Sneak Attack
Matthew had rescued a person who was attacked by venomous creatures while fishing at Cadmus Lake.
This was also how Matthew found Cadmus Lake.
Matthew frowned. “You know about that angler?”
The man let out a bitter laugh. “Of course I do. I’m violating the rules by breeding creatures here. If
someone gets attacked, then I would be committing an unforgivable sin. So, I will count the number of
creatures every day to see if any of them are missing. If there’s a missing creature, then I must
immediately find the people who entered this area and look for the person who was attacked and treat
them! When I found the angler, his body had recovered. At first, I couldn’t figure out who cured him, but
now, I finally know!”
Matthew couldn’t help being surprised. Initially, he thought that this man was similar to Sanchez and the
others, who had no regard for human life.
To his surprise, he even thought about healing people who were attacked by the creatures, which was
beyond Matthew’s expectation.
After thinking for a moment, Matthew said, “No matter what, breeding creatures in the city is crossing the
line!”
The man sighed. “I know. According to the rules, I should cut off my hands, return to Orleans, and never
set foot outside Orleans. But, I have important things to do, so I can’t leave. Sir, I wonder if you will be so
kind as to punish me after I’ve settled my business!”
Matthew was unmoved. “What’s so important that you’re willing to throw your life away for it?”
The man shook his head. “This is an Orleans matter. Please forgive me for not telling you. Also, this
matter has nothing to do with you, sir.”
Matthew frowned slightly because he knew what the man was talking about. He must be looking for
Jinny too.
But, the problem was that Matthew didn’t know why this man was looking for Jinny.
However, at least this man was much stronger than the voodoo clan members Matthew met before.
There was no need to mention Sanchez. The owner of the snake centipede whom he met before was
cruel and cunning. One could tell they were bad news from just one glance.
This man, on the other hand, is quite responsible.
It was rare to find voodoo summoners who would think of healing the people harmed by the venomous
creatures.
While Matthew was pondering it, a faint sound cut through the air.
Frowning, he quickly took two steps back, then a flying squirrel landed where he stood earlier.
If he had been a few seconds slower, the flying squirrel would definitely have landed on him.
The flying squirrel missed, so it turned around and lunged for Matthew.
Matthew’s expression became cold. In his left hand, he took out a silver needle, then threw it and pinned
the flying squirrel to the tree next to him.
In the darkness, a man roared.
Immediately afterward, several more venomous creatures rushed out and charged straight at Matthew.
Matthew held the porcelain vase in his arms. Lately, when he went out, he would go and borrow some
venomous creatures from Jinny for protection.
If he ran into Orleans’ members, using venomous creatures to deal with venomous creatures was the
most convenient.
At this moment, the man suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Matthew, stopping all the venomous
creatures.
He muttered a few words in the direction of the woods, obviously in Orleans, which Matthew couldn’t
understand at all.
The person hidden in the woods returned several responses. He sounded furious and discontented.
There was a cold look on the man’s face, and he said a few things out of anger, seemingly scolding the
person in the woods.
Feeling angry too, the person in the woods hissed. Then, the venomous creatures broke free of the
man’s grasp and rushed straight toward Matthew.
The man’s expression changed, and he quickly rushed over to stop all the creatures.
He shouted at Matthew, “Run! He wants to kill you!”
