Chapter 546

Instantly, the horse broke its own neck, and blood splattered everywhere.

The huge horse carcass blocked the intersection.

The people, who were eager to watch the scene, watched the scene curiously and waited anxiously for someone to clear the road.

But for some reason, the guards, who usually acted quickly under the spur of the new governor of the lower city, were nowhere to be seen for a long time this time.

Just when everyone's attention was on the horse that died strangely, no one noticed that the carriage that the horse had pulled was sliding silently into the depths of the street without any horse pulling it.

Deep.

Even more quiet.

There was no one on the street during the day.

It was as if an invisible force had driven away the pedestrians who were originally here.

Only silence remained.

The carriage finally stopped.

"Who is it?"

In front of it, the guard who was nervously blocking the front door of the bar noticed the silent carriage and immediately shouted and came to investigate.

The three of them were a group, well-trained, and had weapons of good quality in their hands, which was obviously different from the gangsters who usually roamed in the lower city.

Facing the strange carriage, they did not dare to relax and moved forward vigilantly all the way, so that no matter what kind of accidents and surprises they faced, they would have room to deal with them.

Finally, they walked to the front of the carriage.

The three looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and carefully lifted the curtain of the carriage with the long knife in his hand.

Then...

They saw the dark and deep, and flashing with a sharp cold light...

The muzzle of the new military magic cannon in the carriage.

84. People who have always existed

Facing the cold and black muzzle, the person in charge of the investigation turned pale.

They were elite thugs specially trained by Wood, well-trained. Wood spent a lot of energy and money on them to ensure that they could deal with any sudden situation with professional training.

They were also the core force of this betrayal.

But... even if it's core strength, how to deal with the muzzle of the gun in the face seems to be obviously not within the scope of previous training.

The man only had time to turn around and shout to the two people behind him:

"Go, go and notify..."

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Because the next moment, the desperate wailing was covered by the roar of the gun.

The dazzling beam of light penetrated the building, and countless debris and debris flew, as if the light of destruction descended on the world.

However, this horrific scene did not attract the attention of any outsiders.

The flashing arc spread, and the invisible air also began to distort.

All sounds and shapes were completely blocked in this deserted street.

...

"What's wrong?"

Back door.

Several of Wood's men guarding the gate frowned slightly and looked towards the front door.

"There seems to be some movement at the front door?"

"No accidents, right?"

"It shouldn't be. There are three teams guarding there, and even Lord Elder is there. With this noble magician, it's safe."

"To be safe, let's ask."

The leader-like man said cautiously.

The subordinate nodded, took out the sound transmission stone, and was about to dial...

"Okay... please be kind."

The beggar who came from nowhere walked into the remote alley where the back door was located, trembling, and pulled the corner of the leader's clothes to show him his skinny chest under his tattered clothes. The beggar trembled with his lips, and his turbid old eyes were full of pleading:

"I haven't eaten for several days, please give me something to eat..."

"Tsk, where did you come from, beggar, get out..."

The leader stretched out his hand, trying to drive the beggar away.

But before the hand fell, he suddenly froze in place.

"Boss?"

Behind him, the subordinate who was still anxiously staring at the sound transmission stone was the first to notice the leader's abnormality. He reached out and pushed.

Plop.

The tall leader fell to the ground, and blood flowed from his chest, staining the ground red.

His eyes were as big as copper bells, full of fear and disbelief.

"What?"

The subordinate was startled, and when he turned his head suddenly, he found that the beggar had disappeared.

"Alas, young people nowadays really have no kindness at all."

The subordinate lowered his head dully.

In his abdomen, he felt a sharp object piercing through him, and the severe pain almost tore his nerves.

And the blood had also begun to spread, staining his clothes red.

...

...

Wood finally found something wrong.

Based on his understanding of the Rat King, his calm appearance at this moment was not at all pretending to be calm.

In other words...

Boom.

Wood felt the ground under his feet suddenly shake.

Although no sound was heard, his face suddenly changed.

"What happened?"

Wood asked his subordinates,

"Go and see what happened?"

"Yes... yes!"

The waiter just moved quickly and went downstairs quickly.

But before Wood even got any response, he heard a scream.

It was the waiter's scream.

His voice was shrill and rapid, and it stopped abruptly after just a beginning, turning into a low and short gurgle.

It was as if his throat was cut through just after a face-to-face encounter with the enemy.

"Wha...what?"

Wood's expression changed again.

Judging from the volume of the sound, he judged that the waiter's accident location seemed to be about two floors below the five-story building.

There is still some distance to go.

But, it is already a very scary thing.

Because it was not only to surround and kill the Rat King, but also to prevent him from secretly hiding his men outside, he sent his most elite and most trustworthy subordinates to block all the entrances and exits of this building.

Even inside the building, there are many traps. The magician who assisted the old ghost is also guarding the gate. Therefore, let alone the gangs in the Lower City, even the guards need to break through this building. Not a short time.

But why... why...

"No, it's impossible...it can't be so easy..."

Wood trembled and took out the sound transmission stone, but no matter how he dialed, there was still an unanswerable beep from the other side.

Boundless fear suddenly enveloped his heart, and it seemed that in just a few minutes, he had lost half of his manpower.

"Nothing is impossible, Wood. Since I appear here, it means that I am 100% sure."

The Rat King said with pity and sarcasm:

"After hanging out with me for so long, you still don't understand me thoroughly. It's really disappointing. I thought you would be smarter."

"You...you knew this a long time ago?"

Wood suddenly raised his head and stared at the Rat King with hatred:

"Sam, you have known for a long time that I have taken refuge with the old ghost, so you deliberately came here to expose me? You have been waiting for me to take action, right?"

"No, I do not know."

The Rat King lowered his eyelids:

"To be honest, it is actually very difficult to distinguish among you guys who is loyal to me and who is betraying me. After all, I don't know how to read minds. I am as strong as an old ghost. I have also been raped by someone before. When people betray.

But, so what? In fact, I don’t need to distinguish it at all, right?

Rather than spending energy on something that is basically impossible, it would be better..."

The Rat King slowly raised the repeating crossbow in his hand and pointed it at Wood, without any mercy in his eyes:

"Take advantage of this opportunity to thoroughly cleanse away all your stinking tumors that threaten me!"

"no no……"

Wood suddenly fell to his knees.

The tall body bent down so that the Rat King could finally truly look down at him.

The ferocity and greed just now seemed to be just the illusion of the Rat King. Wood lowered his eyebrows and prayed humbly:

"I was wrong, Lord Rat King, I was deceived by the old ghost's words, and I lost my head for a moment."

"Forgive me, please forgive me. As long as you can forgive me, I can do anything. You can even lick your shoes. Yes, you can also lick your shoes!"

Wood moved over on his knees, as if he really wanted to surrender in front of the Rat King, and respectfully licked his dirty leather shoes to show his determination to change his mind and turn from darkness to light.

but……

The Rat King still looked at Wood coldly, and the repeating crossbow in his hand was still steady, aiming at Wood's forehead.

"Wood, why is this necessary? You don't know me, but I... know you very well!"

Without hesitation, the Rat King pulled the trigger.

Almost at the same time, Wood's originally submissive face suddenly turned angry and ferocious.

In the hand he was hiding behind his back, the dazzling light of the knife flashed past, and it grazed towards the Rat King's vitals without hesitation.

This was a sneak attack without any warning.

Unfortunately, the other party had already expected this.

Ding.

The personal magic armor hidden under his clothes once again glowed with blue light, barely able to withstand the attack. Wood also dodged the arrow fired by the Rat King at the critical moment, and the sharp arrow tip scratched his cheek. .

Wood stared at the Rat King, completely ignoring the blood flowing on his cheek, breathing heavily, like a beast that was driven to the end.
