Xiao Ning stroked the alloy long knife in his hand, thinking about how to spend this summer vacation.

It has been three days since the martial arts examination, and Xiao Ning has nothing to do in the past three days, so when he has time, he runs to the Hurricane Martial Arts Pavilion to find Yuan Kai to practice the Eight Miscellaneous Swords.

However, because it was a summer vacation, there were suddenly a lot more apprentices in the Hurricane Martial Arts Gym, and Yuan Kai, as a specially hired martial artist, had to join the ranks of training martial arts apprentices.

In this way, Xiao Ning is embarrassed to go, after all, he can't delay other people's business, right?

But then again, even if Xiao Ning goes to find Yuan Kai, there is nothing to learn, and the remaining sevenfold sword duel of the Eight Miscellaneous Knife Dueling, Xiao Ning has already copied it from Yuan Kai's mind. Therefore, the only thing that can improve himself when he goes to Yuan Kai is to train his combat experience.

However, after all, the combat experience is better in actual combat, and training in the martial arts hall is a grade lower than actual combat after all.

On this day, Xiao Ning did not go to the Hurricane Martial Arts Hall, but came to the library in Jiangcheng City.

There are a large number of books hidden in the library of Jiangcheng City, and you can basically find them here as long as you want to read them.

Xiao Ning entered the library and spent several days reading through all the books about the fierce beasts outside the city, the energy ores, and the herbs containing the source power. Now that you have decided to become a martial artist, of course, this knowledge must be learned.

Martial arts is a profession where danger and wealth coexist, and because of the cosmic storm, there are many valuable things outside the city that can be dug up and sold in the city.

For example, ores that contain source power can be absorbed by warriors and can also be used as energy. The herbs containing the source power are even more remarkable, and can be used for medicinal alchemy.

If one day you go to a wild place outside the city and see valuable ores and herbs but don't recognize them, you will laugh off your big teeth.

Thousands of books were easily completed in a few days under Xiao Ning's reading of ten lines at a glance. Although you can't remember all the things you have seen, as long as you see the real thing, you can still remember it, and now Xiao Ning's brain is quite a computer with a powerful storage capacity, and it is easy to store this knowledge.

Finally, under the stunned gaze of the librarian, Xiao Ning returned the last book and walked out of the library.

Stretching his waist, Xiao Ning wrapped the alloy long knife around his waist with a gray cloth. Then I went to the store and bought a backpack. After filling it with the things that he needed to use in the wild, Xiao Ning straddled the knife and carried his backpack straight out of the city.

He had already decided to go to the wild forest outside the city to have a look.

As for why the long knife was wrapped in gray cloth, it was because this alloy long knife was quite valuable, and if it was exposed, it might cause extraneous branches.

At this time, Xiao Ning was dressed very much like an ancient samurai with a sword, with a long knife diagonally across his waist.

Well, if you don't have that modern backpack on your back.

Arriving at the city gate, Xiao Ning found a driver who was soliciting customers.

"Master, go outside the city." Xiao Ning got into the car and said to the driver.

"Little brother, are you going to the suburbs?" While driving, the driver couldn't help but be authentic.

"No, I'm going out of town." The outskirts are where humans grow their crops, and there are occasional beasts or two, but they are generally very safe. Since Xiao Ning decided to go out of the city, he naturally wanted to see what the real barren forest was like.

"And where are you going? Is it because you want to go to a wild land? The driver was puzzled.

"That's right! It's to go to the Wild Lands! Xiao Ning patted the seat and said indifferently.

……

Outside Xiao Ning's home.

A man with a scar on his face held a photo in his hand, and slowly inquired about Xiao Ning's residence all the way, and the photo in his hand was Xiao Ning.

The scarred man's name is Huda, and his nickname is Beard. His job is a broker, in modern parlance as an intermediary, pulling out business for high-level organizations like shadow killing. But although he is an intermediary, he can barely be regarded as a shadow killer.

He had met Li Ren in prison before, and Li Ren promised him all kinds of rewards, and according to the custom, Huda should report this task to the people, and let the people above send killers to complete the assassination.

However, this mission is too simple, and it turns out to be the assassination of a seventeen-year-old student. No, using the word assassination is simply humiliating shadow killing, it should be as easy as pinching an ant to death a student named Xiao Ning.

Although this mission is extremely simple, but there is an elixir that can enhance the source power of the essence pill, Hu Da thought about it for a long time, and decided to swallow this task himself, if he killed the target Xiao Ning, then wouldn't he be able to enjoy the reward alone.

He has already investigated Xiao Ning's details, although it is a little strange for him to change from a liberal arts student to a martial arts student, but Xiao Ning is a seventeen-year-old child after all, and he has not let Hu Da take it seriously.

You know, Huda is a second-level assassin.

If you swallow the Essence Nourishing Pill in your arms again, you will most likely become a third-level assassin!

The Essence Cultivation Pill was forced by Hu Da to hand it over to Li Renxian first, but if he took it now, he would immediately fall into the cultivation period, and I am afraid that he would not be able to complete the task. In order to be able to get the rest of Li Ren's compensation, Hu Da decided to endure it first, and wait until he killed Xiao Ning before taking it.

Anyway, with his current strength, it is more than enough to deal with a mere seventeen-year-old boy.

"Hello, I'm here to find someone." Hu Da smiled, tried to look like a good person, and asked the neighbors around him with Xiao Ning's photo.

"Oh, you're looking for Ning Boy." An old man said, "I heard that he has become a martial artist." ”

"And where is he now?" Huda asked patiently.

"I think I'm out of town." The old man said, "I heard Ning Xiaozi say that he was going to see the world outside the city, and it is estimated that he is out of the city now." ”

"Out of town?" Huda was ecstatic in his heart, it would be great if Xiao Ning was really outside the city! With the environment outside the city, I don't know how many people will die every day, and the disappearance of a seventeen-year-old student should be a normal thing!

Huda couldn't help but laugh, the corners of his mouth cracked, and his metal teeth shone with a cold sheen.

It took a little time, and Hu Da used his connections to know Xiao Ning's route to the outside of the city. Hiring a car, the dagger in Huda's hand pulled a knife light, and sneered and came to the place where Xiao Ning was.

"Huh? Have you arrived in the Wild Jungle? Xiao Ning got out of the car, and a lush forest appeared in front of him, and tall trees rose from the ground as if to pierce the sky.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ning grasped the hilt of the long knife, and then swung his body and walked towards the depths of the forest.
