In the early morning, the sun spread across the earth, the sky was blue, and a gust of wind blew across the Wolf Plain, bringing up a slight red dust. Some people say that the soil on the Wolf Plain was stained red by the blood of border soldiers and monsters. This is impossible to verify, but one thing is certain, the Wolf Plain is indeed a piece of red soil, and plants are rare in the entire plain, but strangely, this huge plain has no desertification.

The western gate of the Cologne Fortress is opened for four hours every morning, which is to facilitate the demon hunters of the Holy Spirit Empire to enter the war zone. Although the number of demon hunters cannot be compared with the regular army, the energy it bursts out cannot be ignored. To put it bluntly, it is much stronger than those soldiers who can only rely on the city's strong weapons.

At this moment, it was eight o'clock in the morning, and the huge suspension bridge of the Cologne Fortress was slowly lowered. The moat filled by the corpse of the monster a few days ago was sparkling, and the river water was clear. After the suspension bridge was lowered and the gate opened, a team of soldiers wearing heavy armor and carrying a shiny spear slowly walked out in neat steps. Every day after the city gate opened, there would be such a team of soldiers responsible for alerting and maintaining order. Of course, the main purpose was to shock the demon hunters.

On this continent, demon hunters are a very special profession, with dragons and snakes mixed together, including both the strong men of the times and some gangsters who are mixed with the market. Therefore, there are often cases of demon hunters fighting each other in the wild. To put it bluntly, it is just the word "interest".

At this moment, a group of six boys and girls in combos and strong suits appeared on the suspension bridge. Their appearance did not attract the attention of others. These demon hunters are no longer surprised by the students of various academies who have been traveling here in the past few days. Although these seemingly small children are much younger than them, their strength from the school's systematic education is not comparable to those of their wild ways.

At first, there were some demon hunters who tried to take advantage of the young girls among the students. After being repaired several times, these originally very active guys became honest. Those who could survive in this industry still had some vision. Not many people would be angry even though they knew they would not be able to do it.

The six people slowly walked across the suspension bridge. As soon as they crossed the suspension bridge, the demon hunters dispersed in groups, looking for their own mission goals. This process was destined to be unsatisfactory, so the experienced demon hunters glanced around from time to time and observed everything around them. Any suspicious things would make them extremely alert.

"Boss, where should we start our mission this time?" As soon as we left the city, Anton couldn't help but ask immediately.

Jing Chen casually unfolded the map purchased from the commercial street. Looking closely, the map was made quite exquisitely. Many places not only painted special geographical locations, but also briefly marked some content next to it, which saved Jing Chen and the others a lot of effort to find the location of the mission target.

After a while, just as Anton was about to speak again, Jing Chen pointed to a valley near the Warcraft Mountains and said, "According to the activity range of the Red Wolf King provided by the guild, this should be the most likely hiding place for the Wolf King." As Jing Chen spread the map on the ground, Yue Yanran and others came over to look at the direction Jing Chen pointed.

"Why is it here? According to the scope given by the guild, isn't this place a bit too biased?" Ling Su looked at the place Jing Chen pointed at and couldn't help but wonder.

Jing Chen shook his head and explained, "Before I came, I went to the bar of the Free Demon Hunter Guild. According to some experienced demon hunters, the Red Wolf King is not fond of wind, and there are not many places to shelter the wind on the Wolf Plain. According to the range of activities provided by the guild, the last possible valley is possible."

Fording, who was standing beside him, answered, "I agree with Boss Jing's analysis. When I was in the academy, I once saw the information about the Red Demon Wolf. As mentioned above, this kind of wolf likes to rest in leeward valleys, caves and other places. There is only this small hill in this area, so it should be hidden here."

Ling Su also nodded. After Jing Chen and Fording said this, there is really nothing in this area that is more suitable for the Red Wolf King to hide in than that valley.

Seeing that several people agreed with their opinions, Jing Chen waved his hand and ran towards that direction. There were three magicians in the team, but Yue Yanran was a wind-type magician, and in fact only Ling Xue was relatively slow. As for Anton, that guy was stronger than Ferding, the magic swordsman, and when he ran, the speed was only a little slower than Jing Chen. Even Ling Su and Ferding could only look at him.

"Sister Ling Xue, will I take you away?" Looking at Ling Xue's already a little struggling look, Jing Chen had to say helplessly. At this time, he didn't care whether Yue Yanran would have other ideas.

Ling Xue did not agree immediately, but glanced at Yue Yanran, pondered for a while, and said, "It's still not necessary, I can do it myself." As she said that, she bit her silver teeth and her feet slightly accelerated.

"Sister Xue, it's okay, don't hold on, just let Chen take you away for a while." Seeing Ling Xue's increasingly pale face, Yue Yanran advised.

Ling Xue smiled slightly, shook her head, and said to Yue Yanran, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

"Swoosh!"

A sharp weapon breaks through the air interrupted several people's words, and Jing Chen instantly discovered the sharp arrow shot from the grass in front of him. At this moment, several men dressed in grass green clothes and covered with grass green juice appeared in front of the people. The leader was more than two meters tall and had a pair of cold eyes staring at Jing Chen and the others. He held an alloy longbow in his hand. It was obvious that the arrow shot at Jing Chen was the one who did it.

The man's lips kept buzzing, as if he was muttering magic spells.

At the same time, the man behind him rushed towards Jing Chen and the other six people. Within a distance of more than a hundred meters, the men had already fanned Jing Chen and the others in the middle. The man with the leader holding an alloy longbow had already pulled the longbow to the full moon state at this time, and three arrows with twinkling cold light were already on the strings. It seemed that if Jing Chen and the others escaped, the three sharp arrows would attack instantly.

At this moment, Jing Chen and the others were not panicked. Although the men in front of them were good, they were only good. The average strength was only at the beginning level of level 4. This strength obviously could not reach the eyes of Anton and others.

"Put down the valuable things and spare you all the time." The leader seemed to feel the pressure from Jing Chen and the others, stared at the people with vigilance and said slowly.

Jing Chen smiled slightly and looked at the man jokingly, "What if I don't?"

The man's eyes narrowed, his voice suddenly became cold, and he only spit out a word, "Die!" As soon as he finished speaking, three cold lights shot straight into Jing Chen's vital points. Jing Chen's face was not surprised, and his right hand shook slightly. Before the few people could see clearly, the three sharp arrows had already appeared in Jing Chen's hands.

"What?"

"How could it be!"

Jing Chen's seemingly casual response immediately shocked the men opposite him. Even the man in the lead changed his face, but his face was covered by the green grass paint, which no one could see.

Jing Chen smiled coldly, "Those little tricks are used to rob others?" As he said that, his eyebrows stood up, his hands holding the three sharp arrows shook, and three cold lights passed by. Three men surrounding Jing Chen and others fell down. The three sharp arrows had already been inserted into their chests at this moment.

"Ah...ah..." The eyes of several men were full of desire for life, but their hearts had been pierced by sharp arrows. In just a moment, their eyes lost their luster, and their heads were weakly tilted to the side, obviously exhausted.

The blood stained the land beneath them red, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

At this moment, the positions of hunters and prey have completely reversed. Several alive men did not even dare to look at the dead companions. They were afraid that once their sight left Jingchen, they would no longer see the sun tomorrow.

However, Jing Chen obviously had no intention of letting them go, and his body trembled slightly. The next moment he had already appeared behind a man. Before the man could shout, the man had slapped his head with a palm, and the red and white brain splashed all over the ground. Until this moment, the afterimage of Jing Chen standing in front of the few people slowly disappeared.

"Run!" The man in the lead shouted, turned around and ran away without caring about the life and death of his subordinates.

A sharp light flashed in Jing Chen's eyes. He didn't dare to keep such a tough character. Jing Chen didn't want to experience it personally. Thinking of this, his figure trembled again and appeared next to the leader.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Jing Chen's killing palm actually slapped on an invisible light film, even though the light film was instantly broken by Jing Chen's full-strength attack. The man in the lead obviously had a backhand. Seeing that Jing Chen was shrunk by his defense cover, he turned around instantly, and a dagger that seemed to be able to swallow even the sunlight suddenly stabbed out and headed straight to the vital point of Jing Chen's chest.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jing Chen's mouth, and his body suddenly became clear. The next moment, he suddenly appeared behind the man's back. With a wave of his right hand, a crisp "pop" sound, the man's head had been smashed by Jing Chen, and the dead body fell to the ground in an instant.

Seeing Jing Chen's ruthless method, even Anton, Ling Su and others were heartbroken, not to mention those men. The people ran away as if they were scared and frightened. Unfortunately, Jing Chen's speed was too fast. In a few breaths, the men had already left their bodies on the spot and followed their boss's footsteps.

"Chen, you..." Yue Yanran and others looked at Jing Chen with awe, as if they had known him for the first time. It was indeed very unexpected to Jing Chen's neat murder.

Seeing the eyes of several people, Jing Chen smiled slightly and said with a calm expression, "When we leave the Cologne Fortress, we will encounter all kinds of people who are planning to commit crimes. There is no pity or sympathy here, otherwise we will be the ones who die." As he said that, Jing Chen came to the man in charge, took a space ring with good material from the man's finger, closed his eyes slightly, and the next moment, there was a flash of silver light on the ground in front of him, and a large number of gold coins and magic cores appeared on the ground.

Jing Chen bent down, as if he was looking for something in it. Soon, several badges shining with golden light were thrown over, and Yue Yanran hurriedly reached out to catch them.

"How could it be!" Seeing the badge in his hand, Yue Yanran actually exclaimed, and her exclamation also attracted Anton and others on the side to look at each other.

I saw several badges of senior students of Zeus Academy lying quietly in Yue Yanran's hands, with some blood on them hanging on the badges. Obviously, the owner of these badges may have encountered an unexpected accident. Perhaps the leader did not want to give up this rare piece of Sejin and collected them.

Jing Chen put away the treasures of the man in charge, stood up and smiled at the other people, "Students, this world is very cruel, so let's put away your kindness for the time being, that thing is not suitable here." After saying that, he shook his head and headed to the place where the valley was.

The moment he turned his head, Jing Chen sighed slightly, thinking that he was like Yue Yanran and others now, but he had seen the ugliness of human nature earlier than them.

Seeing Jing Chen's slowly moving away back, Yue Yanran and others no longer hesitated and hurriedly followed. However, during the next journey, the atmosphere was a little depressed, and several people could not accept this huge impact for a while. Jing Chen didn't say anything. Some things were not something he said, and others could understand. This was like reading a book. Even if you saw a method of using a skill, it would be difficult to understand the casting skills without actual operation.

At noon, several people found a spacious and flat place and sat on the ground. Jing Chen skillfully set up a barbecue grill. Several people took out a thorn pig that he had killed on the way and roasted it on the fire. The slightly depressing atmosphere along the way also became alive in the scent of the scent. After all, they were not children. Although they were still unacceptable to Jing Chen's methods, they still agreed with what Jing Chen said.

"Boss Jing, have you been at the backbone of God for more than half a year?" Fording asked casually, holding a piece of freshly baked rib in his hand. While eating, he looked at Jing Chen. The oil stains covered his lips, and he looked extremely happy to eat.

"Yes..." Jing Chen responded with some emotion. Looking back on the experience of more than half a year, Jing Chen still feels like he is in a dream.

"Boss, tell us about your experience in the backbone of God? Several of us entered from the periphery. Before we even reached the core area, we were teleported out. I heard that none of us entered from the periphery this time had entered the core area. They all said that your speed was too fast this time." Anton also came over, his oily lips opened and closed, and there were still some meat residue on his teeth.

Jing Chen pondered for a moment, and then thought that several people had the chance to participate in the next competition of the Gods, and the next time they participated, these people were likely to become members of the core team of Zeus Academy. He nodded and said, "Okay, this core area..." After entering the core area, Jing Chen talked about how he encountered Soyalong and Leng Yanle, how he was plotted by Xingyun and others, and finally arrived at the ladder to climb the sky, how he encountered the beast tide, and the Blood Wolf Emperor.

When they heard these thrilling experiences, the few people looked at each other. They could not imagine that they participated in the Backbone of Gods. Their experience could only be said to be mediocre, but Jing Chen's experience was really amazing. However, Jing Chen did not tell all the experiences, just like in Qiu Xian, Jing Chen was just passing by, but even so, those ups and downs were not as boring as Anton and others experienced.

After lunch, the few people set out on the road again. This time the atmosphere was much better than in the morning. A few people were talking and laughing along the way. In the evening, everyone found a mound to settle down. Although there was no cover here, the terrain was high. After Anton tinkering on it for a while, a sag of five meters in diameter appeared in front of the people.

"Okay, let's rest here for a night today." As Jing Chen said that, he started to set up the fire, and everyone roasted the thorny pork that they had not finished eating at noon again.

Twilight gradually descended on the vast Wolf Plain. The entire Wolf Plain returned to quiet. Only the wandering wind and the roar of the distant Warcraft Mountains reminded all travelers on the plain that this place was not as safe as it seemed.

After the night shift was divided, Anton, Ling Su and others fell asleep around the bonfire. The first shift was Jing Chen.

Suddenly, Yue Yanran turned over and came out of her sleeping bag. Seeing Yue Yanran get up, Jing Chen was slightly stunned and looked at Yue Yanran in confusion and said, "Why are you getting up? You are not feeling well?"

Yue Yanran shook her head, came to Jing Chen's side, sat down obediently, holding Jing Chen's arms with both arms. After a long time, she slowly said, "Chen, you won't be angry with me in the morning, right?" After that, she looked at Jing Chen like a child who had done something wrong.

Jing Chen was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Yue Yanran said, and smiled, "How could it be, I came here like this? Your reaction was nothing, it's normal." He shook his head indifferently.

Seeing that Jing Chen really didn't mean to be angry, Yue Yanran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Chen, I really didn't want to doubt you at that time, but suddenly I saw you killing so many people and felt a little uncomfortable, so...just..."

Jing Chen raised his other hand, covered Yue Yanran's cute pink lips, and whispered, "I'm really not angry, you don't need to explain to me. After all, we all grew up in the academy. There are still many things that cannot be accepted and understood in this real society. But after all, we live in this society, so we have to learn to adapt to this society. Otherwise, our results will probably be no different from those of the senior students who have suffered miserable surprises."

Yue Yanran trembled, let go of Jing Chen with her right hand, spread her palms, and saw a silver light flash. The badges of the senior students had appeared in her snow-white hands. Looking at these badges, Yue Yanran suddenly didn't know what to say. Even she could guess the fate of the owners of these badges, and then she thought of her own people. If it weren't for Jing Chen, I'm afraid that she would be much better than the owners of these badges now.

At this moment, the blood on the badge had already become dark red, but when reflected by the light of the bonfire, it looked particularly dazzling...

The night at the Cologne Fortress was quiet and peaceful, and the war beast seemed to be in a deep sleep. The moonlight shone from the sky, covering the entire city with a thin layer of silver. At this moment, everyone seemed to be in a deep sleep like this war beast.

The midnight bell broke through the quiet night sky, and several bats hanging upside down in the heavy building were flew out. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and he quickly walked through the Cologne Fortress. If he didn't look carefully, he might think that the night cat was jumping on the roof.

Soon, the black shadow came to the southwest corner of Cologne, in front of a small courtyard, which was remote. Even during the day, few people would come here, let alone the night of curfew. The black shadow glanced around, flew over the wall, came to the only house in the courtyard with lights, and knocked on the door a few times.

"Who?" A slightly nervous voice came from the room.

"It was me, Young Master Dan asked me to come." The black shadow said in a deep voice.

The door creaked slowly and opened a small gap. The black shadow flashed and entered the room. Then, a fat-headed and big-eared middle-aged man stretched out his head and looked around with caution. After confirming that no one followed, he retracted his head. After closing the door, the middle-aged man's small eyes fell on the black shadow who had just entered.

"Are you sent by Young Master Dark?" The lights in the house were dim, and the mottled lights swayed on the middle-aged fat man's face, and a ray of oil appeared. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the person who was wearing a black outfit and covered in a mask.

"Yeah." The visitor nodded slightly, and his cold eyes also fell on him, but a sharp look flashed in his eyes. He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Where is the thing?"

The middle-aged fat man's eyes froze, his eyes wandered for a while. After a while, he slowly said, "Young Master Dark is ready, right?"

"Don't you believe my young master?" The visitor said coldly with his eyebrows. As soon as the sound came out, the temperature of the whole room seemed to drop a lot, and even the lights on the table shook.

"No...no, I dare not doubt the young master's character. I will take it for you now and take it for you now." As he said that, the fat man turned around and walked towards the inner room.

Suddenly, the visitor frowned, and a step had already arrived behind the fat man. He grabbed the fat man's shoulder with one hand and said coldly, "You'd better not play tricks, otherwise..." As he said that, his eyes suddenly changed, and a powerful murderous aura instantly attacked from the fat man's back. The fat man's fat body suddenly tightened, and there were traces of water on his pants.

Seeing the fat man in this way, the person who came snorted disdainfully, flashed and returned to the hall, his eyes still staring at the fat man's back, and his eyes seemed to be looking at a corpse.

The fat man bit himself like this when he treated him like this. He bit his teeth and finally let go. Judging from the series of actions just now, the man in black is much stronger than him. If he was not obedient, it would not be impossible for the man in black to kill him, so he was particularly careful and guarded against the person coming.

The fat man walked to the inner room, looked at the direction of the hall again, and came to the bed. He held a vase on the small cabinet beside the bed with his two fat hands, and turned hard, and a "squeak" sound was heard. A small square was opened on the wall above the cabinet. The moment the square opened, colorful treasure lights suddenly shot out, and there were many magic cores that were sky-high in the black market and a large number of gold coins.

"You really know how to hide. If you didn't open it on your own, it would have cost me a lot of hands and feet." A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind the fat man. The fat man trembled all over. When he turned his head to look, he saw that the man in black who was supposed to be in the hall had come to his back at some point. The crystal that had just been held in his hand quietly slid from his hand, and the fat man was stunned.

A red light burst out, and a huge blood hole had appeared on the fat man's neck. A large amount of blood gushed out of the wound, dyeing the entire floor red.

"Hmph!" The visitor snorted coldly, waved his right hand, and a soft force passed by. The crystal had appeared in the visitor's hand. He looked down at the crystal and saw that there were six small light spots gathering on it, which were constantly flashing. The visitor's face hidden under the black veil was delighted, put the crystal in his arms, and reached out to grab the treasure in the dark grid.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud bang broke through the quiet night sky. A huge cloud of smoke rose up in the southwest corner of Cologne, and the smoke rolled straight into the sky.

"What?!" In the distance, above a two-story building, a white-faced boy in gorgeous clothes was looking here. The huge explosion suddenly woke the young man up from his thoughts, and his eyes were solemnly looking in the direction where the firelight rose.

"Uncle Chen, please come and see if it's right..." The boy did not continue, but his eyes were still staring at the direction where the firelight rose. The rising flames reflected the sky in the southwest red. Many people were also awakened by the huge explosion. The guards who were vigilant rushed to the place where the incident occurred. At this moment, the entire city of Cologne moved.

"Yes!" An old voice came from the downstairs where the boy was. After a response, a tiny sound of footsteps slowly faded away. Then, in the house where the boy lived, several black shadows suddenly shot out and disappeared into the thick dark night in the blink of an eye.

Wolf Plain, mound.
To be continued...
