Tie Lin's right hand moved slightly. He didn't answer Xu Xu's question and instead asked, "Your first reaction was to run when you saw us. Do you recognize us?"
Tie Lin seemed doubtful, but his tone was certain.
"How could I not recognize the famous apostles?" Xu Xu retreated slightly as he spoke. His soul power surged as he prepared for battle.
"Hehe, are we that famous?"
Tie Lin's eyes moved. He noticed Xu Xu's actions but didn't care. He touched his face, and the pitch-black gloves slowly disappeared as he laughed loudly.
Looking at the disappearing gauntlet, Xu Xu and the bald man's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
This was obviously not a soul skill!
It was a soul weapon!
Tie Lin, who was rumored to be in the Ling Yun Realm, had clearly entered the Martial King Realm. This pair of pitch-black gloves was a weapon nurtured by the grotto-heaven, so it could be integrated into the body.
Nurturing a soul weapon was one of the symbols of a Martial King.
This was also the key to the elemental transformation of a Martial Emperor's body.
It wasn't strange for an apostle to have the strength of a Martial King. There were even Emperors among the 24 apostles.
What really surprised Xu Xu was that Tie Lin dared to enter the maple forest as if he wasn't afraid of the spatial suppression.
When a King entered an eight-star spatial gate, the suppression would be two to three times greater than normal. Under such circumstances, their strength would be inferior to that of an ordinary eighth-rank.
If they weren't careful, they might be hunted down instead.
"Yes!"
Xu Xu suppressed his doubts and nodded. He didn't deny it.
Whether he admitted it or not, Tie Lin wouldn't let them go so easily.
Xu Xu could more or less guess why Tie Lin was looking for them. This was also one of the reasons why he didn't risk his life.
"What a coincidence. You have the same goal as us."
Tie Lin smiled and said, "Let's work together!"
Xu Xu glanced at the bald man. The latter didn't respond. After a while, Xu Xu nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Things were just as he had expected.
Although the apostles were strong, Lin Feng's team wasn't ordinary either.
Three apostles couldn't possibly be a match for Lin Feng's team. Even if they were, they would be injured. There were many people and factions eyeing Lin Feng covetously, so they had to be on guard against them.
Bu Zheng, Ye Xing, and Yun Tianqi were not much weaker than apostles. Bu Zheng might even be stronger.
Without absolute confidence, the apostles wouldn't dare to take the risk. Hence, they needed to find someone to cooperate with.
However, this cooperation was obviously not very sincere. The other party more or less wanted to force them to be coolies or even cannon fodder.
Even if they succeeded in the end, they probably wouldn't gain much from it.
Fortunately, these three apostles did not know that they were also apostle candidates.
Linfeng's astronomical bounty was definitely out of the question.
Xu Xu and the other man were already mentally prepared for this, so they didn't feel that it was a pity.
Even if there were no apostles, with so many competitors, it was almost impossible for them to obtain Lin Feng's head.
The head was the proof of the bounty.
There were only two of them. It was impossible for them to be a match for some forces. It would not be easy for them to fish in troubled waters.
Although they couldn't obtain the head, if they cooperated with the apostles, they might be able to kill Lin Feng with their own hands.
These three apostles wanted Lin Feng's head. They didn't care who killed Lin Feng and were even happy to have someone do it for them.
Their mission to become apostles was to kill Lin Feng. As long as they could prove that they killed him, they would still have a chance to become apostles.
The bald man's eyes flickered. Clearly, he had the same idea.
To be able to become apostle candidates, they were naturally not weak. They were not completely defenseless against apostles. Even if they were not as strong as apostles, the other party would still have to pay a heavy price to kill them.
This was also the reason why the other party wanted to discuss this.
There were many forces that wanted to kill Lin Feng's group. They wouldn't be the only one.
"Only the three of you came?" Xu Xu asked.
"How is that possible?"
Tie Lin looked at Xu Xu and replied with a smile, "How can there be only the three of us for such a high bounty? There are two other people who came, but they don't get along with us. There are too many of them, so it's hard to split them."
"How do we split them?" The bald man took the opportunity to ask.
The cold-looking youth with the jade flute sneered and said with a mocking tone, "Do you have the right to talk about splitting them?"
"We didn't come all the way here to be coolies."
Facing Mingyi's threat, the bald man was fearful, but his expression didn't change.
They weren't completely defenseless. If they appeared too weak, it wouldn't be a good thing. If they were treated as cannon fodder, they would be in trouble.
"You've got guts!"
Mingyi suddenly laughed. He raised his hand and placed the jade flute beside his mouth. Just as the melodious sound of the flute was heard, Tie Lin reached out and pressed the flute down.
Xu Xu and Mingyi moved and stood back to back. They were already prepared for battle. Seeing Tie Lin stop them, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Wait!"
Tie Lin said to Mingyi, who had an unfriendly expression. Then, he looked at Xu Xu and Mingyi and said, "We have the same goal and have no grudges. There's no need to fight!"
The bald man's expression was one of disdain. He sneered, "You don't even want to talk about splitting the loot.
Isn't that a joke? "
"Linfeng's head belongs to us. You can take the other heads. Do whatever you want!" Tie Lin said.
The bald man thought for a while and said, "Okay, but don't think of us as cannon fodder. If you want to fight, we have to fight together."
Mingyi sneered but didn't refute.
Xu Xu looked at the bald man and the three apostles fighting with a calm expression.
If it wasn't necessary, they didn't want to fall out with the apostles.
To be able to become an apostle, everyone wasn't simple. They all had their own trump cards and trump cards.
As apostle candidates, he and the bald man wanted to become apostles. It wouldn't do them any good to offend these people.
However, they couldn't let the other party think that they were easy to bully. The bald man controlled his speed well. Whether it was in terms of strength or intelligence, he was a tough opponent.
Xu Xu asked, "Do you have anyone else?
With Linfeng's team's strength, even the five of us might not be a match for them. "
The handsome young man was Zhou Feng. He played with the scimitar in his hand and said, "Find two more experts later. Seven is enough. More people won't do us any good!"
"When do we attack?" Xu Xu asked.
"With so many factions attacking, it's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. We have to be the oriole and attack at the end," Tie Lin said.
Xu Xu and Zhou Feng didn't have any objections.
Soon, the five of them flapped their spiritual power wings and began to look for teammates.
On the other side, the Avengers were fighting. Only three people participated in the battle: Yun Tianqi, Ye Xing, and Bu Zheng.
Linfeng and the others didn't participate in the battle. They only provided support from time to time. Although the enemy had more than 20 people, the battle ended in just three minutes. The attackers were completely annihilated, leaving behind broken limbs and human-shaped ice sculptures in various postures.
"So strong!"
Looking at the departing figures of Lin Feng's team, some of the mercenaries who had stopped to watch also revealed a trace of shock in their eyes.
Although only three people in Linfeng's team attacked, and the others were only supporting, the strength displayed by Bu Zheng's team was shocking.
This was a complete massacre!
"So strong, no wonder they're so fearless."
"It's fine if Bu Yuanlong is a bit stronger. After all, he's called Little Dragon King, but how come even Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi are so strong?
They don't look like they've just entered the Grandmaster Realm! "
"After all, they're one of the Ten All-Stars. It's normal for them to be a bit stronger. What surprised me was their experience and speed in killing people. Who said that professional players are trash?"
"They just came out of the Chaotic Lands. How can they be ordinary professional players?"
"Haha, I wonder if those assassins still dare to attack?"
"They're all pitiful cannon fodder. They haven't even attacked yet."
In the midst of the discussion, many people were quickly shuttling through the broken limbs.
They were searching the corpses.
These attackers weren't weak, and the weapons they used could be sold for a lot of money. They also had some pills on them. Linfeng's team didn't want them, so they couldn't waste them.
The battle didn't make Linfeng's team stop. Walking on the plains, Yu Qiao took out a water bottle and drank some water. "They're all cannon fodder, not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."
If others heard this, they wouldn't understand. How could a battle be filled with gaps between their teeth?
However, the members of the Avengers knew what Yu Qiao meant and felt the same way.
In the Chaotic Lands, prey could be seen everywhere. The speed at which they could increase their strength was unimaginable. After enjoying that kind of extreme speed, they naturally wouldn't be satisfied with this little bit of power.
After killing a King, the reverse nurturing power would be far greater than that of the previous team of 23.
This efficiency was indeed a little disappointing.
"Such a good thing only happens once in the Chaotic Lands. Even this fishing opportunity might be the only one. Cherish it!"
Linfeng looked around and calmly said.
Those who attacked earlier were clearly small fries. These small fries weren't strong. Some were only at Grade 7, and some weren't even Demon Spiritualists.
During the course of the battle, there were quite a few people who wanted to escape. It was very clear that these small fries were most likely forced to take action. Other than probing their strength, it was more to exhaust their physical strength, soul power, and spiritual power.
The true experts didn't even make a move.
"It's already very good. Don't be too optimistic!"
Yun Tianqi looked at Yu Qiao and smiled.
Their speed of improvement was indeed far from the Chaotic Lands. However, the power they received earlier saved them at least ten days to half a month of cultivation. What's there to be dissatisfied about?
Furthermore, they were always in peak condition. Their spiritual energy and soul force didn't have a trace of consumption.
Thinking of this, Yun Tianqi couldn't help looking at He Jun.
This innate skill was simply abnormal.
Of course, if they didn't sign a contract with Linfeng, they wouldn't be able to enjoy this ability.
Because of Linfeng's existence, He Jun's innate skill was able to display its special effect.
Linfeng, who absorbed the Cyan Monster's soul skill, wasn't an ordinary person.
How could an ordinary person absorb such a soul skill?!
Joining the Avengers was clearly the best choice for him and Ye Xing.
"They're here."
Suddenly, Bu Zheng yelled. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky in the west. A few kilometers away, more than ten figures were flapping their wings and flying towards them.
With their speed, it wouldn't even take a minute for them to appear in front of them.
Not only that, there were also more than ten figures flying towards them from the east and the south. The three forces were moving together, clearly intending to surround them.
"Follow me."
Linfeng yelled. His figure flashed as he started running. Everyone quickly followed. Facing the enemy's pursuit, although they looked a little flustered, their eyes were filled with excitement.
The strength of these people seemed to be pretty good. This time, they should be able to eat until they're half full!
