novelSnatching the Sky Demon Herb
| ← Ch.369 | Ch.371 → |
"It's not impossible to get the Sky Demon Herb." Audrey thought for a moment and looked at the mysterious man with deep eyes."Take off your mask and tell me in detail how you managed to sneak into the Knights Legion."
Hearing this, Klein and the others were astonished.
It was unbelievable that there were people in the Knights Legion who had colluded with demonic Qi.
"You want to know too much! Curiosity killed the cat." The mysterious man sneered. His tone was indifferent, but it made people feel a little cold.
"Then there's no room for negotiation. Even if you kill me today, you won't be able to get the Sky Demon Herb." Audrey's face turned cold and her attitude was unyielding.
She knew clearly that the people of the Carol Association had to get the Sky Demon Herb to save people. With the Sky Demon Herb, she could have bargaining chips and protect her own safety.
The mysterious man's face darkened slightly, revealing an unhappy expression. However, when he saw Audrey's resolute attitude, he restrained himself and said coldly, "Alright, let me see what the Sky Demon Herb looks like first."
Hearing this, Audrey's expression tensed up slightly. She was worried that the other party would use underhanded methods, but she could not refuse.
"I won't lie to you. The Sky Demon Herb is in my hands, " Audrey replied coldly.
"Miss Audrey, your words are a little boring. Since we are exchanging, we have to be more sincere. Now that you haven't even shown it to me, how can I trust you?" The mysterious man sneered as the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Even though she knew that the other party was just looking for an excuse, Audrey still did not have enough excuses. After thinking for a moment, she still decided to take out the Sky Demon Herb.
This was a risky action.
"Alright, I can show you. However, if you don't keep your word, don't blame me for being impolite, " Audrey said coldly. She placed her hands behind her back and easily took out the Sky Demon Herb.
Her tightly wrinkled eyes stared at the other party cautiously and vigilantly. Only then did she slowly take out the Sky Demon Herb. She said, "This is the Sky Demon Herb. You can take off your mask now."
Upon seeing the Sky Demon Herb, the mysterious man's eyes immediately lit up. He was about to quickly step forward, but when he saw Audrey's vigilant gaze, he stopped in his tracks.
"Okay, " he replied with a raised tone. He placed one hand in front of his face and made a gesture of wanting to take off his mask.
However, his other hand hidden behind his back secretly contained energy.
"Watch carefully!" The man berated. Audrey looked up. His mask had not been taken off, but he had already flashed over and snatched the Sky Demon Herb away from her hand.
"Ice slash!" Audrey's eyes turned cold. She swung her sword and landed on the mysterious man's mask.
The mask instantly split into two. Half of it fell to the ground, and the other half was held by the man. At the same time, Audrey could clearly see the man's face.
His sharp eyebrows and deep eyes made him look very fierce. There was a long scar on that half of his face, making him look especially terrifying.
Could this be the reason why he had been wearing the mask?
Audrey was stunned. Klein and the others were also shocked by the mysterious man's appearance. They had never seen anyone look so fierce, as though they were born to be bloodthirsty.
With the mask cut in half, the man's eyes quickly burned with anger.
"Audrey, we will not let today's matter rest, " the man hurriedly said before leading his subordinates and leaving.
Only then did Audrey slowly react. Her mind was still filled with the terrifying half of the mysterious man's face.
"Audrey, are you alright?" Klein rushed forward and asked with concern.
"I'm fine, " Audrey responded with a light sigh.
Seeing her like this, they thought that it was because the Sky Demon Herb had been snatched away, so they comforted her."Although the Sky Demon Herb has been snatched away, it's fine. It's good that you're alright. If you really need the Sky Demon Herb, we'll snatch it back."
"It's not important anymore, " Audrey replied indifferently.
The Sky Demon Herb was just a tool that she used to attract the people from the Carol Association. Since it had been snatched away, it did not matter. Besides, even if she had the Sky Demon Herb, she might not necessarily succeed in reviving the dead.
The few of them did not quite understand the meaning behind Audrey's words. She had used all sorts of methods to obtain the Sky Demon Herb, but it had been snatched away just like that. She actually felt that it was not important anymore.
"Audrey, do you have any special relationship with that group of people?" Adrian asked thoughtfully. He had a feeling that Audrey was hiding something from them.
These words instantly stunned Audrey.
She did not know if she should tell them about the matter regarding the Carol Association. This matter involved a lot of people, and she was afraid that they would be implicated because of it.
"Let's leave this place first. Let me think about it, and I'll tell you slowly, " Audrey sighed deeply and said meaningfully.
The three of them did not ask any more questions. The atmosphere along the way became a little strange.
A day later, seeing that the carriage was about to enter the Knights, Audrey's messy thoughts finally became a little organized. After thinking for a long time, she decided to tell them about the Carol Association.
"You mean to say that the black-clothed men that we've met during this period of time are all from the Carol Association?" Klein revealed a shocked expression as if he had never imagined that Spark City would have such a fortuitous encounter.
Audrey nodded with a complicated look on her face.
"It looks like there are still people from the Carol Association hiding in the Knights. They definitely didn't appear out of thin air. What are their motives?" Hobart and Adrian's thoughts became much heavier as they racked their brains.
