Chapter Ninety-Five: The Chaser
"You've won a game this time, but you'd better not give us a chance to leave alive, otherwise just wait for our revenge, you group, one counts as one, and none of you want to run. ”
Two minutes ago, the thorn left a vicious curse and quickly fled into the distance. His figure unfolded and overtook the galloping horse, and in the blink of an eye he was a hundred meters away, and in the distance, there were two people ready to transport, and he and Thorn would meet next to the vehicle, and then consider the next move.
He was confident that after the female leopard was pinned down by his partner, no one in the caravan would be able to catch up with him on the grassland, so he would confidently leave this threat, and even had room to look back at the crowd left behind him, leaving a defiant look.
Hidden Thorn is a villain who must be revenged, everyone who knows him thinks so, even his old partner for many years, Thorn, can't deny it. In his heart, everything he does is right, and anyone who interferes with his actions and makes himself have to taste the consequences of defeat will be deeply hated by him and will be the object of his revenge in the future.
He now has a grudge against this caravan, or rather, a few high-ranking mercenary guards from the caravan. In the past, even if the two of them failed to assassinate, most of the time they could retreat calmly and decently, and it was rare to run away in such a mess, and the enemies who had embarrassed them a few times were finally killed by the two of them watching the opportunity to find a way, and two enemies even took a year and a half to find a chance to do it. It can be seen that the revenge of the hidden thorn has reached the point of distortion, and even at all costs in order to retaliate.
It's the same this time, the hidden assassin has made up his mind, and he must take revenge on his opponent in the future, especially the Gun Spark Mercenary Group that is the dominant position, even if it takes three or five years, he must let them die in his own hands, and he must not tolerate them being as happy as before after destroying their plan.
"Ga", a sudden crow chirped interrupted the hatred in his heart, and when he looked up, several crows flew through the sky, leaving a small shadow on the ground.
"Phew", the thorn secretly took a sip.
Whether it's mercenaries or assassins, or even members of caravans of all sizes, anyone who often needs to leave the city and deal with the wilderness actually values luck. After all, the wilderness is full of dangers, and accidents can happen at any time, and sometimes a little luck can pull people out of the quagmire of danger more than great strength. Therefore, it is very important for these people to have a good fortune, at least to comfort their hearts, which is why every caravan must hold a heavenly ritual to pray for blessings before setting off on the road.
And the crow is an animal, but it has nothing to do with good luck, on the four-leaf star, no matter which continent, the crow is closely linked to disease, disaster, and death, and it is not a good omen to bump into a crow inexplicably. Only a crow would be proud of calling itself a crow, spreading misfortune and death everywhere.
Therefore, when he looked up and saw a few crows hovering overhead, Hidden Thorn's first reaction was to feel a burst of bad luck, but the next moment, he sensed that something was wrong.
Obviously, there was no one around, but the hidden thorn sensed a faint fluctuation of source energy. Under normal circumstances, in the perception of people who can control the source energy, the fluctuation of the source energy is a very clear feeling, just like the image seen by the eyes and the sound heard by the ears, so everyone calls the perception of the source energy the sixth sense in addition to the five senses.
But now the source energy fluctuations sensed by the thorn are very strange, not as clear as the normal situation, but always have a hazy feeling, like looking through a layer of translucent glass, obviously close to the eyes, but as if it exists in another world, if you are not alert enough, you may mistake it for your own illusion and ignore it.
The careless assassin will definitely not live long, the hidden assassin has lived for decades, it is thanks to the fact that he is never careless, and he is cautious naturally does not feel that he has made a mistake in perception, and in the current situation, there must be someone using a special way to try to get close to him, but he just doesn't know where the person is.
Where is it?
The flock of flying crows was rapidly approaching the top of his head, and the shadows cast on the ground were also gradually approaching. Wait, shadows?
A word popped into Hidden Thorn's mind, Shadow Walking.
This strange ability is very uncommon, but it is very famous. Hundreds of years ago, in the Dark Ages, Christina, who was close to the leader of the xenomorphs Yun Conglong and a top ability from the Apricot Leaf Continent, had similar abilities, except that she had devoured the soul of some kind of vampire bat.
The moment he remembered this ability, it already occurred to him that there seemed to be one less person in the caravan. The man who was always dressed in black and smiling was still by Rose's side when the bee colony was aroused, but he was already gone when the two sides faced each other.
Shadow walking, must be shadow walking.
It didn't even take time to think about it, and the thorn had already made an affirmation. The enemy who was calm about his escape and didn't even try to chase after him, the man who disappeared into the team for some reason, the crow that suddenly appeared above his head and approached quickly, and the looming source energy fluctuated. All the clues are connected and point to this answer.
It's no wonder that the source energy fluctuations are like seeing flowers in the fog, as if they are coming from another space, not as if, but simply from another space that belongs to the shadows.
This must be a very nasty enemy.
From the other party's way of action and ability, it is easy to judge that the other party and himself must be the same kind, both are poisonous snakes hidden in the shadows, insidious, vicious, cunning, and difficult to understand.
The so-called repulsion of the same kind, the hidden thorn in the dark, of course, hates the crows in the dark, especially now is the worst time, he doesn't want to be dragged by this guy.
Therefore, Hidden Thorn secretly made a decision.
These thoughts only swirled in the mind of the thorns, and it took no more than a second to think about them. From the outside world's point of view, he only saw the crows overhead, slowed down slightly and took a sip unexpectedly, then resumed his original speed and continued to flee towards the planned meeting point, it was difficult to see that he was aware of the crows' approach.
