Chapter 22 The Black Hand Appears

Zhang Tie ran like the wind among the gray hills alone, his movements were quick and nimble, and he was almost tireless. After eating nine Devil Rat Qili Fruits, Zhang Tie found that his explosive power and endurance were extremely high Correspondingly, he can now almost run at a "cruising speed" of 30 kilometers per hour for a day and still maintain a strong combat effectiveness.

At this speed, Zhang Tie has already run more than 60 kilometers in the rolling hills just two hours after leaving Creel.

And in the sky, the giant black eagle has already flown out of sight. The height that the giant eagle can reach is very high, just like an eye placed in the sky by Krell, what Krell said the giant eagle can see , he can perceive it through his own mental power, which makes Zhang Tie very envious.

Also because of the giant eagle, Zhang Tie and Krell's efficiency in Gray Hills has been greatly improved. The two agreed on some secret signals that could communicate with each other, and they were all transmitted through the giant eagle. Many times, Zhang Tie knew what Krell wanted to tell him as long as he looked up and saw the repeated flight trajectory of the giant eagle in the sky.

The wind blowing over the gray hills brought some strange sounds not far away, which caused Zhang Tie to change his direction slightly. After running less than two kilometers, Zhang Tie met the first person he encountered today. A group of large groups of Tieyalu dogs.

At first glance, there are about sixty or seventy of those iron-toothed hyenas, and a small group of people are being besieged by those iron-toothed hyenas on a slope. There are more than a dozen iron-toothed hyenas lying scattered on the ground from far to near. Among the small group of people, several people have been injured, bloodstains are all over their bodies, and some people have been seriously injured, and they have to be carried on their backs, looking unconscious.

The cunning Tieyalu dog was circling around those people. When those people backed up, the Tieyalu dog would catch up. When those people rushed over, the Tieyalu dog would back off, and as soon as those people stopped When they got down, the iron-toothed hyenas surrounded him. In the middle, as long as any one of those people was negligent, several iron-toothed hyenas would rush up and give him a hard bite.

In the wild, few people can beat the tireless wheel warfare of a large group of iron-toothed dogs.

Zhang Tie didn't know how long these people had been chased by these iron-toothed hyenas. Anyway, when he saw these people, they were all exhausted, and many people with weapons were struggling a little when they swung their weapons. .

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Tie naturally rushed over with the two short spears in his hand as if seeing a big meal.

As soon as Zhang Tie appeared, the outermost few of the group of iron-toothed hyenas rushed towards him.

The short spear in Zhang Tie's hand has only one action to stab!

The two short spears cast a string of spear shadows on Zhang Tie's hands, and every time the sharp spear points stabbed out with Zhang Tie, there would be a scream in the air, and seven or eight iron spears rushed up. The toothed hyenas were all lying on the ground within two minutes. Each iron toothed dog had a blood hole in its body, and the blood hole went straight to the heart. They were all killed with one blow, simply and neatly.

Seeing such a situation, knowing that a savior and a master were coming, the group of people surrounded by iron-toothed hyenas finally cheered up.

"Brothers, hold on, someone is coming to save us!" A man who looked like the leader of the group raised his arms and shouted loudly, and while shouting, he stabbed a long sword in his hand into the body of an iron-toothed hyena .

Zhang Tie's speed was so fast, in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the group of people who were besieged, but he didn't rush into the circle of the group of people for the time being, but surrounded those iron-toothed hyenas and killed them fiercely.

Iron-toothed hyenas surround the men,

And Zhang Tie surrounded the iron-toothed hyena.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen iron-toothed dogs were pierced through the heart by Zhang Tie's short spear and fell to the ground.

The iron-toothed dogs are also intelligent creatures. Seeing that Zhang Tie's strength surpassed theirs by too much and could not resist, those iron-toothed hyenas immediately scattered and fled. Zhang Tie chased a few steps away and killed several iron-toothed hyenas. Only then did he close his hands and walked towards those people.

In just a short while, another half of the iron-toothed hyena Qili fruit was credited, and Zhang Tie was in a good mood. In fact, Zhang Tie had restrained a little just now, because the benefits of the devil mouse king Qili fruit were in front of him. When there were only three iron-tooth hyena seven-li fruit quotas left, Zhang Tie also wanted to see if he was lucky enough to get another iron-tooth hyena king seven-li fruit. If so, such a seven-li fruit It may be more beneficial to him than several ordinary iron-toothed hyena seven-power fruits.

This was also one of the reasons why he was with Krell. If he was on his own, it would depend entirely on luck and chances, but if he was with a wilderness guardian, the possibility would be much greater.

The guardian of the wilderness wants to find the man behind the scenes that drives the beast tide, and since the man behind the scenes can control so many iron-toothed hyenas, judging from Zhang Tie's knowledge of beast masters in "The Great Wilderness", this group of If there is really a king among the iron-toothed dogs, there is a great possibility that the king of the iron-toothed hyena will be with the beast master.

After discovering that acting together with Krell could solve many of his problems, Zhang Tie also had a utilitarian experience. Of course, although he also has a utilitarian mind, what Krell said to him still played some role. For those behind-the-scenes masterminds who are making trouble everywhere when the jihad is approaching, no matter what angle they are in, Zhang Tie Du is a bit disgusted, not to mention that those black hands may also be related to the demons.

So strictly speaking, when Zhang Tie and Krell acted together, 70% of the actions were for private purposes, and 30% were for the public. Zhang Tie didn't feel how great he was either. Anyway, with his identity and his jealous relationship with Teresa, if he was completely pretending to be a devout follower of the Guardian God sect, that wouldn't be the case. Only half.

Zhang Tie's short spear carried the plasma spattered by the iron-toothed hyena's heart, and walked towards the group of people who had just been besieged. In awe, and a little nervous.

There were a total of twelve or thirteen people in that group. With Zhang Tie's strength displayed at this time, it would not take any effort to kill them all, and this place was in the wilderness, so those people couldn't help but be a little careless.

"Howy!" Before Zhang Tie could approach, one of the people in the group looked at Zhang Tie and suddenly yelled.

This unfamiliar name made Zhang Tie slightly stunned, and then he looked at those people carefully. Among those tired, dusty and blood-stained faces, there were indeed a few familiar looking guys, and it was a coincidence that they met here. Those low-level mercenaries of the Adeles Merchant Group.

When the people in the Adeles business group heard this call, some of them were stunned for a moment, but they didn't react, but those who did react changed their expressions drastically. They looked at Zhang Tie, not that kind of surprise and surprise. , not shock, but fear. The nerves of all the people with weapons who were a little relaxed suddenly became tense, and each of them took a defensive posture, just like they were defending against those iron-toothed dogs just now.

Looking at the performance of these people, Zhang Tie immediately understood that the identity of his wanted criminal was probably exposed shortly after he left the Adeles Merchant Group. Either it was Dawson or the barber in Eskil City. But it doesn't matter.

In order not to make those people too nervous, Zhang Tie stopped ten steps away from them, stuck the short spear in his hand on the ground and pestered it with his hands, and did not approach any further.

"I think we should call you Peter Hampres!" Just when everyone in the Adeles business group was panicking, a man in his sixties with scars bitten by an iron tooth dog on his leg A man dressed like those mercenaries limped out from behind the group of people. This man untied the burden he was carrying, held it in both hands, and gestured to hand it to Zhang Tie, "Thank you just now!" You saved our lives. This is a sympathy from the Adeles Merchant Group. There are many gold coins in it, as well as some precious herbs from the gray hills, worth about four gold coins! The Adeles Merchant Group has always Those who have vengeance and vengeance are those who repay kindness, we will repay those who have kindness to our business group, and we will not let go of those who have vendetta against us!"

Zhang Tie laughed, this old man is a bit interesting, he judges the situation at all times, speaks neither humble nor overbearing, he seems to have some status in the Adeles Merchant Group, "What is your name, what position do you hold in the Adeles Merchant Group? "

"My name is Marni, and I'm the director of the Adeles Merchant Group's medicinal material purchase point in Gray Hills!"

"When I was in Eskil City, I did kill a person. That person was a running dog of Magic Snake Island. I had an enmity with the people of Magic Snake Island. I was followed by that person as soon as I got off the boat. That person wanted to It was not good for me, and I ended up killing it. Thanks to your business group, I got out of Eskil City and saved me a lot of trouble. Let’s settle this matter today!” Zhang Tie said with a smile , "Put away what's in your hands, I'm not a noble person, but I'm not a robber either!

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, although I don't know whether what Zhang Tie said is true or not, those people's nerves are obviously relaxed. Whether the Adeles Merchant Group can help them take revenge is a matter for the future, but right now, If Zhang Tie wants to harm them, none of them will live to see the sun tomorrow. In the eyes of those people, the strength Zhang Tie has just shown is almost at the level of eighth or ninth level. A bunch of exhausted low-level fighters from level two to level five, everyone was wounded, it was a massacre.

Marny obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and he put the burden on his back again, "We can't do anything about you being wanted, but we will definitely pass on what you said today when we return to Eskil City. To the police station in Eskil City!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Tie shrugged, as long as he left Eskil City, he would not care about being wanted, "By the way, why are you here! Adeles Merchant Group They probably wouldn’t send their supervisor at the Gray Hills Herbal Material Purchase Point to come out to collect herbs himself!”

"We escaped from the stronghold by Lake Huiltau!" Marney said with a sigh.

"Escaped from the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold by Lake Huiertao?" Zhang Tie blinked in surprise, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Chao tide, powerful beast tide! "Speaking of escaping from the stronghold by Lake Huiertao, Marney's face turned pale again, and the expressions on the faces of the others also showed some panic, "When we escaped, there were more than forty people in total. , now that's all that's left? "

"Could it be that the Tieyalu dog can break through your stronghold?" Zhang Tie asked strangely.

Malny let out a long sigh...

In the next few minutes, Zhang Tie quickly figured out what happened from Marni.

Huiertao Lake is a lake in the depths of Gray Hills. In order to collect precious medicinal materials and other specialties from Gray Hills, several chambers of commerce and business groups in Eskil City established Maple Leaf Fort stronghold there, as everyone’s Material storage warehouse and personnel transfer supply station.

Even in the previous beast hordes, nothing happened to the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold, but this time, the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold was inexplicably breached by the beast horde.

Marni and the people from the Adeles Merchant Group didn't know what was going on, but when everyone was sleeping a few hours before dawn today, iron-toothed hyenas all over the mountains and plains appeared in the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold, everyone They were all awakened by the screams of those people in the stronghold, and everyone who was caught off guard immediately fell into a fight between man and beast.

Because there were too many Tie Yalu dogs and the entire Maple Leaf Fort stronghold fell for no reason, everyone chose to break through. What Zhang Tie saw now was the result of their breakout. Tie Yalu dogs did not let them go but followed them all the way. After chasing and killing them, more than half of the more than forty people along the way had died. If Zhang Tie hadn't appeared in time, the remaining few would have filled the belly of the iron-toothed hyena in a short time.

"Isn't there not a few high-level soldiers stationed in the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold? As long as there are a few high-level soldiers stationed, even a wooden camp would be impossible for those iron-toothed hyenas to attack?" Zhang Tie asked.

"In order to deal with the beast tide in Gray Hills, Eskill City has dispatched a small group of Bear Warriors to the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold to take care of the iron-toothed dogs wandering in Gray Hills. Soldiers above the upper level are stationed in the stronghold, but for some reason, when the beast tide occurs, these people either disappear, even those who can still pick up weapons and fight, all of them are a little panicked, and their performance is not up to standard. Overwhelmed by those iron-toothed hyenas!"

After hearing this, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes, "Where is the stronghold of Maple Leaf Castle?"

"Just a few kilometers away, there is a lake, which is easy to identify!" Marni said, pointing to a direction to the northwest.

"You'd better leave here as soon as possible and go east from here. There are not many iron-toothed hyenas along the way. I have already cleaned them up once. Whether you can return to Eskil City alive depends on your luck!" After saying this, Zhang Tie pulled out the short spear stuck in the ground and ran towards the direction Marni pointed, and he was already a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Zhang Tie disappearing here quickly, the rest of the Adeles Merchant Group took a look, not daring to delay, and fled towards the east one by one.

After running for tens of minutes, several thick smoke rising into the sky in the distance had already pointed out the direction for Zhang Tie, and the figure of a giant black eagle had already appeared in the sky, looking from a distance, it looked like a little black dots...

Zhang Tie also saw Krell in the distance. At this moment, Krell was like a cheetah transformed into lightning, jumping above the treetops at an astonishing speed. Needless to say, Zhang Tie followed suit. rushed over.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Tie and Krell arrived at the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold almost at the same time.

The Maple Leaf Fort stronghold is a camp surrounded by wooden fences as high as two people. The houses inside are almost all wooden. , the carcasses of iron-toothed hyenas several times more than human carcasses are the few wooden houses burning in the fire.

The entire Maple Leaf Castle was almost in a mess, and there was no living person. Countless iron-toothed hyenas were wandering around inside and outside the Maple Leaf Castle stronghold, tearing and eating the corpses of the dead. When seeing Zhang Tie and Krell, many Tieyalu dogs with red eyes slowly gathered over.

"In the name of the mother of the earth, all the wild beasts that wander in the wilderness, retreat!" Krell shouted, his hair was windless, short and strange, less than 30 centimeters long The short cane that looked like a dry branch slipped from his sleeve to his hand, and after that shout, he stuck the short cane in his hand to the ground at once, and the people who were still red-eyed just now were about to come over The large group of Tieyalu dogs, like frightened rabbits, ran away with their tails between their legs after a howl. The iron-toothed hyenas in the Maple Leaf Fort stronghold were also dispersed at once.

Krell's ability opened Zhang Tie's eyes. The effect of Krell's trick is very similar to the secret method of "Xi Zi Bu" in "The Great Wilderness". , at least it is possible to practice the "Great Wilderness" to the second level. Zhang Tie does not have this level yet, so there is no way to compare the pros and cons of the two secret methods. However, from the perspective of time, if you use the "Great Wilderness For the secret method, Zhang Tie thinks it will take a little less time, but the second-level secret method of "Xi Zi Bu" will not have such a wide range of effects as Krell's move.

Looking at the iron-toothed skull dogs everywhere, Zhang Tie secretly held back the idea of ​​rushing up and killing them.

The two walked into the Maple Leaf Castle stronghold.

After walking into the stronghold for a few steps, Zhang Tie saw a damaged fence on the outer wall of the stronghold. He walked over, took a closer look, and immediately came to the conclusion that the fence on the outer wall of the stronghold was brute-forced from the outside. Broken.

Krell also saw it, and his eyes suddenly became severe, "I can smell the smell of the beast master when he casts spells here!"
