The wicked desert, the scorching sun hangs high.

The undulating sand dunes stretching to the horizon shimmer golden in the sunlight.

Even though it's still spring, the temperature here is scorching, and every grain of sand and dust seems to glisten in the harsh sun.

As far as the eye can see, the endless golden desert stretches all the way to the sky.

It seems to be one with the sky.

Dressed in a sand-proof suit, wearing a hat for the sun, carrying a long knife that had been recast by a blacksmith, and a wooden box, Lin Yan climbed over a sand dune again, and finally saw a desert town in this endless desert.

A sultry and dry wave of air blew in the fine sand and hit Lin Yan's body and face.

He ignored them.

Just looking into the distance.

In the heat wave, the walls of the yellow-cessed houses were eroded by the wind and sand, and the half-closed and half-open doors and windows had a sense of desolation.

Several vultures hovered in the sky.

Their cries echoed over the town, adding to the horror.

"There are five towns in the Desert of the Wicked, but the wicked who are rewarded with high bounties do not appear in the towns very often, but instead live in certain parts of the desert and only show up in the towns when they need food and drink.

"If you want to find them, the inns and taverns in the town are the easiest places to get a reward."

Lin Yan thought back to the experiences that Chen Zhong and Zhou Deming had told him.

"Let's go check it out first."

After muttering, Lin Yan continued to walk in the direction of the town.

Along the way.

From time to time, you can see some dry bones half-hidden in the yellow sand in the desert.

Some of them were covered with tattered clothes over their dry bones.

The closer it is to the town.

The more dry bones there are.

And that's just what the eye can see.

No one knows how many similar dry bones are buried in the depths.

Stepping into the town, the sand buildings in the town look a little dilapidated, and the scorching heat makes the whole town seem lifeless, but there are many people on the streets of the town with yellow sand.

Especially in an inn.

The sound of punching, laughter and scolding, came from time to time.

I saw Lin Yan walk into the inn.

Countless pairs of fierce eyes swept over one after another, as if they were going to pierce Lin Yan.

In this extreme environment, everyone will maintain absolute vigilance in order to survive, and their ferocity and scrutiny are their struggle for fate.

It is also a means for them to ensure that they can continue to live.

Lin Yan completely ignored these people.

Go straight to a table where no one is and sit down, put the wooden box next to it, take off the hat and put it next to the corner of the table, and at the same time untie the long knife on his back and place it on the table casually.

Then he unhurriedly unfastened the water bag from his waist and took a sip.

Lin Yan has already put the five-colored anti-poison beads into the water bag, and the water in it also has a powerful detoxification effect, even if this wine and dish is poisonous, it will be fine.

As long as he takes a sip every once in a while.

can keep all poisons inviolable.

Even if the air is poisonous, it's fine.

At this moment, a bewitching woman in a red dress walked over.

"Hey, what does this guest want to do?"

Lin Yan didn't pay attention to it at all, just took out the portrait of the bounty from his arms and put it on the table to look at it one by one, comparing it with the people in the inn lobby one by one.

Such a move made everyone in the lobby look dark.

"Knife catcher?"

"Humph! How bold are you, just you, and you want to arrest people here? ”

Knife catcher!

In ancient dynasties, it refers to a person who does things for others.

In particular, it refers to a person who uses a bounty portrait to catch a murderer and do things for the imperial court, but does not have a formal position, which is a very dangerous profession.

Dead, there is no pension yet.

Lin Yan didn't wear a flying fish suit, so the people present naturally regarded him as a knife catcher.

Whether it's a knife catcher or not.

Jinyi Wei is also.

Or the people of the yamen, the people of the six gates, the people of the east factory and the west factory.

None are welcome here.

The proprietress in a red dress stepped back with a smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth outlined a smile.

"Giggle...... There are strange things every year, and this year is especially numerous. As a knife catcher, it is the first time I have seen it to sit here and slowly compare with the portrait. ”

In the blink of an eye.

A group of fierce villains in the lobby had already surrounded Lin Yan, looking like they were eager to eat Lin Yansheng.

But Lin Yan was still looking at the portrait calmly.

"This one...... Not like.

"It's not like ...... either. This one, a little bit, but still doesn't look like a ...... Hey, this one, hehe, it seems to be you, my luck is really good, I met one worth a thousand taels as soon as I came. ”

Lin Yan drew out one of the portraits with a reward of 1,000 taels.

The person in this portrait resembles a man who is drinking at a table not far away.

Seeing Lin Yan's gaze, he looked over.

The big man snorted coldly.

The wine bowl in his hand was put on the table, and with a bang, the table directly cracked and shook.

The powerful innate true qi made his clothes agitate and fly.

The fierce people around him suddenly all laughed.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that this knife catcher has a sick brain, and as soon as he came, he picked up the blood butcher, and the knife catcher and the court lackeys who died in his hands were eighty if not a hundred, right?"

"Seeing that he is so young, he is estimated to become a knife catcher."

"Tut-tut, how old is this, can't you think about it?"

"Hehe, the vultures outside can have extra food today."

"No, no, no, I don't think the same as you, I think this knife catcher is a bit crazy!"

The Blood Butcher stood up with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Boy, dare to go to the wicked desert to catch Lao Tzu's knife catcher, although you are not the first, but you are the one who makes Lao Tzu the most unhappy. I'll screw ...... later."

Call......

Don't wait for the Blood Butcher to finish.

Lin Yan's figure flickered.

Moment!

He had already appeared behind the Blood Butcher, maintaining a slashing motion.

This scene is so fast!

Almost everyone in the lobby didn't react.

It's over.

【Ding! Kill the Innate Blood Butcher and gain 2 martial arts points; As the general banner of the Jinyi Guard, it adds an additional 4 martial arts points. 】

Boom!

Lin Yan put the knife back into the sheath.

Turning and walking over, he took the head of the Blood Butcher with his right hand, leaving only a corpse of blood gushing out of the ground and lying limply on the ground.

The whole inn was surprisingly quiet.

Despite the heat outside.

But the lobby of this inn seems to be shrouded in an ice cellar, revealing a slight chill.

The people who laughed the most before were the ones who laughed the most.

Now it's even more silent.

Even the throat rolls, swallowing dry, trying to make the hot throat more comfortable.

After Lin Yan sat down, he casually sprinkled some embalming powder, and put the head of the Blood Butcher into the box next to him, and his eyes swept around.

but to those who are touched by his gaze.

All of them looked nervous.

Many people have quietly put their hands on the blades they carry with them.

Be ready to give it a go.
