Among the Usoro family, save for Frostine Usoro, Alex had come to care most for Abstal Usoro, an old man who valued affection and righteousness…
“When my father bought time for our people to escape, he blew himself up…” Percival said. “The remaining 300 Shadow Guards also did the same… But, those who survived were few, with some being old, weak, sick, and disabled. It’s impossible they survive the Misty Swamp.
After saying those words, Percival finally couldn’t hold back anymore, and he knelt to the ground in pain.
Alex clenched his fist, feeling the endless grief and anger rolling in his heart.
Then, Percival continued, “The master of the Plenilune Sect has personally set out, and it seems that he’s looking for you because he wants Elder Quint’s gourd treasure and storage ring! The Usoro family are people of integrity, and we would rather die than betray our master. The result…”
“Arghhh!”
Seething with rage, Alex roared wildly. He never expected things to turn out like this. He hadn’t killed anyone from the Usoro family, but he had still indirectly caused their deaths.
If he didn’t avenge them, he wouldn’t be a man.
“Paper Doll Curse of Three Realms!
“Go!”
Alex grabbed a large number of paper dolls and scattered them into the sky. Each paper doll turned into a black shadow midair and quickly flew in all directions. The old patriarch was gone. Alex couldn’t let the Usoro family go extinct. Even if it were only one, he would rescue those family members who had fled.
Alex turned and looked at the cave in the hills, and he furrowed his brows.
This place was too conspicuous, and the Plenilune Sect people would definitely be able to find it. So, he hurriedly said, “Senior is inside the cave, and it’s not a suitable place to stay. We have to find another way and head out to look for the people.”
Shortly after that, Alex headed into the cave. Frostine was still practicing the Green Lotus Period. Though she hadn’t been practicing for long, Alex could already see that she had a very high degree of compatibility with this technique. It had just been a while since she started, and the phantom of Nine Tails behind her back had become a lot more solid than before.
However, Alex needed to interrupt her at this moment.
Not only had he found that it was not dangerous for the time being, but he even found an Usoro member in distress.
***
It was Frostine’s fourth sister-in-law. At first glance, it was a woman who looked virtuous and gentle. However, she was also very delicate and weak, holding a little seven or eight-year-old girl in her hand. A crocodile had appeared in front of them.
It was a giant crocodile at least fifty meters in length.
“Mommy, I’m scared! ” the little girl’s voice was trembling.
“D-Don’t be afraid… It… It can’t see us. It won’t bite us.”
As soon as she said that, the crocodile opened its massive jaws and lunged at them.
