Chapter 821: Peers are enemies
"Roaring !!!"
The manticore was apparently not too badly injured by the huge fireball, and soon staggered out from under the collapsed container, letting out a roar full of anger and pain.
In particular, you can see a faint black flame burning at the end of the bat-like wings, and all the steel plates that come into contact with it melt into bright red molten iron in just a few seconds.
"Oh oh my God! it ...... It's not dead yet?" Elizabeth looked incredulous, her mouth wide open.
"No, the manticore doesn't die that easily, and I don't plan to kill it. ”
With that, Zhang Cheng gently pushed the girl aside, looking at this magical creature that had survived from the distant mythological era to the present day with great interest.
There was no doubt that this was the first time he had seen a manticore, and it was a young manticore that was far from its prime.
However, judging from the attack power, vitality and special magic abilities that the other party has shown so far, even if it is not as good as a giant dragon and a giant beast that can stand at the top of the food chain in any fantasy world, it will not be much worse than that.
Especially after being injured, the black flame wrapped around the end of the wings is completely a high-level use of magical energy, and it is estimated that there are at least thousands of degrees of high temperature, and there is absolutely no chance of survival if a normal person accidentally touches it.
"Be careful! It's not just the Manticore, there's some pretty vicious bastards. Elizabeth glanced at the abnormally large number of seabirds around her, and cautioned her.
"Hehe, relax, have you forgotten who I am, not to mention that this is New York, my territory ......"
As a person who likes to be vigilant at all times, how could Zhang Cheng not notice the seabirds standing densely around him.
It's just that for him now, he doesn't need to care too much about these small things that can't be put on the table, at best, they can only be regarded as small games to pass the boring time.
For Abraham Boroman, of course, the opposite is true.
If you want to find a reference for the smuggling activities he is engaged in, it is equivalent to the gang boss engaged in illegal drug trafficking and arms trading in New York.
And because a lot of income can't be put on the surface, it's still a "tax evader", that is, he doesn't pay enough quota of taxes to his superior lord.
Once this behavior is exposed, then he will face not only the punishment of the Supreme Council, but also the fury of the higher lords.
If nothing else, it is estimated that they will not wait for the arrival of the envoy of the Supreme Council, and they will be torn to pieces by the superior lord first.
After all, the lords of the underworld are not the legislators and politicians of the United States, who will defend their rights and dignity with blood and death.
Above all, if the crisis is not resolved, Abraham Borroman's violent smuggling network will quickly fall apart, and his men will never again obey orders as unconditionally as before.
So even in order to maintain his authority, he had to grit his teeth and yell at his subordinates in the office: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and follow me to deal with the intruders?"
The words just fell!
He immediately jumped out of the window, turned into a huge bald eagle, and flew straight towards the scene of the incident.
"Damn it! Quick! Get moving! If the intruders escape this time, we'll be all done. ”
Another middle-aged man next to him also quickly reacted, grabbing a blowpipe engraved with dense ancient patterns and symbols and following closely behind.
It's not how loyal he is, it's that whoever does this business, as long as one is caught, the rest will often suffer, and no one can escape.
In a few moments, these outlaws from the underworld surrounded the scene from all sides, and at the same time, with the help of supernatural forces, they drove away the dock staff and security guards who rushed to deal with the sudden situation.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Abraham Borroman turned back into his human form, stared condescendingly at Zhang Cheng, who had subdued the manticore, and squinted his eyes and said tentatively: "Who are you? Why are you here to disturb my business?
"Employer, dear, I think that's up to you, don't you?" Zhang Cheng gently stroked the thick hair on the manticore's head, turned to look at the girl beside him.
"Uh...... Does it matter if I tell the employer?" Elizabeth blinked, a little uncertain.
Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "It's okay! Believe me, the guy who hired you is not a good person, if he guesses correctly, he should be doing much different from this gentleman." ”
"What do you mean...... I've been taken advantage of?!!" Elizabeth was clearly not stupid, and immediately realized the dirty tricks behind the whole thing.
"Fake! I know who it is! You were sent by that old fellow from Nazes!"
Although the girl has not yet said the name of the publisher of the mission, Abraham Boroman was the first to guess the answer.
As the so-called peers are enemies, there are only two forces in the whole of New York that are doing this kind of high-profit, high-risk business, and with a little hint, he can immediately follow the clues to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Nazes?ah, that half-blood kraken that smells of rotten fish and shrimp all over his body. Zhang Cheng recalled it a little and immediately found the corresponding information in his mind.
To be exact, he had only met the other party once, or when he was paying his taxes.
"You're all in this together! Get rid of these two idiots! Show old Nazes what it costs us to provoke us!"
Abraham Boroman didn't know how many pictures he had made up in his head, so he immediately gave the order to attack without hesitation.
He himself raised his hands in the air, and with the help of the druid's innate close connection with nature, a large black cloud gathered over the dock in just a dozen seconds.
It can be vaguely seen that inside the tumbling clouds, a dazzling electric arc is rolling up and down, and it may fall down at any time to indiscriminately cover the ground.
"Die!" a black man rushed to the front, suddenly opening his mouth and spewing out a dark green viscous liquid like bile.
"Shet!" Elizabeth was obviously disgusted, and immediately manipulated the witch's unique mental power, raised a steel pipe the thickness of an arm next to her, and smashed the other party two or three meters away with a bang.
However, the dark green viscous liquid also sprayed the steel pipe, and suddenly made a creepy sound.
I saw that the strong steel pipe was corroded and broken in two in a few seconds......
