Chapter Seventy-One

Wood is a veteran spy, and in the spy industry, he has almost reached the extreme of mortals. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEven though it has become a little sluggish over the years, the foundation of the past is still there, and the basic quality is still there.

At this moment, in the midst of crisis and pain, the little dullness caused by these years of comfortable life has been swept away like dust, and he has become the most admired spy again.

In just a split second, he roughly guessed what was going on.

But he'd rather be as sluggish as he used to be, or a little more serious, and not be able to guess anything.

He even felt that maybe he didn't notice anything, and just dying directly was the best ending.

The situation has become very clear, and the Federation is probably judging that he has been bribed by the Northwest Republic and is about to betray the Federation because the value of the information he has sent back over the years has become lower and lower. The north wind came this time, not to assist him, but to destroy him.

In fact, he has long been somewhat aware, according to his situation in the past few years, even if the Federation wants to increase the number of people, it will only send someone to lead and reduce himself to a deputy, how can he send an elite spy to be his helper?

If you want to send a helper, you can send it a long time ago. And you don't need to send any particularly powerful spies, as long as you can help yourself cover up, an ordinary spy can do it.

The Federation sent Beifeng over, I'm afraid the main reason is that after she executed herself, this intelligence station still needs her to preside over.

As for the method by which she assassinated herself, it was even more obvious - the almost unbearable pain in her body was not only the effect of magic, but also the effect of powerful toxins. And this toxin can make oneself unaware when it is eaten, and it is so powerful when it attacks, it is obviously specially designed, and it may even be specially designed for itself.

This really made him a little embarrassed...... If you have a spirit that designs a poison specifically to kill yourself, why can't you send someone to help you?

If they had sent a helper sooner, would things have gotten to this point?

The corners of his mouth curled up sarcastically, and although his heart ached, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

It must take a lot of manpower and material resources to study such a poison. Plus the high-level spy of the North Wind...... In order to kill him, he really invested a lot of money!

Alas, with so much time and manpower, why not make sure first?

He asked in a deep voice, "What does this mean?"

Beifeng already wanted to commit suicide after missing a blow, so as not to expose his secret after being caught. But seeing that Wood didn't strike immediately, he suddenly saw some opportunities - Wood had probably already had a toxic attack, and now his combat effectiveness was limited. So he can only stall for time by talking and wait for reinforcements.

Thinking of this, she didn't answer at all, and rushed out of the bedroom, took out her usual crossbow from the hidden compartment under the bed, and rushed towards Wood.

Wood did want to delay time, he was poisoned too deeply, although he tried to use his fighting spirit to temporarily suppress the poisoning symptoms, but the effect was not obvious. Now it's really time for him to try using magic to heal again.

Of course, he didn't think the magic would have any effect. But it didn't matter, he had weapons and medicines in many places in the house, among which there was naturally an antidote. It may not be the right symptom, but at least it will alleviate his poisoning.

However, Beifeng deserves to be his outstanding junior, worthy of being the ace spy of the new generation of the Federation, and she also judged the situation at once and immediately took the right response.

Watching the north wind rush over with a crossbow, Wood sighed in his heart.

The crossbow was carefully prepared by him, and although it was not large, it was not small at all.

Its only drawback is that it can only shoot a single shot, unlike ordinary small hand crossbows that can be fired in bursts, but in terms of power, it is not inferior to military light crossbows.

The name "light crossbow" may not sound powerful at first, but it is actually terrifying. Unless it is some strong people who have specially cultivated their protective ability, the vast majority of adventurers are almost killed when they are shot in the torso without wearing armor.

Unlike heavy crossbows, which can give the crossbow a terrifying penetrating power, it often works on the crossbow arrow, which can make the wound difficult to bandage and treat, and sometimes quench the poison, and even increase the power of the curse to ensure that it can kill in one hit.

Wood's crossbow, the bolt is quenched, and it uses an extremely powerful toxin, the venom of a dangerous and highly venomous snake.

Every three days, he has to maintain this crossbow to replenish the toxicity of the crossbow, the last maintenance was yesterday, today its toxicity should be sufficient, as long as the crossbow is cut through the skin, it is enough to kill an ordinary strong man.

Wood was much stronger than the average person, and under normal circumstances, he would not be too lethal if he had been slightly affected by this snake venom. But in the current situation, he is already highly poisonous, I don't know if he can survive it, and if he adds the snake venom, he will definitely die!

If he was in good physical condition, he would be able to challenge such a difficult thing as dodging crossbow arrows, but his physical condition is very poor now, and Beifeng's shooting skills are quite good, if Beifeng is allowed to shoot, it is basically impossible for him to dodge, and it is basically impossible for him to survive.

So, he was left with only one choice.

The cold light flashed, and the body of the north wind who raised the crossbow and was about to shoot shook violently, and tried very hard to lift the crossbow, but the body fell limply, and blood gushed out from the two wounds on her chest and back of her heart, and in an instant, it soaked through the pajamas, and spread on the floor, turning into a large piece of red.

It was a throwing knife thrown by Wood, and it pierced her body and destroyed her heart with a single slash.

A single knife kills.

There is a martial arts novel on Earth, in which the protagonist is extremely hard, but he is good at flying knives, and he claims to be a good example. But when he faced a fat man covered in fat, the flying knife once lost its effect.

If you were to switch to Wood, that would never happen. His flying knife shot, not to mention a fat man with no extra protection, even if this fat man was wearing military heavy armor, he would be shot through the heart by him.

Beifeng is neither a master of "horizontal qigong", nor is he wearing super powerful armor, and if he is stabbed, of course he will definitely die.

A flying knife shot his wife, whom he had loved not long ago, and Wood sighed deeply.

He only had time to sigh, and there was no more time to sigh.

Hurried back to the bedroom, he took out a bottle of medicine from another compartment under the bed, examined it carefully, opened the cap, and drank it in one gulp.

The potion was pale golden, and it looked beautiful. And its price is more expensive than such a bottle of golden sand.

This is a high-grade antidote, and one bottle will cost two thousand gold coins!

Generally speaking, even adventurers do not always have such a precious elixir, they often prefer to use a poison slowing potion of about 200 gold coins, or a neutralizing poison potion of about 500 gold coins, such as high-grade antidotes, most of which are only used by the rich or high-ranking nobles.

Wood wasn't a tycoon, but he spent most of his income on preparing whatever he could. A great artist's income is very high, and he can afford to use something of this level without considering savings.

After drinking a bottle of potion, he immediately felt that the toxicity in his body was weakening, and the unbearable pain in his internal organs was slightly relieved.

But that's about it.

This kind of poison specially made by the federal intelligence department, how can it be so easy to deal with!

Wood shook his head and took the other antidotes he had prepared, but those were far less effective than this bottle of high-grade antidote, and after drinking them all, he could still feel pain everywhere in his body, especially his internal organs.

It seems that the detoxification effect can only be said to be better than nothing.

Wood wasn't surprised by the result. If the toxicity had been removed so easily, he would have been surprised.

Back in the room where he had just fought, he looked at the north wind that was still holding a crossbow until he died, but he couldn't shoot even a single arrow after all, and sighed deeply.

"Why...... Why would you do that?" he said, shaking his head sadly, "why don't you talk to me? I really didn't betray the Federation!"

He is a good actor, and if necessary, he has a hundred ways to perform "grief".

But at the moment, his performance was unusually thin and pale. It was as if the color of his whole person had faded, and what was standing next to Beifeng's corpse at the moment was just a sketch in black and white tones.

After a few moments of silence, Wood took out a special powder and sprinkled it on the corpse of the north wind.

This powder is effective in removing the smell of blood and preventing people from detecting it.

Then, he cast a spell to remove the smell of blood from the house.

After doing this, he wondered, what to do next?

Maybe he can run to Archon Ferex to turn himself in, and with everyone's past friendships, if he turns himself in, maybe he can be punished lightly.

But this thought had just risen, and he was violently extinguished.

He is the ace spy of the Mystic Tower Federation, even if he dies, he will die in this capacity! He will never betray the Federation!

Since turning yourself in is not considered, it is time to run away.

Beifeng is also a public figure, and her death cannot be covered up for too long.

But...... Where are you going to flee?

Wood was a little dazed.

He remembered the maps of most of the regions of the main plane continent, but at this moment, when he looked back at these maps, he felt that there was no place in the vast world where he could live in peace.

Where can he flee?

The Federation will not let him go, and when Beifeng's body is discovered, the Northwest Republic will also understand his true identity, and most of them will send people to hunt him down at that time.

was hunted down by the two major powers of the main plane, one south and one north, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, he couldn't escape. Even if you escape from the main plane, go to some other plane, or go to the vast starry sky, you may not be able to escape.

What's more, he really couldn't find a way to leave the main plane for a while.

But he had to run, and he did it immediately.

Unless he wants to die, it's the only option.

Wood wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die either.

He still has a lot of things to do, such as he wants to open a bookstore in a small town near the Supreme Tower in the federal capital after retirement, for example, he wants to return to his hometown, the famous Cloud Tower City, and eat the most authentic hometown food, for example, he wants to marry an ordinary wife who has nothing to do with politics and espionage, have a few ordinary children, and live a stable life......

Most importantly, he wanted to figure out why his superiors would so easily judge that he had betrayed and needed to be cleared.

It doesn't make sense!

Thinking of this, he regained his strength.

Yes, he can't die yet, he still has something very important to do!

Maybe the north wind misunderstood the order, or maybe there was something wrong when issuing the mission, everything is possible!

If he didn't rush back to the Federation, didn't ask his superiors in person, and didn't hear the other party's answer with his own ears, he wouldn't have given up!

So until then, he can't die!

So Wood hurriedly took action, he temporarily sealed the body of the north wind with magic, hid it in the basement specially used to hide the body, and completely sealed the secret room, before returning to carefully remove the traces of fighting in the house, to make sure that there was no visible thing that had happened here.

By the time it was all done, almost half of the night had passed.

Fortunately, the nights in the north are relatively long, otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing if it was dawn now!

When it was certain that even if someone entered the door, unless it was searched carefully, and if it was a professional like him, no one would want to find Beifeng's body, and then he began to pack all the valuable soft goods in the house, as well as the luggage of the long journey.

It's not much, it's just a small packet.

After everything was cleaned up, he changed into travel clothes, found a wooden board, and wrote, "There is an emergency, the couple is out temporarily, and the time is undecided." I should continue when I get back from work. ".

On the way out, he hung the board in the doorway.

I believe that this can also delay some time, maybe three or five days, maybe ten days, maybe longer.

By the time everything was exposed, he had probably reached the Tower of the Highest.

From here to Void City, with his foot strength, if he spares physical strength, it will take four or five days. But he's not in great shape right now, and he can't run like that, so it's going to take longer.

After a little thought, he went to the carriage shop near the city gate and bought a carriage.

It was a good carriage, light and sturdy, and the horse pulling the cart had a little bit of Warcraft blood, as long as it was fed some special food every night when it rested, it would be no problem to pull the cart for more than ten days in a row.

Of course, he also bought some of that special food, at least enough for this journey.

As for the passengers' own drinking water, of course, the car dealership also sells it, so he bought it as well.

Pretending that his wife was still in the car, he drove out of the city gate and drove towards the Void City at night.

At this time, he couldn't help but thank the Archon of Azna in Pyroxene City, who had decided not to close the gates at night, otherwise he would have to wait until dawn at the gates.

In that case, the fact that the north wind is not in the car may be exposed.

Now he's driving all the way, and although it's a bit hard, it's at least enough to cover up the secret.

The night was deep, and even though he had the ability to see through the darkness of the night, Wood felt that his surroundings were drowsy.

Maybe...... It wasn't the scenery around him that was drowsy, it was his heart.

Above Wood's head, Sui Xiong was silent, staring at him with pity.

Beifeng's soul was intercepted by Sui Xiong, and he had fully understood the cause and effect of the matter. The outcome of Wood's trip is not optimistic.

He'll follow Wood all the way through until it's completely over.

That's when he needs to come forward. (To be continued.) )
