Chapter 221 The Mysterious Man
2 twenty chapters
Matsuno Mingqi did not make another shot but closely followed Ross and his party to Obik's residence.

Now Ross and his gang didn't do anything out of the ordinary. His rash action was not worth the loss. It's better to keep a distance and give the other party some deterrence.But still the same sentence, if Ross and his gang really have other plans, then Matsuno Mingqi will definitely make a move without hesitation.

Ross currently has no plans to enter into a deadly rivalry with Matsuno Mingqi and the Emperor Crocodile Pirates, so he decided to let Matsuno Mingqi do nothing, and followed Rex's leadership to go deep into the village.

There are many residents in the village, and the streets are crowded with people, which is a thriving scene. If Rex hadn't said it before, Ross would never have noticed that this group of people used to be slaves, oh no, they are still slaves now.

In addition, although it has been baptized for several years, it is still possible to observe the clues of the cruel massacre from some places.The old tree in front of a small fruit shop has luxuriant branches and leaves, but the trunk is densely covered with marks of being cut by knives. A wall not far diagonally opposite is also incomplete. It looks like it was attacked by artillery Pass.

"This seems to be Obic's hometown. When we sailed together in the early years, he told me a lot." Aivia said while looking around.

"Have you ever gone to sea together?" Ross was also dazzled, the village was still very lively, and it felt like a small town.

"Yeah, I accidentally rescued him on a pirate ship at that time, and we recuperated on that island together. After recovering from my injuries, I planned to move on. In order to thank me for saving my life, he wanted to send me off personally. Go. I didn’t know until later that he was going to another place along the way with me, so he said on the surface that he was taking me there, so he boarded my boat with a thick face.” Aivia smiled bitterly, thinking of the time he had spent together The day is very nostalgic.

Ross couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What an interesting guy, I can't wait to meet him."

Several people inadvertently quickened their pace.

Rex was very familiar with this place, and walked quickly with Ross and his party, while Crocodile and Daz Bonis followed slowly.

"Here, that's where Obic lives." Rex gasped, stopped, and pointed to a dilapidated small house in front of him.

"That guy... Isn't his dream to be a tavern owner, and listen to the stories of the drinkers' adventures on the great route in the tavern every day?" Aivia murmured.

"Broken." Rex lamented, "Since he failed to protect the village three years ago and watched the familiar village burn to ashes in the flames of war, he has collapsed."

A moment of silence.

A few people stood outside the hut, not knowing how to go in and face Obic.

"Let's go." It was Ross who broke the silence first, "There's no need to make it so heavy, don't forget that your two maids are also inside."

"Ha, that's right!" Aivia forced a smile, opened the door first and walked in.

Then, Ross, Teton, Nanai also entered one by one.

As for the two of Crocodile, they seemed to have no interest in this, but sat outside, talking to Matsuno Mingqi who was not far away like a joke.

"He's not here." Aivia looked around the small room. There was nothing in the room, which was extremely simple, and Obic and the two maids he had been thinking about day and night were not among them.

"Rex." Ross called Rex, waiting for Rex to say what was going on.

Rex patted his head and said, "They should be on the mountain."

"On the mountain?" Ross, who came out of the house, looked at the mountain covered with trees on one side, "Why is it there?"

Rex said: "Being repeatedly excluded in the village, Obic decided to take the two children who could be his daughters to the mountains, where they hunted for a living, and built a house, often staying in the In the mountains, I occasionally go into the village to buy some necessary daily necessities. I forgot before, since they are not here, they must be on the mountains."

"It's not too late, let's go." Ross stretched his body and said.

"It's time to say goodbye for now, boy Ross." Crocodile said suddenly.

"Are you finally going to leave after following us for so long?" Ross seemed to wish Crocodile could leave as soon as possible.

Crocodile also heard it, and felt a little embarrassed: "It's boring, just wait here for the arrival of Emperor Crocodile Boyin."

"In that case, should he go to us or come to you? If he goes to us, wouldn't you have to wait here for a while? You should follow up and save time." Ross said.

"...It seems that this is the only way to go." Crocodile shrugged, dispelling the idea of ​​being separated from Ross.

Matsuno Mingqi on one side heaved a sigh of relief... He was still a little worried that the two groups would be separated, if that was the case, it would be his turn to struggle, which group should he follow, fortunately, Ross is very 'understanding' , helped him solve the problem.

After taking some time, they left the village and headed up the hill.

The mountain is densely covered with jungle, the road is steep and ups and downs, and the howling of wild animals is heard from time to time. It is probably because of these reasons that there is no sign of people on the mountain.

"It's not bad to stay in the deep mountains and old forests. It's free and easy." Ross felt the silence in the forest, and he was still a little intoxicated.

"Easy? For ordinary people like Obic, just birds, beasts, insects and moths are enough for him." Aivia knows Obic quite well, and Obic has never planned to become a pirate or anything. It's not strong, and the purpose of going to sea is to return to his hometown. Let him hunt, and he probably can't stand it.

"So that's the case." Ross whispered to himself.

"Ang!" There was a rustling sound from the jungle not far away, and it was not difficult to judge that it was made by something walking through the jungle.

Ross's group and Crocodile's group reacted extremely quickly, and it was not yet possible to judge what was coming there, so they did not rush to meet it, but retreated to the sides first, avoiding the attack.

But at this time, the abnormality regenerated, and several consecutive sounds of arrow strings were heard, and then several black sharp arrows pierced through the air, approaching the crowd.

As soon as the howling sounded, Ross had already dissipated his sense of arrogance to perceive the surroundings, so before the arrow was shot, he sensed it. He calmly grabbed Nana's hand and stepped back again. He cut and hid behind a big tree surrounded by two people with arms closed.

"It's alright."

"It's okay." Nana shrank her head like a frightened kitten and shook her head, then took out the short stick from her waist, "What happened?"

"It's nothing, it doesn't look like an enemy." Ross came out from behind the tree, looked at the three tigers lying on the ground, and regained his composure, "He's helping us."
