Chapter 2668: Traitor

The steam train was like a steel monster, breaking through the thick fog and speeding along the tracks.

In VIP cabin No. 2, the lights were bright. Su Xiao held a metal ball in his hand, twisting it with his hand. This thing was called the Eye of Mystery. With Su Xiao's current level of alchemy, dismantling the Eye of Mystery carried the risk of not being able to put it back together, but with the splicing in the form of twisting, it was still fine.

Su Xiao found that there was no need to dismantle the Eye of Mystery at this stage. The initial perfection of this thing was somewhat similar to solving a Rubik's cube. Every few twists, he needed to perceive the internal structure inside. This process was not only perfecting the Eye of Mystery but also understanding this thing, so that after it was completed to a certain extent, he could enter the dismantling stage.

Amu and Baja were sleeping soundly on the opposite seats. Ta Bald and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang were in the 'first-class cabin', where the view was wide and the air was fresh, except for the strong wind.

The reason why Su Xiao went to find the 【Watcher Relic】 last was mainly because he was not sure he could find that thing. Benefits in hand were his own. He would collect the relics with known locations first, which was the safest.

If he sold all the God Hunter relics in his hand, Su Xiao's current World Reputation could reach 3748 points, which was still a bit short of the expected goal.

Su Xiao took out a hunter badge. The owner of this hunter badge was named Adam. Although he was an Old Hunter, if he didn't lose control within a few years, there would be one more God Hunter. After Adam was eroded by the 'Root of Fusion', he didn't become stronger, but weaker.

Su Xiao had always wanted to determine one question, which was whether Adam being eroded by the 'Root of Fusion' was really an accidental event?

Regarding luck, Su Xiao had self-knowledge. For example, in the previous world, the Zerg he summoned pushed through the trial area, and he only obtained a few Scarlet Cards. According to the Reincarnation Paradise notification, the drop rate of Scarlet Cards from killing contractors was as high as 52.7%.

But this time, Su Xiao had only entered this world for two days, and through Adam's death, he learned of the existence of the 'Root of Fusion'. This kind of luck was already somewhat beyond the scope of good luck.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Su Xiao felt that it seemed like someone was pushing all of this. As for what the other party was plotting, Su Xiao didn't have the ability of prophecy, so he couldn't think of it for the time being.

Just as Su Xiao was deep in thought.

Thud, thud, thud~

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog head poked down from above the window. Finding Su Xiao looking over, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang retracted its head with a 'whoosh', and after a while, it started knocking on the window with a 'thud, thud, thud', very naughty.

When the steam train drove out of the thick fog, it was already 2:00 AM. After passing through four stations, it arrived at Dawn City at 6:00 AM.

The fishy and salty sea breeze blew. In the station, one could see the distant sea. The sun rose from the sea level, dyeing the sea surface a pale gold, like a scene in a painting.

The beautiful scenery of Dawn City was very famous. What was even more famous was the chaos here. More than 500 years ago, when various countries were still in the cold weapon + navigation era, pirates were rampant in Dawn City.

Don't think that these pirates were a mob. During their strongest period, even the Rhine Kingdom couldn't do anything about them. They established a pirate country, which led to them going to war with the Rhine Kingdom.

Pirates going to war with the Rhine Kingdom, of course, couldn't fight at sea. After all, they wanted to grab territory. The result was that they were taught a lesson by the Third Legion of the Rhine Kingdom. After clearing out a part of them, the remaining pirates honestly washed their hands and became the naval force of the Rhine Kingdom.

Initially, this island was named Black Flag Island, but this name would immediately make people think of pirates. After discussion by the rulers of the Rhine Kingdom, it was renamed Dawn City.

Even after washing their hands many times, the folk customs of Dawn City were difficult to change. Here, force was worshipped, coupled with the terrain of the port that was convenient for running away, the degree of chaos could be imagined.

Just out of the steam train station, a dirty and messy street appeared in front of him. If Fog City was the biological son of the Rhine Kingdom, then Dawn City was the one sent for topping up the phone bill.

Regarding the intelligence of the 【Watcher Relic】, Su Xiao only knew that this thing was in Dawn City, and nothing else.

Su Xiao didn't believe he was the first to come to Dawn City to look for the 【Watcher Relic】. That thing had extraordinary significance to the Watcher Guild, and it was very likely that hunters had been sent to Dawn City to look for it many times.

Su Xiao was not good at finding hunter relics. This was not important. He had brought someone who was good at finding hunter relics. It was not Ta Bald, but another person, someone who had absolutely nothing to do with the Watcher Guild. Baja had fought with the other party and injured the other party, obtaining the other party's bloodstains, which was enough.

Finding an inn to stay temporarily, with nothing to do, Su Xiao took out a broken piece of paper. On it, a formation could be faintly seen. This was found in the shelter, and he had been studying it for several days, but hadn't found anything. The traces on it were too blurry.

"Um~"

Ta Bald sat on the floor, hands on his knees, and began to think about what to do next. After thinking for a while, his bloated 'pumpkin helmet' drooped, and snoring came from inside.

The reason why Su Xiao didn't go to find the 【Watcher Relic】 was because in the absence of any clues, wandering around aimlessly was very unwise. He had already sent a message to the Watcher Guild headquarters, asking the headquarters to send more than 30 Old Hunters to assist.

This assistance application was not important; it was for the enemy to see. Su Xiao wanted to find the 【Watcher Relic】 through the enemy.

The Dark Prison faction was better at finding hunter relics because they had the 'Root of Fusion'. What Su Xiao needed to do was to bring the people of the Dark Prison faction to Dawn City, tell the other party that the 【Watcher Relic】 was here, and then it would depend on the enemy's performance and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's tracking ability.

Drip, drip, drip.

The communicator in Su Xiao's arms rang, and it was a signal sent by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, meaning that it was already prepared.

Su Xiao took out a small bottle the length of a little finger, switched titles, and poured out the bloodstains in the small bottle.

Pop~

The blood rippled in the air. The title ability 'Blood Mark (Active)' was activated. Soon, Su Xiao judged the general direction of the enemy.

Contacting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, letting Xiang Bubu track along this general direction, about ten minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang sent back news that it had found the target.

Learning this news, Su Xiao's eyes opened. He didn't cancel the 'Blood Mark (Active)' effect. This title ability could last for 12 hours. Although it could only track the general direction of the enemy, it was also very important.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already started tracking on that side. Thoughts raced through Su Xiao's mind. First of all, the enemy didn't know that the 【Watcher Relic】 was in Dawn City before. In other words, the traitor within the Watcher Guild was not as difficult to deal with as imagined. At least the other party was not a high-level member of the Watcher Guild. Those ordinary people among the high-level members all knew that the 【Watcher Relic】 was in Dawn City.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's train of thought broadened a lot. That traitor could send a silver-haired hunter, which was an Old Hunter, to assassinate him. The other party's status within the Watcher Guild was definitely not low.

A very high status, but not knowing too many secrets, coupled with the simple structure of the Watcher Guild, Su Xiao's gaze turned to Ta Bald. A God Hunter satisfied both points: 'very high status', 'not knowing too many secrets'.

God Hunters were different from the high-level members of the Watcher Guild. Some secrets, God Hunters didn't need to know. God Hunters often fought with the Dark Prison faction. Once the enemy took away their heads, it was very likely that secrets would be leaked.

The somewhat simple-minded Ta Bald didn't need to be suspected, but another God Hunter, Hyena Fox · Yas, was different. Hyena Fox · Yas was fully capable of sending an Old Hunter.

As soon as this conjecture appeared, Su Xiao's first thought was to kill this guy as soon as possible. He was not a partner of justice and didn't need any evidence. By the time he collected evidence that Hyena Fox · Yas was a traitor, the daylily would have withered.

Moreover, this guy had always been playing soy sauce. As a God Hunter, although Ta Bald was a bit simple-minded, he was running all over the world, patrolling what the Dark Demons and Ghosts were doing.

Hyena Fox · Yas never dreamed that he hadn't met Su Xiao yet, but he was already being arranged.

"Um!"

Ta Bald suddenly tilted his head, as if he had been startled awake. Finding Su Xiao sitting opposite, he immediately pretended to be thinking, as if he hadn't fallen asleep just now. But after thinking for more than ten seconds, his helmet drooped and he fell asleep again.

Just as Su Xiao was preparing to order breakfast, the communicator in his arms rang, flashing red light. This meant that the enemy had found the location of the 【Watcher Relic】.

Learning this, Su Xiao was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the time. The enemy had only been in Dawn City for about an hour, and the efficiency was amazing.

"Bald, wake up."

"Um? Is it dawn?"

"..."

Su Xiao pushed the door and left the room. Amu and Baja followed. After Ta Bald was dazed for a while, he also followed quickly.

At the same time, in the southeast corner of Dawn City, in front of a basement door, several bloodstains were distributed nearby. A total of three Dark Demons were guarding this narrow alley that was rarely visited. A figure walked into the narrow alley. Seeing this, the three Dark Demons became vigilant. One of the Dark Demons spoke:

"Don't forget the reward you promised..."

The person who came just smiled and didn't pay much attention to these three Dark Demons, and pushed open the basement door.

Several translucent phantom shadows were floating in the basement. More than a dozen corpses were lying on the ground. They had no wounds on their bodies, and the expressions frozen on their faces were very terrified, as if they wanted to shout but couldn't.

"Rhine has also declined."

As if sighing, and as if teasing, Douglas walked into the basement and stopped in front of a pitch-black underground passage. Not far from him was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was looking around. ===== CHAPTER 2669 =====
