Chapter 1241: 1241
A few hours earlier . . .
After Aqua Ape passed out from the poison, Riverdale's guards found him .
Shortly after, Kieran arrived at the scene as well .
Then, he "saw" those traces .
Unlike the battlefield that was destroyed by craters, all the traces around the area where Aqua Ape passed out were intact .
That wasn't to say that the eight-headed, seven-tailed viper tattoo man left behind so many obvious trails .
In fact, the man did make his concealments very well, even Kieran didn't think he could outmatch the man in this, but the concealments were nothing before Transcendence [Tracking] . It was as obvious as an ostrich burying its head in the sand .
Kieran didn't even need to spend time searching for clues, as sizing up the area provided him with the traces he was looking for, and as long as he followed the clues to the culprit, he would eventually get something .
However, the closer he got to reaping his rewards, the more vigilant he became .
Kieran frowned slightly .
Everything before him seemed a little too deliberate .
Not in terms of leaving behind traces but that battle from before!
That kind of loud explosion, Kieran believed that Viper Sect must have anticipated it .
So if Viper Sect anticipated the attack, then they would have surely included Kieran in their calculations .
In simpler words, this was a set up specifically against Ape Sect and also Kieran himself .
As for the dead eight-headed, seven-tailed viper tattoo man?
He might have just been careless .
But there was a higher chance that this was also part of their plan .
Using the death of one of their own to set things up, it might seem crazy, but most of the time, it was a very effective method .
"If this is the case…"
Squinting his eyes, Kieran's heart spun . After waving at Mary, he vanished from the sight of the crowd .
Then, a giant white wolf scuttled across the dense woods like a ghost .
. . .
Deeper inside the woods, a man with ragged clothes was wiping away the puss on his face .
He didn't mind wiping it on his clothes .
Of course, this kind of foul cleaning wouldn't be cleaning his hands at all .
The ragged clothes were much dirtier than could be imagined but no one around him dared to voice it out .
In fact, everyone kept quiet like a cicada in winter when they saw the man, except for the eight-headed, eight-tailed viper tattoo man .
The man was coldly staring at a big iron pot that had bubbles popping out and which reeked of a vile stench; he was waiting patiently .
"Don't worry, there won't be a problem . My potions are much more useful than you think . "
The ragged clothes man grinned, baring his rotten, yellowish teeth, some maggot-like worms even crawling around the gaps .
When the ragged clothes man closed his mouth, these worms were crushed .
As he chewed, green juices spilled out from his mouth corner .
The man touched the juices around his mouth again but this time, he didn't wipe them on his clothes . Instead, he dipped them into the iron pot .
That scrawny hand of his didn't seem to feel the heat at all; it acted as a spoon and stirred the pot .
"It better be . We only have one chance," the man with the eight-headed viper tattoo said coldly .
His cold voice was extremely sharp and irritating, as if an iron blade was slicing over a piece of bone, causing goosebumps to whoever heard it .
"The bastards from Ape Sect are already busy with their own affairs . The only one left… I am looking forward to his appearance! Otherwise, how can I get my revenge? No one gets to walk away alive after stepping on Ghastly Woods' tail, not even the White Wolf!"
The ragged clothes man showed a malicious grin . The puss on his face was squeezed by the motion, oozing out yellowish liquid that reeked . It fell off along his cheeks .
