Prologue: The Death of a Warrior Monk

Next Chapter

The sun was about to set, and there was a deathly silence in the dark forest, Liu Haitao walked at the front of the team with a water-mill Zen staff made of fine iron, carefully probing around with every step.

Behind him, the thugs of the White Tiger Regiment lined up in a column and marched forward step by step, although they had left the most dangerous core area of the dark forest, it did not mean that they were safe, in this cruel world, danger could happen at any time, Liu Haitao glanced at the increasingly dark sky with some concern, it seems that he can't get out of this forest tonight, and it is not a wise thing to rush at night.

Not far away, an abandoned camp suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision, "Let's rest here tonight." The captain said, and Liu Haitao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.

When the group got closer, they found that this sentry seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, the camp was very messy, it seemed that the previous adventurers were in a hurry when evacuating, but there was a lot of residual dry wood to use, so the campfire was quickly lit, and a group of adventurers gathered around the campfire, while counting the harvest during the day, while sorting out their equipment.

Liu Haitao opened the package, and there was a piece of blue quality equipment that had not yet been identified, a one-handed long sword with a blue sword body, in fact, the warrior monk was not the best candidate to use sword weapons, but there was no swordsman in the White Tiger Regiment, so in the end, he could only be forcibly assigned to him.

However, it is also a blue quality weapon, how can it be sold for some money when he goes back, he was thinking, but a strange feeling came from his lower abdomen.

"No, I can't hold it back, Lao Li, you help me watch it, I'll go to the toilet."

Liu Haitao jumped out of the chair in front of the computer as he spoke, and rushed to the bathroom with a crawl, the overnight glass of milk he drank in the morning made his stomach twist and stomach, so that he rushed out without quitting the game.

The man he called Lao Li didn't notice his voice, he was concentrating on repairing his double-edged steel giant axe, the snowy blade made a piercing grinding sound under the grinding of the whetstone, for a long time, he raised the axe and looked at it, through the reflection of the campfire shining on the blade of the axe, he clearly saw a pair of ghostly green eyes lurking in the darkness behind him, "Damn, it's a blade-toothed wolf!" ”

He roared and stood up, the blade-toothed wolves rushed out of the darkness in groups, and the battle broke out in an instant, the blade-toothed wolf is a unique beast in the dark forest, the appearance looks like a pair of giant wolves with razor-like canine teeth, only stronger, and more ferocious, infected by the power of darkness makes them extremely aggressive, the white tiger group has been mixed near the dark forest for a week, and has not dealt with this kind of monster, which will make the thugs of the white tiger group quickly form a semicircular small formation, The melee class is outside, and several ranged classes are surrounded in the middle.

Homeopathic split! A ferocious heavy slash split a blade-toothed wolf in half, and the screen was stained red with blood splatters, Lao Li didn't have time to marvel at the realistic special effects of this game, and another roundabout forced the two blade-toothed wolves to retreat.

Taking advantage of this brief comfort, he observed the battlefield, but a bald-headed warrior monk not far away was somehow left alone, and was besieged by two blade-toothed wolves, "Haitao be careful, there are enemies on your side!" Lao Li shouted, but found that the bald warrior monk on the screen did not move, and was dripping with blood under the attack of the blade-toothed wolf.

Lao Li's heart trembled suddenly, but the roar of the blade-toothed wolf made him force himself to return to the game, and finally, after being killed nearly the usual number, the remaining blade-toothed wolves scattered and disappeared into the dark night, and the thugs of the White Tiger Regiment breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the corpses on the screen - they finally survived.

"I'm back," Liu Haitao said as he hurriedly fastened his trouser belt, and as soon as he entered the room, he found that everyone was looking at him with a kind of regret, and suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he glanced at the screen of his computer, the warrior monk who had spent three months of his hard work to train, which would have become a blurred pool of flesh and blood.

He felt a chill in his heart, and looked at the captain as if asking for help, but the white-faced man snorted lightly, "You know the rules, everyone only has one chance, now take this month's salary and leave." ”

He wanted to argue, but he was already dragged out by a pair of strong arms behind him.

The night is cold, the cold wind blows from time to time, Liu Haitao walked on the road of Kunlun Street in City B, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, and even taxis were rare on the road, while breathing in the slightly cold air in spring, Liu Haitao sighed uncontrollably.

"Well, how could a job be lost so easily? It's more than 8,000 yuan a month, just playing games. Where can I find such an easy job now" He thought to himself, blaming himself for being too inattentive, and would make such a common-sense low-level mistake, if it weren't for forgetting to quit the game when he went to the toilet, it is estimated that he is still in the top office building in the city center, enjoying the mellow coffee prepared by Miss Qin for everyone and a variety of supper, by the way, there is also a warm central air conditioning, he looked up with some reluctance to look up at the building complex in the distance that was hidden in the lights, and the company's office building was among them, The bright lights against the tall building looked particularly stylish, but it was in stark contrast to his current situation.

But now it's useless to say this, fortunately, he has already received three months' salary before and after, so he didn't do it in vain, he covered his pocket while thinking, there was the eight thousand yuan that Ms. Qin had just given him, and he was going to be expelled if he hung up once in the game, I really don't understand what kind of bullshit rule this is, isn't it just a broken game, isn't it over if you die and create a character again, as for being so serious, breathing the dry and cold air, Liu Haitao began to remember the dormitory assigned to him by the company again.

A man in a black trench coat under the street lamp in front of him was sitting on a cross chair reading a novel, and there was a look of relief on his face when he saw him approach.

"Good evening, friend, it's a great day for a walk, isn't it?" The strange man said hello with a relaxed expression, and Liu Haitao said in his heart, friend, you are a ghost, it is scary to run out in the middle of the night, it is really neurotic.

As he thought, he walked towards himself, and as he walked, he suddenly felt that the man seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and when he turned around, the man had disappeared.

"What the hell." Liu Haitao looked at the empty bench in disbelief, "Where is that person?" He thought. Behind him, there was a low roar of a beast from his throat, which made him come back from his thoughts, and he turned his head sharply, trying to find out the source of the sound, but the surroundings were quiet, Liu Haitao priped up his ears vigilantly, there was no sound, and the sound just now seemed to be just his hallucination.

How can there be any beasts in this big city, Liu Haitao breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, hehe, he was really obsessed with playing games, and he already had auditory hallucinations before he reached thirty, so it seems that it may not be a bad thing to leave that company.

He shook his head and continued to move on while comforting himself, and after a few steps, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and suddenly there was some chaotic and hurried footsteps in his ears, as if he was not alone in this night road.

He subconsciously stopped and glanced behind him, the street lights on the road behind him flickered, the brightness seemed to be not as good as just now, the dark night seemed to absorb the surrounding light, I couldn't see anything clearly, I don't know if it was a mental effect, the darkness in front of him seemed to be inexplicably strange, as if some unspeakable terrible creature was approaching, peeking at him, making his back cold, cold in his heart, a gust of night wind blew, Liu Haitao shivered unfreely, that kind of cold soaked people's bone marrow.

Hell, it's March, why is it so cold? As he thought, he tightened his clothes, turned around and quickened his pace, preparing to leave the ominous road as soon as possible, and find a small hotel for the night. But the strange sound suddenly sounded in his ears again, Liu Haitao felt that the footsteps gradually became clear, from far and near, he could clearly recognize that it was a rapid and powerful running sound, it seemed that a kind of four-legged beast was approaching him quickly, he turned around again, there was still nothing, but the sound did not disappear like the first time, and quickly came to the front, and then with a roar, Liu Haitao felt that he was thrown to the ground by an invisible force.

At that moment, he could clearly feel the fishy breath from the mouth of the invisible beast, and he could also clearly feel the pain when the claws were torn**, in a desperate situation, Liu Haitao suddenly sent out unprecedented strength, and suddenly turned to one side, he rolled on a lazy donkey and shook off the tear of the beast, stood up, and hit the invisible beast with a fierce punch, the movements were neat as if he was born a gladiator, but this inevitable punch was empty.

Liu Haitao was on the spot, there was a dead silence around him, only the pain in his chest twitching was telling him that what had just happened was not a hallucination, and there was a heart-piercing pain in his leg suddenly, I don't know what he was bitten, there was almost no light around, he couldn't see the injury clearly, but he knew that it would definitely be bloody on his leg, and the pain and fear made him lose his mind, "Give me death!" He roared and attacked frantically around him, each punch brought out a chilling fist style, but this attack had no meaning, it was all hit in the air, and he was hit in the stomach again, followed by his arm, he got up and threw a punch, and it didn't hit the invisible enemy in the darkness, but slammed into the base of a street lamp on the side of the road, and the force was so great that it smashed the steel lamppost out of a pit, and the fist was suddenly dripping with blood, and I felt the unforgettable pain in my hand, At this moment, he actually calmed down, covered his stomach with one hand, and slowly retreated to the fenced construction fence next to the road.

The unseen beast did not rush to attack, but seemed to pacing leisurely across from him, observing him. Liu Haitao gasped for breath, and heard the sound of blood dripping down the wound. "Come on! ~Come on~" Liu Haitao roared in despair, these few minutes have used up all the courage of his life, what is going on? He thought desperately, and as he swung his uninjured arm vigorously in the darkness in front of him, a fishy wind swept in front of his eyes, and he was pounced without any suspense, and when the monster's sharp mouth tore at his neck, a thought flashed through his mind - "Is it finally over......?"

Without warning, the street lamps flickered and all turned on, and the golden light illuminated the dark night that seemed to be a real thing just now, and there were no monsters or blood on the road in front of me, and even the plastic bags hanging on the rocks on the roadside were still fluttering in the wind. Next to the fence, there was one more corpse, a corpse with blurred flesh and blood.

A figure walked slowly from not far away, standing next to the corpse with his pocket in his pocket, it was the man in a black trench coat, he looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed, with a look of regret on his face.
