Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

On the quiet water, the tent boat floated slowly by, and the noise in the distance seemed to have nothing to do with it, leaving only the roar of the turbine at the rear.

Because the fuel was replaced by distilled alcohol, it no longer emitted black smoke, leaving only a little blue in the night.

However, it is not as calm as it seems on the outside.

In the cabin, Big Fang's heart was in turmoil.

The canopy was stable, but he seemed to be sitting in a whirlpool, dizzy.

Now, how could he still not understand——

In Shark Village, a swamp ninja appears.

The Skinners changed their generals before the battle, and a new and unknown deputy leader emerged.

But at this moment, they are the same person!

However, unlike others, Big Fang thought of more.

"You are from Huangshui Village...!"

Among all the big bosses, he was the only one who had personally been to Huangshui Village, and happened to witness the scene where the swamp ninjas led the villagers to raise the flag of rebellion; it was he who passed the news to the other giants.

And among the swamp ninjas, the leader was of such stature.

Why didn't I find out...

"The food was not good at that time," Lu Meng smoothed a piece of hair from his forehead and took another sip, "I was still very thin."

This is true.

It was drained by the blood spider.

But the real reason was that he covered his face at that time and did not reveal it at all.

If you have done this and others can still make even a slight association, then you can only praise the other person's sharp thinking and unconstrained imagination.

At this moment, Big Fang didn't wait for the order.

The personal guards in the cabin had already started to move, their swords in their hands as sharp as nails, and they rushed towards the man sitting opposite the big leader.

The silhouettes lengthened, and the entire plank of the tented boat began to tremble.

They are dead warriors raised by the Double Blades. Their faces and costumes are very similar to Big Fang. They can be used as substitutes for the big boss when they go out on weekdays. But when there is a real crisis, they will not hesitate to die to protect the big boss.

And at this moment, there is no doubt.

The enemy is right in front of you!

He must be taken down here.

In addition to being brave and fearless, many of them have also received professional training from the United City and are the hidden elites.

Some of the dead soldiers' guards even took the lead and blocked the exit of the cabin.

Just to prevent the other party from escaping...

However, the two people sitting in front of the case showed no expressions.

Lu Meng reached out to reach his back and grasped the hanging handle of the knife.

His movements seemed so slow because everyone could see them clearly; but his movements were so fast because no one could react!

The silver moon flashed.

Blood flowers bloomed, as if buckets of scarlet paint had been knocked over and poured over the entire cabin.

Without the flesh cleaver's damage bonus to humanoids, the MK1's improved moon blade can penetrate even the heavy armor of the Union City warriors, let alone the fragile flesh and blood of the human body.

Now Lu Meng just flipped his wrist a few times, and all the guards fell down.

The dead soldier who threw himself at the door was left with only half of his body. He rolled out of the cabin without losing his strength, leaving only a large stain of blood on the curtain, like a wanton art painting.

——The only person who can paint such a picture is a lunatic.

The next moment, wailing sounded everywhere.

Gradually weakened again.

Lu Meng's expression remained unchanged because such an enemy was not even worthy of his attention.

Big Fang's expression was frozen, but it was because of deep despair.

The guards didn't know what kind of person they were facing.

But he knows.

The other party concealed his identity like this. The moment he was exposed, it was like hiding a knife and unsheathing it. It was impossible for anyone to get out alive.

There was such a fight in the cabin.

The members of the Double Blade Regiment outside the ship did not respond at all. Considering the inexplicable shutdown of the gas turbine, their ending can be imagined.

"Click."

There was a soft sound, and the mask of Big Fang cracked.

Half of the iron mask fell to the ground, revealing the man's complete face.

The upper half of his face can still be called handsome, but the lower half of his face, which has been hidden all this time, is covered with stitching marks. His lips are shriveled and shriveled, unable to cover his full mouth of teeth. They are jagged and full of jagged teeth, between canine teeth and among the sharks.

Such a face, once seen, will leave a deep impression and cannot be forgotten.

But after so many years of disguise, ordinary swamp people have gradually forgotten the origin of Big Fang's name.

Lu Meng put away the knife.

A line of blood burst open on Big Fang's face, but when he just drew it smoothly, he accidentally applied an extra inch of force.

[Melee Skill: Machete 63 (Master)]

There is no end to learning, and we must continue to practice... He thought to himself.

But the leader of the Double Blade Group was not dead.

The corners of the man's mouth twitched, twitching his pale skin that had not been exposed to the sun for many years. He didn't notice the blood sliding down his cheeks and even getting into his eyes.

After all, he is the leader of the Double Blades, and he is also the chosen agent of Southern United City.

In this short time.

Big Fang has thought it through.

From the beginning of the rebellion in Huangshui Village, this swamp ninja was like a ghost, setting off huge waves in this dense wetland forest; the blow that destroyed the Stone Rat Group and killed Big Al brought haze into everyone's hearts. Even those who gave up their positions of high authority would be in constant panic.

But once, after Shizhen was captured.

The activities of these people seemed to have ceased.

It seems that they have recognized their position and realized that they alone cannot be enemies of the entire swampland faction participating in the alliance, so they have turned to the defensive trend.

The peak of the rebel army seems to be limited to this.

This made many swamp gangs, including Big Fang, breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in Shark Village was not as tense as it was initially.

It seems that as long as the alliance ends successfully.

This reverse wandering flower will naturally disappear in the times.

Therefore, people like Big Fang, Big Black Eyebrow, etc. have more different thoughts.

In contrast, the Skinner changed his deputy leader?

It is even more of a trivial thing in the midst of the feast.

However!

It was this little bit of disharmony that became their fatal flaw, tying all the clues together.

"Ayou?"

Big Fang stared at Lu Meng, his eyes red.

Not only because of the blood flowing into his eyes, but also because of the excitement, it squirmed and crawled all over his eyes, trying to escape from the bursting scarlet bloodshot.

He realized the error of his initial assumptions.

The whole thing was not the manipulation and instructions of the old skinned man - if it had been Big Gray from the past, he wouldn't have been able to do all this.

The person opposite is not some reckless newcomer.

That's a ghost!

It was him who infiltrated the Skinner!

Although I don’t know why, everyone in the Skinner Gang also respects this new deputy leader...but there is no doubt that the fall of the previous deputy leader Asha is inseparable from him.

How come?

It was he who won the trust of all the Skinners, including Big Gray.

With this, the most wanted criminal in the entire swamp walked into the Shark Village in a grand manner and participated in the guild's trial of "himself"!

How bold and arrogant this is.

But when the truth is revealed, it can't help but send chills down the spine.

And the big leader of the Double Blade Group, Big Fang.

Ever since he escaped from Huangshui Village, he has been avoiding this ghost - everyone who came into contact with him has died, and among the remaining people, he was the one who was closest to him.

Tonight, finally.

On this unknown, silent sailing schooner.

He was completely caught by this ghost of the past.

"You can also call me Lu Beiyou."

Lu Meng held down the handle of the knife and stood up.

Since entering the swamp, he has used his real name more often.

The only people who know about this vest are the skinners.

"Wait!" Big Fang tried to retreat in a panic. He was neither Big Al nor Big Black Eyebrow. Facing such an enemy, he didn't even have a chance to resist. "Why are you looking for me now!"

He has one more question and one last hope.

By now, he is not so naive as to think that he was able to escape from Huangshui Village because of the other party's negligence - how could someone who had taken this level of planning into account make such a mistake?

Based on the opponent's strength.

There were countless opportunities to come forward and kill him, but he never took action.

So, is there a possibility...

Lu Beiyou didn't want to kill himself?

Does he think that he, the leader of the double-edged group, is still useful? Just like the nobles of the United Cities view themselves.

He has been looked down upon, despised, and threatened... but he has never been abandoned!

Useful people will never die.

"..."

Lu Meng looked at him and smiled.

He thought of the little girl in Huangshui Village.

At that time, he fed blood spiders to the point where they were reduced to bones. Even the swamp people would be frightened when they saw it, but Xiao Ying'er was not afraid of him... so he gave her some money to buy candy.

He thought again of the old father who wanted to protect his only remaining family member and his only daughter.

Lin Shi was just an ordinary swamp villager. He worked hard to the point of premature aging. His physique was not as good as that of a monster like Lu Meng. After being injured by the gang, his bones all over his body were broken... Even with the joint diagnosis and treatment by himself and Dr. Zhong, he still fell behind. lifelong disability.

The only labor force in this family is considered useless.

Later, Lin Shi woke up... Even though he knew that the father and daughter would thank him, Lu Meng still did not go to see them. Instead, he led the young people from Huangshui Village directly to the vanguard of the Stone Rat Regiment.

Before leaving, I just entrusted Hua Yong, who was appointed as the temporary village elder, to take more care of him.

The other party agreed immediately, this is what it should be.

After arriving at Shark Village, Ah Quan, the young guard from Huangshui Village, asked:

"Mr. Lu, what are you going to do?"

The young man respected him so much; but at this moment, Lu Meng had become the deputy commander of the Skinners and could openly participate in the grandest power banquet in the entire swamp.

Even if Shizhen and Huangshui Village are abandoned, he can still act as a predator at the top of the food chain.

Bring everyone else to the table.

The gluttons share the food.

As one of the first people to follow him in the swamp, Ah Quan faced himself and asked, how much courage does it take to say such a thing?

Lu Meng's answer is...

"You yourself are not very strong and can easily be assassinated, so you have raised many dead soldiers and substitutes. Many occasions that require you to appear in person are actually played by them..." The white-haired young man walked to a corpse. Next to the body of the bodyguard, he lifted his mask and said, "Big Black Eyebrow, Yils... there are many people who are familiar with you, but they don't even know this."

Big Fang's heart trembled.

Under the mask of the corpse, the face was actually covered with suture scars and missing teeth.

Of course, they can't all be like big fangs, born that way.

But in order to play the role of the big boss and be flawless under any circumstances, the doctors of the Double Blade Group performed surgery and forcibly tore off his face to look like this.

"The only exception is that there are some tasks that must be performed by you personally, so I have to take action..."

Lu Meng looked at him: "For example..."

Go to Huangshui Village to find the only matching materials.

Meet the giants of the swamp, deliver accurate information, and use finesse.

And, now.

This may not be Big Fang's intention.

But someone forced him to do it.

Otherwise, you are not doing anything at all. Why should I support you, the leader of the Double Blade Group?

And only at this time can we be sure to catch his true self.

Of course, in order not to let go.

Lu Meng left no one alive on the entire tented boat.

"It's so late, what do you want to do, and who are you going to see?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his moon-blade knife, opened the boat curtain, and looked out:

"...Red Sword Group."

The iron shack is where the Red Sword Regiment is stationed in Shark Village, and the members of the Red Sword Regiment can already be seen standing guard in the distance.

But the strange thing is that it is completely dark there.

There was no lighting at all.

These outsiders in the southern wetlands, the gang members dressed in red, don't seem to find it strange, as if they should be so.

This is not so much a gang station.

Rather, it was like a dark prison, guarding something shady.

Lu Meng looked at it and nodded slightly.

Big Fang stumbled to his feet.

——Finally, this man understood.

Indeed, the reason why he was able to leave Huangshui Village was because of the other party's intention.

But, it wasn't to let him go.

But to spread the news of the swamp ninja invasion, let this ferocious-looking man use his authority as the leader of the Double Blade Group to endorse this information and increase its credibility.

But after arriving at Shark Village, he didn't do anything.

It was even more because Lu Beiyou deliberately induced them to bind them to the Double Blade Group, implying that Big Fang was the mastermind behind the change of deputy leader of the Skinners and the conspirator of Shark Village who stirred up the alliance, so as to "help "Assume any hostility that may be directed at someone like the Skinned Man...

Thinking of this, Big Fang felt a sense of sadness.

Yes, he is indeed useful.

But his real use is to take the blame for the other party and become a pawn in troubled waters.

And if it takes longer.

Big Fang will be able to confess the information frankly to Iles and exchange information, thereby exposing all the conspiracy mysteries.

So on the eve of this, Lu Beiyou appeared.

From now on, the truth can never be known.

He is useful.

But his death is most useful to Lu Beiyou!

The waves on the lake are undulating, and the knotted ancient trees are reflected next to the canopy. The light from the twin moons above our heads leaks out, making the black water appear even deeper.

A sound of wind passed by, like a whimper.

But if you listen carefully, there seems to be a roar like a roar hidden inside, full of anger and unwillingness.

Immediately, a slight sound of water entering was heard, and it quickly dissipated in the silence of the night.
