A hare with alternating gray and white fur scurried across the ground. It stopped under the bushes. There was a fork in the road ahead. The hare hesitated. Its red eyes looked left and right. Finally, the hare chose the path on the right. After a few leaps, it disappeared among the rocks.
Allen walked to the bushes where the hare had stopped. He pointed to the path on the left and said, "This way."
He followed the tracks that might have been left by Vanishing Shadow. When there were no clues, or when it was hard to decide which path to take, he would release the hare and let it go in the opposite direction of the hare. At first, Gao Hu was very suspicious of this method. However, after a few tries, Allen found some tracks left by wild beasts and dispelled Gao Hu's doubts.
Some of the tracks were very new. They should have been left in the last one or two days.
Walking on the path, Gao Hu couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how did you do it? These rabbits seem to be able to help us find Vanishing Shadow. "
"Every life exists in the world for a reason. Rabbits, for example, are very weak. This kind of animal was very weak, but such a weak life form had never been extinct. It's not without reason that they can reproduce to this day, Gao Hu. Rabbits are very sensitive to their natural enemies. They don't have a keen sense of smell like hunting dogs, but they have their own way of survival. These little fellows know how to seek luck and avoid danger. In places where you can't make a decision, you'll often get something by choosing the opposite direction. Because those places are where the rabbits think there's danger. Do you understand now? " Allen wouldn't tell Big Beard that when he lived on the surface, he often relied on rabbits to find dangerous but delicious wild beasts.
For Allen in his childhood, it was a rare feast.
The sun was high in the sky.
Allen appeared on a gentle slope. The stone slope was rough, and there were a few clumps of stubborn weeds growing on it. Allen hid behind a clump of weeds. He reached out and gently parted the grass. His gaze fell on the slope. There was a natural platform at the bottom. In front of him was a steep cliff. Next to it was a mountain path that went around to the top. On the left was a cave. There were five or six wolves at the cave entrance. One of them was the largest. It had one eye and glossy black fur. It was lazily lying on the ground, basking in the sun. The other wild wolves were playing by its side. A pitiful wild rabbit was surrounded by a pack of wolves, but the wolves were not in a hurry to kill it. They just teased the rabbit and ran around in all directions.
They looked like the guards of the cave.
"Shadowless is in there?"
"I don't know, but it's worth investigating." Allen looked at Big Beardy. "But we have to get rid of the guards first."
Highbeard raised his axe. "Watch me!" Then, he jumped down the slope. The wolves that were playing with the rabbits were startled and immediately scattered in all directions. The big black wolf also stood up abruptly, its fur standing on end. It bared its teeth and growled threateningly at the Highbeard. Without the order from the black wolf who seemed to be the leader, the other five wolves had already pounced on the bearded man.
This was an unfair battle. Even though the wolves were ferocious, they were no match for a powerhouse like the Highbeard. Gao Hu didn't even need to use his Origin Energy. Just his basic strength alone was enough to render the Wild Wolf helpless. The five wolves were quickly killed by the Highbeard. Seeing that the situation wasn't right, the remaining black wolf turned around and fled into the cave. Suddenly, a bolt of black lightning pierced through the air and nailed into the wolf's body. It was Fares's Black Ice.
The Black Ice nailed the wolf to death, and the wolf's corpse quickly froze. Fares jumped onto the platform and pulled out his spear beside the corpse. The wolf's corpse immediately shattered into pieces. The Highbeard was speechless. After interacting with Allen and the others, Big Beardy had already seen the extraordinary weapons in Allen's hands.
Lola stood at the entrance of the cave with Xue Sha on her back. The wind blowing from the cave lifted her hair. She looked back at Allen. "There are stronger beasts in the cave."
"Looks like we've found the right place." Allen walked toward the cave entrance and gestured to Lola. Lola nodded and pulled Adele back. After Fares and the others entered the cave, they didn't follow. Lola whispered a few words in Adele's ear, and the latter nodded and the two of them left together.
The cave wasn't dark. Light fell from some of the cracks in the rocks above, making the things in the cave vaguely visible. The cave was very wide, and the deeper it went, the more spacious it became. The air in the cave was filled with a strange smell, and soon Allen found a goat that had been gnawed to the bone. The goat's corpse was covered in flies, and there were many animal bones nearby. Gao Hu murmured, "So this is their kitchen."
Allen glanced at the goat and said, "But they clearly lack a good chef."
"There's light over there." Regis raised Zhu Jue and pointed to the left. There was a light there, as if it was the exit.
At the same time, Diego climbed onto a rock that jutted out of the mountain. He carefully placed the magic sniper rifle on it and looked through the scope at the cave Allen and the others had entered. A smile appeared on Diego's face. "Allen, Allen, thank you so much. Looks like you've found Vanishing Shadow for us. That's good too. Our Highness Howson can't hold back anymore. "
He put down his sniper rifle, took out a mirror from under his battle robe, and shook it at a mountain opposite him. The mirror refracted sunlight and became a simple signal. Soon, two flashes of light appeared on the other side of the mountain. Diego knew that Howson and the others had received the signal and were moving towards them. All he had to do next was wait and guard the cave entrance. If Allen and the others retreated, Diego would be happy to give Allen some surprises.
However, just as he lay down, an ear-piercing howl suddenly sounded from the mountain peak, like the scream of a sea banshee. Diego's hair and beard stood on end, his heart beating wildly, and a warning sign suddenly rose in his heart. He didn't even have time to pick up his sniper rifle and immediately retreated. Almost as soon as his toes left the ground, a spiral ripple instantly arrived. In front of the ripple was a high-speed rotating Origin Energy sniper bullet. It easily exploded a hole in the ground! The power was inconceivably great. The rock that Diego had been lying on just now broke apart and fell off the cliff along with his sniper rifle.
"Damn it!" Diego cursed. His magic sniper rifle was a rare weapon, especially in a place like Planet Heaven. With this magic sniper rifle, Diego had sniped many difficult people and accumulated a lot of military merits. But now, he didn't have time to be upset about losing the magic sniper rifle. A wave of rough footsteps was approaching, and the heavy footsteps seemed to step on his heart with every step.
Diego raised his head and saw an incredible figure approaching at high speed on a mountain wall to the left above his head. It was a woman. Diego believed that he wouldn't be mistaken. However, this woman had too many beastly characteristics. Beast pupils, leopard tails, and inverted legs like hoofed animals made this woman look more like an orc. However, as far as Diego knew, even in the Duchy of Shadow where monsters gathered, there were no creatures that matched this image.
At this moment, this wild woman dragged a dark red longsword and ran down the mountain wall at high speed in a manner that violated the laws of physics. Every step she took would cause large cracks to appear on the mountain wall. When she arrived above Diego's head, she leaped into the air, pointed her sword downwards, and landed straight down in an incomparably powerful posture. Diego immediately slid back. The woman had already smashed into the ground, causing a large amount of rubble to rise. The sword in her hand bounced up and slashed out. The ground beneath the sword split open, and a large amount of mud powder sprayed out from the cracks. An invisible sword force collided with Diego.
Diego crossed his arms, squatted down slightly, and arched his legs, assuming a defensive posture. The sword energy landed on his body and collided with Diego's protective Origin Energy, causing balls of flying flames to explode out. Diego's feet were nailed to the ground, ploughing out two ravines and sliding a few meters away before stopping. He cursed, "It hurts." However, he didn't dare to neglect. He pulled out two short sticks from behind his waist and spun them together. A section of the iron rod extended from both sides, and a triangular spear head rose from each end of the rod. Diego had a double-headed spear in his hand.
Laura pursed her lips and smiled. Blood drooped down. She suddenly exerted her strength and charged towards Diego in a violent and wild manner. Diego pointed his spear at Lola's face. The latter arched her shoulders and knocked away the spear, ignoring the cut made on her shoulder by the tip of the spear. Blood Killing swept out, and the sword wind howled like thunder. Diego immediately leaned back, his head almost touching the ground. Seeing Sha Xue flash past his eyes with an afterimage, a drop of sweat fell from Diego's forehead.
The sound of the wind rose again, but this time, it was Laura who directly kicked him. Diego didn't have time to pull back his spear, so he could only block it with one hand. With a muffled bang, he was kicked away by Lola. Diego, who had taken the opportunity to pull away, rolled twice on the ground and bounced up, assuming an offensive posture. Suddenly, a sharp howl rang out from the mountains. Diego's expression finally changed, "Damn it, two against one. This isn't fair!"
In response, a spiral ripple descended from the sky. At the center of the ripple, a Origin Energy sniper bullet rotated crazily. Diego retracted his gun and slid back. The sniper bullet exploded a large hole between his feet. Diego didn't want to fight, so he dragged his gun and ran. Lola was no longer so easy to defend against, and with Adele, who was constantly looking for opportunities to snipe, Diego really had no interest in fighting.
Of course, Lola didn't intend to let him go just like that. It wasn't easy to lure him out. Lola didn't have the habit of letting go of her prey, so she immediately dragged her sword and chased after him.
At the same time Adele and the others attacked, Allen and the others drilled out of the cave. Outside the cave was a valley, and they were at the bottom of the valley. Rocks and grass grew everywhere, and towering mountains blocked the sunlight, leaving a large shadow in the valley. The valley was strangely quiet. Gao Hu wanted to say something, but Allen stretched out a finger and shook his head. At this moment, a wind suddenly blew in the valley, and countless long grass flew into the sky. Amidst the flying manuscripts, a black shadow suddenly pounced on Allen. Allen's line of sight was immediately filled with white sharp teeth. That huge mouth was so big that it could bite off his entire upper body.
