Chapter 4: Cultists

Excess physical strength can be turned into Cangyan at any time, and the excess Cangyan can not only replenish physical strength in turn, but even heal pain.

Coupled with the improvement of his physical fitness, Luo Ming, who has now returned to full condition, does not lack confidence, and now his strength is almost one and a half times that of before.

Buying a random set of clothes to change into, keeping a straight face and rubbing his hair with water, Luo Ming stepped into a tavern on another street.

After paying the price of a few bad wines, he successfully found the auction site......

No, I'm afraid it's not an auction, it can only be regarded as a black market, the threshold is not so high, and it is not practical for the auction house to be so big and want to hide in a small town.

Anything else is either useless to him, or he can't afford it, except for a local specialty, "rainbow grass", which he is bound to obtain.

In the black market, it is not that it is rare and precious, and the medicinal effect is actually average, but due to the sharp decline in production caused by large-scale mining in the past few years, the local aristocracy has banned the private sale of rainbow grass, and if you do not have a purchase permit, you can only go to the black market.

Although there are great differences between the worlds, there are also laughable similarities in some aspects, after hearing this reason, Luo Ming was stunned for a long time, remembering the news reports in his previous life about the theft of Cordyceps sinensis and snow lotus, which led to the desertification of the land.

Although there is a risk, this black market has not done much to cover up, there must be someone from above to support it, and there is no reason why something will happen today.

The rainbow grass that is commonly known to people can only be used for the configuration of one kind of heart-clearing elixir, and there are also two or three herbs that can be substituted.

But Aya has a lost ancient recipe, and can use it to configure the "Calming Decoction", saying that "the soul and body will be uncoordinated when they come back from the dead, and if they are left alone, there will be sequelae, and they can be run in faster with the Calming Elixir".

Luo Ming was not a professional robber after all, but he picked up a few times before escaping, and obtained sixteen imperial gold coins and five silver coins from the noble young master and others...... According to what Lisi said before and what she has observed in the past few days, this money is enough for the expenses of the citizen's family for a year.

One gold coin is basically equal to ten silver coins, or a thousand copper coins, and Luo Ming's most sumptuous meal has ever cost fifty copper coins—half a silver coin.

Buying enough rainbow grass - only thirty grams, in fact - cost four gold coins, which must have been inflated, but the monopoly business was like that.

Wrapping the rainbow grass in a white cloth and about to put it in his arms, Luo Ming suddenly had a strange feeling.

It seems to be being watched by someone, but it doesn't seem to be a simple gaze......

The feeling had just disappeared and it didn't take long for it to reappear.

"Detection spells, hell, which mage is fine......

Speaking of this, Aya paused for a moment, and suddenly said in a slightly hurried tone: "It's not an ordinary mage, it's a cultist, don't show it, get ready to fight and escape!"

Hearing this, Luo Ming was shocked, but he just relied on his physical control, and on the surface, he pretended to be unaware.

Cultists, in this world, are similar to the previous life, and even more serious. In most areas, it is possible to stop children's night crying, which is more unpopular than ogres.

The glory of the gods not only protects humans, but also the elves and dwarves also have relatively kind guardian gods, but there are some evil gods who prostrate in the shadows and oppose the entire civilized world.

Some evil gods only lead people to depravity and believe in extreme and strange doctrines, while others promote violence and chaos and crave the blood sacrifice of intelligent creatures...... Many cultists will do anything evil in exchange for power or to please the evil gods.

Blow yourself up in the crowd, summon demons, and kill people with blood...... Almost all cultists can call it "walking danger".

More than a million people were killed and wounded on both sides, including civilians, in the holy war against the cult more than a decade ago, and in the end, they were only traumatized and lurked into the darkness, but not completely eradicated.

Since it was confirmed that the other party was a cultist, Luo Ming made the highest level of vigilance.

"Can you spot his bearings?"

"Within twenty meters, he hasn't been locked up yet, and I don't know if he has any accomplices......"

"Understood. "Say it silently in your heart. Luo Ming pretended to be interested in the ore on the stall next to him and walked over slowly.

However, the sensation of detecting spells has not gone away.

I'm afraid that the other party didn't just come here to make trouble, and for some reason he directly targeted himself!

That's terrible...... For security reasons, the weapons carried by customers were unloaded and stored at the entrance of the black market, where they could not be reached at the moment.

In the aftermath of his vision, two men with weapons tried to make their way through the flow of people...... I'm afraid it's a member of the black market, could it be that this black market is still colluding with the cultists?

Pretending to be casual, Luo Ming moved his steps in the direction of the exit.

"Found it, that guy is-"

Needless to say, Luo Ming also saw the black-robed man standing next to the exit, as if nothing had happened.

Although many people who come to the black market will disguise themselves, the sense of danger exuded under the black robe and hood is something that ordinary criminals do not have.

Even if it is a strong person who is many times stronger than himself, such as his two masters, if he has no malicious intent, he will not give people such a feeling!

At the moment when their eyes staggered, I am afraid that the other party also realized that he was not ignorant, since this is the case, it is better to strike first.

Bounched down, narrowed his eyes, and in the next moment, Luo Ming swooped forward as quickly as a cheetah preyed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of three meters, and the black-robed man's face was a little stunned, but it did not reach the point of panic.

He took half a step back, almost subconsciously raised his hand, and spat out a few syllables, and a translucent shield appeared in front of him, blocking Luo Ming's way.

Although I had seen this spell in the noble manor before, the intensity was different this time.

The shield was filled with dark red lines, like leaf veins, exuding an evil and dangerous aura.

If you don't have the progress of these few days, and you are unarmed, maybe you won't be able to break through this defense in a short time. The next thing is to fall under siege from the cultists.

Now, though, it's different!

With that flutter, Luo Ming twisted his body, his waist and horse together, and gathered the strength of his whole body in his left arm.

The edge of the palm ignited with flames, and the originally pale white Cangyan was fully condensed, almost pure white—like a flash of sword light!

Triumphant Shinto Stream: No Sword!

It is said that the second master once smashed through the car door and severely injured the enemy when he was unarmed, which was originally considered a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that it is not impossible.

The armor-like shield was pierced by the fingertips, and several cracks quickly appeared, and before it could completely shatter, the aftermath of the knife blew into the face of the cultist mage.

It was just a gust of wind, but there was a little spark mixed in with it, and it blew on his face, making him scream and his face contorted.

Once concentration is no longer maintained, the shield breaks through and quickly dissipates.

At the same time, Luo Ming took a deep breath and stretched out his right palm forward.

"Ahh

Although it was a haste to exert force, Luo Ming also had some attainments in palming, and the palm hit his chest at this time, which made it difficult for him to breathe for a while, and if he was unlucky, he might suffocate, and even fracture his chest ribs and insert them into his heart and lungs.

It's silent, but it's terrifyingly destructive. It's just that this mage is in good physical condition and hasn't fallen down immediately.

In the next moment, Luo Ming turned his palm into a claw, grabbed the mage's black robe and threw it behind him.

At the same time, with this force, he rushed out of the exit before the doorman could react.

No matter where the mage is, it is a precious resource, and doing so is likely to drag one or two people on the other side to take care of the injured mage, which is a double win.
