They were getting closer and closer …
When they were close enough, the leader shouted, "Go!"
As he shouted, the few of them charged at Linlong and surrounded him in the blink of an eye.
Once they surrounded Lin Long, they were relieved. Lin Long was completely surrounded by them, so there was no way he could escape.
"What are you guys doing?" Linlong pretended to be confused.
"Hehe, brat, to tell you the truth, you are a fragrant steamed bun. Someone wants to deal with you, and has offered a very high price. We have no way to resist them, so we can only apologize." The boss laughed.
He was naturally in a good mood because he felt that Linlong couldn't escape.
"What did the girl in black offer you?" Linlong asked.
"So you also know who your enemy is … You won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, you know that we will capture you and give you to her," the leader said.
"Kid, surrender now. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!" Another person said coldly.
"It's a pity that I don't intend to give up." Linlong sighed and took out the rune wooden sword.
"Kid, do you think you can use this wooden sword to deal with us?"
The few of them didn't think that Linlong could activate the wooden rune sword, so they weren't worried at all.
"What do you guys think?" Linlong smiled indifferently. After saying that, runes suddenly lit up on the wooden sword in his hand.
The sudden flash shocked the few of them, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.
What made them heave a sigh of relief was that it was only a flash, and the wooden rune sword returned to normal.
It seemed that this kid couldn't activate the wooden rune sword at all! The leader thought to himself.
He was afraid that a long delay would cause trouble, so he didn't want to waste any more time with Linlong. Hence, he said coldly, "Attack!"
Before he finished speaking, the other three had already swung the longswords in their hands at Linlong.
The corners of Linlong's mouth curled up slightly when he saw the longswords coming at him. In the next moment, runes flashed on the wooden runic sword in his hand. This time, there were clearly more runes than before. Not only that, but the wooden runic sword also emitted a powerful energy.
Not good, this kid can activate the wooden rune sword! The four people around him were greatly alarmed.
At this point, how could they not see that Linlong could activate the runic wooden sword?
But what else could the three of them do at this moment? They could only continue brandishing their swords at Lin Long. Only their leader, who didn't make a move, turned around and ran.
The sword light flashed, and the three people surrounding Lin Long were all slashed by the rune wooden sword in Lin Long's hand.
There was no way they could withstand Linlong's runic wooden sword. Hence, they were already injured in just one move.
They hurriedly retreated in pain, but it was too late. The runic wooden sword in Linlong's hand once again attacked them.
"Ah ah ah …"
Three miserable shrieks rang out as the three of them lost their lives to the runic wooden sword.
Hearing such a scream, the boss ran even faster.
Fortunately, he had run away when he saw that the situation was not good. Otherwise, how could he have escaped? As he ran, he had lingering fears.
After running for a while, he stopped when he felt that no one was chasing him.
This time, he was in trouble. The current situation made him frown.
Previously, because there were three other people around, he was not afraid of the fierce beasts inside. But now, it was different. Without those three people, how would he dare to fight with the fierce beasts inside?
It seemed that he could only find a place to hide and wait for the time to come. He frowned and thought.
With this thought, he carefully moved forward. He remembered that there was a stone cave in front of him. It seemed that there were no fierce beasts inside, so he planned to hide there.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
This was because the person who walked over was none other than Linlong.
"You … How did you catch up?" He couldn't help but be shocked.
When he looked back just now, he clearly didn't see anyone. How could he not be shocked when he suddenly saw Linlong?
"Of course I walked up," Linlong said indifferently.
In the next moment, the boss immediately knelt down and begged, "Little brother, let me go. I'll give you whatever you want …"
"Too late," Linlong said.
However, he didn't directly kill him. Instead, he asked, "What is the background of that girl in black? Why did you all submit to her like this?"
Linlong knew that one of the reasons was that the girl in black had a wooden rune sword.
"She said she was the daughter of the Martial King of Rain Country," the boss said pitifully. The boss immediately said pitifully, "She promised us glory, splendor, wealth, and even had a powerful weapon like the runic wooden sword in her hands. We could only compromise."
"The daughter of the Martial King of Rain Country?" Linlong frowned.
"It's absolutely true. She showed us a token, and that token is indeed that Martial Monarch's keepsake." The boss hurriedly said.
"Is that so." Linlong nodded, and then said, "Then you can go!"
Before he finished speaking, the wooden rune sword in his hand moved again, and in the next moment, it slashed across the boss' throat. It was already too late for the boss to say anything.
Seeing that the boss didn't lie and had no value, Linlong naturally killed him with a single strike.
The daughter of the Martial King of Rain Country … was the daughter of such a king so powerful? Such doubts flashed through Linlong's mind.
Of course, no one could answer such a question.
After taking the boss' spatial ring, Linlong left and walked towards the gully on the side.
Unknowingly, a period of time passed. During this time, Linlong didn't encounter the girl in black, Xie Gao Yang, and the others, but he did encounter some other people.
Some of these people were obviously coerced by the girl in black to deal with him, but they were no match for him with the wooden rune sword in his hand.
However, Linlong didn't think of killing them because he was afraid that the people of the School of Runes would investigate.
After all, if they found out how so many people died when they went out, it would be bad if they investigated.
Since he didn't want to kill them, Linlong naturally didn't want to expose the fact that he could activate the wooden rune sword, because that would alert the girl in black and the others.
He couldn't kill them, and he couldn't expose the fact that he could activate the wooden rune sword, so Linlong could only escape.
With his strength, it was naturally easy to escape.
Finally, after a period of time, Linlong encountered the girl in black, Xie Gao Yang, and the others.
The girl in black seemed to be fine, but Xie Gao Yang and the others looked a little miserable. Each of their faces had scars left by the Black Spirit Birds.
However, none of them were missing, so they must have killed all the Black Spirit Birds.
Linlong felt that it should be because there were very few Black Spirit Birds here. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill all of them so easily.
At this time, Linlong was hiding behind a big tree not far away from these people, so they didn't see him.
"Damn, where is that kid hiding? We've been looking for him for so long, but we still can't find him!" Someone next to Xie Gao Yang cursed.
"That kid couldn't have died, right?" Another person said.
"What do you mean died? Someone said he was seen just now!" Xie Gao Yang frowned.
"Don't talk nonsense, open your eyes and look for him!" The girl in black who was walking in front said coldly.
As soon as the girl in black spoke, Xie Gao Yang and the others didn't dare to say anything.
Linlong knew that he wouldn't be able to gain an advantage if he rushed forward like this. This was because the girl in black was also wielding a Wooden Rune Sword. Although the two Wooden Rune Swords were very different, their combat power seemed to be similar. If he was entangled by the girl in black, he would definitely give Xie Gao Yang and the others an opportunity.
I can only think of a way to separate these people, Linlong thought to himself.
As he thought about this, his eyes lit up. He discovered that there was a ferocious beast not far behind him.
He immediately showed himself and chased after the ferocious beast. After a few breaths, he was engaged in a fierce battle with the ferocious beast.
The sounds of battle immediately attracted the attention of the girl in black and the others, and they quickly rushed over.
Their eyes lit up from afar because they discovered that the person who was fighting with the ferocious beast was Linlong.
The girl in black immediately shouted, "Quick, chase after him!"
Just like that, the group of people rushed toward Linlong.
Linlong didn't use the Wooden Rune Sword at this time because he wanted to make the people behind him lower their guard.
When the girl in black and the others got a little closer, he killed the ferocious beast with a single sword strike. However, he pretended that his leg was injured, which made the people behind him even more excited.
"That kid is injured! Quick, chase after him!" Xie Gao Yang shouted.
In an instant, everyone used all their strength to chase after Linlong.
It wasn't a good feeling to be surrounded by these people, so Linlong quickly fled.
This place happened to be full of trees and weeds, so the girl in black and the others couldn't find Linlong after chasing after him.
There happened to be two ravines here. After furrowing her brows, the girl in black said, "You guys chase after the one on the left. I'll chase after him on the right!"
"Yes!" Xie Gao Yang and the others replied in unison and chased after the ravine on the left.
Linlong happened to be in the ravine on the left, and he had already gone a long distance.
Only when Xie Gaoyang and the others were a little closer did he reveal himself and rush forward.
"He's there! Quick, chase after him!" Xie Gao Yang immediately shouted.
As such, the few people chased after Linlong again.
Although they felt that something was wrong, they couldn't care less at this time. After all, they had the advantage in numbers, and no matter what, Linlong was no match for them.
After running for a distance and making sure that the girl in black couldn't come to his aid, Linlong stopped.
Xie Gaoyang and the others quickly caught up to him and surrounded him.
"Kid, you really can run!" Xie Gaoyang gasped for air.
"Big Brother Xie, this kid doesn't seem to be injured!" One of his subordinates said.
This subordinate observed Linlong's leg very carefully, and he discovered that there was no blood at all. There were also no signs that he was injured by the ferocious beast.
"That's right, I'm not injured," Linlong said with a faint smile.
"What trick are you playing?" Xie Gao Yang frowned. After hearing his subordinate's words, he immediately looked over. When he discovered that Linlong really wasn't injured, he naturally became vigilant.
"Take a look and you'll know." As he spoke, Linlong raised his hand and took out his Wooden Rune Sword. At the same time, runes immediately flashed on the wooden sword.
"You can activate the Wooden Rune Sword!" Xie Gao Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
It was also at this time that Linlong moved. The Wooden Rune Sword in his hand directly attacked Xie Gao Yang, who was in front of him.
Xie Gao Yang hurriedly used his longsword to block in front of him.
However, how could his longsword block Linlong's Wooden Rune Sword?
"Crack!"
With such a sound, his longsword made of fine iron was directly broken by the Wooden Rune Sword. In the next moment, the Wooden Rune Sword even slashed at his chest with residual force.
Xie Gao Yang, who was greatly alarmed, hurriedly retreated, but how could he avoid this sword?
"Puchi!"
With such a sound, Linlong's Wooden Rune Sword directly slashed a wound across his chest.
"Ah …" With a miserable cry, Xie Gao Yang directly fell to the ground.
Although it sounded like a long time, the entire process was extremely fast. It was so fast that the surrounding people didn't even have the time to realize that Xie Gao Yang was already dead.
The remaining people hurriedly brandished the longswords in their hands and attacked Linlong. Linlong moved his hand, and the Wooden Rune Sword directly slashed at them.
"Kacha kacha kacha …"
Amidst such sounds, these people's longswords were all broken by Linlong's Wooden Rune Sword.
There were even three people who were directly injured by Linlong's sword energy.
Seeing that Linlong was so powerful, these people no longer dared to encircle him. They turned around and fled. However, how could Linlong possibly give them the opportunity to escape?
After a few more strikes, these people were all knocked to the ground by him.
At this moment, the sound of someone sprinting over could be heard from ahead.
Needless to say, it was the black-clothed young lady who heard the commotion and rushed over to help.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the black-clothed young lady's figure appeared in front of Linlong.
Looking at Xie Gao Yang and the others on the ground, the black-clothed young lady's face immediately revealed an astonished expression.
"You … How did you kill them?" she cried out in alarm.
Soon, she realized why. It was because the Wooden Rune Sword in Linlong's hand suddenly had a few runes flickering.
The black-clothed young lady was extremely puzzled. She asked, "Where did you get the Wooden Rune Sword? Moreover, you can even activate it?"
"I obtained it inside," Linlong replied with a calm smile.
"I obtained it inside. Could it be that you already know how to activate the Rune Academy's Rune Sword?" the black-clothed young lady asked doubtfully.
"You don't need to know that. In any case, let's have a showdown." Linlong picked up the Wooden Rune Sword and pointed it at the other party.
The black-clothed young lady furrowed her brows and said, "Fine, then let's see who is stronger between us!"
Although she did not know what kind of Wooden Rune Sword Linlong was using, she could tell that Linlong's Wooden Rune Sword was at most on par with hers.
As soon as she finished speaking, runes immediately flashed on the Wooden Rune Sword in the black-clothed young lady's hand. Then, she directly attacked Linlong.
A streak of sword energy immediately attacked Linlong.
