The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 313 Graves Card Master
"Soul-eating Night!"

"Carnival time in the Shadow Isles!"

Huo Jixing suppressed the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart and quickly turned back to Bilgewater.

The clouds and mist quickly disappeared beside him, and the Blue Flame Islands came into view.

As soon as Huo Jixing returned to the tavern, he summoned Yosip.

When Yosip, dressed as a bartender, saw Huo Jixing, his expression was full of doubts.

"Have your people been sent out in the morning?" Huo Jixing said bluntly.

"I specially arranged it so that people can completely believe it." Yosip replied respectfully.

"Is there something wrong?"

"You can ask again."

In the dark alley, there is a black figure running in panic.

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly and gave instructions to Yosip.

Dusk hour.

"I also specifically asked the workers near the dock and learned that all the ships that went out in the morning were also missing, and no news was sent back."

"How can this be?"

But now, this nightmare had come early, catching him off guard.

"On some nights, a group of hungry souls wander forward in the billowing black mist."

Huo Jixing opened his eyes, and his gentle voice contained spiritual power that seemed to have materialized, soothing Yosip's uneasiness.

Yosip's expression suddenly changed, and his exclamations spread throughout the backyard of the tavern.

Behind him is a group of Hook Gang men armed with various weapons.

Downtown area.

The person in charge of the Leiser Guard Secret Office seemed to be inexplicably frightened, and he no longer looked as calm as before.

When Yosip returned to the tavern again, there was a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face.

Yosip's heart sank, thinking that something serious had gone wrong, so he immediately changed into casual clothes and left the tavern in person.

He stammered and whispered, his voice full of disbelief.

"Soul-Eating Night!?"

Yosip took a deep breath, bowed, and walked away, disappearing into the darkness behind the door.

In Bilgewater Bay, there are many Reiser garrison soldiers who hide their identities and are scattered in different places.

"All the people I sent out have lost contact." Yosip replied.

"It's Soul Eating Night!"

It was an endless nightmare, the release of the most terrifying power of Shadow Island.

The eyes of these guys flashed with fierce light, and their roars came one after another, like angry beasts, vowing to tear the black figure in front of them into pieces.

Because he could confirm from Huo Jixing's calm expression that the matter was true.

Huo Jixing frowned and thought to himself: Sure enough, there is something wrong with the black mist coming from Shadow Island.

He entered the room and after seeing Huo Jixing, he said in a hurry.

"Ok!"

Soul Erosion Night has been brought forward!
As the person in charge of the Reese Defense Secretariat in Bilgewater, he understood the meaning of Soul Eating Night very well.

He must convey the order as soon as possible, so that all the soldiers guarding Leiser can quickly assemble to prepare for the upcoming Soul Eating Night.

"Yes, Lord Huo Jixing."

"Sir, something is wrong!"

Yosip walked quickly while recalling past experiences.

Under the silent night.

"Immediately send the order to recall all the soldiers guarding Leise." Huo Jixing made a final decision.

In Huo Jixing's contemplation, time passed slowly.

Yosip tried to convince himself, but fell silent as he spoke.

Huo Jixing had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he finally told the current situation.

The torn red cloak on his body fluttered in the night wind, like a blood-stained flag stained with blood.

"what is the problem?"

"It's not yet time for Soul Erosion Night to begin."

"The black mist carries them across the sea to hunt creatures and strengthen the darkness with new dead souls."

Yosip's voice was like the trembling leaves in the autumn wind, with an unconcealable panic.

"Damn it, are these Gangplank's maned dogs crazy?"

While running, Graves opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression gloomy.

"Chasing from the White Harbor area of ​​the Slaughterhouse to the Lower City, aren't they afraid of causing misunderstandings among other gangs?"

Before his thoughts could settle, Graves frowned and his heart skipped a beat.

Buzz!

The sound of a bowstring being loosened pierced the night sky.

In the deep alley, a few rays of cold light penetrated the darkness like lightning, reaching behind Graves.

It seems that he smells fatal danger.

Graves' body reacted instantly, sliding forward and turning sideways quickly to avoid the crossbow arrows fired from behind.

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
A series of dull crashes sounded, and four iron crossbow arrows were deeply embedded in the wall, and the tail fins trembled gently in the night wind.

Graves stared at the iron crossbow in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.

He quickly took out his double-barreled shotgun and loaded the gunpowder roll with skill.

【no way no money】!
When he passed the corner of the alley, Graves turned around suddenly and looked at the Hook Gang who were chasing him with a grin.

His left hand firmly pressed the gun body of Destiny, and his right hand moved the trigger without hesitation.

The next moment! A dull thunderous explosion sounded, shaking the alley.

The bright yellow flames ignited, like a turbulent wave, swallowing up everyone chasing after him.

Suddenly, wails and screams sounded in the alley.

The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang fell to the ground one after another under the impact of the flames and pill tablets.

They struggled painfully, trying to escape the horrific sea of ​​fire.

But the ruthless flames ignited, surrounded them tightly, and harvested their lives.

Wait for the flame to die down.

There were more than a dozen broken corpses left on the blue-grey ground, most of them showing signs of burning.

The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang looked at the piled corpses and hesitated.

But when they think of the person who gave the order, they can no longer ignore the fear in their hearts.

These minions ignored the lingering smell of sulfur in the air and continued to rush towards Graves, stepping on the corpses of their companions.

Graves, who had just walked not far away, heard footsteps coming from behind again and cursed in a low voice.

He immediately raised the double-barreled shotgun in his hand, aimed it at the back and fired twice.

The dull roar was accompanied by the blooming of two blood flowers, which instantly drew a cruel arc in the night sky.

The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang fell again, but there were too many of them, and some people continued to chase them.

Graves knew that this was not the way to go, he had to find a way to get rid of these pursuers.

So, he took out a gray-white bottle from his waist and threw it to the ground.

[Smoke Screen]!
After flicking the off-white bottle a few times, the mouth of the bottle shattered, and bursts of white smoke poured out, quickly filling the alley.

The smoke has a strong pungent smell, making it difficult to breathe and make it impossible to see the road ahead clearly.

Graves took the opportunity to rush out of the smoke, without stopping, and continued running, looking for a place to hide.

The Iron Hook Gang minions behind them could not continue to chase, so they had no choice but to stop and try to disperse the white mist in front of them.

Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Graves ran out of the alley and along the main road in the outer city.

As soon as he ran a short distance away, he saw a familiar person appearing not far away from him.

"Hey Cui Zi, you look a little embarrassed."

Graves looked at the panting Drizzt in front of him, grinned, and said with a smile.

"Much better than you."

After taking a few deep breaths, Drizzt looked at Graves, who was covered in blood, with a proud expression.

In comparison.

Drizzt was indeed much better. His luxurious clothes were still clean and tidy, except for a little blood on his sleeves.

Apparently he also experienced a chase.

"Did you get rid of them?"

Drizzt felt the cool autumn air on the street and wrapped himself in his luxurious dress.

He led Graves forward quickly, cards flying in his hand.

The two of them seemed to be having bad luck.

They originally went to the slaughterhouse to inquire about information, but they happened to encounter the patrolling gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang.

Later, I don't know what happened, but these people from the Iron Hook Gang actually started to hunt them down, with a bit of a relentless streak.

"The rumors are true. Gangplank is definitely back, otherwise these maned dogs wouldn't hunt us so hard."

A look of worry appeared on Graves' rough face.

They participated in the operation to depose Planck and witnessed the sinking of the Abyss.

"We have to find a safe place to hide."

Drizzt nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Hook Gang minions pouring out of the alley on the left out of the corner of his eye.

【Universal Card】!
Drizzt immediately stopped flipping the cards and pulled out three cards of different colors.

He aimed at the chasing Iron Hook gangsters, flicked his wrist, and threw out the cards in his hand.

Buzz!Buzz!
The card cut through the night sky, with red, blue and yellow light, reflecting the frightened faces.

The seemingly soft card turned into a death scythe at this moment, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Hook Gang minions.

Each card hits the target accurately, bringing up pieces of blood.

At the same time, Graves also raised his destiny, aimed at the Hook Gang minions in the distance, and fired two shots from a distance.

Gunshots rang out, and two bullets hit the target, splattering with blood.

The two worked together in perfect harmony and quickly defeated this group of Iron Hook Gang minions.

Afterwards, Graves and Drizzt continued to run in the cold wind of the autumn night, looking for opportunities to escape.

Their figures shuttled through alleys and streets, leaving behind a string of rapid footsteps.

The chasing sounds of the Iron Hook Gang also sounded frequently not far away, disturbing nearby residential areas.

But nearby residents hid in their rooms and did not dare to make any noise.

Blood and death add a cruel color to the silent night.

"etc.!"

Drizzt looked down at the card in his hand, his eyes solemn, and he chose to open the card again.

He took back the cards in his hand, shuffled them, and drew three cards in sequence. After seeing the same result as before, he immediately looked around.

Within sight, at the end of the street, there was a brightly lit tavern, waiting for guests to arrive.

"What's the matter, Cui Zi?"

When Graves heard the sound, he stopped and looked back at Drizzt, looking a little confused.

"We should have found a safe place."

Drizzt looked at the tavern in the distance, his tone a little uncertain.

But he believed in his own power and read the omens of fate in the shuffling and cutting of cards.
