Next, just as Kong Wu was about to catch up to him, Linlong discovered a few more beasts and rushed over.
However, what made him depressed was that Kong Wu was too close to him this time. He did not manage to get all the beasts to surround Kong Wu, so he ended up being entangled by one of the beasts.
Kong Wu was naturally not someone that Yang Yun could compare to. Hence, being surrounded by this beast was equivalent to giving Kong Wu an opportunity.
Kong Wu quickly killed the beast that was entangling him and then caught up to Linlong.
After Linlong finished off the beast, he stood in front of Linlong to block his path.
"Kid, you really know how to run. If it was anyone else, I'm afraid you would have escaped!" Kong Wu said coldly as he stared at Linlong.
The person he hated the most was naturally Hu Wen, who had thrown the runic bullet. However, Hu Wen had disappeared just now, so Kong Wu had no choice but to chase after Linlong.
"Senior Brother Kong, I just happen to know a little movement technique." Linlong laughed.
"Are you going to surrender yourself or do you want me to do it?" Kong Wu said coldly.
"This … I think I'll surrender. I'll give you the wooden runic sword in my hand." Linlong said helplessly.
As he had not mastered the stone runic sword, he could only take the wooden runic sword.
After saying that, he gestured to throw the wooden runic sword over. In the next moment, he actually turned around and ran.
"Kid, you really have a death wish!" Kong Wu could not help but fly into a rage.
He immediately chased after Linlong.
This time, he was naturally able to catch up to Lin Long very quickly. However, he immediately came to a halt after taking a few steps. This was because he discovered that there were two more people in front of him. One of them was Hu Wen, who had just fled, while the other was dressed in black and wore a bamboo hat on his head. He was unable to clearly see what the other party looked like.
However, the powerful aura that the other party exuded shocked him.
This person's strength was definitely above his, Kong Wu thought to himself.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Linlong hid behind the two people. He had suddenly turned around to escape just now because he sensed that someone was behind him.
"Who are you?" Kong Wu asked coldly as he stared at the man in black with the bamboo hat.
"Someone who will kill you," the man replied.
His voice was extremely hoarse, and Linlong could not tell his age at all.
"Kill me?" Kong Wu couldn't help but be startled. He hurriedly said, "I'm Teacher Yao Hongsheng's subordinate. If you kill me, aren't you afraid that the elders and the dean will pursue the matter?"
"It's fine as long as they don't find out." The black-clothed man wearing the bamboo hat suddenly smiled.
Upon hearing this, Kong Wu's expression changed drastically as he turned around and ran. However, even though he ran as fast as he could, he was still quickly blocked by the man in black.
So fast! The speed of the man in black shocked Linlong.
As soon as the black-clothed man stopped Kong Wu, he unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Kong Wu.
It was a silver longsword, and there were also runes drawn on it.
This should be the silver sword. The silver sword is one grade stronger than the iron sword. Kong Wu is no match for this person, Linlong thought.
However, other than Yao Hongsheng, there were only Fang Liang and the others who could only use iron swords. How could this person stay in the Stone Wood World? Could it be that he had somehow snuck into the Stone Wood World?
Such doubts flashed through Linlong's mind again.
"Silver sword!" Kong Wu's expression froze, and he exclaimed in shock. He then asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"You're about to die. Why are you asking so many questions?!" The black-clothed man said coldly.
After saying that, he directly attacked Kong Wu with his sword.
Kong Wu hurriedly raised the iron sword in his hand to block, but he was no match for the black-clothed man.
"Clang!"
With a loud sound, the iron sword in his hand was broken by the black-clothed man. In the next moment, the black-clothed man pointed the silver sword at his throat.
"No … Don't kill me!" Kong Wu hurriedly said.
The black-clothed man didn't attack immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why are you chasing after the two of them?"
"It's because Captain Fang Liang asked me to follow Lin Li. He said that he wanted me to see if there was anything wrong with him. As for the specifics, I don't know," Kong Wu hurriedly said.
After a short pause, he continued, "You know what happened after that."
"Is that so?" The black-clothed man said calmly.
Before he finished speaking, the longsword in his hand moved, and Kong Wu's head fell to the ground.
Since Kong Wu is here to investigate me, won't Yao Hongsheng and the others find trouble with me after his death? At this moment, Lin Long immediately began to worry.
After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything. Anyway, he would just say that he didn't know. He reckoned that those people wouldn't be able to do anything to him without any evidence.
Just as he was thinking about this, the black-clothed man walked in front of him.
"Your name is Lin Li?" the black-clothed man asked.
"Yes." Lin Long nodded.
"You gave Hu Wen a Black Ink Stone and asked him to help you remove the blood essence from the Runestone Sword?" the black-clothed man asked again.
"That's right."
"Then where did you get that Black Ink Stone?" the black-clothed man asked again.
"I was lucky. They killed a giant spider, and then two Black Ink Stones fell. I picked one up when no one was paying attention," Lin Long said.
"Is that so?" The black-clothed man obviously didn't believe him. He stared at Lin Long, and said, "Did you get it when you were trapped in the graveyard of the Stone Woodmen?"
Could it be that this black-clothed man heard the rumors? Lin Long thought to himself, and immediately said, "That's not true."
"Oh." After that, the black-clothed man didn't continue asking, which made Lin Long heave a sigh of relief.
Then, the black-clothed man said, "Take out your waist token."
Although he was puzzled about what the black-clothed man was going to do, Lin Long still took out his waist token. After all, the black-clothed man was stronger than him now, and could easily kill him.
After taking it out, Lin Long handed it over.
After receiving Lin Long's waist token, the black-clothed man picked up the silver sword in his hand and placed it on Lin Long's waist token. At this moment, Lin Long could see a drop of blood on the silver sword falling towards his waist token.
This silver sword had just killed Kong Wu, so there was no doubt that this drop of blood belonged to Kong Wu.
"What are you doing?" Lin Long couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
The black-clothed man didn't answer him. Instead, he threw his waist token to Hu Wen.
Lin Long immediately turned his head and saw that Hu Wen had taken out a bottle of medicinal liquid from his spatial ring. This medicinal liquid was different from the one used to remove the runic stone sword's blood essence.
Hu Wen dripped a drop of medicinal liquid from the bottle onto Lin Long's waist token.
After the medicinal liquid was dripped onto it, the drop of blood on the waist token quickly disappeared, as if it had become one with Lin Long's waist token.
"Uncle Hu, what are you doing?" Lin Long asked again.
Hu Wen didn't answer. Instead, the black-clothed man said, "This way, your waist token contains Kong Wu's blood essence. Once the people from the Rune Institute check your waist token, you can imagine the consequences."
After hearing the black-clothed man's words, how could Lin Long not know what was going on? His expression immediately changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me?"
"No …" The black-clothed man shook his head. "I'm not threatening you. I just want you to work for me. Moreover, you can't hide anything from me. For example, my question just now!"
As he spoke, the black-clothed man stared at Lin Long. It was obvious that he was suspicious of Lin Long's previous words.
How could Lin Long admit it? He immediately said, "That is indeed the case."
The black-clothed man didn't continue. Instead, he said, "Then let's leave it at that for today. When you return, pretend that you don't know anything. When the time comes, Yao Hongsheng and the others won't make things difficult for you."
"Who are you? Why are you doing this? "Lin Long couldn't help but ask.
After hearing Lin Long's words, the black-clothed man coldly said, "Do more and ask less. This is good for you. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died!"
Knowing that the black-clothed man wouldn't answer him, Lin Long didn't say anything else.
"Alright, you can leave now," the black-clothed man said again.
Hu Wen directly threw the waist token over. After receiving the waist token, Lin Long glanced at the two of them and left.
After returning to the campsite, he took out his waist token and studied it. He wanted to see if there was a way to remove Kong Wu's blood essence from the waist token. This way, the other party wouldn't be able to use this matter to threaten him.
However, what made him feel helpless was that he couldn't do it with his current strength. In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
After that, he began to study the Runic Stone Sword that had been cleansed of the blood essence. Unknowingly, two days had passed. The Runic Stone Sword was obviously harder to master than the Runic Wooden Sword, but two days was enough for Lin Long to master it.
He was fiddling with the Runic Stone Sword in his hand in his room. The Runic Stone Sword suddenly shot out a ray of sword Qi towards the void.
Only then did Lin Long put away the Runic Stone Sword, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
However, he had only just mastered it, and he still needed some time to fully master the Runic Stone Sword.
It was at this moment that the sound of knocking came from outside the room.
"Lin Li, are you in?" At the same time, a voice came from outside.
Lin Long could tell that it was Fang Liang's voice.
It seemed that Yao Hongsheng and Fang Liang had already discovered that Kong Wu was missing. Lin Long immediately opened the door, and sure enough, Fang Liang and the others were standing outside.
Looking at them, Lin Long pretended to be surprised, and asked, "Senior Brother Fang Liang, what's the matter?"
Fang Liang and the others didn't speak, and walked in and closed the door. Then, Fang Liang said coldly, "Lin Li, have you seen Kong Wu these few days?"
"Kong Wu? Who's Kong Wu? "Lin Long said with a confused look.
Seeing Lin Long's expression, Fang Liang and the others' faces twitched.
This kid doesn't even know Kong Wu! This thought flashed through some people's minds.
"Kong Wu is my subordinate, a member of the Stone Wood World's order. He has the strength of an Iron Sword," Fang Liang said.
As he spoke, he stared at Lin Long, afraid that Lin Long was lying.
"Is that so … What happened to him?" Lin Long asked curiously.
"He's missing," Fang Liang said.
He disappeared while chasing after you, Fang Liang thought.
Of course, he wouldn't say such a thing out loud.
"Is that so? Isn't this a big deal?" Lin Long asked in surprise.
"It is indeed a big deal. That's why we came to ask you if you've seen him," Fang Liang said.
Lin Long shook his head and said, "No, I've been out for the past two days, but when I was out, I didn't see anyone with the strength of an Iron Sword."
"Is that true?" someone beside Fang Liang asked.
"Absolutely!" Linlong said with a solemn expression.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of him, and that they couldn't see anything fishy about Lin Long, Fang Liang and the others could only leave.
As soon as they left, he went to report to Yao Hongsheng.
Soon, he saw Yao Hongsheng.
Before he could speak, Yao Hongsheng asked anxiously, "How is it? Did you get anything out of him?"
A disciple with the strength of an Iron Sword had suddenly disappeared. In the Stone Wood World, such a thing was no small matter. He had to get to the bottom of it no matter what.
"He said he didn't see Kong Wu, and we didn't see anything wrong with him," Fang Liang said.
"Is that so?" Yao Hongsheng frowned.
"Teacher Yao, should we go out and search? I have a feeling that something happened to Kong Wu," Fang Liang said.
"Alright." Yao Hongsheng nodded, then said, "But first, gather everyone."
Not long after, everyone in the camp was gathered at the training field of the camp. Lin Long was also called over.
"What's going on? Why did Teacher Yao suddenly gather us together?"
At this time, everyone on the training field was asking each other the same question. However, no one would give them an answer.
At this time, Yao Hongsheng, who was standing at the front, opened his mouth and said, "Everyone, quiet down!"
Hearing his words, everyone quietened down and focused their gazes on him.
Yao Hongsheng continued, "Have any of you seen Kong Wu?"
For a moment, no one said anything. After a while, someone said, "Two days ago, I saw him leave from the South Gate."
"Other than that, what else did you see?" Yao Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked that person.
"I also saw Guo Mo beside him, and Guo Mo had his wolf dog with him," that person said again.
Hearing this, how could Yao Hongsheng not know that Kong Wu went to follow Lin Long?
If Guo Mo and his wolf dog were brought along, then they should really be following Lin Long. With this thought, Yao Hongsheng immediately shifted his gaze to Lin Long.
With just a glance, he continued to ask that person, "Where did you see them go?"
"If I guessed correctly, they should be heading towards Wuyang Lake," that person said.
"Other than that, what else?" Yao Hongsheng asked again.
"Nothing else." That person shook his head.
"Is that so?" Yao Hongsheng nodded, then looked at the others, and said, "What about you guys? Did you guys find anything?"
"Nothing." The others shook their heads.
"Alright, then you guys can leave first," Yao Hongsheng said.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Kong Wu has gone missing?"
"I don't know, but it seems possible."
"But Senior Brother Kong Wu has the strength of an Iron Sword-rank, how could he go missing?"
"Who knows?"
The people who left all began to discuss among themselves.
Lin Long did not leave, because he knew that Yao Hongsheng would bring him to ask again. As expected, Fang Liang quickly walked over and said, "Follow me, Teacher Yao has something to ask you."
Following Fang Liang, Lin Long quickly arrived at the hall from before. At this time, there was only one person inside, and it was Yao Hongsheng.
