Moving forward, a dark river gradually appeared in front of Garen. There was something moving up and down inside the river but it was blurry and he could not make out what it was.
Garen walked to the river.
“This was not here before.”
‘It seems to have some effect.’
“En.”
Garen carefully checked around the river. In addition to his footprints, there were footprints of other people. Obviously, he was not the only one who’d come here.
He leaped effortlessly and landed on the other side of the river. Looking back at the passage behind, strangely, the passage was not there. There was only darkness and nothing else.
The passage on this side of the river was made up of rough stones, which was quite different from the passage that was made up of neatly arranged stones on the other side.
Garen looked down at the ground. Sure enough, two clear lines of footprints continued into the rough stones passage.
He silently followed the footprints while maintaining his alertness towards his surroundings.
********************
Nasira had a pale complexion. After taking some medicine, she staggered onward for more than ten minutes before she managed to shake off the tentacles in pursuit and entered a bright and spacious hall made of black stones.
The walls were made of egg-shaped black stones with a smooth and shiny surface.
There was green moss on the surrounding walls of the stone hall, illuminating the entire hall with green shimmers of light.
Nasira stood in front of an entrance on the wall of the stone hall and looked down. In the dim green light, she could see that the bottom of the hall was full of white bones. She did not know how high a pile the bones made, but the sight in front of her was undeniably a sea of bones. Sometimes, there was some movement among the bones.
Suddenly, Nasira’s expression changed. She moved her body close to the wall and stuck to it as close as possible without moving.
Swish!
A shadow flashed in front of her, drilling into the stone hall made of egg-shaped stones. It was a tentacle as thick as a barrel!
After the tentacle drilled into the egg-shaped stone hall, it opened up like a blooming flower, revealing rows upon rows of sharp teeth, and spat.
Pu.
A rotten corpse in the shape of a human body was spat out into the hall. After some time, the sound of the corpse falling onto the sea of bones echoed.
The tentacle spat out some more things before it retracted rapidly and disappeared into the darkness.
Nasira looked at this scene with glittering eyes.
“This creature is capable of moving freely in this place?” She said with a trace of hope in her heart.
She waited until the tentacle was retracted before moving back to the side of the entrance and cautiously took a look inside.
She saw that the walls of the stone hall were filled with holes like a beehive. Sometimes, tentacles would drill out of these holes and spit things out as though they were vomiting. A large number of things such as corpses were spat out into this egg-like stone hall.
These tentacles acted like sewage pipes. Nasira looked towards a distant hole and saw Manasi.
Most of Manasi’s armor had been melted. He was lying at the edge of the hole, looking very weak. His right arm and right leg were both missing.
Boom!!!
At this moment, Nasira heard a loud roar behind her. Afterward came a sound as though something had collided with great force.
Abruptly, a figure was ejected from a passage on her right. It was a white-haired man, whose body was covered in blood and scars and he was spraying blood when he shot out of the passage. Then, he fell straight down into the sea of bones without any sound.
Nasira narrowed her eyes. Then, she saw three suspicious masked men rushing out from that same passage. They shot out a hook from each of their bodies on to the stone wall across them, deftly evaded the tentacle behind and swung down to the bottom.
The three of them quickly reached the bottom of the stone hall and stowed their hook. After walking around the sea of bones, they entered an inconspicuous small entrance.
Only then Nasira did notice that there was a small door at the bottom. It seemed to be a man-made white stone door. The three people entered the door and disappeared.
She looked at the other side and saw Manasi nodding at her. Both of them planned on following the trio.
“Follow them,” suddenly, AG’s voice came from behind Nasira.
“You finally came!” Nasira said while turning around. She saw AG walking to her slowly with his crutch, looking very calm, though there was a black stain on the hem of his clothes.
“Are you sure? We don’t even know what those people are,” Nasira frowned.
“You’re hurt,” AG did not answer her question and only tossed a small glass bottle of green ointment to her before he headed straight for the stone hall.
Walking to the edge of the hole, his crutch slightly moved and a black gas came out beneath his feet, forming the upper body of a man. The man opened his arms and AG sat on his shoulder to fly down.
Nasira gritted her teeth and immediately jumped over. She landed on the man together with AG.
AG took a look at her. There was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
“We’ll go down and follow them first. If I’m not wrong, those three should be hunters that entered from another place for that thing.”
“Hunter?”
“That’s right. Anil’s Garden has the Scavenger, Gatekeeper and Gardener, these three horrifying existences, but since it is a garden, naturally it would have extremely rare and precious flowers and plants. If I’m not mistaken… There is an extinct plant here that I need…” AG was in a good mood.
“It helps… in that thing of yours?” Nasira asked while standing on the black gas man’s arms and looking down at the sea of bones. The closer she looked, the more shocking it was.
“If I got it in my hands…” AG said while licking his lips.
On the other side, Manasi followed them by sliding down on the stone walls. He fell down with a loud thump while scattering bone powder everywhere.
The three of them landed outside the small door at the bottom and grouped up. Apart from AG who looked normal, the other two looked extremely unkempt.
Standing in front of the white stone door.
“Do we wait for Garen?” Nasira asked.
“Wait for ten minutes, if he does not come, we’ll go in first,” AG said decisively.
******************
Xander crouched down in the middle of the camp and gently wiped the grass on the ground and smelt it.
“At least thirty people stayed here for a few hours,” he reported in a low voice. The moonlight glowed on his face and his pale face shone.
Surrounding him were more than ten elites from Nighthawk and the Combat Club.
When a few great forces integrated into the Holy Fist Palace, a whole new powerful force began to form.
A subordinate stood out and said.
“Our main force went to the Wellington Manor, I think we prioritize protecting the goods.”
“You’re right Keith,” Xander was someone who liked to listen to other people’s opinions. He stood up and scanned the people around him. “A lot of people are spying around for the secret behind our Combat Club’s Secret Techniques. Now that the President is away, this is the best time for them to act. We have to be even more vigilant.”
He waved his hand.
“Let’s go back to our trucks!”
The group evacuated the forest camp quickly and disappeared into the night.
************
The trucks drove along the road in the middle of the night like a yellow snake. This place was close to the airport where cargos were transported. Occasionally, there were street lamps that were malfunctioned but their trucks’ lights illuminated the whole place.
There was wilderness on both sides. Sometimes, tall square billboards were set up, but the rest were either hills or sparse woods.
The sound of the engines was endless and a few guards were seen on top of the vehicles.
“Damn, tonight is such a weird night. Hente and Patiya were knocked unconscious and couldn’t even see who knocked them out. I thought the goods were lost but nothing happened? Weird!”
On a truck at the end of the line, a masculine Nighthawk complained while smoking.
“People will get neurotic when dealing with these bizarre opponents all day long,” tanned woman with a black butterfly tattoo on her right arm muttered while driving with a cigarette in her mouth.
“How much you want to get is determined by how much sacrifices you are prepared to make,” the woman talked like an old-timer despite her age being only twenty-something.
“True, didn’t we chose to join the Nighthawks in order to acquire the legendary secret techniques? During the selection, so many people fought to join in. Good welfare, good treatment and it was also a large organization where we can learn the most powerful combat secret techniques. Making an effort in any organization is still making effort, but the conditions here were too good,” the masculine guy sighed, took out the cigarette in his mouth and puffed out a circle of smoke.
In fact, both of them understood that the Nighthawk Combat Club did not give out big tasks easily, and once the big tasks came, they were definitely the troublesome kind. However, to have kept them for so long, was it not their turn to repay their kindness?
Boom!!
Suddenly, a bright red light appeared at the front of the line, accompanied by a great shockwave.
One by one, the trucks made an emergency stop. The people in the trucks came out with their guns. Some looked over at the flames to the front and some people were paying attention to both sides while wearing night vision goggles.
One by one, several teams of masked people in black outfits took advantage of the night to sneak in from all sides for an attack.
Once both sides made contact, they started firing their weaponry at each other.
Xander jumped down from the car with a glint in his eyes. Except for him, the whole team was composed of only ordinary Nighthawk members who have acquired a small portion of secret techniques.
He put on a pair of special glasses and green dots and red dots surrounding the trucks were immediately revealed. The green dots were allies and the red dots were the enemies attacking them.
The green dots were decreasing non-stop. Although the red dots were also decreasing at the same time, their numbers were far greater than the green dots.
