"What's going on here?!"

Many hunters looked at the messy castle hall with shocked faces.

Everyone saw Zhou Jing standing on the body of the short-haired man and pulling out a long knife.

"Jason?!"

Weiss screamed.

The others also recognized Zhou Jing, who was covered in blood, and felt shocked.

During the day, Jason only drank and chatted with them in the tavern. How could he go on a killing spree in the lord's castle at night? And he was hurting both of them!

What happened during this half day!

Because they were unclear about the situation, many hunters didn't know what to do. They stopped at the open door and made no move. They stared blankly at Zhou Jing dragging the blood stains and moving step by step.

In full view of everyone, Zhou Jing staggered towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

His vision was blurred, his jaw was broken, and he was in severe pain like torn nerves.

His chest and abdomen suffered the heavy blow from the short-haired man who was about to die. Many ribs were broken, and his internal organs were also shattered. If it weren't for his [Tenacious] talent, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.

Suffering such a heavy blow, he was injured more and more, and he was already at the end of his strength. Before, he held his breath to maintain the lightning attack, squeezing the last strength from the bones, and then took advantage of the only opportunity to revive his followers to exchange injuries for injuries.

Kill the short-haired man.

After succeeding at this time, Zhou Jing could no longer maintain his strength. His strength was flowing away rapidly. He was bleeding everywhere in his body, and he couldn't even lift the knife.

This body has fatal injuries, coupled with the collapsed genes, it is no longer possible to survive...

Life is like a candle in the wind, death is so close, and the remaining life is probably counted in seconds.

Zhou Jing knew that his death was imminent, so he dragged his broken and heavy body towards the lord.

Dozens of guards crowded in front of the stairs. Seeing Zhou Jing stumbling closer, they all hurriedly retreated up the steps and crowded into the corridor on the second floor.

Every time Zhou Jing took a step forward, many guards hurriedly took two steps back.

After witnessing the battle just now, they were all frightened. At this moment, they were only afraid of Zhou Jing.

Even though he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it looked like anyone could knock him down, but still no guard dared to step forward to hit him and kept retreating.

At the end of the corridor behind the crowd, Root's face was pale and his teeth were trembling.

He wanted to turn around and escape upstairs, but his legs and feet refused to obey him.

The short-haired man had been steadily gaining the upper hand before, so Root watched the battle calmly, not afraid of Zhou Jing threatening him at all.

But he didn't expect that the good situation would take a turn for the worse, and that his greatest confidence would be killed on the spot!

His attention was focused on Zhou Jing and the short-haired man throughout the process. After Ross was easily killed, he did not pay attention to the corpse lying on the battlefield. He only thought that it was a soldier who was sent to die.

So when Rose came back to life and quietly attacked the short-haired man, Root didn't understand the situation at all. He also didn't notice how Rose's head grew back. His first reaction was that he was dazzled and the short-haired man was careless and didn't kill Rose.

Only then did he have the energy to get up.

At this moment, no one around can stop Zhou Jing!

Root finally panicked.

Although there were more than thirty guards in front of him separating himself from Zhou Jing...

Although Zhou Jing only had one breath left...

But as the evil spirit surged into the sky and Zhou Jing, who looked like an evil ghost, slowly approached, Lute still felt suffocating fear!

He seemed to be able to see Zhou Jing walking through the crowd and nailing himself to the wall with a knife!

Let me tell you how I feel now...

Regret, quite a lot of regret!

The seven guards of different blood were all dead, and even the short-haired man was hated!

Who knew this guy could fight so well?!

"Save...save..."

Root stammered when he suddenly saw many hunters gathered downstairs. His eyes suddenly lit up and he was ignited with hope, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

He shouted loudly towards the many hunters who were confused:

"Hunters, stop him quickly! He wants to kill me!"

After the words fell, several hunters subconsciously took steps to rush to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.

But the next moment, Weiss suddenly raised his hand and stopped several people.

Several people turned around with surprised expressions.

"What's wrong? Why don't you stop Jason?"

"If he wants to attack the lord, we can't just watch, right?"

Weiss did not respond immediately. He looked at the dying Zhou Jing, his face twitching.

With his eyes, he could also see that Zhou Jing's injury was likely to be fatal.

After all, he was a companion who had been teaching for three months and had fought side by side. Seeing Zhou Jing's miserable appearance, Weiss was shocked and angry.

The traces of a bloody battle for the rest of his life cannot be faked.

He really wanted to know what happened to Zhou Jing in the half day after he said goodbye to him.

Since Jason went to the lord's castle, there must be a reason, and it must be related to the lord!

"If you don't know what the situation is, don't take action." Weiss said quietly.

Someone hesitated and said: "How can you not take action? After all, he is the lord. You can't just watch Jason kill him, right?"

Hearing this, many hunters looked at each other.

They didn't know why Zhou Jing got into a fight with the lord's men, but something must have happened.

But Lute is the lord, and everyone doesn't know what to do.

Logically speaking, they should protect the lord, but from the perspective of hunters, they should also protect their own people.

It's impossible to help Jason kill the city lord without knowing anything about it.

After all, there has never been a precedent before where a hunter of exotic beasts wanted to kill the city lord!

Seeing that many hunters hesitated to intervene, Lute became anxious and shouted quickly:

"I don't know what happened at all. He killed my guards inexplicably, and then suddenly rushed into the castle to kill me. I don't even understand what happened! If you have any questions, stop him first and ask again!"

Hearing this, several hunters thought it was reasonable, no longer hesitated, and rushed to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.

The other hunters had no choice but to follow.

One of the hunters rushed to Zhou Jing's side and immediately held down Zhou Jing's shoulders.

"Stop it, what's going on?"

Zhou Jing stopped and turned to look at him.

The hunter's heart skipped a beat, and for some reason, he subconsciously let go of his hand.

Zhou Jing ignored him and looked past the dozens of trembling guards with increasingly blurred vision to look at the nervous Root behind him.

My body no longer has the strength to move forward.

This is the final blow...

He raised the knife with difficulty and threw it out, as if all his strength had been exhausted.

call out……

The blade rotated and flew through the crowd.

But halfway through, he lost strength and fell from the air.

A clanking sound.

The long knife stained with blood fell in front of Root.

thump!

Lute sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at the long knife on the ground in horror, trembling with fear.

At the same time, Zhou Jing's body also fell down and fell to the ground with a thud.

Many hunters were startled.

Weiss hurriedly squatted down, supported Zhou Jing, checked for breath, and said in a deep voice: "Dead."

Hearing this, the faces of many hunters changed, and they didn't know what their expressions were.

I felt sad and angry at the death of a fellow hunter, but I couldn't stop feeling confused.

"He...he's dead?"

Root heard it from a distance, and his heart suddenly dropped.

My mood fluctuated greatly, and I almost collapsed.

My underwear was wet, and I broke into a cold sweat without realizing it.

Root was still frightened.

Fortunately, the short-haired man and the hunter fought so hard that both sides were injured, and they basically died together. If this man still had fighting ability, it seemed that he would not give up until he was killed today.

Seeing that Jason was dead, Root's regret suddenly faded a lot and turned into happiness and fear.

It seems that his destiny is not yet over, and luck is still favoring him...

Escaped!

At this moment, Weber suddenly strode closer, pushed aside all the guards, and stood in front of Root.

"What happened?"

Weber's tone was solemn.

Many hunters followed silently, passed through the guards who did not dare to move, and gathered around Root.

Root's breath caught in his throat and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Because of Zhou Jing, these hunters who were usually trustworthy suddenly made him feel in danger, bringing a strong sense of oppression.

He suddenly realized that the trouble was far from over.

If Zhou Jing was caught behind closed doors and solved quietly, this matter would be much easier to handle, but now that it is being witnessed by many hunters, it is not good.

However, after Jason died, no one knew that Maggi had accepted his order to intercept him. It seemed that there was still a chance to get rid of the relationship...

Root quickly suppressed the tension in his heart and stood up, pretending to be puzzled:

"I don't know. Jason suddenly came to my door and brought the heads of several of my guards with different blood. He said he wanted me to give an explanation, but I didn't know what happened. I saw that he killed my guards, so I planned to

Let’s capture him first, I didn’t expect it to develop like this…”

"Maggi?" Weber frowned.

"I'm not sure. It seems like there was some conflict between Maggi and Jason. Maybe he did something privately without telling me, so Jason came to me... I will investigate clearly."

Root barely maintained his composure, speaking mixed truths and falsehoods, just wanting to stabilize the many hunters.

Even if you want to throw dirty water on Zhou Jing, you don't dare to do it now.

Everyone was silent and half-believing.

In the past, it was quite pleasant for them to cooperate with the lord, and there was a foundation of trust among everyone.

But Zhou Jing's determination to kill the lord today shook everyone's minds.

Although I don't know what happened, Zhou Jing is one of them. There must be a reason for this, and the lord must have done something.

And regardless of all reasons, Jason died in the hands of the lord's men... The lord's men killed an exotic beast hunter, and no one could pretend it didn't happen.

Jason is the most talented person among them. Everyone thinks that he has a bright future and has the opportunity to become a legendary beast hunter.

But he didn't expect that such a genius would die like this, not on the battlefield fighting alien beasts, but in the lord's castle.

What a pity!

Looking at the many silent hunters, Root became more and more nervous and did not dare to show any signs of guilt.

After a long time, Weber slowly spoke:

"We are waiting for you to give us an explanation about this matter. If it doesn't satisfy us..."

There is no need to say the rest, the meaning is already obvious.

Root didn't dare to say anything and could only agree. He didn't dare to act like a lord like before.

After Weber finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, returned to Jason, and picked up Jason's body around his waist.

The hunters followed and crowded around.

Seeing this, Root couldn't help but ask:

"You, where are you going to take him?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Weiss said something coldly.

They couldn't just sit back and watch the body of a fellow hunter hang out there.

They only have one idea now, which is to bring Jason back to Frostwood Village.

The hunters took Jason's body and left.

Root opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything to dissuade him.

He could guess that everyone would take the body to Frostwood Village.

However, there is a Baron in Frostwood Village who is a semi-informed person. If the hunters join him and combine the intelligence, they will learn about the corruption of the potion and become more suspicious of Jason's experience. They will feel that it is related to this.

Then doubt yourself again.

But Root had no way to stop it.

The power he could use in his hands was almost completely cut off by Zhou Jing alone, and now he couldn't do anything to Balon at all.

The tribe's people were too far away to mobilize quickly...and he didn't dare to go against so many hunters.

If Balon dies again, these hunters will most likely understand the situation quickly and will definitely settle the score with him... Root no longer dares to act rashly.

The goatee must be hidden or silenced directly. Baron must not be allowed to see this person in the city...

Root's face was uncertain and he could only try his best to find a way to remedy the situation.

He has been trying to build a good relationship with most of the hunters, but now the changes brought about by Zhou Jing have caused the hunters to become alienated from him, almost all previous efforts have been wasted, and many hidden dangers have been planted.

However, although the subsequent situation was terrible, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

'Anyway, it's not me who died, at least I'm still alive.'

Lute covered his heart, his heart pounding, full of joy of surviving the disaster.

On the other side, many town residents were also attracted by the noise. Regardless of the curfew, they came to the lord's longhouse one after another and looked at the mess here in surprise.

Many residents were whispering to each other and making a lot of noise.

Among the crowd of onlookers, an inconspicuous man saw the body of the short-haired man on the ground. His pupils shrank immediately, and he immediately slipped out of the crowd and left quietly.

…

After Jason Wood, the astral apostle, was killed in battle, Zhou Jing's consciousness returned directly.

After passing through the flowing light tunnel, Zhou Jing quickly returned to the shuttle preparation space.

As soon as he came back, he received a waterfall of panel information:
