"Oh, there's no way to fix this. With your strength, it'll only hurt for five minutes. It's nothing."
Fu Long walked into the house, and behind him came a string of curses, extremely vulgar.
Chapter 14 Illumi's Goal
Upon entering the house, they quickly arrived at a large hall. Fu Long had initially thought he was the first to arrive, but upon closer inspection, he saw that there was already another person sitting on the sofa, looking expressionless.
With Illumi's strength, he cleared the level much faster than Fu Long.
Fu Long also guessed that Illumi had come to assassinate someone, but he was sure it wasn't him; as for others, that was beyond his control.
Besides, Fu Long didn't feel that he had offended anyone who needed the Zoldyck family to intervene.
The current Illumi is probably not using his real face either; it's just unclear whether he's using a disguise or something similar to a mask.
However, those distinctive, lifeless eyes are easy to spot.
Since he couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking, Fu Long didn't ask.
"I really didn't expect you to be the second person to come." Illumi spoke to Fu Long first.
Fu Long raised an eyebrow and looked around.
"Don't worry, this room is still very safe. There are no listening devices. You can say whatever you want."
"Your target shouldn't be me, right? I don't want to be targeted by your assassin family."
With a burst of psychic power, Illumi and Fulong simultaneously unleashed their psychic abilities and also used the Condensation skill.
However, Illumi quickly calmed down.
"I hope we won't become enemies."
Fu Long smiled slightly. He was now certain that Illumi's target this time was a member of Moriobi's team. That guy was really unlucky to be assassinated by the Zoldyck family. It seemed like he was doomed.
"How did you find me? We shouldn't be the same kind of people."
"Of course not. However, I do know a bit about your family. As the eldest son, you are very strong."
Illumi looked at Fu Long expressionlessly, and finally said, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Oh, it seems like we have some new companions." Fu Long looked towards the doorway, and just then, another figure passed by.
"Haha, I knew it! We really are destined to meet. Look, we've met on the airship, at the entrance, and now we've run into each other here."
The nouveau riche's voice came in before he even entered.
Fu Long sighed. This nouveau riche was really annoying, but Illumi remained unmoved.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Malan, a freelance treasure hunter. May I ask your names?"
"Fu Long".
"Bartoya".
Fu Long glanced at Illumi and said, "Fine, this way of using pseudonyms is quite common."
"Haha, since we're so lucky to be in the same group, we'll have to look out for each other."
Malank was still as outgoing as ever, but neither Fu Long nor Illumi paid him any attention.
After another half hour, the fourth person to pass the test finally came in.
I didn't recognize this person. He introduced himself as Mingdu, and said he was very strong and looked like a Enhancer.
Three hours later, no one came in, so it's estimated that those people were eliminated.
There were only four people in the room, so there was no rush. Malanke and Mingdu were chatting happily, while Fu Long had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
With the nine-headed skull around, he wasn't afraid of being ambushed.
"Everyone." Fu Long only opened his eyes when a voice came from above.
A door opened on the other side of the hall, and a middle-aged bearded man led seven team members out.
The middle-aged man looked to be in his thirties, in the prime of his life, with a curly, red beard that made him look like the old pirate Redbeard.
His eyes were quite bright, and with his hands behind his back, he looked very stylish.
Behind him followed two women, one tall and blonde with a seductive look in her eyes. She scanned the four men one by one, finally giving Long Fei a flirtatious wink.
It's my fault that I'm handsome, but it's wrong of you to try to seduce me.
Fu Long looked at the three people beside him. Hmm, they really were ugly.
Illumi has a dead fish face, the nouveau riche Malan looks greasy, and as for Mingdu, his face is too rigid, square and upright, like a brick, who would want him?
"Wow, a beautiful woman here." Malanke waved the large ring on his hand, purely showing off his wealth, but no one paid him any attention.
Standing on the other side of Moriobi was Suti, who was glaring fiercely at Fu Long, clearly filled with hatred for the poisonous thorn that had just been used on the horse.
As for the other five, they each have their own characteristics. However, Fu Long noticed that when Illumi's gaze swept over the others, it seemed to stop in front of one of the short and thin men.
"I am Moriobi, the captain of the expedition team. Since everyone has passed the test, I will get straight to the point. This time, we will be exploring the sixth unknown area in the Curious Forest. I think everyone should understand that exploration is dangerous. If you feel that you are not up to the task, you can withdraw now."
No one spoke. Morio's words were worse than nothing; it was pure provocation. Everyone who'd come this far believed they were a master and would never back down.
“Very good, Felicity, tell everyone the details of the mission, and then divide into groups.”
Felicity, that very alluring woman, then drew back the curtain and began explaining the situation to everyone.
More than half of the area in the Curious Forest has been explored and developed, while the other half remains unknown.
The expedition team's mission is to continuously explore unknown areas, record the flora and fauna there, and conduct hazard assessments of the area.
Of course, there are dangers involved, because in unexplored areas, no one knows what creatures are inside or what might happen, so death is quite normal.
Of course, the rewards are generous if the task is completed, and the rewards will vary depending on the extent of the completion.
For example, even if you don't explore all the areas, exploring half of them is enough to get by, but the reward will be halved.
The expedition team consists of six people per group. There are twelve people here, which is just right to divide them into two groups. The two groups are not far apart, which is also to ensure that they can support each other in case of danger.
Area Six is an unknown region, with unknown plant and animal species and unknown biological characteristics. However, the Curious Forest is a place where strange things have appeared one after another since it was discovered. It can be said that this is a paradise for adventure hunters, but also a hell.
Some people achieve great success here, while others pass away here.
"Alright, let's start the grouping."
Felicity licked her lips and looked at Fu Long with eager eyes.
“Phili, Suti, Lamochi, Gunadi, Fulong, and… um?”
Clearly, Felicia hadn't decided on the last team member.
“Why don’t you take me with you? Fu Long and I are good friends.” Illumi suddenly stepped forward and stood next to Fu Long.
Fu Long was taken aback. "We're good friends. Okay, thank you, but I can't accept that."
However, upon looking at Feli's team again, Fu Long understood, because the skinny guy was none other than Lamochi, who was on his team, and Illumi's target was him.
Chapter 15 Treasure One: Silver Moon Pearl
In fifteen days, Fu Long's group had entered the area about five kilometers into the sixth zone.
Fu Long had initially thought this kind of adventure would be thrilling, exciting, and incredibly fun, but in reality, it was quite boring.
For example, after they enter an area, they need to conduct tests on the air, organisms, etc., and sometimes they may encounter dangers.
For example, there is a type of mushroom that can burrow into human skin. If not treated in time, the mushroom will grow inside the body and eventually absorb all of the person's blood and energy.
In some grassy areas, venomous snakes can appear at any time, and some of these snakes are incredibly fast.
Therefore, everyone must remain vigilant during operations, because a moment of carelessness could lead to death.
In other words, Fu Long's nine-headed skull was quite powerful. Several times, the nine-headed skull automatically protected its master; otherwise, Fu Long would have been killed long ago.
The team's overall coordination has also improved over the past two weeks.
Fu Long also figured out the abilities of several people.
Illumi's Nen needles are a given; they're a Manipulation-type ability, and his strength is considerable.
Gunady is an Enhancement type, with outstanding physical abilities.
Ramoch is also an excitation type, but he emits a kind of Nen that resembles a mouse, which can be used for exploration and reconnaissance.
Fu Long also sensed the opponent's attack power; it shouldn't be too strong.
As for Suti, she is a transformation-type offensive form. Her principle is to use the sharpest blade. In several battles, Fu Long discovered that this woman had blades hidden all over her body.
After being enveloped in psychic power, its combat strength becomes even higher.
Fu Long then realized that Suti had not truly used her full strength during their fight. Although Suti said that even if Suti had used her full strength, Fu Long should have been able to handle it, but he would have been in a very sorry state.
As for Sophie, she is also a shapeshifter, but her shapeshifting ability is somewhat special. It is toxins, and even a single kiss can cause a large tree to wither and rot instantly.
If she's already so sharp-tongued, then...
As the saying goes, "A green bamboo snake's mouth, a wasp's stinger."
With the teamwork of six, they can perfectly resolve most dangers.
On the sixteenth day of the expedition, they were in a mountainous forest. The group moved quickly and marked a small part of the area on the map.
Their mission today is to go into the mountains and conduct a survey of this area.
"Stop!" Ramoch, who was at the front, shouted, and everyone immediately took their fighting positions and looked ahead.
It must be that Ramoch's mind-rat detected something.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, nothing was found.
"What's going on? What's the situation ahead?" Sophie, who was in the middle of the group, was directing the overall operation as the captain.
Lamoqi pointed ahead and said, "Someone has been here before."
People? Are you kidding me? This is an undeveloped area. Even if someone came here, they should be dead by now. Otherwise, this place would probably have a map to guide you through it by now.
However, there seemed to be no danger, so the six continued onward.
Two hundred meters later, we came to the foot of a large tree, where two skeletons were hanging from its branches.
It's a human skeleton, and it's quite well preserved; it's clear that it didn't attract any creatures.
