Chapter 23: The Mark of Vengeance
There were dozens of people who came, including public servants wearing yamen uniforms, and there were also demon suppression division personnel wearing the uniforms of the Demon Suppression Division. There are also a few people who are actually wearing the uniforms of the Extreme Fist Martial Arts Gym, and one of them is Tie Lin.
The first two groups of people were able to appear, and Ma Teng could still understand that most of them were notified by Zhang Yuanguang by phone before. And he couldn't figure out why the people from the Extreme Fist Martial Arts Hall appeared here.
But soon he knew the answer.
"Who are you and why are you here?" A black-faced man from the Demon Suppression Division walked up to Ma Teng first, looked at the corpses of the bifid wolf and Zhang Yuanguang on the ground and asked loudly.
In the face of questioning, Ma Teng was not in a hurry, and reached out and took out the certificate issued by the Demon Hunter Association from his trouser pocket, which was actually the backpack of the system.
The black-faced man opened it and gave it back to Ma Teng.
"Witcher? Why are you here? Can you explain? ”
"I'm a friend of this man, and I rushed over when I received his distress call, but unfortunately I was still a step late." Glancing at Zhang Yuanguang's corpse on the ground, Ma Teng was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After listening to Ma Teng's explanation, the black-faced man nodded. "And you killed this bifid wolf?"
"That's right, it's me." didn't intend to hide it, Ma Teng generously admitted it.
"Yes, Chen Zhangqi, I know Mr. Li, he and the deceased are indeed friends, and he is also friends with me."
Just when Ma Teng was communicating with the black-faced man, Tie Lin on the side suddenly walked over.
"Since Coach Tielin knows, it's fine. This time, the two bifid wolves have been killed by you, so we will go back. ”
Saying that, the black-faced man of the Demon Suppression Division was about to turn around and leave. However, at this time, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stared at Ma Teng with a serious expression.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, you may have been stained with the vengeance mark of the wolf demon clan, and if you don't handle it well, you may usher in their endless revenge."
After speaking, without waiting for Ma Teng to ask, the black-faced man turned around and left with the group of people from the Demon Suppression Division. The public servants of the yamen also went to deal with the follow-up matters. By the way, Zhang Yuanguang's body was carried away. As for the corpse of the bifid wolf, according to the rules, this is the trophy that belongs to Ma Teng.
Soon only Ma Teng and a few people from the Jiquan Martial Arts Gym were left at the scene.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to progress so fast, and he could already kill the Qingtong-level monster in such a short period of time." With a hypocritical smile on his face, Tie Lin complimented.
"Coach Tielin has an overreputation, it's just a fluke. Just don't know why Coach Tielin is here? "Ma Teng is not a sycophant person, he only cares about the reason why Tie Lin is here. It can't be a coincidence.
"I have a property here, I happened to be here tonight, and I was also attacked by the bifid wolf, and I rushed here after I got rid of it, but unfortunately I was still late, hey, if I could have come earlier, maybe Mr. Zhang wouldn't."
Hearing Tie Lin's words, Ma Teng was stunned for a moment.
"You've been attacked by a duofid wolf too?"
"Yes, it was probably less than an hour ago, maybe because I was also involved in the previous hunt for the bifid wolf, and I accidentally got the mark of revenge on my body." Tie Lin recalled slightly, as if he hadn't killed a monster.
Hearing the mark of revenge twice in a row, Ma Teng couldn't help but be curious about it.
"Can Coach Tielin explain what the exact mark of revenge is?"
Tie Lin suddenly showed a look of surprise. "Don't you know? But also, it is estimated that you have just stepped into the secret martial arts circle. ”
"The so-called mark of revenge is that some special monster will leave a mark on the person who killed it before dying. In this way, its people will patrol the sigil for revenge. In fact, not only monsters, but also many ordinary animals will have similar methods. ”
"I guess it was contaminated the last time we killed the bifid wolf, and it was only you, me, and Mr. Zhang who were present, so all three of us should have a vengeance mark on them."
After listening to Tie Lin's explanation, Ma Teng felt a little more clear in his heart. At that time, when he killed the second bifid wolf, Zhang Yuanguang was indeed hiding not far away. It must have been contaminated at that time.
But why wasn't he attacked by the bifid wolf? Isn't there a mark of revenge on him, shouldn't he, the last mending knife at that time was made by him.
Although he couldn't figure it out, Ma Teng's heart didn't dare to relax at all, the bifid wolf was so elusive, maybe it would appear behind him one day.
"Mr. Li, it's so late now, why don't you go and sit with me?"
Ma Teng was still thinking about the mark of revenge, but Tie Lin's voice suddenly sounded again.
"No, I still have some things, let's go and visit Coach Tielin another day." Thinking of Xiao Lele, who was still alone in the villa, Ma Teng didn't dare to stay here longer. Since he promised Zhang Yuanguang's matter, he has to do it.
After speaking, regardless of Tie Lin's retention, Ma Teng dragged the corpse of the bifid wolf and walked in the direction of the villa area.
After Ma Teng left, Tie Lin's face, which was still smiling, immediately changed color.
"Shame on the face!"
"Senior brother, he is just a martial artist who has just stepped into the skin membrane realm, where is he worthy of your such wooing." A man who was also wearing a Jiquan martial arts gym uniform said with a disdainful look on his face.
"You know what! If it weren't for the fact that his talent is far beyond ordinary people, I wouldn't have made such a lot of effort to win him over. ”
"The old guy is estimated to have a few days left now, have the several elders in the door been put in place?"
"Back to Senior Brother, it's all done, but the budget is a little overrun, and that old guy Qian Li opened his mouth widely, asking for too much."
Hearing this, Tie Lin immediately raised his eyebrows.
"He really dares to ask for it, but it doesn't matter, when I take over as the head of the door, I want him to spit out everything he eats."
"Let's go, go back and keep an eye on the old guy, don't let him have a chance to be alone with Tielan."
With that, the group turned and left.
At this time, Ma Teng also returned to Zhang Yuanguang's villa.
Unlike before, this place was already surrounded by the public of the yamen. They are busy dealing with the scene in the villa.
After explaining his identity, Ma Teng also successfully met Xiao Lele, who was already asleep.
Although he has promised to take care of Xiao Lele on his behalf. But it was impossible for him to keep such a child with him all the time.
So he could only foster Xiao Lele at his relative's house first, while Ma Teng was on the side to help him ensure that he could grow up safely. In this way, he can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
Fortunately, Xiao Lele does have other relatives, and he also has an uncle who also lives in Minglin City.
After finding the contact information, Xiao Lele was also temporarily placed at his uncle's house. And Zhang Yuanguang's inheritance will be handed over to Xiao Lele when he becomes an adult.
When he is ten years old, Ma Teng will also officially take him as an apprentice. That's not what you want.
After dealing with this matter, nearly two days have passed.
Only then did Ma Teng remember that there were still a few monster corpses in his backpack, and he didn't know if they stinked.
So he rented a pickup truck and dragged a few monster corpses in the direction of the Witcher Society.
