Chapter 313 Graves Card Master
“Soul-eating Night!”
“Carnival Moment on Shadow Island!”
Huo Jixing forcibly suppressed the hesitation in his heart and uneasy, quickly turned around and returned to Bilgewater.
The clouds and mist quickly disappeared beside me, and the Blue Flame Islands came into view.
As soon as Huo Jixing returned to the tavern, he summoned Yosip.
When Yosip, dressed as a bartender, saw Huo Jixing, his expression was full of doubts.
"Have your people been sent out in the morning?" Huo Jixing said bluntly.
"I specially arranged it so that people can completely believe it." Yosip replied respectfully.
“Is there something wrong?”
"You go ask again."
Huo Jixing shook his head slightly and ordered Yosip.
"Okay!"
Josip's heart sank, thinking that something serious had gone wrong, he immediately changed into casual clothes and left the tavern in person.
In Huo Jixing's contemplation, time passed slowly.
Dusk hour.
When Yosip returned to the tavern again, there was a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.
He entered the room and said in a hurry after seeing Huo Jixing.
"Sir, something is wrong!"
Josip's voice was like the trembling leaves in the autumn wind, with unconcealable panic.
"What's the problem?"
Huo Jixing opened his eyes, and his gentle voice contained spiritual power that seemed to have materialized, soothing Yosip's uneasiness.
The person in charge of the Leiser Guard Secret Office seemed to be inexplicably frightened, and he no longer looked as calm as before.
“All the people I sent out have lost contact.” Yosip replied.
“I also specifically asked the workers near the dock and learned that all the ships that went out in the morning were also missing, and no news was returned.”
Huo Jixing frowned and thought to himself: Sure enough, there is something wrong with the black mist coming from Shadow Island.
“It’s the Soul Eating Night!”
Huo Jixing had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he finally told the current situation.
"Soul-eating Night!?"
Josip's expression suddenly changed, and exclamations rang out, spreading throughout the backyard of the tavern.
"How is this possible?"
He stammered and whispered, his voice full of disbelief.
“It’s not yet time for the Soul Eating Night to begin.”
Josip tried to convince himself, but fell silent as he spoke.
Because he could confirm from Huo Jixing's calm expression that the matter was true.
Soul Erosion Night has been brought forward!
As the person in charge of the Reese Guard Secretariat in Bilgewater, he understands the meaning of Soul Eating Night very well.
It was an endless nightmare, the release of the most terrifying power of Shadow Island.
And now, this nightmare came unexpectedly early, catching him off guard.
"Immediately send the order to recall all the soldiers guarding Leise." Huo Jixing made a final decision.
"Yes, Lord Huo Jixing."
Josip took a deep breath, bowed, walked away, and disappeared into the darkness behind the door.
In Bilgewater Bay, there are many Reiser garrison soldiers who hide their identities and are scattered in different places.
He must convey the order as soon as possible, so that all the Leiser garrison soldiers can quickly gather to prepare for the upcoming Soul Eating Night.
Josip walked quickly while recalling past experiences.
"On certain nights, a group of hungry souls will wander forward in the billowing black fog."
"The black fog carries them across the ocean to prey on creatures and strengthen the darkness with new dead souls. ”
Xiacheng District.
Under the silent night.
In the dark alley, there is a black figure running in panic.
The torn red cloak on his body fluttered in the night wind, like a blood-stained flag stained with blood.
Behind him was a group of Hook Gang men armed with various weapons.
The eyes of these guys flashed with fierce light, and their roars came one after another, like enraged beasts, vowing to tear the black figure in front of them into pieces.
“Damn it, are these Gangplank’s maned dogs crazy?”
While running, Graves opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression gloomy.
"Chasing from the White Harbor area of the Slaughterhouse to the Lower City, aren't they afraid of causing misunderstandings among other gangs?"
Before his thoughts fell, Graves frowned and his heart skipped a beat.
Buzz!
The sound of the bowstring being loosened pierced the night sky.
In the deep alley, a few rays of cold light penetrated the darkness like lightning, reaching behind Graves.
It seems that he smells fatal danger.
Graves' body reacted instantly, sliding forward and turning sideways quickly to avoid the crossbow arrows fired from behind.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of dull crashing sounds sounded, four iron crossbow arrows were deeply embedded in the wall, and the tail fins trembled gently in the night wind.
Graves stared at the iron crossbow in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.
He quickly took out his double-barreled shotgun and loaded the gunpowder roll with skill.
【The end of the road】!
When he passed the corner of the alley, Graves turned around suddenly and looked at the Hook Gang who were chasing him with a grin.
His left hand firmly pressed the gun body of Destiny, and his right hand moved the trigger without hesitation.
The next moment! A dull thunderous explosion sounded, shaking the alley.
The bright yellow flames ignited, like a surging wave, engulfing everyone chasing after them.
For a while, wails and screams sounded in the alley.
The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang fell to the ground one after another under the impact of the flames and pill tablets.
They struggled painfully, trying to escape the terrifying sea of fire.
But the ruthless flames ignited, surrounded them tightly, and harvested their lives.
Wait for the flame to die out.
More than a dozen mutilated corpses were left on the blue-grey ground, most of them showing signs of burning.
The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang looked at the piled corpses and hesitated.
But when they think of the person who gave the order, they can no longer care about the fear in their hearts.
These minions ignored the lingering smell of sulfur in the air and continued to rush towards Graves, stepping on the corpses of their companions.
Graves, who had just walked not far away, heard footsteps coming from behind again and cursed in a low voice.
He immediately raised the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, pointed it at the back and fired twice.
The dull roar was accompanied by the blooming of two blood flowers, which instantly drew a cruel arc in the night sky.
The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang fell again, but there were too many of them, and there were still people who continued to chase them.
Graves knew that this was not the way to go, he had to find a way to get rid of these pursuers.
So, he took out a gray-white bottle from his waist and threw it to the ground.
【Smoke Screen】!
After flicking the off-white bottle a few times, the mouth of the bottle shattered, and bursts of white smoke poured out, quickly filling the alley.
The smoke has a strong pungent smell, making it difficult to breathe and make it impossible to see the road ahead clearly.
Graves took the opportunity to rush out of the smoke, without stopping, and continued running, looking for a place to hide.
The Iron Hook gang behind them could not continue to pursue them, so they had no choice but to stop and try to disperse the white mist in front of them.
Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Graves ran out of the alley and along the main road in the outer city.
As soon as he ran not far away, he saw a familiar person appearing not far away from him.
"Hey, Cuizi, you look a little embarrassed."
Graves looked at the panting Drizzt in front of him, grinned and said with a smile.
"Much better than you."
After taking a few deep breaths, Drizzt looked at Graves, who was covered in blood, with a proud expression.
In comparison.
Drizzt was indeed much better. His luxurious clothes were still clean and tidy, except for a little blood on his sleeves.
Obviously he has also been hunted.
“Did you get rid of them?”
Drizzt felt the cool autumn air on the street and wrapped himself in his luxurious dress.
He led Graves forward quickly, cards flying in his hand.
The two of them seemed to be having bad luck.
They originally went to the slaughterhouse to inquire about information, but happened to encounter the patrolling gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang.
Later, I don’t know what happened, but these people from the Iron Hook Gang actually started to hunt them down, with a sense of relentlessness.
"The rumors are true, Gangplank is definitely back, otherwise these maned dogs would not hunt us down so hard."
A trace of worry appeared on Graves' rough face color.
They participated in the operation to depose Planck and witnessed the sinking of the Abyss.
“We must find a safe place to hide.”
Drizzt nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Hook Gang emerging from the alley on the left out of the corner of his eye. Hey guys.
【Universal Card】!
Drizzt immediately stopped flipping the cards and pulled out three cards of different colors.
He aimed at the chasing Iron Hook gangsters, flicked his wrist, and threw out the cards in his hand.
Buzz! Buzz!
The cards cut through the night sky, with red, blue and yellow light, reflecting the frightened faces.
The seemingly soft card turned into a death scythe at this moment, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Hook Gang minions.
Each card hits the target accurately, bringing up pieces of blood.
At the same time, Graves also raised his destiny, aimed at the Hook Gang minions in the distance, and fired two shots from a distance.
The sound of gunshots rang out, and two bullets hit the target, splashing two puffs of blood.
The two worked together in perfect harmony and quickly defeated this group of Iron Hook Gang minions.
Afterwards, Graves and Drizzt continued to run in the cold wind of the autumn night, looking for opportunities to escape.
Their figures shuttled through alleys and streets, leaving behind a string of rapid footsteps.
The chasing sounds of the Iron Hook Gang also sounded frequently not far away, disturbing nearby residential areas.
But the nearby residents hid in their rooms and did not dare to make any sound.
Blood and death add a cruel color to the silent night.
“Wait.!”
Dizzt looked down at the cards in his hand, his eyes solemn, and chose to open the card again.
He took back the cards in his hand, shuffled them, and drew three cards in sequence. After seeing the same result as before, he immediately looked around.
Within the field of vision, at the end of the street, there is a brightly lit tavern, waiting for the arrival of guests.
"What's the matter, Cuizi?"
Hearing the sound, Graves stopped and looked back at Drizzt, looking a little confused.
"We should have found a safe place."
Drizzt looked at the tavern in the distance, his tone a little uncertain.
But he believed in his own power and read the omens of fate in the shuffling and cutting of cards.
