Chapter 1: The Raptors Cross the River
Abyss City, although it is already the periphery of the periphery compared to the wizarding world centered on the Tongtian Witch Tower, it is still within the scope of the "Imperial City of the Son of Heaven" after all, after all, it is still a super-large city built up in a patchwork, and those who live in it can be regarded as "city people". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Since there are noble people in the city, then naturally there will be lowly people outside the city.
There are many settlements around the Abyssal City, and they will never be able to form a village of a certain size, because they are located in the Dark First Realm: the Poison Throne.
People outside the Abyss City can't get in, and the people inside will never want to go out, if it's an ordinary civilian, don't think about coming back again, but there is one exception: professionals.
"Why do all adventures have to start in the tavern? Can't we just change the starting point?" accompanied by a soft and beautiful female voice, the group of five walked into the tavern of the settlement.
This tavern is without a name...... At least there are no signboards. It's the only one in the entire settlement, so you don't have to worry about making mistakes.
"Where there is demand, there is naturally construction, and adventurers' taverns often have multiple functions such as brothels, casinos, restaurants, hotels, and even weapons shops and intelligence centers. The young man with black hair and black eyes replied, the leader of the five.
He held a thick round iron shield in his left hand, a one-handed axe of pure steel hanging from his waist, and seven javelins on his back.
This is not a lamb to devour at will. If there is not enough temptation, even the jackals will not attack the tiger cub with the ability to fight back.
The next moment, enough temptation pushed the door in.
A beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes jumped in with a shotgun in her beautiful white iron light armor, not so much out to take risks as to seek death.
Just that gorgeous light armor can attract dozens of armed men to besiege her, and if you match it with the girl's beautiful face, she has a bulging and graceful figure...... Such an item, even after a few rounds of enjoyment, is enough to sell for a price that a small gang is very happy with.
The two of them walked in with a gray-haired old man in armor and a long unsheathed knife, a man who wrapped his body in a black robe, and a thin but sharp-eyed young man.
Jiang Yusen, one of the very few scavengers who can fight in the dark realm for a long time, many people who are stronger than him have died, and many people who are smarter than him have died. However, when those who were stronger than him and more shrewd than him were reduced to dry bones, the young man, dressed in leather clothes, had clearly turned into a real thief.
The leader, the shooter, the swordsman, the mystery, the thief, such a classic configuration of members makes the strong men in the humble tavern try their best to suppress the heat in their hearts, if a pair of young boys and girls in love can still walk into the jackal's lair unsuspectingly, then the old swordsman, the cunning thief and a suspected mystery, they obviously can't make such a low-level mistake again.
These five men and women are either idiots with water in their brains. Or, it's a hard commodity with extreme strength.
The five of them sat down at a table in the middle of the tavern, and did not pretend to order anything to serve, which made some of the more cautious people more vigilant...... However, there are those who are vigilant, and there are those who are still carried away by beauty and money.
A big rough hand slammed on Jiang Yusen's shoulder, and an ugly man who looked a little drunk and thin, but with a beer belly exposed, leaned on the young man's back. However, his gaze remained staring like a hungry dog on the white cheeks of the girl who seemed to be able to pinch out water.
"Jiang Yusen, you little king bastard, where did you go to get rich lately? It's time to pay off the debts you owe your brother in the past few months, right?"
“...... Skinny, I know what you're thinking. Listen to my advice, while your head is still on your neck, and leave quickly. Jiang Yusen's sincere tone of advice is that although there is indeed a rule that scavengers in the settlement regularly pay "protection money" to the professional group, it is just an excuse for the professional to rob the scavengers, and there are dozens or hundreds of large and small professional groups in each settlement, and they are born and destroyed, even if there are scavengers who want to spend money to keep them safe, it is impossible to hand over filial piety to each group.
So, any group of professionals can dig up the debts of a scavenger who hasn't paid protection money for months if they need to.
"You T......" The thin ghost wanted to press Jiang Yusen's head and smash it on the wooden table, but the moment his palm touched the back of Jiang Yusen's head, Liu Yidao, who was sitting next to the young man, had already pressed him on the wooden table table first. Looking at the dirty neck in front of him, Zhu Peng slowly lifted the all-steel hand axe with his right hand, and his eyes were cold...... Walking the rivers and lakes, the heart is not ruthless, the stand is unstable, the same is true in ancient and modern times.
Raising his axe, in the tavern, Zhu Peng cut off the neck of the man in front of him with his axe in front of him in front of all the professionals present.
The axe was swift and ruthless without hesitation, and the thin ghost's neck was completely slashed, and the crimson blood water almost did not splash but spread rapidly along the wooden table, and then flowed down in an uproar.
Another life has disappeared in this hand since Senior Brother Ma Huo, but if Zhu Peng was hesitant and regretful when killing Senior Brother Ma Huo, then when he killed the man in front of him, Zhu Peng's state of mind was cold and indifferent. When I started to kill people from the beginning of my boxing, I went to college and cleaned my hands for a while, and then the abyss invaded, and I took a group of senior brothers and sisters to fight thousands of miles to kill a bloody road, and in the process the monsters killed a lot, but people also killed less, at that time, in order to grab a pig's leg to kill people, to grab a bus to kill people, or even just to chop a person's hand just for half a steamed bun...... When he kills, he kills, when he breaks off, after returning to a safe environment, Zhu Peng will reflect, regret and even regret, but when the hand of the weapon picks up the weapon again, he is still calm and powerful, and he still kills without hesitation.
The axe fell, and the red blood spread......
The men who had just shared the table with the skinny ghost all stood up with a bang, each of them carrying a weapon. However, Zhu Peng put the steel axe next to his hand, and he sat down again, but it was Liu Yidao who drew the knife, Jiang Yusen held the crossbow, and the robe covered Cole had already pinched a handful of pale white phosphorus powder in his hand, and even Yi Wen quickly untied the double-barreled shotgun he was carrying, and the four of them confronted a group of professionals.
Zhu Peng, who sat down again, sneered and pushed the corpse off the table, then grabbed his hair and picked up the head of the thin ghost and threw it directly at the feet of those professional table emperors, this ruthless young man turned his head sideways and asked with a smile: "I just saw that you were drinking with him, you are a brother who has a good relationship, right? Then don't be stunned, copy the guy to cut me, how can you bear that your brother is lonely and lonely on Huangquan Road?"
Hearing this, a bald and bare young man with a strong upper body blushed and pulled out a single knife and was about to rush over to cut the black-haired and black-eyed young man, but he was slammed down by the older companion next to him on the shoulder.
"Misunderstanding, just a table together, we don't know him. ”
The middle-aged man with the beard who forced the bald young man to speak in response, and with his glancing gaze, the professionals around him who had already drawn their weapons sat down, as if admitting resignation. However, Zhu Peng noted...... The thinnest and most inconspicuous of them all slipped into the corner of the tavern, and he ran out briskly.
"There's no need to do this, right? We're here to kill the monsters, and now we're killing people first. ”
Yi Wen, who sat down again, looked at the blood on the table and frowned slightly, although there were ruffians who came to make trouble when "Kidd's Blood" opened, it was never to the point of beheading or even group conflict on the spot.
"Yes, this is different from the city, it is more chaotic, more brutal and more free. What's more, Sister Yiwen, you yourself represent a lot of wealth, and we need to show strength that corresponds to this wealth or even more...... In such settlements, the remnants of the Earth, subhumans, humanoids from the abyss, and even other remnants of the Abyssal Devouring Plane. The demographic composition is too chaotic, and the least valuable thing here is, so to speak, human life. As he spoke, Jiang Yusen had already begun to collect the equipment on the thin ghost. If it was a mature team, even the arrogant legal priests would not let the thieves in the team do such dirty work alone, but Zhu Peng's current improvised team did not have such coordination.
Yiwen is so clean, Cole and Liu are arrogant, Zhu Peng doesn't mind collecting loot on the corpse, the problem is that now he poses to spread domineering, so he can only let Jiang Yusen work alone.
Fortunately, the young man is very quick with his hands and feet, and his years of experience as a scavenger have also brought him enough knowledge, although he is not as good as Zhu Peng's primary identification skills, but he is at least better than the other three people in terms of looting property.
Jiang Yusen quickly cleaned up all the valuable things, except for a dagger with an iron sheet wrapped in the end, all other miscellaneous things were rolled into a bag by Jiang Yusen and placed in the salute, and the headless body of the thin ghost was almost stripped into a bare pig.
"Let the treasures covered in dust return to their former glory. ”
After playing with the dagger for a moment, a faint light emerged. Zhu Peng unscrewed the iron cladding behind the handle of the dagger, revealing a broken green gem inside, which was firmly set in the handle holder, spreading pale green magic power to the entire dagger through a simple magic circle.
"A dagger inlaid with a broken emerald, it is itself endowed with the magic of toxin, and it will be even better if you quench it again. After looking at it for a while, he handed the dagger to Jiang Yusen again, he was the only one in the team who was suitable for this poisonous dagger, although because the gem was also worth a few dollars, but the others did not express their desire for this dagger when they saw it.
"A lowly professional actually has a dagger inlaid with gems on his body, and it seems that adventuring in the dark realm is indeed very rich, although the knife licks blood. ”
"If you don't go on such a financial route, you only know how to gather people to oppress your own kind...... More damn it. Liu Yidao looked at the dagger that Jiang Yusen was playing with between his fingers and said playfully, while Jiang Yusen showed some disgust, he had been in this kind of settlement for a long time, and he had seen too much ugliness and sin.
After waiting for about five minutes, there were still no ingredients and drinks on the blood-stained wooden table, and then Zhu Peng stood up and said to the other four, "I'll go out for a while." ”
"Need help?"
"You don't need to get your hands dirty to deal with some maggots that gather and rely on oppression of their own kind of parasites. Zhu Peng replied to Yiwen with a sneer, and then turned around and walked out.
"It is said that the origin of the Demon Dragon King contains the darkness that tempts and degenerates, but in fact, I think that even if there is a tempting and depraved factor in that power, it is just a push.
What's more, it's the brutality and tyranny of ordinary people after they have experienced the apocalyptic upheaval and suddenly have power, and most of them have not changed much after the martial arts practitioners in the old world have become transferred, but those who were ordinary and cowardly before the change of jobs have been bullied and oppressed by ordinary people more ruthlessly after the transfer...... I'm never going to be like that. "Turning with five fingers to play with the poisonous dagger that has just arrived, this is the most basic training technique for agile side professionals. Experienced and powerful agile side professionals, the dexterity of ten fingers makes ordinary people feel incredible, throwing knives, poisonous needles, or daggers, these delicate little guys pierce the vital points of the human body in their hands, and even more vicious and deadly than swords and battle axes.
After Jiang Yusen changed the thief profession, he could log in to the homepage of the ranger side through his personal account to learn various professional abilities, and the thief is not only stealing, lurking, and stealing, but also the powerful and experienced high-level thief stealing human life.
