The sky was gray.

The blood-red sun is like an ornament.

The people on the ground don't feel any warmth.

The world seems quiet and eerie.

Outside Jianghai City.

As far as the eye can see, there are rows of low bungalows.

The road is full of potholes, which makes the word "slum" come to mind.

In a narrow, dark alley, the air was filled with a damp, musty smell, and a boy of about eighteen years old held a dark black boning knife in his hand.

In front of him was a live carp.

An old beggar in ragged clothes, sitting against the wall, holding a broken wine gourd in his hand, would take a sip of the liquor from time to time.

The young man named Wang Xu held his breath.

A drop of red liquid rippled in his brain.

At this moment, the texture on the carp scales was infinitely magnified in his brain.

The internal organs and bones of the carp's body, all of which came to mind clearly.

It's an amazing feeling.

The moment when the carp jumped from the ground again.

Wang Xu's right hand holding the boning knife suddenly poked out.

Time seems to have slowed down.

The light of the knife flickered in the alley.

The old beggar, who had been careless, stopped drinking, and there was a gleam in his cloudy eyes, and a satisfied smile crossed the corner of his mouth that no one else could detect.

Wang Xu stopped.

The carp landed.

He grabbed the fishtail and shook it.

Scales and flesh are scattered, and a perfect pair of bones appears.

No trace of fish flesh adhered to it can be found on the bones.

Wang Xu turned around, his eyes were clear, and there was a kind of perseverance on his face that did not belong to his age.

His clothes were covered in patches, but they were very clean.

"Old man, how is my hand?" The corners of Wang Xu's mouth rose slightly.

The old beggar had long since returned to normal, and he picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth.

After a while, he looked disgusted: "Stinky boy, you are still far away!" ”

"My knife is the one that slayed a dragon."

"You're just a little carp, what's there to be complacent?"

"You've insulted this sword."

Wang Xu looked at the unpretentious boning knife in his hand.

The handle of the knife was wrapped around a circle of black cloth, and the blade was twenty centimeters long.

From the day he learned to slaughter with the old beggar, he listened to the old beggar's teaching, and always carried this boning knife with him no matter when he ate and slept.

Since then, his spirit has been subjected to an inhuman torment.

Every night, his brain was like being gnawed by thousands of ants, and the horror that hurt into the bone marrow made him want to drop the boning knife many times.

It wasn't until five days ago that a drop of red liquid inexplicably appeared in his brain, and the pain of the night was alleviated a lot.

Wang Xu guessed that this boning knife came from an extraordinary background,

But he didn't believe that the old beggar had used this boning knife to slay a dragon.

The old man's greatest hobby is that he likes to brag.

Wang Xu inserted the boning knife into the inferior leather scabbard around his waist.

"The carp jumps over the dragon gate, and the dragon rushes for nine days."

"So the carp is also a dragon species, and I just slaughtered a young dragon."

"This boning knife has indeed slain dragons."

Wang Xu quipped.

The old beggar shook his head and smiled: "Stinky boy, you and I have been learning knife techniques for three years. ”

"When are you going to find a chance to enter the city?"

Wang Xu looked in the direction of the south.

There is a towering protective wall.

You can vaguely see the tall buildings within the walls from afar.

Outside the walls and inside the walls are two worlds entirely.

More than a hundred years ago, the sun in the sky suddenly turned blood red.

Since then, many animals and plants in nature have formed terrible mutations one after another under the illumination of the blood-red sun.

Humans are like fish on a chopping block in front of mutant beasts.

More and more mystical forces are beginning to resurgce around the world.

After the mass death of the human race at the beginning, the living found the ancient method of cultivation.

In addition to causing the animals and plants to mutate, the Blood Sun also filled the heavens and the earth with the aura that was indispensable for martial arts cultivators.

Since the human race entered the era of cultivation, every baby born will be tested for cultivation qualifications.

Wang Xu was judged to be unable to embark on the path of cultivation for the rest of his life.

Every year, he will participate in Jianghai City's free qualification test, and he is always disappointed in the end.

Miracles never happen.

Wang Xu followed the old beggar to learn slaughter, just wanting to take his sister into the city.

He didn't want his frail sister to stay in the slums and suffer.

His wish now is simple.

Stay alive.

Take his sister to live.

In today's cruel and cold world, classification is even more severe. The outside of the city is full of dangers, and people like them die every day, and there are even cannibalistic tragedies.

The Beast Disintegrator is the path he has planned for himself.

Many mutant beasts are full of treasures, and they need a special alien beast decomposer to do their hands in order to deal with all parts of the mutant beast perfectly.

Once a mutant beast dies, a miasma will form inside the corpse.

If not handled properly, it will cause great terror.

Therefore, the Alien Beast Decomposer has a fairly high status in the city.

Even if you can't embark on the path of cultivation!

As long as he can have superb slaughtering methods, Wang Xu believes that he can become a beast decomposer.

Three years ago.

When Wang Xu and the old beggar met.

He saw with his own eyes that the old beggar had broken down the corpse of a mutant beast in three times and five by two.

The mutant beast was the size of a cow.

The old beggar dismantled the mutant beast perfectly.

The skin of the entire mutant beast was not damaged at all, and the tendons were completely removed by him......

That scene is still unforgettable for Wang Xu.

He was sure that the old beggar had once been a beast decomposer.

Wang Xu put away his thoughts: "Old man, what you say seems to be an unfathomable swordsman. ”

"All I learned from you was the art of slaughter."

"I advise you to drink less and not dream in broad daylight."

In fact, Wang Xu respects the old beggar very much in his heart.

It's just that he and the old beggar both like this mode of getting along.

"Tomorrow to continue." The old beggar was not angry at all.

In the past three years.

The old beggar would bring fresh chickens, ducks and fish every day to let Wang Xu practice the deboning knife technique.

It's hard to get meat in the slums.

The old beggar, however, was able to bring fresh livestock every day.

During this period, although Wang Xu was very curious, he didn't ask more.

The old beggar didn't explain much.

After slaughtering the livestock every day, the old beggar would ask Wang Xu to take it back to replenish his sister's body.

Wang Xu packed the meat and bones of the fish on the ground into a plastic bag.

The old beggar's eyes were cloudy, and he asked inarticulately, "Boy, haven't you ever regretted it?" ”

He was drunk, and then said: "That girl is not related to you, you are not related." ”

"You've taken care of her for so many years, and you've done your best."

"Without her dragging, you'll have a lot easier."

Wang Xu's eyes were deep: "The little demon is my only relative." ”

After a pause.

Just as he wanted to ask the old beggar if he wanted to go to his house for dinner.

Suddenly there was a muffled thunder in the sky.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

The dull voice made Wang Xu feel a little uncomfortable, and he raised his head to look at the gray sky.

The sunlight emitted by the blood sun was not dazzling at all.

Not long after.

It's raining.

The raindrops fell on Wang Xu's face, with a slight coolness.

He stretched out his palm and saw that the raindrops falling in his palm were blood-red, and his brow furrowed suddenly.

The last time it rained blood was fifty years ago.

This heralds a catastrophe.

I'm afraid that the outside of the city will soon become a human purgatory, and he must send his sister into the city.

Wang Xu's chest suddenly burned.

A blood-colored jade pendant covered by clothes was now emitting a faint light.

The shape of this blood-colored jade pendant is exactly the same as that of the sun.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

The slums outside the city are in a state of panic.

Many of them have heard of the bloody rain fifty years ago.

Some of them even experienced the horror of the aftermath of the bloody rain, a nightmare they would never forget.

The old beggar looked up at Wang Xu thoughtfully, there was a faint sword aura on his body, and his drunkenness disappeared at this moment.

Clearly visible knife marks were formed on the ground where he was sitting, which was really terrifying!

It's just that Wang Xu, who was in deep thought, didn't notice the old beggar's abnormality at all.

Blood rained.

The noise around him seemed to be unable to reach his ears.

It was as if he was cut off from the world.

this day.

The slums outside the city are terrified.

And Wang Xu clenched his fists and made a decision that changed his life.
