The tracks left behind by the carriages were clearly visible in the snow. Han Jin's group followed the main road for more than ten miles without finding any other pedestrians. However, they found two more tracks that led to the forest.
Han Jin stopped at the fork in the road, feeling hesitant. Edwina's eyes were very sharp. She suddenly noticed something on the trunk of a tree in front of them. She rushed up, and when she saw it clearly, she turned around and shouted in surprise and joy, "It's this way!"
Han Jin rushed to Edwina's side in a few steps and saw a pattern drawn on the trunk. The pattern was made up of six weapons: a dagger, two longbows, two swords, and a magic staff.
"This is our team emblem!" Edwina pointed forward. "Gibran and my sister must have gone this way!"
"Go!" Han Jin yelled.
The three of them entered the forest and continued to follow the tracks. However, when they had completely disappeared, a carriage came from the direction of Isolated Cliff City. A woman wearing a white leather skirt appeared in the snow. It was Jocelyn. The carriage continued to move forward, but Jocelyn walked into the forest. She held a handful of white powder in her hand and sprinkled it with every step she took. The tracks and the footprints left by Han Jin's group gradually disappeared. Finally, she walked to the tree, took out her dagger, and cut off the pattern on the trunk.
Han Jin's group became more and more nervous. They were chasing in the right direction, because every few miles, they would find Gibran's mark on the trunk next to the tracks.
They didn't know how far they had chased, but the tracks in front of them turned into a deep valley. Han Jin looked up at the valley, his eyes flashing. He suddenly said, "It should be about time. Edwina, stay behind and try to stay as far away from us as possible."
"Okay." Edwina nodded.
"Hayden, follow me!" Han Jin's body moved, and he shot towards the valley like an arrow.
Hayden hurriedly followed behind Han Jin. Edwina, on the other hand, paused for a moment before turning around and rushing to the side of the hill.
Rushing into the valley, there was a corner about thirty meters ahead. When Han Jin rushed past the corner, he saw two women about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old standing there quietly, looking at him.
Han Jin's figure came to a sudden stop, and Hayden's sword, which he had been accumulating power for a long time, finally stabbed out. His sword was extremely fierce, and with the help of his forward speed, there was only a flash of cold light as the tip of his sword pierced Han Jin's shoulder. As a ninth-grade professional, Hayden knew which parts of the human body were fatal, but he didn't dare to kill. His mission was only to stab Han Jin.
Just as Hayden attacked, Han Jin suddenly flew back. The two figures crossed each other in a flash, then separated. Han Jin had a small green sword in his hand, and he slashed to the side.
Hayden's sword stabbed empty air, while Han Jin's small sword slashed across Hayden's neck. Hayden stumbled forward a dozen steps until he almost crashed into the two women. Only then did he fall to his knees. His hands covered his neck, and he made a beast-like sound as he looked at the two women with pleading eyes.
From the moment Han Jin showed up, the two women had been sneering at him, but the moment the sword flashed across their faces, the smiles on their faces froze.
The woman on the left didn't seem to have a good temper. She kicked Hayden a few times and said coldly, "You already know he's a spy?!"
"That doesn't seem too difficult." Han Jin shrugged.
"Sister, don't believe him. If he really knew Hayden was a spy, he wouldn't be the one here now. It would be Guevara!" the other woman said with a smile.
"You two are too confident in yourselves. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?" Han Jin's fingertips twirled the small green sword, his face calm and indifferent.
"Then I'm really curious. How did you know?" The woman still maintained her smile.
"This." Han Jin smiled, then let out a long sigh.
The two women looked at each other with a solemn expression. They had already realized where the flaw was. It was winter now, and the forest had become a world of ice and snow. The breath that Han Jin exhaled had turned into a thick mist, while the breath that the two women exhaled was very light. Humans were warm-blooded animals, while vampires were cold-blooded like snakes. This was a characteristic that couldn't be hidden.
"That's why you think he's a spy?"
"At least he's changed. He's definitely not the same Hayden as before," Han Jin said calmly. "I'm not stupid. I should've been more vigilant, right?"
"When did you find out?" the woman asked again.
"Are you here to kill me, or to chat with me?" Han Jin changed the topic with a smile. Some things could be talked about, and some things couldn't. They were obviously trying to figure out when reinforcements would arrive. It seemed like they were very afraid of Guevara.
The woman called "sister" sneered, "Then why did you chase after us?!"
"Trouble … Of course I have to solve it completely." Han Jin suddenly said, "How much did Manteco pay you?"
"Manteco? We don't know any Manteco! "
"Is it Eva?"
"Neither."
Han Jin was a bit surprised. At this point, they didn't seem to have any reason to lie. However, he still didn't give up. "No matter who it is, I can pay you double, as long as you tell me where the mastermind is."
"Money?" The "sister" suddenly laughed maniacally. Her expression was ferocious as she stared coldly at Han Jin. "Can money buy my son's life?"
"Your son?" Han Jin looked the woman up and down. "There must be some kind of misunderstanding, right?! You came from the Abyss, and I've never been there. " It had been a long time since he was chased by vampires. Han Jin had already forgotten about it. Plus, everyone thought that Eva might have brought people back for revenge, which greatly affected his judgment.
"It's been a year … It's almost been a year …" The woman revealed an extremely ferocious expression. Long fangs protruded from her mouth bit by bit. Then she said word by word, "I've been waiting for this day!"
"Who are you people?" Han Jin frowned.
"It's your honor to die at the hands of Queen Caroline of the Blood Clan!" the other woman said with a smile.
"You … You are …" Han Jin's reaction was very fast. He immediately understood the other party's background. He couldn't help but show fear on his face.
Caroline was very excited. The reason why she didn't let Hayden kill Han Jin and talked so much nonsense with the other party was because she wanted to enjoy Han Jin's expression. Moreover, she wanted Han Jin to die slowly in fear.
However, Han Jin's expression was very fearful, but his actions showed no fear. He flicked his wrist, and a twenty-meter-long sword flashing with green light appeared out of thin air. Wrapped in a dazzling light, it was more dazzling than the sun. It slashed towards Caroline at an indescribable speed.
With a loud bang, a deep trench more than ten meters long appeared on the ground. Sand, gravel, and snow soared into the sky, forming a huge 'V' shape with the tip of the sword as the center. Shockwaves formed by boiling snow and fog rolled out in all directions, rushing up to the hills. The trees within a radius of several hundred meters trembled in unison, and the snow on the treetops fell down one after another.
A figure wrapped in sand shot into the air. With a twist of its body, it landed firmly on the ground. Carolyn had managed to evade this attack by a hair's breadth. However, her face had already turned pale. Betty had retreated several dozen metres in a single breath. Her expression appeared to be even more shocked than Carolyn's, with a faint trace of fear even appearing on her face.
She dodged it?! Han Jin almost couldn't believe his eyes, and his heart sank.
He knew that something was wrong with Hayden, but he still dared to come because he had enough confidence! When he fought against Manteco, he hadn't refined this flying sword yet. With the green light, his combat ability had increased tremendously. No one could block his attack, at least not Eva's helpers. Unfortunately, two accidents happened in a row. His opponent didn't block his attack, and it wasn't Eva's helpers either.
Know thyself and know thy enemy, and thou shalt be victorious. This saying had been repeated many times, but it was true. If Han Jin understood his opponent, if he still insisted on using a large amount of vital energy to use this attack, he definitely wouldn't have attacked Caroline.
Caroline's face twisted. She screamed, and her body turned into a blur as she shot toward Han Jin like a bolt of lightning.
Han Jin's left hand quickly formed a spell, and with a wave of his right hand, the giant sword hovering in the air suddenly disappeared. At the same time, a small green sword appeared in Han Jin's hand. He raised the tip of the sword, and it looked like he was going to fight with the small sword. However, his left hand was the first to swing out. A black curtain of light swept out, and with an ear-piercing sound, it whipped toward Caroline's slender waist with an astonishing momentum.
Caroline screamed again, and her body suddenly leaned back. Han Jin's long whip swept past the tip of Caroline's nose, and she twisted her legs, creating a wall of snow that cut off their vision.
Before Han Jin could react, a fist that didn't look big came out of the wall of snow and heavily hit Han Jin's chest. Han Jin couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
With a muffled groan and a miserable cry, the two people separated. The one who groaned was Han Jin, and the one who screamed was Caroline.
In fact, Han Jin, who had used the Spirit Possession Technique, had the opportunity to dodge that punch, but he didn't because he wanted to risk his life! Fortunately, he didn't give the 'toy' to Yalina. Mixed in with the spurting blood was a small flying sword that emitted a faint red glow. It was extremely difficult to detect. Moreover, the distance between them was too close. Even if Carolyn discovered his killing move, she might not be able to react in time.
Han Jin retreated seven or eight steps and spat out another mouthful of blood, but the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
"Betty, what are you doing?!" Caroline screamed.
"This little guy is very troublesome," Betty said slowly.
Han Jin's face suddenly became very ugly. He thought that Caroline would be seriously injured even if she didn't die. He didn't expect her to still be so energetic. She didn't sound like someone who was injured at all!
Caroline clenched her fists. There was a bloody hole in her chest, but the wound wasn't bleeding and was slowly healing. In fact, with her self-esteem, she wouldn't easily ask for help, not to mention that she hadn't fully exerted her combat power. She was confident that she could defeat her opponent on her own. The problem was that her opponent's fighting style was too crazy. She had never seen such a crazy opponent. From the very beginning of the battle, she went all out and even risked her life. This made her feel absurd because she was the one who took revenge, so she had the right to be crazy.
