Bam bam bam …
The center of Dawo City was the busiest place in the city, especially in October. It was twice as crowded as usual, not even during the New Year.
However, since noon, the atmosphere here had become strange. The crowd was filled with a sense of tension.
Many people held their communicators, opened the messages one by one, and their expressions changed as they rushed to the nearby banks.
The banks of the five major families quickly formed a long queue. As more and more people poured in, the queue stretched all the way to the street.
Faced with the surging tide of people, the employees of the five major families' banks could not say anything. They tried their best to dissuade the customers from rushing to withdraw money. The rumors that were circulating were all rumors.
However, their dissuasion was useless. Instead, more people rushed to the banks.
Even the foundations of the five great clans were somewhat unable to withstand it. The capital flow of each bank was rapidly decreasing.
The executives of the banks were sweating profusely. If this went on, the five major families would not last more than a few days, no matter how much money they had.
However, they could not do too much. Otherwise, the rumors would be confirmed, and the five major families' predicament would worsen.
On the other side.
In the manor of the five major families, people came to the door from time to time, claiming to be someone's illegitimate son or daughter.
The festive atmosphere of the entire city seemed to have been punched in the face, dissolving in an instant. Only an increasingly tense atmosphere remained.
On the street, Old Aidan, Mann Xi, and Hai Wuya weaved through the crowd. Looking at the queues on the streets, the three old men were confused.
"What's going on? Is Dawo City going to start a war? So many people are withdrawing money! "
Mann Xi muttered as he looked at the queue that stretched all the way out of a bank. His impression was that there would only be such a scene of panic when a war broke out.
Such a situation was rare. When he was in his twenties, he had encountered the invasion of the Oceanic Beast Army. Only then did the people panic.
However, that was when he was in his twenties. It had been almost two hundred years since then. It was a distant memory …
Old Aidan's face was ashen as he said fiercely, "Why do we care so much? As long as Dawo City is not breached, it's none of our business. What we need to care about now is that thing! That [Blood Bramble Sword]!? "
When he mentioned the [Blood Bramble Sword], Old Aidan growled in an incomparably soft and furious voice. His old face was almost distorted.
"Hmph … That's for you to worry about, not us …"
Hai Wuya glanced at his old friend and snorted. "The Blood Bramble Sword is under your care this year. It's your responsibility if you lose it!"
"How can you say it's my responsibility alone?! The Blood Bramble Thorn Sword is the common property of the Redbud descendants. If it's lost, everyone has to be responsible for finding it! "
Old Aidan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped up and defended himself while pointing his fingers in agitation.
Hai Wuya only sneered and glanced sideways at Old Aidan. His eyes were saying, "It's you, it's you, it's your responsibility!"
Old Aidan's face twitched, and tears seeped out of the corner of his eyes. He felt wronged. Why did the Blood Bramble Sword have to be lost during the year he had been keeping it?
The [Blood Bramble Sword] was an ancient weapon left behind by the Redbud Army. It actually didn't have much power anymore.
However, since it was something left behind by the Redbud Army, the descendants of the Redbud Army had to treat it as a family heirloom and take good care of it.
Now that this antique had been lost in his hands, this incident would definitely be recorded in the [Redbud Register of Major Matters] and passed down. He would become a negative example for the descendants of the Redbud Army.
He thought of the records in the [Redbud Register of Major Matters]. On a certain month and year, the ancient [Blood Bramble Sword] had been lost in the hands of a descendant of the Redbud Army, Aidan. His life's glory had been tainted.
The descendants of the Redbud Army had to remember to find the [Blood Bramble Sword] and let Old Aidan's soul rest in peace. His descendants would also be rewarded handsomely …
Thinking of this, Old Aidan's entire body bent. He had lived a glorious life. Why did he have to bear this kind of burden when he was old and half-buried?
Looking at Old Aidan's miserable appearance, Man Xi came out to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. Didn't we come with you to help you find the sword?"
"Where to find it? That antique sword doesn't have a tracking device on it. Why did this damned thief steal that antique sword … "
Old Aidan frowned even more. "I admit that I was negligent in looking after it. However, what value does this antique sword have? The energy crystals inside are all gone. They've all rusted. It can't even compare to a one star heart elemental weapon. If you say it's an antique, who still remembers the glory of the Redbud Army? The most valuable antiques nowadays are from the Hundred Year War … "
This was what Old Aidan didn't understand the most. There were many priceless antiques on the island. Most of them were left behind from the Hundred Year War.
That was the glorious era of the continent. The value of each antique was astonishing and could easily be sold for sky-high prices on the black market.
As for the era of the Redbud Army, it was too distant. It couldn't be verified in the history books. That [Blood Bramble Sword] was even more corroded.
Because of this, Old Aidan usually took out the [Blood Bramble Sword] and carefully maintained it. He also locked it up so that he didn't think it would be stolen.
After all, a thief who could sneak onto the island had to be a great thief with extraordinary eyesight. Who would be interested in a useless sword?
However, the [Blood Bramble Sword] was gone, and the only thing that was stolen was this useless sword!
Seeing that Old Aidan was really about to cry, Hai Wuya didn't say anything else. He furrowed his brows in deep thought. "To be able to sneak onto the island without a sound and steal something from under our noses, and only steal a useless [Blood Bramble Sword], it's really strange! Could it be that the [Blood Bramble Sword] has some other use? "
Old Aidan and Norman shook their heads. They were descendants of the Redbud Army. How could they not know the history of the Redbud Army?
This [Blood Bramble Sword] had long been damaged when the Redbud Army was destroyed. The only value it had now was probably the sword of the logistics chief, Gaanalyn.
However, the reputation of the former army commander had already been buried in the river of history.
Who would remember Gaanalyn?
Even in the most glorious era of the Redbud Army, Gaanalyn's title to the public was just the logistics chief.
The army was famous for fighting, and the logistics chief was naturally not well known.
The three old men furrowed their brows in deep thought. Just as they were feeling puzzled, their bodies suddenly trembled, and their hair stood on end. They felt a strange aura appear and then disappear in a flash.
"What's going on?!"
"This aura seems to be sword energy …"
"This is the aura of the [Blood Bramble Sword]!"
The three of them were shocked. Of course, they had never seen the power of this sword before, but they had seen it in the [Redbud Great Notebook].
When the power of the [Blood Bramble Sword] was released, it was like a terrifying plant like the blood bramble. While it surged with blood, it was also as silent as ice.
It was an aura that made people shiver!
Gaanalyn had once used this sword to kill half of the Oceanic Beast Army's elites. She didn't care about fame, and she gave this credit to the commander of the Redbud Army.
Just now, Old Aidan and the others felt their blood flow suddenly increase. This was a sign that only appeared when the [Blood Bramble Sword] was used.
The three of them quickly turned around and saw that the faces of the people around them were strangely flushed, as if they were about to spit out blood. Then, they quickly disappeared.
"It's really the [Blood Bramble Sword]?!"
"This sword has been repaired?"
"That's impossible. How can it be repaired so quickly? Or rather, we haven't sensed how this sword was used."
Old Aidan and the others looked at each other in shock. Their figures flashed and disappeared into the crowd, heading in the direction of the aura.
Seven hours later.
The Lava Islands. This was an archipelago on the White Nightmare Sea. Half of the islands were in the Red Light Federation's territorial waters, while the other half was in the international waters.
The ownership of this archipelago had always been a problem left over from history.
The islands on the international waters were once the base to resist the Oceanic Beast Army. After the war stopped, the issue of ownership was fiercely fought among the various countries.
Originally, according to its geographical location, this archipelago should belong to the Red Light Federation.
After all, half of the islands were in the Red Light Federation's territorial waters, while the other half were in the international waters. There was no need to argue about the ownership.
However, the Red Light Federation's national strength had always been weak, and it didn't have a long history …
Hence, under various circumstances, half of the islands on the international waters were still ownerless.
To be precise, all the countries had stationed troops on the islands in the name of preventing the invasion of the Oceanic Beast Army. However, everyone knew the real reason.
The cities on the Lava Islands were very simple. The streets were wide but uneven, and the buildings were all square shaped, mainly sturdy.
The streets and alleys were filled with fully armed people, and there were metal-smelting workshops everywhere.
There were volcanoes here, and most of them were dormant. There weren't many rare minerals, but they were rich in mineral resources.
In an abandoned fortification, a thick layer of dust covered the ground. Corpses were strewn all over the place.
The wounds on these people were very neat, and they were all the thickness of a finger. Moreover, they were all fatal wounds!
Captain Hai Long leaned against a corner, holding a medicine and applying it on his body while waving his hand. Streams of energy shot out and pierced through the bodies of the figures.
Thump thump thump …
Experts fell one after another, but there were sounds of breaking air and footsteps coming from time to time.
"There's still no end to this …"
Captain Hai Long gritted her teeth. She pulled out the last bottle of emergency medicine and poured it on her open wounds. The blood spurting out of her body was colorful, and it was unknown how many poisons she had been poisoned.
These poisons were all highly toxic. Ordinary poisons had no effect on her at all.
After all, the physical strength of the Dragon race was at the top of the major races. Ordinary poisons might not even have any effect on the Dragon race.
There were more than 20 kinds of poisons in her body, and even a level-six expert would find it hard to endure them. Yet, she had escaped from the Dragon race's territory with such a body and killed thousands of experts along the way.
If such a battle record were to spread, it would immediately shake the Great Eastern Continent …
"Two more hours … I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer …"
Captain Hai Long looked at the time. Her disfigured face was a little gloomy. The agreement with that man was 10 hours, and she couldn't hold on much longer.
She didn't have much hope for Bnehamin's rescue. However, living beings were like this. In desperate times, they would always have a glimmer of hope.
What if Bnehamin really came to rescue after 10 hours …
If she could escape this time, she still wanted to kick that old dog Lu Lie's balls until they burst!
That old dog dragon still wanted to capture her alive and kidnap her to bed. Was that old guy worthy?!
Thinking of this, Captain Hai Long's dragon eyes flashed. Her originally weak aura suddenly became strong again.
In the distance, several level-five experts stopped in their tracks and looked at each other in shock. After fighting for two days and two nights without rest, this female tyrannosaurus still had strength left. She was really a monster!
