265: Chapter 265 Xiao Guang is Stolen!

Nie Ning rubbed his head; the wine wizards drank was indeed potent!

But suddenly, Nie Ning froze for a moment.

"Eh? Where is my fox?"

Activating the contract on his arm, Nie Ning couldn't help but frown.

He actually couldn't find it!

Someone must have shielded the contract.

Nie Ning's expression turned grim.

Trying to recall last night's events, Xiao Guang hadn't left his sight and had even been sleeping inside his clothes the whole time.

Then Xiao Guang had poked its head out, affected by the noisy environment; during that time...

Nie Ning was suddenly startled; those two witches were suspicious!

Because only those two witches had seen Xiao Guang at that time!

After staying in the tavern for a while longer, he had returned to the inn in a daze, but when did Xiao Guang disappear?

Thinking it over, those two witches were the most suspicious!

Nie Ning's face was dark: "These sons of bitches, bullying me now? They don't know when to fear death!"

Putting on his clothes, Nie Ning got up and headed toward the tavern.

...

The tavern was located on a bustling street in Blood Rainbow City.

Looking at the street filled with people, Nie Ning felt someone watching him as soon as he approached the tavern.

Scanning the tavern entrance, he saw a wizard leaning against the wall, flipping through a wizard's book.

Ignoring him, Nie Ning walked straight into the tavern.

The interior was spacious and luxuriously decorated, with a dancer performing on a stage toward the back.

Although it was daytime, there were still many people sitting in the tavern.

Arriving at the bar, Nie Ning ordered a drink and then casually looked at the bartender.

"I'm looking for Dale and Karen. Do you know where they are?"

As soon as Nie Ning spoke, he immediately felt several waves of malice.

"Sir, we don't have those two people here."

The bartender said with a smile.

But Nie Ning saw an unnatural look in the other's eyes.

"Do you recognize me?"

Nie Ning asked with a calm expression.

"Sorry, I don't know who you are..."

The bartender shook his head, seemingly really not recognizing Nie Ning.

But as the person who had booked the whole place last night, Nie Ning hadn't even changed his clothes; with the other party's Great Knight eyesight and memory, how could he possibly not recognize him!

Something was definitely fishy!

At this moment, someone behind Nie Ning began to approach him.

However, they didn't do anything excessive, simply standing quietly not far away and watching Nie Ning.

Nie Ning glanced back, then placed two mid-grade magic crystals on the table and walked straight out of the tavern.

No one stopped him during this time.

Of course, with this group of people who had at most Rank Two strength, they couldn't possibly block Nie Ning's path.

Since Nie Ning was a newcomer and didn't yet understand the inner workings of Blood Rainbow City, acting rashly in broad daylight would surely have repercussions for him.

...

Nie Ning returned to the inn and looked out through his room window, eventually locking his gaze onto two men eating in the small restaurant across the street.

Just now, when he was returning, he had sensed someone tailing him.

All signs pointed to that tavern being problematic!

Nie Ning was not in a hurry.

The Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox was a rare type of exotic beast; even if captured, it wouldn't be harmed immediately.

But it was precisely because of its rarity that people would harbor ill intentions.

Furthermore, breaking a contract was not that simple, but for a Jade-Colored Light-Treading Fox, it was entirely worth the cost.

"Eat more; after today, you won't have the chance to eat again..."

Nie Ning murmured softly while looking at the restaurant across the way.

Whether or not it was the tavern people who took Xiao Guang, that group definitely had issues.

Since that was the case, there was nothing more to be said.

...

Late at night.

On a tall building near the tavern, Nie Ning looked down expressionlessly.

Even though it was late at night, many people still lingered on the street.

Nie Ning took the sealing box from his bosom and released the Human-Faced Balloon sealed inside.

Because Corruptors were extremely hazardous, and the stronger they were, the more severe the destruction they caused.

Once they reached Rank Three, even if they did nothing, a Corruptor could influence its surroundings; this was why Nie Ning rarely brought out the Human-Faced Balloon and Jerky Bear Head now.

These were not things he could control; once released, they would inevitably cause unimaginable destruction.

If a wizard were accidentally transformed into a Corruptor, the situation would become uncontrollable.

But Nie Ning didn't care about that anymore.

Being in an unfamiliar place, finding Xiao Guang was as difficult as reaching the heavens; once the contract was broken, there would be no chance at all.

Glancing at the slightly swaying Flesh Spider beside him, a look of ruthlessness appeared in Nie Ning's eyes.

As the Flesh Spider jumped off the building, it wasn't long before sounds of fighting and screaming erupted from the tavern one after another.

Immediately after, many people ran out of the tavern, fleeing in all directions while wailing for their lives.

Passersby, upon learning there was a Corruptor in the tavern, didn't dare approach at all; even Transcendents with Rank Two strength avoided it like the plague.

Seeing that the time was right, black hair began to grow on Nie Ning's head, and in an instant, it transformed into a black cat head.

As blood mist rose around him, Nie Ning flew through the tavern window like a blood cloud.

...

Just as he entered the tavern, a pungent smell of blood invaded Nie Ning's nostrils.

The entire hall was in chaos, with mottled bloodstains and severed limbs everywhere; several wizards and knights were attacking the Flesh Spider.

But facing the Flesh Spider, which was already at the peak of Rank Three, these people had no chance of winning at all.

In just a few moments, two wizards fell in pools of blood.

And with the arrival of the blood cloud that Nie Ning had transformed into, the remaining people in the tavern looked as if they had seen a savior.

As the blood cloud dissipated, the people in the area were not afraid because of Nie Ning's cat head.

After all, they were all members of the Transcendents and naturally knew that Bloodline Wizards among wizards possessed specific transformation abilities.

Some powerful Bloodline Wizards could even transform into the creatures that were the source of their bloodline.

"Save me, save me..."

A knight with broken legs reached out toward Nie Ning and cried out.

Seeing this, Nie Ning raised his hand, and several Wind-Thunder Blades shredded the knight.

Seeing this, the others in the hall couldn't help but be stunned by Nie Ning's actions.

Because of this, one person revealed a weakness to the Flesh Spider and was instantly pierced through their vitals by flesh tentacles.

Seeing this, the rest were jolted awake, and several people surrounded Nie Ning.

"There are quite a lot of people; as expected of a big city."

Looking at the knights and wizards in the tavern, Nie Ning unconsciously murmured softly.

Compared to Borton's small tavern, the two were worlds apart; there were over a dozen Transcendents present alone, not to mention those who had already died.

Nie Ning simply gave the knights and wizards in front of him a calm glance, and immediately several Ice Chains swept in from all directions, wrapping them up like Zongzi.

...
