This knight is too perfect

Chapter 8 The Wolf and the Snake

In the dark woods, the demon hunter Ruixi, who had completely lost her presence, blended in completely with the surrounding environment.

At this moment, Jet seemed to be unable to find the other party at all. He just stood there passively and stupidly without any movement.

But this tranquility did not last long.

Because several extremely threatening arrows appeared.

Unlike the ordinary arrows that seemed dangerous before, they are actually completely harmless.

This time, the arrow that attacked Jet was the 'Arcane Arrow' unique to the Hawk-style Demon Hunter.

The "Extraordinary Characteristics" it carries are so strong that even Jet, who has a body as strong as steel, has to dodge it.

Otherwise, he might be killed on the spot by these arrows.

Under the moonlight, Jet, who kept running and dodging, looked like a lone wolf being ruthlessly hunted by a hunter, looking extremely miserable.

But the transformation between hunter and prey often happens in an instant.

Jet, who had been running away passively, suddenly made a sharp turn and then rushed towards a certain direction at an astonishing speed several times faster than before.

The speed was so fast that bystanders only saw a flash of white light and could not see clearly at all.

In the canopy of a tree in that direction, Ruixi, who had just drawn the bow, didn't even have time to react before a pair of large hands grabbed her neck fiercely.

The game is over.

boom!
Jet grabbed Ruixi and smashed his body against a big tree.

The forest, which had been noisy for a long time, returned to silence at this moment.

"Rui Xi, I just retracted my claws, not had my claws plucked out."

"Though your little eagle claws are sharp, they are still far from enough to catch an old white wolf, even if this white wolf... no longer has a pack of wolves to belong to."

Jet held Ruixi's neck with his right hand, pressed her against the tree trunk, leaned over and whispered in her ear.

In this state, Jet has lost the seriousness and politeness that a butler should have, and his whole body is filled with violent savagery.

Otherwise, he would not have treated a lady in such a barbaric way.

However, regarding Jet's behavior, Ruixi not only did not feel that he was "offending" her, but instead felt that this was the way the two of them should get along.

Although her life and death were controlled by someone, Ruixi changed her previous attitude and said excitedly: "Yes, Jeter, that's it, this is the you I am familiar with."

"Only you are qualified to give me orders."

As he said that, Ruixi put away the secret arrow that had pierced Jet's chest a little.

If the arrow had moved a little further, it would have pierced Jet's heart directly.

If this is true, even though Jet is now an inhuman body, he has a vitality far beyond that of ordinary people.

But once his heart, the source of his life, was pierced by Ruixi's secret arrow, he would still not be able to escape death.

But games are just games after all.

Because if the two of them were really engaged in a life-and-death hunt.

Then Jet could easily break Ruixi's neck before her secret arrow pierced his body.

Put a perfect end to this unequal hunting.

Jet understood this, and so did Rishi.

As Ruixi put down his weapon, Jet naturally put away his claws in time.

And after the polishing of this 'mini game'.

The originally tense atmosphere between the two suddenly became harmonious and ambiguous.

All I can say is that there is a reason why demon hunters are feared and rejected by most people.

After all, a small game between normal people would never reach the point where one is almost at risk of life and death.

You know, it has come to this point, how can this be a game?
After being released, Ruixi straightened her messy clothes and then told Jet the news that he had been waiting for.

"Jeter, I already have some clues about the matter about the Snake Sect that you asked me to investigate."

"As you said, I did find some clues about the contact between the Snake Sect and the Holy Communion Society."

"But you should know that both those venomous snakes and the group of lunatics in the Holy Communion are a group of insidious and cunning guys, so I have not found any evidence that they are colluding with each other."

"As for the Demon Hunter Association, you are also familiar with it. Although we are affiliated with the same secret society on the surface, we are actually divided into factions according to our respective 'Extraordinary Characteristics' and do not interfere with each other."

"Your Wolf and Snake factions may seem to be two different factions, but your 'Extraordinary Characteristics' are of the same origin, so the Association acquiesced to your century-long fight."

"But it's different for me, a demon hunter from the Hawk Faction. Once the association knows that I'm secretly investigating the Snake Faction, I will be held accountable by the association immediately for committing a big taboo, and I may even be expelled from the Hawk Faction."

"After all, the rules of the association cannot be challenged." "So, please forgive me for not being able to tell you all the clues I found. After all, many things here involve the secrets of the association, and you, who have left the association, are not allowed to know these."

Jet nodded, indicating that he knew Ruixi's difficulties.

After agreeing on these rules in advance, Ruixi shared some information she had found out.

Those involved include not only the Holy Communion and the Snake Faction of the Demon Hunter Association, but also a group of "Wolf Faction traitors" who had long since defected from the association.

These Wolf Faction traitors were also the key driving force behind the destruction of the entire 'Wolf Faction Demon Hunter'.

That's right, there is no "Wolf Faction" in the Demon Hunter Association today.

Those former wolf-faction demon hunters.

Apart from a few traitors who have joined the Holy Communion, perhaps Jet is the only one left alive.

After all, the "Wolf-Snake War" fifteen years ago shocked the entire extraordinary world.

Because in that epic battle, too many people died.

So many that even many extraordinary associations that were not the Demon Hunter Guild were forced to take action themselves.

Prevent this "wolf and snake dispute" from expanding further and spreading to other places.

From this we can see how tragic and terrifying the "wolf-snake battle" was.

As for the outcome of this battle, it ended with the victory of the 'Snake Faction'.

As the loser, the Wolf Faction not only completely lost the protection of the Demon Hunter Association, but was also besieged by the Snake Faction for a long time.

However, the 'Wolf Faction Demon Hunters' were almost wiped out in the process.

However, the extraordinary characteristics represented by the 'Wolf Faction' did not disappear, but were divided into two new factions.

One faction is the "Moon-Chasing Wolves" like Jet, who are protected by the "Akkad Family".

Another faction is the 'Moon Devouring Wolves', which was founded by the Wolf Clan traitors in the Holy Communion.

Although the current Jet is completely different from the former "Wolf Faction" in terms of identity and extraordinary characteristics.

But deep down in his heart, he still considered himself a member of the 'Wolf Faction Demon Hunter'.

That's why he secretly asked Ruixi, the hawk-style demon hunter, to help him investigate the various strange things revealed in the "Wolf-Snake War" that year.

You must know that before the final result came out, the wolf faction had always had the upper hand in this battle between wolf and snake.

Amid Jet's serious expression, Ruixi told him a piece of news that Jet had never expected.

"Jeter, according to my investigation, I found that during the Wolf-Snake dispute, the relationship between the Holy Communion and the Snake Cult might be much closer than you thought. The relationship was so deep that it might have exceeded the scope allowed by the association to a certain extent."

"I think you can understand what this means without me saying anything."

As soon as these words came out, Jet's pupils shrank instantly.

Because Jet had actually thought of similar speculations a long time ago.

It's just that I haven't jumped to any conclusions because I have no clues or evidence.

But now that Ruixi said so, it proves that this matter is not groundless.

After all, the Hawk Hunters are famous for their "sharpness" in the association.

If they say they have discovered something, then they have discovered something.

The thought that the Snake Clan might have won a dirty victory by "breaking the rules" made me feel a little embarrassed.

Jet, who has been cultivating himself for many years, is unable to control the wildness that has been dormant in his heart for a long time.

Fortunately, under the influence of the Akkad family, he has become much calmer and quickly calmed down.

After calming down, Jet asked in a deep voice: "But what does this have to do with the Thorn Territory mentioned in your letter?"

After thinking for a moment, Ruixi made an exception and said some things she shouldn't have said, including the whereabouts of the snake demon hunter.

"Because not only are there people from the Holy Communion who are suspected of having been here, but also..."

Before Ruixi could finish her words, Jet immediately responded, "Even the venomous snakes of the Snake Sect have come here by coincidence, right?"

Ruixi did not give a clear answer, but sometimes not responding is also a response.

After understanding all this, Jet looked up at the bright full moon in the sky and gave a cruel smile.

"Things...are really becoming more and more interesting."
