Seven o'clock in the evening.

Xiang Chen sat alone in the dark room, and the light was not turned on, just in a daze. In this small space, without having to face anyone, Xiang Chen finally took off all his disguise and licked his wounds alone like a wounded wolf cub.

After a long time, Xiang Chen came back to his senses, thinking about Zhang Bo and Ji Songshi's reaction to going to the wilderness during the day, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Is it so exaggerated, if you don't get a quasi-martial artist, you will die if you go out of the city?"

"Have you forgotten how the scavenger Sun Baolai rose?"

Sun Baolai, a scavenger, is a legendary figure who is said to have run into the wilderness when he was not even a quasi-martial artist.

As his name suggests, he was so lucky that the first time he went out of town, he picked up the corpse of a little golden mouse in an abandoned village. He was lucky enough to come back alive from the city for the first time.

As a result, no one could have imagined, even his companions, that this little golden mouse was actually an A-level alien beast golden rat!

Because of the variety of alien beasts, except for the top alien beasts, they are roughly divided into seven levels, A to G, and each level can be divided into ordinary species and elite species, which corresponds to the two star levels of human beings.

That is, the G-level ordinary species is equivalent to a one-star martial artist, the elite class is roughly equivalent to a 2-star martial artist, the F-level ordinary species corresponds to a 3-star martial artist, and so on.

Of course, it doesn't mean that low-level alien beasts are no threat to high-level martial artists. For example, the gold-eating ants of the alien beast themselves are not as ranked, and a single gold-eating ant can be shot to death even if an ordinary person holds a weapon, but when the gold-eating ant tide hits, even the top masters of human beings must temporarily avoid the edge.

And the A-level alien beast Golden Rat, that is a high-level alien beast comparable to a human 13-star martial artist!

Although the golden rat is not known for its combat effectiveness, his gold-like body combines hardness, toughness, conductivity, beauty, etc., and is an extremely sought-after existence in the market of exotic beast materials.

The corpse of this A-class alien beast golden rat, Sun Baolai sold it for a sky-high price! In exchange for countless cultivation resources. By the time the rest of the team knew the news, Sun Baolai had already disappeared with a large amount of cultivation resources.

When Sun Baolai reappeared a few years later, he had soared all the way to an 8-star martial artist, and until now, he has become one of the top powerhouses in Guiyang Safety City.

Sun Baolai's legendary path also inspired a large number of gold diggers, blindly believing that the wilderness was full of treasures, and starving the bold to death.

At this time, Xiang Chen undoubtedly became one of them.

At this time, his mind was full of Sun Baolai's deeds, but he forgot that Sun Baolai was just an exception after all, and the remaining more than 99% of the blind people were turned into dry bones in the wilderness.

But whether he forgot or deliberately paralyzed himself, no one knows.

The disappearance of the eldest brother, the stagnation of martial arts, and the dismissal of the dojo, these pressures may be too heavy for an 18-year-old young man.

Physically and mentally exhausted, Xiang Chen fell headlong on the bed, he didn't want to think about it so much, he just wanted to sleep well now.

Maybe in his dreams, he didn't have to face the cruel reality.

……

Tread, step, step, step.

At this time, when the lights of thousands of homes have passed, the bustling city has fallen into complete silence after three o'clock in the morning after a whole day of hustle and bustle. Everyone has finished the tiredness of the day, entered the bed, and washed away the tiredness of the day.

Compared to the streets, which were still lit by street lamps, the dark places, the staggered alleys were pitch black, and even the original glimmer of moonlight was unfortunately obscured by dark clouds.

Tread, step, step, step.

There are a few homeless people curled up next to the garbage bin, at this time it is the time of autumn and winter communication, the temperature continues to plummet, and the homeless people who are only wrapped in a layer of rags do not move in the cold wind, no one knows whether they are still alive, alive, and whether they can carry it, this is the cold winter that is close at hand.

Tread, step, step, step.

The constant sound of shuffling footsteps eventually broke into the alley.

In the shadows at the end of the alley, a boy in pajamas and pajamas walked slowly. The boy looked about 15 years old, and a small figure was embroidered on the small pocket on the left side of his pajamas.

The villain was embroidered crookedly, and it could only be seen from its long hair that it was supposed to be a little girl.

"Wang, Wang, Wang!"

The sound of footsteps and the scent of the boy's body woke up the stray dogs in the garbage heap, and the stray dogs sprang out of the garbage heap and barked at the uninvited guest, announcing whose territory it was.

The silence of the alley was broken.

But several homeless people remained indifferent to the barking of stray dogs.

The barking of dogs in his ears caused the boy to feel a strong sense of confusion, and a cold wind blew, and the boy shivered.

His eyes cleared, and after a moment of confusion, he looked around in horror, the darkness that he couldn't see his fingers brought boundless fear, he didn't understand why he had come here from the warm bed, but the fear prompted him to speed up his pace immediately.

He's going to get out of here.

Sou!

A sound of breaking wind came quickly, followed by a black shadow like a goshawk, which fell from the sky and landed precisely beside the young man.

Even though the alley was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, the boy could feel a person suddenly appear in front of him, and he could even feel the hot breath from the other person's breath.

The startled boy subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and scream, but the other party covered his mouth.

"Shhhhh It's me, your big brother. ”

A familiar voice, a familiar title, the boy's tense body immediately relaxed.

"Uh-huh, hmm!" The boy whose mouth was covered was so excited that he forgot his fear. He hadn't seen his big brother in a long time. The boy's family of three brothers and sisters is the eldest brother, and the dragon sees the head but does not see the end.

Although I don't know why we met here, I finally caught the eldest brother, and the boy had a lot to say.

He wanted to tell his eldest brother that his physical fitness had improved again, and he was confident that he would go further within half a year, so that he might be able to officially become a quasi-martial artist in the first half semester of high school!

He wanted to tell his eldest brother that his sister's eighteenth year of college had changed, and she was no longer the chubby girl she was a year ago, and now she had a lot of suitors just after her first year of high school.

He wanted to tell his eldest brother that he could also make money and was a man in the family.

He also wanted to tell his eldest brother that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he missed him too.

The boy had a lot to say.

But the shadow did not let go of the hand that covered the boy's mouth, but pushed harder.

The boy's face was pressed painfully, and he wanted to cry a little in confusion, he couldn't understand why the eldest brother, who had always been gentle, suddenly covered his mouth so vigorously.

"Shhhh Next, I said, listen, I don't have much time! The shadow whispered in the boy's ear but said quickly.

"I'm leaving, and I'm going to be away for a long time, longer than ever!"

"Take this knife, you must, you must, you must! Take it with you! Remember, people are in the knife! Also, although it will be very bitter, don't worry about temporary gains and losses, on the day of the seven stars, you will usher in a transformation. As he spoke, he untied a knife that had been holding behind his back with one hand and shoved it into the boy's hand.

The boy's height is not too tall, one meter six, this knife stands up, counting the hilt, even a little taller than the boy. The boy was covered in the mouth, but he still took the knife, the knife was in the scabbard, and the boy held the scabbard, feeling that there was still a rag wrapped in the scabbard.

The rag doesn't feel good, and the material feels inferior when you hold it, and it's a little broken.

"Seven Stars Alignment, What Seven-Star Alignment?" The little boy's big delicate eyes were full of doubt, and he wanted to ask, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.

"Xiaochen, take care of your parents and sister." After explaining the most important thing, the voice of the black shadow was a little reluctant, he wanted to stay with his brother for a while, but time did not allow it, they were about to catch up.

Feeling the parting meaning in the dark shadow's tone, the boy didn't understand why he was leaving just after meeting, so he reached out in a panic and grabbed the clothes in front of the black shadow.

So sticky, what's the matter, wet?

Reaching back and putting it in front of his eyes, his nose twitched a few times, and the boy's eyes widened in horror.

Blood, gore! It's blood, it's blood!!

"Mm!!!!mm The boy struggled violently, but was useless under the claw-like palm.

"Remember, we come from the end of the flames, and we will find answers from the glow. This is my last entrustment to you. With that, the shadow stretched out his other hand and pointed his finger at the door of the boy's head.

"Sleep, the dream will bring you to see me, and the dream will also make you remember this night."

Hearing the dark shadow's words, the boy felt as if the outside voice was getting farther and farther away from him, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.

Looking at the sleeping boy, the shadow fell silent.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I shouldn't have put this burden on your shoulders... But this is me, the only way. This Zheng Zheng man, who has never shed tears since he was 7 years old, still can't help but leave tears, which are reluctant, but more distressed.

Hurriedly wiping away his tears, the dark shadow picked up the boy, lifted the garbage can, and shoved him into the garbage heap, ignoring the stench.

What he didn't notice was that after he stuffed the boy into the garbage heap, an invisible demonic red light flashed on the knife that was stuffed into the garbage heap, and the red light swept over the boy, and his eyelids trembled slightly.

After closing the lid, look at the homeless people around the dumpster.

"I'm sorry, I don't dare to ask for your forgiveness." A trace of unbearability flashed in the black shadow's eyes, but he was still ruthless, he didn't dare to bet. Anything that might expose the boy's traces must not be left behind.

With a few flicks of the hand, with a few slight cutting sounds, the heads of the stray dogs and homeless men rolled down.

With a wave of his hand, the black shadow pinched to death and ended several lives!

There was a faint shouting sound in the distance, and the black shadow no longer hesitated, and took off again, and the violent movement also caused the extremely deep wound on his body to crack again, leaving a trail of blood.

Ten seconds later, the alley once again ushered in several masked uninvited guests.

"Hmph, that's a fast run!" The masked man in the lead glanced at the headless corpses in the alley, and said coldly, "It's worthy of being a night wandering god, and it's really unscrupulous to cover up your tracks!" ”

Unfortunately, the moon that had been hidden behind the dark clouds appeared again, and under the moonlight, the bloodstains that had gone all the way north were clearly visible.

The masked man in the lead laughed, and his smile was peculiar, as ugly as a crow's cry. With a wave of his hand to the north, several figures pursued again.

They didn't notice that in the trash can, a boy had opened the lid and was covering his mouth hard to keep himself from making a sound.

Even though he was trembling all over, he watched their departing figures without blinking, and the boy gritted his teeth and stared at the arms of several masked men by the moonlight.

There, the symbol of a hideous elephant stands out, with a skull under the elephant's feet, as if it were stepping on a sea of corpses.

Blood, admonitions, knives, masked men, crow-like laughter, elephants, skulls, intertwined into that hellish night.
