Chapter 3: The Lion Who Walks into the Trap
Beidou Forest, at the foot of Tianxuan Peak.
Under the woods, some wild beast is foraging.
Sou! Syllable!
Suddenly, a black figure jumped down from a tree not far away, and in the process of falling, he pulled out a dagger from the cloth on his leg, kicked it violently on the ground, and jumped up again, stabbing it with all his strength according to the neck of the prey, and at the same time whispered in his mouth.
"Die!"
Click!
The entire blade of the dagger sank into the neck of the prey, and the prey fell down in response, and the prey did not struggle in the slightest during the whole process, just because everything happened between the lightning and flint, too suddenly.
The shadow slowly stood up, covering the camouflage hood that covered his head, and pulled out the dagger that haunted the neck of his prey. When the dagger came out, a large amount of blood continued to gush out, and the black shadow dodged to dodge the blood mist that spewed out, and only then began to pack up the prey when the blood mist dissipated.
This black shadow is a seasoned adventurer, its movements are skillful and fast, and his actions are agile, and at first glance it is the action that has been cultivated and trained after many hunts, and there is absolutely no sloppiness and timidity, and he will kill the prey as soon as he strikes, and it can really be said that the killing is decisive.
It was already noon, and despite the efforts of the sun today, only a little sparse sunlight could barely shine through the leaves into the trees and onto the ground.
A little bit of light shone in the hunter's hood, adding a bit of light to the shadow, and the light could be seen clearly, the face under the hood.
Under the hood showed his immature face, which did not show the timidity of the dense forest, but with a kind of caution, and there was a tenacity that did not match his physical age, and a pair of strange red and blue eyes, in the sunlight, actually looked shining.
It's hard to imagine that this young man who looks immature is actually an adventurer who dares to fight with the fierce source beast and lick the blood on the tip of the knife, this very young face, but it reveals a look that he does not have at this age, integrating all the elements in his body together, obviously feeling a little weird, but there is no sense of disobedience, it only makes people feel that this young man is full of energy!
Brush! Brush!
The young man raised his knife and fell, without the slightest drag of mud and water, and the claws of the prey were removed from his limbs. He untied the backpack behind him, took out a cold jade box that was delivered to him with the order, opened the cold jade box, slowly put away the claws of the prey, and said in awe.
"I'm here to survive, although it's selfish and hypocritical to say that..."
The young man laughed at himself as he carefully put the claws of his prey into the cold jade box and put them away. The boy opened his backpack and wanted to put away the cold jade box. Just as the cold jade box was being filled, a scroll fell out of the bag, attracting the boy's attention.
The boy didn't immediately get up to pick it up, but put the other items in order, and then got up and walked to the falling scroll.
"Huh? Is it really that coincidental? ”
Leaning over to pick it up, the boy found that the scroll was the next commission he was about to complete.
That malicious commission.
"Huh, come to think of it, except for this commission, everything else is basically completed."
The young man exhaled, first took the scroll with the commission written on it to his waist, took off his hat, and the young man's face that had been hidden under the hat was revealed, and his eyes revealed that he was at a young age.
"Coupled with this problematic hundred yuan, I can finally repay the kindness of Sister Yu's family a little."
In the first few days of this adventure, the boy could be said to be scared, he would not believe that the school had really just handed him an extremely simple, but high-priced commission, and the group of people who followed him into the forest confirmed his idea even more, so in the past few days, he has been trying to restrain his whereabouts as much as possible, and the hat on his cloak has always been worn, and he is also vigilant when he sleeps and rests.
After the boy took off the hat of his cloak, the whole person felt a little richer in color, and he put the problematic commission around his waist.
"Then, go and see if you want me to die or let me live."
In the past few days, the boy has been on the lookout for sneak attacks that may come to him or behind him, but after a few days, he found that he seemed to be quite lucky, and the attack did not come once, or it could be that the people over there did not want to spend weeks looking for him everywhere, and wanted to wait for him to find them by himself.
"It seems that the place where the group of people did it is where this order is written, Tianxuan's side......"
The boy opened the extremely suspicious scroll again, looked at it carefully, laughed softly, and continued.
"But fortunately, they are not in a hurry, and I can successfully complete the other commissions this time."
The boy smiled and continued to pack his backpack, smiling again as he cleaned up, not forgetting to check if there were any things left around.
"A hundred dollars, that's so tempting. Thy masters may have bad intentions, what do you say I should do? They need to be let go, after all...... They paid me. ”
The boy muttered with the order in his hand.
Although he said this, the corners of his mouth still pursed an intriguing smile, and the hand that packed the schoolbag did not stop for a moment, while teasing.
"Of course, this hundred yuan, I'm afraid it won't be safe in my hands, it's a pity."
After the boy packed up, he put the bag on his back, clapped his hands, brushed the dust off his buttocks, and quickly got up, and then took out the previous order again.
"Anyway, now that my commission is done, it's time to go back and see those two people, or their ambush will fail. Well, well, it's not easy to make a difference. ”
I have to say that as an adventurer who often goes in and out of the land of death, he should be tenacious and silent, but the teenager often speaks stand-up comedy when no one is around, which is really a rare thing, but then again, if these happened to a boy who was nearly fourteen years old, it would not seem so abrupt.
As the young man was talking, he suddenly stopped, raised his eyes and looked around, and once again made sure that there was really no one around, and then he exhaled a long breath.
"Alas, when I first entered the forest, I used it to give myself courage, but it unconsciously formed a habit. But luckily no one saw it, otherwise I would have found a hole in the ground and got in. ”
The boy scratched his head embarrassedly, put away the scroll, took out the map and compared it, confirmed the direction to Tianxuan, and then put away the map and rushed out on tiptoe.
In a few leaps, he left the woods. At this time, the predator, who had been hiding in the dark and had long been yearning for the stumps of the prey beside the boy, saw that the boy had gone away, so he rushed up and ate the remaining corpses. During the period, there was no shortage of scrambles, and then there were big fights, and for a while, I felt that the blood stains on the ground were a little more, and the smell of blood in this forest was inadvertently a little stronger.
"That rude one, I've encountered it before, and my ability is not high, well, the previous cultivation was about between the fourth and fifth stages, but it was easy to deal with. However, the other one is in a hurry, my perception of his cultivation is extremely vague, and it is conservatively estimated that it should be about a level different from me. ”
The boy was hurrying non-stop, recalling and analyzing that the two people who followed him into the forest were also the opponents who might kill him this time.
"My own strength already has the power of ten stages of training, and I only need to condense the cyclone to advance to the condensing mirror. In terms of strength, as long as you are not a real condensation mirror powerhouse, you still have the strength to fight. But if the other party can even invite the real spirit realm...... Then the mastermind behind the scenes really paid a lot of money to deal with me. ”
The boy subconsciously touched his nose and frowned. The boy suddenly had an idea, what if what he thought came true?
Yes, in the world of source energy, everything is respected by strength. From the Gathering Source Realm, the Condensation Realm, the Spirit Realm, the Luck Realm, the Primal Formation Realm, the Condensation Yuan Realm, the Kaiyuan Realm, the Spirit Wheel Realm, the Imperial Spirit Realm, the Domain Realm, and the Melting Heaven Realm, to the Nirvana Realm, the Transformation Sky Realm, and the Turning Sky Realm, until the Yuanzun Realm (Triple Stage: Yuyuan Zun, Lingyuan Zun, Tianyuan Zun), Tianyuan Saint (Semi-Saint) Saint Sky Realm, as for the legendary Emperor Realm, it is said that there has not been another one for nearly 10,000 years.
"If so, then you can really look up to me. Well, it's almost there, and that's where the commission went. ”
The young man smiled bitterly, at this time, it was almost time to write on the commission, and he didn't forget to tease himself at this time.
"Anyway, I ran away, is it all over? Hey, how is that possible, it's better to let them do it here than to let them do it in the city. ”
The boy slowed his pace slightly, his movements slowing down, and he poked his head out from behind a sturdy tree, carefully observing his surroundings.
"I want to come to this commission, let me come to the waterfall of Tianxuan Peak. Normally, with the power of the eighth-stage high-level source, I can go deep into the outer forests of Tianxuan Peak, and it is not difficult to reach here, so the strength of the two people who came to ambush me should not be much higher. ”
The young man looked around carefully, and when he saw that there was no one, he felt relaxed, and secretly said in his heart, "It's really slow, come quickly, I'll solve it a few times and go back to Yaoguang City." ”
After waiting for a while, the young man saw that there was still no one to come, and he secretly felt bad in his heart.
"It's not right, I'm going to complete the mission, there must be a delay on the trip, they should have already arrived, why are all the signs here that they haven't arrived yet?"
The boy muttered quietly, and suddenly felt that he had finally discovered the details that he hadn't noticed before, and it was impossible for those two people to have not arrived, but they could only be ambushed in some dark place.
The boy picked up a small pebble and shot it into the woods in front of him, but he didn't know what it hit, and made a slight snapping sound.
Trample! Trample! Trample!
Sure enough, after a while, the young man heard the subtle sneaking sound in the dark place, and there were two sneaking sounds, looking at these two positions, they just surrounded the direction of the sound of the small stone just now.
"Go up the tree first, hide in the dark and see the situation clearly."
One of the voices was in front of him, separated by a few trees, and the young man's heart tightened, and he suddenly felt very happy, because this lurking sound came from two directions, and if he had just recklessly walked in directly, he felt that he was surrounded now.
The boy gently untied his backpack and hid it in a deep pit in the ground beside him, covered with thin soil and leaves.
Most of these deep pits are traps left by previous hunters and other adventurers, most of which have been activated or damaged, and are good for hiding things.
After hiding his backpack, the boy took a deep breath, then quickly stood up, his feet touched the ground, and the whole person rushed upward.
The young man grabbed a thicker branch with one hand, and with the help of a flip, the whole person was thrown to a higher place, and unexpectedly, when he exerted his strength, the seemingly thick branch actually made a slight breaking sound.
Click!
"Not good! To be discovered. ”
The young man secretly said that it was not good, but his figure was not panicked at all, and he quickly climbed up the tree.
"Who? Who's there, come out! ”
The person who was listed as the focus of the young man at the beginning was very keenly aware of the subtle sound, and frowned and shouted.
Brush!
The boy had tried his best to control himself, in order not to make a sound, although it was a little unsatisfactory, but the sound he made was really subtle, and it dissipated very quickly, if it wasn't for someone who had a heart, he wouldn't have noticed it at all, but he still easily found it, and with the man's shout, a flying knife flew out with a flick of his hand.
For!
The knife flew into the wood, making a dull sound, causing the young man to look down at the knife, and his brows finally wrinkled.
"It's such a keen perception, it seems that his strength is not far from mine......"
