The rainforest is a humid place, and the stream is steaming. The water of the stream is not deep, it is estimated to be only half a person high, and the bottom of the stream looks green because of the clumps of aquatic plants. A strange-looking fish was lying on a pebble on a misty river beach, its tail submerged in the water, but its head and body were emerging from the water.

Suddenly, as if sensing some danger, the strange fish "plopped" back into the water and hid in the aquatic grass, leaving only a string of bubbles and splashes.

Fortunately, the strange fish slipped quickly, and just a few seconds after it escaped back into the water, one foot stepped on the pebble of Fangcai, and the owner of the foot jumped and landed lightly on the other side of the river: "Hey, can you come here?" "The one who is talking is not our Prince Kester.

"No problem! I'm also a mid-level samurai. The young man of the Sea Tribe followed closely behind, jumped hard, and jumped over the river four or five meters wide.

Nangong Xue naturally couldn't jump, but she had another way, and with an ordinary spell, a water barrier appeared beside her, and she walked into the water so straight.

"Huh?" Kester looked at Nangong Xue: "It's really a luxury to use magic like this." ”

Nangong Xue stuck out her little tongue: "Anyway, I don't have much combat power...... Ah! Suddenly, she exclaimed.

"Miss Xue, what's wrong?" The young man of the Sea Clan instantly raised his vigilance.

"I tripped over the weeds." Nangong Xue had to bend down to untie the aquatic plants on her feet. But then, Nangong Xue screamed like a frightened little white rabbit. She ran out of the creek as fast as she could, hiding behind Kester.

"Huh? What's the matter? This time, even Kester was alert. While blocking his body in front of Nangong Xue, he touched the silver snake on his waist.

Nangong Xue's pretty face turned pale almost instantly, and she stammered, "Ling ...... Brother Lingyun, water ...... There are people in the water...... It's in the water weeds...... Plexus. ”

There are people in the water! Kester's spirit instantly tightened to the fullest, the other party obviously had bad intentions, the enemy was in the dark, and the most urgent thing now could only be to expose the other party. With that in mind, he threw the silver snake into the water, trying to force the invisible opponent to show up.

The silver snake slammed into the water with an incomparable momentum, and the fluctuations of divine power were transmitted into the water along the tail of the whip, but it did not provoke the slightest reaction.

In an instant, Kester's face became extremely ugly. Unlike magicians, who specialize in psychic power, the most important thing for a magician is perception. Although Kester is only a magician forcibly promoted by Ike using the secret methods of the Knights of the Gods, his perception is not weaker than that of other magicians. However, the fluctuation of divine power entering the water did not help him perceive any information about the enemy.

"In that case, then ......" Green fighting qi overflowed from Kester's body and slowly poured into the dragon-toothed dagger in his left hand. Just as he was on full alert, the Sea Clan youth also gently drew his two broken swords.

However, Nangong Xue's weak voice broke the tense situation: "That...... Brother Lingyun, I just saw a hand...... Could it be, a ...... Dead person? ”

The other party is a dead man? Kester froze for a moment, but on second thought, the possibility was very high, at least much more likely than the possibility of an unknown opponent lurking in the stream.

Thinking of this, Kester's tense mind was slightly relaxed, and he was about to go into the water to explore, but the young man of the Sea Clan took the lead: "I'm just a guard, and the guard must have the consciousness of a guard." You want to keep everyone safe, and if there's a threat, it's obviously better for me to test it! ”

After speaking, the young man of the Sea Tribe jumped into the river without hesitation. He bent down and poked his head into the water and groped his way through the aquatic weeds.

"Sure enough, it's a dead man!" After a while, the young man of the Sea Clan dragged a man in black out of the water and grass.

"Ahh Dead person! Despite being mentally prepared, Nangong Xue still shrank behind Kester with a pale face: "It's really a dead person!" OMG! "After all, she was of noble birth, and she hadn't even seen blood a few times, so how could she have seen a dead person?

Kester didn't laugh at Nangong Xue, in fact, he vomited for a long time when he killed someone for the first time. He just patted Nangong Xue lightly on the back, comforted her, and looked at the corpse of the man in black. I don't know if I don't see this, but after a closer look, Kester was stunned!

The man in black must have been dead not long ago, he was originally masked, but the current had pulled his mask off. There was an extremely horrific scar on his neck. The sleek scar had cut off almost his entire head, leaving less than a third of the slices uncut. The man in black was well-proportioned, his hands clenching the dagger, but he was frozen in a position of not stabbing him, presumably killed before he could attack.

Why was it said that it was killed by a "person"? Quite simply, his outfit clearly reveals his identity as a killer, and only a killer would use a dagger in the rainforest with his face covered, a weapon that is not suitable for dealing with Warcraft. Obviously, people with the identity of killers can't come to the rainforest to kill monsters and take risks, and the only thing that can make them move is "business".

However, this is not the point before, the point is, this person......

"It's him!" Kester looked incredulous: "I've seen him!" ”

"What!" The young man of the Sea Tribes was shocked.

"This guy is a killer from the Dark Hand who I met him in a small town near Lyle City half a year ago!" Kester recalled, "I was in a mortal situation, but the man who was going to kill me was his mission, and he accidentally saved my life." (See Act II, Chapter 7, The Enemy of the Enemy)

"Half a year ago?" Nangong Xue covered her small mouth, although she was still very scared in her heart, she still mustered up the courage to ask, "It's been so long, Brother Lingyun, are you sure?" ”

"Definitely!" Kester pointed to the mask that often appeared in his dreams: "You see, there is a number 103 on the right side of the mask's forehead. ”

"What does this mean?" Nangong Xue asked again.

Kester didn't answer, but out of nowhere, he conjured up a card the size of a fingernail, with a black hand on one side and a number on the other—103!

"It's ......"

"He only used one move, and he relied on this card to kill an eighth-order warrior in seconds, and the other party didn't notice his move until he died!" Kester said solemnly: "According to my estimates, this guy's strength is at least in the middle of the ninth order!" But looking at his movements, the person who killed him was only a little stronger than him. ”

The young man of the Sea Clan also responded with a deep face, and he could fully understand what Kester meant. The enemy almost cut off the head of the black-clad killer, but he didn't even stab it, and the opponent's speed was at least three times that of him. Thinking about it this way, the guy who killed this man in black must at least have the strength of the Heavenly Rank!

"Not long after he died, not even the blood was washed away by the stream. His killer is just around here, and we need to be extra careful! Kester whispered. As he spoke, he tossed the mask into the Silver Serpent's storage space. It's a small space, but it's not a big deal to just put something like a mask.

The killer is around here! The face of the young man of the Sea Clan was also as white as Nangong Xue, the other party was at least a heaven-level powerhouse, if there was malicious intent, the three of them might die unconsciously in the next moment. The young people of the Sea Clan would not be naïve enough to think that Kester had enough strength to compete with the powerhouses of the Heavenly Rank.

"Alright, let's go!" Kester's voice was a little muffled.

"Wait, look!" Nangong Xue pointed to the vicinity of the black-clothed man's belt, where there was a bulging place: "Maybe there's something on him that will be useful to us." ”

Nangong Xue actually learned to search for dead bodies, but Kester didn't react for a while. However, the young man of the Sea Clan had already grabbed ahead of him, touched the belt of the man in black, and pulled out a killer mission from it.

"What's written on it?" Kester leaned over.

"There is only one person's information, and it is estimated that he is the target of this killer."

Kester took over the killer mission, only to see that it was written: "Target level: S-class, defector of the organization, heavenly level, make good use of empty ......" The words behind it were blurred by water, and it was no longer clear.

"The Dark Hand hunts down traitors? There is such a thing. Kester was surprised, but secretly remembered in his heart.

"It seems that we are going to speed up our actions, let's hurry up, we must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible after finding the Weeping Fruit." Kester stood up with his chin propped up.

"Good!"

**********

An hour later, under a towering tree.

"The weeping fruit is on this tree!" Nangong Xue carefully put away the herb sensor.

Kesworth nodded, "We need to be careful when we look for it, don't wake it up......"

"Don't be careful." The Sea Clan youth smiled bitterly and pointed to the treetops: "It's right there, and it's awake!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the baby's cry rang out. The sound was so penetrating that Kester had no doubt that it could be heard clearly from miles away.

Kester and Nangong Xue followed the cry and saw a fruit that looked like a small baby, hanging from a vine rooted in the treetops. No one would believe it when it is said to be a fruit, because its little head-like part has three eyes and a mouth! This is the Demon Plant Crying Fruit, a kind of life in the middle form of a demonic beast and a plant.

At this moment, the three eyes and mouth of the weeping fruit were wide open, and the baby-like cry continued to spread around the weeping fruit, and this cry was so abrupt in the rainforest that Kester couldn't help but feel that the atmosphere here was a little weird.
