Volume 1 The Curtain of the Night Chapter 89 The Construction Site
Leiden District, Constron Construction Site.
Fred stood at the doorway of the Constron site, quietly watching the site.
It was still early, but it was past eight or nine o'clock in the morning, but the entire Constron construction site was not as full of life and vitality as other construction sites, but was dead.
Only a handful of workers could be seen on the huge construction site, moving around with haggard faces and bewildered.
It feels like the walking dead.
It may be that the abnormal events that occurred at the construction site made the workers at the construction site physically and mentally haggard and unmotivated to work.
Occasionally, passers-by only glanced at the construction site and hurried away.
It seems that this construction site is avoided.
"Hehe, it's kind of interesting. Fred couldn't help but smile.
Fred is a man of action, and as soon as he learned about it, he set off from the "Night Watch" bar and went to Leiden to find out again.
This site ...... No matter how you look at it, it's a big problem.
I just don't know if that subspecies black dragon is still stuck somewhere here...... What kind of impact has it had on this construction site?
"Let's go in and have a look now. Fred did what he said, and while there were still few workers on the site, Fred unwittingly "invaded" the inside of the site.
The area of the construction site is not small, and in order not to miss possible clues, Fred had to slow down for a while, while avoiding the workers on the construction site as much as possible, while carefully observing every corner of the construction site.
Nothing was found.
Although Fred has worked very hard, Fred is not a soul with special mental power like Xia Zor and Elsa after all, and he can't search more carefully, when it comes to mental power, Fred is weaker than Arnos, and may be the second-to-last in the Night Veil, only stronger than Ian.
But also if this centuries-old underground ruin, where the subspecies of black dragons hid, was so easy to find, Clara wouldn't have been able to find a single underground ruin by now.
"It's a tough thing to do. Fred couldn't help but hold his forehead, so he simply found a place and sat down at random.
Fred looked helplessly at the scene around him, caught in a dilemma.
You say let's go, Fred is not reconciled.
You don't want to go, and Fred can't find it.
There's no way I'm going to make a random circle here and dig three feet into the ground to see if I can find that underground ruin, right?
The point is that I may not find it nine times out of ten when I do this...... Maybe this underground ruins are even deeper.
What's more, the workers on the construction site are not stupid, are they afraid that they won't find out about such a big movement?
Fred picked up a pebble from the ground with a little annoyance, and played with it in his hand.
The pebble bounced up and down in Fred's hand, and was suddenly thrown out by Fred.
The pebbles that flew out fell to the ground and landed in a corner of the construction site after some rolling.
“...... Huh?" Fred suddenly looked up, his gaze on where the small stone had stopped.
With Fred's strength, this pebble should theoretically not fall to that kind of place, but should fall to a farther corner.
“...... Something is wrong. Fred stood up and walked over to the pebble's location.
"The location...... It seems to be a bit of a remnant of the soul. Fred's purple eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his playful smile was restored to his face, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"It's the soul of the uncle...... There's nothing wrong with that. Fred muttered to himself, "Uncle, he must have been attacked here." ”
"So...... Why would that degenerate choose to attack Uncle here?" Fred smiled.
There is an answer that seems to solve Fred's question.
That is, the subspecies of black dragon may have been hiding here at that time.
"The Fallen...... I don't want my uncle to find this subspecies of black dragon here. Fred muttered to himself.
"Then let's try it here. Fred smiled slightly, and then the soul energy in his body continued to gush out, covering Fred's right leg.
Fred's right leg was raised abruptly, and then he kicked it hard, and the powerful energy it generated instantly stirred up a cloud of dust.
"Smack. "There was a clearly visible crack in the ground.
Although the crack is small, it is very clear.
Fred's physical strength...... It's so tough.
"......" Fred froze in place for a moment after the crack in the ground, and Fred himself seemed a little surprised, it seems that the ground in this position may be a little strange.
"It's a little crunchy...... Over here. Fred whispered, "Maybe it's because of the aftermath of the energy caused by the uncle's battle with the Fallen." ”
Fred shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and instead turned his gaze to the crack.
The crack was actually shallow, and Fred couldn't tell anything from it, except to confirm that the part near the ground was at least solid, and not that the surface could reveal a relic underground.
"Strange...... Did I guess wrong? Fred paused, took a closer look, and couldn't find anything unusual.
"Am I going to go back in vain this time?"
Just when Fred was about to give up in desperation, Fred suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, like a child who had found a toy.
Fred's figure flashed, and he quickly ducked into a corner.
I saw a group of terrifying humanoids with a terrifying aura all over the body black, with a few scales attached to them, and appeared in Fred's sight.
The humanoids all appeared to have a few scars on their bodies, with the exception of the two humanoids in the lead, who appeared to be in good condition.
These horrible creatures didn't notice Fred, but went about their own thing.
These creatures were the same scaly ghosts that everyone had successfully fought off last time.
It's just that the number and state of these ghosts are far less than before.
"Damn hybrids!" one of the spirits roared.
"I ran away!"
"It also left us with traps...... Damn!" the ghost leader cursed angrily.
The failure of the plan to seize the power of the subspecies of the Black Dragon was a disappointment to the leader of the ghosts, and the disappointment was accompanied by a certain irrepressible anger.
I was actually tricked by this big lizard!
Fred in the shadows couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
The half-breed in the ghost's mouth obviously refers to the subspecies black dragon, and the subspecies black dragon is not a real black dragon after all, it is just a hybrid subspecies that inherits a little black dragon power.
Seemingly...... These ghosts got there one step ahead of me.
And I didn't guess wrong, this subspecies black dragon is indeed hiding underground in this location, I just don't know how deep it is, and this subspecies black dragon has now been transferred.
Thankfully, I wasn't so reckless, otherwise I might have strayed into the trap of the subspecies black dragon like these ghosts.
I don't have a chance to go in as recklessly as these ghosts, though.
After all, I'm not a pure soul creature, and I can't completely soul transform and go straight underground despite physical barriers.
But...... looked at the embarrassed look of this group of ghosts...... It's really a pleasure.
The corners of Fred's mouth hooked slightly, and he looked gloating.
While snickering on the side, Fred also tried his best to restrain the aura on his body so as not to be discovered by this group of ghosts.
Although this group of ghosts is not in a good state now, after all, they are really numerous, and the two ghosts led by them will not necessarily be weaker than Fred, they may be comparable to quasi-soul hunters, if Fred is accidentally discovered by these ghosts......
Even a few lives are not enough for Fred Wave.
Let's see what they do next.
Fred didn't plan to leave secretly now, and his rash actions now might attract the attention of the ghosts.
It's better to continue to hide in the corner, eavesdrop on the ghosts' conversations, and you may get a lot of useful information.
"Damn! damn it!" one of the two ghosts led by ...... scolded angrily for a while, and finally gradually stopped under the persuasion of the other ghost leader.
"Your Excellency...... So what do we do now?" one of the clan spirits asked cautiously when he saw that the leader's mood was gradually calming down.
"Let's retreat for the time being, that subspecies black dragon may have fled to the Bone Grove, and now we can't do anything about it. The calmer ghost leader replied lightly.
"Don't act rashly until you've confirmed the situation. As he spoke, the ghost leader glanced at the hot-tempered ghost leader, "It's still good for us to restrain ourselves." ”
"Being too aggressive can cause us a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”
"Let's go now, after all, this is an active area for humans, and it's easy to meet those human souls. ”
"We are not in a position to have a head-on confrontation with them right now. ”
“...... Good. The grumpy leader was silent for a moment before nodding slowly, but he still gritted his teeth and seemed very unwilling.
Suddenly, the calm leader frowned slightly, and his eyes turned to Fred's direction, as if he had found something.
Fred's heart suddenly tightened, but he still forced his composure.
Calm down, with the perception of a ghost, the possibility of discovering me should be very small, even if it is a ghostly of this kind of boss level.
"What's wrong with you?" asked the more grumpy leader ghost, who also noticed the anomaly of the calm leader ghost.
"No, it's nothing, I think I'm thinking too much. The calm leader shook his head slightly, "There are a few traces of other souls left here, maybe these traces are delusional to me." ”
"Hehe, I think so, you're thinking too much, these traces are obviously left yesterday. The grumpy ghost leader glanced at the calm ghost leader with a slight sneer.
"But...... It's really not a good place to stay for long, so let's go. ”
"Go back and discuss the next steps. ”
"Okay. The grumpy ghost leader nodded despite his displeasure.
So the ghosts quickly left the Constron construction site after adjusting their state a little.
After the group of ghosts left, the entire Constron construction site returned to peace.
A moment later, after confirming that the ghosts had indeed left, Fred slowly walked out of the corner.
"Hehe, it was really dangerous just now...... Fred chuckled to himself, only then did he realize that he was already covered in a cold sweat.
Fred couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Even Fred couldn't help but feel nervous when he faced these ghosts alone.
"Although I was almost discovered......"
"But the adventure was worth it, because I was given very useful information. Fred couldn't help but smile and muttered to himself.
"This subspecies of black dragon is no longer in the underground remains of the Leiden construction site. ”
"Bone Woodland...... Is this black dragon likely to move to this place......"
"Although the ghost's words cannot be fully believed, they can at least be used as a reference. ”
"If that's true, then it's going to be fun. Fred said to himself, "All forces will gather in the Bone Grove for their own purposes......"
"When the time comes...... Who's going to kill the deer?"
"That's really exciting...... Fred chuckled and left Constrang's site.
There's nothing Fred cares about here anymore.
