Oring Hunter

Page 228



Hey.

When the quiet footsteps arrived at the balcony door, Ye Chen's eyes instantly turned hard.

Holding the handle of the knife tightly with his left hand, he swung his right hand suddenly.

The tulle curtains were pulled away vigorously by Yechen, and the sun balcony was exposed in front of Yechen.

However, the next moment, the young man only saw a pile of curly shirts on the tiled floor.

Ye Chen looked up blankly, and then found an empty clothes hanger hanging between the clotheslines.

It turned out that this black shadow was nothing more than the clothes he had been hanging to dry had fallen off.

no baby.

The crying also stopped.

Everything seems to be just Ye Chen's illusion.

"..."

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly withdrew the blade.

Was the crying just now an auditory hallucination...?

He stretched out his hand to cover his face, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, full of surprise and puzzlement.

Forget it, maybe this round of nightmares is so weird that it is difficult for me to get rid of the shadow deep in my subconscious for the time being, and I will probably gradually return to normal...

After comforting himself in his heart, Ye Chen immediately picked up the half-wet and half-dry shirt, and hung it on the hanger again.

After tidying up everything with lingering fear, the young man changed into casual clothes for going out, and then planned to go out to do errands according to the original plan.

However, the moment he pushed open the door of the apartment, the hunter communicator that Ye Chen placed in his pocket made a sound by coincidence.

beep

Yechen took out the machine, and was surprised to find that he had just left the nursing home for a day, but the mission guild immediately announced the next day's mission arrangement to him.

It seemed that the entire hunting group was really busy.

Yechen sighed in his heart while carefully browsing the task content.

Immediately afterwards, the young man's eyes quickly became surprised again.

……

Ximan City is a town built along with valley waterfalls and rivers.

Although this town is not large in scale and is not a big city-state, it has gradually developed into a popular tourist attraction in the Holy Light Pure Land by virtue of its beautiful natural scenery and convenient transportation, which has established its prosperity. economic level.

However, the sensational rumors that have spread in the Holy Light Pure Land in recent days have seriously affected many businesses in this town.

The large-scale emergence of deformed mazes and potholes has caused panic in all areas of the Holy Light Pure Land. Naturally, not many people are willing to take the risk to go out to watch the scenery in Ximan City.

For the past week, most of the people wandering the streets of Ximan City were either local residents who came and went in a hurry, gossiping, or store owners who couldn't make any money and sat in front of the store sighing sadly.

However, today, there is a group of people full of large goods gathered in front of the gate of Ximan City, as if they are ready to go out of the city to run a business.

This group of men and horses loaded with goods belonged to the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce, an organization that occupies the highest commercial status in Ximan City.

And Tang Bo, the owner of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce, is sitting on the sofa in the carriage, looking down at the pocket watch in his hand, as if he is waiting for someone.

In one year, a lot of things in the Holy Light Pure Land have been changed, and a lot in the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce has also been changed.

And one of the most obvious changes is the power of technology.

Although steam locomotives appeared in Shengguang Pure Land decades ago, because the operation of this kind of transportation requires high fuel costs, and it needs to replenish energy every time it does not run far, it is costly and expensive. It was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it was extremely unsuitable for the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce to carry out long-distance cargo business, so at that time their main means of transportation was still traditional horse-drawn carriages.

However, as Shengguang Pure Land enters the golden age of technological development, today's Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce has also said goodbye to traditional horse-drawn carriages and switched to using fuel locomotives with internal combustion engines as their core technology.

This kind of excellent performance, convenient and fast new means of transportation has not been officially released in the major cities of the Holy Light Pure Land, but Tang Bo has already obtained them for the caravan in advance by virtue of his strong interpersonal network.

With such a powerful team of vehicles, the business of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce will undoubtedly proceed more smoothly, more efficiently, and more happily than in the past.

However, even with such an amazing army, Tang Bo still felt anxious and nervous about the upcoming journey.

Chapter 0473

The reason why Tang Bo was so anxious was the "massive occurrence of potholes in the labyrinth" that led to the decline of Ximan City's tourism business recently.

The Church of the Holy Light seems to have tried to hide them in the past, but due to the great disturbance it caused, and the frequent rumors that a large number of Olympian hunters who went out on missions have not yet returned, the people in various regions still fell into panic after all. .

And who guarantees that Tang Bo will not bump into a maze of potholes that appear out of nowhere on the road during this business trip, causing the lives of all members of the caravan to be in danger?

Even so, the members of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce had to make money to support their families, and they were indeed caught in a dilemma.

However, luckily among misfortunes, Tang Bo didn't have to choose to risk his life.

Because in recent days, the Olympian Hunting Group has temporarily made a new decision. As long as the application entrustment is approved by the hunting group, a powerful bodyguard with extraordinary power will appear in front of Tang Bo out of thin air at the designated place and time.

Looking down at the pocket watch that kept turning the second hand in his hand, Tang Bo estimated that the meeting time was coming soon, Tang Bo couldn't help swallowing his saliva immediately.

This business is extremely important in the current situation, I hope the hunting group can arrange the most reliable candidates for me...

Slightly shaking the beard under his nose, he prayed in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light flooded into Tang Bo's side of vision.

With a shocked expression on his face, he turned his head to look out of the car window, and then found that a huge light door had already appeared in the open space in front of him.

It is the unique teleportation technique of the Church of the Holy Light - "Gate of the Holy Light".

Then, under the gaze of Tang Bo and the caravan staff from all directions, the door shining with holy light slowly opened.

A young man wearing a pure black windbreaker stepped into the streets of Ximan City, and stepped into the eyes of everyone in the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce.

"It's an Olympian hunter!"

"He finally showed up!"

"You look so young, is it really all right?"

The light gate dissipated, and the hunter appeared, and everyone from the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce immediately started whispering.

The boss, Tang Bo, walked out of the car door first, walked quickly to the hunter, and bowed his head respectfully to say hello.

"Hello, respected Mr. Hunter, I am Tang Bo, the owner of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce who entrusted the hunting group to pick him up this time. Please take care of me in the future."

However, the second after sending out the greeting, Tang Bo heard a polite yet familiar voice.

"Well, it's been a long time, Mr. Tang Bo."

Tang Bo's expression froze for a moment, then he raised his head in surprise, and looked squarely at the face of the young hunter.

Immediately afterwards, under the slightly curly hair, he saw the familiar face of the other party.

It turned out to be the young man himself who walked out of the maze a year ago and helped Tang Bo through life and death!

"Lai..."

"Leach!?"

"It's actually you!?"

After realizing the facts, Tang Bo couldn't help but yelled immediately.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Mr. Tang Bo, Lai Qi is just a pseudonym I made up casually at the beginning. My real name is actually Yechen."

Seeing that Tang Bo immediately remembered his name, Ye Chen was secretly moved, and then explained to Tang Bo with a wry smile.

"Yeah... Dust?"

Tang Bo muttered in a low voice in a daze, and his brain quickly recovered his composure.

After solving the lynching incident of the Holy Light Knight, the Hunting Group did respond to Tang Bo on Yechen's behalf, and it seems that this real name was also mentioned.

After what happened that day, Tang Bo really wanted to chat with Ye Chen face to face to express his infinite gratitude, but the other party was immediately sent to the Hunter's Peak, and Tang Bo had no chance to meet him until he finished his business. So in the end, he could only leave Hunter Town with a little regret.

As a result, Tang Bo was deeply surprised that the current chaotic situation in the Holy Light Pure Land made the two reunite after a long absence.

"I see……"

"After that, you directly became an Olympian hunter, and you were arranged by the hunting group to be my bodyguard today..."

"Ha... ha ha ha... what a coincidence!"

Having said that, a happy and excited smile immediately occupied the middle-aged face of the boss of the chamber of commerce.

He took two steps back, his gaze swept Yechen from head to toe, and then he found that compared with Laiqi who was slightly thinner at the beginning, Yechen's physique is now taller and stronger several times.

Although his facial features still look young and handsome, his calm eyes silently revealed his calmness and ability, and his whole person exudes a strong and reliable aura of a veteran.

Compared with each other a year ago, it can already be said that they are completely different people.

Thinking up to this point, Tang Bo couldn't help laughing and sighing at Ye Chen.

"Leach..."

"No, Yechen..."

"I haven't seen you for a year, you've grown up a lot."

Ye Chen's face was slightly moved, and then he responded kindly: "Mr. Tang Bo, you look as healthy and energetic as before."

After hearing this, Tang Bo couldn't help but raised his head and laughed.

"Hahaha! You can really talk!"

"My middle-aged uncle is no younger than you, so naturally I have to pay attention to maintenance!"

"Come on, Yechen, let's talk in the carriage for the rest of the conversation, where you can sit comfortably, and you can choose wine and food!"

After Tang Bo finished speaking enthusiastically, he put his palm on Yechen's strong shoulders and led him very kindly to the fuel car queue of the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce.

Following Tang Bo into the exquisite interior of the square car, a brightly dressed young girl in a dress appeared in front of Ye Chen.

"This is my daughter, Tang Guo, who has just turned 14 years old. This time, she insisted on asking me to show her to the world. If it weren't for the hunting group to send reinforcements, I would never agree."

Sitting beside Tang Guo, Tang Bo introduced to Yechen with a bright smile.

"Hello." Ye Chen sat on the opposite side of the father and daughter, and greeted Tang Guo friendly.

However, facing the young man's polite greetings, the pretty girl did not answer, but blinked her watery eyes full of vigilance, reached out and grabbed her father's sleeves, as if she was very resistant to Yechen, a stranger. share a room.

Tang Bo glanced at his daughter helplessly, then apologized to Ye Chen with a smile: "I'm sorry, this girl has always been very serious, I hope you don't mind."

Yechen smiled slightly, and replied gracefully: "It's okay, we can set off now, shall we?"

Tang Bo nodded in response, and greeted the driver, and then the engine of the fuel locomotive roared, and then drove the entire truck convoy to the outside of Ximan City...

Chapter 0474 Chatting in the Car

Turning his head to observe the scenery of mountains and waters moving back quickly outside the car window, Ye Chen's eyes could not help but be full of surprise and surprise.

Leaving aside the "sky train" I took not long ago, because it is a "magic object" of unknown origin after all, Ye Chen had only seen steam locomotives from afar before, but had never ridden.

Today, directly enjoying the excellent performance of high-end artificial objects such as fuel locomotives is naturally enough to make the face of the bloodsmith hunter full of surprise and admiration, and then asked Tang Bo curiously:

"I've only seen this type of vehicle in newspapers. It's called a fuel locomotive, right? I haven't heard of it being officially launched in the Holy Light Pure Land before. Mr. Tang Bo, how did you get this high-end vehicle?" Vehicles, and there are so many of them?"

After hearing this, Tang Bo shook the beard under the tip of his nose, and answered with a proud expression:

"Hehe, as a businessman, I naturally rely on interpersonal relationships."

"I pre-ordered these treasures from the group of intellectuals in the Beacon of Truth."

"The funds paid are not only used as financial support for their research, but also to test the performance and problems of the machines for them. It can be regarded as a win-win deal for everyone!"

Ye Chen nodded his head and responded: "I see, Mr. Tang Bo, you are really shrewd, so based on the current speed of travel, how long will this business trip take?"

"We have to go through three cities for resale on the way, and finally end in Hunter Town as usual. If the weather continues to be sunny, it will be over in about five days." Holding his curly beard, Tang Bo Slowly explaining.

Ye Chen asked cautiously: "However, my task this time is only to escort you to Hunter Town. How will the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce deal with it on the return journey?"

"We will stay in Hunter Town for a while, and then entrust the Olympian Hunting Group to arrange a new escort for us... Maybe we will have to ask you to help, hahaha!"

After Tang Bo laughed happily, he took out two clear glass wine glasses and a bottle of dark red grape wine from the cupboard.

"Come on, Yechen, this is my old wine!"
