Chapter 18: Second Skill
The night in the mountains and forests is very quiet, and occasionally a few insects chirp from Qingyue.
Song Zheng curled up in a small cave, beside him was Bridgit, who was still unconscious.
The girl's breathing was soft, but very steady, and it seemed that the poison in her body had stabilized.
"She shouldn't be fine, at least she shouldn't die here, this doesn't match the historical process of Warcraft......" Song Zheng secretly thought in his heart, if Bridget had an accident here, wouldn't the future Scarlet Crusaders lose their last leader?
Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he immediately felt tired.
Although his physical strength is good, he follows Bridget out of the city early in the morning, runs around all day, and then is chased by the snowman and desperately escapes, and is even more frightened in the battle with the syndicate thieves, and his spirit has been in a state of high concentration, and now he suddenly relaxes, and immediately feels physically and mentally exhausted.
But in a trance, a soft sound of metal suddenly came.
Song Zheng immediately got up, and the long sword was clenched tightly in his hand...... The sound was familiar to him, it was a trap he had set, and a small bell was tied to the rope of the trap, which would have the effect of alarming the police if it was touched.
In the darkness, a faint moonlight fell from the dark shadows of the leaves, and with the help of this dappled moonlight, two figures could be vaguely seen hanging upside down from the trees, struggling desperately, trying to break free from the ropes on their feet, so that the bells on the ropes could not stop ringing.
Song Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, he had already recognized the identities of these two figures, which were also two syndicate thieves.
However, the two syndicate thieves are obviously not very professional, at least they should not have the ability to detect traps, so that they will be caught in the improvised traps they have set for themselves.
It's just that the trap he improvised with ropes can only hang the two syndicate thieves who tried to sneak up upside down, and it is not fatal.
Seeing that one of the syndicate thieves was twisting desperately and was about to break free from the rope of the trap, Song Zheng hurriedly took out the dwarf musket.
He had reloaded the dwarven musket before, and now he immediately pulled the trigger at the shadow.
There was a loud bang, and the sound of muskets could be heard far away in the silent night, mixed with the screams of the syndicate thieves.
And Song Zheng's experience value has also increased by more than 1,600 again.
However, as Song Zheng hurriedly reloaded the musket, another syndicate thief had broken free from the rope and fell from mid-air.
When it came to the life and death of himself and Bridget, Song Zheng didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately abandoned the dwarven musket in his hand that had not been loaded in time, picked up Bridget's knight's sword and slashed at the head of the syndicate thief who was still standing.
Although the syndicate thief broke free from the rope, he was probably extremely flustered because of the death of his companion, and when he saw Song Zheng swinging his sword and slashing, he did not dare to fight him, and turned around to flee.
However, as soon as he fell from mid-air, he stumbled under his feet in a hurry, and was already caught up by Song Zheng, and a heavy sword slashed on his back.
A large amount of blood spurted and splashed in the darkness, and many of it fell on Song Zheng's body, and even his face was stained with a lot of blood.
The suffocating smell of blood almost made Song Zheng vomit on the spot.
Although he had killed two people with the dwarven musket before, the feeling of bombarding with a gun was completely different from slashing with his own hands with a sword, and there was a faint excitement in his panic.
The syndicate thief's body swooped forward for some distance, and after struggling for a moment, it didn't move, Bridget's knight's sword was so sharp that it probably slashed deep into its internal organs, killing it.
"Oops, I died with a sword...... Song Zheng couldn't help frowning, he originally wanted to seriously injure the other party, and then try to force a way to detoxify.
But on the other hand, due to the direct killing of these two syndicate thieves, his experience points finally exceeded 8,000!
"It's finally upgraded!" Song Zheng hurriedly checked his attribute interface, and it was indeed displayed as a second-level thief, although the various attributes did not change much, but the skill was one more.
"This ...... The new skill turned out to be 'sprinting'? Song Zheng was suddenly a little speechless.
"Is this what makes me speed up my escape after 'stealing'......"
This 'sprinting' skill can't be said to be very bad, at least it can solve the crisis of being caught after the 'stealing' fails, and it is a magic skill for ordinary thieves to escape.
However, Song Zheng is currently facing the crisis of being hunted down by the Cursed Church, and he hopes to get a combat skill.
Song Zheng didn't dare to test the effect of this 'sprinting' skill immediately, in this night mountain forest, if he couldn't stop, it would be miserable.
"It seems that we can only hope that the next skill will be a combat skill." Song Zheng sighed secretly, but the experience required to advance from the second level to the third level was directly doubled!
In this way, even if you can get a lot of experience points by killing Syndicate Thieves, you will have to kill more than ten of them.
The strength of those syndicate thieves is actually not bad, even if it is a single person, the combat power is comparable to Bridget, the reason why Song Zheng can kill continuously is completely relying on muskets and traps, if he clashes with those syndicate thieves head-on, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to hold out for a few rounds.
Song Zheng cleaned up the chaotic battlefield for a while, and then returned to the small cave, Bridget was still unconscious, but her beautiful brows frowned slightly, as if the sound of battle outside had also affected her.
"I don't know how many Syndicate thieves are trying to find and hunt him down, this cave shouldn't be able to stay any longer......" Song Zheng frowned, and then carefully picked up Bridget.
Since those two syndicate thieves can find here, so can the other syndicate thieves, not to mention that he also used a musket just now, and the piercing sound of gunfire is enough to attract people from a radius of more than ten miles.
However, going there in this darkness is a very serious problem, and Song Zheng, a part-time hunter, cannot discern the direction at night.
"Forget it, just find a direction, anyway, those people who curse the church will probably wait for them on the way back to Nanhai Town in the south, maybe it's safer to go in the wrong direction......" Song Zheng finally chose a random direction to move forward, and in his heart, he thought that the best place to go at the moment should be Talummir.
After all, in Warcraft, Talenmere is a city of the same size as Southsea Town, but unlike Southsea Town, which is a seaport city, Tarunmere's main industry is agriculture, and it also has a large number of mills, making it the most important grain processing base in southern Lordaeron.
