Chapter 45: Suspicion and estrangement

Chapter 45 Suspicion and estrangement

"What happened here?!"

Numerous hunters looked at the messy castle hall with shock on their faces.

Everyone saw that Zhou Jing stood on the corpse of the inch-headed man and drew a long knife.

"Jason?!"

Weiss exclaimed.

The rest recognized Zhou Jing, who was covered in blood, and their hearts trembled.

Jason was drinking and chatting with them in the tavern during the day. Why would he start a massacre in the lord's castle at night? It also hurts both people!

What happened in half a day!

Because they couldn't understand the situation, many hunters didn't know what to do. They stopped at the open gate and didn't move.

Zhou Jing staggered and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor in front of everyone's eyes.

His vision was blurred, his jaw was shattered, and the pain was like a torn nerve.

The chest and abdomen were hit hard by the inch-headed man on the verge of death. I don't know how many ribs were broken, and the internal organs were also broken. If it weren't for the talent of [Toughness], he would not be able to stand up.

After being hit by such a heavy blow, the injury was added to the injury, and he was already at the end of his force. Before, he held his breath to maintain the lightning strike, and squeezed the last strength from the cracks of the bones, and then took advantage of the only chance to revive the follower. Kill the inch-headed man.

After he succeeded at this time, Zhou Jing couldn't hold his breath any longer, his strength was fading rapidly, bleeding was everywhere in his body, and he couldn't even lift the knife.

This body is fatally injured, and with the collapsed genes, it can no longer survive...

Life is like a candle in the wind, death is close at hand, and the only remaining life is probably in seconds.

Zhou Jing knew that the time of death was approaching, dragged his broken and heavy body, and moved towards the lord.

Dozens of guards were crowded in front of the stairs. Seeing Zhou Jing staggering approaching, they hurriedly retreated up the steps and crowded in the corridor on the second floor.

Every time Zhou Jing took a step forward, many of the guards hurriedly took two steps back.

After seeing the battle just now, they were all heartbroken, and at this moment there was only fear for Zhou Jing.

Even if he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it seemed that anyone could knock him down, but none of the guards dared to step forward to make up for it and kept shrinking.

At the end of the corridor behind the crowd, Root's face was pale and his teeth were chattering.

He wanted to turn his head and run upstairs, but his legs didn't obey him.

Before , the one-shot man had always had the upper hand, so Root always watched the battle calmly, not at all afraid that Zhou Jing would threaten him.

But he didn't expect the good situation to take a turn for the worse, and his greatest confidence would be killed on the spot!

His entire attention was on Zhou Jing and the inch-toed man. After Ross was easily killed, he didn't pay attention to the corpse lying on the battlefield, he just thought it was a miscellaneous soldier sent to death.

So when Ross came back to life and quietly attacked the short-headed man, Root didn't understand the situation at all, and he also didn't notice how Ross's head grew back. His first reaction was that he was dazzled. The one-inch man was careless and didn't kill Ross. It gave him the strength to get up.

At this moment, no one around can stop Zhou Jing!

Root finally panicked.

Although there are more than 30 guards in front of him to separate himself and Zhou Jing...

Although Zhou Jing only had one breath left...

But as the evil spirit-like Zhou Jing slowly approached, Root still felt suffocating fear!

He seemed to be able to see the scene where Zhou Jing passed through the crowd and nailed himself to the wall with a knife!

To say how I feel now...

Regret, quite regret!

The seven different-blooded guards died, and even the inch-headed man hated it!

Who knew this guy could fight so well? !

"Save...Save..."

Root stammered and suddenly saw the many hunters gathered downstairs, his eyes suddenly lit up, and hope ignited, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

He shouted loudly towards the many hunters who were stunned:

"Hunters, stop him! He wants to kill me!"

The voice fell, and several hunters subconsciously took a step, and they were about to rush to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.

But the next moment, Weiss suddenly raised his hand and stopped a few people.

Several people turned their heads, their voices surprised.

"What's the matter, don't you stop Jason?"

"He's going to attack the lord, we can't just watch, right?"

Weiss didn't respond immediately, he looked at Zhou Jing who was dying, his face twitched.

With his eyes, he could also see that Zhou Jing's injury was imminent.

After all, he was a comrade who had taught for three months and fought side by side. Seeing Zhou Jing's tragic appearance, Weiss was shocked and angry.

The traces of this **** battle for the rest of my life cannot be faked.

He wanted to know what happened to Zhou Jing in the half-day after saying goodbye to him.

Since Jason killed the lord's castle, there must be a reason, it must have something to do with the lord!

"I don't know what's going on, don't do it." Weiss said solemnly.

Someone hesitated and said: "How can you not do it, after all, it is the lord, you can't watch Jason kill him, right?"

Hearing this, many hunters looked at each other in dismay.

They didn't know why Zhou Jing fought with the lord's people, but something must have happened.

Kelut is the lord, and everyone doesn't know what to do.

Logically speaking, they should protect the lord, but they should stand in the position of the hunter, and they should protect their own people.

It is impossible to help Jason kill the city lord without knowing it.

After all, it has never appeared before, and there is a precedent for an alien hunter to kill the city lord!

Seeing that many hunters hesitated and did not intervene, Root was in a hurry and hurriedly called out:

"I don't know what's going on at all. He killed my bodyguard inexplicably and suddenly rushed into the castle to kill me. I don't even know what's going on! If you have any questions, stop him before asking!"

Hearing the words, the hunters felt reasonable and no longer hesitated, and rushed to the second floor to stop Zhou Jing.

The rest of the hunters had to follow.

One of the hunters rushed to Zhou Jing's side a few steps and immediately held Zhou Jing's shoulder.

"Stop first, what's going on?"

Zhou Jing stopped and turned to look at him.

This hunter's heart suddenly burst, and for some reason, he let go of his hand subconsciously.

Zhou Jing ignored him, his eyes passed the dozens of trembling guards, his eyes became more and more blurred, and he looked at Root, who looked nervous behind.

The body has no strength to move forward.

This is the last blow...

He raised the knife with difficulty and threw it with his hand, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

咻…

The blade spins and flies through the crowd.

But halfway through, he lost his strength and fell from the air.

tinkle.

The blood-stained long sword fell in front of Root.

Plop!

Root slumped on the ground, looking at the long knife on the ground in horror, trembling all over.

At the same time, Zhou Jing's body also fell down and fell to the ground with a thud.

Numerous hunters were taken aback.

Weiss squatted down in a hurry, supported Zhou Jing, took a breath, and said in a painful tone, "Dead."

Hearing the words, the faces of many hunters changed, and they didn't know what to say.

Feeling sadness and anger over the death of a fellow hunter, but also unstoppable confusion.

"He... he died?"

Root heard from a distance, and a dangling heart suddenly dropped.

The mood was up and down, and the whole person almost collapsed.

The underwear was wet, and unknowingly broke out in a cold sweat.

Root lingered in fear.

Fortunately, the inch-toed man and the hunter fought a deadly battle and basically both perished. If this man still had fighting strength, it seemed that he would not stop until he was killed today.

Seeing Jason's death, Root's regret suddenly faded a lot, turning into happiness and fear.

It seems that his fate is not dead, but luck still favors him...

Escaped!

At this moment, Webb suddenly strode closer, pushed away all the guards, and stood in front of Root.

"What exactly happened?"

Weber's tone was solemn.

Numerous hunters followed silently, passed through the guards who dared not move, and surrounded Root.

Root took a breath and swallowed.

Because of Zhou Jing, these hunters who usually trusted him suddenly felt dangerous and brought a strong sense of oppression.

He suddenly realized that the trouble was far from over.

If Zhou Jing was caught behind closed doors and solved quietly, then this matter would be much easier to handle, but now that many hunters have witnessed it, it is not good.

However, when Jason died, no one knew that Maggi accepted his order to intercept him, and it seemed that there was still a chance to get rid of the relationship...

Root quickly suppressed his inner tension and stood up forcibly, pretending to be puzzled:

"I don't know. Jason suddenly came to the door and took the heads of several of my different blood guards. He said he wanted me to give an explanation, but I didn't know what happened. I saw that he killed my guards, so I planned to Let's catch him first, I didn't expect it to develop like this..."

"Magogee?" Webb frowned.

"I'm not too sure. It seems that Magogee and Jason had some conflict. Maybe he didn't hide it from me and did something in private, so Jason came to me... I'll investigate."

Root barely maintained his composure, his words were mixed, and he just wanted to stabilize the many hunters.

Even if he wanted to throw dirty water on Zhou Jing, he wouldn't dare to do it now.

Everyone was silent and dubious.

In the past, they were quite happy to cooperate with the lord, and everyone had a foundation of trust.

But Zhou Jing's determination to kill the lord today shakes everyone's mind.

Although I don't know what happened, Zhou Jing is one of them. There must be a reason for doing this, and the lord must have done something.

And despite all the reasons, Jason died at the hands of the lord... The lord killed a hunter of alien beasts, and everyone couldn't think that it didn't happen.

Jason is the most talented person among them. Everyone thinks that he has a promising future and has the opportunity to become a legendary alien hunter.

But he didn't expect such a genius to die like this, not on the battlefield fighting against alien beasts, but in the lord's castle.

What a pity!

Looking at the silent hunters, Root became more and more nervous and did not dare to show any sign of guilty conscience.

After a long time, Weber spoke slowly:

"We are waiting for you to explain this matter, if it doesn't satisfy us..."

Needless to say the rest of the words, the meaning is already obvious.

Root didn't dare to say anything, he could only make promises, and he didn't dare to assume the attitude of a lord like before.

After Weber finished speaking, he turned around and left, returned to Jason, and picked up Jason's body by the waist.

The hunters followed and huddled around.

Seeing this, Root couldn't help but ask:

"Where are you going to take him?"

"Nothing to do with you."

Weiss coldly dropped a word.

They couldn't just sit and watch the corpse of a fellow hunter and just hang it here.

They only have one idea now, that is to bring Jason back to Frostwood Village.

The hunters took Jason's body and walked away.

Root opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything to discourage him.

He could guess that everyone would probably take this corpse to Frostwood Village.

However, there is also a Baron in Frostwood Village who is half-informed. If the hunters join him and synthesize the information, they will learn about the corruption of the medicine, and thus become more suspicious of Jason's experience. Then doubt yourself.

Kroot has no way to stop it.

The power that he could use was almost cut off by Zhou Jing alone, and now he can't do anything about Balon.

The people from the tribe are too far away to mobilize so quickly...and he doesn't dare to fight against so many hunters.

If Balon dies again, these hunters will probably understand the situation very quickly, and they will definitely settle accounts with him... Root no longer dares to act rashly.

The goatee must be hidden or directly silenced, and Baron must not be allowed to see this person in the city...

Root's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he could only try his best to find a way to remedy it.

He has been trying his best to have a good relationship with most hunters, but now the changes brought about by Zhou Jing have caused the hunters to alienate him, almost all previous efforts have been abandoned, and many hidden dangers have been buried.

However, although the subsequent situation was bad, he was still relieved.

'In any case, it's not me who died, at least I'm still alive. ’

Root covered his heart, his heart pounding, full of happiness for the rest of his life.

On the other side, many town residents were also attracted by the sound, and despite the curfew, they came to the lord's longhouse one after another, looking at the mess here in amazement.

Many residents whispered, making noise and commotion.

In the crowd of onlookers, an inconspicuous man saw the body of the inch-headed man on the ground, his pupils shrank immediately, he immediately slipped out of the crowd, and left quietly.

…

After the death of Jason Wood, the astral apostle, Zhou Jing's consciousness returned directly.

Through the streamer tunnel, Zhou Jing quickly returned to the shuttle preparation space.

As soon as came back, he received the panel information that was brushed out like a waterfall:
