Chapter 161: The Ma Family Trio, the Dangerous Box

Upon hearing this news, Su Jinlong narrowed his eyes.

They arrived so quickly? It had only been one day since the news of Ma Zhen's death reached Jingdu, and they had already rushed over?

Being in such a hurry, it seems the people of the Ma Family are indeed quite angry.

Su Jinlong nodded: "Mm."

After responding, he turned and walked out.

At this very moment, in the Night Watcher sub-bureau, the atmosphere was extremely grim; almost all the temporary Night Watchers were present.

Everyone dared not even breathe loudly, watching the three people at the entrance with trepidation.

The three were dressed in long black robes with their hat brims pulled very low, and their bodies emitted a strange odor, like a mixture of temple incense and perfume; those who liked it loved it, while those who didn't would avoid it just by catching a whiff.

In the middle position, there was also a large cabinet; the cabinet was rectangular and very large, about 1.5 meters long and a full half-meter wide.

From time to time, the cabinet would emit a series of tremors and eerie roars.

It was as if some ferocious creature was locked inside.

The three did not speak, just standing there quietly, with Zhang Miao staring at them from the front.

Not only had her teacher told her that the people of the Ma Family were lunatics, but she had also often heard this while she was in the Special Dragon Team.

This group of lunatics would sometimes even ignore the law to do certain outrageous things!

Neither the military nor the Night Watchers liked dealing with them.

"Would you like to come in and sit down first?" Zhang Miao, seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, spoke tentatively.

The three said nothing.

Since arriving here, they had been standing for a long time, and from beginning to end, they had not spoken a word.

At first, some people took them for lunatics, but fortunately, Zhang Miao saw them in time.

Seeing that they ignored her, Zhang Miao smiled awkwardly.

Suddenly, one of them looked up.

Staring at Zhang Miao with both eyes, it made the latter feel as if she had been locked onto by a starving wolf in the darkness.

"Are you Zhang Miao?" He spoke, his voice indescribably low.

Zhang Miao pursed her lips and nodded.

Whoosh—

This person suddenly rushed out, moving very fast, and with one hand, he instantly grabbed Zhang Miao by the throat and lifted her up.

The sudden move shocked the rest of the Night Watchers.

One by one, they retreated sharply and then warily sized up the other party, yet no one dared to step forward to intervene.

They were all temporary Night Watchers; there was no need to risk their lives for others.

Zhang Miao, being choked by the throat, wanted to mobilize her Ghost Energy, but found herself locked down by something and unable to move.

In her struggle, she caught a glimpse of her teammates from the corner of her eye, who were also from the Special Dragon Unit.

Several people wanted to come up to help, but were locked onto by the gazes of the other two Ma Family members.

Cold sweat dripped down; it felt as if the moment they made a move, they would be torn to shreds by starving wolves in the next second.

"What are you doing? We are the official Special Dragon Unit. Have you considered the consequences of laying a hand on us!"

"Don't think that just because you are from the Ma Family, you can act recklessly!"

Taking action was naturally impossible.

With their strength, they would likely be dealt with by the Ma Family members the moment they made a move.

Among these three, the one with the lowest strength was at the peak of C-Rank, and the other two had strength that couldn't even be determined.

However, they ignored his verbal threats.

Instead, they asked coldly: "Inside the Infernal Domain, Ma Zhen told you to do something, why didn't you obey? Who do you think you are, daring to contradict someone from my Ma Family? You are nothing but a military dog of the Special Dragon Unit."

"If he tells you to die, you must die. Do you understand what I mean?"

The right hand exerted a slight force, and a series of bone-cracking sounds came from Zhang Miao's neck. The next moment, it seemed it would be snapped.

Her breathing was already failing, and her feet struggled and flailed in the air.

Seeing the light in her vision fading bit by bit, about to become darkness.

A sound of something breaking through the air suddenly arrived.

Immediately, a pair of large hands reached out from the water stains on the ground, grabbed Zhang Miao, and dragged her directly into the water stains.

But this Ma Family member still did not let go, causing his body to be dragged halfway in as well.

He felt not the slightest fear, but instead gave a cold laugh: "How did you, this filthy thing, come here too? Truly damn unlucky!"

He cursed under his breath.

Immediately after, a light flashed on his chest, and the tattoo began to spiral and crawl along his skin.

A black tail could be seen flashing past his neck.

Then, a roar erupted from his body, and he jumped up directly from the ground.

He reached out and flicked his hand, and a mass of black stuff directly pierced into that puddle of water.

The water stain quickly disappeared, merging into the ground.

This tattooed Ghost Tamer of the Ma Family narrowed his eyes and looked around: "What are you doing here, you filthy thing? Or have you been following us all along?"

Drip—

Beside them, a drop of water fell from the roof of the Night Watcher sub-bureau.

It quickly formed a human shape.

This man had long hair and a handsome, dashing face.

At this moment, he stared at the three of them with a cold sneer: "Do I need a bunch of horses like you to manage where I go? Since when do beasts manage humans?"

The expressions of the three Ma Family members darkened.

One of them even reached his right hand toward the cabinet, and the cabinet, sensing his hand reaching over, actually began to tremble.

It became increasingly frantic.

The long-haired man narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "You beasts had better think clearly about what opening that thing means. If it leads to an uncontrollable outcome later, let's see how you go back and answer to Old Master Ma!"

Upon hearing this, the tattooed man in front waved his hand, signaling the person behind him not to act.

Seeing this gesture, the long-haired man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Ma Family people really opened the cabinet, that would be truly dangerous; fortunately, this group of lunatics still had some brains.

"Bringing such an uncontrollable thing with you, no wonder they call you beasts; not a single brain cell." The long-haired man jumped down from above.

Every word and sentence was full of mockery and abuse.

The tattooed man also cursed back: "If you, you filthy thing, dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I'll turn you into a puddle of piss today! And then piss you out?"

Zhang Miao reappeared, standing behind them.

She didn't know these people, but she could feel their immense strength; the two leading men probably had A-Rank strength, right? These were top-tier powerhouses even in the entire Great Xia Nation.

"So scary, can a horse piss 1000ml at once? Honestly, I really want to see." The long-haired man shrugged his shoulders; when it came to trash-talking, he was sorry to say he had never lost.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Xiao Yun. You must be Zhang Miao, right?" Xiao Yun turned around and smiled, extending his hand.

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly reached out: "H-hello, are you also from the Special Dragon Unit?"

Xiao Yun nodded: "Not exactly, but you can just consider me one of our own. I'm here to handle things for the teacher."

The teacher's person!

Zhang Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Yun, my Ma Family people are here to recover Ma Zhen's Ghost and also to contain the Demon Bear. What are you here for?"

Xiao Yun grinned: "Me? My purpose for being here is to not let you recover Ma Zhen's Ghost, and also to be friends with the Demon Bear."
