Chapter 114
114 Chapter 114: Giant Bats
Du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing got off the car and pushed aside the tall grass. What appeared in their eyes was a brand new ancient castle building. Surrounding this ancient castle was a man-made lake, a main road led straight to the ancient castle in the middle of the lake.
Surrounding this lake was a circle of flower beds that were neatly trimmed. It was the beginning of April, and the temperature had warmed up. The flowers in the flower beds were blooming brightly, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
This was the Black Manor!
This strange manor building had a beautiful scenery. Wasn’t it as eerie and terrifying as others described it to be!
Seeing this, Zhu Xiaoqing smiled, and Du Xiongwu also let out a slight sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, the driver suddenly started the car. The car backed up rapidly, and the front of the car turned sharply. It made a sharp turn, and a puff of black smoke spewed out from the exhaust pipe. The wheels of the car rubbed against the road, making a sizzling sound, the car disappeared into the dense grass like an arrow that had left the bow.
Du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing did not care about the driver driving the car away. The two of them looked at each other and took a step forward.
The appearance of this manor gave people a feeling of sunshine, but it was extremely quiet, so quiet that it made people feel lonely from the bottom of their hearts.
This was simply a contradiction.
The two of them walked along the path beside the flower beds by the lake. After walking for more than ten minutes, they finally arrived at the main road leading to the middle of the lake. They walked toward the ancient castle in the middle of the lake.
As they walked, a white-haired old man walked over with a pair of large shears that were used for pruning.
Seeing that someone was coming, the two of them felt even more relaxed.
The old man only took a glance at du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing. Then, he bent down, picked up the shears, and started pruning the messy flower beds on both sides of the main road.
When du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing passed by the old man, Zhu Xiaoqing gave the old man a disgusted look. The old man was dressed in shabby clothes, his hair was messy, and there was a faint stench coming from his body.
“Go back… go back…”
Zhu Xiaoqing and du Xiongwu naturally disdained to greet such a person, so they just walked straight past the old man. However, before they took a few steps, they heard the old man’s mumbling voice behind them.
The voice was extremely soft, just like the chirping of mosquitoes. If it was not for the silence in the surroundings, they would not have heard it at all. Perhaps, they might even think that they were hallucinating.
The two of them stopped and turned around to look at the old man. However, they saw that the old man had his mouth shut, and the scissors in his hand emitted a ‘Ka-cha-cha’sound.
Go Back?
Of course, it was impossible. Zhu Xiaoqing had already made up her mind that she would definitely go crazy when she saw a martial artist of the ninth rank.
After glancing at the old man, the two of them continued to move forward and even quickened their pace.
“Sigh.”
At this moment, the two of them heard a faint sigh coming from behind them.
The gate of the ancient castle was open. The two of them stepped onto the clean steps and walked into the gate of the ancient castle without hesitation.
After entering the gate, there was an extremely large space that appeared extremely clean and tidy. Other than a huge crystal chandelier, there was nothing else that could attract people. The place appeared extremely spacious, a large-scale party could be held here.
In front of them was a spiral staircase that led straight to the second floor.
When the two of them entered the door, a blonde man wearing a black suit appeared on the spiral staircase. He smiled at the two of them.
This young man was extremely handsome. His smile was very charming and gave people a kind and amiable feeling.
Zhu Xiaoqing and this young man exchanged a glance and lowered their heads shyly.
This young man’s gaze had a kind of aggressiveness to women.
“Welcome to the Black Manor.”The young golden-haired man glanced at the two of them and still maintained the smile on his face as he said indifferently.
“We, we are here to look for Mr. Frenzy.”Zhu Xiaoqing looked at this young man and spoke in fluent English.
The blond young man smiled and said, “I am frenzy. Why are you looking for me?”
Hearing the blond young man say that he was frenzy, Zhu Xiaoqing and du Xiongwu were both surprised.
Although they had heard that a martial artist of the ninth rank could maintain a youthful appearance, they did not expect him to be so young!
Speaking of which, frenzy was a martial artist of the first generation. Before the outbreak of the Ys virus, he was an adult man. His real age was more than a hundred years old.
“We… We want to ask Mr. Frenzy to help us kill a person. We are willing to pay some money.”Zhu Xiaoqing calmed her mind and spoke out her purpose of coming.
“Money, no! No!”Frenzy shook his head and said, “The money I have can buy half of Hero City. For Me, money can never be used up in several lifetimes. I don’t need money.”
“Then what do you want?”
Seeing frenzied staring at his wife, du Xiongwu was very unhappy and asked with a somewhat stiff tone.
Frenzied ignored du Xiongwu and still looked at Zhu Xiaoqing with a smile, “You have what I want, and I like it very much. As long as you are willing to give it to me, I will agree to your request. In this world, there is no one that I can not kill.”
The corners of Crazy’s mouth curled up after he finished speaking.
At this time, Zhu Xiaoqing saw the desire of a man for a woman in Crazy’s eyes, and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Du Xiongwu frowned and immediately pulled Zhu Xiaoqing’s hand. He said to crazy, “Since you don’t like money, we have nothing to give you. Goodbye!”
After saying that, du Xiongwu pulled Zhu Xiaoqing and walked out.
Frenzy didn’t stop the two from leaving.
“Hu!”
When du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing reached the door, a gust of wind suddenly sounded, and a black shadow suddenly covered the top of their heads.
“Pu!”
Immediately after, the sound of heavy objects landing on the ground was heard.
The moment the black shadow that suddenly appeared landed on the ground, du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing finally saw clearly that the huge black shadow that appeared was actually a huge exotic beast.
It was a huge bat. When it retracted its wings, its body was even bigger than an elephant. Its body was covered in scales and was extremely shiny.
“Si ~”
As soon as the huge bat landed on the ground, it opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry to the two of them.
Hearing this sound, du Xiongwu and Zhu Xiaoqing covered their ears in pain, feeling as if the world was spinning.
This was a powerful sound wave attack. Zhu Xiaoqing could not take it and suddenly fainted on the ground.
Seeing his wife faint, du Xiongwu turned his head and looked inside the door. Seeing frenzied looking at him with his mouth curled up, he gritted his teeth and let go of the hand covering his ears. He picked up his knife from the ground and jumped up high, he slashed at the giant bat.
“Si ~”
At this moment, the giant bat let out an even sharper sound.
Du Xiongwu’s body was in the air. It was as if his body had hit a soft wall, and his body was bounced back. Due to the powerful sound wave attack, he was also dizzy at this moment, and he became muddle-headed.
“Hu!”
At this moment, the giant bat flapped its wings and pounced toward du Xiongwu who had fallen to the ground.
Du Xiongwu instinctively raised his saber and slashed.
“Pu!”
This slash seemed weak and powerless to the giant bat. It did not even hurt the giant bat’s fur.
Meanwhile, the giant bat used one of its hind claws to grab du Xiongwu and quickly flew high into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it was more than a hundred meters high in the sky.
Being blown by the cold wind in the sky, du Xiongwu finally woke up.
