131: Blood Rose, a bizarre secret organization

Black Marsh leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Kid, go in and take a look. I can sense something very familiar in there!"

"What is it?" The Consultant watched it warily.

But Black Marsh refused to answer clearly, merely shaking its head, letting out a strange laugh, and then said:

"Hehehe, you'll know when you go. You might even get some benefits from it!"

Benefits?

The Consultant was a little tempted. He thought it over carefully. Anyway, Black Marsh was by his side, protecting his safety.

No matter how dangerous this forbidden zone was, no matter how powerful that magical beast was, could it be stronger than an Eighth-Order Magical Beast like Black Marsh?!

Thinking of this, the Consultant looked at the two children beside him and said:

"Alright, I'll go search the forbidden zone. You two stay here and wait for someone to pick you up, understand?"

The two children nodded obediently.

The Consultant casually found a few Bounty Hunters who had just been rescued, explained the situation to them, and then turned and headed towards the forbidden zone.

Following the children's guidance, the Consultant crossed the square and arrived at the edge of Sen County.

This place was originally an open pasture, but after the massive invasion of magical beasts, it had become a ruin.

Giant trees and vines covered the traces of past human activity, turning this place into a green hell.

The corpses of beasts were buried in the soil, and the air was filled with a putrid smell.

Steel and trees unnaturally merged into one, adding a touch of eeriness to this place!

This was the so-called forbidden zone, and also where that Eighth-Order Magical Beast resided!

The Consultant looked around, made sure there was nothing nearby, and then headed deeper.

After walking for a while, the Consultant asked aloud:

"Black Marsh, can you detect the presence of other people here?"

With the Consultant's reconnaissance abilities, he was far from being able to search for the sacrificed child in such a large area, so he could only seek Black Marsh's help.

Black Marsh didn't speak immediately.

Its body coiled around the Consultant's shoulder, its head held high, gazing at its surroundings, its scarlet forked tongue flicking constantly, sensing the scent in the air.

A few minutes later, it let out a low sound and said:

"There are people, but..."

Black Marsh's tone was somewhat puzzled. After a pause, it continued, "More than one person!"

"Huh?" The Consultant was stunned upon hearing this.

More than one person?

Isn't this a forbidden zone?

The Consultant frowned and urged, "Take me there!"

Unexpectedly, Black Marsh shook its head upon hearing the Consultant's urging, turned to look in the distance, and said:

"No need, they're already coming towards you!"

The Consultant grew even more puzzled upon hearing this.

He had thought Black Marsh was referring to others being with the sacrificed child.

But when he released his magic power to sense his surroundings, he discovered that those rapidly approaching were people with strange auras.

Before long, some vines not far away were cut open by a sharp blade, and then, several people appeared before the Consultant.

It was a team of people, all in their twenties or thirties.

The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing a brown trench coat and a black fedora, holding a sharp dagger that gleamed with a cold light.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen people, all dressed similarly, seemingly from the same place.

When the few people saw the Consultant, looks of confusion appeared on their faces.

The leader walked up to the Consultant and asked:

"Young man, who are you, and why are you here?"

His voice was a little hoarse, but there was no hostility in his tone; rather, it conveyed some concern.

The Consultant looked up at the man, and as the system's ability activated, his information appeared before his eyes.

[Name: Xu Tian.]

[Race: Human.]

[Awakened Class: Blood Lord.]

[Level: 70.]

[Faction: Blood Rose.]

[System Evaluation: A class that controls blood power. Its organization has been lurking on the entire continent for centuries, possessing special secret techniques!]

Level 70!

The Consultant was slightly startled.

Moreover, he had never even heard of the class Blood Lord or the faction Blood Rose.

But the other party was friendly and exceptionally strong.

The Consultant naturally replied kindly, "My name is Consultant, I am a Bounty Hunter, and I'm here in this forbidden zone to carry out a mission!"

After all, they were strangers, so he didn't explain too much.

And Xu Tian, after hearing the Consultant's reply, nodded thoughtfully, then looked back at his companions behind him.

The Consultant also glanced at the people behind him.

Just like Xu Tian, all of them were from the mysterious organization 'Blood Rose'.

Blood Lord, Blood Priest, Blood Scholar... it seemed that all the awakened classes of the Blood Rose organization were somehow related to blood.

From this point of view, they were not with Yuan Qing, which made the Consultant breathe a sigh of relief.

But the Consultant didn't mention this. He deliberately acted curious, looked at Xu Tian, and asked:

"Who are you people, and why are you here?"

Although the Consultant looked young, Xu Tian didn't seem to underestimate him and said amiably.

"My name is Xu Tian, and we are also Bounty Hunters, here to search for a missing person."

A hint of coldness flashed in the Consultant's eyes upon hearing this reply.

Bounty Hunters?

Isn't that pure nonsense?!

The Consultant immediately became vigilant, but he didn't show it on his face.

After all, whatever these people were planning had nothing to do with him.

And from the current situation, it seemed that they could... cooperate?

And Xu Tian seemed to share his thoughts. Before the Consultant could speak, he proactively said:

"Young man, how about we act together? That way, we can look out for each other!"

Xu Tian couldn't discern the Consultant's awakened class or level, but he believed that anyone who dared to enter this forbidden zone alone must be strong!

And this coincided with the Consultant's thoughts.

"Of course!"

The Consultant smiled faintly and nodded at Xu Tian.

Xu Tian seemed very happy. He enthusiastically invited the Consultant to the front of the team to search with him, casually asking along the way:

"By the way, young man, you look very young, and you're carrying quite a few things..."

Xu Tian looked at the Slime swaying on the Consultant's head, and Black Marsh, a black shadow occasionally flashing from his collar, and asked curiously:

"May I be so bold as to ask what your awakened class is? That way, if we encounter danger, we can cooperate better!"

This question was not excessive. For a team, it was essential to know each other's awakened classes to facilitate subsequent cooperation.

Moreover, the Consultant was very curious about Xu Tian and their blood-related awakened classes, so he replied:

"I am a Beast Tamer..." The Consultant paused, not continuing to reveal his identities as a Magic Swordsman and Rune Master.

But just that alone made Xu Tian's expression somewhat surprised. He looked the Consultant up and down and asked in astonishment:

"A Beast Tamer? Are there still such young Beast Tamers on this continent?!"
