In the thin morning mist, Li He stood on the deck and looked at the people boarding the ship.
In his sight, a mother and daughter appeared.
The mother is in her early thirties, with a plump figure, but her eyes are full of sorrow. The daughter is thirteen or fourteen years old, tall and slender, with a frown and a rather unhappy expression. She was the one she met on the "Captain Griffith's Daughter" before.
Yes, the mother and daughter who were suspected of being hunted.
Compared with the last time they met, both of their clothes were a little messy. Their arms, calves, and other parts of their bodies had marks of being bandaged with cloth. They walked slower, so they must have been injured.
The two paid the fare and stepped onto the ship, then stood on the edge of the deck. They did not move away when the ship started. They just looked at the scenery in the distance on the shore quietly, not knowing what they were looking at.
So, didn't the other party die on the "Captain Griffith's Daughter"... Li He looked at the other party and had this idea in his mind... This is a bit strange. It seems that when the "Captain Griffith's Daughter" sank, something happened.
Something happened that I didn't expect.
"Master, those two are the ones we met on the last ship." At this time, the devil Alex appeared behind him and whispered, "Last time you said they would bring trouble, look at them this time
It looks like there is indeed trouble, do you want to avoid it and get off the boat at the next pier?"
"No need." Li He shook his head, "They will get off the boat at the next pier."
"ah?"
"I didn't bring any luggage, and I didn't buy a cabin ticket. Do you think I would stay on the ship for a long time? Moreover, as soon as I got on the ship, I stood at the most convenient place to get off the ship. I haven't moved until now. It is very likely that I will get off the ship.
We will disembark at the pier." Li He said slowly.
"Oh." Alex nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and looked at the mother and daughter not far away. He looked at the mother and daughter for a long time, thoughtfully, "It seems to be what you said, Master..."
"In addition..." Li He added, "In addition, even if the other party does not get off the ship, it will be fine. The blood-thirsty bees caught last time are still quite useful. I was just trying to find out what happened on the 'Captain Griffith's Daughter' that day.
What happened and how did we attract the blood-thirsty bees?"
"Were they the cause of the black bugs that came out of the water that night?" Alex asked.
Li He did not answer directly. He glanced to the side and said, "Have you seen that person?"
Alex followed his gaze and saw a burly man standing not far from his mother and daughter.
The man is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with muscles that stretch his clothes to the point of splitting. His exposed skin is bronze in color, and his sharp eyes are constantly scanning the surroundings. He sometimes steps forward, but never takes ten steps away from the noble mother and daughter.
.
"It seems like a guard, or a subordinate?" Alex said in surprise, "It seems that he is protecting the mother and daughter. His strength should be pretty good among ordinary people, but it's strange. I haven't seen him on the previous ship."
"Indeed, we haven't seen them on the previous ship, but now we have them. It means that after the previous ship sank, the mother and daughter went through a lot of things, and the other party is not as simple as they imagined. Therefore, the blood-thirsty bees may have something to do with each other.
, one-third probability."
"Oh." Alex nodded slightly to show his understanding.
After that, Li Hyuk said nothing, retracted his gaze from the noble mother and daughter, and continued to think about obtaining neutralizing blood.
The ship continued to move forward, leaving the "White Shell Pier" far behind, and sailed down the Lemmon River, all the way north, towards its destination of Lensa.
After driving for a long time, a new pier appeared ahead.
But this was obviously not part of the "Gray Bell" docking plan. It was getting closer and closer to the dock without any slowdown or docking action.
The noble woman standing on the deck was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the burly man standing not far from him.
The man instantly understood the noble young woman's thoughts and stepped into the cockpit.
After a while, there was a noise, the ship swayed violently, moved towards the shore, and finally stopped at the pier.
The burly man walked out of the cockpit, followed by a sailor with black eyes. He was swearing a little, but under the gaze of the burly man, he reluctantly lowered the gangplank to form a connection between the deck and the shore.
The aristocratic mother and daughter and the burly man stepped off the gangplank from the "Gray Bell" and onto the ground of the pier.
Devil Alex watched the three people leave, looked at Li He, and said with some admiration: "Master, you are really right."
"Yeah." Li He responded without saying much. To him, although the aristocratic mother and daughter obviously had some secrets and some troubles, the secrets and troubles were not big enough to affect his plan.
extent.
Therefore, the attitude adopted is that it doesn't matter.
For him, there are currently two important short-term plans: one is to successfully reach Lensa, and the other is to find a suitable neutralizing blood and advance the development progress of optimizing the forbidden blood.
However, it is really hard to find neutralizing blood... If there is no result, we can only change the research and development method... Li He thought.
Maybe the "Book of Destiny" can provide new inspiration... Li He thought, turned and walked towards the cabin, preparing to enter the Blackstone Castle to read the "Book of Destiny", when an exclamation sounded from behind.
"Look!"
"What's that going to do?!"
"It's so scary..."
The chaotic shouts continued, Li He frowned slightly and turned around, looking in the direction where everyone was watching.
I saw a burly man escorting the noble mother and daughter just boarded the pier. Among the people waiting to take the boat, a man stood up.
The opponent had a scar on his face and was quite vicious. He opened a slender wooden box that he carried with him, took out a long sword, and blocked the noble mother and daughter and the burly man in front of them with narrowed eyes.
"Mrs. Isa, Miss Fleur..." The scarred man looked at the noble mother and daughter and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I want to go back to Lensa." The noble young woman looked at the scarred man and scolded her rudely, "Who are you? Since you know me, you dare to stop me?"
"No, no, no, how dare I stop you? I just want to tell you that your territory is in Holland County. If you want to go back, you have to go back to Holland County." The scarred man chuckled.
"My father and mother are both in Lunza. Is it okay if I go to visit them? Do I still need your permission?" The noble young woman did not answer angrily.
"Hehe." The scarred man sneered, "How dare I? Why do you need my permission? It's just... there are a few adults who cannot be named who don't allow it."
"I will definitely go back to Lenca."
"Then, I'm sorry." The scarred man moved his fingers holding the sword, showing a dangerous look. As he spoke, there was a bloody aura all over his body, which is the evil aura that only appears in people who have killed many people.
Turning his head slightly, the scarred man looked at the burly man, who was now looking at him with a wary and nervous expression.
"Hey, big guy, get out of here. You may be tall, but it's just as easy for me to kill you. A few adults asked me to come here with my poisonous fangs. The only targets are Mrs. Isa and Miss Fleur. I don't want to put in any extra effort on the rest."
"Are you a fang?" After hearing this, the burly man showed a surprised expression, and his face became even more nervous.
"Why, have you heard my name? That's better. Go away and don't force me to do it."
The burly man hesitated for a moment, then made a decision at the next moment. He nodded lightly and turned away without even looking at the noble mother and daughter.
Venomous Fang smiled contemptuously when he saw it, but said nothing. He continued to approach the panicked noble mother and daughter, and then raised his sword.
"Madam, miss, farewell." As he spoke, the long sword struck down hard.
But the next moment there was a muffled sound of "bang", and the long sword slashed by the fangs stopped abruptly.
Venomous Fang stiffened and his expression suddenly changed.
He only felt that his head was hit hard, shaking, dizzy and turned around with difficulty, and saw the burly man who had just left coming back, standing coldly behind him, still holding a piece of unknown origin in his hand.
A short, thick wooden stick that I picked up somewhere.
"you……"
"Bang!" The burly man said nothing nonsense and hit Venom Fang hard on the head again. Vengeance Fang fell straight down, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
Then, the burly man picked up the sword without any hesitation and inserted it straight into Venom Fang's body.
"puff!"
Blood spattered, the fangs twitched, but there was no more movement.
"Poison Fang? I've never heard of it, but now you can be called Death Fang..." the burly man snorted, and then left with the noble mother and daughter.
He knew that his whereabouts had been exposed and he needed to move quickly.
But after taking a few steps, he stopped.
Suddenly, as if they had been waiting for a long time, more than thirty soldiers appeared outside the pier. They lined up and advanced slowly with spears in hand, surrounding the noble mother and daughter as well as the burly man.
"This is the territory of Earl Dogger. You are Earl Dogger's soldiers, right... Why, you want to openly arrest another nobleman and her daughter?" Isha, a young noblewoman, looked at it and asked with a frown.
"No, Mrs. Isa." A soldier captain stood up and replied in a solemn voice, "We just want to capture your men. Your men just killed a citizen of Earl Dog, so
We are qualified to arrest him."
The face of the aristocratic young lady Isa instantly turned frosty, and the burly man's eyes also darkened. He now understood that it was a trap just now, a trap aimed at him.
And as long as he is captured, the noble mother and daughter will have no ability to resist.
That……
The burly man looked at the noble young woman for instructions.
The noble young woman nodded slightly and responded.
The burly man understood clearly, fixed his gaze, took a deep breath, his chest continued to rise and fall, and the muscles on his body began to tremble.
The surrounding soldiers were getting closer and closer, and someone was stabbing the burly man with a spear, preparing to capture the burly man.
But at the moment when he was about to be stabbed, the burly man roared loudly and roared like a beast.
"roar--"
The burly man's originally bulging muscles swelled again, and his whole body suddenly swelled to a height of two meters, like a small giant. The blood vessels were exposed like earthworms, clinging to the skin, trembling with the beating of the heart. There was a faint crimson light.
, seeping out from the blood vessels, covering the burly man's body.
At this moment, the burly man was like a god descending to earth.
Holding the long sword captured from Venomous Fang, he roared and rushed towards the numerous surrounding soldiers like a tank. Soon a bloody storm was set off, and screams resounded throughout the dock.
On the deck of the "Gray Bell" docked in the dock, Li He, who was not paying attention at first, suddenly lit up.
The opponent's sudden burst of physical strength... looks pretty good... then...
