Chapter 42: Spike
Sea Tiger: "What's going on?" β
Renault gritted his teeth and said, "There is more than one thing that was stolen, there are other things. β
It turned out that when he was about to put back the miniature healing potion, Renault found that the most important piece of equipment was missing from his inventory, the Soul Furnace.
It is the first epic piece of equipment that Renault broke out, and the level requirement is only level 5, but its special attribute - soul condensation can double the amount of the monster's soul, which has a very special significance for Renault who has full cultivation of six attributes, especially after obtaining the title of "Equipment Master", with the instantaneous switching of equipment by will, the value of the soul furnace has increased by a hundred times.
For others, the Soul Forge is just a good over-equipment, and no one wants to sacrifice the breastplate with the highest defense value in exchange for twice the soul power after reaching a certain level.
Defensive attributes are one of the most important guarantees for survival. But for Renault, the Soul Forge is a priceless treasure.
Stealing items is beyond people's common sense, and they can steal two pieces of equipment at a time, and even important items - epic equipment can be stolen, which completely subverts everyone's common sense.
Even if he didn't know the inside story, judging from the boss's expression and the quality of the stolen equipment, Haihu also knew the importance of the soul furnace, and he said: "I'll go and take it back, and by the way, teach the little thief who doesn't open his eyes a good lesson." He turned and rushed into the path where the female thief had hidden.
Renault failed to stop the sea tiger and was about to follow, when a cry for help rang out in another alley at the fork.
With the strength of the sea tiger, as long as there is a guard, it will be difficult for the female thief to take the lead by relying on her cleverness.
It was a cul-de-sac, the alley was wide and narrow, and at the end of the alley was a wall of hard granite, in which there was no one but piles of debris and rubble.
"Oh no, fooled." Renault's mind was spinning fast, and he knew he had been tricked in a single breath.
Turning his head to look at the entrance, sure enough, five big men had blocked the exit. Each of them had a weapon in his hand, and a malicious evil smile appeared on his face. One of them was the Scar Wolf, but the Mole was not one of them.
A villain with a flat nose as if he had been stepped on by someone grinned: "Boy, if you know each other, you will leave the valuable things on your body to your brothers." β
The other guys, wielding weapons of all kinds, stared at Renault arrogantly, anger spreading from their eyes. The cowardly may be intimidated by these ruffian scoundrels and obediently comply.
"Haha, isn't this a scarred wolf dude? How did we meet so soon. Renault was undaunted, his arms crossed over his chest, and he stood still, looking still strong.
Scar Rat still has that arrogant look, but the angle of the corners of his mouth is hooked upward, and the obvious scar adds a bit of cruelty. He made a gesture, and the other four slowly moved closer to Renault, forming a half-circle posture, and the only vacancy was filled by Scar Wolf's tall frame.
It seems that if you don't beat them, don't even think about leaving.
"Brother, this shows that you and I are very fateful." Scar Wolf licked the scar on the corner of his mouth and said shamelessly, "For the sake of you being my guest, obediently present everything, and my men and I will no longer embarrass you." β
"Hey! It seems that fate has a much greater effect than I expected. Renault said sarcastically in a more arrogant tone.
The flat-nosed thug spat at the knife in his hand, revealing his disgusting yellow teeth, and said fiercely: "You kid is either tired of life, or your head is broken, and you are still so arrogant at this point." Boss, if you don't give some color to see, spreading it will damage the reputation of our 'Fire Wolf Organization'. β
The other three raised their weapons and echoed.
Scar Wolf: "Brother, I advise you to get to know each other." In such a narrow space, the magician cannot use magic to his advantage. Yesterday there was also a level 24 mage, who was caught here. β
Renault's body slowly bent, and bursts of roaring laughter exploded in the ears of the five, as if they had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Stimulated by the double stimulation of anger and deafening sounds, Scar Mouse's four men attacked Renault almost simultaneously, and all of them landed in fatal parts.
With a loud bang, a pillar of fire burst out of the alley, and pedestrians more than ten meters away felt the heat wave scorching their skin.
After the flames, four charred corpses lay on the ground, and the alleyway was filled with the enticing smell of barbecue.
Scar Rat was dumbfounded, and his gaze at Renault was filled with indescribable horror. The aftermath of the heat wave had taken a toll on him, but not enough to make him incapacitated. However, the feet did not obey the call and stood still, the will in the brain dropped to the freezing point, and the whole person was like a short-circuited machine, and no instructions could be transmitted to all parts.
An epic longsword that fades away from the flames returns to normal. It is unimaginable that the metal surface, which is no different from an ordinary magic sword, can burst into flames that devour everything.
Life can only be destroyed under such powerful flames.
The four villains who were still alive just now turned into char in the blink of an eye, and when the HP completely dropped to zero, the four charred corpses were torn apart like glass and disappeared, as if the four of them had never been to this world.
Scarwolf felt a piece of hot iron resting on his shoulder, and the heat brought him back to his senses.
The Bright Flame Sword was resting on his neck, and Renault's ice-cold gaze condensed his soul, and he couldn't imagine that such a terrifying look came from a human being.
"For your so-called fate, I will let you get more 'preferential treatment', such as ......" The unbearable heat burned the neck of the scarred wolf, and the blade of the sword moved slightly, leaving a thin scar on the skin, but no blood flowed out, most of it was evaporated and dried by the scorching heat.
"Please, spare my dog's life, I have an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old child, kill me, what will happen to those orphans and widows?"
"Are you sure it's a dog's life, not a wolf's life?" Renault scoffed, "It's a clichΓ©, and it's embarrassing." If you don't feel embarrassed, I think you're shameless. β
The scar wolf, who was arrogant and domineering before, completely changed into a person, knelt down, raised his big hand and slapped his mouth fiercely, which can be described as a mighty hand and a sound on the ground. Less than twenty strokes, his face was swollen like a pig's head.
Renault was not tempted by this kind of person at all, he knew that the more unprincipled the scoundrel, the more appalling things he would do, and he did not need to be merciful to the enemy.
He said coldly: "Truthfully recruited, dare to have a nonsense, I want to let you go, but the sword is merciless." β
There was a glimmer of hope, and the scar wolf immediately turned into a crying and weeping appearance, and even shouted "Engong" and "reborn parents", which made goosebumps rise in people.
It turned out that Scar Wolf was the leader of the Fire Wolf Organization, and there were more than a dozen people under him. The fire wolf block under its jurisdiction is only separated from "drunken life and dream death". In addition to collecting protection money from the store, they also engage in fraud. This is aimed at wealthy players who want to buy the best equipment. As long as the adventurers within the range of the Fire Wolf Block, once they reveal their wealth, they will immediately summon the unwarranted disaster, and no matter how powerful the characters are, they will be blocked by more than a dozen people, so they have to obediently disarm and surrender, this method has been tried and tested repeatedly. But the notoriety also spread throughout the Northern District, and the adventurers did not dare to appear in the sphere of influence of the Fire Wolf Organization. As a last resort, the leader Scarwolf had to turn his attention to the street, but due to the power of other organizations, he didn't dare to make too much trouble, so he used fraudulent methods to sell equipment to players who were interested in buying the best products, and used it as bait to obtain illegal profits.
After hearing this, Renault was thoughtful, and there was still a little unclear, so he said: "If the object of the hijacking is not given, you will not run for nothing." β
The scar wolf's eyes flickered, as if he hesitated, and the discerning magic swordsman fiercely pushed the bright flame sword forward by half an inch, and the alley was instantly filled with the wail of the scar wolf.
I said, I said, "The slightest punishment, the soft bones immediately cry and rush to confess."
It turned out that the Scar Wolf gang found a bug - whenever the level of an item exceeds the player's level and is killed by the player, the super-level item, whether it is equipment or props, will automatically explode. Even if the player who is robbed would rather die than give in, Scar Wolf and his gang will directly kill him and obtain the corresponding high-level equipment.
However, in the game of life and death, there are very few players who skip the challenge, and even if there are, they challenge monsters who are taller than themselves in a team way. Scar Wolf's little bit of bullying lonely players is okay, but bullying the strong who leapfrog the challenge is no different from sending them to death.
Therefore, Scar Wolf and his gang used their brains to make huge profits by pretending to sell equipment that was beyond the level. It's a bit tedious, but it's better than the brainless maniacs who burn and loot like headless flies.
After hearing this, Renault sneered: "It seems that there are quite a few unjust souls who died at your hands." β
"Where...... How can it? As long as he hands over his equipment, we'll still let him live. Scarwolf hurriedly pleaded, but alas, the trembling voice betrayed him.
"Humph! Less to this set. Will you let each other go? People know your nickname and remember what you look like. The tip of the Ming Yan sword swiped lightly on the striking scar, and said, "Who will forget such an iconic face." Will the bankrupt players let you go? You won't fail to understand the principle of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. β
When Scar Wolf heard this, his face turned green, and he immediately swore to God to ensure that he did not do anything that hurt God.
But under the mask of horror, Renault sensed the slightest murderous intent lurking in the depths of the sinful soul.
"You didn't kill anyone? I believe that it should be your subordinates who will make the shot. With such an obvious red name, how could I think I didn't see it. As soon as these words came out, Scar Wolf was speechless.
Renault looked up to the sky and smiled: "Take it easy, I'm not a tiger, and I can't eat you in one bite." As long as you are willing to repent and know that you can change your mistakes, I will fulfill my promise to you. He glanced at Scar Wolf meaningfully, and said, "The key is how sincere you are." β
