The man told him everything he knew. Qi Yuan originally wanted to avoid it, but Luan stopped him. After this incident, even if Qi Yuan didn't join Wolf's Teeth Hunt, he would still be related to Wolf's Teeth Hunt.
Perhaps because most of his body was still frozen, the man's face was pale. After talking for a long time, Luan's face became uglier and uglier, and Qi Yuan was also frightened.
For the first time, he realized that although Wolf's Teeth Hunt, which few people in the Iron Chariots dared to provoke, there were actually so many enemies outside of the Iron Chariots, and each one was more dangerous than the last.
After he finished speaking, the man laughed bitterly. He could already feel that the frozen organs in his body were thawing. However, this was not the recovery of his body, but the horn of death. The organs that had been pierced by the frozen body fluid and blood were bleeding. It would not be long before he welcomed death.
"I've already told you everything I know, just give me a quick death!"
The man's eyes gradually became slack, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Luan asked several times, but he could no longer respond. Strands of cold blood slowly flowed out from his seven orifices.
Luan glanced at Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei raised the Shining Dawn, left a bloody hole in the man's forehead, and then threw him into the burning insect corpse.
"Let's go back to the Iron Chariots first. I will report this matter to the captain and leader Ling You."
Luan glanced at Qi Yuan.
"Come to 3 Oak Street at 8 o 'clock in the evening. We have something to discuss with you about this incident and the upcoming clean-up mission in the old city."
Qi Yuan nodded. If the man's mental defense hadn't collapsed, he wouldn't have known that there were two groups of people in the Iron Chariots who went to Lionheart Castle to hire Venom's people to assassinate him.
If it wasn't for the fact that his body had undergone some changes and could resist the poison's invasion, he might have been poisoned to death in this ambush.
He hadn't been in the Iron Chariots for a long time. Although he had killed the murderers of the Blood Hand Gang, he didn't deliberately provoke those powerful forces. Since they could contact the gangs of the Lionheart Castle and ask Venom's men to take action, there must be some other story behind it.
Coupled with the enemies behind Wolf's Teeth Hunt, no matter how confident Qi Yuan was, he did not think that he could go against everyone.
Venom of Lionheart Castle was not only his enemy, but also the enemy of Wolf's Teeth Hunt. Joining forces with Wolf's Teeth Hunt might increase the number of enemies, but it would also increase the number of helpers.
If there weren't any checkpoints, the clean-up mission in the old cities could still be avoided.
But now, the old cities were the only checkpoints that could be sensed. This most important checkpoint was likely to hide the other half of the stage 2 pass, so he couldn't miss this checkpoint no matter what.
Judging from the information he had just received, the clean-up of the old cities was likely to turn into Wolf's Teeth Hunt, or even a struggle between the Iron Chariots and the hostile forces of other gathering points. As long as he joined the recruitment mission, even if he didn't join forces with Wolf's Teeth Hunt, the dangers he should face would not be reduced. Joining forces with Wolf's Teeth Hunt would instead increase his strength.
Moreover, Wolf's Teeth Hunt now knew that many enemies would join in the clean-up of the old cities. If they still decided to issue a recruitment mission and head to the old cities, it could only mean one thing. Wolf's Teeth Hunt had enough confidence to face the enemies this time, and they definitely wouldn't deliberately send themselves to their deaths.
After Qi Yuan and the others left, the flames burning on the pile of corpses gradually extinguished, and the thick smoke gradually dissipated. No one approached this bloody bonfire, and even the insects avoided this area.
It wasn't until the sky turned dark and night gradually fell that a dark shadow quietly appeared in the center of the messy battlefield.
The shadow turned into a blurry figure. He looked at the bonfire that was still burning, and only a pile of Embers was left. He waved his right hand lightly, and shadows entered the remains, as if he was looking for something. After rummaging for a while, his movements suddenly paused, as if he had found something inside.
The shadow tentacles wrapped around a black metal piece, and he was about to take it out of the ashes to confirm if it was what he wanted.
Suddenly, a slight cracking sound came from the ashes, as if some mechanism had been triggered. The figure's expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned into a shadow, trying to leave the scene.
But he was still a little too slow.
A terrifying blue lightning suddenly erupted, instantly annihilating the ashes. The destructive power of the lightning swept in all directions, covering a radius of tens of meters.
The roaring lightning was like thunder, and the blue electric arc lit up the night sky. The plasma bomb instantly turned the surroundings into a lightning purgatory.
The lightning came and went quickly. In just a few seconds, the blue electric arc that lit up the night sky disappeared, and a charred figure fell from the sky. The figure lay on the ground with black smoke coming out of it. It seemed that there was no sign of life in it.
In the distance, a lurking figure clearly saw the process of his companion's death, and his eyes were filled with fear.
A third-order shadow ability user died just like that!
Died under the terrifying electric arc of the plasma bomb!
"What a ruthless method!"
The lurking figure quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He hesitated for a while, but in the end, he didn't dare to collect his companion's corpse.
Just as he was about to leave, a muffled sniper gunshot suddenly broke the silence of the night. The lurking figure's expression stiffened, and his head was like a watermelon that had been hit hard, instantly shattering.
The echo of the sniper rifle slowly disappeared, and the wilderness fell into silence again, as if nothing had happened. Only the two corpses on the ground proved that a short confrontation had just taken place here.
Lionheart Castle.
Venom's base.
"Snake Spider didn't come back, nor did Shadow and Spanner. You want to tell me that a first-order mission cost us one second-order and two third-order?"
The leader of Venom roared angrily, and a dark green poisonous aura surrounded him, as if it could explode at any time.
The gray-haired old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his head, and said:
"This mission involves the Wolf's Teeth Hunt, and it may be a trap for us!"
The leader of Venom stared at him, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"So, Snake Spider stepped into this trap, and Shadow and Spanner also fell into it!"
The old man lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Three members had died at once, and two of them were third-order. Even if Venom had many members, this was an unbearable blow. It wasn't so easy to recruit third-order members.
Especially Shadow, a third-order Elemental Domain that could control shadows. His ability had always been Venom's trump card, and he had completed many dangerous missions.
"Ghost Lizard, according to the rules, you have made such a big mistake. I should let your whole family reunite in the underworld!"
Ghost Lizard lowered his head, and his body trembled slightly. He knew that this sentence was definitely not a casual threat, and it could become a reality at any time.
He didn't try to explain, because the more he explained, the faster he would die!
The leader of Venom stared at Ghost Lizard for a long time, and then slowly said:
"You have been with me for seventeen years. Seeing that you have been loyal all these years, I can give you a chance. You should know what to do!"
Ghost Lizard didn't dare to hesitate and said with a trembling voice:
"Don't worry, leader. The next mission to ambush Wolf's Teeth in the old city, I will definitely make up for my mistakes!
I will kill everyone in Wolf's Teeth Hunt! "
"Very good!" The leader of Venom said indifferently.
"However, I don't want just Wolf's Teeth Hunt. I want everyone in the Iron Chariots to go back alive!"
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, I won't let you die!
When the time comes, not only will Venom take action, but the people of Night Blade will also take action. The people from the other gathering points will also take action. The Lion King has personally promised me that as long as we can heavily injure the Iron Chariots and take down this old city, we will obtain a mechanical equipment and three Tier 3 Gene Serums from the Black Steel Shelter. "
"As long as you can complete the mission, you can choose one of the three Tier 3 Gene Serums!"
Ghost Lizard's breathing became heavy. The Black Steel Shelter's Tier 3 Gene Serums could almost 100% awaken a Tier 3 ability.
Although he was a Tier 3, he only had one Tier 3 ability. If he could awaken another Tier 3 ability, his strength would be greatly improved.
"Thank you, leader!"
The leader of Venom nodded lightly, seemingly very satisfied with Ghost Lizard's attitude, and waved his hand at him.
"Go and clean up the aftermath of this matter. I don't want to hear any more bad news!"
"Yes!"
Ghost Lizard lowered his head and left the room. Only when he was far away and returned to his residence did he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Snake Spider actually failed. That damned trash!" Ghost Lizard couldn't help but curse.
Ghost Lizard anxiously paced back and forth in his room a few times. He couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the troublesome situation that he was facing.
When the leader said to clean up the aftermath, not only did he want to suppress the impact of this matter on Venom, but he also wanted to eliminate Snake Spider's family. Only by pushing all the blame onto Snake Spider could he be free of responsibility.
Snake Spider's restless pacing alerted the people who were resting in the inner room. A charming woman around the age of thirty pushed open the door and walked out.
"Boss, did something happen?" The woman asked softly.
Ghost Lizard hesitated for a while, and finally told her everything that happened today.
After five years of sharing the same bed, Ghost Lizard had slowly begun to trust this woman. Moreover, he knew that although this woman was only a Tier 1 ability user, she was very smart. The previous few times when they were in danger, it was her who helped them come up with plans and strategies. In the end, they were saved.
"Swallow, what do you think I should do now?
Snake Spider has a few friends in Lionheart Castle. If I push all the blame onto Snake Spider and kill his wife and children, those people will definitely hold a grudge against me. If I don't kill them, I won't be able to explain it to the leader. "
The woman called Swallow by Ghost Lizard was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"If we kill all of Snake Spider's wife and children, the next ones will be you and me!"
"What do you mean?" Ghost Lizard looked at her, wanting to know why she came to such a terrifying conclusion.
"If we really kill all of the Iron Chariots in the old city, do you think the leader will really give you a Tier 3 potion after receiving the reward promised by Lion King?"
"Why not?" Ghost Lizard asked, puzzled.
"Although the leader is ruthless, he never goes back on his promises easily. Since he promised me a potion, he should give it to me after the matter is done."
"I'm just worried that we can't complete the ambush of the Iron Chariots!"
"It's not that simple." The woman shook her head.
"If it's something else, the leader will certainly not break the promise in order to maintain his dignity. However, the Tier 3 potion of the Black Steel Shelter is very precious even to him. How can he give it to you so easily?"
"The leader will at least leave one potion for himself. As for the remaining potions, he still has his own children. He has three children on the surface, and there will only be more children in the dark. Between the continuation of his bloodline and nothingness of loyalty, which do you think he will choose?"
"As for the other two potions, he might give one to his subordinates as a reward, but it definitely won't be you. Think about it yourself. Embers, Luo Fanxiao, and the others also need the Tier 3 potion. Will the leader give it to you or to them?"
Ghost Lizard was obviously stunned. Although Embers and Luo Fanxiao were both Tier 3 like him, they had multiple Tier 3 abilities. Moreover, they were younger than him. If he was the leader, he would also prioritize the two of them. There was no way he would give the Tier 3 potion to an old man who only had one Tier 3 ability and was over 50 years old.
"If the leader didn't promise you this Tier 3 potion, you might still be able to survive after completing the mission. However, with this promise, once you complete the mission, this Tier 3 potion will be your death warrant!"
"The leader's promise is certainly not empty words. However, as long as you die, naturally no one will know what he said today!"
"You know the leader's temper very well. He is definitely not that kind of benevolent person. He will definitely severely punish those who make mistakes. He will not forgive your mistakes just because you have been with him for a long time. Today's matter, the leader will definitely settle accounts with you in the future. Even if he doesn't show up, Embers or Luo Fanxiao will come and kill you!"
"I remember that Luo Fanxiao and Snake Spider have a very good relationship. You are the enemy of Snake Spider's family, so he will definitely hold a grudge against you. Once the leader has the slightest intention of killing you, he will definitely be willing to personally avenge Snake Spider!"
A faint light flashed in the woman's eyes, and her voice became softer and softer, as if it could seep into the depths of a person's heart.
Ghost Lizard was originally not so easily affected. However, after being deterred by Venom today and feeling the threat of death, a hole unknowingly appeared in his heart, which Swallow took advantage of.
His expression changed from suspicion to contemplation, then to fear, and finally to absolute conviction.
Under Swallow's persuasion, Ghost Lizard seemed to see the scene of him being courageously dealt with by Luo Fanxiao. A thought that he had never thought of quietly surfaced in his mind.
I can't die in Luo Fanxiao's hands like this!
I have to save myself!
If Venom can't tolerate me, then I will leave Venom!
If Lionheart Castle can't tolerate me, then I will leave Lionheart Castle!
I am a third rank ability user!
I am also a C rank hunter!
There will definitely be a place for me to stay!
"Swallow, tell me, what should I do now?
Should we take advantage of the fact that Venom hasn't discovered us and leave Lionheart Castle now?
Let's go to another gathering point and start over! "Ghost Lizard said in a panic.
Swallow gently hugged Ghost Lizard and leaned her head on his chest, comforting his uneasiness and fear.
"No!
We can't leave now. If we leave now, we won't be able to escape Venom's pursuit! "
"Before the mission to ambush and kill the Iron Chariots in the old city is over, Venom won't touch you, so before that, we are all safe."
"You can follow Venom's instructions and kill the Snake Spider's family first and push the blame for this failure onto the Snake Spider. This way, you can temporarily escape from the vortex of this matter."
"If we want to leave Lionheart Castle safely and leave Venom, it won't be easy. We need to find the right opportunity!"
"Many people know that you are Venom's man. If you want to leave Venom and Lionheart Castle, it is best to prepare a proof of allegiance first!"
"The liquidation of the old city is the best opportunity!
Venom doesn't believe you, but I do!
With your intelligence and strength, as long as you seize this opportunity, you will definitely be able to get a proof of allegiance and find a chance to go to other gathering points! "
