For the bandits in the Blackwoods, the night was too unpeaceful. First, he heard that the strongman of the wolf warrior appeared in the Black Wood Forest, and then heard the fierce gunshots, so that the thieves of the Black Wood Forest spent this long night in fear.

The next day, the rain showed no sign of stopping. It's just that the rain is not as heavy as last night, and the spring rain continues, brushing out a layer of hazy water vapor from the gray hills and black woods. Near noon, a group of iron horsemen tore through the rain curtain and came from the direction of the Vicious Tooth Barrier.

Gangen squinted slightly, wiping the rain from his face with his hands from time to time. The clothes on his body had already been wet by the rain and clinged to his body. He didn't get sick from it, but he didn't feel well, just as bad as he had been before.

Zach did make it all night.

This is not good news for the wolf warriors, Joey didn't say anything in the morning, but his face was so bad that he saw it for the first time nearly ten years ago. Gang-eun could understand the old man's feelings, first there was the betrayal of Gurus, then he was injured by a strange master in the gray hills, and now even Zack is dead. The wolf warrior has been crisscrossing the dark land for more than 20 years, and he has experienced many big battles and small battles, but even the worst one is not as bad as it is now.

Gang-eun didn't say a word.

Finally, he saw the black tree line in the Black Wood Forest, and an unnatural black shadow in front of the forest. A feeling of discomfort passed through Gangen's heart, and he couldn't help but clamp the horse's belly with his legs, urging the war horse to speed up. It didn't take long for him to see what the dark shadow was.

It's a pile of people, a hill of corpses, to be exact. Nearly thirty corpses of wolf bandits, including five Iron Wolf Guards, were stacked on top of each other to form a hill that could be described as exquisite. And in front of this hill, it was Zach. Zach knelt on the ground, facing in the direction of the Tooth Barrier. The hands and body were tied and fastened to a stake behind them. Despite his preparations, Gonn gasped when he saw Zack's body.

Zack's body was incomplete, and the part of his head above the eyebrows was gone. Judging from the irregular edge of the wound, it was instantly slashed away by a terrifying force. Whether it's due to ability or weapon, it's clear that the opponent's level is much higher than Zack's. Looking at Zach's multiple wounds, Gang N can imagine what kind of battle his brother with a different surname went through last night.

The horse team stopped in front of Zack's body, and none of the wolf bandits spoke. This mountain of corpses, as well as Zack's corpse, was the most powerful shock to them, and they even breathed a lot lighter. Gang En glanced at it, and saw the fear in the eyes of these wolf bandits. He could even imagine the fear in the eyes of these people when they returned to the Tooth Barrier.

Fear is contagious, especially when faced with unknown and powerful enemies. If Joey can't respond properly, Gonn believes that it will be difficult for Wolf Warriors to survive this hurdle.

"Bring Zach back." Gangen said calmly.

But the wolf bandits remained motionless, and they had barely recovered from the shock of the picture. Gangen had to raise his voice and yelled, "Are you deaf? I told you to bring Zach back. Or do you think you don't humiliate people enough? ”

Then the two wolf bandits dismounted, untied the corpse, and put Zach on one of the horses. Gangen glanced at the Black Wood Forest and gestured. The horses turned around, and they did not come, and they did not go.

By the time Joey saw Zach's body, it was already afternoon.

It was raining outside the morgue, and Joey stepped on the rain. The old man was covered with water stains, but he didn't bother to wipe it and walked directly to the corpse. Gonn waved his hand, and all the irrelevant people withdrew, leaving only him and Joey behind. Joey looked at the corpse, stretched out his hand and ran between each wound on Zack's body, and Gang En next to him said, "We found him in front of the Black Woods, as well as the bodies of others. Zach is still too impulsive, knowing that the other party even ...... you"

Speaking of this, Gangen hurriedly closed his mouth, not daring to say any more.

"This is a wound from a war gun, here is a knife wound and a sword wound, as for the fatal part......" Joey's gaze stayed on Zack's head, and he shook his head, "I don't see what caused it. But what is certain is that none of this was done by the white-haired boy. But it was even worse, which meant that Sir Alan had at least three masters, if not more, under his command. When did such a terrifying power appear in the south? ”

Then he dragged a white cloth over Zach's body. Joey turned around, washed his hands in the iron basin on the side, and said, "I know what you're trying to say, Gang-eun." It doesn't matter, it's just the two of us here. That's right, where is the opponent that even I can injure, where Zach can deal with. You are not mistaken, this brute is impulsive, but he is loyal, there is no doubt about that. After all, he has proven it with his life. ”

Gangen immediately said: "I am willing to give everything for the wolf warrior, including my life!" ”

"I know, kid." Joey patted him on the shoulder: "Gurus betrayed me, Zach is dead." You're the only one left with me, Gang-eun, and you won't let me down. Right? ”

Gang En said heavily: "Of course. ”

"Very well, let's bury Zack's body." Joey left the room and strode into the rain.

Gangen only stood up straight at this time, and he had already changed into dry clothes, but he was wet with cold sweat again.

Back in the temple hall, Joey saw Meggis. The old agent was drinking a cup of hot tea, and he bowed his head and said, "This is Miragon's good tea, and only that town near the Devil's Throat can grow such tea." I remember, this was brought to you when I was here last time, right? ”

Joey nodded and said, "You only brought more than two catties, for me, I don't appreciate this kind of good thing, and it's too wasteful to drink, so I've been hiding it." You're here, just in time for you to enjoy. ”

"I hope there will be a chance to drink its tea here in the future." Meggis raised his head and smiled, "Well, I heard that one of your adopted sons died. And not long ago, that kid named Gurus betrayed you. Joey, you're old, but you're not so confused. Tell me, how did Wolf Warrior get so bad? ”

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the wolf warrior will be as strong as ever." Joey said with a blank face.

"Let's not talk about that, old friend, I think it's time for you to act, right? As for the sir, how I look, you don't seem to be planning to make a move. Maggis shook the teacup lightly and said, "I'm patient, but that doesn't mean the adult is patient." As a friend, I must warn you not to let that adult lose his patience, that is definitely not a good thing. ”

"I know, in fact, I was about to tell you that I have the whereabouts of my target. But as you can see, my injuries have not healed yet. Unless you want me to play in an imperfect manner, you should give me two more days. ”

"Two days?" Magis smiled and shook his head: "Two days is enough time for that Lord Sir to leave the Dark Lands." One day at most, Joey. I hope to see the head of the knight the day after tomorrow morning, so I can leave with peace of mind. And before I die, I will come back to see you again, what do you think? ”

"Okay, I'll go get ready." Joey nodded.

Just about to leave, there is an iron wolf guard do not enter the hall. He looked at Magis before he reported to Joey, "My lord, someone wants to see you." ”

"Who?"

"Potala, the general of the lawless, and the leader of the Shadow of the Shadows......

Joey was surprised: "What are these two guys going to do?" ”

"Just go and see it." Meggis in the back said lightly.

Joey said to Iron Wolf, "Take them to the side hall." ”

Iron Wolf Guard bowed his head and said, "We also said so just now, but those two adults insisted on seeing you in the square. ”

"Whatever they want." Joey said this, but his heart was not as relaxed as it seemed. Potala and Vess's insistence on meeting him in the square rather than entering the Sanctuary of the Immortals was a code in itself.

They want to draw a line with Joey, but who are they doing to show it?

The square in front of the Immortal Temple is surrounded by iron wolf guards on both sides. Potala, dressed in military uniform, stood with his hands in his hands, and next to him was Weiss, who was dressed in black and pants. The two of them have lawless and Shadow Killers around them to support them with rain gear, they are a little worse than Joey in terms of combat power and prestige, but they are always two of the Big Four, and they are strongmen who can stand side by side with Joey. The two of them stood silently in the square, and the oppressive atmosphere made the iron wolf guards around them uncomfortable.

Gangen came before Joey, and when he saw this kind of scene, he couldn't be the master, so he had to wait patiently like an iron wolf guard. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long, and Joey came. When he walked out of the temple and saw the two men, Joey's eyes narrowed, and then he laughed, "What's going on?" Are you going to get caught up in the rain here, or are you going to go inside with me for a drink of spirits and have a good chat for a while? ”

Vis was blindfolded, revealing only a pair of eyes, and no expression could be seen. Potala has always been unsmiling, and his face is even more expressionless. He said in a deep voice, "No need, it's actually nothing. It's just that I'm here today with the Funeral Shadow to let you know. Joey, Vis and I, as notaries, invite you to tomorrow's challenge in the Grand Duel Arena on behalf of the leader of the Dark Spear. You can refuse, but the Wolf must leave the Tooth Barrier, or else he is the enemy of the Dark Lands. ”

"You also have a part in formulating these rules, and I think you know very well, so I won't say anything superfluous. Tomorrow at noon, the Grand Dueling Arena in the Sharptooth Mountains hopes to see you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Potala simply turned away, leaving Joey without the slightest room for a response. Vis stretched out a pale finger and made a slight throat-slitting motion before following the general.

Joey stood in the rain, and the rain ran down the wrinkles on his face and into his lips, with a bitter taste.
