Astral Apostle Chapter 45: Suspicion and estrangement

"What's going on here?!"

Many hunters looked at the ruined 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 of the people 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, so why would he start a killing spree in the lord's castle at night? It also hurts both people!

What happened in half a day!

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

Under everyone's eyes, Zhou Jing staggered and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

His vision is blurred, his jaw is broken, and his nerves hurt.

The chest and abdomen were severely hit by the inch-headed man, and he had no idea how many ribs were broken, and his internal organs were also broken.

After being hit by such a heavy blow, the wounds are getting worse, and I am already at the end of my strength. I used to hold my breath to maintain the lightning strike, and squeezed the last strength from the cracks of the bones. Injury-for-injury kills the inch-headed man.

After he succeeded at this time, Zhou Jing couldn't hold his breath any longer. His strength was rapidly draining, and he was bleeding all over his body. He couldn't even lift the knife.

This body injury is fatal, 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 life left is probably in seconds.

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

Dozens of guards crowded in front of the stairs. Seeing Zhou Jing staggering approaching, they hurriedly retreated up the steps and crowded into 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 dying, 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 hallway behind the crowd, Root was pale and his teeth chattered.

He wanted to turn his head and flee upstairs, but his legs were not obeying him.

Previously, the inch-headed 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 that the good situation would take a turn for the worse, and his greatest confidence would be killed on the spot!

His whole focus was on Zhou Jing and the inch-toed man. After Ross was easily killed, he didn't pay attention to the corpse lying across the battlefield.

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. The first reaction was that the short-headed man was careless and didn't hit. The death of Ross gave him the energy 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 has only 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!

How do you feel now...

Regret, quite regret!

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

Who knew this guy could fight like that? !

"Save...Save..."

Root stuttered and suddenly saw the many hunters gathered downstairs, his eyes suddenly lit up, and hope was 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!"

When the voice fell, a few hunters subconsciously stepped forward, and they were about to rush up 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 in surprise.

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

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

Weiss did not respond immediately. He looked at Zhou Jing who was dying, his face twitching.

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

After three months of teaching and fighting side by side, Weiss was shocked and angry when he saw Zhou Jing's tragic appearance.

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 in a deep voice.

Someone hesitated and said, "Why don't you do it? After all, it's the lord. You can't watch Jason kill him, right?"

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

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

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

It stands to reason that they should protect the lord, but they should stand in the position of the hunter, and they should protect their own people.

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

After all, there has never been 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 guard inexplicably, and then suddenly rushed into the castle to want my life. I don't even understand what's going on! If you have any questions, stop him before asking. !”

Hearing this, the hunters felt reasonable, 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 in 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.

The hunter's heart throbbed, and for some reason, he let go of his hand subconsciously.

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

My body, I have no strength to move forward.

This is the final blow...

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

What...

The blade spins, flying through the crowd.

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

A jingle.

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.

Many 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.

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

Root shuddered.

Fortunately, the inch-toed man and this hunter fought a losing battle, and basically both died. 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, and turned into joy and fear.

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

You've escaped!

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

"What happened?"

Weber's tone is solemn.

Numerous hunters followed silently, passing through the guards who dared not move, and surrounded Ruth.

Root gasped and swallowed.

Because of Zhou Jing, these hunters who were usually trusted, suddenly made him feel 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 are witnessing it, it is not good.

However, when Jason died, no one knew that Magogie had 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, pretending to be puzzled:

"I don't know. Jason suddenly came to the door and took the heads of several of my alien-blooded guards. He said he wanted me to give an explanation, but I had no idea what happened. I saw that he killed my guards. So I decided to capture him first, but I didn't expect it to develop like this..."

"Maggi?" 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 reluctantly maintained his composure, and his words were mixed, and he just wanted to stabilize the many hunters.

Even if I wanted to throw dirty water on Zhou Jing, I 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 thoughts.

Although I don't know what happened, Zhou Jing is one of them. There must be a reason for 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 beast hunter, and everyone can't think that it didn't happen.

Jason is the most talented of them all. Everyone thinks that he has a promising future and has the opportunity to become a legendary monster hunter.

But I 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 signs of guilty conscience.

It took a long time before Weber spoke slowly:

"This matter, we are waiting for you to give an explanation, if it does not satisfy us..."

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

Root didn't dare to say anything, he could only promise, 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, crowding around.

Seeing this, Root couldn't help but ask:

"Where are you going to take him?"

"It's none of your business."

Weiss coldly dropped a sentence.

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

They only have one idea now, which 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 any words of dissuasion.

He could guess that everyone would probably take the 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. about this, and then doubt yourself.

There was nothing Kroot could do to stop him.

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

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

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

The goatee must be hidden or silenced, and Balon must not be seen in the city...

Root's face is gloomy and uncertain, and he can only try to find a way to remedy it~IndoMTL.com~ He has always tried to establish a good relationship with most hunters, but now the changes brought about by Zhou Jing have caused the hunters to estrange him, almost All previous efforts were abandoned, and many hidden dangers were buried.

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

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

Root clutched 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 and looked at the mess here in amazement.

Many residents whispered, commotion and noise.

In the crowd watching, 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.

After passing through the streamer tunnel, Zhou Jing quickly returned to the shuttle preparation space.

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