Chapter 17: Cheating Victims
Zhou Ming didn't intend to be a bad person, but the other party launched a sneak attack on him with the determination to seriously injure or even kill him, and Zhou Ming was already very merciful if he didn't hurt him.
"Ah, what's ......" Until Zhou Ming threatened him to hand over the counting card, the mercenary apprentice couldn't react from Zhou Ming's weird retreat and advance, "Shao, Shaoxia spare your life! I, I only have, a counting card, all for you, please don't kill me." ”
As he spoke, the mercenary apprentice trembled and took out a counting card with both hands and presented it to Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming was unmoved:
"Give me the space hedron. ”
"Uh, that...... Young man, I ......" The mercenary apprentice's movements suddenly became uneasy.
"My knife is on your neck right now, and I don't want to say it a second time. Zhou Ming's tone was suddenly cold, and the double knives also pressed a little more inward.
"Yes, yes, the hunter spares his life. The mercenary apprentice reluctantly gave the space spar to Zhou Ming, because without recognizing the master, anyone could probe what was stored in the space spar.
Holding the space spar, Zhou Ming felt like he was holding a small space, and he wanted to take out and put in whatever he wanted. Of course, Zhou Ming was not concerned about the freshwater dry food and herbs stored in the space spar, but the counting card lying quietly in the corner.
"They were all knives on their necks and tried to lie to me. Zhou Ming snorted coldly and put the two counting cards into his own space crystal, "Hurry up, don't let me see you again." ”
"Yes, yes......" The mercenary apprentice hurriedly fled from Zhou Ming's sight as if he had been pardoned.
"Whew. Zhou Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, he had seen a lot of fierce beasts, but it was the first time for him to face a human sword, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous at all, but fortunately, the tricky moon body method made another meritorious service, and the other party stole chickens and rice, but let Zhou Ming earn two counting cards.
Zhou Ming didn't dare to stay where he was, if the mercenary apprentice had a companion, then it would become very dangerous if he exposed his whereabouts again, but fortunately, in terms of covering his whereabouts, the hunters were also not lost to the mercenaries, and soon, Zhou Ming disappeared into this abandoned old city.
After making sure that he was far enough away, while it was not yet dark, Zhou Ming chose an old house as his temporary residence for this night, this house was quite complete and was not too seriously damaged, but what made Zhou Ming finally decide was that this house has two floors, not that Zhou Ming wants to experience the life of a luxurious double-storey building, but this spiraling staircase can provide a huge guarantee for Zhou Ming's safety, the beast doesn't like to climb the stairs very much, even if there is really a lion-headed dog coming up, this roundabout design can also buy a certain amount of time for Zhou Ming to escape from the window to the house on the other side, sometimesIt is this point that time can determine life and death.
After eating dry food, a dark line tied with a small bell was arranged at the staircase and the door as an alarm, Zhou Ming went to bed early, and on the first day, Zhou Ming got a total of five worth of counting cards.
The hunters always rested from sunrise to sunset, and the next day, as soon as it was dawn, Zhou Ming had already cleaned the room (to cover his whereabouts) and set off to start his second day of hunting.
Zhou Ming was still going deep into the center of the abandoned city, and in the morning, Zhou Ming obtained three one-point counting cards by single-handedly picking up the lion-headed dogs, and Zhou Ming finally began to see groups of small lion-headed dogs, and on the necks of these lion-headed dogs, Zhou Ming saw two-point counting cards.
However, Zhou Ming was not confident enough to rush over and cut down three lion-headed dogs alone, so although such three lion-headed dogs could bring him a return that exceeded his one-day income yesterday, Zhou Ming still chose to take a detour.
By noon, Zhou Ming had already begun to avoid some medium-sized lion-headed dogs of about ten, and most of the counting cards carried by the leaders of these lion-headed dogs were between fifteen and twenty-five points, and some of the strong lion-headed dogs also had counting cards ranging from five to eight points around their necks, and even the lion-headed dogs of the ordinary member level also had counting cards of more than three points.
Of course, Zhou Ming couldn't afford to provoke such a large group of lion-headed dogs, but soon, he changed his mind again.
......
The reason for the change of mind was an experience in the afternoon, Zhou Ming was still looking for a lone lion-headed dog in the ruins, and the risk of going deeper and deeper was increasing, so even the lions-headed dogs who acted alone were wearing two-point counting cards, Zhou Ming was ready to start looking for a safe place for him to rest this night after earning two counting cards with a total of four points, at this moment, a murmur mixed with the wind in his ears caught his attention, although this murmur was almost inaudible, but Zhou Ming still captured some information from it: not far to the west, there was the barking of a lion-headed dog, and the sound of gold and stone made by the blade slashing on a hard object, and a dull blunt blow.
"At least two people were hunting a lion-headed dog. No, if you cooperate temporarily, one of the two people will always be slightly stronger than the other, if the score is evenly divided, the hunter who is slightly stronger will feel unfair, if you give more points to the powerful hunter, then the stronger one will not be greedy - I am stronger than you, why don't I threaten you or even kill you directly so that all the counting cards you have are included in my own space crystal?
Out of curiosity, Zhou Ming hid his figure and leaned over to the place where the sound came from on the west side, and soon, Zhou Ming, who was hiding in a hidden place, saw the three hunters who had just finished hunting. Two of the hunters were still stained with the blood of the dead lion-headed dogs, while the third hunter was spotlessly clean.
"Young master, this is a two-point counting card. One of them, the hunter with the long knife, handed the count card in his hand to the well-dressed hunter.
"Good, next. Seeing the blood on the counting card that had not yet dried up, the well-dressed hunter picked up the bloodless corner of the counting card with two fingers in disgust, and then quickly put it into the space crystal.
"Young master, I won't tell you anything, our two brothers are already very tired today, and if we continue to hunt, maybe, there will be danger. The hunter dragging the hammer hesitated for a moment, looked at the approaching dusk, and spoke.
"What, tired? How much did we earn today?" "Only ten!" said the brightly dressed hunter angrily, "Where can I pay back so much money for your family? Young Master Ben didn't let you come here to shout that I was tired, Young Master Ben is not tired, how can you two rest?" Next!"
"But, young master, if the two of us are injured, the efficiency of hunting in the next few days will be greatly reduced. "The one of the two brothers with a hammer was clearly exhausted, and it did take a lot of effort to wield a heavy blunt weapon like a hammer, and fighting for a day on end was really too much for an apprentice hunter.
"Young master, let's take a break for the two of us, and then continue after a twenty-minute break. The one with the long knife also helped to intercede.
"Think about your family, if I don't pass the test, do you think they will be better?
After speaking, the "young master" strode forward, and the two brothers glanced at each other, and both saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes, but they were forced by life, so they had to drag a hammer and a long knife to chase after them.
This next week Ming understands that the two brothers' families are afraid that they owe a huge amount of money, and at this time, the "young master" appeared and helped the two brothers' families to pay off the arrears, but the condition is that the two brothers will hand over all the counting cards to him in the assessment, and the two brothers can also protect his safety, which can be said to have both thugs and bodyguards.
Of course, this "young master" is not worried that these two brothers will harm him in turn, he has already reminded these two brothers that in case he is injured or killed in this assessment, then with the power of his family, it is too easy to take revenge on the family and friends of the two brothers, which is also the reason why the two brothers are unwilling but helpless in the end.
"It turns out that there are still such people......" Zhou Ming was silent, with his strength, of course, he was the top among the hunter apprentices, but if there were a few more people who counted the scores of two or three people together as a person's final score, it would be absolutely impossible for Zhou Ming to pass the assessment by hunting one by one like now.
"We have to find a way to take action at the lion-headed dogs. Having determined the goal, Zhou Ming quickly began to prepare his hunting plan, but no matter how ingenious the strategy Zhou Ming used, once faced with more than three lion-headed dogs, the hard gap in strength would make all arrangements useless, and this problem troubled Zhou Ming for a long time, until he found a safe house that could be used to sleep overnight......
"Sleep! That's it!" Zhou Ming was taken aback, because he remembered one of the lion's weaknesses: in order to ensure the strength of the head and the ability to resist blows, the lion-headed dog sacrificed the originally powerful five senses of canine creatures.
"Maybe I can try it once, the decapitation operation. ”
