Chapter 1148 - 33: Rebel Leader Old Smoke
Chapter 1148 - 33: Rebel Leader Old Smoke
"Never heard of it."
Su Xiao wasn’t in the Country of East Guotuo two days ago, so of course he didn’t know what happened here.
"The general situation is like this, that guy’s strength isn’t weak, his main ability is telekinesis energy, and it’s a very specially constructed telekinesis energy, that kind of pure telekinesis energy would never appear in the Hunter World, it’s strengthened within Reincarnation Paradise..."
Old Gun spoke up to this point, Su Xiao already guessed what was going on.
"That person was eaten by the Ant King?"
"You guessed it right, you should know the Ant King’s ability, the more it eats, the stronger it gets."
Old Gun’s face had already turned quite grave.
"What type, Specialization Nature?"
Su Xiao also knew the seriousness of the situation, not only was the Ant King’s combat strength formidable, his nen ability possessed terrifying growth potential.
The Ant King’s nen ability is Specialization Nature, it can enhance itself by devouring the flesh and blood of psychics, if it were just enhancing, that would be fine, but it can also choose to strip away desirable abilities.
In the original story, after the Ant King devoured the cells of Yubi and Pouf from the Three Guards, he gained both of their abilities, and those abilities were enhanced in his hands.
"If it’s just Specialization Nature, that’s fine, but that guy is an Enhancer, pure to the point of being disgusting, body enhancement, the Ant King didn’t acquire any special ability, but he got a stronger body, otherwise Mizaki and Chen wouldn’t have actively sought me out, and I wouldn’t have spent resources to have Chairman Netero find other Contractors, the Ant King is stronger than in the original story."
Old Smoke slammed his hand on the wooden table beside him, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, he was originally a convict, his greatest hobby is inciting riots among his fellow inmates to find chances to escape, but he was betrayed by those inmates many times, if he were born in ancient times, he would definitely be a Rebel Leader, even in times of peace, he would incite rebellions.
"So, we need to band together to eliminate the Ant King! For a better..."
The good-natured persona shattered instantly, Old Smoke lit the giant thick cigarette with a trembling hand, you could guess with your butt, that guy’s spirit isn’t normal.
In the War World, it’s clear, most of the strong figures in Reincarnation Paradise are more or less abnormal, Yan Chen, Black Blood, and others are top-level lunatics, while Old Smoke, Mizaki, and Chen are relatively normal.
"Here we go again."
Mizaki gently rubbed her temples, her head hurt, compared to the sharp-tongued Chen, she found Old Smoke in ’Rebel mode’ even less reliable.
"I’m just a bit scheming, why should I cooperate with you guys, life is truly full of pitfalls."
Mizaki sat cross-legged on a wooden table, even though she said that, the look of wanting to see a spectacle betrayed her true nature.
"Comrades, we must work together, aim to eliminate..."
The increasingly excited Old Smoke kept going, unable to stop, as he puffed heavily on his cigarette, the room gradually filled with smoke, Su Xiao glanced at the unlit cigarette in his hand and silently tossed it on the floor, stomping it out along the way.
Su Xiao, Mizaki, and Chen all remained silent, Old Smoke seemed to have hit a switch, starting to ramble endlessly, in his passionate speeches, he had actually mapped out a grand plan for the four to cooperate up to the fifth tier.
"Chen, say something, quickly make him shut up, my head is buzzing already, how can he be naggier than my aunt."
Mizaki tried hard to suppress her impulse to chop Old Smoke, Chen hesitated for a moment, took a puff of second-hand smoke, then spoke.
"Old Smoke, stop dreaming, your leadership ability is terrible, and we haven’t even seen the Ant King yet, even if we manage to kill the Ant King, we’d be enemies afterwards."
As Chen finished speaking, the chatty Old Smoke abruptly stopped, his eyes widened, staring at Chen.
"We must unite!"
At this moment, Old Smoke’s expression could certainly be described as heartbroken, as if Chen had done something to betray him, something unforgivable, yet... Old Smoke forgave him in his heart.
"Severe delusional syndrome patient."
Su Xiao immediately guessed Old Smoke’s condition, when he’s not having an episode, he’s just a good person, as for when he does...
Chen was left speechless by Old Smoke’s heartbroken expression, he opened his mouth slightly, weighed the verbal prowess of both sides in his mind, and chose to remain silent.
Old Smoke continued his chatter, Bubu Wang glanced at Su Xiao, envisioning an ’anger bar’ above Su Xiao’s head, the anger bar was now at 30%, when it reaches 100%, Su Xiao might just hack Old Smoke.
Actually, Mizaki and Chen also had ’anger bars’ above their heads, if Old Smoke kept going, he might die before the Ant King.
Old Smoke had absolutely no sense of moderation, continuing his impassioned speech, Mizaki was somewhat inclined to leave, but due to her agreement with the Chairman to meet here, leaving abruptly would be considered breaking the appointment.
The truth is, Su Xiao didn’t mind Old Smoke’s chatter at all, compared with his deceased friend, Chatty Hai Dong, Old Smoke was just kindergarten-level, Hai Dong could chat with Su Xiao non-stop for over ten hours, going from tonight’s dinner to childhood bed-wetting stories, and when his throat got dry he’d eat some throat lozenges.
About ten minutes later, the door was knocked on, Chairman Netero entered, Old Smoke’s chattering was suddenly cut off as if switched off, directly converting from speech mode to good-natured mode.
Su Xiao didn’t know that an acquaintance of his held a grudge against Old Smoke, that person was Yan Chen, Yan Chen once threatened to pull out Old Smoke’s tongue and stuff it up his rear.
If one were to compare the number of enemies, Old Smoke was undoubtedly the top among those present, this was an indisputable fact.
"Seems like you all are getting along quite well."
Netero looked at the thick smoke inside the room, it couldn’t be dispersed just by opening windows.
"Chairman, you’re too slow."
Mizaki stood up, if it wasn’t for waiting for the Chairman, she would’ve left earlier.
"Only ten minutes."
"You have no idea what I’ve been through in the past ten minutes."
The Chairman was a bit puzzled.
"Chairman, are we departing?"
Old Smoke said with a smile, a hint of pleasure in that smile.
"Yes, the Mosaic Ant incident needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, aim to resolve it before nightfall."
Netero turned and headed downstairs, Su Xiao, Mizaki, Chen, and Old Smoke all got up to follow, heading towards the East Guotuo Royal Capital.
Their speed was quite fast, thus it didn’t take long to reach the area near the Royal Capital.
Boom!
A loud noise came from inside the Royal Capital’s courtyard, followed by a figure flying high.
The Hunter Association had already started attacking the Royal Palace, now reaching the courtyard area, not only the Hunter Association, but those adventure groups and loners were also taking action, battling various mosaic ants in the courtyard, trying to gain some benefits.
The Ant King was inside the Royal Palace, yet those Contractors fighting in the courtyard didn’t seem concerned about the Ant King’s appearance, the reason was simple, until the mosaic ants were completely defeated or a strong aura appeared, the Ant King wouldn’t leave the Royal Palace, he was playing chess with someone, his mind wasn’t focused on the battle at all, from his perspective, those fighting in the courtyard were mere small fry, the only ones worthy of his attention were his two direct guards.
"Let’s deal with the Ant King first, as for the heart, we’ll test our abilities afterwards, if we can’t take down the Ant King, we’re all dead."
This time Old Smoke didn’t waste words, the situation was indeed dire, the punishment for failing the Main Task was enforced execution.
