After all the killers had gotten so mixed up, there really was no one left.
But what can be done?
You must know that it is a black dragon, can they still snatch food from the dragon's mouth?
Unless you really don’t want to live anymore.
And they all discovered one thing, that is, none of the killers who entered the innermost part of the dividing line came back alive.
"Those guys, shouldn't they all be cold?"
"I'm afraid so! You have to remember that it's a black dragon! Can they survive?"
"It's hopeless. With the powerful aura exuded by the black dragon, it is at least an eighth-level black dragon. Are they going to hit it with its head?"
…
In the eyes of these killers, those killers who stayed in the inner circle are probably dead now.
Facing the black dragon, even if all of them put together, they couldn't do enough for one of the opponent's dragons.
And just after these killers came out, they saw a person standing there in the direction they entered.
Wearing black clothes and a mask on his face, he doesn't look like a bad guy at first glance.
Moreover, when seeing this person, a kind of killer feels cold all over.
From the aura emanating from the other party, you can feel that the guy in front of you is definitely not an ordinary person, he is a ruthless person.
The killers all looked at each other and nodded to each other. The most powerful sixth-level killer among them walked out.
"Sir, are you also the master who came to hunt down Ye Ling?"
The sixth-level killer asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
In the view of the sixth-level killer, his strength is not weak anymore, and there is no need to show too much respect to a person who does not pose much threat to him.
Level 6 Spirit Controlling Envoys also have their own arrogance.
The person standing opposite, dressed in black and wearing a mask, was Ah Qi, who had been assigned to meet Ye Ling on the outside.
She has been waiting here quietly, waiting for Ye Ling to return from Thorn Ridge.
However, after waiting for so long, she still hadn't seen Ye Ling.
Instead, he saw the killers who were chasing Ye Ling.
When he heard this sixth-level killer's question, Ah Qi's eyes suddenly froze.
[Could it be that...Ye Ling has already...]
Ah Qi couldn't help but have such a conjecture in his mind.
You must know that this is Thorn Ridge after all, and there are all kinds of monsters in it, plus there are so many killers chasing them.
Even if Ye Ling is an extremely talented student, I am afraid that the situation is already in danger at this time.
"You...killed Ye Ling?"
Instead of answering the sixth-level killer's question, Ah Qi asked instead.
"No, I don't know if that guy is dead. We all escaped from the inner siege. There is a black dragon inside..."
There was a killer in the back who had a big mouth and told everything directly.
If the other killers on the side hadn't given him a hand, I'm afraid this guy would have told all the remaining things.
Hearing this, Ah Qi understood immediately.
The killers in front of him didn't kill Ye Ling at all, they just escaped from it.
At the same time, Ah Qi also got a key piece of information from what he just said.
That is the most powerful monster deep in Thorn Ridge, a black dragon.
You must know that it is a giant dragon with at least eight levels of strength, which is far more terrifying than ordinary eighth level monsters.
If such a black dragon were to attack Shengyao City, I am afraid that even if Shengyao City could defend it, it would pay a heavy price.
However, judging from the current situation, since these killers have been able to escape from Thorn Ridge, it means that the Black Dragon has not left.
This also shows that the black dragon will not threaten Shengyao City for the time being.
At this time, Ah Qi suddenly took out a waist badge with the word "Yao" written on it.
"Now... everyone leave here immediately. Ye Ling is the person whom the Lord of Shengyao City wants to protect. Anyone who dares to attack Ye Ling will become the target of our Shengyao City's arrest."
After taking out this waist card, Ah Qi said this.
This waist brand is not just a brand.
It symbolizes the identity of the city lord of Shengyao City, and the city lord usually only gives it to his cronies.
Therefore, when they took out this card, these killers did not doubt its authenticity at all.
They know that this is the attitude of Shengyao City.
If they continue to chase and intercept Ye Ling here, let's not say whether they can intercept Ye Ling. If they really can intercept Ye Ling, they cannot act rashly.
Otherwise, they would not even be able to enter Shengyao City.
This is outside the wilderness, and they want to go on foot to another city, unless they are really very powerful.
Otherwise, it is really just nonsense.
These killers looked at each other one after another, feeling very unwilling, but they had already made a decision in their hearts.
There is absolutely no point in continuing this bounty. The probability that Ye Ling can survive from the black dragon is less than one percent.
Continuing to stay here is just a waste of time, then you can definitely take on more tasks.
Although it would be a great pity to miss out on such a huge bounty.
But they don't dare to go against Shengyao City unless they don't want to live anymore.
"I guess forget it. Whether Ye Ling can come back alive or not is a question. It's useless for us to continue chasing and intercepting him here."
"That's right. This task seems impossible to complete, so let's forget about it."
"Damn it! My companions are all dead inside, but I can't complete the mission!"
"Some of the killers don't wear their heads in their belts, so don't think too much about it."
…
Almost all the killers have given up.
In their opinion, the probability of Ye Ling surviving was too low, and there was no point in continuing to wait.
The sixth-level killer also knew that there was no use in staying, so he responded.
"Understood, young lady, let's leave here immediately. We will definitely not continue to pursue Ye Ling."
Because the pursuit was of no use anymore, Ye Ling didn't even come out, so the pursuit was useless.
After saying that, the sixth-level killer directly summoned his flying spiritual pet, got on it and quickly left here.
As for Ah Qi, she had no intention of stopping him, and didn't even look at the sixth-level killer leaving.
The remaining killers also summoned their flying spiritual pets one after another and quickly left this place.
Thorn Ridge can be said to be their sad place.
They had too many unforgettable memories here, and there were so many monsters that they almost collapsed.
I'm afraid they won't continue to accept bounty missions for a long time after returning, and they need to take a good rest.
Seeing these killers leaving, Ah Qi still had his arms folded, standing there as motionless as a statue.
Not long after, Hong Xiu, who had been behind, finally left Thorn Ridge.
"Who are you? Are you here to hunt down Ye Ling too?"
Ah Qi questioned Hongxiu in front of her.
Being asked so suddenly, Hongxiu's heart suddenly tightened.
Could it be that the woman in front of me is also here to hunt down Ye Ling, but why has she never entered Thorn Ridge?
"Who are you? Why are you here? Are you here to hunt down Ye Ling?"
Hongxiu originally thought that since she had come out, she might encounter the killers who were chasing him, but she didn't expect that she only met one person now.
Ah Qi, on the other hand, didn't hesitate at all and directly took out his pocket card.
After seeing the waist card in Ah Qi's hand, Hongxiu also knew that the person in front of her was not here to hunt down Ye Ling.
"I am not the one chasing Ye Ling. I am Ye Ling's teacher, Hongxiu, a working teacher at Suzaku Academy. I am here to protect Ye Ling secretly."
After confirming the identity of the other party, Hong Xiu did not hide his identity.
The other party took the initiative to reveal his identity, which proved that he was not the killer who came after Ye Ling.
After learning that Hongxiu was actually Ye Ling's teacher, Ah Qi was a little surprised.
I originally thought that Ye Ling went to Thorn Ridge alone, but I didn't expect that there was a teacher secretly protecting him.
After confirming again and again that Ye Ling was not seen, Ah Qi asked her doubts.
"The order given to me by the Lord of the City was to pick up Ye Ling. Since you are his teacher, why didn't you see Ye Ling? Where is he now?"
Since he came to protect Ye Ling, why is there only one person leaving Thorn Ridge now?
Could it be that...Ye Ling is dead now?
After shaking her head with a wry smile, Hongxiu explained.
"Alas! In the past two days, the black dragon sleeping deep in the Thorn Ridge woke up and killed all those who broke into the inner perimeter.
The only thing that didn't kill me and Ye Ling was that the black dragon let me go, but as for Ye Ling, he was taken away by the black dragon."
When this issue was brought up, Hong Xiu seemed very unwilling.
He clenched his fists, but then separated them helplessly.
Ah Qi was also a little surprised when he heard that Ye Ling was taken away by the black dragon instead of killed directly.
What is the situation?
Why did Black Dragon kill those killers but not Ye Ling and Hong Xiu?
How could such a thing happen?
Ah Qi really couldn't figure out why.
But Hongxiu didn't have any intention to explain, so Ah Qi couldn't force him.
"You no longer need to continue to take care of Ye Ling, he may not be able to come out for the time being."
Although Hong Xiu knew that Ye Ling had to stay with Black Dragon for a year, she did not take the initiative to tell Ah Qi.
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Hearing this, Ah Qi nodded stiffly.
She didn't understand that if she continued to wait here, she would be waiting in vain.
Since there is no need to wait any longer, Ah Qi is naturally not prepared to stay here any longer.
So, she extended an invitation to Hongxiu.
"Then you go back with me, I will take you to see the Lord of the City just in time."
With that said, Ah Qi waved his hand and summoned his flying spiritual pet.
"Can."
Hong Xiu did not refuse. She really needed to see the city lord.
