Chapter Seventy-Four: The Death of the Crow
Starwind walks into this desert village.
The territory of this village is covered with yellow sand. The ruined walls are broken, and as far as the eye can see, everything is like this.
There is no one in the village, but there is a well in the middle, and the water in the well is still surging.
"The well is not dry, but no one lives in it. Xingfeng was full of doubts, "Forget it, I'll find a room to see how it goes...... You might be able to find the whereabouts of the crows. ”
On the way to the road, suddenly a hard thing was kicked under his feet. Then a cloud of sand was raised......
Starwind saw a white object peeking out of the ground. Then he used his spiritual power to draw the wind and wanted to gouge this thing out.
The yellow sand dispersed. A white bone emerged from the sand nest. This bone is the size of a human bone.
"Looks like there's been a little change in this village......" Starwind muttered to himself.
Starwind looked at the endless sand on all sides and felt his own insignificance. How do you find clues to the crows in this huge place?
Starwind opened the bamboo scroll. But there is nothing on the bamboo roll except for a few basic information.
Starwind disappointedly retracted the bamboo roll into the storage ring, looking at the white bones, there was still a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
"That's all there is to it......" Starwind was going to look around for other clues.
But when he dug up the fourth bone, he felt the sand get a little damp. Even though the water was very close to the well. But it still aroused Xingfeng's suspicions.
This water should have been beaten out and poured here, and it should not be long.
But the bones looked old. It is believed that the village was looted in the early years. The water from this well, if you guess correctly, someone must have been here not long ago.
Now let's analyze this information. What the director said was that there had been reports of seeing crows. And the news also reached the Thousand Blades Director, if that's the case, there should be a Thousand Blades spy here.
But the Director said that it would be too expensive for him to hire his own assassin, and that if he really wanted to track him, wouldn't it be better for the agent to track him down? So there are two situations, one is that the secret agent is weak and is inferior to the crow, and the second is that the agent is not a secret agent in the first place.
But the probability of the first case is lower. Because in order to become a thousand-bladed secret agent, you must first have some strength and means. Otherwise, when you get the news, you can't protect yourself when you encounter danger, so how to ensure that the news reaches the hands of the Thousand Blades Supervisor?
"According to the second situation, if that person is not a secret agent, who will it be?" Since there are no clues, it is better to analyze them from the beginning.
"It's me!" a deep voice rippled from around the starwind.
Starwind stood up and looked around, but there was no one.
"Who are you?" Starwind was still looking around.
If it's a crow, it's not good, Xingfeng never knows what kind of strength the crow is. Starwind is not entirely sure that it can defeat the crow.
But since the crow wants to escape, it is to hide his whereabouts. But if the whereabouts of the crow are found by himself, no one can say for sure, whether this crow will kill people and kill them.
This couldn't help but make Xingfeng break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm right in front of you!" the deep voice sounded again.
Starwind looked up and saw an old man with white hair. The old man was in high spirits, dressed in white, hanging in the air, like a god descending from heaven. Keep your hands crossed over your chest. Looking at Xingfeng, Yu Yu said: "I found out about Bai Crow, and I found out several times that he was going to be unfavorable to you, so I fought him many times. ”
"Dare to ask, senior, ...... are you" Xingfeng paused and asked timidly.
As far as the eye can see, the sky is full of yellow sand. The sudden appearance of a big living person is indeed scary enough.
"You don't have to know who I am, but I can tell you that I am from the Martial Spirit Continent and have been entrusted by someone to help you! The person you are looking for, go from here and find the next village! You can see it!" the old man finished speaking, and disappeared.
"Help me, why do you want to help me?" Xingfeng was curious, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his mind, and Xingfeng suddenly recalled the old man's words.
"Entrusted by someone to help me? He is from the Martial Spirit Continent! How do I remember that Brother Lonely Yuan and Brother Cheng Xuan are returning to the Martial Spirit Continent? Could it be that he was sent by Brother Lonely Yuan or Brother Cheng Xuan to help him?" Xingfeng thought so, and his heart was filled with joy.
Following the old man's instructions, Xingfeng walked out of this deserted village, and after walking for two hours, he saw another village.
There is a towering tree at the head of the village. A man is being tied to a tree. That person, Xingfeng is all too familiar, it is Bai Crow.
But why was he tied up? Xingfeng was amazed. Doesn't this indicate that if you want to kill, you have to listen to the honorable convenience?
"Kid, we're meeting again, will you let me down, I'll show you a lot of fun things!" said the crow, with an unpredictable smile on his face, like a pleading, like a suit, and a mixture of other things.
Starwind ignored it.
The old man reappeared next to Xingfeng and said, "This person, you can deal with it!"
"I'm only here to ask for information, not to kill. Xingfeng said helplessly, "Besides, you have the ability to control Bai Crow, why don't you kill him?"
"I won't kill him!" the old man pouted, with only endless disgust in his eyes, "I'm afraid of dirty my hands! ”
"But you did it!" Starwind said.
"Yes, but I didn't kill him, you can solve it yourself!" the old man said, and disappeared......
Leave Starwind and Crows behind.
"Little brother, you see that your mission has been accomplished. The mission didn't say kill me!, why don't you just let me go......" Bai Yao pleaded in a very flattering tone.
Xingfeng looked at Bai Crow, his eyes full of indifference, "You're right! So...... So be it......"
After saying that, Xingfeng turned around and left......
"Huh...... ...... Little brother, let me go too!" cried the crow.
"I didn't seem to say that I was going to release you on my mission! you can only leave it like this for ......the time being," Xingfeng left a sentence.
and disappeared from the crow's field of vision.
Suddenly, a knife pierced through the crow's back and out of his chest.
The crow looked at the red blade on his chest, his eyes dimmed a lot, the light gradually faded, and there was despair in his eyes.
"You have done a lot of evil, you should have died! Whoever told him to be too soft-hearted, and at first glance he lacked experience, then if he didn't kill him, I would kill him for him......" The old man whispered in the ear of the crow.
Since then, the crows have been lifeless. The old man looked at the direction where Xingfeng left, and said helplessly: "It's too merciful, and he will also suffer!"
Xingfeng returned to the Thousand Blades Pavilion with the Assassin Order in his hand, but no one stopped him along the way.
The Thousand Blades Main Pavilion was informed, and the Thousand Blades supervisor met Xingfeng.
"Mission done, so fast?" the director was a little surprised.
"That's right! Xuanling Realm East, I left a spiritual power mark, and he fixed it on a tree! The director can find him at any time! Kill him, let him go! As long as you give the order, I will do it immediately!" Xingfeng said.
"Good!" the director clapped his hands, "just to you, you're already my thousand-bladed assassin, congratulations, hummingbird!"
As he spoke, the Director gave Starwind a brand-new badge and added, "This is the Assassin Order! In the future, you will receive bounties and points for each mission you complete.
These points count towards your Assassin's Order, and there are a lot of good things in the Thousand Blades Treasury that you have to exchange for points.
And these points will be distributed to the corresponding Assassin Order with each month's monthly salary. The higher you rank on the list, the more you get each month. You should know what to do!"
The meaning of the supervisor is actually very simple, if you want to get good things, you have to accumulate points. Points are only earned in rankings and missions.
"So....... Director, Hummingbird has one more thing, please Lord Director!" Xingfeng said very respectfully, for fear that something would go wrong. After all, it's a matter of trouble for the supervisor.
"It's okay!," the director said.
"In front of the Shao family, there are often people who use split-tail arrows today to assassinate the members of the Shao family, and after identification, this arrow is indeed exclusive to the Thousand Blades Pavilion. I, Hummingbird, want to know, who did the Thousand Blades Pavilion give to this batch of split-tailed arrows?" Xingfeng said.
"This matter needs to be investigated, the amount of work is a bit large! A few days later, is it good to give a reply to the hummingbird?" said the supervisor.
The director has already said so. Starwind can't say anything else. You can only retire.
On the way to Iron Rhino's residence.
Xingfeng saw the "sword idiot", his face was gray, his head was lowered, as if he was thinking about something, when he walked, he would make a few movements from time to time, and he felt that his behavior was extremely strange.
Xingfeng knows that it is estimated that this "sword idiot" has gone to compete with the iron rhino again, and it seems that he still lost!
The "sword idiot" didn't see the arrival of the star wind, and actually rubbed his shoulders and passed by.
Xingfeng was also embarrassed to disturb the "sword idiot", this person with a strange temper, Xingfeng felt that it was better to stay away. I can't tell if I don't say a good word, and the "sword idiot" will stab me with a sword.
"Starwind, ahno, hummingbird! is back?" Iron Rhino did not stay in the bamboo house, but stood outside, as if he had known that Starwind was coming.
"It's back!" Starwind was released, holding his assassin's warrant and thinking about the Iron Rhino swinging.
"I've inquired in Chenran Pavilion, it's not easy to enter the cultivation room of Xiaohu at that time! This secret charm is either a word, or a sentence, or a strange pattern. But since it was given to you in the form of a roaring tiger, it should be given to you along with the secret talisman!" Iron Rhino said
"That's right!" Xingfeng remembered that Howling Tiger had written that word in the palm of his hand. A twinkle in his eyes......
