Zhou Jing and others rushed to the workshop first. The inventory here was looted, and all kinds of exotic blood potions and exotic beast equipment were gone.

Even the craftsmen disappeared, the entire workshop was empty, and there were not even many corpses.

"They were all probably kidnapped."

Everyone looked around.

Since these thugs are different blood warriors and bandits, they will most likely capture the craftsmen and force them to work.

Cole said solemnly: "This group of thugs are still raging in the city, which means they have a temporary place to hold prisoners."

"Definitely, if they dare to attack the fortress city, they can't just take away the loot that everyone can carry with them, so there must be a temporary assembly point in the city, and a convoy of beasts of burden is probably ready. They ransacked the city, taking away the loot one by one.

Move together and return home with a full load at the end.”

Zhou Jing did not hesitate.

Not much was found in the workshop, and the group hurried to the hunter's tavern.

The tavern was in a mess, with fragments of tables and chairs scattered all over the floor. It had obviously been a battle, but there was not a single hunter's body.

"It seems that the hunter was also taken away. This group of thugs did not kill anyone." Cole was surprised.

"Perhaps they plan to persuade hunters to join the group like captured craftsmen?" Zhou Jing guessed.

"This is too..." Cole didn't know what to say.

In his opinion, if you want to sack a town, you must first deal with the hunters in the city.

If the hunter is left alive, even if he is imprisoned, it will be an unstable factor and he will become trouble at any time. It is better to silence him.

Instead of killing hunters, they still want to persuade them to join the gang... These thugs are either idiots, extremely confident, or both.

Zhou Jing observed the traces of the battle in the tavern, touched his chin, and pondered his analysis:

"This is a fortress city. There will be many hunters. Even if most of them are out and about, there will usually be at least a dozen or twenty people in the town...so the damage caused by a fight will not be so small. This group of thugs cannot be easily subdued.

Many hunters must have resorted to tricks, I guess they poisoned them to make them lose their fighting ability."

"The hunter is alive, and we still have a considerable number of helpers." Cole was delighted.

"It's hard to say. Being alive doesn't mean you have fighting ability. He should be imprisoned by the thugs in their temporary stronghold and guarded by people... Look there!"

Zhou Jing said casually, looking around, and suddenly found intermittent blood spots extending along the road.

Everyone also saw it, and their eyes lit up.

This should be the blood stain left by a hunter who resisted and was injured while being transferred and imprisoned.

"Following the blood trail, you should be able to find the place of detention."

The group of people immediately followed him.

…

Somewhere in Deep Rock City, there is a small bunker.

This was originally one of the barracks where guards were stationed. At this time, all the defenders were wiped out and it was occupied by the Sons of Different Blood gang and used as a temporary stronghold.

The fire did not spread here. The bunker was filled with people and a large amount of looted materials were stored. There were seven bandits of different bloods guarding the place.

Zhou Jing and his party found this place by following the bloodstains. They hid behind a building in the distance and quickly looked into the bunker and wrote down the appearance and location of the robbers.

"This is probably the stronghold of the thugs. There don't seem to be many people left behind. They probably thought they had subdued most of the hunters and thought there was no resistance in the city, so they sent a large force out to loot it, right?" Cole said in a low voice.

.

"This is good news, how do we attack?" The leader of the hunter team asked for everyone's opinions.

"While the bandit army is not around, just go up and hack them to death."

Zhou Jing did not hesitate.

Although they are all alien blood enhancers, their team is the elite of the empire's hunters.

He and the team leader have both been strengthened three times, and there is Cole, an elite who has been strengthened twice. With similar numbers, there is nothing to be afraid of.

There is a high probability that a group of bandits will not be very powerful characters, and most of them are strengthened once... The seven people left behind are enough to fend off the town hunters who slipped through the net, but they are far from the opponent of their elite hunter team from the empire.

Everyone thought about it and had no opinion.

Since you are not facing a large enemy force, you don't need to use too much brainpower. It just weakens the enemy's overall strength.

The group of people drew their weapons one after another, dispersed their positions slightly, took a deep breath, and rushed out.

As soon as they stepped onto the empty street, they were noticed by seven bandits who stayed behind.

The seven people suddenly looked shocked and hurriedly threw throwing knives, javelins, throwing axes and the like at Zhou Jing and others.

Zhou Jing was the fastest and rushed at the front. He easily dodged the flying weapons and rushed in front of a bandit in a blink of an eye.

The enemy was about to launch an attack, but as soon as he raised his weapon halfway, two extremely fast cold lights circled around his neck.

Poof!

The bandit fell down with blood spurting out, unable to fight back.

Zhou Jing kept walking, dragging out two light tracks with his two swords, and slashed two more people to death in the blink of an eye. His opponent didn't even have time to defend himself, so he fell down with his eyes wide open.

The level that had been strengthened once was now completely unable to keep up with Zhou Jing's speed. He was almost instantly killed in a one-on-one challenge, and before he made a parrying posture, his neck was already cut off by the double swords.

At the same time, in a certain room in the bunker, a dozen hunters were lying on the ground in a mess, their bodies were tied tightly, they were weak and cursing.

"The man named Duodun actually pretended to be a hunter. I thought he was real, but I didn't expect him to be a gangster!"

"When we weren't paying attention, this bitch put a paralyzing potion for strange animals in the wine. It was so mean, my whole body is still numb."

"Damn it, I didn't die in the mouth of a strange beast, but fell into the hands of a group of gangsters."

The faces of all the hunters were full of grief and anger.

They were drinking as usual in the Hunter's Tavern, but unexpectedly they were plotted against and they were all poisoned.

The paralysis potion used by the enemy was used to capture the strange beasts alive. It could make the strange beasts paralyzed and limp for a long time. The gangsters also added more weight to the wine. Only then did everyone get knocked over by three blows, and they were unable to fight back.

.

Now the effect of the medicine is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone is paralyzed and can hardly move.

The chains that could normally be broken by force did not have the strength to break at this moment. A dozen hunters could only lie here.

At this time, Weber in the crowd said in a deep voice: "Don't be discouraged. Find a way to get out of trouble. These gangsters have not killed us for some unknown reason, but they can change their minds and kill us at any time."

After leaving White Plains City, he traveled around and became a free hunter. He recently settled in Deep Rock City. He didn't expect to be involved in such a turmoil, and secretly called him unlucky.

Soon, someone responded helplessly: "We have no strength at all and can't escape at all. I hope there are other hunters in the city who haven't been tricked like us."

Now, everyone can only hope that someone was not in the tavern when the incident occurred and there was no way out.

But having said that, everyone actually doesn’t have high expectations.

Even if there are still hunters in the city who have not been recruited, the number will not be too many and they are no match for the gangsters. It is not certain whether they are willing to take risks to save people.

Even if they are rescued, the effect of the medicine is still exerting effect. After everyone escapes, they have no fighting power. They can only become sluggers, unable to organize a counterattack, and completely unable to stop the large number of gangsters. At most, they can just run away and let the city fall.

Weber was depressed and helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

This feeling of not having your life in your hands is so unsettling.

At this moment, faint sounds of fighting and screams came from outside.

Weber's expression changed and he said solemnly: "Did you hear that?"

"It seems like someone is fighting outside?"

Everyone hurriedly listened, but soon there was no sound.

After a while, the door suddenly opened with a bang.

Zhou Jing strode in with his teammates, holding a living bandit with his face covered in blood.

"Brother Hunter, we are here to rescue you." Cole on the side loudly identified himself.

Many hunters were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly writhed on the ground like earthworms, signaling to those who came to quickly untie them.

Cole and others quickly broke off the hunters' chains one by one and helped everyone sit up.

At this time, many hunters saw their faces clearly and were startled when they realized that they were unfamiliar faces.

"Aren't you hunters from Deep Rock City?"

"Well, we are empire hunters. We went out to hunt a deadly alien beast. We happened to pass by Deep Rock City and discovered something happened here."

Cole replied, briefly explaining the cause and effect.

"Fortunately you are here, otherwise we would be doomed."

Many hunters looked happy and looked at a few of them subconsciously.

Weber's eyes swept over everyone, and then he saw Zhou Jing's appearance clearly, and was suddenly startled.

This guy...why does he look so much like Jason?

At the same time, Zhou Jing also discovered this familiar face. His heart froze, but his face remained calm, pretending not to recognize it.
To be continued...
