Chapter 567: Like Stepping on an Ant
The twelve earthly branches are a kind of representation and symbol of the Hunter Association.
To put it bluntly, being a professional hunter of the twelve earthly branches is equivalent to stepping on the top of the Hunter Association.
Most of them are two-star or three-star, and the lowest can reach one star.
But——
The star rating does not necessarily correspond to strength, but represents the achievements of professional hunters in their respective fields.
For example, Qiduo is a three-star hunter, but her focus and ability are on doctors and law.
This kind of professional field basically does not involve combat, so Qiduo is defined as a type that lacks force in the original work.
This is also true. Qiduo's abilities and skills have nothing to do with combat, and she will only devote a lot of time and energy to her field of work, so naturally she has little chance to hone her actual combat ability.
And people like Biscuit who waste memory capacity on non-combat Nen abilities and then have strong frontal combat capabilities can be said to be rare in the world.
Besides, Kangzai, who is also one of the twelve earthly branches, is a one-star hunter, but his profession is bodyguard and treasure hunting, so he has to be exposed to fighting most of the time. Over time, he naturally tends to be more inclined to fighting.
In terms of direct combat strength, Kangzai, who is only one star, can definitely beat the three-star Qiduo.
Therefore, the star rating does not necessarily correspond to strength, but the professions of the twelve earthly branches will largely determine their strength.
Among the entire twelve earthly branches, the most typical one is Porterbai Gigante, who is a three-star terrorist hunter.
Being able to get three stars in this professional field is enough to show Porterbai's strength.
Therefore, Porterbai is praised in the original work as a man who is very close to President Netero in both reputation and strength.
This is what Moyu knows about Porterbai.
Compared with the scum of the Phantom Troupe and first-class Nen users such as Hisoka and Illumi, the twelve earthly branches in the original work did not show too much.
So as far as the information about the ability of Nen is concerned, Moyu knows very little, and has no idea about Porterbai's age, Nen attribute, Nen ability, etc.
What can be confirmed is that the original book mentioned that Porterbai's strength is very close to Netero, so his strength must be not weak.
At this time, the other party suddenly came to the door, and he was unwilling to reveal the reason...
All Moyu could do was to fight directly.
"Change the place?"
Glancing at the other doors on the corridor, Moyu didn't want to fight here, so as not to let the hotel owner suffer losses.
Porterbai said expressionlessly: "The place is ready."
"Oh?"
Moyu's eyes changed slightly, realizing that the other party came prepared.
Hmm?
The time now is...
And today is the duel between Netero and Biyangde. Isn't it too coincidental to suddenly come to the door at this time?
The most important thing is that there is no hatred or resentment between each other, and they are colleagues who are members of the twelve earthly branches...
When Porterbai said "The place is ready", Moyu instantly thought of many things.
"Lead the way."
Moyu did not open his mouth to raise these questions, his expression was calm.
As Porter Bai said just now, only after defeating Porter Bai can everything be said.
So before that, no matter how many questions are raised, it is meaningless.
Porter Bai nodded to Moyu, then turned and walked in front, heading towards the elevator.
Since the two sides have established a warring relationship, there is no need to worry about such insidious means of attacking from behind.
Moyu looked at Porter Bai's tall and strong back without any defense, his eyes moved slightly, thinking that although he is now also one of the twelve earthly branches, the only people he has always had a good relationship with are Piyoen, Kangzai, and Jin.
As for other colleagues, he rarely contacts them at ordinary times, let alone getting to know them.
Without saying anything more, Moyu followed Porter Bai silently.
The two came to the end of the circular corridor one after the other, ready to take the elevator to the first floor.
Walking from the room to the elevator, Porter Bai always turned his back to Moyu, and did not even show too much vigilance.
All these changes were caused by Moyu's straightforward acceptance of the challenge.
On the other hand, it can be seen that Porter Bai believes in Moyu's character and style.
Moyu saw Porter Bai's performance and followed him silently, thinking silently whether this matter was really related to Netero.
He could feel Porter Bai's bad intentions from the beginning, but he could also feel Porter Bai's idea of using "fighting" to solve the problem.
There was neither killing nor hostility.
There was only the fighting spirit to solve "something".
"Ding——"
The elevator stopped at the floor where Moyu and Porter Bai were, and then slowly opened.
Porter Bai walked into the elevator with his waist bent.
His body was so tall and strong that it made the things around him look small.
If he picked up a bottle of Coke and drank it, people would definitely think he was drinking a small bottle of business liquid.
Moyu followed into the elevator calmly and stood beside Porter Bai.
It seemed that before going to the battle site prepared in advance, neither of them had the intention to speak again.
Potter White reached out and pressed the elevator button to the first floor.
The elevator door responded to the request and slowly closed.
Then,
the elevator began to descend rapidly.
They were on the 19th floor, and even if they took the elevator, it would take some time to reach the first floor.
"Hmm?"
Just when the elevator passed by the eleventh floor, Moyu and Potterbai noticed the danger almost at the same time.
Without any delay or stagnation, both of them immediately released their maximum telekinesis power and at the same time retreated as far as possible to the wall of the elevator car.
Just as they made a move, the ventilation equipment above the elevator car suddenly shattered.
But a slender black shadow penetrated many fragments and fell straight to the ground of the elevator car.
Moyu and Potterbai immediately looked at the black figure that fell down after breaking the ventilation equipment.
It is a black snake that is as slender as an ordinary rope. If you don't look closely, you will think it is a black rope hanging from the elevator car.
The body of this black snake is slender and long, but its head is the size of an adult's fist. It holds a black bead the size of a marble in its mouth.
Boom——
When Moyo and Porter looked over with white eyes, the black snake opened its mouth and let the black beads fall on the floor of the elevator car, making a slightly dull sound.
Judging from the sound characteristics, the black beads are heavier in quality.
And at the same time as the sound of movement was heard, the black beads suddenly exploded like smoke bombs. In just one breath, the entire elevator car was filled with light green smoke.
at the same time.
The black snake, which was as fast as a shadow when it came, took advantage of the black beads to explode, and rushed back to the gap above the elevator car, like a taut and retracting black rubber band.
The bodies of Moyu and Potbai were submerged in light green smoke.
The elevator entrance on the eleventh floor of the hotel.
Ge'er stood here, the elevator door in front of her was pried open, and she could see the cables and structures in the elevator shaft.
There was a soft sheen of telekinesis floating around her body, and her right arm turned into a thin, soft black strip under the influence of telekinesis.
This black, slender, soft thing was the black snake that had just attacked Moyu and Porter Bai. It was quickly retracting along the elevator shaft and onto Ge'er's arm.
It is Ge'er's ability to turn his arm into a black snake that looks like a Nian beast.
She took advantage of the gap between Moyu and Portbai taking the elevator, and used this ability to send a special anesthetic gas bomb into the elevator car.
It is said to be an anesthetic gas bomb, but it is actually a poison gas bomb with toxin properties.
This poisonous gas bomb can inhibit the human body's mobility. The person who inhales it will be paralyzed to the ground within five seconds.
Even if you hold your breath, the poisonous gas that spreads in the almost closed space can still penetrate into the target's body through the skin, but the effect is relatively poor.
This is the fundamental reason why Ge Er chose to attack at this time.
She couldn't let Potter lose his advantage in information.
Simply take advantage of Porter's upright style that can make people lower their guard, let Porter become a bait, and then use poison gas bombs to achieve the mission goal of controlling Moyu.
"Don't worry, Potter."
Ge'er looked down at the retreating elevator car below and said calmly: "I will define the task process as collaborative cooperation, so your reckless behavior is valuable."
After saying that, Ge'er turned and left.
She was confident in her specially made gas bomb, and was ready to go to the first floor to receive the results.
"Collaboration...sounds interesting."
Suddenly, a calm male voice came from the elevator shaft with the door open behind Ge'er.
Hearing the sudden sound, Ge'er's pupils shrank sharply.
Her one foot that stepped forward suddenly hit the ground, pushing her tall and slender body forward. Then she twisted her waist and turned around while moving at high speed, swinging her right arm in the direction of the elevator door.
Following the swinging movement, the arm was wrapped in a burst of thought power and turned into a black snake connected to the body.
But just as the black snake formed its shape, a sharp sword light fell vertically with lightning speed and passed over the black snake's head.
laugh--!
Blood suddenly appeared in the corridor.
The snake head transformed from the arm fell to the ground with blood splattering.
Ge'er's expression changed, and she gave up the idea of counterattack in an instant, enduring the "pain of a broken hand" and retreating fiercely.
And the man who spoke at the elevator entrance and chopped off the snake's head with a thunderous sword was none other than Moyu, who was in the elevator car a few seconds ago.
Being able to escape from the poisonous gas-filled elevator car in such a short period of time and reach the elevator entrance on the eleventh floor where Ge'er was was all thanks to the teleportation words that Moyu had set in the room in advance.
This divine word is not designed to deal with this situation.
It was Moyu who first noticed Potter's aura and then arranged it habitually in the room.
Originally, Moyu had already accepted Potter's letter of challenge, so strictly speaking, the transfer of the divine words arranged in the room in advance would probably be wasted.
But he didn't expect to be attacked while riding in the elevator.
It can only be said that Ge'er made perfect use of the aboveboard style shown by Porter in front of Moyu, coupled with the relationship of "colleagues", and the fact that Moyu did not know the existence of the special order.
That's why I got the chance to do it in the elevator.
This is the information gap advantage.
It's just that Potter's actions gave Ge'er a greater information advantage.
But unfortunately,
Moyu did not fall into her calculations.
Or should I say——
It was precisely because the person she plotted against was Moyu that she failed miserably.
Cutting off Ge'er's pair of black snake heads marking his fists with one knife, Moyu did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him.
He casually glanced at the severed hand on the ground that had returned to its original shape, then looked at Ge'er who was retreating violently to distance himself, and said calmly: "Sishe, it's just a broken hand, don't be so panicked."
"..."
Ge'er frowned tightly, and when he saw that Moyu didn't pursue him, he stopped and stared at Moyou with some indifference.
Moyu casually put the black knife on the ground and asked: "You just said cooperation... It's better to say that you used Potter White. So, can you reveal the specific effects of those smokes? I'm quite Worry about Potter."
"Not fatal."
There was no emotion in Ge'er's tone, and he glanced at the neat incision on his wrist as he spoke.
Just thinking back to what happened just now, I felt shocked and chilled down my spine.
Although there are reasons for negligence, but...
Too fast and too fierce!
If he wanted to take my life just now, it would have been a very simple thing, like stepping on an ant at will.
The first-strike advantage brought about by the information gap did not produce the desired effect.
Ge'er sighed helplessly in his heart, and then used his ability to turn his left arm into a black snake, and then controlled the black snake to bite the wrist of his right hand that had lost its hand.
In less than a second, the bleeding from the severed hand stopped.
Moyu saw this scene in his eyes and didn't pay too much attention. He nodded and said: "As long as it's not fatal, then, the next question..."
"Um?"
Ge'er's eyes opened slightly, and she silently mobilized her mind power to cover her body surface tightly. She had no intention of answering Moyu's next question, but started fighting with all her strength.
Moyu looked at Ge'er's reaction and understood that the other party had no intention of cooperating.
But it doesn’t matter.
When Jinghua Suigetsu's ability is activated, the result will be the same.
Moyou raised the black knife, preparing to strike Ge'er a few more times to speed up the growth of black hyphae.
At this moment, Potter's voice came from the stairs in the distance:
"Just leave now, Ge'er."
There was an unquestionable tone in that voice, as if a criminal was being judged in a court of law.
Moyo followed the sound and saw Potter Bai walking into the corridor unharmed. He immediately turned his eyes and looked at Ge'er who was in a fighting state. He shook his head and said:
"It is indeed not fatal, but the attack is worse than I expected. It makes me worry in vain."
"..."
When Ge'er heard this, slightly dense wrinkles suddenly appeared on his broad forehead.
It's not that she is arrogant, but that she really put a lot of thought and energy into making the gas bomb to be used in the mission, but it didn't have any effect.
When Potter came closer, he seemed to feel Ge'er's embarrassment and confusion, and said expressionlessly: "I have participated in countless anti-terrorism operations, and a mere poison gas bomb, even if it is specially made by you, is not a big deal." "
"I think things are too simple."
Ge'er faced the failure, frowned and sighed.
Potter looked at her and said calmly: "You think of Moyu too simply."
"..."
