Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 990: Nightmare

Edward and Lucy raised their heads and saw that it was Fares and Rick in black. Seeing their serious expressions, Edward stood up and asked, "Is something the matter?"

Fares nodded and turned to look at Rick. "I saw a group of people sneakily sneaking up on us while we were on patrol," he said. "The ones leading the group would occasionally look at the flames on our side. I'm afraid they're coming in a bad way."

"How many people are there?" Edward asked again.

"Not many, less than 30 people," said Rick. "But one of them has a strong aura, at least at level 17 or 18. There are five or six people who are at level 13 or 14, and most of the others are below level 10. Normal pirates shouldn't be able to bring out such a formation. I don't think it's the edge pirates like the Black Wood Forest, but the creatures in the depths of the Dark Lands."

"You can be more bold. It should be the Evil Tooth Barrier's Evil Wolf." Edward smiled faintly. "There was news from Young Master Alan in the evening. He had already fought Joey in the gray hills during the day, and the Wolf had suffered. It was normal for the Wolf to come looking for him now."

Fares asked in a deep voice, "Then, Edward, what are you going to do?"

"It depends on what the wolves want to do. If they are only secretly observing us, then let them go. If they are rushing to their deaths, then kill them all." Edward said calmly as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

In a winding mountain path that was like a sheep's intestine, someone suddenly stopped and raised his head to point at a distant mountain peak. Looking down the man's hand, one could see a flash of fire on the hilltop. The man said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Zach, that is the nest of the Dark Spear." If there were any strangers haunting the Black Wood Forest recently, it definitely had something to do with the Dark Spear. My subordinates saw with their own eyes that those old fellows led a caravan up the mountain two days ago. "

Behind this person was a pitch-black figure. Under the cold moonlight, Zach's eyes glowed fiercely. He first glared at the mountain top, then stretched out his hand and lifted the person in front of him up, "Don't lie to me. If I don't get anything, you guys will be expelled!"

That person was the leader of one of the bandits in the Black Wood Forest, but he was as docile as a cat or dog in front of a fierce man like Zach. He waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, no. How dare I lie to you, my lord? This matter is absolutely true!"

"It better be like this." Zach let go of him and pushed him to the side. "You can go back now. There's nothing you need to do next."

That person didn't even dare to stay for long and immediately entered the dense forest beside the road. However, he still gloated and looked back. He thought to himself that the Dark Spear was in trouble this time, and he didn't know how those old things had provoked Zhan Lang. This time, if the wolf were to keep an eye on him, there would probably only be a few bones left in the stronghold tomorrow, right?

He looked at Zach, who was like a devil god in the darkness, and muttered, "Maybe not even bones are left."

That's why you're not leaving.

On the mountain path, Zach narrowed his eyes as he looked at the flickering mountain top. "I finally caught you after traveling for half the night. You're really a long-lived fellow who dares to provoke us, Zhan Lang. Let's go up the mountain and kill them all!"

After meeting Meggis, Joey ordered Zach to find out where Alan's group was. Originally, this kind of job was more suitable for Gunn, but when Meggis visited, he needed someone like Gunn to take care of the Evil Tooth Barrier, so the job fell to Zach. However, Zach's bull made him fight to the death without frowning, but when it came to searching for this kind of work, it wasn't his forte.

Fortunately, Gangenti had asked him to find one or two pirates in the Black Wood Forest. These bandits weren't strong enough, but their eyes and ears were still there. If there were strangers in the Black Wood Forest, they would definitely not be able to escape their eyes. Zach did, and he really did find it. Zach treated his foster father like a god, and when he saw Joey get hurt, Zach was even more anxious to get revenge than Joey himself. Now that he had found him, Zach had already forgotten Joey's original order, and his mind was now filled with horrible scenes of blood splashing all over the ground.

At this moment, Zach's entire body was filled with fierce flames, and no one dared to ruin his mood at this moment. However, a figure appeared behind him. This person was wearing armor, completely different from ordinary wolf bandits. "Lord Zach, Lord Joey's orders don't seem to be like that …"

At the end of his sentence, Zach grabbed his neck with one hand. Zach raised his hand and lifted the man's legs off the ground. The man's face immediately turned red and his legs kicked wildly. Zach glared at him and said, "If you weren't the Iron Wolf Guard, you would be a corpse by now." Of course I know what father's orders are, but I also know who those people are. They were the ones who hurt their father and the great Undying Joey. There is no need for father's orders, you should also know. "All those who dare to make enemies with us, they must die!"

Then he threw away the Iron Wolf Guard and pointed at the top of the mountain. "Now, follow me, if you think you're a wolf, not a dog with a tail between your legs!"

A howl of wolves suddenly sounded from the mountain path.

Zach took the lead and ran along the mountain path towards the top of the dark spear. Behind him, a few Iron Wolf Guards and other wolf bandits followed closely behind. The Iron Wolf Guard who had been thrown to the ground by Zach coughed violently. Looking at the fleeing group, he could only shake his head and sigh, but he followed helplessly. In his opinion, Zach's disobedience to Joey's orders was unwise and foolish. However, he didn't dare to disobey Zach here. Just now, his courage had been shown to the extreme by his words of dissuasion.

A thunderous roar rang out!

Joey suddenly sat up, his back wet with cold sweat. A bolt of lightning flashed through the open window and quickly flashed into the distance behind the clouds in the night sky. A breeze blew in from outside the window. The breeze carried a damp water vapor, a sign that heavy rain was coming. Joey's face was illuminated by lightning. He took a few quick breaths, groped out of bed, and poured a glass of cold water into his stomach from the cupboard before he got up. Only when the cold water entered his body did he calm down.

He hadn't dreamed for a long time, but just now, he had an incomparably real nightmare. He dreamed that his son, who had been sent out of the Land of Darkness, had been killed and his corpse pierced through a spear. He could only kneel helplessly in front of the corpse and cry bitterly, and then he woke up. The dream was so real that Joey could even smell the decay of the corpse.

However, there was only a faint fragrance of flowers in the room.

The fragrance of the flowers comes from the beauty on the bed.

Margaret.

The lost woman curled herself up into a ball, revealing a thigh that was as white as sheep's fat from the sheets. Her posture was alluring, but now Joey had no intention of conquering her. Apart from the injuries on Joey's body, it was also because of the huge rock that was pressing down on his heart.

Joey knew that if he didn't get rid of the man named Alan, his dreams were likely to come true. Thinking of this, Joey clenched the cup in fear. With a cracking sound, the glass of water was crushed by him. He patted off the fragment between his palms, put on a long robe, and pushed open the door.

Outside the door, two Iron Wolf Guards were dozing against the wall when Joey raised his foot and kicked them over. The guard hurriedly stood up, his face full of anger. Seeing Joey, his anger turned into shock. Joey pulled one forward and shouted, "Go and see if Zach is back!"

The guard fled as if he were running for his life.

Joey didn't go back to his room. He felt a little uneasy in his heart. Zach set off in the afternoon. He had enough time to run back and forth. After all, he was riding a fast horse. However, there was no news of him. If he came back, Joey believed that his adopted son would immediately report to him about the situation in the Black Wood Forest.

"Maybe we should let Gunn go," muttered Joey. "That bull, Zach, sometimes just stops thinking …"

The sound of footsteps rang out, and Joey raised his head. Not only did the Iron Wolf Guard return, he also brought Gangen. Gangen gestured, and the two Iron Wolf Guards hurriedly left. Then he said to Joey, "Father, Zach hasn't returned yet. Do you want me to send someone to pick him up?"

"There's no need. We're only leaving now. It's already too late for anything to happen." Joey waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go to bed. Tomorrow morning, send someone to the Black Wood Forest to take a look."

"Do you need me to go personally?"

'"No, if Zach is also there. I'm afraid it's the same if you go. Gurus betrayed me and Zach won't come back tonight. Then you're the only one left with me. Gunn, I don't want anything to happen to you."

Gangen nodded.

Joey seemed to be tired, so he turned around and walked back to his room. Looking at his back, Gangen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

His adoptive father might no longer be that Undying Joey, but an ordinary old man. However, he shook his head and warned himself in his heart that he must not hold such an idea. If Joey knew he had such thoughts, he wouldn't be important anymore. Gunn wasn't Zach. He knew how suspicious the old man was. Including him, these adopted sons were just tools.

Tools cannot have ideas.

After the door was closed, Gangen left and instructed the two Iron Wolf Guards to take care of him. As they passed through a corridor, another thunderclap came from outside the window, and lightning flickered. Gangen narrowed his eyes, thinking that the bull might not be able to return.

And then it rained.

Downpour!

The sudden heavy rain made Zach's eyes almost unable to open, and a faint color of blood appeared in front of his eyes. He wiped his face, but the slanted wound on his forehead was still bleeding. Blood slowly flowed down his eyebrows, mixed with rain and blurring Zach's eyes. Zach gasped. He could clearly feel that his physical strength and Origin Energy were close to their limits. He was even more aware of the many wounds on his body that had caused him to lose a lot of blood.

However, he still refused to fall, or rather, he was unwilling to fall just like that.

What he had just experienced was like a nightmare to him, a nightmare that he had never thought of.
