Chapter 60: Just stab me in the back! (Please read more!)
As the kill prompt popped up, Luo Xiu withdrew the dagger from the corpse.
The dagger he used was the "black steel dagger" purchased from the Bahrain Blacksmith Shop in Dawn Town.
Before leaving Dawn Town, he bought a few more "black steel daggers" from Old Balin as spares, and two of them were "engraved with glory" and "engraved with abyss" respectively.
The one in his hand is the "Naked Dagger" created by "Abyss Engraving"!

[Necrotic Blade (Passive Trigger): When attacking, in addition to causing 100% of the basic damage, it also adds 20% of the basic damage as "Nasal" attribute damage. 】
【……】
This is equivalent to a weapon with unconditional backstab and a normal "eclipse" enchantment effect.
He still strictly follows the "assassin's" infiltration rules and kills with one blow with a light weapon, so as not to cause too much noise.
He then crouched down, took off the cloak from the blood slave whose neck he had wiped before, and put it on himself.
Although there is some blood, it doesn't hurt. After all, "bloody" is the norm for this group of cultists.
He gently pulled down his cloak, just enough to cover his face, and then continued walking deeper into the shadows.
…
When Luo Xiu truly entered the "Blood of Thorns" outpost, he saw the real purgatory on earth.
It was a completely different scene from the slums outside.
Passing through this dark and deep "entrance", what Luo Xiu immediately saw was a furnace-like scene like an abandoned factory.
However, this place does not appear desolate and dilapidated. Instead, it is filled with a mysterious, terrifying, and extremely bloody atmosphere.
The cyan moonlight cannot shine into this place. The only light source here is the huge blood pool emitting deep scarlet light in the center.
This caused the entire space to be covered with a faint scarlet color, like a thin and hazy blood-stained gauze mist.
And just above the blood pool, under the ceiling.
Various corpses were hanging one after another with tough nooses.
Instead of strangulation by hanging their necks, they tied their feet with nooses and hung them head-down directly above the pool of blood.
Their necks were cut open, and blood gurgled down their throats and gathered in the huge pool of blood below.
This reminded Luo Xiu of the scene in his previous life where butchers bled their animals before slaughtering them.
"..."
Luo Xiu felt nauseated inexplicably.
Although he had expected such a sight, he still felt sick every time he saw it.
For the "Blood of Thorns" cultists who believe in [Red Lotus], from "blood slaves" to "blood disciples" and finally to the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" level, "blood" is their most scarce resource.
Luo Xiu simply stopped looking at the tragedy hanging above his head.
He went deeper.
…
When you pass through a heavy door and walk down the downward spiral stone staircase, you enter the underground of the "Eighth Slum".
Luo Xiu's vision finally became much clearer.
The location where he was at this time was the beginning of a deep corridor.
This place is already the domain of the "transcendents" belonging to the "Blood of Thorns" and belongs to the category of forbidden land. In Luo Xiu's memory, if you go deeper, you should encounter at least two blood disciples with the second level of [Red Lotus].
Although with Luo Xiu's current strength, he no longer fears any transcendent of the same level in frontal combat.
But before actually meeting the boss of the level, "The Body Destroyer", Luo Xiu habitually remained cautious.
He reached out again to pull down the cloak, and then walked deeper into the room with gentle steps.
…
Luo Xiu soon saw the first figure in the forbidden area.
Through "detection", we learned that it was a blood disciple with the second level of [Red Lotus], level lv.18, and the name was too long, so Luo Xiu couldn't be bothered to remember it.
This blood disciple was currently lying on the ground, performing strange rituals like praying.
"Lord...Lord...please give me the blood of eternal life..."
He muttered vague words, but did not notice the uninvited guest behind him.
Luo Xiu clenched the dagger and slowly approached the blood disciple's back without making any sound.
When he was only one body away from the blood disciple, Luo Xiu suddenly thrust forward with the dagger in his hand!
——Poof! Luo Xiu aimed a blow at the heart, directly piercing the blood disciple's chest!
The blood disciple's strange chant was interrupted. He turned around suddenly and saw a figure wearing a cloak of blood.
"...You, ahem, why did you betray!"
He asked sternly, and strange spiritual fluctuations began to emit from his body!
The single damage that the "Eclipse Dagger" can inflict is not very high. Even with various buffs, it only reduces the blood volume of the vampire by more than half!
Sensing the strange fluctuations emanating from the blood disciple, Luo Xiu's figure suddenly disappeared again!
The next moment, Luo Xiu appeared behind the blood disciple.
——Hunting pace!
The "Dagger of Darkness" in his hand once again penetrated the blood disciple's back.
[Vital attack, causing 104 points of actual damage! 】
"——Hit my righteous backstab!"
This stab in the back completely reduced the blood volume of this blood disciple to zero. With an unbelievable look of resentment in his eyes, his body fell limply to one side.
When the prompt that the kill was completed popped up, Luo Xiu moved the body aside and continued to go deeper.
During this period, Luo Xiu met several other blood slaves who were "attendants".
They were not wary of Luo Xiu who was wearing a blood-stained cloak, so without exception, they were all wiped out by Luo Xiu.
…
Until Luo Xiu reached the end of the corridor, the second downward spiral staircase appeared in front of him.
According to Luo Xiu's memory, going forward is the deepest part of the underground forbidden area.
He then waited for the cooldown time of "Hunting Pace" to be full before continuing to go deeper.
When he reached the bottom, his vision broadened again.
Another pool of blood appeared in front of him, but it was even bigger.
Above the blood pool, there were more and denser corpses hanging upside down.
Luo Xiu vaguely saw a huge and bloated figure soaking in the middle of the blood pool.
But from Luo Xiu's current position, he couldn't detect the figure yet, and he needed to get closer.
Just as Luo Xiu lowered his cloak and prepared to blend in head-on.
From the corner in front of his field of vision, another figure wearing a crimson cloak suddenly passed by.
"..."
The crimson cloak raised his head and glanced at Luo Xiu, who was wearing a black cloak, and his face turned cold.
"...The noble Lord Samuel is taking a bath."
"——How come you, a despicable blood slave, are here?!"
No need to wait any longer, Miaomiao, I will publish each chapter one by one
