Chapter 16: The Killing

"Roar!!

In the valley, there was a roar.

Not a roar, but a cry of despair.

"Haha! Roar! Despair!! And in the middle of this is a female voice full of pleasure.

It's abrupt, but it's unusually harmonious.

The woman's voice is very good, with a slight greenness mixed with maturity, but at this time it can't help but feel creepy.

It's a valley in the middle of a dense forest, off the beaten track.

And the reason why there are so few people here is very simple - dangerous species, large numbers of dangerous species living in groups.

They are generally not of a high level, but they have a strong desire to attack. Not to mention the people who walked into the forest, even the people in the small villages outside the forest were often attacked, and countless people died every year.

From time to time, the empire sent troops to clean it up, but with little success.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the left-behind army, the key is that the dense forest inhabited by dangerous species is too large, and the army has penetrated countless times but has never found the lair of these saboteurs.

But now, Estes easily took Su Mo to find the dangerous nest that had been a headache for the Empire/Army for a long time.

-- A deep, deep canyon hidden.

At least Su Mo said that if he didn't open the induction, he probably wouldn't be able to turn here for the rest of his life. Although if he didn't turn on the induction, he wouldn't be able to turn around anywhere.

Su Mo also asked Estes if there was any trick to finding this place so easily, but her answer was very simple:

"It's just an instinctive feeling, there is a group of weak people waiting for me to ravage here!"

It was speechless but surprisingly Estes-style answers.

There was a river in the valley that was not small, but not too big, and it didn't take long for it to flow into an underground cave and become an underground river. This may be the reason why the army has not found the habitat of dangerous species after many searches, after all, according to common sense, no matter what kind of creature, it will live close to the water source, so it is not wrong to find the habitat of dangerous species along the river.

However, the river has turned into a dark river and flows underground, and with the vast jungle that resembles a primeval forest, it is really difficult to find this place.

But Estes just found it, not only did he find it, but he killed it happily.

The river had been stained red with blood, and it was bright red.

This dangerous species is strange-looking, lizard-like, but it is the size of a calf, with horns on the top of its head, hard, rough black skin, and thin dark red streaks around each scale. With a mouthful of disheveled but sharp teeth, they huddled together in droves, squirming and crawling towards Estes.

Su Mo didn't know the name of this thing, because Estes didn't say it. And she didn't say it because these guys were too weak, and they would disappear soon, so there was no need to say it.

"That's what it looks like," Estes held in his hand a long knife that was more like a decoration, the blade no longer gleaming, as it had been smeared with a whole layer of thick plasma.

At her feet, beside her, there were slowly piled up countless mutilated corpses, some of which were even twitching lightly in some parts of her body, a piece of scarlet.

However, Estes was spotless, still wearing a tight military uniform with a black collar and a white background, still white skin as crystal clear as snow, and even his hip-length silver-blue gorgeous hair was still shimmering slightly in the not yet hot sun of late spring, without flaws.

"Estes, is this too cruel?" Su Mo stood on a tall boulder next to him with his hands in his hands.

"What's wrong? Ahaha, isn't it very normal for the weak to be ravaged by the strong?! That's the best!! Estes laughed wildly, then turned around and slaughtered everything in front of him.

Su Mo didn't like this kind of killing, because Estes had never given these dangers a single happy death.

Cut off the horns first, then pick off the tendons, cut off the limbs, and slowly cut the skin

Every dangerous species is tortured before it dies.

"But, Xiaomo, is it really okay to just stand there like this? It's rare to come out hunting with me, don't you have a good time?! Suddenly, Estes, who was still very happy to kill, seemed to think of something, turned to Su Mo and asked.

There was also a rain of blood around her.

"yes, that's fine." Su Mo frowned and jumped from the boulder, but the speed at which his body fell was not fast, and it could even be described as 'floating'.

"Lend me your knife." Su Mo landed beside Estes, reached out and took her knife, and then, flicked it to the side.

"Huh?" Estes's gaze was fixed on Su Mo, and she seemed to hear a subtle sound.

It's like something sharp cutting through the air like a piece of paper, and the sound is sharp, but it's also very small, I don't know how to describe it.

If it were anyone else, most people would think she had misheard, but Estes wouldn't, she wouldn't doubt her instincts, let alone the long knife she saw in front of her, which was still soaked in blood, but now it was as polished as if it had just been built.

"It's very interesting, and it's really worthy of the person I fancie."

Estes' knife is not quite the same as other knives. Its blade is straight, and when viewed from the back of the blade, it is a line. It's just that there is a slight arc at the tip of the blade, similar to the ancient Tang knife of the Celestial Empire.

The blade is not wide, on the contrary, it should be considered very narrow, not even as wide as the nine-fold lotus.

Su Mo didn't like to use knives, except for the knife of Estes.

Because except for the fact that there is only one side of the blade, it is actually not much different from a sword.

"It's very comfortable." Su Mo's right hand rubbed the handle of the hilt, and there was a sense of flexible friction. And this knife is different from its thin appearance, it has a surprisingly heavy texture, and it feels good to hold in your hand.

The feeling of slashing.

"Are you going to perform for me, your swordsmanship?" Estes had a smile on his face, not the kind of dangerous and enjoyable smile he had when he had slain the dangerous species before, but a mixture of anticipation and pleasure.

"It's not a show, swordsmanship is used to kill, and it has nothing to do with performance." Su Mo squatted slightly, raised his head and stared at the super-large lizard-like dangerous species that were not afraid of death and rushed towards him.

The right hand relaxed, and the tip of the knife gently hung down to the ground, cutting through the dim blood on the ground.

"I'm not like you, I don't do so many superfluous things when I kill." As he spoke, the long knife was slowly raised: "I only do one thing, that is, chop!" ”

So Su Mo swung a knife horizontally, then stood up, habitually shook the blade that was not stained with anything, and then walked towards Estes.

"I'm sorry, but you don't have a chance to kill anymore."

"It's okay, because I've seen something more interesting."

As they spoke, the two of them walked away without caring about the tide of danger behind them.

As he walked, Estes hugged Su Mo's arm again, leaned his head lightly against him, and asked, "What is the name of that move just now?" ”

"I don't have a name, but I realized it in a previous battle when I really wanted to cut off the enemy. But then again, it's really hard for me to walk like this! Let me go!! ”

"Don't! However, with such a powerful move, your enemy must have died miserably, right?! ”

"No, it was actually me who was hanged, and the wound it left me has not healed to this day."

"What?! Show me!! ”

"Hey! Be civilized!! Don't rip off my clothes, you scoundrel!! ”

Almost fighting, the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the valley with a small river flowing out.

And behind them

The sound of "click" was not crisp, but it was crisp, as if something had simply broken off.

"Poof!!! In the valley, blood spurted into the sky and stained the cliffs.

Dangerous species, not one left!
