Chapter 49: calculate
"Are they taking action?"
Looking at the person who walked in, Lip Adams asked.
"Yes, Patriarch, the Campbell family has sent three chief guards, Ruse, Farr, and Sassoon. Not only that, but the Campbell family boy named Sean that you asked me to pay special attention to is also among them."
"Among them?"
Hearing this, Lip Adams frowned.
As the biggest competitor of Campbell Firm in Aser City, he naturally paid close attention to Sean, who was sent to Neo Knight Academy by Campbell Firm with a lot of money, but the result made him a little dumbfounded.
Not to mention being at the bottom every year, in the end he failed the examinations consecutively. Because of Benson, he knew that if Neo Knight Academy failed the examinations three times, he would be forcibly expelled from school. How would he evaluate this kid from the Campbell family? That is - the mud that cannot support the wall is nothing to be afraid of.
Originally, he was waiting for the other party to be expelled from school and to see Campbell's jokes, but he didn't want to. A few days ago, Benson Adams, the son he was most optimistic about, returned, but brought him really unexpected news.
It turned out that the previous performance was all an illusion. The reason why the opponent performed so poorly was to hide his strength. Now the opponent's strength has finally been exposed, and he has already ranked first in the class.
You must know that Neo Knight Academy is not an ordinary knight academy. Even if it is an ordinary class, if you can rank first among them, it means that the opponent definitely has great potential. This can't help but make him anxious. There is no doubt that this boy It may become the biggest threat to Adams Firm in the future.
He thought about getting rid of the other party secretly, but as soon as the idea came up, he was cut off by himself.
He has also heard about the protection of his students by the Neo Knight Academy. If he really killed the other party and was found out by the Neo Knight Academy, then the Adams Firm may really be over, like a giant like the Neo Knight Academy , It is too easy to crush a small firm to death.
But if the plan failed, he came up with another plan. If this plan succeeds, it will not only bring the Campbell family into a slump, but also get rid of Sean, without being held accountable by Neo Knight Academy. Killing two birds with one stone, so he immediately started the implementation of the plan.
And the content of this plan is to destroy the hunting team of Campbell's firm, and use this as a bait to lure and get rid of the remaining three chief guards of Campbell's firm. The huge loss will make Campbell Firm unable to pay the tuition fee of Neo Knight Academy next year.
If he fails to pay the tuition fee, Sean will definitely drop out of school, and once the other party drops out, even if he kills the other party, it has nothing to do with the Neo Knight Academy, and naturally he will not be retaliated by the Neo Knight Academy.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Sean actually appeared in the search and rescue team.
"Bloom, notify Wilco immediately, others can die, but Sean can't die now, otherwise there will be big trouble."
Lip Adams greeted him, and then a man walked in from outside the house. The man saluted Lip Adams respectfully, and passed on his order.
The Wilco mentioned by Lip Adams is the trump card he plans to use against the three chief guards of the Campbell family, a powerful trainee knight. Interestingly, this person was once employed by the Campbell firm. Later, he betrayed Campbell's firm and defected to Adams' firm.
Out of the city, the five of Xiao En rode horses and galloped all the way. When they reached the foot of Mount Citula, they tied the horses in a hidden place and headed towards Mount Citula.
"It's here, the place where we were attacked before is here!"
The escaped hunter pointed to a place with trembling fingers, and said with certainty.
"Damn it!"
Hearing what he said, Sean approached and looked at it carefully, with an angry look on his face.
There was indeed a fight here, because three corpses that had been devoured beyond recognition lay here. From their clothes, Sean recognized the identities of the three Campbell's hunting team members at a glance.
The same angry expressions as him are the three of Ruse.
"What did you find?"
But with the investigative abilities of the four of them, that's it. Neither Sean nor Rousse are good at scouting, especially Sean, who has no relevant training at all, and Neo Knight Academy. There are related courses, but it is a pity that it is a fourth-grade course. Unfortunately, he is only a fourth-year student after the beginning of the new year.
So he couldn't see more from the traces of the fight at the scene.
But if they can't see it, it doesn't mean that other people can't see it. The eyes of the four of Xiao En couldn't help looking at an old hunter in his fifties. This old hunter's hair was already half white, just like an ordinary old man, but His sharp eyes showed that he was not ordinary.
In fact, the old man in front of him is a "meritorious" figure of the Campbell family. If the situation were not urgent, the Campbell family would never want to disturb him to enjoy his old age.
When he was young, he was the best hunter of the Campbell family's hunting team. With his rich hunting experience, he had obtained many precious furs for the Campbell family several times.
Later, because of his age, he did not continue to participate in hunting, but he did not idle, and cultivated many excellent hunters for the Campbell family. Most of the hunting team that was attacked this time were his disciples, so in When he knew that the hunting team was attacked and needed an experienced hunter to investigate, he immediately agreed.
"follow me."
Sure enough, the old hunter did not disappoint them. He waved to Sean and the others before walking in one direction.
Sean and the others immediately followed after seeing this.
As they moved forward, even they found some abnormalities. There were thick branches broken by sharp weapons or violence from time to time along the way, and there were even corpses and bloodstains in some places.
Probably under the attack of the wild beast, the hunting team fled in this direction, and the wild beast should be chasing and killing them.
"Aww..."
Following these traces, the five of them walked forward all the way. As they walked, a strange roar came to their ears.
"Yes, it's the cry of the beast!"
Hearing the strange roar of the beast, the hunter who fled back to report the news immediately became clever and said in a trembling voice.
"You two stay here."
Sean and the three chief guards of Ruse looked at each other, gave instructions to the hunter and the old hunter who had fled back to report, and then moved towards the direction of the sound.
Now, of course, there is no need for two people to lead the way. It would be better to say that bringing two people will add two more burdens. Although the two are experienced hunters, compared with them, their strength is far behind. So the four of Sean immediately decided to keep the two of them here.
Learn all about it.
The four of them moved forward, and from time to time there would be a few strange roars from the beast, so that they would not lose the direction of the beast.
Finally, they came to the bottom of a vertical cliff, and finally saw the appearance of the beast.
It was a blue-haired beast, more than two meters long, and its appearance was quite similar to the wolf-shaped beast Xiao En encountered last time except for the head wolf.
It's just that there is a black horn on the opponent's head, like a scimitar piercing into the sky. Not only that, but the opponent's four legs are also stronger than the wolf-shaped beast. There is no doubt that on these four legs, there is absolutely Unimaginable explosive power.
The reason why this wild beast roars from time to time, the four of them also know the reason.
On one of the cliffs, seven or eight meters above the ground, there is a huge protruding rock. At this time, on this huge protruding rock, there are dozens of people wearing the costumes of the Campbell's hunting team. The people all held sharp weapons to guard against the beast.
Although they don’t know how these dozens of people climbed onto the rock, seeing that these dozens of people are not in danger for the time being, the four of Sean began to look at the beast intently, thinking about how to succeed in a sneak attack.
But at this moment, they discovered that the beast that had been looking at the cliff from the beginning to the end suddenly turned its head back, and the direction it was looking was impressively towards Sean and the others.
"Not good, it was discovered!"
Seeing this, the four of Sean screamed in their hearts. They didn't expect this beast to be so sensitive, and they found them at such a distance. Originally, they wanted to touch the beast quietly and attack it. Now it seems that it is Absolutely not.
Shua!
The beast moved, like a gust of blue wind, rushing towards this direction at an extremely fast speed.
Almost half of the distance was crossed in an instant, and the speed was so fast that it was simply staggering.
"careful!"
The head of the guard, Lu Sai, reminded immediately, and drew out the weapon on his back. It was a stick-shaped weapon with a pointed tip at the front end, which was exactly a gun.
clang!
The remaining three Xiao En did not hesitate, and also drew their weapons.
Sean and Farr's weapons are swords.
The weapon of the bald man Sassoon is a battle axe.
