He Ao didn't move, but coughed slightly, and some blood oozed from the wound.
Boom-boom-boom-
A loud noise came from outside the metal door. It was a violent guy with many tentacles who was knocking on the door.
The person behind him didn't speak, but stopped when he was still a certain distance away from He Ao. The strong stiffness, accompanied by a trace of exhaustion, began to impact He Ao's consciousness.
He Ao felt that he was gradually losing control of his body.
He turned around with difficulty and looked behind him. What caught his eye was a man dressed in pure black with a face as sharp as a knife.
He Ao naturally knew this person. He was the 'gravekeeper' who bumped into the commentator on the ship.
The tombkeeper looked at He Ao with cold eyes. He held tightly in his hand a crystal ball about ten centimeters in diameter with deep purple mist wandering inside.
Two giant wolves with brown hair and a body length of two meters stood quietly behind the tomb guard.
He Ao had seen this giant wolf on the way here. It was a D-class gregarious creature. He led by 'Liu Nan' and bypassed the habitat of these wolves.
At this moment, the two wolves following the tomb guard had lost their vitality and looked like corpses that had been manipulated by someone.
This 'gravekeeper' may have some ability to control corpses, just like those big octopuses.
Judging from the previous experience of fighting giant lizards, these dead 'giant wolves' may not be weaker than when they were alive, and may even be more difficult to fight because they are not afraid of pain.
Being able to easily control two D-level giant wolves, it is natural that the 'gravekeeper' in front of him cannot really be an ordinary 'E-level' special researcher.
He Ao felt that his body was getting stiffer. He turned around with difficulty and leaned his back against the wall, relying on the cold metal wall to support his body.
He looked at the man in front of him, "Let me guess who you are,"
He paused and looked at the man's face with a smile, "Dawn?"
The moment he uttered these two words, the man's face changed slightly.
It seems I guessed it right.
He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess this. Liming has kidnapped Liu Nan before.
Although the kidnapping of Liu Nan looks like an ordinary kidnapping, it becomes clear when Liu Nan's father Liu Zhengyun happens to be the discoverer of the ruins and holds the quota to enter the ruins.
.
Li Ming actually wanted to get Liu Zhengyun to provide them with a quota to enter the ruins by holding Liu Nan hostage.
This matter was ultimately declared a failure due to He Ao's participation, and Liming completely offended Liu Zhengyun. Naturally, there was no way to get a quota from Liu Zhengyun.
Then they can only find solutions elsewhere.
It is naturally difficult to sneak into the well-organized formal researchers, but it is not difficult to sneak into the loosely managed special researchers. Moreover, this tombkeeper may not have become a special researcher recently, and is probably a secret of Li Ming.
However, going through the institute's channel is much more troublesome than going through Liu Zhengyun's channel. Everything taken out of the ruins needs to be inspected by the institute.
So Liming was probably prepared with both hands. If Liu Nan succeeded in kidnapping, she would go to Liu Zhengyun's route. If she didn't succeed in kidnapping, she would go to the Special Research Institute.
To sum up, Liming is naturally the most likely organization behind the scenes.
But these clues were limited to He Ao's knowledge, and he could only guess what they meant.
Obviously, judging from the performance of the 'Gravekeeper', there is nothing wrong with his guess.
At this moment, He Ao and the 'Grave Keeper' were in a fragile balance. He Ao was seriously injured and could not move easily. The Grave Keeper was afraid of He Ao's combat effectiveness in fighting those tentacles and kept a distance.
, trying to control He Ao with some kind of ability.
After He Ao exposed his identity, although the tombkeeper's expression changed slightly, he did not speak, but accelerated his actions to control He Ao.
He Ao felt that the stiffness was getting stronger and stronger, his legs had begun to lose feeling, and the purple smoke in the crystal ball in the hands of the 'gravekeeper' began to flicker rapidly.
Does it rely on the external force of the crystal ball?
Through the guarded expression of the 'gravekeeper' and the movements of his hands, He Ao probably had an idea of the strength of the gravekeeper.
"Your plan is perfect," he looked at the tombkeeper and chuckled, "but guess, why am I here?"
The tombkeeper's hand stopped for a moment, and he looked at He Ao with some surprise.
Their plan is top secret, and only a few people in the entire Dawn Organization know about it. There is no record of this tower in the research institute's information, let alone the central control room. In this era of sparse information about the ruins, this tower
The existence itself is a secret.
He Ao's words disrupted all his thoughts.
Did the institute discover this tower? Or was there a traitor within the organization?
Since dawn can plant nails in the institute, then the institute can also plant nails in dawn.
Well, is it possible that I am not the only traitor within the organization?
This possibility is extremely low, but it is not impossible.
His emotional confusion only lasted for a moment, and he quickly calmed down. At this moment, he was at an advantage and He Ao was at a disadvantage. As long as he stabilized and completely controlled He Ao and killed this guy, no matter what the opponent was,
It doesn't matter how it came about.
Even if there is a traitor, there will naturally be people within the organization to investigate.
However, the moment he figured it out, he suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his chest.
The pure white bone sword pierced his heart, and blood with a faint purple glow splashed out, sprinkling on the blood-stained and dirt-stained cheeks of the young man opposite.
"You're distracted."
He Ao slowly pulled out the sword from the chest of the 'gravekeeper'.
The bright red blood surged like a fountain.
On such a battlefield, the slightest distraction can be the difference between life and death.
He Ao turned off his super memory. At this moment, his Dantian was empty, and the last half of his energy was exhausted. In the blow just now, he used all his strength to break through those rigid controls in an instant, and suddenly burst into flames.
hit.
This is martial arts, life and death are only in one sword.
After the 'Gravekeeper' fell, the two ferocious giant wolves also slowly fell. They didn't even take any action, and the battle was over.
The strength of the gravekeeper should be at the peak of D level, not C level.
When he was sure that the tombkeeper was dead, He Ao staggered to his knees and gasped for air.
This battle is really endless.
He panted for a while, and then sat weakly on his knees like this. He maintained this posture for a long time.
No one took the opportunity to attack him.
Just after a fierce battle, he showed extreme weakness. This is usually the best time to make a sneak attack. If no one makes a sneak attack at this time, then there should be no one else.
He Ao turned on Super Memory again, glanced around to make sure there was no one else, then slowly reached out his hand and pulled out the crystal ball from the tombkeeper's hand.
The Gravekeeper is only D-level, but this crystal ball should be a C-level extraordinary item.
