Chapter 301 Suspicious Signs

"Sister Meow, what's new?" Joan followed up and asked.

"There are two sets of footprints here, one of which belongs to Prince Razor, went to the northwest, and another set of boot prints that seem to be left by humans..."

Xiao Miao squatted on the muddy ground to observe carefully, and then made a guess.

"Two men, about the same weight, ran towards the northeast. Judging from the messy footprints, they were obviously escaping from Prince Razor..."

"The question now is, which direction do we go next: continue to track the Razor Prince, or follow the footsteps left by those two fugitives?"

Xiao Miao's question made everyone hesitate.

Major Vasa suggested to rescue the fugitives first. After all, human life is at stake, and saving people is the most important thing.

Azhi pointed out that the northeast is just the way to the lair of "Brother Jack". The fugitive was lucky to get rid of Prince Razor, but unfortunately ran into the hands of Brother Jack. At this moment, even his body may be cold.

Instead of taking a detour to track down these two unlucky guys, it's better to hunt Prince Razor first, help Major Vassar get the test of reinstatement, and it won't be too late to deal with Brother Jack later.

Just when everyone was arguing, there was a sudden rustling in the bushes, and there seemed to be crying, which seemed extremely terrifying in this barren mountain and wild forest.

"Shh-"

Xiao Miao raised her index finger to cover her lips, signaling to everyone to keep quiet and prepare weapons in case of accidents.

The forest immediately became quiet, and ten pairs of eyes were fixed on the place where the abnormal movement came from.

A black shadow ran in the forest, quickly approaching from far, staggering towards it.

Joan stared at the man several times, and the more familiar he looked, he tentatively called out, "Mr. Martin Smith, is that you?"

Hearing his shout, the man screamed strangely in fright, turned his head and ran away.

In a panic, his ankle was caught by the vines, and he fell to the ground with a thud, as if the fall was not light.

"Mr. Smith? Are you okay?" Joan walked over, trying to appease the frightened senior.

Martin Smith was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, his buttocks sticking out like an ostrich, trembling all over, so scared that he couldn't even speak.

"what happened to him?"

Thomas approached Martin, frowning, covering his nose to keep from inhaling the smell of piss.

"Is this guy crazy? How old is he, and he still wets his pants!"

"Don't say such nonsense, Senior Martin seems to be seriously frightened, and he is a little out of order." Joan guessed.

"Okay, what can we do to bring him back to his senses?" Thomas rubbed his chin and muttered, "I haven't learned how to appease a person who is scared to pee his pants...Joan, you've heard of this effect spell?"

"Let me try." Rebecca squeezed between Joan and Thomas, looked at Martin who was still trembling, and said firmly, "It's just too frightened, it's nothing serious."

Miss Priest rolled up her sleeves, revealing the mithril bracelet on her slender wrist, and softly recited the activation spell.

The bracelet glows with soft brilliance, releasing the sacred magic power of "stable mind", bringing a warm current that penetrates the soul to the people around, and all the negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, panic and apprehension in the heart are instantly eliminated.

At the same time, Martin Smith, who was lying on the ground with his head in his hands, also calmed down under the comfort of the brilliance of the divine magic, and gradually regained his senses. Under the questioning of everyone, he intermittently told his own experience.

Hearing from Martin that Edward Gates, the son of the Garrison Commander of Port Leiden, was still trapped in the wooden cabin, his life was hanging by a thread. Everyone immediately agreed and decided to give up tracking Prince Razor for the time being and go to the wooden cabin to save people.

Within a few minutes of running in the direction indicated by Martin, Joan saw a wooden house, located deep in the jungle covered by branches and leaves.

Xiao Miao raised her hand to stop her companion, and said in a low voice, "We can't just rush over in such a rash manner. If Brother Jack is alarmed, they may take Edward Gates as a hostage. Why don't I sneak over to investigate the situation first? Step lightly and surround the cabin from the surroundings to prevent Brother Jack from escaping."

Xiao Miao's suggestion was approved by most of the companions, only Qiao An thought that he was more suitable to investigate than her.

Although his skills are far inferior to Catwoman's agility, he has an advantage that Xiaomei can't match-invisibility!

Seeing that Qiao An disappeared out of thin air after casting a spell, Xiao Miao had to admit that he was more suitable for investigation than himself, and simply entrusted him with this task.

After using magic to hide his figure, Joan quickly walked towards the wooden house in the forest.

Approaching the hut quickly, he stepped lightly and observed carefully.

It was soon discovered that the door of the house was closed tightly, but one window was half open, and the curtains could be vaguely seen fluttering in the wind.

Joan approached the window cautiously, looked into the room through the gap in the curtains, and vaguely saw two vague figures, and the sound of tearing fabric came from the window.

In order to observe the situation inside the house more clearly, he turned around quietly, pressed down on the back of his jacket, revealing the strange eye on the back of the neck, and used this eye that can see in the dark to peek into the dim wooden house again.

Through the "strange eye", Joan could clearly see Edward sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, seemingly in a coma, his upper body clothes had been stripped off, and his shirtless body was stained with blood, obviously seriously injured.

In addition to the comatose Edward, there is also a dark-skinned dwarf in the room, whose appearance is similar to that of the "spring-legged" little Jack described on the wanted notice. He is looking through the coat that was taken off Edward's body, probably looking for some valuables. .

Little Jack threw his coat on the ground casually, picked up a bundle of ropes, bounced his feet into the air, and easily jumped onto the beam that was fifteen feet high from the ground.

The super jumping ability of this little monster left a deep impression on Joan, no wonder it was nicknamed "Spring Legs".

Little Jack wrapped the rope around the beam, jumped down again, dragged the rope to Edward, tied his wrists tightly, and then pulled the other end of the rope hard, and with the squeaking sound of the rope rubbing against the beam, he fell into a coma. Edward slowly dragged it up and hung it under the beam like a piece of bacon.

Little Jack fixed one end of the rope, picked up a gleaming dagger and walked towards Edward, with a cruel grin on his lips.

Seeing this scene, Joan couldn't help but recall the scene when the country butcher slaughtered pigs.

No need to ask, he could guess what Little Jack was going to do next, and immediately turned to face the window, waved and released the spell he had prepared.

"Vala!"

Two purple magic missiles screamed out of Joan's palm, one of which shot at Little Jack, and the other shot through the rope.

Edward, who lost the support of the rope, fell to the floor with a plop.

Without the slightest hesitation, Joan flicked the cloak to activate "Transformation and Shadow", and the magic power burst out all over his body, and he instantly exchanged places with Edward who was still unconscious in the wooden house.

At the same time that Edward was out of danger, Joan himself teleported into the house, and the distance between him and Little Jack was reduced to less than ten feet.
