CH 14

Although Mason had already had a successful experience, there was still a problem with the surgery of Kite Man.

Of course, the problem was not with Mason.

Mainly, Kite Man moved uncontrollably when the surgical knife cut open his wound, which directly caused Mason's surgical knife to almost pierce his spine.

But although it sounded terrifying, it was actually a good thing.

The spinal injury caused Kite Man to immediately pass out and was suspected to have high-level paralysis. In the subsequent surgery, he did not cause any trouble for Mason.

The micro-bomb was accurately removed and stuffed into the mouth of the zombie field mouse brought by Kite Man.

Then Mason poured a whole bottle of Bone Spirit into Kite Man's mouth to heal his damaged spine, which allowed him to wake up twenty minutes later.

"I feel like I was thrown into a crematorium!"

As he rubbed his healed neck and uncomfortably wiped his sweaty body, Kite Man complained, "Is this the taste of that damn magic potion? I don't want to drink it for the rest of my life."

"You should thank yourself for finding that bottle of Bone Spirit just now, otherwise you would have to lie in bed and drink rice soup for the rest of your life."

Mason snorted and casually threw the blood-stained forest ranger key to Kite Man, and said briefly, "Take this to the Forbidden Forest, that black forest. Don't be afraid if there are zombie beasts chasing you. That's what we need. You take it in circles, and I will go confront Old K. You know when to lead those crazy zombie beasts over, right?"

"That is indeed a good plan, but it's useless."

Kite Man looked at the key in his hand. He put on his funny green bodysuit and said, "Even if I lead the crazy beasts over, Old K's ability to flash can easily dodge them. Maybe those beasts will eat you first."

"No, they won't! Trust me, as long as you lead the right beasts, I won't have any problems."

Mason put on his clothes and said confidently, "Old K has something that can make them go crazy, and the best part is that the old hunter himself doesn't know it. But you're right. To ensure that everything goes smoothly, we still need to find another thing. It should be near the Forbidden Forest. Are you rested? We should set off."

"At your service, boss."

Kite Man grinned. It was clear that being free made this man in his thirties extremely happy and excited. He put on his parachute bag again and made a gesture to Mason before drifting into the sky with the wind.

After Mason packed everything up and shrank the birdcage containing Professor McGee, he poured fuel onto the ground full of blood and flesh and walked out of the abandoned witch dormitory. He pulled out his double-barreled pistol and fired a shot in that direction.

The flames burned, burning everything clean.

He didn't go to find any other lost treasures on this land. He just followed Kite Man's guidance in the sky and went through the chaotic ruins towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

On the other side, Old K, who had just walked out of a tall tower in the ruins, still holding a large bag of things, also saw the flames in the distance.The old hunter frowned and glanced at the golden bomb controller in his hand, where three red dots were visible, which made old K feel slightly relieved.

"They are planning to betray you."

Behind old K, Bomb Girl gritted her teeth and said, "I have found out about this as you requested. I even risked my innocence for it..."

"Are you sure you have that thing, miss?"

Old K sneered, "You know, in my opinion, it's normal for someone forced to fight with bombs to have a rebellious spirit, and your sudden 'loyalty' only makes me more uneasy. Don't try to please me, and take care of your belt. Only when everyone knows what to do and what not to do, can a team move forward smoothly in a dangerous place."

This tone made Bomb Girl very unhappy, and she couldn't help but sarcastically say, "If you really understand that, how could your previous team... Sorry, I didn't mean it, I..."

"It's okay, I don't feel offended."

Old K shrugged, turned his head to glance at Bomb Girl, and said, "That was indeed a tragedy, a predictable tragedy. Sigh, sometimes I envy you young people with empty heads, who can fantasize about the truth of the world without worries. You can't see the hidden blades under the dark night, nor do you know where your blood should be spilled. Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. I should go and meet up with the team members who have ulterior motives. They are heading in the right direction. There isn't much worth noticing in this ruin. The dark forest is our next target."

---

"There is a strange little house and a farm ahead, just outside the Forbidden Forest. There is a path into the forest behind that house, but it's locked. I didn't dare to unlock it."

Kite Man controlled the direction and flew down from high altitude, landing steadily a few steps away from Mason. He pushed his golden-gray goggles and reported to the new leader, "Is the thing we're looking for there?"

"Yes, right there. I even saw the motorcycle," Mason said, putting down his binoculars outside Hagrid's house.

"A motorcycle?" Kite Man widened his eyes and said, "We risked being killed by old K just for a motorcycle that can be seen anywhere? Are you crazy, Mason, or are you actually a hardcore biker?"

"Everything you see here is not ordinary, Charles. After all, it's a wizard's collection," Mason stood up, picked up his gun and umbrella, and walked towards the farm in front of him. He threw his backpack to Kite Man and made a gesture, "You go up to the sky, use these flying engineering bombs to support me with firepower when necessary, but don't hit me."

"Watch me," Kite Man took out five flying bombs from his bag, let them hover and follow him like a group of bombers, and flew into the sky again. Meanwhile, Mason kicked open the gate of Hagrid's farm.He walked in cautiously, all the way to McGee's hut without triggering any combat warnings.

This relieved Mason, it seemed that McGee's "pets" were not here.

He took out the motorcycle key from his pocket and walked towards the shed next to the hut. He lifted the oilcloth and saw the hidden motorcycle inside.

It was a classic Royal Enfield motorcycle with a late World War II style. It looked very small and had a great gray-blue paint job. The bright headlight in front looked like eyes, and the two old-fashioned rearview mirrors did not have the exaggerated styling of a hippie motorcycle, but rather like a gentleman who had walked out of history.

Simple but not simple.

Mason was not a biker, but he really liked the retro design in front of him. He reached out and put his hand on the motorcycle's headlight, and the information label popped out quickly:

McGee's Flying Motorcycle

Quality: Excellent Engineering/Alchemy Item · Outstanding Craftsmanship

Features: Supersonic Flight · Rider Adaptation · Alchemy Engine · Hidden Compartment

Status: Well-Maintained · Sufficient Fuel

Usage: Insert the key to start the vehicle.

Manufacturer: "Sirius" · Black

Item Description: Please complete the Magic Vehicle C1 License Plate Exam at the Traffic Management Office of the Ministry of Magic before driving this motorcycle. Driving without a license is not allowed on the road. Once caught, welcome to Azkaban.

Mason curled his lips at the mischievous item description.

In fact, he always felt that these strange item descriptions were not from the character card itself, maybe some powerful bad guys were secretly "dubbing".

But that's not important.

"Click."

Mason inserted McGee's motorcycle key into the keyhole, and the low engine sound came out with a twist.

The display on the front of the motorcycle lit up, and when Mason's fingers gripped the handlebar, a strong power was transmitted to his hand, making him unable to help but slam the throttle.

Along with the joy of getting a "new toy", there was also a free prompt to "enter battle mode"...

"!!!"

Mason rolled over with his scalp numb, and fell off the motorcycle in embarrassment.

Then a huge black shadow howled and pounced from where he had just been. It hit the pillar of the shed and broke it on the spot.

The young man grabbed his critical hit shotgun and climbed up, aiming at the attacking thing in front of him.

A dog.

A Neapolitan Mastiff that should have been gentle and cute.

But now it had grown two circles as big as Professor McGee's Animagus, and became a bloodthirsty monster with a height of 1.5 meters on all fours.

From its crimson eyes and twisted fangs, one could see the danger of this thing, not to mention the dried blood and terrible wounds on its cracked skin, which not only did not make it look embarrassed and weak, but instead made it full of an indescribable ferocious attack.

The pungent saliva dripped from the pierced gums of its sharp teeth, and the low and withered whimper made Mason's scalp numb.

The weight and attack power of this thing cannot be compared to that of Professor McGee's tiger-striped cat. The young man can be sure that if he is hit by this thing, he will be done for today.

"Yaya?"

Mason tried to call it.He recognized its identity from the dog tag on the leash that strangled the zombie dog. This was Hagrid's pet, the "harmless" one among all pets.

Unfortunately, Mason's call received no response.

Perhaps this dog was a timid and docile domestic dog before its death, but after experiencing zombification, it had become one of the most dangerous things in this wasteland.

"Mason! Hide!"

The shout of the Kite Man came from above. In the instant that Mason threw himself backward, two engineering bombs whistled down and exploded near the attacking zombie dog.

The violent explosion startled the zombie dog.

But then it realized that this level of destructive power was not enough to harm it, so it pounced on Mason again.

"Buzz"

The motorcycle handle was twisted, Mason shifted gears and with a bang, he shot out just as he narrowly avoided the teeth and claws of the dog.

This flying motorcycle was incredible!

Even at its lowest gear, its speed was comparable to that of a sports car. In the blink of an eye, Mason had zoomed out a hundred meters with this treasure egg. With it, he didn't have to worry about getting his head bitten off by the zombie dog.

So while driving the motorcycle, Mason waved to Kite Man to quickly ascend into the sky. He still had Hagrid's forest ranger key on him.

That thing was stained with Hagrid's blood, and once the zombie dog smelled it, Kite Man would immediately become the first target of attack.

"Where did that dog come from? And where did that car come from?"

At the same time that Mason rushed out of the farm, the cool and flashy appearance of Old K appeared, who saw the black big dog chasing after Mason.

This thing made the old hunter's mouth curl into a smile of excitement.

He glanced at Mason, who was riding the motorcycle, then drew his own melee sword and hunting knife, and rushed forward as if he had seen his favorite prey.

Mason gracefully stopped in place and turned to watch Old K's battle, realizing that this old man had been pretending all along.

The old hunter's frontal combat power was terrifying.

The zombie dog almost instantly went berserk when it smelled the Hagrid's blood on the hunting knife in Old K's hand, but Old K didn't dodge or avoid. With his strange ghost-like fighting technique that flashed back and forth, he cut open several terrifying wounds on the zombie dog's body in just four or five exchanges.

He even easily cut off the dog's paw with a crossbow that he shot while flashing past.

Seeing Old K's almost fully suppressed combat power, Mason gestured to Kite Man in the sky, indicating that he could act now.

Kite Man didn't hesitate, turned around, and flew towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

At this moment, he was like a loyal scout, praying in his heart that Mason's plan could be perfectly realized.

He also hoped to find a fierce enough beast in the black Forbidden Forest to lure back to deal with Old K. Most importantly, the monsters in this forest had better be powerful enough, otherwise he and Mason would both have to stay here today.

"Ah!"

While Old K was single-handedly brutalizing the zombie dog, Bombshell also rushed over with a crossbow in hand.

She glanced at Mason, who was aiming at the ferocious big dog from a medium distance.

In the instant that Old K retreated, Mason and Bombshell attacked at the same time. The accurately aimed bullets burst into a bloody light on the neck of the zombie dog, and the arrow that flew past plunged into the abdomen of the zombie dog and caused a violent explosion.The attack knocked the zombie dog down, its three paws severed and body blown apart, but Old K didn't move to finish it off. He just watched with a hint of pity in his ruthless eyes.

"Are you not going to kill it?" Mason crouched down, tied his shoelaces, and quietly half-buried two engineering bombs in the crushed car tracks. He then walked over with his gun and asked. Old K put away his sword and took out his old pipe.

He said casually, "It's already dead. Leave it here. It liked this place and belongs here. Dying at home is the best outcome for a hunting dog."

Mason felt there was more to Old K's words, but before he could react, the old hunter's gaze fell on him.

Old K didn't hide anything. He lit his pipe and played with the golden bomb remote in his hand. His eyes fixed on Mason through the pungent smoke.

A touch of indifference showed in his gray pupils. "Tell me, Mason, what are you and the Kite Man planning? We can talk openly. You know, I value you a lot. I can even promise you some impolite requests. I really hope you can join my team."

The young man didn't answer. He took out everything he found in the ruins and threw them in front of Old K, even his school cap.

Old K's eyes lit up as he carefully examined the items. Mason noticed that the bomb girl had silently moved to the best position for a sneak attack, with her crossbow loaded.

It was time to reveal everything, and fate would decide who would come out on top today.
