This is a border town in the Rand Empire on the continent of Rand.

Barren and dilapidated.

The wooden fence outside the town can't even stop young children, so you don't have to think about it to know that it doesn't work to stop you.

The decay of the old wooden planks engraved with the three twisted words 'Blackstone Town' makes it even more decrepit.

However, despite the remoteness and desertion of Blackstone, there is still a steady stream of people coming here. A large part of this is due to the remoteness and barrenness of Blackstone.

Because of the remoteness, there are no strong people here, so it is very chaotic here. Due to the lack of management, it has become a haven for the chaotic. And, because there is no official management, it has become a huge black market. Here you can buy anything you want, even forbidden items that are forbidden by the Empire. Of course, the premise is that you have enough gold.

It's not just the black market that attracts people to Blackstone, it's not just because it's on the border of the empire, so it's inevitable that there are dark creatures. The presence of dark creatures has made Blackstone a hunting spot, attracting a steady stream of bounty hunters.

The streets of Blackstone are full of dust. A gust of wind blew, and the dust that had been dormant on the ground suddenly boiled.

Yukikaze leaned lazily against the corner of the street entrance of Blackstone Town, and Yukikaze didn't even think of dodging the oncoming dust. During his years in Blackstone, Snow Wind has become completely immune to this dust.

Looking at the flow of people coming and going in the street in front of him, Xue Feng weakly thought about what was good here. All these years in Blackstone have made Yukikaze completely tired of this place. He wanted to get out of here and fly to the outside world.

But thinking of his father, Xue Feng suddenly lost any hope for this idea. It's not that Xue Feng hasn't thought about leaving secretly over the years, but after being caught by his father several times and cleaning up again, Xue Feng gave up those senseless struggles.

Speaking of Xuefeng, he is an orphan, although his father has always emphasized that Xuefeng is his own, but not only Xuefeng, but even Xuefeng's neighbors don't believe it. Because they couldn't think that Xue Feng, a young man with clear eyebrows, was born to Dad, a man like crooked melons and cracked dates, and they all thought that it was impossible for an ugly man like Dad's to find a wife.

Regardless of whether Xuefeng was born by his father or not, Xuefeng was raised by his father, so his father is Xuefeng's father.

Daddy is extremely strict with Xuefeng, and all requirements must be met, which again makes Xuefeng firmly believe that he is not born by Daddy.

It's like today, it was supposed to be Xuefeng's rest time, but Xuefeng was still kicked out by his father to find work. What comforted Xue Feng was that he still didn't work for most of the day. This made Xue Feng extremely grateful to God for having mercy on his miserable child.

At this time, a group of people came from outside Blackstone Town, and they were dressed as bounty hunters.

Blackstone is a hunting ground for dark creatures, and it's not uncommon for bounty hunters to appear here. After all, the materials on the dark creatures can be sold for a very high price throughout the Rand continent.

Since dark creatures are always slightly stronger than humans at the same Force level in most cases, bounty hunters always form hunting squads to hunt dark creatures. Although this will divide the gains with the team members, it can greatly improve personal safety. After all, no matter how much gold you have, you have to have a life flower.

Lei Lie led the hunting team through the wooden fence of Blackstone and walked towards the entrance of the street.

The hunting team was formed by Lei Li and his younger brother Lei Leily, so Lei Li, who has a higher level of the Force, is the captain. This team had been hunting elsewhere, but because they had offended the other hunting teams, they had to leave for Blackstone to earn a living. There's no way, the reality is like this, others are better than you, so you can only run away.

"Reilly, you go find someone smart. Lei Lie said.

Reilly didn't say anything when he heard this, and walked over to where Yukikaze was.

Lei Lie's hunting team is not a local, and is not familiar with the geography of Blackstone Town. Every hunting spot like Blackstone has a group of people, mostly locals, who are familiar with the geography of their location and are paid to guide the bounty hunters who need guidance.

This kind of person is called a guide, and this is what Yukikaze is doing today.

Reilly walked around the corner at Blackstone, where Blackstone's guides gathered.

"You, that's right, it's you, come here. Reilly pointed to Yukikaze, who was in a daze.

The guides around Xuefeng all showed disappointed expressions when they saw it, but they couldn't do anything about it because of the customers picking people in this business.

Reilly returned to the team after speaking, and Yukifeng had no choice but to follow.

"This clever is clever enough, but it's not too young, I'm afraid it's inexperienced!" Lei Lie frowned at the coming Xue Feng.

"It's okay to be inexperienced, after all, gold coins can save a fortune. Reilly said meaningfully.

There are many guides who have died at the hands of dark creatures, and there are not a few who have died at the hands of bounty hunters.

Lei Lie frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. This hunting team was led by the two brothers Lei Releili together, so the other team members didn't say anything.

Xue Feng walked up to Lei Lie and asked, "Do you want to hunt werewolves or blood clans?" Seeing that the bounty hunters were all standing behind Lei Lie, he knew that Lei Lie was the leader, so Xue Feng asked Lei Lie directly.

"Do you think we should hunt werewolves or bloods?"

"I think you should hunt the BloodClan, as I'm more familiar with the area where the Bloodclan haunts. "Snow Wind Channel.

"Alright, then we'll hunt the Bloods. Lei Lie said. This doesn't mean that Lei Lie is arrogant, because whether it is hunting werewolves or hunting blood clans, it is the same for them, all for profit.

"Then let's go!" Xue Feng didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked out of Blackstone Town. The job of a guide is so simple.

Outside Blackstone, it was even more barren, the sky was gray, and there were only low, dead plants on the ground, which made an irritating clicking sound when stepped on.

Xuefeng led the hunting team for an hour and a half, and it was already dozens of miles away from Blackstone Town, but the hunting team still seemed very patient, after all, if they were not patient, they would have died at the hands of dark creatures.

Although Blackstone is said to be a hunting spot, the haunt of dark creatures is not close to Blackstone, after all, Blackstone Town cannot be so lively if dark creatures are often present. The Hunt Point is just a place for bounty hunters to hunt dark creatures.

After walking for nearly an hour, a forest appeared in front of the snow wind, and strangely this forest was all a bleak black, with a faint smoke wafting in it.

"This forest is the territory of the blood clan, and the edge of the forest is full of some low-level dark creatures, if you want to harvest rich and good, you need to go deeper, but the deeper you go, the stronger the dark creatures will be. You're all old bounty hunters, so you don't need me to remind you to do what you can. Xue Feng said calmly.

He'd been here countless times, so there's nothing surprising about him.

"Well, of course we do. Reilly said impatiently.

Bounty hunters are all characters who lick blood from the edge of the knife, and their psychology is naturally very strong, so after a short period of surprise, the members of the hunting team have regained their composure.

"In that case, let's go inside!" said Yukikaze.

"Get in!" said Lei Li.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two members of the team entered the forest. Snow Wind is only a guide, and most of the guides are not very strong, their task is to guide the bounty hunters, so they lead the way where they are not dangerous, and the bounty hunters open the way where they are dangerous.

After the members of the hunting team entered halfway, Yukikaze followed suit, right in the middle of the hunting team, which was the safest position.

In the forest, it is darker than the outside of the forest, and there is a chill on the surface of the body when walking in it, and this chill is not caused by the forest or smoke, but the bad feeling caused by the dark force of the forest to humans.

Human beings cultivate the Force of Dawn, and dark creatures cultivate the Force of Darkness, the two are mutually incompatible, and once they come into contact, they will be separated from each other.

There is a thin Dark Force in the forest, so people who walk in the forest will be eroded by the Dark Force, but fortunately, the Dark Force is very thin, and everyone present has cultivated the Force, so it is not greatly affected.

The strongest in the hunting squad is the captain Lei Lie, a sixth-level Force. This is followed by Reilly, a fifth-level Force. The strongest of the hunting team are the two brothers, so the other members basically have no say.

Except for the two Lei Leleili brothers, the members of the hunting team are all Force level 3 or Force 4, after all, if the strength is too low, you don't have to be a bounty hunter, otherwise hunting dark creatures is also to deliver food.

Snow Wind's Force Level is level three, and although it is not strong, it will not hold back the hunting team.

As the hunting team gradually deepened, the dark force gradually became stronger, and the members of the hunting team also became nervous, after all, they had to face dark creatures, and if they were not careful, some small lives would be gone.

Suddenly, a man rushed out from behind a large tree on the way of the hunting team, with green fangs and unusually long nails, and rushed towards the hunting team.

Reilly drew the long knife he was carrying, stood in front of the man, and when he was near, he slashed forward, knocking the man to the ground. The man refused to stop after being slashed, and continued to crawl towards the hunting team, until Reilly cut off his head with another knife, and then died completely.

This is a blood slave, it is the lowest level of dark creatures, the product of human beings being bitten by the blood clan through the erosion of the dark force, because this person was originally just an ordinary person, so after becoming a blood slave, his strength is only slightly stronger than ordinary people. As for intelligence, it is no different from a beast. So there is no threat to the hunting team and Yukikaze, but the terrifying face is uncomfortable. Fortunately, whether it is Snow Wind or Bounty Hunters, their work is indispensable to contact with blood slaves, and it is no longer strange.

Continuing to go deeper, more and more blood slaves appeared. Although the strength of these blood slaves is not high, they will still have a lot of impact after being scratched, so other bounty hunters have also begun to clean up the blood slaves, and Xue Feng is just a guide, so he has been watching.

Along the way, the dark force gradually thickened. Half an hour later, the hunting team cleared hundreds of blood slaves, which shows the sheer number of humans persecuted by the dark creatures.

When Lei Lie cut off the head of a blood slave with a single sword, a group of figures appeared from the smoke in front of the hunting team, and walked towards the hunting team, it was a patrol team of the blood clan.

Lei Lie was the most powerful of them all, so he was the first to find out. "Okay, there's a patrol team of the Blood Clan, be careful, try not to use firearms, and hide them now. ”

After saying that, he took the lead in finding a big tree to hide, in order not to arouse the vigilance of dark creatures, the bounty hunters used some cold weapons, as for those high-grade guns with silence, they were not cheap bounty hunters could afford.

The members of the hunting team moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they were all hidden.

After a while, the Blood Clan patrol team came to the place where the battle had been fought before, and the leading Blood Clan captain found the corpse of the underground blood slave, and just as he was about to call the police, Lei Lie flew out and fought with him. Other bounty hunters also appeared in due course to surround the other Bloodlines.

The strength of this Blood Clan patrol team was not strong, and the leading captain was only a fourth-level Force, and he was not Lei Lie's opponent at all, and it didn't take long for them to retreat. The other Bloods were quickly killed and wounded by the hunting team.

"Hmph"

Lei Lie resisted the blow of the blood clan in front of him, quickly approached, the force quickly flowed, and the long knife in his hand emitted a faint light, cutting off the opponent's head with a horizontal slash. After finishing off his opponent, Lei Lie immediately turned around and joined the other members in the fight. Lei Lie's strength was much higher than that of others, and with him joining, the other blood clans had no resistance at all, and it didn't take long for them to be completely wiped out.

The battle began quickly and ended very quickly.

The members of the hunting squad are very experienced, and after the battle, they are in order, cleaning the battlefield and bandaging the wounds.

In the previous battle, the dark creatures killed by the hunting team were all low-level blood slaves, and there was no need to clean up the battlefield without any useful materials on them. The dark creatures that are killed now are all bloodline, and the teeth of the bloodline and the core blood core of the blood clan are extremely valuable, so naturally they cannot be wasted.

Lei Lie sat on the root of a large tree sticking out of the ground, and a member of the hunting team bandaged his wounds. In order to end the battle as soon as possible just now, he resisted the opponent's blow hard, leaving a wound on his left arm, but fortunately, the opponent's strength was far inferior to him, so the wound was not deep and did not affect the combat power.

The opponents of the previous hunting team were all low-level blood slaves, and the bounty hunters cooperated tacitly, so no one was injured. But in this battle, in addition to being injured by Lei Li's hard resistance, three other members were injured. Dark creatures are much more talented than humans, and it's not surprising that they are desperate when they are desperate to inflict damage on the hunting team.

Although it is said that being infected by the Force of dark creatures will turn into blood slaves, but that is only for ordinary people, bounty hunters have the Dawn Force, as long as they use the Dawn Force to destroy the infected Dark Force, it will be fine. Therefore, in order to avoid being attacked by dark creatures and becoming dark creatures, humans will retain a part of the Force in the battle with dark creatures, which makes humans more disadvantageous in battle.

The hunting team moved very quickly and cleaned up the battlefield in a short time.

Lei Lie looked at the pocket containing the blood clan's teeth and blood core in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, the blood clan's knife was not in vain.

"Take a quick break, and in another fifteen minutes we'll move on. "These gains do not make Lei Lie satisfied, and one person does not get much.

When the bounty hunters heard this, they did not object, and sat down on the spot to rest, they were not satisfied with these gains, and no one would spare too many gold coins.
