The darkness in front of him disappeared, and Su Jin breathed a sigh. He looked up at the people around him. In addition to himself and the three of the bone removal knife team, there were four other people. This was a seven person event.
"Not many people!" Su Jin is a little surprised. Generally speaking, the number of events is directly proportional to the difficulty of the event. For example, in class a events, there will even be three teams with a total of 15 hosts at one time, and there are no new people. Among them, the number of senior people will reach one-third or even more.
Among the four people, two showed doubts. After looking at the surrounding environment and Su Jin and others, they retreated vigilantly. Obviously, these two are new people.
"Old hand, please raise your hand." Su Jin didn't talk nonsense. After saying a word, she raised her hand directly. Naturally, the three members of the bone removal knife team cooperated very well to raise their hands.
Later, the other two also raised their hands. Sure enough, there were two suspected newcomers who looked confused. They didn't know what Su Jin meant by the so-called veteran.
"Is it your first time to participate in the event of hell manual?" Su Jin asked the two men and women, who were in their thirties and dressed in a suit. They looked very smart. The woman was in her twenties and looked smaller than Hanano's real clothes. At this time, her face was extremely vigilant.
The man hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't trust Su Jin and others. He thought and said, "excuse me, what's your so-called hell manual event?"
Su Jin took out her hell manual and said to the two humanitarians, "check your body. You also have one of these books."
The two checked themselves. Sure enough, they found the hell manual in their pockets and arms. Seeing this, Su Jin continued, "no one knows who the owner of the hell manual is, maybe gods and demons, maybe aliens, and we just temporarily hold the hell manual. We are called hosts!"
"We usually think that we are selected by the hell manual. Once selected, a dangerous event will be sent by the hell manual every month. You can treat it as a copy of the game, but don't treat the event of the hell manual as a copy of the game. Once you die here, you really die."
The woman was strong and courageous and said, "are you lying to us? Are we... Are we kidnapped, or are you making a reality show?"
Aside from the old hands of the bone removal knife team, a man in his twenties said impatiently, "if you say more to these newcomers, you'll die if you die."
When the man said this, the two newcomers clicked in their hearts. Su Jin could only say, "there's really no time to talk to you if you have extra words. In fact, there's nothing to say. Just remember... It's enough to try your best to live."
After that, Su Jin no longer took care of the two newcomers, but came together with Hanano Zhenyi to study the incident. The two veterans immediately understood that this should be a team.
"Captain, this incident is not very difficult. It's just a class c incident." Wu Chen showed a smile on her face. For them, the risk of class c incident is very low.
Su Jin thought for a moment. He guessed, "I'm afraid this new opening event should not have too high an event. After all, it's the first time after a big event. The hell manual will give some preferential treatment to the hosts. In itself, it's also a test for the hell manual." After that, Su Jin looked at her own hell manual.
"Event" dragon ", difficulty C!"
"The main task is to kill the Dragon successfully!"
"Optional tasks to permanently eliminate dragon trouble!"
After pondering, Su Jin shook her head helplessly. He said to Hanano, "there is not much information, but we can be sure what our opponent is."
"The Dragon here... Is it a big lizard in the west, or our Chinese dragon? Or a dinosaur or something?" Situ Jin asked.
"The Western dragon is more likely. After all, the Oriental dragon is generally a symbol of light and justice and belongs to gods. Only in the west, the dragon like a lizard is the representative of evil. There is no reason to slaughter the symbol of justice, while the dinosaur... Is less likely!" Su Jin said.
"It should be relatively easy?" Situ Jin murmured.
Su Jin shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "if it was not difficult in the past, our strength to kill dragons must be enough, and there will be no danger, but don't forget that our ability has been greatly weakened in class C events, and... There are restrictions on props."
Su Jin said this to several people, and their faces immediately darkened. The level C event weakened the host very seriously. The upper limit of psionic power was weakened by 80%, the strength of the body was reduced by 40%, and only three kinds of props were allowed to be used.
Su Jin now has only 460 points left after her psionic power has been reduced by 80%. The physical body is not a big problem. He is extremely strong. Even if he has been reduced by 40%, he is basically invincible in this kind of event. Su Jin believes that he can support it for a period of time even if he fights with the dragon.
"Good guy, my psionic power has been weakened to only 800 points. This weakening is a little strong!" Wu Chen sighed, but this surprised Su Jin. Wu Chen is a veteran who has experienced dozens of events. Even if it is weakened by 80%, there is still an upper limit of 800 points.
Su Jin looked at Huaye Zhenyi and situ Jin again. Their situation was even worse. Huaye Zhenyi smiled bitterly and said, "less than 100 points, I have to add at least five points of psionics to each bullet to be effective. If I deal with a large creature like a dragon, I'm afraid the consumption will be increased ten times, that is to say... My psionics can't be of any use."
"I only have 30 o'clock left. If I escape into the shadow, I can last up to three minutes." Situ Jin's face was not good. He had just got psionic power for a long time. Unexpectedly, the first event was weakened to this state.
"Adjust your mindset. Even if we didn't awaken the psionics at the beginning, we can still survive a level C event, not to mention now." Su Jin smiled. As the leader of the team, he naturally had to do something to boost morale when morale was low.
By Su Jin's saying, several people also think it's right. Level C events have been relatively simple in the hell manual. Before they didn't awaken the psionics, no one was afraid at that time. Now there's nothing to be afraid of.
At this time, the two old hands came together. The man who spoke before said to Su Jin with a smile on his face, "Sir, it seems that you should be a team. Since you are destined to experience the same event, can you... Help each other?"
Su Jin hesitated. After all, he had been helped by others at the beginning, but he was also plotted by people who were the same host. During the Tianyuan Temple incident, he even nearly died with Hanano Zhenyi. Now after the big event, the hell manual does not say to cancel the hostile mission.
At this time, Wu Chen stood up and said coldly, "go away! In the event of hell manual, those who have the ability live and those who have the ability die. We don't know the truth when we meet for the first time. We dare not let you join us. Go away, go away!"
Wu Chen is very tough. He can see that Su Jin can't afford to refuse these two people and simply be a bad person. Anyway, Wu Chen has seen this kind of thing a lot in dozens of events, let alone refuse their cooperation. Some ferocious hosts or teams will even kill other hosts in some specific events.
For example, some events have strict control over food and water, or other props. In order to get more food and water to get through the event, some people will not hesitate to act. Before the event, they will perform a general war of Shura field, and Wu Chen has also experienced several times.
When Wu Chen refused, the man immediately lost his face. He angrily said, "yes, give you a face, don't you?! I'm an expert in the host list of more than 11000."
More than 11000, this ranking seems not high, but considering the overall base of hell manual host, it's not low. It's right to say that you are an expert.
Situ Jin picked his eyelids and said impolitely, "more than 11000? I'm the worst in our team. I'm ranked more than 5200."
"Situ!" Su Jin whispered and stopped situ Jin from going on. Situ Jin looked at Su Jin and realized that he had made a mistake. He immediately shut up and stopped talking.
At this time, the arrogant man completely restrained his previous arrogance. He retreated to one side silently. Su Jin secretly said that he could live long in the hell manual. Where is there any fool? The man looked arrogant just now. In fact, he felt the strength of the bone removal knife team in a word.
However, he doesn't care. Although situ Jin exposed the strength of the bone removal knife team, on the other hand, he can also deter the two veterans. If they have any other thoughts, we should consider whether it's reasonable to attack Su Jin and the bone removal knife team at this time.
Another veteran is older and looks more than 40 years old. He is about the same size as Wu Chen. He walked up to Su Jin and said, "Sir, I know you are worried about hostile missions, but I think... With your strength, hell manual should not arrange hostile missions in such events, so please consider the possibility of everyone working together." After that, he looked at the two newcomers and said with a warm smile, "it's not easy for everyone, especially for the two newcomers. A class c incident may also kill them."

"Sir, the lethality of the hostile mission is too great... I can't help thinking about my team." Su Jin is very embarrassed. He doesn't mind helping each other, but any decision he makes will affect the safety of the bone removal team, which makes him have to be cautious.
The man sighed and said helplessly, "just follow me, these two friends! I... Will try to protect you."
