Ethan Sigeweard, the other two and a beast rushed towards the city gate. They arrived at the city gate within a few minutes, but they saw that the city gate was heavily guarded and the investigation was very strict.
"The city is closed?" The Little Witch's beautiful eyes flashed with an unhappy look on her face.
"Probably not." Ethan shook his head and said in a condensed voice, "The reason why Stella let us go before was because she was afraid, ahem... afraid of my master, so she didn't take action, but she didn't really want to let us go, so we checked at the city gate to prevent us from escaping Sigeweard City."
Talking about his "master", Ethan blushed. How could he have a master? However, the reason why Stella asked people to search for people who left the city was because he and Christopher were not going to let him go.
"Then how are we going to get out?" The Little Witch was a little worried. Stella wanted to kill them all. Even if Christopher tried his best, they might not be able to force their way out.
"Haha, Captain, I've been lucky these days. Last time I got two Third-ranked Soul Beast. This time, I picked up the body of a Third-ranked Soul Beast, the Golden Rampage Lion."
"Yes, we worked for a month this year and gained more than we did in a whole year in previous years. I hope we can gain something from this trip to the Sunset Mountain Range. We can practice hard for the rest of the year."
"But captain, why do you want to go to the Sunset Mountain Range so late at night? Can't you do it early tomorrow morning?"
Just as Ethan was deep in thought, a few cheerful voices came from not far away, and a dozen figures walked towards the city gate like a dragon or a tiger.
The next moment, Ethan moved and rushed towards the dozen people. In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind a man in black armor.
The man in black armor suddenly turned around. When he saw Ethan, his face showed surprise, and he shouted in a low voice, "Third, Third Young Master? Why are you here? We just prepared to send you the soul stone two days ago, but..."
"Joseph Watson, can you help me get out of the city?" Ethan took a deep breath and interrupted Joseph. The person in front of him was the Sunset Soul Hunting Squad that Ethan had met in the Sunset Mountain Range some time ago.
Several other people also noticed something was wrong behind them, and immediately turned around to look. When their eyes fell on Ethan, they all showed surprise.
"Dylan, Evan, Tyler, come with me." Joseph instantly gave everyone a look and shouted.
"Yes, leader." Although the three people had doubts, they still nodded. Then Joseph took Ethan and the three people from the Sunset Soul Hunting Squad and disappeared into the alley. There, Christopher, Little Witch and Little Dold Lion Waiting.
"Old Mr. Sigeweard." The moment Joseph saw Christopher, his pupils shrank. It was extremely difficult to see Christopher normally, but he didn't expect to see him here today.
Moreover, he also heard about the Sigeweard family. Didn't Christopher die of poisoning? How come you are still alive and well?
Christopher nodded with a smile and said bitterly, "Now I'm just an old man."
"Old Mr. Sigeweard, it's better to change your clothes and leave the city as soon as possible. The city gate will be closed in half an hour." Joseph forced himself to calm down and took a deep breath.
"Okay! Thank you so much, little brother." Christopher nodded and glanced at Joseph appreciatively. This tall man looked very honest and honest. Such a talent is worth dating.
"I, Joseph, don't know anything else. I only know that a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring." Joseph looked at Ethan gratefully.
"Joseph, I am no longer the Third Young Master, so just call me by my name." Ethan had already changed his clothes very quickly.
"Then let me call you Ethan." Joseph smiled honestly.
At this time, Little Dold Lion came over, and the hair all over its body was dyed white, which made it very unhappy. Fortunately, Ethan comforted her. After a few moments, the Little Witch also changed her clothes and came over.
"Dylan, Evan, and Tyler, don't leave the city today. Take our family and find a place to hide. We will leave the city again in a few days. We will wait at the same place." Joseph looked at the three people from the Sunset Soul Hunter Squad. road.
"Don't worry, captain." The three of them smiled, without hesitation, and disappeared into the alley in a flash.
Ethan and others also hurriedly walked towards the city gate. There was not much time left for them. Once Stella found out that their attacker was dead, he would definitely hunt them down.
The first thing Stella Sigeweard will do when the time came was to close the city gate and caught the turtle in the jar. None of them could escape.
"Captain Waston, you are going out so late at night. I heard that your Sunset Soul Hunting Squad has made great achievements recently." A sergeant at the gate of the city smiled and said that he was already familiar with Joseph and the others.
"Wherever I go, I just support my family. By the way, Captain Lee, why did you come to guard the city gate in person? Did something big happen?" Although Wang Lie has a straightforward temper, he is still good at dealing with acquaintances.
"Captain Waston, don't you know yet?" Captain Lee looked at Joseph in surprise, then waved his hand and said, "You have been in the mountains all year round with the spirit beasts, so it's okay if you don't know, but it's a good thing not to know about this. Next time you come back, Remember to come drink with me!"
"Don't worry, I won't stop until getting drunk, so let's take our leave first." Joseph smiled and cupped his hands.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Commander Wang's good wine." Captain Lee said with a grin, then waved his hand and the sergeants on both sides let him go.
Ethan and others were extremely nervous. Although Joseph and Captain Lee were chatting so speculatively, once Captain Lee saw the flaw, he would definitely turn his back on them.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Captain Lee's voice came from behind. Joseph trembled all over. Ethan and others clenched their fists. Sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their backs were almost soaked.
"Captain Waston, what kind of soul beast is this? Get one for me next time?" Captain Lee's eyes suddenly turned to Little Dold Lion, but at this moment, Little Dold Lion was dressed in silver-white and looked extremely slovenly.
"It's just a second-level soul beast, a white lion. Next time we meet, I will leave one for Captain Lee." After hearing Captain Lee's words, Wang Lie breathed a sigh of relief and grinned.
"Then I'll thank Captain Waston in advance." Captain Lee laughed loudly. Don't look at a second-level soul beast, which also required thousands of low-grade soul stones. After all, a soul beast alive was more expensive than a dead one. many.
Moreover, using soul beasts to travel had long been a way of showing off one's strength in the Battle Soul Continent. A Third-ranked Soul Beast mount looked much higher-class than a second-level soul beast mount.
Ethan had already greeted the tenth generation of Captain Lee's ancestors in his heart, which made them extremely nervous, and their heartbeats accelerated with every step they took.
"Send the city lord's order to close the city gate immediately!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance.
"Let's go!" Christopher shouted softly, speeding up a bit again.
"Stop!" Captain Lee shouted angrily when he saw Christopher and others speeding up their pace in vain. Sure enough, they fell out at once.
However, Christopher ignored him at all and left the city gate in a flash. Ethan, Little Witch and Little Dold Lion were also very agile. There were only a few people left in the Sunset Soul Hunting Squad who had not left, and one of them was Joseph.
"Joseph, you don't want to live anymore?!" Captain Lee looked at Joseph coldly, his murderous intent clearly revealed.
