Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 127: Knife is advancing day by day (Merry Christmas)

Views:

Anna can be sure that this man came after Allen, which is the continuation of the last black street assassination. In the several battle scenes she found, whether it was the traces left by the flames or the knife marks distributed on the tree trunks and rocks, they all pointed out that it was Alan who fought this killer.

After Allen was attacked on Black Street last time, through investigation, Anna and housekeeper Hexin discovered the financial revenue and expenditure problems of one of the family's surface companies. And taking this as a breakthrough to conduct an in-depth investigation, the ultimate beneficiary of that transaction has gradually surfaced. All the clues point to the inside of the family, among which Heydrick's account has multiple records of funds in and out.

Although the expenditure and income purposes of each fund are clear, legal and reasonable. But Anna had an intuition that the attack on Allen might have something to do with Hedrick. Even if he didn't do it himself, it still has something to do with him. The matter was so important that Anna didn't dare to act without authorization, so she had to report the situation to Horn. Horn's final decision is to continue to observe and obtain substantial evidence as soon as possible.

If there is no real evidence, just based on those general clues, Horn is not even qualified to hold Hedrick accountable. Of course, he can use his father's status to make side-effects. Anna knew that this was the last thing Horn wanted to see. Even with the evidence, Horn would be quite difficult to deal with. After all, Hedrick is his son, and Allen is just a grandson.

If Horn can't handle it well, the family will be in danger of splitting up, which is definitely not what any patriarch would like to see. If it weren't for Horn's love for the house and his black, and the opponent wanted to take Alan's life, this would have crossed Horn's bottom line. Otherwise, even if it turns out to be Heydrick's problem in the end, it will only make a big deal into a small matter, and a small matter into nothing.

Anna sighed softly, remembering that when Horn was on an expedition to Outland, the patriarch of Bethkind acted resolutely, and he would not hesitate in advance or retreat. Now we have to be cautious when dealing with the family's internal affairs, which shows how much effort Horn has spent in managing the family these years.

As Horn's secret warrior and best friend, Anna understood her master's feelings very well. If it is said that Alan was absorbed into the family at that time, and he wanted to cultivate this grandson, it was more or less out of compensation for his daughter Lanny. So now, Allen's talents in academics, source of talent, and Rubik's Cube sequence have made Horn look different.

Not to mention that Alan is now expected to become a direct student of Windsor Bellow, all of which point to Alan's amazing talent. Horn now truly regards Allen as the heir of the family to cultivate, and what Allen lacks is just a legitimate identity. The other party wants to destroy Allen, which is tantamount to destroying the hope of the family's future, private and public, these are things that Horn cannot tolerate.

That's why he was so angry, and the clue pointed to his fourth son, which still made Anna track him down, and it was clear that he would not stop there.

Looking at the moment, it doesn't matter whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Hedrick or someone else. At least, their plan this time went bankrupt again. The killer is dead, Allen is alive. Anna took a picture of the face of the bloody hand and sent it back to somewhere in Babylon with an encrypted email. She has her own source of information, and she can confirm her identity through the appearance of the bloody hand, and then follow this clue.

After sending the email, Anna turned around and found the piece of ground that Allen had set on fire to stop Diego and the others from chasing, and then followed the traces left by Allen. The autumn hunt is not over yet, and Anna has to ensure his safety. You must know that the young master of the Grant family doesn't like Alan either. Anna doesn't want Bethkind and the Grant family to form an irresolvable hatred.

After tracking for more than an hour, Anna broke the clue, and she shook her head helplessly. My young master Sun is smarter than I imagined, just being able to cover up my whereabouts under my own nose, is no longer comparable to the children of ordinary families. Even Anna couldn't find Alan's trace, and it was even more difficult to switch to someone else. For the time being, it is certain that Allen is safe.

Anna can only find other ways to find Allen.

When the Whispering Forest was bathed in morning light, Allen opened his eyes. He was in a tree hole, next to his material backpack, and tools such as hemostatic tape and scissors were scattered on the ground. After getting rid of Diego and others last night, he went back to the place where he hid his backpack. Thinking that something must have been left behind before he came here, he let the bloody hand find the place where he hid his backpack, and prepared a trap for him to step in by himself.

Fortunately, Allen found something was wrong, otherwise he would only find the bloody hand if he entered the tree hole. In such a narrow space, he must not be able to avoid the attack of the bloody hand. At that time, even if he was not killed on the spot, he would be chased and killed by the bloody hand because of serious injuries.

Now it's a different situation.

Thinking of the bloody hand being intercepted by Diego's masters, Allen couldn't help laughing. It can be imagined that even if the bloody hand can't die this time, he won't find him in a short time. With Diego's temperament, it would be strange if he didn't get some interest from Bloody Hand.

Allen returned to this tree hole in the early hours of the morning. Fortunately, the supply backpack was not thrown away by the bloody hand. In addition to food, there are some emergency medicines in the backpack. For example, the deep bony wound on Allen's hand, if it is not sewn up with a needle and thread, it will inevitably be infected. If not handled properly, it is more likely to affect future development.

He used sterilized needles and threads to suture the long wound, sprayed on hemostatic spray, and fixed it with a bandage. Basically, there was nothing serious about it. But he was not in a hurry to leave. The experience of fighting against the bloody hand was a very valuable experience. This was the first time he encountered an opponent with overwhelming strength. In just one day and two nights, Alan kept hovering on the edge of life and death, which caused him great stimulation.

What he has to do now is to digest these experiences. Allen continued to hide in the tree hole like this, while performing source power training, while recalling every scene of fighting against the bloody hand. So it wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that he got out of the tree hole. There are two worlds inside and outside the cave. Seeing the sun shining outside and the cold wind blowing from the direction of Xuanyun Snow Mountain refreshed him even more.

After a long rest, Yuanli's physical fitness has fully recovered and improved. Especially the experience of fighting the bloody hand has become part of his life experience, which made Allen even more motivated to fight. Allen stuck the straight knife under his feet and drew it with his left hand. Close your eyes, use the bloody hand as your imaginary enemy, recall the scene of his attack, and Alan uses his left hand to carry the knife to make a corresponding counterattack.

At the beginning, it was difficult to sway the straight knife. But gradually, Allen's sword gradually unfolded. The straight knife made a breathtaking howling sound, and danced out slices of light in the sun. In the end, Allen stopped thinking about the bloody hand and just concentrated on handling the knife. The straight knife is like an extension of his arm, swaying freely. The source force was stirring in his body, and Alan's body was full of saber energy, causing the grass leaves to fly up and down.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he shook his wrist. The straight knife draws a perfect arc in the air, which is a standard crescent cut. The shadows reflected the afternoon sun, leaving a clear moon in the air. Suddenly the moon wheel vibrated and shattered, turning into hundreds of fine pieces of light and blasting away, twisting many fallen leaves and dead branches in front of them into tiny pieces.

With a whistling sound, he raised the knife and dropped it, another group of fine pieces of light exploded in his arms, just like the fireworks in full bloom under the midsummer night!

With a clang, the straight knife was sheathed. Allen happily flipped back on the spot, haha and fell to the ground. He finally perfectly integrated the shock ability into his blade skills, unlike when he was attacked in the black street. It just bluntly superimposed the shock on the Yanyue Slash, thus forming a burst of flames to push away the opponent. Now it is digesting the experience of fighting the bloody hand, and the perception of sword skills and abilities has been raised to a higher level, so the crescent moon has transformed into a broken moon, and when the superimposed abilities are burned, it will be another scene.

The combat system is being perfected bit by bit.

Allen lay on the grass, looking at the blue sky. Whether it is the real world or the world of skill power, the two worlds inside and outside are almost endless. As for the exploration of the world, every achievement is moving. Allen doesn't know where his end point will be, and he doesn't mind if he doesn't think about it, because the process of exploring the world itself is an extremely moving experience.

Everyone's experience is different, so everyone's life is an epic in itself!

Is there anything more exciting than writing your own epic

Allen lay down for 5 minutes before turning over and sitting up. Then he packed up his things, headed eastward, and headed towards the depths of the Whispering Forest at full speed. Two days later, Allen had come to the depths of the hunting area, which was less than a hundred kilometers away from Xuanyun Snow Mountain. When we got here, the trees gradually thinned out, and the distance between the trees was much larger than in the southern part of the forest. And the ground no longer sees fallen leaves, but is covered with a thin layer of snowflakes.

The temperature here is about five or six degrees lower than that in the south, and at night, the temperature difference is even greater. It was already evening when Allen arrived in this area, and the sun set on the west side of the forest, leaving behind a large area of sunlight that dyed the clouds red. After a while, it was dark. Allen chose a leeward place, cleaned the snow on the ground, and set up dead branches to light a fire to keep warm.

In the depths of the hunting area E, according to Leon's introduction, this area is the territory of the ice and snow tyrant bear. The tyrant bear is already a dangerous species of the sixth level, and has a high affinity with the source of ice and snow. When it comes to winter, it is the season when the tyrant bear is at its most powerful. As for autumn, because of the need to store fat for the winter, it is the time when tyrant bears are most aggressive.

What's more, the word tyrant is in the name of this dangerous species, which shows that its temperament has absolutely nothing to do with gentleness. Tyrant bears live at the junction of Whispering Forest and Xuanyun Snow Mountain. Even with the vast area here, there are only about a thousand Tyrant bears living there. Often a tyrant bear's territory is measured in kilometers, so whether Allen can bump into one depends on luck.

After driving for two days, I didn't see the bloody hand catching up again. I think the killer should be more or less ominous. Allen was even more relieved, he had made up his mind. Get a good rest tonight and try your luck around the area early tomorrow morning. If he hadn't hunted a tyrant bear by tomorrow evening, he'd have to turn back. Otherwise, they will not be able to board the spaceship, and it will take a lot of trouble to return to Babylon.

I didn't know it was Christmas until I took my baby to kindergarten in the morning. See how I am living in a daze. No way, Renchou didn't receive the gift %>_

The year 2014 is coming to an end, and in a few days it will be 2015. New year, new challenges, I wish you and yourself all the best in the coming year!
