As Swart watched, Goethe flashed out of the shadows, and the [Shadow Snake Dagger] in his hand passed directly over the neck of the deer-headed monster.
puff!
Blood spurted out.
The deer's head is raised.
The body staggered.
Kneel down slowly.
call!
A cone-shaped flame shot out from Goethe's hand, completely covering the deer-headed monster.
The explosive-level flames quickly devoured the monster's body.
Goethe turned his head and looked at the stunned Swart, reminding him.
"Dynamite."
"Ah? I X!"
After coming back to his senses, Swart slapped the lead repeatedly, covering the lead with his blood-stained palm, letting it gradually extinguish.
After doing all this, Swart completely relaxed and looked at Goethe with a grateful expression on his face.
"Sure enough, I can always trust Goethe!"
Swart thought silently in his heart.
Afterwards, the police sergeant sat slumped in the cave, unable to stand up.
The roar just now seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body.
Now?
I just want to lean here and not move.
However, when he saw Goethe beginning to inspect the cave, the police sergeant immediately stood up and helped with the inspection.
"This Wendigo is a bit strange. It looks like it is not fully developed, but it has enough food, so it cannot be that it is not fully developed."
Silla checked her surroundings and frowned.
Swart looked confused.
"Look at this cave, it's about 3.5 meters high, and a normal Wendigo is over 5 meters tall. This kind of cave is too oppressive for a normal Wendigo."
Silla explained.
"You mean, I met a sick man?"
Swart couldn't accept it.
He was almost killed, but turned out to be a sick man?
Anyone faced with such a fact will collapse.
"It's not a sick man."
"It should be..."
"Some kind of mutation?"
Silla's tone was less certain.
Although she has the guidance of her teacher, Sheila is not a monster scholar in the true sense. Being able to discover the differences in Wendigo is already the limit. Do you want to know more information?
Basically impossible.
Goethe, who confirmed this, continued to scan the cave.
Nothing was found except the five hanging bodies.
There are signs of monster life here, but nothing more.
"Go collect ammo from the corpses."
As Goethe spoke, he opened his own box - not a small box containing gold, but a large box that looked like clothing.
After opening, the explosives were neatly placed inside.
“You’re just going to take the train with this?!”
Silla exclaimed.
"They make me feel safe."
Goethe spoke calmly and began to decorate the cave.
Meeting up with Swart is the first step in the plan.
But the second step is the most critical!
Change from passive to active!
Kill the pursuers behind you!
Seeing Goethe's calm look, Silla really wanted to open Goethe's head and see what was inside, and what kind of experience could make someone go out with a box of explosives without changing his face?
Is he really crazy?
Inexplicably, Silla's eyes glowed with wisdom.
However, when Goethe's eyes swept over, Silla immediately began to help arrange it.
She opened her suitcase and took out a beautifully crafted and beautiful lady's case, similar to a cosmetic bag.
But there are no cosmetics inside at all.
But two metal cans.
What's inside is...
Fire oil!
"Are these two crazy?"
"Who would bring explosives and kerosene with them when they go out?"
Swart looked at Goethe and Sheila, his eyes twitching wildly, and he tightened the explosives on himself completely subconsciously.
…
The afternoon sun becomes more and more fierce.
Even though it's winter in the north for half the year, the sunshine at the end of June still makes people feel hot.
Root led his men forward, everyone was panting and sweating profusely.
Wearing leather armor and tall, Lute has scars on his face and messy hair, and he looks very vicious.
He has a long sword and revolver on his waist, a telescope hanging on his chest, and a spear in his hand. The spear at this moment is used by Root as a hiking stick.
The entire team of ten people, except for three people with extra backpacks, were all dressed similarly.
The three people carrying backpacks also had revolvers around their waists, but they did not have swords or spears, obviously to reduce weight.
However, no matter how much they reduced the weight, the three of them were still panting heavily from exhaustion just like the others.
However, no one dared to sit down and rest.
because……
The target person ran away!
When he thought of this, Root wanted to kill the guy from Halest who was in charge of tracking with one shot. He couldn't even watch two big men, and he was still claiming to be an elite.
"What a waste!"
"If it weren't for your Lord's order, I would have sunk these bastards into the Simle River to feed the fish!"
Root cursed angrily.
None of the subordinates around him objected.
After all, this was not their mission in the first place.
They just cooperate.
Who knew those guys were so unreliable.
Thinking of this, these subordinates became more and more dissatisfied.
"Boss! Boss!"
"I found something!"
One of the men in front ran back.
"How about it?"
Although he was full of resentment in his heart, Root did not hesitate and followed his men to the location where the Wendigo attacked. After careful inspection, the leader's face became serious.
"Apply the potion!"
After giving the order, the three men carrying backpacks immediately took out the potions from their backpacks and handed them to the people around them.
After finishing applying it, they followed the dragging traces and found the cave.
Root gestured to his two men, and they immediately put down the spears in their hands, holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, and cautiously entered the cave.
About two minutes later, a subordinate ran out——
"Boss, those guys from 'Halester' were hung up by the Wendigo and used as food reserves."
"waste!"
"Did you find anything else?"
"Where's the guy with Gold Wein?"
Root cursed again.
"I didn't notice it. He must have taken advantage of the chaos and ran away."
The subordinate shook his head and said.
"Consider him lucky!"
"Where's the Wendigo?"
Root continued to ask.
"They must have been killed - we saw burnt bodies and some signs of battle, but it was too messy for us to judge."
The subordinate told the truth.
"Leave two people to guard outside. The rest of you, light your torches and come in with me."
Root gave the order and everyone took action.
Two men were standing guard outside with guns drawn.
All the remaining people entered the cave.
Then--
boom!
After an explosion, the entire cave began to collapse.
Root and others who entered it were drowned by rocks before they could react.
"roar!"
Root roared angrily.
An invisible force field formed on his body, blocking the impact of the gravel.
But it didn't work at all.
Because the real killer move is not these gravels at all.
The flames spread silently.
The next moment, Root was engulfed in flames.
Root, whose whole body was on fire, looked at the two men guarding the entrance of the cave, with a fierce look on his face.
The next moment——
"Ahhh!"
The two people guarding the door screamed and fell to the ground.
After a few quick twitches, he no longer breathed.
This scene made Goethe, who was just about to take action to arrest people alive, frown.
"This, this...is a group of dead soldiers, right?"
Swart couldn't help but take a breath.
As the police chief of Luster, Swart has seen many desperadoes, but he is certain that no desperado can reach this level.
Of course, dead soldiers are not terrible.
The scary thing is the people behind the dead soldiers.
Undoubtedly a big shot!
And now, they are facing such a big shot.
Swart's face turned pale again.
"Goethe, why don't we run?"
"Luster isn't safe either."
"Going to Hallest is a dead end. Sure enough, Tesin can't stay any longer. Let's go abroad, take a boat to Fabol, and then wait anonymously until the weather calms down."
The police chief expressed his opinion.
"waste!"
Silla commented as always.
Goethe examined the body.
His lack of extraordinary knowledge prevented him from confirming the cause of death of the corpse.
Fortunately, Sheila knew.
"It is a contract similar to drug cooperation, where one person controls one or several people, and then this person in charge will also be controlled by a higher-level person - in Tesin, such methods rarely appear, and most of them are in the legal system.
It is said among the traditional nobles of the Kingdom of Boer and Rudes that many people like to use this method, especially the Rudes, who regard it as a manifestation of 'loyalty'."
"Fabol Ruddus?"
"It's over, it's no longer safe abroad."
Swart looked desperate.
Goethe was thoughtful.
"If these people die, will the controller know?"
Goethe asked.
"Some will, some won't."
"Such means are not cheap."
"Everyone who signs a contract needs a sum of gold grams as support. If there are additional conditions, the gold grams will be doubled."
Silla explained.
"is that so?"
Goethe whispered to himself and began to inspect the battlefield. After confirming that there were no survivors and no valuable information, he stood up and picked up the luggage that was placed in the hiding place.
There is no need to stay now.
Of course, I will never return to the town again.
Not to mention waiting for the train to leave again.
He wanted to take advantage of this hard-earned 'open moment' and head directly to Hallest.
Only in Hallestus can there be temporary safety.
If you stay here, the other side will just send a steady stream of chasing troops.
After all, this place should be quite important to the other party.
Thinking about the identity of the dead soldiers and the medicine that the team of dead soldiers had just applied, Goethe narrowed his eyes slightly and walked faster and faster.
This time, he didn't just smell conspiracy.
He is already involved in a conspiracy.
Goethe would never forget why he came to the north.
It is to inherit a share of the legacy of Duke Scrooge.
And now?
He was 'led' into this situation step by step by the people who blocked him from going to the North, which means that the people who blocked him from going to 'Halest' should be familiar with the people who planned this place.
And it was determined that the power here could kill him.
Even, most likely, it is just one person.
Of course, it is also possible to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
However, these are not important!
The important thing is...
Who could be the person who stops him from going to Halest?
