Chapter 1321: Exploring the Wilderness (36)

At the same time, somewhere in the jungle in southeastern Great Britain.

The base of the southeastern branch of the Red Spider Thieves is cleverly hidden in a naturally formed underground cavern deep in the dense forest. Due to the complexity of the cave system, and the fact that the ore carrying magnetic gas can greatly disrupt all kinds of detector materials, the cave has become the most secret hiding place for thieves.

In fact, the cave is so secretive and complex that even the thieves themselves cannot fully grasp its inner workings. If you don't often travel through the cave, people who are very familiar with this place can easily get lost in this cave, trapped in various naturally occurring death traps, either starving to death or falling to death, and more likely to die under the claws of various poisonous snakes and beasts in the cave.

However, none of this qiē has anything to do with Daniel. The Black Iron Knight boy walked through the dense forest, followed the fleeing thieves far away, and entered the cave. The main entrance to the cave may have been heavily guarded, but the thieves were not trained sentinels after all, and the cave was full of dark corners, and it didn't take much effort for Daniel to sneak in.

Instead of attacking head-on, he took a detour to the less patrolled caves, hiding his body in the jagged shadows of the caves along the way. In order to facilitate the next attack of his companions, he left road signs as he walked, and at the same time tried to choose lone patrols to kill them one by one, and dragged the killed thieves into the shadows to hide. The weapons in his hand were a light gun and a lightsaber, both of which were minimized and almost silent when used, but stealth assassination was sufficient, after all, the thieves were almost unarmed, and even the most powerful light bullets could shoot them in the head.

Another thief patrol walked by. Hiding behind a rock three feet away, Daniel carefully raised his lightsaber, observed the movement around him, and then flew out. The thief heard a faint sound of wind behind his head and was about to look back, but his head had been sliced off by a flash of red light from a lightsaber. The boy dragged the thief's headless body into the shadows and hid it, picked up the dead thief's head, looked at it, and discarded it. There was a strange feeling creeping through Daniel's mind. He had killed hundreds of people in just a few hours on today's mission, and he had killed so many in one go for the first time in his life. But he didn't feel the slightest guilt or sadness, as if he had been accustomed to killing people from the moment he was born.

There are thousands of excuses to excuse yourself. The thieves he killed were all wicked scoundrels, they all deserved to die, if he didn't kill these scoundrels, he would be killed by them, so he killed only for his own survival, and Mr. Doré needed him to complete this mission. Mr. Doré is in desperate need of the mission's bounty to save his son. Yes, there can be a whole lot of excuses, and the beautiful words that justify oneself can be made up of countless sentences, just like the shameless hypocrites of the world. But Daniel knew very well in his own heart that this was not the case.

He knew he didn't need a reason to kill calmly.

Perhaps, it's just because his heart is dead and his soul is numb, so he has become the cold-blooded monster who kills people without blinking an eye.

Perhaps, it is only because he has no scruples and no worries that he can so indulgently wield the bloody sword to kill and hunt.

He had the aura of a dead man in his eyes, and he was a walking corpse. And the dead have no heart, no fear, and no knowledge of virtue.

The only thing that could distinguish him from the real dead was that he still had a heartbeat, that he still had hot blood in his body, and that he had to set a goal for himself before he could kill. And this goal is to help a child he has never met in his life.

"Who?!" As Daniel stared at the corpse in the shadows, a thief in the distance seemed to spot him.

However, before the thief could shout more, the young man of the Black Iron Knight rushed to the thief, and with a stroke of his lightsaber, he split the hapless gangster in two. The whole process was as smooth and natural as a dance, and Daniel's brow didn't even wrinkle a halfway. The number of killings he has killed has increased by a mere one, and it is just a matter of course. He dragged the two halves of the corpse, found a dark corner to hide the corpse, and continued to grope forward.

He walked down the slightly narrow cavern corridor and walked less than a hundred yards to a lounge-like place. Under the dim kerosene lamp, in front of tattered wooden tables and chairs, five ragged thieves were drinking ale and playing cards. The light of the kerosene lamp flickered, occasionally illuminating the dark parts of the cave, revealing Daniel's hiding place. It's almost impossible to sneak through here, and the only way is to kill all five thieves.

However, there are five people on the other side, is it really that simple? It is not impossible to rush over and forcibly kill someone, but the risk can be said to be extremely high. If a thief misses out on the spot, the fleeing enemy will sound the alarm, alerting the entire base. Even if no enemy escapes, if you engage this group, the sound of fighting will attract more thieves.

What the hell should I do?, Daniel raised his light gun. Is it necessary to explode the heads of all five men in an instant? But it is clear that Daniel does not have such excellent shooting skills. However, the quick-witted Black Iron Knight boy noticed that the kerosene in the lounge was placed just above the heads of the five men, suspended three yards from the table, hanging from a thick rope.

Without much thought, Daniel fired a shot at the hemp rope - with the minimum output of the light gun, of course. The tiny light projectile grazed the air with a tiny "whoosh" and landed precisely on the rope, cutting it off.

The thieves, who were playing cards and drinking a little beer, didn't hear the sound of the light bullets and the ropes breaking, and by the moment the kerosene lamp fell over their heads, it was too late.

The knocked kerosene lamp collided with the tabletop and exploded like an incendiary bomb. Along with the burning kerosene, shards of glass from the lamps flew everywhere, some of which fell into the thieves' faces and even splashed into their eyeballs. The thieves, burned by the flames and with shards of glass in their eyes, panicked and began to roll on the ground in order to extinguish the fire on their bodies. Daniel took the opportunity to rush over and kill one thief with a single sword, then shot another enemy in the head, then swept with his sword, cutting off another thief on the ground, and finally added two shots to destroy all the remaining enemies.

Kerosene lamps set the lounge seats on fire, causing a small fire. But there was nothing in the lounge except for a few broken weapons and beer kegs, and the stone walls were also non-combustible, so there should be no danger of the fire spreading. Daniel picked up the beer keg and threw it towards the center of the fire, and the contents of the smashed beer keg were everywhere, and the fire was immediately extinguished, and the rest room, which was originally lit by kerosene lamps, immediately became dark.

At the very least, you have to do a job of hiding corpses. Without thinking too much, the boy chopped up the corpses of the thieves with a lightsaber and threw them into the empty barrels. The lounge was laid out as if it had been abandoned after a fire, but there was no sign of a fight, and even if a patrolling thief came to see it, he wouldn't be too suspicious - as long as they didn't open the barrels to see.

Daniel suddenly felt as if he had done something very cruel, but somehow, he didn't feel the slightest guilt in his heart.

In this lounge, a small black snake with no luster was watching this qiē. Or rather, the snake is the demon of a certain mage, and the mage is looking at this qiē through the eyes of the little snake. Seeing Daniel's ruthlessness, the mage's mouth lifted into a mysterious smile.

In the same lounge, a small golden winged lizard is hidden in the high stone wall. Evil Star watched Daniel kill people all the way, and he saw the expressionless and insensitive appearance of the young man when he killed indiscriminately, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

After dealing with a qiē, Daniel moved on. Along the way, he encountered a patrol of two thieves, who should not have been attacked, but once Daniel had experience in killing enemies, he became bold and wanted to kill as many enemies as he could. He silently followed the patrol and suddenly appeared as the two thieves reached the corner of the narrow corridor of the cave, and swept them before they could react!

"Kill, kill!" Another thief at the end of the cave who happened to walk by saw this scene and was about to shout, but Daniel had already raised his light gun and shot through the thief's throat with one blow, so that the gangster could not scream!

The young man of the Black Iron Knight dragged the bodies of the two thieves of the patrol to a dark place to hide, and then walked to the famous thief who had been pierced through the throat to take a look.

The other party did not seem to be breathing, but his throat and back of his neck were completely destroyed, and he was unable to scream, and his lower body was completely paralyzed and unable to move. Filth flowed from the scoundrel's strands and began to pollute the ground, while the enemy looked at Daniel with tears in his eyes, as if begging the boy for mercy.

What to do. There was only a small piece of corpse hiding in the hallway, and there was no more corpse to stuff in. Daniel frowned wistfully.

By the way, just dissect the enemy. Without much thought, the boy raised his lightsaber, cut the dying thief in front of him into dozens of pieces, picked up the body and threw it into the crack of the stone to hide it, and covered the hiding place with some stones of various sizes. He was doing very cold-blooded things as a matter of course, but he was completely unaware that he had become so cold-blooded.

"I seem to have heard something just now, is the situation okay here?" one of the thieves seemed to hear the screams of his companion and came to check on the situation.
