hold head high-
If the blood beast made too much noise, Gray asked the blood beast to stay where he was for the time being and lurked over alone.
After walking carefully for a moment, Gray saw a ruined building through the gaps in the leaves.
Tall walls collapsed, houses collapsed, and roofs fell off the entire building. It was a ruin of buildings.
And among the ruins of the building, he saw a blood beast making a roaring sound.
This is a bloody beast covered in black hair, with a body length of three meters, thick joints, and a huge body.
The eyes are as huge as a baby's fist, and on both sides of the head, there is a curved horn, as sharp as two scimitars.
At this time, the blood beast was being besieged by four people. There were many wounds on its body, and bright red blood was dripping everywhere.
As expected, with the joint efforts of the four people, the blood beast would be killed soon.
"It's them!"
But when he saw the four people who had joined forces to surround and kill the blood beast, Gray couldn't help but widen his eyes with astonishment.
Because these four people were surprisingly the purple-haired girl Sophia who once traveled the same road with him.
"How did they... get here?"
"How do they know... this ruins?"
"Did they secretly... look through my things?"
Gray looked wary.
The first thing he thought was that the other party secretly looked through his things and saw the map of this ruins, so he appeared here.
"No, that's not right. I always carry the map of the ruins with me. It's impossible for them to steal it from me?"
However, soon, Gray shook his head again.
When going out, it is natural to be cautious.
Therefore, Gray kept the money and the map with him at all times, even when he was taking a shower, they never left his sight.
He didn't think that the other party had the ability to peek at the ruins map from under his nose without being discovered by him.
"Is it a coincidence? But it's too much of a coincidence. Is this really a coincidence?"
But if it was a coincidence, Gray didn't believe it.
When we were in Fergus City, we coincidentally came to Oka City with the same caravan, and now we coincidentally came to the same ruins. Can this really be explained by coincidence
Bang!
While Gray was thinking about this, the battle between the four people and the blood beast had already concluded.
The neck was stabbed, and after struggling for a moment, the huge body of the blood beast fell down.
It hit the ground of the ruins so hard that even the ground trembled slightly.
"I didn't expect this blood beast to be hiding in the ruins. If the lady hadn't discovered it, I'm afraid we would have been attacked by it?"
The woman in orange battle uniform said as she took out the rune bag to collect the blood.
"I don't know if anyone has visited this ruins before."
The woman in red battle uniform looked into the ruins.
The purple-haired girl Sophia was about to speak when suddenly she frowned, looked at the tree where Gray was hiding, and said.
"There's something hiding there."
Peng!
As soon as she finished speaking, Teresa, a man with a brown beard, already understood.
As soon as he stepped on the ground, his body was ejected like a cannonball. He suddenly appeared next to the tree and struck at the tree with an axe.
Apparently he planned to cut down the tree and Gray behind it.
Gray's shadow ability actually failed. Gray was surprised and immediately jumped out of the shadow.
He quickly drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed at the incoming axe.
clang!
The ax and sword clashed together, and then Gray suddenly felt a huge force coming from the sword, and then his whole body involuntarily retreated backwards.
I don’t know what kind of blood method the brown bearded man Theresa practiced, but his power was actually stronger than that of him who had the strength characteristic of the cold tiger.
"It's you?!"
Sophia and the other three also ran over quickly. When they saw that the person hiding was Gray, the woman in the red battle suit couldn't help but scream in surprise, and then she immediately looked evil.
"You're following us!"
"Boy, why are you here?"
Teresa, the brown bearded man who forced Gray back with an axe, also had a murderous look on his face.
"That's what I want to say."
Holding the magic sword in hand, Gray looked at the four of them calmly.
Although there were four people on the other side, he was not afraid at all. After all, the nine blood beasts were nearby and they could arrive in just a moment.
"For this ruins, I came all the way from Sidney to the Oka Territory. What's going on with you? Why are you here?"
"Do you want to say that this was just an accident? Do you think we will believe you when you say this?"
The woman in orange battle uniform snorted coldly.
Gray frowned slightly, thought for a while, took out the map of the ruins from his arms, and threw it to the woman in orange suit.
"This is a map of the ruins that I got from somewhere in a book."
The woman in the orange battle suit reached out and took it, opened it and looked at it carefully. The next moment, her face became surprised.
"It's really a map of this ruins..."
She didn't think the map was a forgery, because the writing and ink on the map were obviously left long ago.
"How could such a coincidence happen?"
Theresa, a man with a brown beard, was wary of Gray while looking sideways at the map, her face becoming surprised.
"Really!"
"Miss, look."
The woman in orange battle suit handed the map of the ruins to the purple-haired girl Sophia. The purple-haired girl Sophia reached out and took it. After reading it, she frowned slightly.
"You said you got this map from a book. Who wrote this book?"
"It seems to be a man named Joseph. I can't remember his full name."
Gray thought about it carefully and then recalled that it had been a long time since he obtained this map, and he could no longer remember the author's name.
"Miss, it seems to be a coincidence!"
The woman in the red battle suit was surprised when she heard Gray say his name.
"Please explain, where did you get the address of this ruins?"
With confidence in his heart, even when facing four people, Gray still showed no timidity and spoke.
"The information about the location of this ruins was obtained from a man named Sting Johnson in the Marquis of Sidney territory. According to the other party, this ruins was discovered by his grandfather Joseph Johnson. .”
The purple-haired girl Sophia said.
"Joseph Johnson?"
Hearing this name, Gray couldn't help but remember that the author of that book was indeed named Joseph Jonathan.
He only carried a map, but not the book. If the other party secretly checked his map while he was sleeping, the other party should not know his name.
"What a coincidence?"
But to say that this was a coincidence made him a little unbelievable. After all, it was such a coincidence.
"Although I am also surprised by this coincidence, since we have met, why not explore this ruins together? What do you think?"
Putting the guard down on her face, the purple-haired girl Sophia looked at Gray and said with a smile.
"good."
Gray also said with a smile on his lips.
He could hear an obvious tough tone from the purple-haired girl Sophia's tone.
Obviously, if he didn't agree, there would be an accident. In case the news leaked or Gray found helpers to rob and kill them on the way back, the other party might take some measures to force him to stay.
But he didn't care, rather it was just what he wanted. The ruins were right in front of him, so he couldn't just retreat.
As for the threats posed by these four people, he was certainly not afraid of the nine blood beasts.
If he were not worried about the forces behind these four people, and the blood beast could not use the blood beast's ability, and its combat power was not as good as that of the normal blood beast, and there was no absolute certainty that the four people would be left behind, he would not mind monopolizing this ruins.
"Haha, young master, welcome to cooperate again!"
Putting away the battle ax, Theresa, the brown bearded man, chuckled.
"Yeah, I didn't expect there would be a chance to work together again."
Gray also had a smile on his face.
The first time we cooperated, it was naturally to deal with ghosts, so now we are exploring the ruins together, which is considered the second time we cooperate.
But he felt vaguely weird in his heart. He always felt that this coincidence was too weird, as if it was arranged by human factors.
After all, they all received the same news and arrived at the ruins almost at the same time. The possibility of this happening is probably lower than buying a lottery ticket, right
