As the final exams approached, the atmosphere in the school gradually became calm and tense, and students were everywhere rushing to the study hall or library with their books.

Lin Ze is naturally also a member of the self-study army.

After returning from the library, he habitually turned on the computer and searched the Internet for recent anomalous events, and the results were unsurprisingly unyielding, and most of them were eye-catching headline party news.

However, under the school's Weibo, Lin Ze saw someone mention that two girls had a big fight in the park, and finally even got the need for the police to stop and mediate, and it was confirmed that the two girls were close friends before this.

Coincidentally, someone below commented that he had seen something similar, the same two close girls turned their faces and tore each other on the spot, and the place where it happened was exactly the same.

Lin Ze carefully flipped through the descriptions of the two of them, and made sure that what they saw was not the same thing, and couldn't help but groan secretly.

It is not uncommon for two girls who are friends with each other to suddenly turn their faces and fight, after all, there are many plastic sisters in this world, but two very similar things happened in the same place one after another, which makes people think deeply.

With the address of the park in mind, Lin Ze decided to find a time to investigate it after the final exam.

Late at night, he logged on to "Wasteland Knife Language" as usual.

Standing among the desolate ruins and stones, Lin Ze looked up at the sky and found that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and dusk was approaching, so he decided to return to the Blackstone settlement.

He's almost finished with food in his backpack, and it's time to go back and replenish it.

As of today, Lin Ze has been in the ruins of B3 City for a month, but he has only killed 5 Holy Songworms, and the Divine Attribute Soul Energy absorbed is only 0.1%, which is still far from 1%.

Most of his energy and time were spent on cleaning up the swarm guarding the Holy Songworm, which seriously slowed down the progress, and Lin Ze had already begun to consider whether to hire a few official swordsmiths to help kill the Insect Beast, anyway, as long as he himself dealt with and killed the Holy Songworm in the end.

However, in the past month, in addition to the progress of the soul knife, there have been a lot of gains in other aspects.

First of all, the 'Insect Beast Hunter III' has been achieved, and 20 points are awarded, as Lin Ze expected, the condition for achieving the achievement is to kill 10,000 insect beasts, and so on, the achievement condition of the next 'Insect Beast Hunter IV' is mostly to kill 100,000 insect beasts, and he has completed about 15% of them so far.

Moreover, the frequent battles allowed Lin Ze's sword skills to break through to Lv4, and the qi also rose to Lv3, and the total amount increased significantly, so that the qi would not be completely consumed after only releasing seven or eight flame sword qi.

Now Lin Ze can condense the sword gang in an instant, which can be regarded as truly reaching the point of instantaneousness.

Finally, the physical fitness has increased by 1 point to 24.

The world of "Wasteland Knife Language" does not have a 50% exercise effect bonus, and because it is more difficult to grow in physical fitness, even if Lin Ze has been in this world for three or four months, and most of the time is cultivating or fighting, his physical fitness has only increased by 3 points, which is extremely slow.

"After all, it's not a 'refinement' game. ”

Shaking his head, Lin Ze set off to leave the ruins of B3 City.

It was already late at night when he returned to the settlement, so he simply went back to his residence and waited until tomorrow to go to the Swordsmith's Guild to exchange for worm cores and supplies.

Approaching the door, Lin Ze glanced down at a strand of hair stained in the crack of the door, and saw that there was no sign of moving, so he pushed open the door and walked in.

Throwing his backpack on the sofa, Lin Ze walked to the corner of the living room and turned on the light, and when the corner of his eye fell on the edge of the window, his eyes couldn't help but stare at it.

After Ding Beiye sent someone to attack and kill him, Lin Ze's vigilance was greatly improved, in order to prevent someone from sneaking into the house when he went out, he would use his hair to make a simple warning mechanism in places such as doors and windows every time he went out, but whenever someone sneaked into the house from these places, he would definitely touch these hairs.

At this time, the hair on the edge of the living room window showed signs of moving.

Retracting his gaze, Lin Ze slowly pulled out the white knife on his waist, and did not search around, but stood in place, looking at the living room, bathroom and the second floor with a calm face, and there was no trace of anxiety in his expression.

It seemed that Lin Ze had already discovered that something was wrong, or he was confident in his own strength, and after a stalemate of about ten minutes, there was a sudden noise in the bathroom, followed by a man walking out.

The man's face was full of vicissitudes, his face was full of beard, and he was wearing a shabby dark green coat covered with dust, and he looked very depressed, like the inhabitants of the slums.

However, the white knife held in the other party's hand clearly showed his identity as a knife caster.

"Who are you?" Lin Ze asked lightly.

The bearded man didn't answer, but looked him up and down, pouted and smiled: "I can't see that you are quite clever, and you can actually find out about my invasion, no wonder I need to take action myself." ”

After a pause, he continued to ask, "Let me ask you, was Ding Beiye killed by you?"

"I see, Ding Jin sent you. ”

As soon as Lin Ze's words fell, a slight sneer suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a sudden pain in his left shoulder, and there was an additional two-inch-long wound on it, and blood flowed out of it.

"I advise you to answer honestly!" the bearded man sneered, "Otherwise, it will be your neck that will be cut next time!"

“...... Ding Beiye was indeed killed by me. ”

Feeling the pain coming from his shoulder, Lin Ze's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and while replying casually, he looked up and looked around, only to find that there was nothing in the air, and he didn't know where the attack just now came from.

"Don't look at it, this living room has been laid by me, even if you are a sixth-level knife caster, don't expect to be able to break through easily, let alone you are a trainee knife caster!" The bearded man got the information he wanted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling, "If that person hadn't let me catch him alive, you would have turned into a puddle of meat sauce the moment you entered the living room!"

Seeing the smug demeanor of the bearded man in his eyes, Lin Ze was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this guy who looked like a poor man on the outside was actually an official knife caster, Ding Jin seemed to be serious, and he actually sent a formal knife caster to deal with him.

It's just, what is the opponent's soul knife ability?

Lin Ze was still thinking about it, but the bearded man had lost his patience, and the murderous look in his eyes flashed, and he was ready to take Lin Ze down and take him away.

I saw him raise his hand and make a knife swing movement, and in an instant, he heard the dense snorting sound in the void suddenly explode, and countless invisible slashes suddenly appeared, attacking Lin Ze like a storm from all directions.

As the bearded man said, he wanted to catch it alive, so all the slashes were aimed at Lin Ze's limbs, intending to deprive the latter's mobility.

However, what stunned him was that the expected scene of blood splashing and Lin Ze falling to the ground and howling did not appear, and those invisible attacks fell on Lin Ze, like stones thrown into the water, except for the ripples that stirred up, there was no effect at all.

"What's going on!?"

The bearded man looked suspicious, and after a closer look, he found that the surface of Lin Ze's body seemed to be covered with an invisible layer of defense, which was the one that resisted his attack.

"Damn, it's the Soul Knife trait!But it shouldn't be, isn't this guy a trainee knife caster?Even if the Soul Knife trait is activated, it won't be able to block my attack!"

"It's my turn!"

Lin Ze's indifferent words woke the bearded man from his astonishment, and when the latter came back to his senses, he saw Lin Ze swing a white knife, and a surging flame ignited between the silver blades.

Seeing this scene, the bearded man's face changed greatly, and he immediately realized that something was wrong, but before he could react, Lin Ze had already swung his knife and slashed out, and a bright red line in the void instantly formed, turning into a fiery and terrifying flame knife qi, like an arrow from the string.

Before the flame sword qi arrived, the surging hot breath curled up the bearded man's hair and beard, and he couldn't think about why Lin Ze's strength was much better than the intelligence, so he subconsciously flashed to the side, narrowly avoiding the attacking flame knife qi.

It's a pity that before he could show his joy, the flame knife qi that passed by suddenly expanded and deformed sharply, and exploded in the next second, and the blazing flames and violent shockwaves hit his back at the same time, sending him flying fiercely.

In mid-air, the bearded man spurted out a mouthful of blood with a pale face, and screamed miserably after landing on the ground, the clothes on his back had already been burned to ashes by the flames, and his bare back was scorched black, exuding a strange fragrance.
