"It's time to pay this month's protection fee, five hundred scales. When Bai Cangdong opened the door, he saw a disgusting face that wanted to go up and stomp on it a few times.

"Isn't it two hundred scales?" Bai Cangdong frowned slightly.

"That was before, I'll inform you now, in the future, the monthly protection fee will rise to five hundred scales, and if you want to stay in Daolun City, you will have to pay so much, and if you don't pay, you will get out of Daolun City immediately. The man said impatiently.

Bai Cangdong hesitated, but still handed over five hundred scales, his current strength is not enough to survive outside the city, if he leaves Daolun City and sleeps in the wild, he may be beheaded by the wandering undead in his sleep.

After paying the protection fee, Bai Cangdong was about to go back to the room to continue practicing the sword technique, when he suddenly heard a quarrel next to him.

"Please, I only have 600 life scales, give you 500 scales, I can only wait for death, I will pay 200 first, and the rest will be made up in a few days, you can do well, help me!"

"It's your business to wait for death, five hundred scales can't be missing for a moment, hand over the life scale or get out of Daolun City immediately, you choose. ”

Bai Cangdong followed the voice and looked, the person who had been begging was his neighbor Luo Wen, who had lived next door to his house since Bai Cangdong could remember.

When Bai Cangdong's parents were still there, Luo Wen often came to his house with wine, had a few drinks with Bai Cangdong's father, and it is said that he once helped their family.

No matter how hard Rowan begged, in the end he was still taken away from 500 scales, and only more than 100 scales were left, and Rowan sat on the ground with a dead face

"Uncle Luo, are you okay?" Bai Cangdong went over to help Luo Wen up.

"It's all over, I only have more than 100 scales left, and I don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow. Luo Wen said to Bai Cangdong in frustration: "Adong, work hard, don't be like Uncle Luo, when you were young, you only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and only then did you know the preciousness of life, everything was too late." ”

"Uncle Luo, I still have some scales here, I'll transfer five hundred to you first. Bai Cangdong said, and took the initiative to turn five hundred scales to Luo Wen.

Bai Cangdong's parents said that Rowan had helped their family before, although Bai Cangdong didn't know what was going on, he couldn't watch Rowan wait for death at home like this.

"Adong!" Luo Wen was excited, and his face darkened again after a while: "You better take back the life scale, even if you give it to me, I still have to die after using these life scales." My innate is excellent, and I was born with a life scale of nearly two hundred years, which is almost twice that of ordinary people, so I used to think that I would never run out of it at all, I never practiced well, and I rarely went out to hunt the undead, people have long been abolished, and even the weakest undead have no ability to hunt, and death is only a matter of time before I die. ”

"Uncle Luo, there is still a way, why don't you go hunting the knife demon with me?" Bai Cangdong said.

"It's useless!" Rowan shook his head and went back to his room like a walking corpse.

Bai Cangdong looked at Luo Wen's room, and suddenly had the feeling of looking at the morgue, and his heart shuddered.

"I don't want to be like that no matter what, even if I die, I will die with all my glory. Bai Cangdong returned to his room and practiced the sword technique more carefully, as long as he could fully control the pure white sword and use the pain knife technique, he would go out to hunt the undead.

A few days later, Bai Cangdong was practicing his sword skills hard, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, Luo Wen, with sunken cheeks and black and gray eyes, was standing at the door.

"Adong, I can't do it, I only have a few quarters of an hour left. Rowan's voice was lifeless, and he sounded as if he had given up on the idea of survival.

"I'll give you some more life scales. Bai Cangdong said that he was about to turn his life scale.

"No need. Luo Wen stopped Bai Cangdong and said calmly: "I don't want to live anymore, before I die, I have a few words I want to say to you." ”

After a pause, Luo Wencai continued: "I don't have any relatives and friends, and my popularity is not very good, and if you are willing to listen to me before I die, I should be content." ”

Rowan said a lot of things, most of them were from his past, and he rarely mentioned others, only occasionally heard him mention his parents, and only in a few words.

"I'll give this to you, it's a souvenir. Rowan threw a book to Bai Cangdong and turned away with his tired body in tow.

"Uncle Luo. ”

Bai Cangdong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Luo Wen: "I don't want others to see my ugly state after death, just think about it, even I feel disgusting, don't follow me." ”

Seeing Rowan leave, Bai Cangdong didn't know what it was like in his heart, and this sense of powerlessness made him almost crazy.

"My future must not be like this. Bai Cangdong clenched his fists tightly.

Back in the room, Bai Cangdong was ready to continue practicing the sword technique, he was now able to hold the pure white sword with one hand and use the pain knife technique, but the accuracy and durability were much worse, and further practice was needed.

Holding the book left by Rowan in his hand, he wanted to put it aside, but after thinking about it, he still opened it and looked at it, but he was surprised when he saw it, this was actually an immortal technique called "Bayeux Sutra".

Immortality is the cultivation method of the light and dark martial arts world, the practice of longevity can increase the strength of the body to transform, of course, the main function is to increase the life scale.

It's just that the longevity technique is not for everyone to practice, just because the magic trick is difficult to find, generally only those who have a title have the opportunity to get the longevity technique, but few people among ordinary people have the longevity technique, I didn't expect Luo Wen to have a book of immortality cultivation methods, but I don't know what level of longevity it is.

However, no matter what level of immortality technique, it was a priceless treasure for Bai Cangdong, who had not cultivated immortality.

Greedily put the "Bayeux Sutra" word by word in his mind, according to its method of practice, at the beginning of the feeling of nothing, every day after practicing the knife practice for an hour, only feel the body warm and very comfortable, the body fatigue is also recovered much faster than before.

His strength increased unconsciously, and after another half a month, Bai Cangdong was already able to use the pure white sword to accurately cast the pain knife technique, which could be swung continuously for an hour without interruption.

"It's time to go out and hunt the undead. "Bai Cangdong has been cultivating at home for the past two months, and he doesn't have a single life income, but he has spent a lot.

This time, Bai Cangdong didn't go to hunt the Little Knife Demon, after all, the Little Knife Demon was too sensitive to be killed with a knife technique, and after having a pure white sword and a pain knife technique, Bai Cangdong also wanted to hunt the undead who were easier to obtain the life scale.

"The Head Splitter is a good choice, it's not fast, it looks like a human, it's just right for me to practice the Pain Knife Technique, and I might get an armed Head Splitting Axe. Bai Cangdong thought about the undead around Daolun City, and quickly determined the goal.

Splitters are often found in the jungle, carrying a huge axe that chops off the heads of all creatures they can see.

Because the terrain in the jungle is complex, the head splitter is agile and powerful, and an axe can chop down a large tree the size of a bucket, but the life scale given is not too much, so this is also an undead that few people are willing to hunt.

When Bai Cangdong came to the jungle, he found that there are few people in the jungle usually, but there are many people today.

"Dude, what's going on here, why are there so many people today?" Bai Cangdong grabbed a person who looked more kind-looking and asked.

"The Skullsplitter has risen from the altar, and it haunts the jungles in this area, and many people have come to try their luck, and there are quite a few barons, aren't you here for the Skullsplit?"

"I just came to hunt the Head Splitter, but I didn't expect the Head Splitter to come back to life. "Bai Cangdong has heard of the name of the Skullsplitting Ghost, he is the leader of the Skull-splitting Ghost, killing it will give him a large number of life scales, and it is also possible to get a baron-level skull-splitting axe, which is the favorite of many barons who use long weapons.

"The Skull Splitting Ghost is a baron-level undead clan, and only a baron-level powerhouse can deal with it, why are there so many ordinary people?" Bai Cangdong found that many people were ordinary people without titles.

The man said: "Kill a baron-level undead, you can have the title of baron, although the skull-splitting ghost is fierce, but it is also relatively fragile, unlike the giant rock demon, it is almost impossible to be killed by ordinary people, naturally there are many people who want to get the title to try their luck." ”

Only then did Bai Cangdong remember that if he killed an undead clan with a certain title, he could get the corresponding title, and if he wanted to obtain the baronial title, he must also kill a baron-level undead clan with his own hands.

"The Skull Splitter is really a good choice, but unfortunately there are too many people competing, so many people grab a Skull Splitter, and there are many barons among them, it is too difficult to be the last person to kill the Skull Splitter. Bai Cangdong gave up the idea of snatching the skull-splitting ghost with those people, and was ready to hunt the ordinary head-splitting ghost, and practice the pain knife technique by the way.

In order to avoid trouble, Bai Cangdong found a mask made of white iron and put it on his face, so that even if he was recognized as a pure white knight's two-handed sword, he didn't know who got it, so naturally he couldn't come to him for trouble.

Everyone is looking for the skull-splitting ghosts, and most of the splitters choose to avoid them, and only those barons will directly kill the split-head ghosts they encounter, so Bai Cangdong still found a split-head ghost wandering in the jungle relatively easily.

Because he has been hunting the knife demon all along, Bai Cangdong's understanding of the splitting ghost is limited to what he has heard, and now when he looks at it carefully, he finds that the appearance of the splitting ghost is still very different from that of humans.
