Hurricane Wizard had actually received a reward when he entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains and met the incarnation of the Totem King. Not only did he gain the totem power that could definitely be called powerful, but his body also became younger.
However, Hurricane had already gotten used to that old face, and he felt that it was more majestic. So he still kept his original appearance, although his body had gotten rid of decay and had unimaginable youthful vitality.
The hurricane was suspended in the air, gradually coming over the forest. Under the cold moonlight, I looked out at the rolling mountains and land in the darkness.
He came here at the order of the Totem King, and his heart was full of enthusiasm. But Hurricane also knew that the man that the Totem King asked him and the beasts to kill with all their strength was definitely not that simple! In fact, that man should be very dangerous. So dangerous that he needed two great wizards to join forces, so dangerous that the Totem King was worried about restoring their bodies' youth, and so dangerous that he gave himself and the beasts an extremely powerful totem. The more the Totem King valued him and the more preparations he made, the harder it would be to deal with that man.
Therefore, even though Hurricane was determined to kill Kaxiu, he still took his opponent very seriously. However, there was one thing that Hurricane was confused about: where did this top warrior who suddenly appeared in Florence come from? According to the description of his characteristics, he was neither the Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati nor the mysterious Black Organ Leader.
I'm afraid that all this will only become clear after arriving in Florence...
"There are four great wizards, including me and Wanshou, and there are ten other elite wizards to assist us. This is nearly half of the top fighting force of the Totem Temple. No matter who that person is, he is proud enough to make us fight so violently like never before..."
Hurricane muttered to himself, stepping on the green treetops with his toes.
At the same time, in Far County, Nikka City.
This place is very close to the imperial capital, Florence, less than a hundred kilometers away. Its prosperity is naturally not comparable to Florence, but it is not deserted either. It is already night, but there are still shops open.
Especially the five streets on the east side of Rikka City were brightly lit with candles. People kept coming and going, and there were a lot of carriages parked at both ends of the street. This was a night market, where all kinds of food and goods were sold.
On one of the streets, at a relatively remote old-fashioned pub, a shadow flashed by the door. Two minutes later, the pub closed.
In the dim space, two shadowy figures were talking to each other.
"It has been completely confirmed that the dark biological experiment site in the sixth district of Florence was completely destroyed by an unknown enemy. The whereabouts of Zhuhun and Yangyan are unknown. They may have been captured and tortured, or they may have been killed..."
"Is it possible that the Dark Hunter Organization did this?!"
"We can't rule out this possibility..." The voice paused for a moment: "According to the investigations in the past few days, on the day when the Dark Biological Experimental Field was destroyed, the Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati appeared in the sixth district of Florence. And he was injured when he returned to the Dark Hunter headquarters and received treatment from a doctor..."
"The Dark Hunting Organization discovered our layout?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe they found it, maybe they didn't. I reconnected with the old guys in the royal family and parliament. They said that Grand Councillor Louis and Duke Berry also disappeared on that day, including a Shadow Hunter-level expert who was trained by the Red Council since childhood."
"So, there were not only Zhuhun and Yangyan in the dark creature experiment field that day, but also observers sent by the royal family and the parliament. I have a question. The shadow hunter master who was trained by the Red Lebanese Parliament since childhood was obviously taken there by Grand Councillor Louis. What about Duke Berry? Didn't he bring guards to protect his safety?"
"This is exactly what I have been investigating during this period." Another voice responded: "There are not many strong people in the imperial royal family who can reach the level of Shadow Hunter, and the only one who is close to Duke Berry is the second disciple of Master of Razor Sword Constantine, Silver Core Sword Sass. I have investigated Sass's whereabouts on that day, and he did not appear anywhere for most of the day. Based on intelligence analysis alone, there is something wrong with this person..."
"So what should we do next?"
"Investigate Sass and find out what happened that day. If necessary, we can use torture to extract a confession. In addition, we need to mobilize personnel from the surrounding areas as soon as possible, and let those who have nothing to do come here as much as possible. The guy who was able to destroy the dark biological experiment field and defeat the joint efforts of Zhuhun and Yangyan is definitely not an easy character to deal with..."
"What about Yangyan and Zhuhun? They..."
"Of course they have to look for it, but based on the current situation, we can't hold out too much hope. The most important thing is to get the stone slab back. This is our primary goal, do you understand?" The voice paused for a moment and said, "Fortunately, the data from the Dark Biological Experimental Field will be updated to the organization every month, and all experimental logs must be submitted. Otherwise, the loss this time would be really huge..."
Florence, southeast, Anta Mountains, Anta City.
In front of a bronze pillar where you can summon a carriage by ringing a bell.
Three figures were talking.
"What!? You really have mastered the means to escape from Black Rain Villa!
! Don't lie to me, ghost! Don't fool me with this kind of news, or I will make you pay the price no matter how good my temper is! "A middle-aged man in hunting clothes said loudly with a look of shock on his face. He was strong and sturdy, wearing brown leather gloves on his hands, and carrying a mechanical steam crossbow on his back. This metallic crossbow was particularly large, almost occupying most of the wide back. I really don't know how thick the arrows shot by such a mechanical crossbow are, and how heavy the angular arrows are
At first glance, it seems to be used to hunt large monsters.
"Xue Nu, you may not believe the ghost's words, but you can believe what I say. You know, I have never lied to anyone..."
The Iron Knight, still wearing heavy armor, said in a muffled voice.
You know what, after he said that, Xuenu calmed down a little. Although he was still hesitant, his emotions had stabilized a lot.
The main reason is that the Iron Knight has such a good reputation. He always keeps his word and is the kind of Hell Night Monster who speaks with great principle. This kind of person is actually very interesting. He may often cross the bottom line in other aspects and seem like a bad person. But in some aspects, he is particularly trustworthy and will fulfill his promise even if it costs him a heavy price.
This seems to be the bottom line, or an anchor point, of some top knight-level sealers, in order to avoid being overly affected by the side effects of the disaster, thereby breaking through the bottom line of being a human being in all aspects and falling into darkness in an instant.
They always have something they are obsessed with to make themselves look like a human being.
The Iron Knight's persistence undoubtedly means that he will fulfill his promises.
So when he said that, and Blood Crossbow confirmed that the Iron Knight did not have that kind of completely corrupted chaotic aura, Blood Crossbow was somewhat convinced.
Soon, the three of them began to communicate under the assumption that the secret drug of fake death existed. Blood Crossbow also accepted some plans at a fairly fast speed.
The ghost man also made certain promises. For example, he would bring some secret drugs for fake death at some stage. He would use low-level sealers to test the effect in order to appease the blood crossbow. Seeing that the ghost man and the iron knight agreed so straightforwardly, the blood crossbow felt more confident.
His thinking changed quickly.
"Tell me, how are the three of us going to deal with Ripple Master Khorne Black Dragon?"
The blood crossbow stared at the ghost.
The ghost shook his head: "It's not the three of us, but many, many top knight-level masters. So far, including you and me, five people have reached a cooperation. So, you are not fighting alone. What we want to establish is an organization..."
******************************
The next day, at the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization, a single-family house.
Kaxiu walked out of the bathroom, and the golden sunlight from the other side of the window shone on his naked chest, revealing his magnificent and strong outline.
The water drops slid down the thick shoulders, but were absorbed by the gaps in the muscles.
It's impossible to drag out a water stain like a thin person.
He spent a long time last night getting familiar with the power, and worked tirelessly on the sound tooth power. He also had to frequently repair his body that was injured by this extreme power. Kaxiu only slept for about five hours, but it was enough. He woke up from bed at about 7:30 this morning.
The breeze blew in from the window, carrying the fragrance of soil and green leaves.
Kaxiu was still putting on his pants when there was a knock on the door on the first floor.
He walked slowly down to open the door, and was surprised to find that it was a young hunter who came to deliver clothes. After delivering the clothes, the man left quickly.
Kaxiu returned to the bedroom and spread a few things on the bed.
On the left are two sets of clothing, the exclusive uniforms of Shadow Hunters.
The design is handsome and stylish, a bit like a navy uniform. There are hard bulges on the shoulders, like the shoulder guards of armor. There are also tassel-like decorations on the chest, with several metal buckles on the edges. There is also a long sash on the back similar to a small cape, giving people the feeling of a general knight.
This is obviously not the kind of clothing that Dark Hunter wears on a daily basis, but more like a ceremonial outfit for important occasions. Of course, it looks quite pretentious.
On the right side of this set of clothing is a tight-fitting combat suit with a similar overall design style. Of course, when it comes to tight-fitting, it is not the kind of thin, cicada-wing-like clothes that stick to the body in later generations, but it is similar to the training clothes in martial arts halls. The material is very elastic and not easy to be destroyed, and the joints are thickened.
Kaxiu fixed his gaze on the far right.
There was a black mask of unknown material, with patterns on it that had the intricate feeling of an ancient palace, surprisingly quite gorgeous. The antique he passed through during this trip was this kind of dark hunter mask.
Masks were useful in the past, but now they are more like a kind of commemorative significance passed down from generation to generation. The Red Li Empire has existed for thousands of years. In the first few hundred years, the Dark Hunter Organization was a sharp butcher knife in the hands of the imperial family. Not only does it have the current role, but it also undertakes assassination and surveillance behind the scenes. Masks that can cover the face have also been used.
But now it has been separated and has no practical effect.
Kaxiu took a slow look and began to put on his clothes. He knew that there was a ceremony prepared for him in the Hunter Association Hall today. Just like the awarding of medals to generals in the army, there must be enough spectators.
The Black Chief will also appear at the awarding ceremony, and will most likely have a private chat with Kaxiu after the ceremony.
After tidying himself up a bit, he stood in front of a full-length mirror.
His tall figure supported the attire similar to a general's uniform, especially his broad shoulders, which made the two shoulder guards look tougher.
Kaxiu took a look at the Dark Hunter Mask in his hand, and hung it on a specially prepared inverted buckle on his left chest, pressing it firmly against his pectoral muscles.
There is no reverse buckle on the right side, but the Dark Hunter badge can be directly pinned on. In the sun, it shines with metallic luster, and there is a "2" on the surface.
Thirty seconds later, Shadow Hunter No. 2, Kashu, left the residence.
He walked towards the Hunter Association Hall, and on the way he frequently encountered hunters who stopped to watch. All of them showed emotions and movements of being frightened on the spot, and were stunned and silent, like wooden people. It was not until Kaxiu's figure was completely away from the street that they began to talk in a lively manner.
"Hunter No. 2!? Was my eyes playing tricks on me just now?"
"Could it be that only two of the five Dark Hunters are left? Is there some powerful enemy that suddenly threatens our Hunter Association? Oh my God..."
"What incredible thing happened in the Shadow Hunter competition yesterday? Bai Kui won, I'm not surprised at all, after all, he is indeed a dark horse. But how did he become the second Shadow Hunter..."
Amidst all the discussions, Kashu had already arrived at the hall of the Hunter Association.
He pushed the door open and walked in, and everyone's eyes were focused on his body, especially the Dark Hunter badge on his right chest.
But compared to the hunters outside, the hunters present were all quite important. Many of them had already received the news and were the first to be shocked.
Therefore, Kaxiu wearing the badge of the No. 2 Dark Hunter did not cause any uproar. Instead, there were pairs of eyes that were burning with curiosity.
He swept his eyes across the hall and saw a group of old hunters with rosy faces and Claire on the left. Thorn Solomon and Lion King Soth were nowhere to be seen, probably because they didn't come. There were also some familiar or unfamiliar figures, some from the Shadow Hunter Organization, and some from the Royal Council. At the front, there were four Shadow Hunters lined up in a row. They looked at Kaxiu with an inexplicable look.
He didn't know how many of these people were hostile to him, but it didn't matter. Kaxiu believed in fists. As long as his fists were big enough, the enemy would kneel down no matter how humiliated he was, and he would hold back any complaints in his heart.
He strode with his head held high, heading toward the central aisle and toward the platform.
There were two people waiting there. On the left was Dilixiati, a Holy Light Hunter in a black suit, who was very familiar to Kaxiu. On the right was a man with a strong presence, with short red hair that looked like burning flames, and even his eyebrows were red. His hands were slightly drooping, and he wore a golden ring on his right thumb. The surface of the ring seemed to have liquid metal flowing, like a small golden snake climbing and spinning.
The red-haired man felt Kaxiu's gaze and turned to look over.
At this moment, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other quietly in the air.
