It's too tragic to put into words.

Everywhere there were pieces of flesh and blood that had been blown up, and the whole valley was like a purgatory on earth.

A pack of ugly-looking wild dogs fought for food in the valley, howling and grinning, tearing at the rather large pieces of flesh.

"Get out! Get out of here! ”

A black-robed man stepped forward with anger, pulled out a weapon, and fired several shots into the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The shrill sound of gunfire frightened the wild dogs, all of whom trembled with their tails between their legs, and retreated some distance, but did not go far, and looked at the flesh on the ground with fear, still lingering outside the valley.

They seem to want to wait for the men to leave before rushing forward to grab the food.

Another black-robed man stepped forward and slowly picked up a broken bone among the paw prints of countless wild dogs.

"It's ......"

It's a very special skull, half bone, half metal.

It belongs to a member of the Fan Furnace team in charge of reconnaissance.

The member had been wounded in the head, had been cut through a large hole in a battle, survived, and was later replaced with metal for the missing skull.

"Looks like they're it."

"Are you sure it's Fan Lu's team?"

"Hmmm......"

The man removed the piece of metal from the skull, pointed to a superficial number on the surface of the metal, and said, "It was an operation in a tavern, and the number is still there." ”

Seeing the number, the hearts of several people were extremely heavy.

Fan Lu's status inside the tavern is very high, and his team members are all elites, so dying here like this is really a great loss for the tavern.

Yesterday, the tavern headquarters has not approved Fan Lu's application for action, and is afraid that Fan Lu will make trouble outside.

They weren't worried that something would happen to Fan Lu himself, after all, Fan Lu's team was the top in the world.

After Fan Lu and his party set off, the headquarters asked them to reply to messages every once in a while and report the itinerary.

But in the middle of the night last year, Fan Lu's team suddenly stopped replying to messages.

"I just thought that Fan Lu was acting arbitrarily and wanted to avoid the eyes of the headquarters and lead the team to act alone, so I didn't reply to the message."

"I think so......"

These black-robed people are all from the nearest point of contact for the Zero Tavern to this valley.

After the headquarters cut off contact with Fan Lu, it was speculated that Fan Lu and the others might have had an accident, so they sent messages to several contact points in the vicinity, asking them to search along the way.

They didn't take it to heart at the time.

But who would have thought......

Fan Lu's team really had an accident.

The scraps of meat, bones, blood, etc., all show how tragic the battle was not long ago.

"Is Fan Lu dead too?"

Level 5 creatures, if they want to escape, shouldn't be so easy to kill.

With this doubt in mind, they began to examine the entire valley and gather possible evidence.

"They were ambushed." One of them made a judgment, "The member of the team in charge of reconnaissance made a mistake and did not detect the opponent in advance, if it were not for this, it should not have been so badly defeated." ”

"Maybe the enemy is hiding too much."

"Who's doing it in the shadows?"

"Masked Monster?"

“……”

Several people glanced at each other, and they all had similar doubts in their eyes.

According to the information obtained by the tavern during this time, it is inferred that the masked monster has a stealth-like ability, which can not only avoid human eye reconnaissance, but also avoid infrared sensing and life perception.

Such an opponent is extremely difficult, and in the face of him, it is easy to fall into trouble if he is not careful.

"The masked monster himself probably doesn't have the ability to do this, but he may be able to do it with the help of foreign objects."

"If you look closely at these explosion marks on the ground, they don't look like they were caused by ordinary bombs."

A black-robed man held a black umbrella, walked to a boulder on the left, stretched out his hand to rub the lines on the boulder, and said in a low voice: "It's an energy weapon, the special ripples on this stone are formed by the impact of the energy wave generated when the psionic bomb explodes." ”

"You can see it on this stone over here." The other floated gently to the right, and found the same marks on the rocks on this side.

As far as the eye can see, there are similar marks on most of the stones in the entire valley.

More and more traces were found, and several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the vibration in each other's eyes.

How many psionic bombs do you have to detonate to cause the tragic scene in front of you?

Is it really Mask Geek?

"Last time, the masked monster fought so hard in Fishscale City, and I didn't see him use a spectral bomb, he has always relied only on his ability to control metal."

"And the actions of the Fan Furnace team are very secretive, how can the masked monsters know?"

It stands to reason that the masked monster should still be hiding somewhere now.

He was only a fourth-level creature, how could he dare to ambush a team led by a fifth-level creature?

If the ambush fails, as long as Fan Lu survives, the masked monster may lose his life here.

"Found it!"

In the distance, high in the valley, a black-robed man suddenly shouted.

Another asked, "What was found?" ”

"Fan Lu's corpse, and his driver's!"

"Huh?"

Several people were so shaken that they couldn't even bother to hold their umbrellas, and they all accelerated their movements and ran towards the high place.

When they saw Fan Lu's mutilated corpse, the shock in their hearts was even greater, and the look of horror on their faces could not be hidden at all.

One of them, pale, squatted down and began to examine Fan Lu's body.

At this time, the blood on the corpse had already coagulated, and it would be deformed at the slightest touch, and the texture was between tofu and jelly.

"A big hole in the chest and a smaller one behind you."

The more the man examined, the more frightened he became, and said seriously: "The bullet entered from behind and exploded in the chest, and this was a fatal blow." ”

"So, he survived the first ambush and died on the second?"

"But why did he come to the top of the valley, is the enemy here?"

"If he's facing the enemy, is there another enemy behind him who is responsible for the attack?"

“……”

Next to Fan Lu's corpse, there was another corpse.

The cause of death of this corpse is obvious, there is a bloody hole in the forehead and an even larger bloody hole in the back of the head, which was obviously shot in the head.

Both of them died here, indicating that there was a high probability that the enemy was in this vicinity at that time, but Fan Lu ignored the enemy behind him.

"A master with a gun!"

Several people looked at the corpse and made such a judgment.

Perhaps more than one, two masters with guns, one of whom is responsible for attracting attention, and the other is secretly sniping.

"Fan Lu is used to using illusions to hide his true body, and the hunter in the dark will definitely be able to investigate his illusions, otherwise it will not be fatal with one shot."

"So, at least a fifth-level creature?"

Non-level creatures, the possibility of seeing through the Fan Furnace Illusion is too small.

And the masked monster is still some distance away from the level 5 creature, and it should be impossible to break through continuously in a short period of time.

"Is it Mercer?"

"Impossible!"

"With Mercer's temper, if he really wants to kill Fan Lu, he will kill him directly during the battle that night."

The Cymbrans have always been tough, killing and killing, not afraid of the retaliation of the rest of the forces at all.

A level 5 creature with a large number of energy weapons, extremely stealthy ability, and a master of using guns, and at least one extremely powerful sniper rifle......

If you don't count the members of the mechanical family, there are too few people who meet these characteristics in this world.

"Francis, the king of guns?" The black-robed man who was examining the corpse suddenly said a name.

"It's true that his style, but ...... Didn't he retire a long time ago? ”

"It's not a retreat."

The other shook his head and said, "He went to challenge the master of the mechanical clan two years ago, and he hasn't been heard from since, and he is probably dead." ”

There was silence for a while.

There are many legends in this world, and Francis is one of them.

He possessed a sniper rifle that was suffocatingly strong, a weapon that even the Terran Anlo Corporation admits could not make.

Some say that the sniper rifle was made by the Gun King himself, while others say that the gun has a different origin, as the Automata have been tracking the Gun King for a long time and seem to want some kind of secret from the Gun King.

Two years ago, Francis disappeared from the world, and many thought he had retired, and he has not been seen since.

"Anyway, let's report this place first." A black-robed man said.

"Do the bones here need to be retracted?"

"No, we're staying here and trying to keep this area as it is, and the headquarters will send more professional people to check on ......"

In this way, inside the Zero Point Tavern, there was a temporary suspicion.

The news was suppressed, and except for these people and the headquarters, no one knew that Fan Lu was dead.

……

At this time, it was time for breakfast on the side of Coral City.

Boss Zhao took a few employees to Zhang Luo, and steamed steamed buns one after another, the aroma was fragrant, and the whole restaurant was filled with the fragrance of breakfast.

"The children all come here to sit, and they can say whatever they want to eat, Uncle Zhao has everything here." Boss Zhao smiled and arranged a separate table for the children.

Su Xia changed her clothes, yawned, and walked down the stairs to the first floor of the restaurant.

Boss Zhao hurriedly asked, "Master Su, did you have a good rest last night?" ”

"Well, that's good."

Successfully getting rid of an opponent, Su Xia is now in a pretty good mood.

He walked to the door of the hotel and looked up at the sky, the morning light was pleasant, and it was a warm sunny day.

Just as he was about to go upstairs and wake up the two beatitudes, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"Yin Yi?"

Su Xia clasped her hands around and leaned against the door, staring at the corner of the old street.

The person who appeared on the corner was Yin Yi, the manager of the Coral City Tavern Branch.

"What is Yin Yi doing here, do you want to buy medicine?"

Su Xia thought about it, most likely for his apprentice Yin Mo.

After Yin Mo and Shen Yu had an accident, Yin Yi planned to go to his father for help, but his father happened to have an accident at that time.

He came here today, did he want to find Su Xia?

Su Xia walked out of the restaurant, walked to the pharmacy across the street, opened the door of the pharmacy, and hung up a sign.

【Open】

Now the construction team has not come, and the whole old street is quiet.

Su Xia made a cup of coffee and sat behind the counter, waiting for Yin Yi to arrive.

After a while, Yin Yi walked outside the door and looked up at the golden signboard of [Su Xia's Pharmacy] in the pharmacy, his expression was a little complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Yin Yi finally entered the pharmacy, looked at Su Xia behind the counter, and said respectfully, "Master Su, I have something to ask for." ”

"Mr. Yin?" Su Xia smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Master Su knows me?"

Yin Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had not formally met this young pharmacist before.

In fact, he didn't like Su Xia very much, if it wasn't for his apprentice, he really didn't want to come here.

In Coral City, he had already been to several other famous apothecaries.

He also sought out many well-known physicians.

But those people all felt that the mental problems were quite tricky, and none of them could guarantee a cure, and a few people prescribed some healing drugs to Yin Yi, but the effect was not great.

In the end, he had no choice but to come here.

After all, he is his father's apprentice, and he is still a medicine genius, no matter what his character is, he has the ability, maybe he can have a way.

"Master Su...... Have we seen this before? ”

"Well, there was a one-sided relationship, and Mr. Yin probably forgot."

"I don't have a good memory." Yin Yi smiled reluctantly, and his attitude was very low, "Master Su don't be surprised. ”

"It's okay, I already know Mr. Yin's intention."

"This ......"

Yin Yi was stunned again, he hadn't spoken yet, how did this person know?

Mind reading?

Or did the young pharmacist investigate him?

"Mr. Yin, you have a friend who came to look for me." Su Xia said without hurry.

"A friend?" Yin Yi asked tentatively, "Are you a friend of Coral City?" ”

"Well, it's the one Mr. Yin thought."

"It's really ...... him"

Yin Yi's heart tightened, no wonder the mask said that he had a way, it turned out that he had already found this young pharmacist.

But this apothecary is subordinate to the mechanical family, isn't the mask afraid of being betrayed by this man?

Su Xia glanced at Yin Yi's expression, guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel funny, he would never betray himself no matter what.

"Mr. Yin, I do have a solution for mental problems."

"Really?" Yin Yi was overjoyed in his heart, "Master Su, if you have anything you need, just say it, and I will definitely try my best to provide it for you." ”

"No need, there's only one material left, and your friend has already gone looking for me."

"What material?"

Yin Yi hurriedly asked, "There are enough materials accumulated inside the tavern, maybe there is the kind that Master Su needs." ”

Hearing this, Su Xia shook his head slightly: "A kind of poisonous gland of a sea fish, it has a hallucinogenic effect, it can only be found on the southern seaside, it must be fresh enough, Mr. Yin, you don't have it in your tavern." ”

The task of saving Yin Mo and Shen Yu [Lost Man] requires Su Xia to refine a fourth-order potion called [Dream Ecstasy].

Su Xia hadn't treated it before, one because Fan Lu was still in the tavern, and the other because the materials were not enough.

Among them is a kind of poison gland, which can indeed be found on the southern seashore.

Hearing this, Yin Yi couldn't help but be a little worried: "The southern sea is extremely far away, and the poison glands need to be fresh, so if they are transported from there, ......"

"It's okay, Mr. Yin, your friend is extremely fast, don't worry."

"That's good, thank you Master Su."

"No thanks." Su Xia put down the coffee cup, "Mr. Yin, go back and wait first, at most seven days, your beloved disciple will come to his senses." ”

"Okay, seven days ......"

Yin Yi had no other choice but to continue to wait.

Mask had told him to wait for seven days before, but now that seven days had passed, Mask hadn't returned.

He only knew that the mask had gone to intercept Fan Lu, and he didn't know what the specific situation was.

Will that interception be successful?

Although there was enough trust on the other side, Yin Yi couldn't help but worry.

"There is Master Laosu, if you need it, you can call me at any time."

Yin Yi left a personal business card, and then took his leave, and he returned to the tavern with this worry, and found Sanyu and the others.

During this time, everyone in the North Wind Story Society was patient, and if Yin Yi hadn't stopped them, they would have left the tavern and gone to join the rebel organization in the wilderness.

When Yin Yi told him that it would take another seven days, everyone's emotions finally couldn't be suppressed.

"Boss Yin, why do you want seven more days?"

"Last time you said it was seven days."

Yuan Hua couldn't help complaining: "Seven days after seven days, how long do you have to wait?" ”
