Chapter 4: The Void

In a pitch-black space, Ye Wen looked ahead in a daze, as if he was a little overwhelmed, he seemed to be floating in the void, surrounded by bright stars.

The sense of solidity transmitted under his feet reminded him that he was still in a state of confusion that he was actually standing, not floating, and this contradictory feeling almost made him nervous.

Not only that, in front of Ye Wen, there were also two stone tablets, one of which was faintly visible and a person's shadow was printed on it, and the other was blank.

If you look up and look farther away, you can clearly see a huge eye hanging above the void, as if it has a vast aura comparable to the sun and the moon, Ye Wen can feel that a powerful and ancient power is coming from there.

"Number of talismans: one. Talisman Name: Bear Claw. Talisman Level: Nine Rank ......" An old and desolate voice sounded in his ears, Ye Wen was startled, and hurriedly glanced around, but found nothing, he was the only human being in this dark space.

As the voice fell, the entire pitch-black space suddenly fell silent at this time, only the two stone tablets that exuded the atmosphere of the ancient were standing, and the huge eyes that were suspended in the void and looking down, staring at Ye Wen motionlessly.

With the gradual passage of time, there is still no change in the dark space, Ye Wen has also returned to his normal state of mind, and the fear in his heart has gradually faded, even if he is a child in his fifteens, he has been rolling in the slums since he was a child to survive, and his mind is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In addition to the thought of losing his family can make him lose his mind, even in the face of a catastrophe, he has a strong enough will to bear and face it.

"What kind of place is this?hell?or the legendary [small world]? no, it shouldn't be ......"

Ye Wen muttered to himself, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the stone tablet in front of him with some curiosity, it is useless to be entangled now, it is better to explore the truth from the only things.

"Uh, that's ......."

Ye Wenwang's gaze suddenly froze, as if he saw something strange, and immediately took steps and walked towards the first stone tablet, his pace was slow and cautious, for fear that he would fall down accidentally, and the visual suspension was really inconsistent with the sense of solidity under his feet.

However, when approaching the stele, the figure on the stele seemed to come to life, and it actually walked out directly from the stele, as if it was a dust accumulation and a human figure, and the face was blurred, not so much a puppet, but a human shadow suddenly swelled.

The figure leaned sideways, suddenly raised the gray hand, and at the same time, a silver line shone and flowed in the human body, like a great river, forming a circular route in the body, and the end of the route was the gray hand.

At the same time, with the flow of silver light, next to the mysterious figure, some large golden characters suddenly floated:

[Bear Claw], [Nine Pins].

Looking at the golden characters in front of him, Ye Wen's breathing became a little short, the silver light in this figure, could it be the running route of the Nine Rank Rune [Bear Claw]!?

Doubts rose in Ye Wen's heart, but the Dao power in his body was about to move, almost at the same time, his little hand was also slowly raised, and the bubbling Dao power began to operate, flowing and vibrating in a unique rhythm.

Howl –

A murderous bear howl suddenly sounded, Ye Wen's heart was hot, and the small hand that condensed the huge bear claw pushed suddenly, and the ghost made a god slap at the blank stone tablet next to him.

Bang!

A low voice sounded, the stele did not move, and the blank space of the stele flickered a few times, but a line of golden words appeared:

[Initial pass].

"Talisman Name: Bear Claw. Talisman Grade: Nine Grades. Proficiency: Beginner. The next stage: the essence. The old and desolate voice sounded again, and then fell silent again.

Listening to this old voice, Ye Wen was no longer surprised, but looked at his little hand in a daze, as if it was petrified in an instant.

As time passed, I saw the petrified body trembling slightly, accompanied by a happy smile on the corner of my lips.

A moment later, the space of the stars reverberated with carnival laughter.

......

The morning sun could not dispel the gloom of the slums, and in the hidden alleys, the silence at this time made people panic, as if the breath of slaughter was brewing.

At the end of the alley stood several stout men, with a serpentine pattern embroidered on the chest of their shirts, tall and muscular, cutting off the eyes of passers-by outside the alley.

In the crowd of people who pretended to pass by, there were countless dark eyes, hiding in the shadows and watching here, as if a hungry wolf was watching the injured prey, not out of pure curiosity, but with a little fear.

The target of the fear was not from the big man blocking the entrance of the alley, but from the six or seven people gathered in the middle of the alley.

"Interesting, really funny. ”

The hidden murderous tranquility of the alley was suddenly broken by a deep voice, the sound echoed in the alley, and the low tone but steady reached the ears of everyone present, and even caused some people's faces to change slightly.

Everyone's eyes are focused on this person, this person's face is quite handsome, about twenty years old, even if he is a mediocre green shirt, he can't hide his kind of light that is different from the poor, and he has a calm and unhurried bearing.

"Young helper, this kind of trivial matter, in fact, even if it is left to us to deal with, why did you come to such a dirty place on purpose?"

Just when everyone was silent, a sturdy figure stepped forward, with a look of neither humility nor arrogance, and asked in a low voice. This person also looks about twenty years old, and his appearance is quite ordinary, but against the backdrop of the scar on his face, he even has a slightly hideous feeling.

Looking at the scarred man with a calm attitude in front of him, the young gang leader's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips lifted a meaningful arc, and said: "Lone wolf, the death of a gang disciple with a heavy body is indeed nothing, but it happened at the moment when our Green Snake Gang and the Blood Wolf Gang were preparing to go to war, so we have to be cautious." ”

"Young Gang Master, please rest assured, since I am a lone wolf in charge of the two streets adjacent to the slums, and at the same time supervise the transportation of resources in the slums, everything here is taken care of by me, and it will definitely not affect the expansion plan of the gang leader. ”

Hearing this, a trace of killing intent flashed in the lone wolf's heart, but the eyes on the surface became respectful, and he said in a deep voice. As soon as the lone wolf's words fell, as if to ignite other self-esteem, there was an immediate commotion in the alley expressing determination.

"Yes, young helper, our lone wolf group is not a vegetarian, this little matter is quickly resolved. ”

"That's right, the black bear's skills are not as good as people, and it's not a pity to die, but the issue of the face of the Green Snake Gang will definitely be taken seriously!"

"Don't worry, we will find out the real culprit soon!"

"It's probably the slum rats doing the good thing!"

Hearing this, the young gang leader's gaze slowly swept among the crowd, and the cold eyes directly made the gang members of the lone wolf group close their mouths, and an inexplicable tense atmosphere gradually spread.

After a while, the young gang leader glanced at the body of the black bear lying on the ground, and then looked at the expressionless lone wolf, and suddenly smiled softly, and said, "Then there are the brothers of the Lone Wolf Group." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, and the strong men who blocked the entrance of the alley also respectfully followed behind him and retreated, leaving only everyone in the lone wolf group to look at each other.

"Phew, this young gang leader has the intention to find fault!" one of the lone wolf group suddenly said fiercely, "Boss, what should we do?" He clearly wanted to take the opportunity to reduce the power of the lone wolf group. ”

"Shut up! ”

The lone wolf frowned, and then said: "In any case, the killing of the black bear is related to the reputation of our lone wolf group, and it must be completely resolved, don't fall into the handle, now is an eventful season, and we can't ignore it." ”

"In my opinion, it should be a vendetta, the black bear is rampant in the slums, offending a lot of people, those people themselves have been restless recently, especially after the conflict between our Green Snake Gang and the Blood Wolf Gang, there are many rats who try to fish in troubled waters. Another said.

The lone wolf nodded at first, then shook his head again, looked at the black bear's corpse with a vigilant gaze, and said:

"The person who killed the black bear is not an ordinary rune monk, there is no trace of blood around, and what is even more terrifying is that the black bear has been drained of blood all over his body, the means are extremely cruel, and the hatred is not ordinary, but in my impression, I can't find the information of this kind of rune, at least those rats in the slums definitely don't have this ability!"

In the eyes of everyone's trust, the lone wolf slowly walked back and forth in the alley, and then looked up at the brothers who had followed him for many years, and said coldly: "In any case, the murderer must be found, this matter must be investigated secretly, don't startle the snake, but for now, it is to find a few substitutes for the dead ghosts first!"

"We need to stand up now, not only for the prestige of the Green Snake Gang, but for the reputation of our lone wolf group, and we can't let this matter fall into the prestige of the lone wolf group. As for the real murderer, hmph! Of course we won't let him go, secretly investigate, let him let down his guard, and then catch him in one fell swoop! I want to see who has the guts!"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

"Good. ”

A hideous smile appeared on the lone wolf's face, nodded with satisfaction, turned and walked out of the alley, and just as he was about to leave the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to the back and said:

"Chen Heng, last time you were on the way to the mission, you killed several women, and I wasted a lot of energy to clean up, now is a critical period, if you don't restrain a little bit this time, then ask for more blessings. ”

"Boss, it was just an accident...... one of them laughed in the back, this man had a thin face, lean as a monkey, and a hint of anger was faintly visible between his eyebrows.

This kind of weak-hearted answer became more and more subtle in the cold gaze of the lone wolf, and a stiff smile appeared on Chen Heng's face, only afraid that the boss in front of him, who had a capricious temperament, would attack him because of a bad mood.

"Humph!"

Looking at Chen Heng's frightened expression, the lone wolf's eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted coldly, but his tone began to soothe, and said:

"The women of the deputy gang leader have died several recently, and they are not in a good mood, this time they are looking for a world in the slums, by the way, they copy the house, grab a woman, and they will contribute a few toys to the deputy gang leader, it is said that the deputy gang leader has recently preferred boys and girls, you are an expert in this area, and you are responsible for this matter. ”

"Yes! Wrapped around my Chen Heng, boss, you can definitely rest assured! I will definitely find some high-quality goods!" Hearing this, Chen Heng suddenly burst into ecstasy and hurriedly responded.

"Remember, you can fill your pockets, you can pretend to be a public servant, you can be a fox and a tiger, but you must not provoke forces that should not be provoked, otherwise there will be no one to collect your body for you at that time, because I will personally slaughter you. ”

The lone wolf's eyes were sharp, and his cold tone was extremely serious, which made the fierce Chen Heng also tremble, and he had no doubt about the authenticity of his words, so he would only nod his head again and again in a panic.

"Pack up the corpse and kill!"

The voice fell, and the lone wolf stepped out of the alley, and the distant figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
