Chapter 328
Lying under the rock mushroom, Zhang Tie silently watched the strange group . He really wanted to kill them all . There were 16 people over there, including that guy in black clothes .
Zhang Tie couldn't figure out the level of the man in black clothes, but he estimated that those with crossbows were at most LV 8 .
If that man in black clothes was lower than LV 9, Zhang Tie was confident he'd be able to kill them all . Whereas, the only problem was that if that guy in black clothes was higher than LV 9, he would be a powerful fighter . Additionally, perhaps this batch of people were just a portion of a larger group . Their partners might be hiding in other places underground . If Zhang Tie exposed himself at this moment, it would be nothing different from committing a suicide . If they blocked Zhang Tie from escaping, when their more powerful fighters arrived there, Zhang Tie would be in a great danger .
Glancing at those guys and thinking about Liu Xiang whom he had killed, Zhang Tie started to make deductions in a split second in a very calm way .
'If Liu Xiang was assigned to screw me, it means that they don't have absolute confidence in killing me .
'If they had such a powerhouse, as long as I came into the Dragon Cave, they would have notified that powerhouse of my location to directly kill me . They wouldn't have dealt with me in this way .
'If Liu Xiang wanted to keep me alive, it would be more interesting .
'If they wanted me alive, they must have understood the huge value of my manufacturing method of all-purpose medicament . If so, before mastering and verifying the method to produce all-purpose medicament, they won't let me die easily .
'After capturing me, they definitely won't extract my secrets in here, and they won't do it on Hidden Dragon Island; instead, they will definitely escort me to a safe place .
'As Hidden Dragon Island belongs to the Zhang Clan, with the exception of the Zhang Clan's airships and ships, no other vehicles were allowed in . Therefore, the only way they bring me away is to disguise me quickly . If I was found lost today, they would have to take me away from the Dragon Cave on the same day . If not, when Zhang Clan and Hidden Dragon Palace realize what happened, those people would be surrounded and have no chance to leave Hidden Dragon Island any more .
'However, it would be very difficult to bring a live person away from Hidden Dragon Cave . This could not be done by one person .
'If it was the second situation, although more powerful guys might move secretly, Liu Xiang made his move alone as it was the most cost-efficient method . If so, Liu Xiang was their first card, but not the only one . The following cards might be sharper .
'Since they're not afraid of irritating Huaiyuan Palace, they must have made full preparations and considered all the possibilities .
'If it was the first situation, they would only assign a LV 9 fighter here at most to deal with me, who's only LV 6-7 and formed the Iron-Blood Battle Qi .
'If it was the second situation . they would have more powerful guys to catch me; but they would not kill me at once .
'As for the first situation, I don't need to be worry about it; as for the second situation, I will have a chance to negotiate conditions with them and figure out their true purpose . '
In a split second, Zhang Tie had figured out his current situation and determined his next step at once .
As the Iron-Blood Fist was a fist cultivated by a dauntless person and Zhang Tie was born to be adventurous and dauntless, he really couldn't stand it by and just watch those guys come and go in front of his eyes .
Additionally, this was Hidden Dragon Island, the territory of Zhang Clan; it would be especially shameful if he was that timid even on the Hidden Dragon Island!
With a quick thought, a special equipment from the Castle of Black Iron had already appeared in his hand .
That was a leathered container of hidden weapons . After completing the advancement of his awakened bloodline, Zhang Tie had built such a weapon in the Items Department . Besides practicing with them in the Trouble-Reappearance Situation, Zhang Tie had not attacked anybody using them .
What was placed in the container were the extremely common hidden weapons with great power
— handbolts .
It was said that this hidden weapon originated from flying needles which was popular among some warriors or fighters before the Catastrophe . Those powerhouses could even break through thick glasses using flying needles .
Certainly, handbolts were not flying needles, at least in size . They were much larger than flying needles but similar to mini spears .
Each handbolt was 26 . 4 cm in length and 438 grams in weight . They were made of common steel and iron . Each handbolt was both like a mini spear and a super large flying needle . Zhang Tie made special modifications on their tails according to the laws of aerodynamics he'd learned, making them look a bit flat . In this way, these handbolts could fly faster, more stably, and more powerfully .
When Zhang Tie was LV 6, the effective shooting range of this handbolt was 90 m . The power of this hidden weapon was similar to that of common spears that he'd used before as they could easily pierce through a huge wolf .
Because of simple design and common materials, these handbolts were excellent low-value consumables . The price of each handbolt was only 2 silver coins in the Items Department of Hidden Dragon Palace . Zhang Tie had customized 2000 bolts in palm . Now, all these handbolts were piled inside Castle of Black Iron, and were available at any time .
Being fastened on his waist, the container contained 12 handbolts . Certainly, if Zhang Tie liked, the number of handbolts could be 120, or even 1200 . With the exception of Zhang Tie himself, nobody else knew that Zhang Tie was a movable arsenal with his Castle of Black Iron .
Sometimes, the container of hidden weapons were just props . Like now, after securely fastening his container, Zhang Tie instantly had 10 more handbolts in his left hand like holding a handful of chopsticks .
With gleaming eyes, Zhang Tie held one handbolt in his right hand as he silently changed his position from lying prone into a half squatting stance . In a split second, he had locked onto that leader in black clothes 50 m away .
. . .
"Leave a small team to clean up the dead body and stay in the area . Any single person you see, whether from the left cave or the right cave, should be killed!" that man in black clothes said in a merciless tone, as he glanced over the surrounding people icily, "The rest of you will accompany me to get Zhang Tie . He only escaped a short while ago; he can't be far away!"
After ordering his subordinates, the man carefully looked at the trace left by Zhang Tie on the ground as he led a team towards the open area of the karst cave where they were . At this moment, Zhang Tie narrowed his eyes and forcefully shot a bolt towards the leader . . .
His bolt reached the man's forehead at a speed quicker than sound . . .
