On the east side of the town center.
Noxus was holding a bloody claw hook in his hand. More than a dozen people were lying on the ground miserably. One or two of their cheeks were disfigured by the hook, while the other had their ribs and throats pierced. Blood was splattered all over the ground, and they all looked like they were barely breathing.
"Tell me, where did the other people who set the fire go?"
The hook pierced through the shoulder blade, and the limp body was lifted up with one hand. Noxus' face was covered in blood as he stared at the leader of the merchants condescendingly. He looked like a bloodthirsty demon, making one shudder in fear.
"At …" The merchant was scared out of his wits as he stammered out a few locations.
"You're lying to me. I just came from those places, and I didn't see anyone." Noxus' eyes were cold. He exerted a little force in his hand, and the merchant howled miserably and said in a panic, "I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth, let me go …"
He's telling the truth! Damn it, what's the problem? " Noxus thought to himself as he looked at the merchant's terrified expression. The claw pierced through the man's shoulder blade without hesitation. With a cracking sound, the claw broke the man's carotid artery, and even the flesh and bones on the shoulder blade were torn apart.
Blood sprayed all over his face. He licked his lips and killed the rest of the people.
A few minutes later.
Noxus stared at the shriveled corpse on the ground. The corpse was as soft as a piece of cloth, as if all the bones and organs in the body had turned into powder and were supported by a piece of skin.
"What happened here?" Noxus' expression was grave. He had seen many dead people, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange way of dying.
Boom!
Under the ink-stained night sky, a rumbling explosion tore through the sky. It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. Glaring flames dyed the sky red.
"The quarry!"
Noxus looked in the direction of the back of the mountain. Half of the sky was suddenly illuminated. His pupils constricted rapidly. Almost at the same time, in the corner of the town behind him, the fire serpent that was quietly spreading out suddenly raised its head and let out a sizzling sound as it burned. Red flames swept over, revealing a monstrous ferocity.
Half of the entire quarry town exploded with thunder and lightning, while the other half was a sea of fire.
Noxus's face flickered as he froze on the spot. Then, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, turned around, and ran toward the quarry at the back of the mountain.
Let's move the timeline forward by 5 minutes.
In the quarry at the back of the mountain, there was a mine that was neither too deep nor too shallow. The entrance of the mine was fixed by a wooden bracket that extended all the way into the mine.
A man dressed like a miner, about 50 years old, was looking out of the mine entrance sneakily. Then, he saw Lang Shi and the others coming up from the foot of the mountain.
He tightened his old coat, and in the pocket of his coat, there was a half-empty bottle of wine. He bent over and clumsily walked towards the opposite side.
Lang Shi frowned and asked, "Are you an informant in the quarry?" "You're the informant in the quarry?" "You're the one who's been working in the quarry?"
"Yes, Lombardi asked me to wait for you here." The spy opened his mouth with yellow teeth and said, "There's a lot of explosives. Because it's not easy to move them, we hid them separately. Some of them are hidden in the mine in front. You guys take some people and come with me to move them out."
"How many are hidden?" Lang Shi raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Tunas.
Tunas narrowed his eyes and sized up the spy. His dirty clothes and hair looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time. The smell of low-quality alcohol mixed with water was pungent. His cheeks were full of wrinkles and yellow teeth. Tunas frowned slightly. "You've been working in this quarry for a long time, right?"
The spy raised his head and looked at Tunas with bloodshot eyes that seemed to have not rested for a long time. Then, he said, "I've always been in this town. When the quarry was built, my youngest son and I started working there."
"Why did you choose to be a spy? Are you dissatisfied with the quarry? "Tunas asked in a low voice.
"Ah …" The spy rubbed his red eyes and sighed. "What can I do? My youngest son looks forward to going out to sea every day."
"So that's how it is." Tunas' brows relaxed and he nodded at Lang Shi.
"Let's go. My youngest son is still waiting inside." The spy urged and was the first to walk into the mine. The mine was deep, and a dull and turbid aura whistled at the entrance of the mine. It was as if there were ghosts crying, and it was frightening to hear in the middle of the night.
"The explosives are heavy. Come in and help." An urgent echo came from inside.
Tunas looked at the dark mine and felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. However, these hidden explosives were a hidden danger. They had to be dealt with tonight, and as soon as possible.
"Go in and move them!"
"Yes!"
Everyone obeyed the order. Lang Shi walked at the front, followed by the Tiago caravan's guards who lined up in a row. The mine was very dim, and the light bulbs hanging on both sides looked like they had been there for a long time, flickering on and off.
Tunas and the rest of his trusted guards stood at the entrance of the mine and waited. He looked into the mine and felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.
In the depths of the mine, there was a sealed dead end. The spy stopped and slowly turned around. He took out a match and lit it in his hand.
Tools such as hoes and shovels were placed around his feet. There were also some rags, quilts, and other clothes. Black debris and powder were exposed under the cotton, and a frightening smell filled the air.
Lang Shi and the others' hearts skipped a beat and they quickly stopped.
"Quickly put out the fire. Are you crazy?"
"Crazy … Hahaha. Yes, I've been crazy for a long time."
The spy stared at Lang Shi and the others with red eyes. The madness and deep hatred in his eyes made them shudder.
"You are not the spy. You lied to us. It's Lombardi. What does he want to do? Put out the match. What benefits did he give you? You don't even want your life." Lang Shi's mind was spinning fast. He said in a panic, "Calm down. Put out the match first. Once it explodes, you will be the first one to die."
"Lombardi, that young merchant, I know. He is not a good person. He just wants to use me to get rid of you. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I don't want to live anymore." The spy opened the wine bottle with one hand and poured the wine into his mouth. Then he smashed the bottle on the ground. "My silly little son wants to go to sea. But he doesn't know that you Tiago don't allow the people in our town to go to sea. Those who go to sea are killed by the pirates you bribed. You are a group of animals. He is just a child who doesn't know anything."
Lang Shi looked at the deranged spy. The other party was screaming at the top of his lungs. His heart was in his throat and his lips were dry. The two guards beside him suddenly rushed out and pounced on the spy.
"… Go to sea. Dad is coming to accompany you." Blood-red tears flowed from the corners of the spy's eyes. He looked ahead with blurred eyes, as if he could already see his youngest son waving at him from the sea. He reached out his hand and grabbed the air. The match fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
"Catch it!"
Lang Shi screamed. The scorching heat wave poured into his body. It expanded and exploded. Not even his bones were left!
