Chapter 125: Black Castle of Thorns

The man turned around and swung his sword in an arc, barely holding the scorpion-tailed leopard back.

The leopard's claws grabbed the knife, and cracks appeared on the blade. The man's eyes twitched violently.

The scorpion-tailed leopard suddenly stood up, raised its two huge front paws that were flashing with cold light, and slapped Evander's head hard!

It's over! His pupils suddenly constricted, and with the strength of his dying breath, he struggled upwards and fell backwards.

He used his hands and feet to escape, but the scorpion-tailed leopard still pounced on him and bit his neck!

The teeth were sharp, and Evander felt pain. He raised his hand and grabbed the man's head, not caring about the flesh on his neck that was bitten, and smashed it to the ground.

He tried to chop the leopard with the big knife in his hand, but the creature swung its tail hard!

Evander screamed in surprise after being hit, and rolled over into the weeds to create some distance.

Ignoring the pain, he quickly stood up and quickly found a tree to climb up.

The scorpion-tailed leopard quickly gave chase and stopped in front of a tree, obviously observing a point to gain leverage.

Evander didn't see the thing coming up, so he looked up and saw that the white-skinned young man not only had no intention of stepping forward to intervene, but was also moving towards the left.

The voice roared, its tone changing with urgency: "Hey - are you leaving just like that?"

He roughly wiped the rain off his face again, grimacing as the wound was pulled, and dared not move again.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was completely dark and pitch black.

Tu Xing paused slightly, actually because the two had run too far and he was too lazy to chase them.

Looking back, I went in that direction, but didn't find the medicine I needed, nor did I find Xiesang. Besides, Evander was not only of no help, but also caused trouble from time to time, which was quite a burden.

Now, Tu Xing raised his eyes and said loudly: "Five gold coins!"

Evander gritted his teeth, "Deal!"

After that, Tu Xing moved, strolling as if in the backyard, muttering a spell under his breath, and raised his sickle.

The scorpion-tailed leopard opposite was on full alert and roaring angrily.

Strangely enough, although there wasn't much fighting, it seemed to understand that the skinny one was not to be trifled with, and was gradually retreating.

A small blade under Tu Xing's feet disappeared into the darkness.

He suddenly sprinted, less than three meters away, with the sickle raised in his hand.

The manticore was still slowly retreating, as if extremely frightened, but in an instant, it swept its tail towards the young man!

The sound of "bang--" vibrates the eardrum.

The next second, a broken tail on the ground jumped several times, looking indescribably weird.

Immediately afterwards, the irregular piece of flesh fell down after being split in half, and the dirty blood flowed, corroding the plants underneath.

Strands of black-green light spontaneously gathered around the young man's waist.

Tu Xing glanced at the groove of the magic blade and saw the blue diamond absorbing it.

At the same time, a small blade sank into a puddle, and when the blood stains on it dissolved, it flew up, washed away by the rain, and quickly returned to the young man's pocket.

Evander rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked around again, and finally stared at the sickle.

He stumbled down from the tree and walked awkwardly to the front of the group, his expression exaggerated: "The cut surface is really neat, where did such a sharp weapon come from?"

Tu Xing didn't answer, but simply spread out his hands, "Five gold coins."

Evander tutted, but still took out five from his pocket, his face full of pain.

"Thankfully, the war yielded a bountiful harvest. How could you, a favored minister, be short of gold?"

Tu Xing waited for five seconds for the rain to wash it away, then took it in his hand and put it in his bag.

"The treasury is empty, and His Majesty is still waiting for me to collect gold coins from everywhere."

The man's face was wrinkled like dried orange peel, full of ravines. "You want to raise money for the Sultan?"

He paused, "You consider the entire palace your own to manage?"

Evander's face was full of absurdity. "Do you really think of the Sultan as your husband? Are you the queen?"

Tu Xing interrupted impatiently, "Partner."

"According to you, those who try every possible means to obtain rewards from His Majesty are—traitors to the nation?"

Without waiting for an answer, Tu Xing pointed at the people and emphasized: "To find them quickly, separate them."

After saying this, he strode forward.

During the conversation, the green light was completely absorbed.

From behind, Evander's footsteps approached, and the heavy sound of the big man stepping on branches could be heard.

"Hey! Come on, there are only two people coming in this time. I've been in here at least once before."

"If I go to a familiar place, I can explain it."

Tu Xing glanced at him from behind, mainly looking at the injury on his neck:

"If we don't stop the bleeding quickly, it will attract more beasts."

Evander covered his hands with his hands. "There's nothing we can do. There's no place to hide from the rain to get a bandage to stop the bleeding... The rain is so heavy, it should be diluted."

He took a few quick steps and asked, "Is it because of the bleeding that we have to separate?"

Tu Xing said expressionlessly: "You still follow me even though you know that?!"

Evander's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but after realizing the current situation, his expression turned ingratiating.

"Having one more person is always better than you being alone. I'm still very strong, but the ones here are generally stronger."

This time, Tu Xing didn't say anything and concentrated on moving forward. He was now going around a hill.

Suddenly, the view opened up and a castle stood before my eyes. It was pitch black and shaped like a pot-bellied vase, surrounded by black thorn bushes.

Tu Xing blinked, "This is rare, there are actually buildings."
