Chapter 8: The First Sight of the Green Phoenix
The jade scorpion's jade-like eyes flickered slightly.
After a moment of panic, he regained his composure, and suddenly reached out and lifted the veil on his face, revealing a cheek that charmed all beings.
I have to say that the other party is indeed a peerless beauty.
"Is Childe willing? As long as you spare ......"
"Brush!"
The ice blade slashed through the sky, Lin Yi didn't know how to use the knife, but his speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had already collected the knife and turned around.
The blade made of ice gradually melted because it lost the maintenance of forging cold energy, and fell to the ground mixed with blood. When the dagger was inserted back into the scabbard, the jade scorpion took a deep breath as if suffocating, and fell to the ground with a pop.
From her throat, a line of blood burst open, staining the ground red.
Lin Yi sighed, he didn't dare to bet, if he looked at it any longer, he might really be shaken.
is a femme fatale, it's not easy to be ruthless.
turned over and got on the horse, and Lin Yi left this bamboo forest, which was just an episode for him. By the way, verify the power of forging cold strength.
Assassin selection, the top seven can become the strongest seven shadow assassins in the Xuanwu Kingdom, such a grand ceremony, for the Xuanwu Kingdom, is unprecedented.
Rights, reputation, as long as you are interested in it, will participate.
Xuanwu Lake, on the border of the Xuanwu Kingdom, borders the desert in the west, the sea in the north, and the other two sides are full of high mountains, and through the desert is the ally of the Xuanwu Kingdom, the land of the Shenji Kingdom. Because the landscape resembles Xuanwu, it is named after it.
At the border, there are often no people, but in recent days it has been completely different.
Horses can often be seen galloping, hooves trampling on the yellow sand, or human figures flashing, all targeting the branch of the Assassin League where Xuanwu Lake is located. And because of the selection of the League of Assassins this time, there is no cover-up.
As a result, not only the Assassins, but also many merchants, set up a makeshift market here to sell weapons, poisons, and healing medicines, and the business was not good.
"It's pretty lively."
A figure on a white horse stopped in front of the market, dressed in a black trench coat with a hood covering his cheeks.
Lin Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, lifted his hood, and it took nearly ten days of hard work for him to finally arrive. The main thing is that along the way, the trouble is really not small.
I don't know if it's because he just ranked 100th in assassins, which caused many assassins to point the finger at him.
Along the way, he had a few more lives in his hands.
"Come on, take a look, the family heirloom cheats, eighteen palms of the dragon, only five thousand."
"Dog sticks, dragon slaying knives, heavenly swords, peerless weapons, as long as 30,000, only this day, first come, first served."
The shouts all around came and went.
Lin Yi didn't have much interest in paying attention to it, if it was really a good thing, would he still use them to sell it.
I went directly to the branch of the Assassin League, just by the lake of Xuanwu Lake, built next to the lake, a three-story quaint small building, which looked no different from an ordinary inn.
There were two tall guys standing guard at the door, and when they saw Lin Yi coming, they just glanced at it and returned to their original state.
As soon as he entered the inn, a deep voice slowly sounded.
The one who spoke was a three-meter-tall strong man with a pen and paper in his hand.
"Please verify your identity."
Lin Yi nodded, lifted his hood, revealing a handsome and cold cheek, but the recent long-distance travel made him a little tired, but it added a bit of stability.
"No. 92 on the Assassin Rankings, Codename, Smoke!"
A red ray of light swept through Lin Yi's body.
The strong man reported Lin Yi's identity at the same time, nodded slightly, and recorded it on the paper.
"The Shadow Assassin selection, there are three days left, and in three days, we will meet at the border in the morning."
After the strong man finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Lin Yi anymore, because someone walked in again.
Lin Yi smiled slightly, and his ranking rose again. I have to say that the intelligence methods of the Assassin Alliance are indeed powerful. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the strong man urging the two newcomers.
"Please verify your identity."
Still the same tone.
Hearing this, the man in the black trench coat took off his hood expressionlessly.
"Qing, Lord Qingfeng."
After the strong man saw the face of the person who came, he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head, and his voice became extremely respectful.
"This is my apprentice, let's sign up together."
The person who spoke, with long white hair and a shawl that covered half of his cheeks, had a double blade hanging from his waist, and was wearing an ancient robe with purple and black patterns.
Lin Yi's pupils shrank, and he had a lot of jealousy about this character.
In the original book, except for knowing that he eventually became a shadow assassin like Qi, he didn't know his ambition and strength at all.
"Yes, yes, I don't know who the good apprentice is?"
The strong man laughed repeatedly.
The selection of the Shadow Assassin, although it is open to the public, but with Qingfeng's strength, what is the difference between it and the internal decision.
"Plum Thirteen."
Plum Blossom Thirteen lifted his hood and glanced at Lin Yi from afar.
"It turns out that the newcomer who has risen in recent days is the apprentice of Lord Qingfeng, no wonder he has rushed into the top 100 in just a few months." The strong man patted the horses' ass, and neatly recorded the names of the two on the paper.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Lin Yi saw a hint of desire to win from the other party's eyes.
Do you want to make yourself a goal?
Lin Yi smiled bitterly, he had nothing to do with Qingfeng, since he had reported his name, he should also leave, and he was ready to go out.
"Smoke? That's right, Thirteen owes you a favor, I'll pay him back, this selection is in danger, you can report my name. ”
Lin Yi paused as he stepped out, and glanced at Qingfeng.
Are you being underestimated?
"Huh...... Thanks. ”
Lin Yi put on his hood, and no one could see his expression.
Looking at Lin Yi's back, after a long time, Qingfeng slowly spoke.
"This person has a lot of potential and ambition, if you have the opportunity, kill him directly."
"Yes."
Plum Blossom Thirteen responded.
After going out, Lin Yi found an inn and ran around for a long time, he was also tired, and he had already wanted to take a good rest.
As soon as I went to bed, a prompt suddenly sounded.
"Trigger side quests, Assassin selection, and reward 100 points for each Assassin killed who is ranked higher than the host."
"Tsk~"
Lin Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, the selection of assassins, how can there be no blood, this reward came just right.
He's worried about the huge amount of points needed to upgrade his Forging Strength.
And he found that it was indeed time for him to practice his weapons. He is not a bare-toothed, steel-toothed and iron-mouthed person.
