Shen Jun rolled his eyes and asked, "Miss Zhou, why are you asking this?"
Zhou Yingxue could not help but sigh when she heard what Shen Jun said. She then said, "I'm having trouble comprehending the silent runes. That's why I'm here to ask you what trick you have to be able to comprehend the silent runes in such a short time."
"Oh, I see." Shen Jun nodded and said, "Actually, it was just a flash of inspiration. There's no trick."
Shen Jun naturally had a trick, and that trick was Linlong. However, since he was not sure of Zhou Yingxue's identity and purpose, he naturally would not push Linlong to the front.
If Linlong was harmed because of this, he would be letting him down.
"Is there really no trick?" Zhou Yingxue could not help but ask again.
"Really." Shen Jun still shook his head.
"Forget it then … but thank you anyway," Zhou Yingxue said with a disappointed look.
"Miss Zhou, you're welcome," Shen Jun said.
After that, Zhou Yingxue left dejectedly.
'I'll talk to Brother Lin about this when I see him.' Shen Jun thought as he watched Zhou Yingxue's back.
…
On the other hand, after entering the Catacombs, Linlong could not help but frown because he realized that two people were following him.
The two of them were standing near the entrance of the Catacombs. When they saw him enter, they followed him in. Now, they were following closely behind him. It was obvious that they had an ulterior motive.
What were they trying to do? Linlong was very puzzled.
Fortunately, the two of them seemed to only be able to activate Level-3 Ice Talismans. If they were stronger, it would be a little troublesome.
Linlong immediately quickened his pace. The other party seemed to be afraid of alerting him, so they did not immediately follow him.
Linlong took this opportunity to quickly disappear from the sight of the two people behind him.
The two people following him were naturally sent by the Black Kill Organization. Naturally, they were shocked when they could not see Linlong in such a short time.
"Did that kid notice us?" One of them could not help but say.
"I don't think so. He must have walked to a rock or stopped behind a tree. Let's catch up and take a look!" The other person said.
"Mm." The other person agreed with this statement.
Immediately, the two of them chased after the place where Linlong had disappeared. However, after circling the area, they still could not find Linlong.
This situation made their expressions even uglier.
They couldn't fail the mission like this, so one of them immediately suggested, "That kid must be nearby, let's expand the search area!"
"En." The other nodded in agreement.
The two of them immediately expanded their search radius. How could they know that this was Lin Long's intention?
Linlong followed behind one of them when the two of them parted ways.
When the two of them were a sufficient distance apart, Linlong directly revealed himself and stood behind this person. Hearing the commotion behind him, this person hurriedly turned around and saw Linlong.
"Brat, you have been hiding behind me since the beginning?" That person involuntarily asked when he saw Lin Long appear.
"That's right." Linlong nodded.
"Why are you doing this? Do you think you can deal with me?" The person before him sneered.
According to the intelligence report, Linlong could only activate level-2 ice talismans. How could he take Linlong seriously? It was precisely because of this that the two of them dared to separate like this.
"That's right," Linlong said again. As he spoke, he took out an Ice Talisman. It was a Grade 3 Ice Talisman.
"Grade 3 Ice Talisman?" The person could not help but exclaim when he saw the talisman in Linlong's hand.
"You're not blind." Linlong smiled faintly.
"However, aren't you only able to activate a Grade 2 Ice Talisman? Why did you take out a Grade 3 Ice Talisman?" The person was puzzled.
Come to think of it, until now, he still believed what his superior had told him.
He could not be blamed. After all, the Black Kill Organization had never made any mistakes when it came to intelligence gathering.
Of course, the Black Kill Organization could not be blamed. Who knew that Linlong could actually increase his strength in such a short time?
"Take a closer look and you'll know how strong I am." Linlong smiled again. In the next moment, he silently chanted a rune term.
Then, the talisman in his hand began to burn.
"You can really activate a Grade 3 Ice Talisman!" At this moment, the person could not help but exclaim.
Immediately after, the astonishment on his face intensified because he realized that not only could Linlong activate a Grade 3 Ice Talisman, but he had also completely mastered it.
He was no match for Lin Long! When he realized this, he could not help but be shocked.
However, he had no other choice but to fight Linlong head-on.
The result of fighting head-on was that he was immediately frozen by Linlong's Ice Qi.
Not long after, Linlong subdued him.
Then, the other person who heard the commotion came behind Linlong.
However, since Linlong had already thrown the person he subdued into the weeds at the side, the person did not notice that his companion had been subdued by Linlong.
"Kid, where's Zhu Jiaming?" Seeing that Linlong was alone and his companion was nowhere to be seen, the person could not help but feel puzzled.
His companion was here just now, so he was naturally puzzled when he did not see his companion but Linlong.
"I've subdued your companion," Linlong said calmly.
"Are you kidding? With your strength, you can subdue Zhu Jiaming? "The person before him sneered.
Like Zhu Jiaming, he believed in the Black Kill Organization's intelligence gathering ability. Therefore, he felt that Linlong was lying.
It could be said that in order to ensure that nothing went wrong and that the Black Kill Organization had sufficient manpower today, they sent the two of them out. Otherwise, they only needed to send one person.
"If you don't believe me, you can test my strength," Linlong said again.
The reason why Linlong threw Zhu Jiaming into the weeds was entirely to not scare this person away. With this person's strength, it would be troublesome to chase after him if he was scared away.
"Hehe, since you have a death wish, don't blame me!" The person before him sneered.
After saying that, he took out his Ice Talisman. Just as Linlong had guessed, this person also took out a Level Three Ice Talisman.
At this time, Linlong also took out his Level Three Ice Talisman, which naturally surprised the other party.
Although he was surprised, this person who felt that he would definitely win would not turn around and run away.
However, after the two of them activated the Ice Qi, this person regretted it just like Zhu Jiaming because Linlong could really activate a Level Three Ice Talisman and had completely mastered it.
The result was naturally the same as Zhu Jiaming. This person was quickly subdued by Linlong.
After subduing this person, Linlong then dragged Zhu Jiaming out.
Seeing that Zhu Jiaming was subdued before him, this person's face couldn't help but twitch. If he had known this earlier, he would have run as soon as he saw Linlong. He wouldn't have dared to fight with Linlong. After all, Zhu Jiaming's strength was slightly stronger than his.
Looking at the two people, Linlong said coldly, "Who exactly are you people?"
Until now, he still couldn't figure out where these two people came from. After all, Senior Brother Qian had already submitted to him, so there was no reason for anyone else to deal with him.
"You will be scared to death if we tell you who we are!" Zhu Jiaming sneered.
"But you better not know. It won't do you any good … In short, hurry up and let us go!" The other person said.
"I don't even dare to say who we are. What do I have to be afraid of?" Linlong said calmly.
"In any case, we are people you can't afford to offend!" Zhu Jiaming couldn't help but say angrily.
"Is that so?" Linlong smiled calmly.
After saying that, he couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with these two people anymore. He directly placed a restriction on Zhu Jiaming, who spoke last.
As soon as the restriction was activated, Zhu Jiaming rolled on the ground in pain.
What kind of technique is this? This situation caused the expression of the person who wasn't placed on to change drastically.
Although the restriction wasn't placed on him, he could tell that if it was him, he wouldn't be able to endure this kind of pain either.
After a while, Zhu Jiaming started to beg for mercy. "Spare me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you …"
Seeing this, Linlong finally removed the restriction and said, "Tell me the truth. Otherwise, I don't mind letting you experience this kind of pain again."
At this time, how could Zhu Jiaming dare to say no? He could only say with a bitter expression, "We are … from Black Kill."
The other person originally wanted to stop him, but he was afraid that Linlong would place the restriction on him. So, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"Black Kill? What kind of organization is that? "Linlong frowned.
He hadn't heard of it during this period of time.
"It's an organization similar to the outside world's assassin organization," Zhu Jiaming replied.
"There's such an organization in the academy?" Linlong asked doubtfully.
"Yes, there's such an organization in our academy. This organization doesn't kill people. They only cut off the target's arm or leg," Zhu Jiaming said.
"Oh, then do you want to cut off my arm or leg?" Linlong asked.
"Our mission is to cut off one of your legs," Zhu Jiaming said.
"Cutting off one of my legs? Are you trying to cripple me?" Linlong frowned.
"That has nothing to do with us. We're just carrying out a mission," Zhu Jiaming said with a bitter smile.
"Then do you know who ordered your organization to do this?" Linlong asked.
"No, we're just carrying out a mission."
"Oh, then who's the leader of your organization?" Linlong asked coldly.
"We don't know either. We only know the person who gave us the mission."
"Oh, who is that?" Linlong asked.
"We don't know either. We only know that the person is wearing a horse mask," Zhu Jiaming said.
"A horse mask?"
"However, it's impossible for you to find that person through the horse mask," Zhu Jiaming said.
"Why is that?"
"That person seems to have more than one mask. He doesn't appear in front of everyone with a horse mask … We purposely tried to get close to the person wearing the horse mask in the academy, but we realized that it wasn't that person," Zhu Jiaming said.
"One person in the academy can have more than one mask?" Linlong was shocked again.
"We don't know. Anyway, the person who gave us the mission definitely has two masks!" Zhu Jiaming said with certainty.
"Is everything he said true?" Linlong looked at the person beside him who had not been restricted by the restriction.
"Yes, yes!" The person was shocked and quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
After a short pause, he said again, "I have bad news for you."
"Hmm, what bad news?"
"The people from the Black Murder Organization already know that we failed the mission … When we were restrained by you just now, I secretly activated a Communication Talisman," the person said.
"Communication Talisman?" Linlong frowned. To be honest, he did not know much about the other talismans in this world. Due to the limited time, he focused all his attention on the Ice Talisman.
"This is a kind of talisman that can transmit messages. Once we activated it, the people from the Black Murder Organization would know that we failed the mission," the person said.
He then quickly said, "Brother Lin, please understand that anyone would do the same in that situation … So, I hope that you can spare my life."
He did not want to say it at first, but after some thought, he felt that it was better to tell them everything.
"Brother Lin, please spare my life too." Zhu Jiaming also hurriedly said.
They were afraid that Linlong would kill them.
"Spare your lives? That's not impossible. Now, swallow this pill!" Linlong said as he took out two Ten Days Heart Attack Pills and threw them to the two of them.
"What's this?" The two of them could not help but be shocked.
"This is the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill. If you don't take the antidote within half a month after taking it, you'll die," Linlong said calmly.
His words made the two of them change their expressions. Linlong even had such a strange trick up his sleeve. They did not doubt his words at all.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to swallow it?" Linlong said again when he saw the two of them hesitating.
What else could they do? They could only swallow the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill obediently.
…
At this time, in the west of the Catacombs, a person wearing a wolf mask suddenly stopped. Then, a rune suddenly flashed in front of him.
As soon as the rune appeared, a voice immediately echoed in his ears. "Li Qian and Zhu Jiaming have failed the mission. They are now in the middle of the Catacombs. Go and take a look!"
"The Black Murder Organization actually failed the mission. What a surprise. I'll go and see what exactly caused it!" The man wearing the wolf mask muttered to himself. Then, he left the place and headed toward the center of the Subterranean Cavern.
Not long after, he arrived at the middle of the Catacombs. As soon as he arrived, he took out a talisman from his body. After silently reciting a rune term, the talisman started burning.
The burning talisman made him sense something. In the next moment, he sprinted toward the east.
That direction was where Linlong and the others were.
He was very fast. Not long after, he was very close to Linlong and the others.
At this time, Linlong had just given the two of them the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill.
