adding up to just over a hundred people, among them Asians, Europeans and Americans, even Africans, with all sorts of races represented, essentially a motley mix of ragtag soldiers.
However, these ragtag soldiers seemed incredibly chaotic and disordered, and many didn't seem to follow command very well, but their individual combat abilities were extremely formidable, seemingly no less than those top experts from the Core Guard Squad of the Hand of the Demon, all at the Grandmaster-level Tier.
Among them, Qin Fang saw at least two people whose strength was close to Gagarin's cultivation, which should be comparable to the King-level Fighters in the Underground World...
Apart from these people, soon a relatively strong and mysterious team appeared, surrounding the young individuals from the Six Major Chinese Clans, with Chen Lin, Jiang Wei, Kong Lin, and others almost all present.
And on the side of the Hand of the Demon, the overall commander and highest-ranking officer for this operation, Deputy Leader Vincent, had also arrived...
Once everyone was in place, the personnel for this operation was basically fully assembled.
"Captain Vincent, I hope you quickly organize a Daredevil Team... the Underground Palace is about to open, our time is limited, and we must hurry!"
As the leader of the Six Major Families, Kong Lin stepped forward and ordered Vincent.
Vincent did not put on the airs of an expert, he immediately passed down this order, and naturally, this task fell to Core Guard Captain Gagarin, who immediately began arranging the distribution of the "Daredevil Team."
"You, you, you... and you, assemble!"
As the captain of the Core Guard Squad, Gagarin held a very high status in the Hand of the Demon, with the Core Guard Squad under his sole command. These Elite Guard Squad members, who held even lower status, did not dare to resist.
"What?"
But when Charlie heard Gagarin's words, he couldn't help but exclaim, because their team had been assigned as the first batch of "cannon fodder."
As long as you're not a fool, you'd certainly know that the first batch entering the underground palace is absolutely the most dangerous... If the elite guard squad are considered cannon fodder, then this first batch is cannon fodder among cannon fodder.
Other teams might have a thirty percent chance of survival, but the first batch is definitely nine out of ten deaths. Choosing ten squads as the first batch, if even one squad manages to come out alive, it would be considered a miracle.
"Damn... we've been set up!"
Charlie cursed angrily, his eyes cast towards Gatt's direction, and sure enough, he saw Gatt's sneering smile of success, enjoying their misfortune.
"Calm down... We might not die!"
However, Qin Fang seemed to have anticipated this outcome, gently patted Charlie's shoulder, suppressing his emotions, and said in a very calm tone.
"Young Master Qin is right... who knows who will have the last laugh!"
With Qin Fang's words, Charlie relaxed a lot, his face still looked grim, but he felt more at ease than before... After all, they had a King-level expert protecting them, which might make them safer than those entering later.
Moreover...
The greater the risk, the greater the rewards and opportunities.
This underground palace is very mysterious, and it's said to hide extremely precious treasures, ones that even make the Six Major Chinese Clans' hearts flutter, going as far as spending an enormous amount to hire the elite force from the Hand of the Demon to help.
Although the first batch of cannon fodder has to face a completely unknown environment, potentially full of crises... they might also be the first to contact the treasures, and who will have the last laugh is really hard to say.
Once something is in one's hands, no one would be willing to let it go...
Vincent and Kong Lin both harbored ulterior motives, and although they collaborated seamlessly on the surface, they had long since gone separate ways in their hearts, and turning against each other when necessary was almost inevitable.
If the things are in hand, even if an ordinary mercenary brings them out, they would still be scavenged away... But, for Qin Fang, it's completely different; as long as he wants to hide it, even ghosts wouldn't find it.
"Though it's dangerous, it might also be a very good opportunity..."
Therefore, compared to others' pessimism and depression, Qin Fang was rather optimistic, even imagining what kind of treasure he could get in this mysterious underground palace, directly putting aside the fact they were schemed against.
"Assembly complete!"
Although many people were very dejected and worried, no one dared to defy the order given by Gagarin... Anyone who dares to say more nonsense would have to face those menacing Men in Black from the core guard squad, so the assembling of the cannon fodder team went smoothly.
Everyone, including Qin Fang, Charlie, and others, stood before that stone wall, not far from them were Vincent and people from the Six Major Families, believing that at this time, if Qin Fang wanted to kill Chen Lin, except for Vincent, no one could stop him.
However, now was obviously not the right time, so Qin Fang could only give up.
"It's opening..."
At this time, as everyone waited, an old man standing by Kong Lin, holding something like a Sinan in his hand, looked around, and when the needle pointed to a direction, he suddenly exclaimed.
Buzz~~
Almost simultaneously, everyone felt a buzz in their ears as if there was a momentary deafness... Accompanied by this eerie sound, the stone wall in front of them suddenly began to move eerily.
It wasn't just a simple move, but a corner of the mountain wall fell very strangely, forming a suspension bridge leading straight to the other side of the stone wall...
"This..."
Seeing this scene, almost everyone froze, indeed stunned by what they just witnessed, maybe many have seen very shocking, very splendid scenes, but compared to this, everything seemed pale in comparison.
The suspension bridge seemed naturally formed, yet also like it was artificially carved, not a long straight line, but an arched circular shape, yet it separated from the mountain body very smoothly and steadily bridged both ends of the stone wall, forming a circular channel.
What's on the other side of the stone wall?
No one knows...
All they could see was a stretch of white mist, seemingly unable to see anything else.
"Move out..."
But, while everyone was still immersed in shock, that annoying voice of Gagarin reached their ears.
Thus, Qin Fang and their cannon fodder daredevil team began to move towards the suspension bridge, along the circular suspension bridge beneath their feet, advancing to the other side of the mountain wall shrouded in mist...
