Chapter 7: Sudden Strike
Fame, wealth, power, and sex.
These four are the fundamental source of all desires and the strongest driving force for human development and progress.
Of course, it is also the starting point of the disaster, burning its own firewood.
As the final catalyst, the desire to compete has succeeded in distorting your sanity and committing the lowest mistakes.
"We can't delay any longer, if we continue to waste time, we will definitely let those thieves get their hands on it!"
"I can't wait to give those bastards a taste of pain!"
Like a beast whose fighting spirit had been stirred up, the purpose of the people was now surprisingly unanimous, clamoring to give the thieves some color.
Oliver's face didn't change much, but he stepped forward directly and said to Henry:
"The kind of guy who can get hurt even against that kind of weak monster, his strength is not worth mentioning at all, Lord Henry, give the order quickly!"
"Since everyone thinks so, let's speed up!"
Perhaps of all the people, Mr. Henry was the most urgent, for everything in this ruin had long been regarded as his possession.
With the help of boiling blood, the speed of everyone's progress was accelerated again, approaching the exit of the passage.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from far and near, and in the ruins of the underground, there was a sense of disobedience—
"It's a noticeable difference from the movement of those monsters, it's the sound of human footsteps."
Phil stared at him and said immediately.
Oliver licked his lips and tightened his grip on the sword, a bloodlust in his eyes.
Not only him, but everyone was ready to make a big deal for the future, and even the benevolent Mr. Henry had plans to make a decisive move.
There was only one person who came, a young man, only about twenty years old, with no obvious injuries on his body, but his face was full of horror, and even his steps became panicked.
Seeing that the person who came was not holding a weapon, the killing intent in the hearts of several people eased slightly, and Chu Ge's eyes lit up, as if he recalled something interesting, and secretly calculated in his heart.
Simon's mind was a little confused as he ran, and his eyes kept looking at the ground under his feet, which also caused him to not notice the guarded people in the distance in advance.
It wasn't until he was directly caught by Henry, who came out of the crowd, that he woke up from his fear.
"Ahh Let me go! ”
After a few frightening struggles, Simon finally realized where he was.
However, since the other party did not choose to kill himself in the first place, there is still a certain value in proving himself, at least for now.
- With such thoughts in mind, Simon forced himself to calm down.
Judging by his clothing and equipment, Simon was clearly not a civilian who had strayed into the cave, but an explorer who had come prepared.
This message undoubtedly irritated Henry, and a faint cold glint crossed his eyes, and then he snorted heavily.
It was clear that the hunter had already sold the news to someone else before he could find him!
It was too cheap for him to let that greedy pig die early!
After quickly calming down, Henry showed his trademark smile again, then let the other man go, and asked kindly:
"You're also an adventurer in the small town of Brewell, aren't you? Am I Henry? Antuno, you've probably heard my name. ”
Of course, Simon had heard of the reputation of the baron's cousin, and even he had revered the noble elder in his heart, but he had never seen Henry in real form, so he was not sure for a moment whether what the other party said was true.
Mr. Victor, the assistant of Master Henry, who sings blackface full-time, immediately jumped out and said with a cold face:
"I don't want to say more nonsense, since you can come out of it alive, then where is the danger, where is the safety, you should know, say it all, I promise to spare your life."
Hearing that the other party was willing to let him go, Simon's face was happy, but he immediately hesitated again, and it was really difficult to believe him with just this few words.
The smile on Henry's face became more and more peaceful, and he took out something from the inside of his jacket and handed it to Simon:
"This is the medal of the Antuno family, and no one in Brewell dares to impersonate it."
"In the name of the Antuno family, I promise that as long as you are honest about everything, I will never embarrass you."
Simon took the medal and looked at it carefully, and then said happily:
"Are you really Mr. Henry?"
"Haha, it's like a fake!"
In such a dangerous place, Henry's sincere smile is bound to bring warmth, especially Simon, who is very uneasy in his heart, and his emotions are immediately calmed down.
"Since it's Lord Henry, then I have nothing to hide, by the way, my name is Simon."
"Shortly after exiting this passage, there will be two special forks, and only one of them should lead to the final destination."
"You must have encountered that kind of monster on the way here, the unrepaired cave on the left is their lair, don't go in."
"Although their strength is very weak, as long as we go a little deeper, they appear in large numbers, and surrounded by them, we have suffered casualties for the first time, two out of four people are killed!"
"Not only that, but there are many wandering ghosts in that passage, and under their interference, we have no will to resist at all, and we have been running far away to get rid of them."
"The palace-like passage on the right should be the correct route, but there are many tests, and the danger of the first three levels is very low, but when you get to the fourth level, the situation will be completely different!"
"The mechanism in the fourth level is much more dangerous than before, and another of my companions died under the mechanism due to an accident, and I was so scared that I escaped back."
After listening to Simon's explanation, Phil frowned and asked:
"How's that for those companions?"
Simon was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, he replied:
"Strength...... Two of them are slightly stronger than me, and one is weaker than me. ”
Two of them are a little stronger than him? One is even weaker than him?
Several people's faces were immediately stained with contempt.
In their opinion, Simon's strength may be weaker than Chu Gedu, and there is no substantial difference between him and civilians, isn't it normal for this kind of strength guy to die under the organ?
So much so that everyone also despised Simon's "organ".
"That's right......"
Henry touched his chin, and when he saw that he had no other doubts, he smiled and said to Simon:
"Thank you, Simon, for not doing such a dangerous thing in the future."
After speaking, he also took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Simon:
"It's a little bit of heart, and I hope to make up for your losses."
Simon took the money bag in a daze, opened his mouth and squirmed his vocal cords, said nothing, bowed to Henry, and turned to leave.
Passed through Phil, through Isach, through Oliver, through Victor.
When he passed by Chu Ge, his eyes suddenly bulged!
Suddenly, a thin and long mark appeared on the white throat, and then blood gushed from his neck!
The throat rattled like a worn-out bellows that had been pulled, and before he could even let out his last wail, Simon was killed on the spot!
【SP+1】
"Ino! What are you doing?! ”
Henry couldn't help but yell angrily.
