Chapter 30 Chapter 4 Shadow
The glow of the red moon adds a hellish aura to this forest sprinkled with blood and internal organs. The headless corpse lay on the dry earth, blood gushing from severed limbs and severed necks, flowing into the crevices of the dry dirt, staining the forest red. Entrails and stumps fell all over the forest, emitting an indescribable stench.
A young man stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, his dark cloak had long been stained red with blood, and small pieces of flesh and internal organs were stained all over the cloak, and his body was stained with blood that he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's.
He breathed the air greedily, his mind blank. The strength in his body was already exhausted, every muscle in his body was feeling tearing pain, and the weakness of anemia was hitting his mind, and he staggered to a tree and sat down.
Half a moment later, the weakness and anemia barely subsided, and then he jerked his head up and looked at the hellish forest in front of him.
"It's all... What did I do?"
When Charlotte was pinned to the ground by the lead assassin, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have glanced at the pitch-black book, and then an uncontrollable anger welled up in his heart, and then his mind went blank
He couldn't recall what had happened next, and now he was in pain like a patient who had drunk spirits, his body and his head aching at the same time.
The smell of rusty iron and the stench of internal organs hit Charlotte's nostrils at the same time, and the hellish sight washed over his vision. Looking at the severed limbs and headless corpses, he vomited and vomited.
Theoretically, it was the first time he had killed someone, the first time he had seen such a miserable corpse, the first time he had seen the scarlet and stench of hell in front of him, and the first time he felt that his hands were so bloody.
After a short rest, Charlotte felt quite recovered, staggered to her feet, and began to search the ground for corpses. In this situation, he had to make use of everything he could, both for himself and for the sake of Kong Shangfu.
Soon, he endured the smell and blood, touched the corpses in front of him, and found a few poisonous daggers and a long sword, other weapons and unrelated items were thrown aside by Charlotte at will.
Unfortunately, until the end, Charlotte was unable to find any objects on the Assassin's body that could identify them. He shook his head in disappointment, and was about to give up only to be reminded that he didn't seem to have recovered the body of the lead assassin.
(Did he escape?)
With this suspicion, Charlotte glanced around, and soon found the body of the assassin lying on the ground. Charlotte walked over quickly, and saw that his broken straight sword pierced his head, nailed straight to the ground, and his brain splattered half a meter away.
He frowned and immediately began to search.
Moments later, the lead assassin was also unidentifiable, but he found the bottle containing the 'Seeking Bee'. He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the 'Seeking Bee' was intact in this battle, and if he accidentally crushed and pinched this fragile little bee to death, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
Finally, when Charlotte was about to give up searching, her right hand, which was groping, seemed to touch a cylindrical object. Charlotte was slightly stunned, and immediately took the object out of the assassin's arms.
A look of horror and despair appeared on Charlotte's face. A broken black bamboo pole was held in Charlotte's hand, and it was extremely dark throughout, with some burnt and gunpowder still lingering in the hollow center.
This special mother is a communication arrow, and it has been used at some point.
Before fighting the Assassins here, Xia Luo had a vague sense that the organization to which the Assassins belonged was not directly under the orders of the Dragon Capital Mansion, and their behavior and actions were more like hired Assassins.
In other words, these people are nothing more than cannon fodder sent to search for Charlotte's traces, and the real main killers of Longdu Mansion are speeding towards their side.
"Reallyโ" Charlotte's face twitched stiffly, "there's nothing to say." โ
It seems that the strength to identify is also left.
Charlotte put away the broken straight sword, quickly cleaned up, and put the items he had dropped back in the package, but in the end, no matter how much she searched, she couldn't see the shadow of the pitch-black book.
"It's strange, it must have fallen in this area at that time. Xia Luo quickly scanned the area with a look of despair, now that time is getting more and more pressing, the main force sent by the Dragon Capital Mansion will find this at any time, is it really necessary to give up this book?
"Where the hell is that bookโ" The next second, Charlotte's eyes widened and she looked at her right hand in surprise.
The pitch-black book appeared in the palm of his right hand at some point, and he held it tightly, as if it had been held by Charlotte from the beginning. He swore that one second he was searching with all his strength empty-handed, and the next second the target he was looking for mysteriously appeared in his hand.
"What the hell. He breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, at least he didn't have to spend any more time searching.
After packing everything up, Charlotte's figure shuttled through the demonic red forest, running in the direction of the 'Silent Death Forest'.
......
"You mean, you saw a golden cloud-piercing arrow in the direction of Ziyuan City?" said a tall and thin young man wearing a golden Hanfu looking at the scenery outside the tower.
"Yes, my lord! The villain dares to vouch for his life, that arrow is a cloud-piercing arrow used by our government for confidential communications. One of the guards was bowing his head, half-kneeling and speaking to the three figures in front of him.
"Ahem, ahem... The news came so fast, that little guy really tossed people. The old man turned around, hunched over with his cane, and said with some indelible anger, "Eh, it seems that I will have to work hard again on this old bone." โ
"Ouch, Uncle Yue, you better rest first. A bewitching woman in a red belly-baring outfit patted the old man on the shoulder, then turned to face the guards, "I guess you should have heard that, too?
"Shouldn't you do something about it?" said the seductive woman with a smile as she opened her fluffy fan and covered her small mouth.
The guard lowered his head with a confused expression, he couldn't understand what the bewitching woman meant by what he said.
"Well, that's right. Like the low roar of a beast, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the guard's back, who jerked his head and glanced around to find nothing behind him, and no other figure to be found.
"Even if you sit here, I'll bring his head. The hoarse voice lit up again, and the guards glanced around again, still seeing no sign of anyone else.
When he lowered his head, he was shocked to find that his shadow was moving his mouth to speak, and the hoarse voice came from his own shadow, "With the reputation of my faction, this trip will not be missed." โ
"Ouch, those of us who don't know the prestige of your faction, but if you miss..."
"Are you underestimating me, man?" interrupted a hoarse voice.
"What are you talking about..."The bewitching woman was about to get angry, but was stopped by a young man in a golden Hanfu beside her.
"Okay, that's enough for the two of you, and the three of us will head out to see what is going on over there. The young man said, "Please understand us, this is also for the sake of foolproof. โ
"Please. A hoarse voice replied, and the guard's shadow began to blur, eventually returning to its original form.
Only the hoarse voice still echoed through the hall.
"In the name of Kai's Shadow Stream..."
"Take the life of the thing. โ
