Chapter 32: The Mysterious Black Shadow!!

  Arriving at the entrance of the fourth level, Xiao Hong took out another sack from his waist and put Xu Nan's body in it. He then threw it directly into the fourth-level mine tunnel and sprinkled some broken stones inside as a temporary cover-up.

  Plop.

  Just as Xiao Hong was about to settle everything and leave as if nothing had happened, a very faint sound of a stone falling not far away entered his ears.

  In the mine tunnel, it's not uncommon for rocks to fall off naturally, but this sound was enough to alert Xiao Hong, because before the rock fell, Xiao Hong vaguely heard the sound of an object rubbing against the stone, although very light, due to the relatively closed mine tunnel, the sound would be greatly amplified, and since the surroundings were extremely quiet, such a sound could be distinguished as long as one's hearing was sensitive.

  "Who are you?" Without hesitation, Xiao Hong directly fixed his gaze on the source of the sound. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly there. The way Xiao Hong asked the question was also specially modified, not simply asking "who", but adding a "you". This made the directionality very strong, giving the enemy lurking in the dark an illusion: I have already seen you.

  This is what Xiao Hong saw in a psychology book.

  Whoosh! Bang! Bang!

  As expected, Xiao Hong's trick worked, and a black figure suddenly flashed out of the dark depths of the mine, but instead of rushing towards Xiao Hong, it rushed towards the exit!

  Just now he himself did what, Xiao Hong is very clear, that is to kill four people in a row. Originally thought that no one knew, can completely pass it off as nothing, but didn't think that someone would secretly spy on him!

  Once the matter is exposed, it will be endless trouble for Xiao Hong.

  And who would that figure in black be?

  Xiao Hong didn't have time to think about that anymore, his legs exerted force and he directly rushed towards the black shadow.

  In just a few seconds, Hei Ying and Xiao Hong emerged from the mine entrance one after another, like two black panthers in the night.

  The black shadow didn't stop and ran straight into the woods. Xiao Hong, who was closely pursuing behind, also rushed into the forest without hesitation.

  The dark night made the entire forest pitch black, but fortunately there was a faint moonlight that allowed Xiao Hong to vaguely lock onto the black shadow and not let it escape.

  "Who are you? Why are you spying on me?" Xiao Hong suddenly asked loudly, here in the forest, Xiao Hong wasn't worried that his voice would be heard by anyone.

  However, the black shadow did not respond and continued to move agilely between the trees with an unusually light movement.

  This made Xiao Hong even more vigilant, and judging from the movements alone, the black shadow was absolutely not an ordinary person, it might be a master. But why did the other party want to spy on and follow him? This remained a mystery in Xiao Hong's heart.

  In an instant, Xiao Hong's expression suddenly changed. He was running at high speed in the forest at midnight, and his face was swept by a refreshing cool breeze. But now, at this moment, Xiao Hong felt that what was sweeping across his face was no longer the cool breeze, but a faint warmth.

  Looking ahead, the black shadow suddenly accelerated to three to five times its original speed, like a rocket, and disappeared from Xiao Hong's line of sight in an instant.

  "Wind Slash?" Xiao Hong suddenly uttered such a sound, this demonic slash that Xiao Hong had read about in books could interfere with the surrounding air, absorb the air in front of him, reduce resistance while expelling a large amount of airflow from behind his body, just like a rocket, propelling himself forward and greatly increasing his speed.

  But in order to control this magic, you must at least reach the level of a controller.

  Obviously, from this point alone, Xiao Hong could judge that the other party's strength was far superior to his own. However, Xiao Hong did not stop chasing because of this. After all, the other party had seen his unmentionable secret!

  And who would be on the other side? Someone from the Shaojiang Group? No, if it were someone from the Shaojiang Group, with his abilities, why didn't he capture me earlier instead of trying to escape?

  While trying to speed up his pace as much as possible, Xiao Hong's mind was constantly analyzing, but the more he analyzed, the more confused he became.

  A few minutes later, the black shadow glanced back at his body, Xiao Hong had already been shaken out of sight, retracted the wind, slowed down his footsteps, and slightly shook his head, as if it was a disdain for Xiao Hong, then stepped forward, preparing to stroll out of the forest.

  But just a few steps away, the dense "swishing" sound came from behind, and Xiao Hong had caught up again after slightly turning his head.

  "Who are you?"

  Still accompanied by Xiao Hong's questioning voice.

  He couldn't help it, the black shadow's fingers moved slightly, apparently he had underestimated Xiao Hong's persistence. Just as he was about to quicken his pace and look back, two bright lights suddenly appeared behind him.

  Bang! Bang!

  Then, two sword-like fangs were inserted in front of his feet. As for this black shadow, Xiao Hong did not make a move to kill him. He was very clear that he was no match for the black shadow. Once he made a killing move, it was very likely that he would be counter-killed. Now Xiao Hong only wanted to know who the black shadow was and why he wanted to spy on himself.

  But just as Xiao Hong was about to approach the black shadow with great difficulty, he saw that the black shadow took a step back in the opposite direction and approached Xiao Hong. The movement was swift and strange, and it stretched out its finger to lightly touch Xiao Hong's forehead before suddenly appearing at a very distant position behind Xiao Hong.

  As for Xiao Hong, at the moment when his opponent's finger touched his forehead, he felt as if a heavy magic truck had crashed into his forehead, and his body involuntarily leaned back. Then his entire body heavily smashed onto the grass, with almost no room to counterattack. The black shadow behind him also appeared in his field of vision.

  "Don't chase anymore." The black shadow suddenly emitted such a voice, which was neither male nor female, old nor young, and had obviously been modified by the Voice-Changing Magic.

  Then, looking behind the black shadow, a purple light flashed suddenly.

  Whoosh!

  The next moment, a pair of brown bat-like energy wings formed behind the black shadow.

  "This...” Seeing such a scene, Xiao Hong, who was still somewhat dissatisfied, changed his expression greatly. To be able to generate such a magical wing pattern, at the very least, it should be someone of the Great Yu Shi level. In Tai Wu City and its surroundings, such a person is impossible to appear. What made Xiao Hong even more shocked was that his own warning magic pattern had no effect whatsoever.

  "Who are you? Why do you want to spy on me?" Xiao Hong asked again, his voice very calm. Now he already knew that the other party had no intention of harming him, otherwise, relying on Hei Ying's strength, that one move just now would have been enough to take his life.

  Heiying didn't answer, unfolded his dark wings and leaped up, ready to fly towards the sky.

  Rustle!

  Just as the dark figure's feet had just left the ground, a loud tearing sound suddenly came, and when he looked again, one corner of the dark figure's cloak was already entwined with an energy thorn, tearing off a corner of the dark figure's cloak.

  Obviously, who did such a small move, need to ask?

  "Hey!" The dark figure glanced at Xiao Hong, but it was clear that he too had no intention of entangling himself with Xiao Hong any further. He let out a helpless and slightly dissatisfied voice, then flapped his demonic wings and flew straight into the sky, disappearing in an instant, leaving behind not even a hint of his presence.

  He slowly sat up from the ground, Xiao Hong subconsciously rubbed his forehead, then he leaned against a tree trunk. From his previous actions, Xiao Hong could tell that Hei Ying would not go to the Security Bureau to report him, because he could see that the other party seemed uninterested in killing people, but being discovered by others after taking action himself still made Xiao Hong feel very uncomfortable.

  There is also the question of who the other party is and what they want to do. In Xiao Hong's mind, a big question mark was formed, he was just a small miner, a fourth-level driver, and it seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

  For the sake of the magic pearl? This is even more impossible, because one can be certain that the matter of the magic pearl will absolutely not be discovered by anyone.

  What's the point of that?

  Xiao Hongxin was still perplexed, his mind a jumble of confusion. He slowly stood up, picked up the cloak that had been hung on the thorny vine, and examined its material. It wasn't any expensive or special fabric.

  "..." He let out a long sigh, gazed in the direction where the black shadow had disappeared, and then Xiao Hong walked slowly towards the quarry, the cloth strip in his hand was casually stuffed into his pocket, this was the only clue that Xiao Hong intentionally left behind about the black shadow.

  Back home, it was already the second half of the night. After changing out of his blood-stained clothes and burning them, Xiao Hong carefully checked for any remaining traces of the fight at home, to make sure there were no oversights.

  As for the black shadow, Xiao Hong didn't continue to think about it, because Xiao Hong was very clear that he couldn't figure out any clues, and continuing to think would only get himself entangled in this problem and unable to extricate himself.

  At present, whether it's one's own strange illness or anything else, it can be said that everything revolves around a core, which is to quickly enhance strength, this is the most practical.

  Everything was settled, the door was locked, and Xiao Hong lay on the bed, snoring loudly. He didn't worry about the black shadow coming back. Xiao Hong knew that facing the black shadow's powerful strength, being awake or asleep made no big difference.

  When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

  Right on time, after packing up his things, Xiao Hong entered the fourth floor and quickly threw four broken burlap sacks into the lava river on the fifth floor, completely destroying all evidence. As for the 10 gold coins on Pang Shuai and Li Sheng's bodies, Xiao Hong collected them all, after all, there were no marks on the gold coins.

  Along with the four corpses, a red sandalwood box used by the Zelai family to store gold coins was also thrown down. Although this wooden box could be sold for dozens of silver coins, Xiao Hong decided to destroy it as a precaution.

  Simply pried up more than a dozen boulders on the fourth floor, after handing over a part of them, Xiao Hong returned home and continued to practice medicine. Although Xiao Hong's heart had already made up his mind to leave, it was not now.
