Chapter 25 I Want His Brain
Ross pondered for a moment: "Since it's not easy to infiltrate directly, let's just pay a normal visit. After destroying the Chengshi family, I still need to destroy the Grizzly Bear family and then find the 'Grey Heron Breathing Technique.' Time is tight and the task is heavy."
Soon, he changed into a nobleman's outfit, looking like a bankrupt count who had come to ask for help.
The common people on the road saw it, but they were used to it.
"Please inform them that we have come to pay a visit to Earl Chengshi."
Ross walked outside the castle and saluted the soldiers.
Celia then greeted Lin Wei, who was having a meal, saying, "Lord Lin Wei, someone came to visit today, saying he is a fallen nobleman."
"I won't see them. I'll start cultivating soon. There are too many impoverished nobles these days; it's enough to just drive them away."
Celia nodded and said, "I understand, Lord Lin Wei."
Lin Weizheng stuffed a beef leg into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it whole.
"These teeth are getting sharper and sharper. Am I still human? Why do I feel like a lion?"
......
The soldier replied expressionlessly, "Please return, Your Excellency. The Earl said he is busy."
Ross: "..."
A mere earl, most likely not even a knight, dares to put on airs.
This infuriated the once hot-tempered hyena knight, who was a standard knight with strength equivalent to a duke.
That Earl of Chengshi, he's just waiting to be crushed to death!
"roll!"
He punched the soldier in the chest, shattering his chest, and carried the unfortunate soldier's corpse into the castle.
"Count Chengshi, get out here!"
Just as Lin Wei was about to go into the basement to cultivate, he heard a strange man roar.
"What's going on? Someone's looking for Victor, and they've even come to our door?"
Then came the sounds of soldiers fighting with the strange man, but the fighting seemed to be one-sided, with the cries of pain coming from the castle soldiers.
"The visitor seems ill-intentioned. He's a knight."
Lin Wei's face stiffened, and he disappeared at the entrance to the basement.
Dozens of soldiers had already fallen in front of the hyena knight Ross, who continued to advance deeper into the castle, seemingly poised to slaughter every living person inside.
Celia and the others had already found a room to hide in under the cover of commanders like Roti.
Seeing this, Lin Wei immediately opened the Heartfelt Purple Face without saying a word.
Name: Ross
[Attitude: Irreconcilable]
[Thoughts: That damned Earl of Chengshi dares to humiliate me! Although I have no title, my strength is far beyond what a country bumpkin like you can imagine. I, the Hyena Knight, have been inactive for too long; anyone dares to ride roughshod over me! They're asking for death!]
"Hyena Rider? What nonsense! Who insulted you?"
Lin Wei drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and several spiraling arrows shot out, piercing the body of the hyena knight Ross.
"puff!"
The hyena knight Ross coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking at the wolf-tooth arrow still spinning in his chest, and was about to pull it out.
But then a spiked club came crashing down on him, only to be caught by a knight who looked like a lion-man.
Lin Wei said, "Now that you're here, don't leave."
In his panic, the hyena rider Ross only had time to cover his upper body with his supernatural power in an attempt to withstand the attack.
But the force of the spiked club was greater than he had imagined, and he was knocked away and fell from the castle.
"Damn it, the intelligence is wrong! There's actually a standard knight in this Chengshi territory. He seems to be practicing a breathing technique related to lions, and his strength is above mine."
The hyena rider Ross was stunned by the attack and could barely steady himself after landing.
"Sir, it's all a misunderstanding. I'll take my leave now."
The hyena rider Ross ran off without looking back.
"joke."
"Your Excellency trespassed into my Chengshi territory without permission and even killed my soldiers. It's all a misunderstanding?"
Without saying a word, Lin Wei chased after him, occasionally firing a few spiral arrows that pierced the hyena rider's back.
This guy can't escape.
Both were expert riders, and their pursuit was incredibly fast, looking from a distance like a lion chasing a hyena.
However, Lin Wei was faster, and the distance between them gradually shortened.
Before long, the two chased each other to the banks of the Black Stone River.
Due to excessive blood loss, the hyena rider Ross felt dizzy and knew he couldn't escape.
He looked at the lion-man who had appeared behind him, and said with a resentful expression, "Who exactly are you?"
Lin Wei said expressionlessly, "I'll tell you in the next life."
Hyena Knight Ross stared wide-eyed at the heron-colored feathers that had appeared on Lin Wei's arms: "So the Heron Breathing Technique is on you! You've actually cultivated two breathing techniques! There's a knight in this Earl's territory who cultivates dual breathing techniques?! This is doomed!"
Lin Wei didn't waste any time with him and went all out, repeatedly smashing his spiked club at the hyena rider.
The hyena rider could only struggle to keep up and couldn't even mount a proper counterattack.
Soon, Lin Wei ended the hyena rider's sinful life with a single blow.
"So weak, it doesn't even have combat skills, and I cultivate three breathing techniques."
Lin Wei discovered that his strength seemed to be quite formidable.
This hyena rider was also a standard rider, but he was no match for him at all and was completely overwhelmed.
"Resources are still very important. Lord knights generally have better training conditions than lone knights. This hyena knight seems to have nothing but the cultivation level of a standard knight."
"Another penniless wretch, he doesn't even have many gold coins."
Lin Wei searched the hyena rider's corpse thoroughly and found only a hyena breathing technique manual and a few hundred gold coins.
"But breathing techniques alone are useless. I also need bloodline inheritance stones, otherwise these breathing techniques are of no value at all."
Lin Wei had a headache.
Give me his brain.
Just then, a female voice came from behind Lin Wei.
"Could you please stop always appearing behind me?"
Lin Wei knew it was the voice of the female ghost from the riverbank, and said irritably.
The female ghost looked on longingly: "Give me his brain."
The brain of a standard knight is far more delicious than that of an ordinary mortal.
"No."
Lin Wei naturally refused. This female ghost was somewhat mysterious; feeding her some bandits' heads would be enough.
The female ghost said unhappily, "But what use is his brain?"
Lin Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This is also the first time I've killed a standard knight. A standard knight's mind might have other uses."
After a brief standoff, the female ghost relented: "I heard everything you just said."
"I can extract the bloodline from his blood for you, and the reward is his brain."
Lin Wei's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can this bloodline be used to cultivate breathing techniques?"
He hadn't expected the female ghost to have this hidden trick up her sleeve.
"Maybe it's possible. I'll give it a try. It'll take some time."
Lin Wei readily agreed, "Okay, let's give it a try."
The two reached an agreement: Lin Wei would throw the hyena rider's body into the Blackstone River.
