honor me as god

Chapter 486
Kino witnessed the whole process of Edward annihilating the horse bandits, and also had a new understanding of the plague beast warriors of the Troy family.

Prior to this, Kino had not witnessed the plague beasts fighting very many times, three times at a time.

Once in Xilin Town, in order to fight against the horse bandits, he released the late-stage infected people in the lower epidemic area, and they fought fiercely with the horse bandits.

The second time was when he served as the administrator of Twilight City and fought against the Samsara invasion, Brook was seriously injured and lost control and turned into a beast, and once restrained the Samsara team that invaded at that time.

The last time was to face Jack the Ripper. The elite Trojans from Fengyunguan Governor's Mansion turned into beasts collectively, tearing up all the reincarnators except Jack.

In fact, Han Yi, as a second-generation infected person, can also undergo animal transformation on his own, but Kino has never seen it.

Once, he was curious and wanted to show Hanyi into the form of a plague beast, but Hanyi refused desperately, because she said it was "too ugly".

Han Yi refused to turn into a plague beast, but she told Kino that her abilities after beast transformation were no different from most plague beast fighters—the body transformed into a beast, her various athletic abilities skyrocketed, her pain nerves were greatly suppressed, and her fighting instincts rose sharply .

These experiences made Kino think that the plague beast fighters all had similar characteristics, they were a type of arms that relied entirely on physical strength to fight, with great strength, fast speed, and high defense, that's all.

But now it seems that this is a wrong perception.

There is no doubt that the bodily functions of plague beasts are extremely powerful, but some ultra-high-level plague beasts, such as the sixth sequence like Edward, not only have a strong physical combat ability, but they also have energy killing methods, enough to To deal with thousands of troops.

Chino stared sideways at Edward, it seemed that he had to be more careful with this man in the future.

After the sky filled with crow feathers gathered, Edward had already released the plague beast form, and his complexion looked normal, as if slaughtering thousands of people was effortless, as simple as eating and drinking water.

"You don't look surprised," Edward said flatly.

There was no expression on Chino's face: "I was just thinking, you have wiped out all the horse bandits who were ordered to rob, how can we find clues about Hu Shanrong next."

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool." Edward smiled shortly, and took the lead to walk to the height of the oasis.

Leaving the edge of the oasis, Kino understood what he was talking about.

In the massacre just now, Edward did not wipe out all the horse bandits, but deliberately kept alive, who was the bandit leader of this horse bandit team of thousands.

Even though the bandit leader has rich combat experience and excellent psychological quality, he has never encountered such a terrifying transcendent as Edward. Surrounded by the carbonized corpses of his companions, he slumped on the ground and was at a loss for a while.

Edward stepped forward and kicked the bandit leader on the shoulder, trampled him to the ground, and asked without any emotion, "Who sent you here?"

The bandit leader's eyes wandered, and he asked in a deep voice, "I told you, you will let me go?"

Edward sneered and said, "Even if I say yes, would you believe me?"

Bandit leader: "I don't believe it."

Edward: "Then what are you asking?"

The bandit leader's eyes widened when he heard this, his temper also turned up, and his face was full of death-like expression: "Anyway, I'm dead, why should I inform you!"

Kino smiled and said, "There are different ways of dying, comfortable and uncomfortable. You can't choose life or death, but you can choose how to die."

The bandit leader yelled righteously: "It doesn't matter how you die, I am not afraid! I belong to the vulture tribe under the command of the Holy Lord of the Desert, and the blood of the horse king flows in his body. The proud son of the emperor who gallops in the desert never surrenders!"

Chino: "Do you know who I am?"

The bandit leader stared and cursed, "None of my business!"

Kino: "I'm Kino Van Helsing."

The bandit leader collapsed immediately, and begged: "I'll say. I'll say anything. You can ask whatever you want."

Edward raised an eyebrow at Chino, and Chino shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness. It seems that he is well known for being good at torture.

Edward looked at the bandit leader and asked straight to the point: "Are you following us all the way? Or did someone send you here?"

The bandit leader swallowed his throat and said in a low voice: "There is no follow-up. Someone tied a letter to an arrow and shot it into our camp. The location marked on the letter is this oasis, saying that there is a lot of money to be robbed. "

Edward gave him a kick: "What do you believe in what the letter says? A team of thousands of people really rushed over? You take me for a fool, don't you?"

The bandit leader hurriedly explained: "We wouldn't believe it in normal times, but there was a golden moon in that letter. Golden moon! This is already worth the profit we got from robbing and killing large caravans!"

"With this golden moon as a guarantee, no matter whether the 'big fortune' mentioned in the letter is true or not, I will definitely bring people over to have a look, right? But who knows that I will run into you two."

Rather believe it, this explanation makes sense.

Edward thought for a while, walked to Kino and said in a low voice: "We assume that the person who shot the letter was Hu Shanrong. He knew that he couldn't easily get the ransom, so he specially chose this oasis far from the border of the kingdom as the trading location."

"But he didn't show up in person, but informed the horse bandits that they would come here to rob money."

Edward seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the bandit leader again: "Have you reached any agreement with the person who wrote the secret letter? The stolen money will be divided proportionally?"

The horse bandit simply shook his head: "There is no agreement, and we have never seen the person who wrote that letter."

Suddenly, the horse bandit felt that the back of his neck was pinched by Edward's big hand, and he squeezed the neck bone with great pain, and he screamed: "I have never seen it before! I have become like this, and I lied to you what?"

Edward was silent for a moment, then let go of his hand and looked at Kino: "That's not right. Hu Shanrong's purpose was to pay the ransom, but he didn't reach a cooperation with the horse bandit. So what if the horse bandit snatched the ransom? Hu Shanrong won't pay for a single moon coin." If you can’t share it, the ransom will all go to the horse bandit, so what’s the use of his series of plans?”

Kino pondered, thoughtfully: "Could it be that Hu Shanrong got the ransom from the horse bandit first, made sure we weren't watching and following him, and then attacked and killed the horse bandit camp in the middle of the night, took advantage of the chaos to snatch the ransom, and fled ?”

This provided Edward with a new idea, adding a layer of turnover in the middle, let the horse bandit steal the money first, and then rob the horse bandit. This is indeed a good anti-tracking method.

But after careful consideration, Edward still had doubts: "From the perspective of motivation, there is no problem, but Hu Shanrong is not a top-notch powerhouse. He can deal with hundreds of people at most at the same time. His strength should not be strong enough to forcibly kill a camp guarded by a thousand horse bandits."

Thinking of this, Edward suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He grabbed the bandit leader and asked, "Is there any place to live between this oasis and your camp?"

Although the terrain of the desert is complicated, the bandit leader was born and grew up here, and since the surrounding area is a hundred miles away where he often moves, he naturally knows the terrain like the palm of his hand.

The bandit leader replied without hesitation: "Yes, our camp is located 77 miles to the north, and there is an oasis 53 miles to the northwest, which is very close to our return route."

Edward: "Take us to that oasis, right now!"
