Chapter 896: 463 Hunting Grounds (4000)_2 Chapter 896: 463 Hunting Grounds (4000)_2 Anyway, the blue-eyed hunters were still in a watchful state, having not made contact with the clinic. After all, although the doctors at these clinics were slaughtering dark creatures, their own demeanors were nothing like those of benevolent individuals. The act of massacring the Blood Clan seemed like a monster from the darkness killing another kind of monster. It was like wolves, dangerous carnivores, being killed by tigers, even more superior and dangerous carnivores. Sheep couldn’t possibly grow fond of the tiger that killed their enemy, the wolf, to the extent of walking straight into the tiger’s jaws.

The blue-eyed hunters were respectfully observing from the shadows, waiting.

In the open courtyard, a man with deep blue eyes and a bearded face walked into the building and quickly came out. He had seen the pitiful state of several lower-ranking members of the Blood Clan, all reduced to skeletons without exception.

Recalling the previous blood-drenched battle scenes he had witnessed.

Dismemberment, beheadings, dissections, halves carved out, bone-extraction tortures…

The brutality and bloodshed of this mysterious force were evident.

“It’s this logo again, what does it mean?”

The bearded man walked step by step to the forefront of the white wall, looking at the wet, blood-red cross on the wall, the intense smell of blood hitting his nostrils.

“The Elders and the senior level are already investigating, and there should be some news soon,” he thought rapidly to himself, “If this is indeed a force we can collaborate with, it would undoubtedly be the best opportunity to break the Blood Clan’s dominion over the dark world in both Ming Mountain City and Jinghu City! Since Count Baine’s Manor was established on the outskirts of Ming Mountain City fifty years ago, the Blood Clans from all branches of the Li Empire have been arriving here incessantly, even considering Shire County as their frenzied hunting ground. Could it be that my clan has been holding steadfast…”

“I’m afraid, Ming Mountain City and Jinghu City have completely fallen. But the current situation isn’t much better, with those of the Blood Clan becoming more and more unrestrained. They even brazenly appear in public under the guise of human aristocrats and collectors. Especially Count Baine’s Manor, which serves as one of their transit and gathering places. Our clan has wanted to eliminate it since twenty years ago, but unfortunately, we lacked the strength. And Count Baine’s Manor continues to grow stronger, widening the gap… If these black-clothed people do indeed hate the Blood Clan that much, it might be worth aligning with the tiger to test the waters, to crush Count Baine’s Manor in one fell swoop…”

Thinking this, the bearded man of considerable standing among the mercury hunters was overcome with emotion. After several deep breaths, he stepped out of the door.

He headed in the direction the young girl had taken earlier.

The girl was one of the few ordinary humans who survived the actions of the mysterious force, perhaps she could shed some light on what exactly had happened?

Time flew, and it was dusk in the afternoon.

A panorama of sunset clouds settled at the base of the clouds, with the dying sun as red as blood.

A cloaked figure in black stood on the roof of the building, quietly looking downward. The doctors from the clinic frantically rushed into the building, some bare-handed, others gripping weapons, all with eyes red with blood.

Screams, groans, and wails of the Blood Clan soon echoed from within.

Until no sound came out at all.

About ten minutes later, the doctors from the clinic uniformly evacuated from the building. One of the squad leaders exchanged a glance with the leader of the Nine Snakes on the roof, shook his head to indicate that they had not found the trace of the magic box.

The hem of the cloak fluttered like floating dark clouds.

The dark-robed leader of the Nine Snakes struck the ground, her aura somewhat somber. She coldly said, “Continue! Even if we have to slaughter through both Ming Mountain City and Jinghu City, we must find the magic box within two days! We need to complete the task before the dean arrives in Shire County! If not achieved, then join me on the second level of the Wild Beast’s nest to be punished…”

As her words fell, every buffed tough guy there shuddered in their frames, their expressions showing rare signs of fear and anxiety, some swallowing dryly, others shaking their heads. Clearly, no one wanted to experience the punishment within the clinic’s Wild Beast’s nest.

It was said that the punishment not only included the original Demon Seed but also an infamous interrogation squad called Jackhead Four.

At that moment, all the tough guys were imbued with high morale, their killing intent boiling like fire.

“Slaughter through Ming Mountain City! Let the dean see what we are capable of!”

After a brief mobilization, the people at the clinic were ready to set out again.

However, Nine Snakes suddenly looked toward the door, where a bearded man had just walked in, smiling, “May we have a talk?”

Five minutes later, in a corner of the courtyard, the conversation was underway.

“I think you’ve misunderstood our intention. We are not mortal enemies of the Blood Clan, nor are we engaged in a plan against them. We are merely carrying out the tasks assigned by the head of the clinic. Anyone or any force that obstructs us must be crushed…”

Enveloped in his cloak, Nine Snakes’ voice was exceptionally cold.

“I understand, but you are looking for a certain magical antique, aren’t you? In Ming Mountain City and Jinghu City, the biggest antique collector is Count Baine. He’s a powerful member of the Blood Clan who arrived in Ming Mountain City fifty years ago. His greatest hobby is collecting unique antiques. Many from the Blood Clan collect antiques to please Count Baine, continually gifting them to the Count. That’s why many from the Blood Clan choose the identity of a collector in the public eye. So, if you really are looking for some rare and peculiar antiques, they are likely to have ended up in Count Baine’s hands, at Count Baine’s Manor…”

The bearded man spoke with meticulous logic. Their observations over the past day had nearly confirmed that the clinic was searching for something. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have kept targeting collectors and institutions.

“…”

Nine Snakes was silent for a while, and a hoarse female voice emerged from beneath the cloak.

“So where is Count Baine’s Manor?”

“It’s on the outskirts of Ming Mountain City, a very famous manor. Count Baine has a prominent identity in both the dark world and the public eye…”

The bearded man answered seriously.

“Very well, thank you for your intelligence.”

Nine Snakes spoke slowly, making the bearded man smile. However, Nine Snakes’ next words made the bearded man’s smile stiffen.

“But we do not require cooperation.”

The bearded man opened his mouth, “But now is actually the perfect time to attack Count Baine’s Manor. My clan has been preparing for this day all along, and we have a common goal, we could collaborate! My clan’s Thorny Mercury can weaken the Blood Clan’s abilities and even…”

His words were cut short by Nine Snakes raising her hand, “What I mean is, we at the clinic do not need any encumbrance. Count Baine’s Manor will be destroyed by us today! They will not tremble and die like straw…”

“Hehehe…” Evil laughter came from beneath the cloak.

“But,” the bearded man tried to speak again, but suddenly felt a terrifying aura rising from across, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end instantaneously.

In the dimness beneath the cloak, a pair of blood-red snake eyes lit up.

“Are you trying to compete with us for prey, blue-eyed boy…?”

The bearded man, stared down by the snake eyes, found himself unable to speak, overwhelmed by fear. He felt his limbs and back sweating and trembling.

After a brief three-second stare, Nine Snakes turned her head and said to the sky, “Fog Man, let’s go. Take all your subordinates straight to Count Baine’s Manor on the outskirts of Ming Mountain City, what we are looking for is likely there. Slaughter, conquest, plunder. Then offer the Magic Box to the master, I think, by then, the head of the clinic will be very pleased…”
