C1884 Black Man
Following that, just as Kong Wu Chen was about to catch up to him, Lin Long discovered a few more fierce beasts and rushed over.
However, what made him depressed was that because Kong Wu was too restricted in his pursuit, he was unable to surround all the berserk beasts. As a result, he was surrounded by a single berserk beast.
This Kong Wu naturally couldn't be compared to the Yang Yun from before. Thus, being surrounded by this vicious beast was the same as giving Kong Wu no chance.
Kong Wu quickly killed the fierce beasts that were trapping him and then caught up with Lin Long.
After Lin Long finished off the fierce beast, he also stood in front of Lin Long.
"Boy, you really know how to run. If you were an ordinary person, you would have already run away!" Staring at Lin Long, Kong Wu said coldly.
What he hated the most right now was naturally Hu Wen, who had thrown out the rune bomb. It was just that Hu Wen had escaped too fast just now, so he had no choice but to chase after Lin Long.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Kong, I just happen to know a bit of movement technique." Lin Long laughed.
"Do you want to surrender yourself or do you want me to do it?" Kong Wu said coldly.
"This... I think it's better for me to surrender. I'll give you the Runic Wood Sword in my hand. " Lin Long said helplessly.
Because he hadn't mastered the rune stone sword yet, he could only use the rune wood sword.
With that, he made a gesture to throw the rune wooden sword over, and in the next moment, he turned around and ran again.
"Brat, you really want to die!" Kong Wu was infuriated.
He immediately chased after Lin Long.
This time, he was naturally able to quickly catch up to Lin Long. Only, after chasing after him for a few steps, he immediately stopped, because he discovered that there were two people in front of him. One of them was Hu Wen, who had just escaped, and the other person was dressed in black.
However, the powerful aura exuded from the other party's body made him alarmed.
This person's strength was definitely above his, he exclaimed in his heart.
Taking the chance, Lin Long immediately hid behind the two of them. Just now, he suddenly turned around and fled, because he felt the person behind him.
"Who are you?" Kong Wu said coldly as he stared at the man in black.
"Someone who killed you." The man said.
His voice was incomparably hoarse, and Lin Long was simply unable to discern his age.
"Let me die?" Kong Wu was startled, but he quickly continued, "I am Teacher Yao Hong Sheng's man. Aren't you afraid that the Elders and Principal will pursue the matter if you kill me?"
"As long as we don't let them know." The man in black wearing the bamboo hat suddenly smiled.
Hearing his words, Kong Wu's face changed drastically as he turned to flee. However, even though he had taken out his fastest speed, he was still stopped by the black-clothed man in front of him.
So fast! The speed of the black clothed man shocked Lin Long.
As soon as he stopped Kong Wu, the man in black pulled out the long sword from his waist and pointed it at him.
It was a silver longsword with the same runes engraved on it.
This should be the Silver Sword. The Silver Sword is stronger than the Iron Sword by a grade, Kong Wu Dao is no match for this person, Lin Long thought.
However, other than Yao Hongsheng, Fang Liang and the others who could only wield steel swords were in the Stone Wood World. How could this person stay in the Stone Wood World? Could it be that he had somehow snuck into the Stone Wood World?
Such suspicions flashed across Lin Long's mind again.
"Silver Sword!" Kong Wu's eyes narrowed as he also cried out in alarm. He then asked, "Who the hell are you?"
"You're going to die, why do you have so many reasons!" The man in black said coldly.
Then, he swung his sword at Kong Wu.
Kong Wu hastily brandished his steel sword to block, but how could he be a match for his opponent?
"Clang!"
With this sound, the metal sword in his hand was broken. In the next moment, the opponent's silver sword was pointed at his throat.
"No ?" Don't kill me! " Kong Wu said anxiously.
The black clothed man did not attack immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why are you chasing after those two?"
"It's because Captain Fang Liang told me to follow this Lin Li. He said that he wanted me to see if there was anything wrong with him. As for the specifics, I don't know either." Kong Wu quickly said.
After a short pause, he continued, "You know what happened after that."
"Is that so?" The black-clothed man said calmly.
Before he could finish his sentence, the sword in his hand moved, and Kong Wu's head fell to the ground.
Since Kong Wu is here to track me down, doesn't that mean Yao Hong Sheng and his men will be looking for trouble when he dies? At that moment, Lin Long was immediately worried.
After thinking about it, he decided not to say anything even if he was beaten to death. Anyway, he would just say that he didn't know. Those people probably wouldn't be able to do anything even if they didn't have any evidence.
Just as he was thinking about this, the man in black walked up to him.
"You're called Lin Li?" the man asked.
"Yes." Lin Long nodded.
"You gave Hu Wen a black ink stone to help him remove the blood essence from your rune sword?" the man asked.
"That's right."
"Then where did you get that black ink stone?" The other party asked again.
"I was lucky. They killed a giant spider and then dropped two Ink Stones. I picked one up while the others weren't paying attention." Lin Long said.
"Is that so?" The other party evidently did not believe him, as he stared at Lin Long and said, "Did you get it from being trapped in the stone wood man's tomb earlier?"
Could it be that this man also heard the rumors, Lin Long immediately said, "There is nothing here."
"Oh." After that, when the other party did not continue asking, Lin Long could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Then the other person said, "Take out your identity plate."
Although he was suspicious as to what the other party was planning to do, Lin Long still took out the identity token. After all, the other party was stronger than him.
After taking it out, Lin Long handed it over.
After receiving Lin Long's identity plate, the other party had immediately picked up the silver sword in his hand and placed it on Lin Long's identity plate. At this time, Lin Long could see a drop of blood on the silver sword fall towards his identity plate.
The silver sword had just killed Kong Wu, so there was no doubt that this drop of blood belonged to him.
"What are you doing?" Lin Long could not help but feel that the situation was bad.
The other party didn't answer him, but rather threw his identity card to Hu Wen on the other side.
Lin Long immediately turned his head to look, he realized that Hu Wen had taken out a bottle of medicinal liquid from his spatial ring. This medicinal liquid was different from the one that was used to purge the Runic Stone Sword's blood essence.
Hu Wen took out a drop of medicinal liquid from the bottle and dripped it onto Lin Long's identity plate.
After the medicine was applied, the drop of blood on the badge quickly disappeared, as if it had merged with Lin Long's badge.
"Uncle Hu, what's going on?" Lin Long asked again.
Hu Wen did not reply, but the black clothed man continued, "This way, your identity token will have Kong Wu's blood essence. Once the people from the Symbol Literature Academy check your identity card, you can imagine the consequences."
Hearing the other party's words, how could Lin Long not know why? His expression immediately changed, and directly asked: "You're threatening me?"
"No ?." The man in black shook his head, "I'm not threatening you, I just want you to do things for me. Also, you can't hide things from me, like my previous question!"
As he said that, the black-clothed man stared at Lin Long again. It was clear that he was suspicious of Lin Long's words before.
How would Lin Long admit it? He immediately replied, "It's indeed like that."
The man in black didn't continue, but said, "Then let's do it like this for today. You can pretend that you don't know anything when you get back. When that happens, Yao Hongsheng and the others won't make things difficult for you."
"Who the hell are you? What is it for? " Lin Long could not help but ask again.
Hearing Lin Long's words, the black clothed man said coldly, "Doing more and asking less is beneficial to you. Otherwise, how would you die otherwise, you wouldn't even know!"
Knowing that the other party wouldn't say anything, Lin Long didn't say anything further.
"Alright, you can leave now." The black-clothed man said again.
Hu Wen directly threw his identity card over, took the two people's identity cards and looked at them, then Lin Long left the place.
After returning to the camp, he took out his identity card to study it. He wanted to see if there was a way to clear out the blood essence within the medallion, so that the other party wouldn't be able to threaten him with this.
However, what made him helpless was that with his current strength, he was utterly incapable of doing so. In the end, he could only give up.
Then, he started to research on the Rune Stone Sword that had already cleared all the blood essence. Unknowingly, after two days, it was obvious that the Rune Stone Sword was harder to grasp than the Rune Wood Sword, but it was enough for Lin Long to master it in the next two days.
He was in his room, fiddling with the rune stone sword in his hand. The rune stone sword impressively shot out a beam of sword energy that cleaved through the air.
Lin Long put away the Rune Stone Sword and revealed a satisfied smile.
However, this was only his first time grasping it. He would still need some time to completely master this rune stone sword.
At this moment, knocking sounds came from outside the door.
"Lin Li, are you there?" At the same time, such a voice came from outside.
Lin Long could tell that it was Fang Liang's voice.
Looks like Yao Hong Sheng and Fang Liang had already discovered that Kong Wu had disappeared. Thinking this, Lin Long immediately opened the door, and sure enough, Fang Liang and a few others were standing outside.
"Shixiong Fang Liang, what's the matter?" Looking at the few of them, Lin Long pretended to be surprised.
Fang Liang and the others did not say anything as they walked in and closed the door. Fang Liang then asked coldly, "Lin Li, have you seen Kong Chang over the past few days?"
"Kong?" Who's Kong Wu? " Lin Long said with a confused look.
Seeing Lin Long like this, the faces of Fang Liang and the others twitched.
This brat did not even know who Kong Wu was, and this thought flashed across the minds of some people.
"Kong Wu is my subordinate, a member of the Stone Wood World Order. He has the strength of an Iron Sword." Fang Liang said.
As she said that, she stared at Lin Long, afraid that he was lying.
"Is that so ? What happened to him? " Lin Long asked with a face full of curiosity.
"He's missing." Fang Liang said.
He went missing when he was chasing you, Fang said.
Of course, he would not say such words out loud.
"If that's the case, isn't this a big matter?" Lin Long said with a face full of shock.
"Indeed, he's grown up. That's why we came over to ask you if you've seen him before." Fang Liang asked.
"No, I've been out for the past two days, but I've never seen anyone with the strength of an Iron Sword." Lin Long shook his head.
"Is that true?" a person beside Fang Liang asked.
"Absolutely!" Lin Long said with a serious expression.
Seeing that they did not manage to ask anything and were unable to see through Lin Long, Fang Liang and the others could only leave.
As soon as he left, he went to report to Yao Hongsheng.
Soon, he saw Yao Hongsheng.
Before he could open his mouth, Yao Hongsheng asked anxiously, "How is it, did you manage to get anything out of it?"
An Iron Sword disciple suddenly disappeared. In the Stone Wood World, this sort of thing was no small matter. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it.
"He said he didn't see Kong Wu, and we didn't see anything wrong with him." Fang Liang said.
"Is that so?" Yao Hongsheng frowned.
"Instructor Yao, should we go out and search for it? I have a feeling that something has happened to Kong Wu." Fang Liang said.
"Alright." Yao Hongsheng nodded and said, "However, let's gather everyone first."
Not long after, everyone in the camp was called to the training grounds to gather, and Lin Long was called over as well.
"What happened? Why did Teacher Yao suddenly gather us together?"
At this time, everyone on the training grounds was asking each other questions. However, who would give them the answer?
"Everyone, quiet down!" At this moment, Yao Hong, who was standing in front of them, said it loudly.
Hearing his words, everyone quieted down as their gazes focused on him.
Yao Hongsheng continued, "Which one of you has seen Kong Wu?"
No one made a sound for a while, only then someone said, "I saw him leave the south gate two days ago."
"What else did you see?" Yao Hongsheng's eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked that person.
"I also saw Guo Duo following beside him, and Guo Duo was still carrying his wolfhound." The man said again.
Hearing the other party's words, how could Yao Hong Sheng not know that Kong Wu was following Lin Long.1
If even Guo Duo and Guo Duo's wolfhound were brought along, then they would have gone to chase after Lin Li. Thinking about this, Yao Hong Sheng's gaze immediately shifted towards Lin Long.
With a single glance, he continued to ask, "Where did you see them go?"
"If my guess is right, it should be towards the Wu Yang Lake." That person said.
"What else?" Yao Hongsheng asked again.
"No more." The man shook his head.
"Is that so?" Yao Hongsheng nodded and looked at the others, "What about you guys, did you find anything?"
"Nope." The others all shook their heads.
"Alright, then you can leave now." Yao Hongsheng said.
"Could it be that Senior-apprentice Brother Kong is missing?"
"I don't know. It seems like it's possible."
"It's just that Shixiong Kong has the strength of an Iron Sword. Why would he go missing?"
"Who knows?"
The people who had left started to discuss amongst themselves.
Lin Long did not leave, because he knew that Yao Hongsheng would bring him to ask again. As expected, Fang Liang quickly walked over and said, "Follow me, Instructor Yao has something to ask you."
After following Fang Liang, Lin Long quickly arrived at the hall from before. At this time, there was only one person inside, and that was Yao Hongsheng.
