Of course, even those people with special abilities are not brainless beasts who think with their lower bodies. When they can follow the tower master to participate in this kind of exploration mission, they are obviously not easy to deal with. In fact, although I have never seen Cai Xiaolin and others lose their temper, the fact that only four girls can persist here for such a long time for a hundred years is enough to generate some speculation.
Of course, speculation is speculation. The supernatural people in Tianta City who are confident in their powerful supernatural powers will naturally not just admit defeat so honestly. Therefore, after some kind of discussion, they finally decided to adopt a plan: to incite rebellion and isolation!
In fact, to call it a plan is almost an obvious conspiracy!
After arriving here, they naturally assumed that all the scavengers and Cai Xiaolin and others were in the same team. In order to deal with or test Cai Xiaolin and others first, they slowly got familiar with the other scavengers and began to win them over step by step, while at the same time finding out information about the identities, abilities, strengths and other aspects of the four people.
As for the scavengers... even those experienced scavengers who were originally grateful for saving their lives, were finally moved by the abundant food and strong security guarantee from Tianta City. Not to mention those "oppressed" who had already been dissatisfied with Cai Xiaolin and others, but were unable to resist because of the other party's strength. They immediately chose to defect without any hesitation.
After all, there are four girls who are known to be very strong but whose strength cannot be judged from their appearance, and a group of more than ten people who are obviously fully armed and are all powerful psychics from Tianta City... Even a fool knows which side they should stand on, right?
Therefore, when the scavengers defected to these psychics one after another, the camp, which was originally harmonious at least on the surface, gradually began to split.
Ning Xiaomo and the others naturally saw this situation, but they had no intention of stopping it at all. Instead, they chose to watch coldly.
They saved those scavengers just because they were soft-hearted for a moment, but being soft-hearted for a moment does not mean that they are saints.
They won't say much about finding a new backer, but people who repay kindness with enmity... are obviously not within the protection of the girls!
In this way, with one side deliberately trying to win them over and the other side turning a blind eye, the original team gradually became divided. With most of the scavengers being won over, in the end, apart from Hong Gu, Cai Xiaoxiao, Cai Xiaohou and others, the only people who actually stood on the side of Cai Xiaolin and the other three were a few people who came from the same scavenger village as these three and had a good relationship with them.
At the beginning, the psychic obviously had the idea of winning over these people, but after trying several times and failing, and after knowing the relationship between Hong Gu and others and Cai Xiaolin and others, he gradually gave up this idea.
As time passed, they finally won over almost all the scavengers they could, and after learning more or less about the "strength" of Cai Xiaolin and the other two from their mouths, the psychics immediately began... the next step!
From the initial verbal probing to the increasingly severe verbal harassment at the end, and even several times of "inadvertent" attempts to create some accidental phenomena, they were all resolved one by one by the dodging of the women who had been prepared.
Thanks to this, the originally peaceful atmosphere became even more harmonious. However, for some reason, neither Ning Xiaomo nor Cai Xiaolin, and even Feng Qianxue, who had a bad temper, silently endured it without getting angry. It was as if they pretended that these psychics did not exist, and even ignored the scavengers who had turned against them.
Because of the food provided by the psychics, they had obviously drawn a clear line between themselves and the scavengers early on. Now, although everyone is still in the same cave, they have been clearly divided into two camps.
On the one hand, there is a huge team of scavengers and people with special abilities, and on the other hand, there are Cai Xiaolin and his four companions, plus Hong Gu's three companions and three other scavengers who have not been "poached" yet, a total of ten people.
As time went by, the actions of the psychic who seemed to be unable to hold back became more and more excessive, and it was no different today... After Feng Qianxue was almost 'accidentally bumped into' again, she finally couldn't help but reveal her anger, and the conflict seemed to have been intensified to the most serious level. Ning Xiaomo on this side silently looked at Cai Xiaolin, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Little Black..."
Seeing the look in Ning Xiaomo's eyes, Cai Xiaolin seemed to realize something and opened her mouth, but in the end, she silently closed it... She was obviously not able to stand the recent actions of those psychics, and those scavengers...
Obviously, she was rescued by them, but now that she has a "backer", she has become more and more arrogant. There was even someone who secretly wanted to find her and said that if she agreed, she would be recommended to become the "maid" of the SS-level mutant. To be honest, it was Cai Xiaolin at that time. If it was someone else, they would have been scattered to ashes long ago!
Although the last person was inevitably killed by Cai Xiaolin's holy light!
Among all the girls, Cai Xiaolin, who was the first to meet Yu Huan and has the gentlest personality, is undoubtedly the most gentle among all the girls in Tianyu City. Normally, she almost never gets angry, but this does not mean that she is a saint who is easy to bully and has no temper at all.
In fact, before Yu Huan knew her, she had raised her two younger brothers alone in a scavenger village. How could she be someone who was easy to bully?
And that attack undoubtedly pushed the already tense atmosphere to a tense level. Although the captain of the superpower team later expressed his "apology" to Cai Xiaolin and pushed the responsibility away, everyone knew what was going on. It was only because of Ning Xiaomo's plan that no real quarrel took place.
And now...it's obviously time to stop being patient!
123. Goals
In fact, sometimes conflicts are very simple. Just a casual word or action is enough to cause them...especially when one party has obvious malice.
After a period of contact, although the information was only from the sporadic information learned from those scavengers, Liu Ren obviously had a general understanding of Cai Xiaolin and others:
Cai Xiaolin, whose supernatural power (magic) is light-based, has certain combat capability while taking into account treatment, but it is not very strong, about A-level level!
Ning Xiaomo's supernatural power (magic) is dark, and her specific strength is unknown. Few people have seen her actually take action, but the dangerous aura emanating from the other party is enough to sense that the other party is at least stronger than Cai Xiaolin.
Feng Qianxue, whose supernatural power is fire, can be said to be the one with the most obvious strength among the four. Because she has a hot temper, she has used her strength many times in the past few days. Her current strength is judged to range from A to S level.
Xia Miao, her special abilities are unknown, and no one has ever seen her take action. Her true form seems to be a tribe called orcs from the Demon Realm. However, according to relevant information recorded in Tianta City, orcs rarely awaken special abilities (magic), so most of them rely on powerful close combat to gain the upper hand!
Among the four people, the first three are at least A-level or above. Although as an SS-level person, he has ways to suppress the other party, but it is obviously a foolish thing to start a battle in such a sealed cave. Therefore, if he can use peaceful means to get the other party to join his side, it is obviously the best way.
However, after spending some time together, Liu Ren had clearly seen that... not only did the four-member team have no intention of cooperating with them, they also adopted an indifferent attitude towards the scavengers who they originally thought of as their companions, and even ignored their malicious intentions.
This made Liu Ren feel that taking in these scavengers was just as the other party had expected, and their purpose was to throw the "trouble" in their hands to them.
That's right, in his eyes these scavengers are undoubtedly trouble. If they were not still useful and could serve as cannon fodder when exploring the ruins and looking for a way out later, Liu Ren would never have used his precious food to feed them!
It's a pity that these scavengers are just a bunch of low-class people who change with the wind. Just a little bit of food and some "declaration of protection" made them obey their orders and abandon their former "master" without hesitation!
This naturally made Liu Ren feel a little superior while despising them in his heart. It was this sense of superiority that made him more and more impatient with Cai Xiaolin and others who originally wanted to adopt a conciliatory strategy as time went by.
"Just do it now!"
Although those four people are very strong, not to mention that they are carrying three burdens, besides, my side has the absolute advantage of numbers... There are nearly a dozen A-level psychics plus myself, an SS-level psychic. They are just four guys from the unknown Tianyu City. No matter how you think about it, they can't be my opponents!
Of course, there are some things to consider before taking action...that is, this is a cave, a place that is sealed off from all directions.
Although it is not a big problem for him to protect himself with his special ability even in such a place, there is no guarantee that the other party will not take some measures to die together when things go wrong... such as breaking the ground and dying together.
Liu Ren was very clear about the behavior of this kind of gambler who was in desperate situation, so he naturally would not directly confront the other party on this point, unless... he had something in his hand that could threaten the other party and make the other party surrender directly!
Threatening words...
Cai Xiaoxiao, Cai Xiaohou and the middle-aged man named Honggu are undoubtedly the best choices at the moment. However, in fact, Liu Ren does not think highly of the three of them... After all, they are just three ordinary scavengers who don't even have special abilities. Although according to the 'subordinates', these three are relatives of Cai Xiaolin and Feng Qianxue, but in the case of real danger... it is not impossible to kill relatives for the sake of justice, right?
A worthless person is worthless no matter where he is. Obviously, in his opinion, the three Honggu people who have no special abilities and are just a burden are undoubtedly a burden to Feng Qianxue and the other three. It is only because of their kinship that he did not give up directly!
There is only one chance to threaten someone. If the wrong person is caught and the other party becomes hostile, the result is likely to be disadvantageous to them. Therefore, in this case, careful judgment is naturally required.
And it was after such careful observation that Liu Ren finally set his target on the weakest of the four girls: Xia Miao!
Although he didn't know what superpowers were or whether she even had any, he could tell from his observations over the past few days that she wasn't very dangerous... She had that kind of cowardly personality, and it was almost as if the words "I'm easy to bully" were written all over her face!
Such a guy is the most suitable to be a hostage, and to be honest, when he saw Xia Miao's petite body and the black cat ears trembling from time to time above her black hair, he had already been itching in his heart. If he could hold such a little girl in his arms and ravage her at will, what a wonderful feeling it would be?
That’s right, this can be regarded as a special hobby of Liu Ren that is unknown to the public... He doesn’t really like those mature-looking, plump ladies, and of course he is not a loli control, because he doesn’t like to control lolis, but just likes... to ravage them!
Watching them screaming and crying under him was definitely an extremely enjoyable thing for him, and Xia Miao... there was no doubt that she had already attracted all of Liu Ren's attention at the first sight of her.
'That's her!'
It seemed as if this was the only thought that came into his mind at that moment. Although he was impulsive, his rationality from years of living in danger made him calm down as much as possible. He did not act impulsively but chose to wait for the opportunity.
However, today... the time has come!
124. Calculation
Because the two sides had been at odds with each other from the beginning, Liu Ren was very clear that Cai Xiaolin and others had always been wary and distrustful of them.
This can be seen from the fact that there is always someone on guard even when the other party is resting, and today is no different... Ning Xiaomo was on guard in front of the metal door early in the morning to prevent any ghost things from suddenly jumping out of the ruins, while Cai Xiaolin went to deliver food to the other party around noon.
The only ones left in the small team were Feng Qianxue, Xia Miao, and Hong Gu and others who had fallen asleep early due to physical weakness. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity for Liu Ren!
He took the opportunity to find his subordinates, and used Feng Qianxue's temper to provoke the other party to the point where he would not take action but would also be disgusted with them. He successfully watched the other party angrily go to find Cai Xiaolin and others. At this moment, there was no doubt that Xia Miao was the only one left in the entire team. He was still sitting there, not knowing whether he was in a daze or doing something else, curled up in a ball, seemingly taking a rest.
Great opportunity!
In this situation where Xia Miao was the only one left, a faint light flashed in Liu Ren's eyes. Opportunities are always fleeting. It was obviously impossible for him to say that he had no thoughts in his mind in this situation. Moreover, he had been suppressed for so many days. Not to mention that the group of wolf-like subordinates under him were already hungry and thirsty, even he was obviously the same.
After all, he was taken by the tower masters to explore the ruins from the very beginning. Although he thought his little hobby was nothing, in order to maintain a good image in front of the tower masters, he had to endure it again and again and could not fully release his desires... In this way, while carrying out the mission, who would have thought that the mission would be completed soon, he would encounter such a thing.
Due to all the changes that have happened so far, he hasn't touched a woman for at least several months. This is undoubtedly an unbearable thing for him or them as a man.
At this moment, Cai Xiaolin and the other three, all of whom were incredibly different in appearance, figure, and temperament, suddenly appeared before them. It was obvious what a shock that would be to the team. They had been able to endure this until now because their opponent's strength had been compromised. Now that their weakest member was finally alone, how could they possibly let him go?!
Immediately, Liu Ren silently winked at his men. Even if he wanted to take action, he would obviously not directly arrest anyone due to his cautious attitude. Although Liu Ren believed that the opponent's strength would definitely not be too high, there would inevitably be some unexpected situations, so necessary insurance was still needed.
"..."
After receiving Liu Ren's eye signal, the younger brother, who also had a plan in advance, nodded inaudibly, then stood up silently and walked to a scavenger on the side. After saying a few words in his ear, it can be clearly seen that the scavenger seemed to tremble all over, and looked at the younger brother and Liu Ren with some shock. Finally, after looking at Xia Miao who was resting in the distance, there seemed to be a strong contradiction in his eyes.
"..."
Seeing this, Liu Ren frowned slightly... Even though he was considered a traitor, he still had hope? As expected, the scavengers... were all a bunch of useless people?
He thought so with disdain in his heart, but he saw that his younger brother had once again said something in the other party's ear. This time, the tone was obviously more fierce than before. Therefore, he could see a flash of fear in the scavenger's eyes, and finally he could only nod tremblingly. The younger brother of the superpower revealed a satisfied look and nodded. Suddenly, he reached out and patted his shoulder:
"Don't worry, after this is done...you'll get a share too!"
He made this assurance with a smile, even though he himself did not believe it. However, it was obvious that this scavenger was different. After listening to the younger brother's words, he immediately glanced at Xia Miao not far away, swallowed slightly, and nodded vigorously. Then, after hesitating for a while, he walked towards Xia Miao with a heated can handed to him by the younger brother in his hand.
In the dim cave, not to mention entertainment facilities, even the light source cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, even the psychics can't muster the energy, and the only thing they can do is sleep.
It was just after lunch, and the idle scavengers and psychics were undoubtedly sleeping quietly, leaving the entire cave without any other sounds except for some breathing and snoring. In addition, the movements of Liu Ren and others were small, so until the scavenger approached Xia Miao, there were few people around who responded.
Or even if this matter was discovered, few people would pick it out, right?
The people with special abilities are still waiting to get a piece of the pie, while the scavengers... I would rather die than let my friends die. If they stand out at this time, they are obviously courting death!
Even in this quiet atmosphere, Xia Miao faced the other party's approach without any reaction from beginning to end... if you ignored the small cat ears trembling slightly on her head.
Although the orcs are not born with supernatural powers (magic), their bodies have been strengthened accordingly, especially in terms of the five senses. Not to mention that Xia Miao, a rare mutant among the orcs, possesses wind-related supernatural powers. It is naturally impossible for her to be approached by others without any awareness. In fact, if we really talk about sensing, among the four... she is the strongest!
"..."
The scavenger, who was obviously unaware of this, approached Xia Miao quietly. Perhaps because he felt guilty, his movements were obviously very stiff. When he walked within one meter of Xia Miao, he looked at Xia Miao who was sitting there with her hands on her knees and her head buried between her legs to rest. When he saw that the other party did not respond, the scavenger opened his mouth but did not make any sound.
are you asleep?
With such hesitation in his heart, he looked at Xia Miao, who was curled up in this state, with her weak shoulders half covered by her long black hair and wearing a white one-piece sports skirt and a black vest on the outside. He swallowed his saliva and didn't know why, or whether it was because of the words of the little brother with superpowers before, but he immediately stretched out his hand and touched the other's shoulder.
But just a second before they were about to bump into each other...
"What's up, meow?"
The sudden voice made him freeze suddenly, and his eyes moved slightly upwards and met Xia Miao's emerald green eyes.
He didn't know if it was because of the light, but at this moment he could clearly see the faint light emanating from the other person's eyes and the faint... chillness in them?
Illusion?
125. The Master Said...
(Just to explain, I have read all your comments, but I can’t reply because I am using a computer. If you want to communicate, you can join the group or discuss in the comment section outside. Sorry!)
Illusion?
It must be an illusion!
She's just a little girl who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old. Even though she's a person with special abilities, it's impossible for her to show that kind of look with her delicate temperament!
I don't know if it was to comfort myself or to hypnotize myself, but after thinking about it, the scavenger suddenly felt relieved and silently withdrew his palm. Instead, he handed over the heated can in his other hand and said carefully:
"Um... this is... this is the can of food that Lord Liu Ren asked me to give you. Please... please..."
The intermittent words showed the nervousness in her heart. Looking at the other party's reaction, even Xia Miao didn't know how to respond... After all, the role she had to play now was that of a "lonely person", not to mention that the other party's words just now had been conveyed to her, so she naturally knew the other party's plan and was ready to cooperate.
However, she was ready to cooperate, but who would have thought that the other party would fail at this moment? This is really...
"Hmm? Thanks, nya. Let's put it somewhere!"
Not wanting to see the other party's poor performance, which couldn't even be considered acting skills, Xia Miao immediately interrupted the other party and said so in a weak but somewhat commanding tone.
“Uh…yes…yes!”
Although the order he received was to bring the can over and watch the other party eat it, it was obvious that even if Xia Miao was just a "non-threatening" psychic, a psychic was still a psychic, and it would still make him, as an ordinary person, feel scared. In the end, he could only obediently put the can aside, and then timidly returned to his resting place.
"Meow~~boring!"
Seeing this, he glanced at the can on the side, and immediately the next second he continued to "rest" in his original state... He had just dreamed about his master, and was quite happy at first, but was interrupted by this guy and woke up from the dream. To be honest, if it weren't for his good temper, Xia Miao almost tore the other party to pieces just now!
What? Are you asking if Xia Miao isn't timid and cowardly?
Please, that was a thing of the past. After all, Xia Miao was just a slave and had no ability to protect herself. Even after meeting Yu Huan, although she sincerely regarded him as her master, her character was still somewhat weak.
But that kind of weakness ended a long time ago, okay?
That’s right, at some point… when she met her teacher!
Well, I’m talking about Ning Xiaomo, the guy nicknamed Xiaohei!
You have to know that as Ning Xiaomo's apprentice, Xia Miao obviously has to learn more than just the use of superpowers and combat-oriented theoretical knowledge such as beast transformation. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Considering Ning Xiaomo's temperament, it would be strange if she could stand to see her own apprentice being timid and unconfident!
Therefore, in order to address this point, Ning Xiaomo resolutely carried out a "whole-hearted" educational transformation and character brainwashing on Xia Miao a long time ago. After successfully reshaping her values and thinking patterns, Xia Miao naturally underwent a drastic change.
And the most basic point of this change... is disguise!
After all, although cowardice is a derogatory word, sometimes it can be the most natural protective color if used well. Especially when this protective color can be integrated with one's own temperament, in a sense it can also play a very important role... such as now!
Being rated as the least threatening of the four?
You know, with Xia Miao's current combat power, Ning Xiaomo's training, and as one of Yuhuan's original rangers, even Feng Qianxue and Cai Xiaolin dare not underestimate him at all!
He ignored the cans on the side and chose to continue resting. This disrespectful behavior was undoubtedly seen by Liu Ren in the distance. Of course, since this kind of thing had happened many times in the past few days, although he felt a little unhappy, he was not angry.
After all, cats are always a little wild. In this case, as long as you catch them and train them well, they will eventually become docile, right?
