Star Rank Hunter

oup of candidates headed straight for Neo’s base.

Hei Dou was put in a difficult position because this was Neo’s base, not hers.
Before she could even explain things properly with the group, a new caller had contacted her through her bracelet again.
Hei Dou was a person of good character, and she was very good at what she does.
It was why most Black Viper members would rather contact her that exchange spits with the likes of Neo and Monde.

The mind of a Black Viper member was often unimaginable.
Some of them were twisted beyond imagination, and some seemed to have a screw loose permanently.
As a result, any meeting between these people normally resulted in a huge argument.
That was exactly what was happening right now; Neo exchanging verbal bullets with the outsiders through Hei Dou’s bracelets.
For once, even Monde was on Neo’s side.

One crazy plus one crazy equals two retards, and everything that came out of this retarded duo’s mouths made people feel like slapping them with the sole of their shoes.
The Black Viper “natives” were able to retort calmly by picking out the grammatical errors in Neo and Monde’s statements, but the non-natives looked like they were about to burst a vein.

Erty and one of the people in Orville’s group sat together as they listened to the ongoing argument happily.
Before today, they were the ones who had to suffer the abuse, so all they could feel was jubilance when the two crazies joined forces to fight against their “common enemy”.
They laughed so hard that a cramp threatened to settle in their stomachs.

Already buckling under pressure even before they returned, Hei Dou ran towards Cillin like he was her only hope.

“Please don’t move your bracelet while I’m speaking, Hei Dou.
It makes me very uncomfortable…”

Neo was complaining again because Hei Dou had moved her bracelet away while he was in the middle of an argument regarding the theory of molecular patterns.
He was now facing Cillin instead of his “enemy’s”.

At this point, Hei Dou couldn’t care less about consoling Neo.
She broke off the connection on her bracelet on the spot and told Cillin everything that had happened roughly.

The two groups who trekked hard to get to Neo’s base were very surprised by Hei Dou’s action.
When they looked at Mon De and Hua Li—the other two Black Vipers of the group—and found that they were approving of Hei Dou’s decision, their curiosity only grew even bigger.
Why were these Black Vipers with different personalities and attitudes listening to and obeying an outsider?

For example, Monde had accepted Orville’s group to his base earlier, but it was only because the latter had saved his life once.
Internally however, he hadn’t truly accepted them.
He had categorized it as a mutualistic relationship formed under the pressure of a special environment.
If Orville’s group had tried to order or limit Monde’s actions, he would’ve grown unhappy and rebelled against them.
It was exactly because Orville’s group knew what kind of person Monde was that they decided to use a milder method to use Monde and his network to survive in this unfamiliar environment.
They didn’t disagree even when Monde had suddenly asked to be the captain on the spur of the moment.

Survival was the most important thing right now.
If the boy wants to play captain, then they’ll let him play.

But things at Cillin and Neo’s side were different.
Monde was inclined to trust Cillin, especially after he had gotten to know his abilities.
However, he didn’t tell the others that Wheeze was the one he really trusted because he could see that the gray cat was making the “right” choices.
It was something to do with his ability.
Wheeze believed in Cillin, Monde chose to believe in Cillin as well.

After listening to Hei Dou’s explanation, Cill mulled things over for a moment before saying, “Tell them to wait outside for a bit.
I’ll go speak with Neo right now.”

“Okay.
Thanks, Cillin.” Hei Dou let out a sigh of relief immediately, glad that someone else was bearing the difficult task instead of her.

Cillin and Hei Dou walked back to the base together, but almost ten mice suddenly burst out from the underground not far away from them.
Every single one of them was in a berserk state with sharp spikes on their backs, thick scales around their claws and ring-shaped spikes all around their tail.
It looked like a thorny whip.

The defense system had failed!! Someone had tampered with it! But who?
