Chapter 2231


    The cow embarked on the journey with Zeke and his men and headed in the southeastern direction.


    The cow was moving so slowly that Zeke eventually lost patience. He then enveloped the cow with his


    energy and flew the animal up in the air.


    The cow was terrified. What happened? Why am I flying? How did he do it?


    Is he a devil? Did I escape from a devil and fall into another devil''s trap? Oh, God!


    Soon, the cow led them to an old and deserted vige in the mountains.


    There was not a single person in sight on the streets even it was during the day.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    The vigers were all sleeping in their respective houses.


    Zeke looked around and noticed the vige, like Durbaine, had also farmed the same type of beans.


    Clearly, Dullioud had used the same method to manipte the vigers to grow those beans.


    Zeke took a depth and sighed. I''m sure Dullioud has more bases like this in the other parts of the world.


    Dullioud must have turned all these vigers here into puppets and manipted them to farm these


    beans for the organization.


    But why? What purpose do these beans serve?


    At this point, Zeke still had no clue how to get rid of the worms from the vigers'' bodies.


    Only the culprit could solve the problem. That''s why I must crack down on Dullioud and get Cesar to


    give us the antidote.


    Zeke looked at Rick and ordered, “Think of a way to lure Dullioud out.”


    Rick nodded. “All right. Please give me five minutes.”


    After studying the surroundings for a few seconds, Rick started scribbling some forme on the


    ground.


    Three minutester, Rick looked to the east and said, “Great Marshal, based on my calctions, I


    deduce Dullioud''s base is in the eastern part of the vige. More specifically, it should be at The Door


    of Life.”


    “Come on, let''s go. I should be able to lure them out,” he added.


    Zeke and his men then walked toward The Door of Life.


    The Door of Life was in fact a forest.


    The trees and shrubs had all withered, and the forest was tannin-brown as it was entirely covered in


    dried leaves.


    Not a single soul was there.


    Rick took out a flute and said, “I''ll try to summon them. Please be patient.”


    He then started ying a strange melody on the flute.


    Secondster, someone from a distance responded by ying a few airy notes on a flute.


    Rick continuedmunicating with the mysterious figure with his flute.


    Sole Wolf, who had been observing their secretmunication method for a while, was afraid that Rick


    would betray them. He went up and threatened the man, “You better don''t trick us, Rick. I''ll kill you right


    away if you sell us out.”


    Rick immediately defended himself, “Don''t get me wrong, guys. I''m only doing this to get them to verify


    my identity. They wille and meet me soon.”


    Rick noddad. “All right. asa giva ma fiva minutas.”


    Aftar studying tha surroundings for a faw saconds, Rick startad scribbling soma forma on tha


    ground.


    Thraa minutastar, Rick lookad to tha aast and said, “Graat Marshal, basad on my calctions, I


    daduca Dullioud''s basa is in tha aastarn part of tha viga. Mora spacifically, it should ba at Tha Door


    of Lifa.”


    “Coma on,t''s go. I should ba a to lura tham out,” ha addad.


    Zaka and his man than walkad toward Tha Door of Lifa.


    Tha Door of Lifa was in fact a forast.


    Tha traas and shrubs had all witharad, and tha forast was tannin-brown as it was antiraly covarad in


    driadavas.


    Not a sin soul was thara.


    Rick took out a fluta and said, “I''ll try to summon tham. asa ba patiant.”


    Ha than startad ying a stranga malody on tha fluta.


    Sacondstar, somaona from a distanca raspondad by ying a faw airy notas on a fluta.


    Rick continuadmunicating with tha mystarious figura with his fluta.


    S Wolf, who had baan obsarving thair sacratmunication mathod for a wh, was afraid that Rick


    would batray tham. Ha want up and thraatanad tha man, “You battar don''t trick us, Rick. I''ll kill you right


    away if you sall us out.”


    Rick immadiataly dafandad himsalf, “Don''t gat ma wrong, guys. I''m only doing this to gat tham to varify


    my idantity. Thay wi and maat ma soon.”


    All of a sudden, a few men bounced up from the leaf piles.


    In a swift move, they surrounded Zeke and his men.


    The leader of the bunch was bearded man.


    The bearded man stared icily at Rick and asked, “Which group are you from? Howe I''ve never


    seen you before?”


    Rick immediately exined, “I''m from Durbaine, one of Dullioud''s bases.”


    The bearded man gave him a puzzled look. “Durbaine? I haven''t heard of it before. What are you doing


    here?”


    Rick answered, “Oh, I''vee to introduce these friends to you.”


    He then pointed at Zeke and his men.


    The bearded man got even more confused. “Friends? What f*cking nonsense are you talking about?


    Why do I need you to introduce your friends to me?”


    Rick let out a dryugh and said, “You wouldn''t get a chance to befriend these people if I didn''t


    introduce them to you. You should count yourself lucky.”


    If it were not for me, these people wouldn''t even get a chance to see Great Marshal in his full glory.


    The hell with you!


    The bearded man grew impatient. “Get straight to the point or get lost. Don''t waste my time.”


    Rick nced at Zeke and said, “I''ve done my part, Mr. Williams. I''ll leave the rest to you now.”
