Chapter 173 Hunting Black Fang (6k4)
About half an hour later, the law enforcer walked out of the door of the "Treasure House of Rings" again.
"All the items listed in the legal document have been sorted out."
The law enforcer said to Luo Xiu, "According to Lord Landauer's instructions, you can choose and take away part of it yourself, and we will organize soldiers to escort the rest to the church in Sina City."
"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
The law enforcer turned sideways, made a "please" gesture for Luo Xiu, and then walked in front, leading Luo Xiu into the "Treasure House of Precepts".
Crossing the threshold of the ocher door, Luo Xiu entered the "Treasure House of Precepts".
All the organized materials were placed on the ground in the treasure house courtyard according to categories, and the entrances to each storage area used for storage were sealed by barriers. Luo Xiu, as an "outsider", could not pass freely.
So he stopped looking around, walked to the organized supplies, and selected the parts he wanted to carry with him.
——3 pieces of "master" quality extraordinary equipment, 5 third- and fourth-level spiritual crystals, 20 bottles of high-level potions and 100 platinum coins... After selecting these, Luo Xiu stored them all in his bracelet and said to Shili. The law enforcement officer standing by said: "Okay, please send someone to transport the remaining parts to Sina City."
"Do you have a blank piece of paper? I'm going to write a statement to the church."
"..."
"Yes." The law enforcer nodded and said, "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, the law enforcer retreated to the other side of the storage warehouse and disappeared into the barrier.
After waiting for a moment, his figure appeared again, holding two blank pages of golden paper and an ink pen decorated with gold ornaments in his hand.
Luo Xiu took the pen, wrote down a rough explanation, and then handed them all back to the law enforcer and said, "Send the covering letter. Our bishops and priests will understand what I mean."
"Okay." The law enforcement officer nodded, "We will carry out the execution."
…
Luo Xiu felt very comfortable after leaving the Ring Treasure House with the selected "subsidy".
New equipment, spiritual crystals and potions... This instantly gave Luo Xiu a lot more tools to use in battle, giving him a full sense of security.
It was already afternoon, so Luo Xiu turned to an uninhabited alley and "used" the third-level and fourth-level spiritual crystals first, so that his "skill" and "skill" slots were +10 respectively, becoming More abundant.
At the same time, Luo Xiu carried out another "equipment replacement" for himself.
The "Mysterious Rune Armband" he had been equipped with for a long time was replaced by the "Giant Bracer", which is a "Master" quality wristband made by the craftsmen of the "Giant Clan", which can greatly increase the "Strength" attribute and Physical damage bonus and large damage reduction.
At the same time, Luo Xiu was equipped with the "Wolf Knight Leg Armor", which is one of the master-quality equipment favored by the supreme "Throne Knight Candidates". It can greatly increase agility and greatly improve the release efficiency of skills.
However, although they are all "master" quality equipment, there is still a big gap between them and equipment of the same quality forged by the dwarf Mir himself - with the professional bonuses of the dwarf master craftsman and "rune blacksmith", Equipment of the same quality forged by Mir will be much stronger than others and more cost-effective.
This is one of the reasons why Luo Xiu likes to find Mil for customization, but generally does not go to the official extraordinary market to buy extraordinary equipment or props.
——But free prostitution is justice! When Luo Xiu equipped these "master" quality equipment, he still felt a sense of refreshment.
There is one piece of "master" quality equipment left, which is a dagger-type weapon. Luo Xiu is going to leave it to Indis, and by the way, he will also inherit the "secret rune bracelet" to his "dependent" ".
…
After quickly completing the absorption of spiritual crystals and replacement of equipment, Luo Xiu took out the "Silver Dial Compass" and began to observe the movement of the dial needle in the plate.
It was afternoon now, and it was too early to return to Wolfhound Tavern. Luo Xiu decided to do something.
——The first official contact with the executioner’s “black teeth”!
From the reaction of the silver dial compass, Luo Xiu knew that the group of "black teeth" had also just arrived in Songyuan City. Before they have a firm foothold, quickly launch the first wave of sweeps against them, and the benefits will be the greatest!
The "Black Fangs" never imagined that the target they originally regarded as "prey" might actually "hunt" them in turn!
When thinking of this, Luo Xiu had a smile on his face. He touched the slightly raised corners of his mouth with his fingers and walked deeper into the alley, his back disappearing around the corner.
…
Songyuan City, Iron Cross Street.
Guilford Lane.
This is one of the earliest alleys in Songyuan City. Although the floor decoration on both sides of the alley has faded and decayed, some silhouettes of the past history can still be seen in it.
It is said that this alley was named after Guilford, a big businessman from the "El Dorado". He once bought the permanent land use rights in this neighborhood and built a luxurious manor house on it. .
As for this big businessman of the older generation, he uniquely discovered the color value of "Guilford Lane" and built it into a unique style street. This originally remote deep lane has become an attraction. The "Red Light Street", which was frequented by many wealthy businessmen, nobles and officials, became famous for a while.
However, with the promulgation of the new imperial decree, the color industry was shut down and banned in large areas, and the industry in Guilford Lane quickly declined.
Guilford himself was regarded as the "culprit" of betrayal by some color industry businessmen who had suffered losses due to the new order. One day, Guilford was found dead in his mansion. The cause of death was unknown.
But it was clear to anyone involved that Guilford had been killed by an assassination. Officials speculated that businessmen whose profits had been damaged paid for the murder, and officials eventually concluded the case and executed a businessman in the color industry.
It is said that since then, Guilford's mansion has become a "haunted house", and nearby citizens can often hear inexplicable howling, but every time the garrison officer comes to check, he has not found any clues.
Because Guilford Lane has lost its value, the manpower and material resources required to rectify this remote neighborhood are too large, and there are no middle-class or above civilians living nearby. In addition, no one has actually been harmed by the "haunted house". Therefore, Songyuan The city's garrison officers gradually gave up on completely solving the "haunted house" and instead allowed it to exist.
Guilford had no heirs, and his family relatives were far away in the Golden Kingdom. Although the Songyuan City Government Residence did not take back his land deed, his manor and mansion also quickly fell into ruins and became the ruins it is today after being neglected for many years. A scene like a dead building.
…
At this time, deep in Guilford Lane.
In the already dilapidated manor, four shadows were dormant.
No one knows, but this is actually one of the strongholds where the "Black Fangs" hide!
The four Black Fangs who are now dormant here have only one purpose for infiltrating and temporarily stationing here.
Find and kill the "priest" and get the fragments of a codex from his hands!
"I really don't know why Mr. Kross cares so much about this matter..."
A deep and hoarse voice came from the black mist cloak.
"...'Mist Demon'."
Beside Black Fang, codenamed "Mist Demon", a scarred sword-faced man with all white pupils said sullenly, "This is not something you should consider. I just want to kill him quickly and then go back."
"...Yes. You are right, 'Razor'." "Mist Demon" smiled and said, "It's just that sending four of us 'Black Fangs' out, no matter what, I always feel... it's a bit too exaggerated. ”
"You are new to us, Mist Demon. This is not an exaggeration."
"Razor" rolled his eyes, and blood oozed from the scar on his face, which looked extremely terrifying. He said in a cold tone: "Me, Gargoyle and Viper, we have all experienced this kind of thing."
"The continuous dispatch of more than four 'Black Fangs' shows that Sir Koros considers the situation to be serious. However, the fact that no 'Haws' have been dispatched yet indicates that it is not serious enough to require Sir Koros to take action..."
"..."
"Tsk, you really know a lot." "Mist Demon" smacked his lips.
Opposite "Mist Demon" and "Razor", the other two Black Fangs remained silent and did not join their conversation.
Suddenly, the "gargoyle"'s body moved. He quickly reached into his black robe and took out a shining silver compass.
"...The target moved, very quickly." The gargoyle spoke, his voice was extremely low, accompanied by the sound of bubbles bursting, as if what he was talking about was not a living person, but a corpse.
"The target has moved?" Razor and Mist Demon looked over at the same time, surprise flashing in their eyes.
Suddenly, a "buzzing" sound came from the silver dial compass in the gargoyle's hand. The compass began to tremble violently, and the surface temperature also began to rise rapidly.
"He's getting closer!" The gargoyle shouted in surprise, his voice suddenly rising several degrees.
However, just as the Black Fangs were thinking about the strange behavior of the "target", the Gargoyle saw that the "Silver Dial Compass" in his hand, the dial needle condensed with mercury in the plate, suddenly exploded at the next moment, dispersing into silver liquid. Sedimented in grooves, all movement is lost.
The spirituality attached to the mercury has failed! They completely lost track of their target! When the scene suddenly happened in front of them, Gargoyle, Razor and Mist Demon, they were all dumbfounded at the same time.
Hiss, hiss... A real poisonous snake emerged from the cloak of "Venomous Snake". It spat out red messages at the surrounding black fangs, and its vertical pupils symbolizing cold blood were gradually dyed with golden color. Go deep red!
"Ero is telling me about the danger..."
"Venomous Snake" made a sharp but unassuming voice and said to the surrounding Black Fangs, "I have a guess that the target may..."
——Bang! ! !
Before "Venomous Snake" finished speaking, the vision of all the Black Fangs was instantly deprived of dazzling white light. Then, they heard the sound of glass breaking.
On the exterior wall of the manor house, the colored decorative glass that had accumulated dust was instantly shattered by lightning. The shards of glass flew out, leaving shallow scratches on the bodies of the Black Fangs inside the house.
"...coming towards us."
Feeling that his vision was gradually recovering, "Viper" finally spoke the second half of the sentence completely.
However, when his vision recovered, he saw a horrific sight - as the leader of their "Black Fang" team this time, the hood of the "Gargoyle"'s cloak had been torn, and his head had also been torn apart. It disappeared, leaving only the decapitated neck, with blood spurting out!
In the "Venomous Snake"'s frightened eyes, he saw the culprit who killed the "Gargoyle".
A figure wrapped in a pitch-black cloak and wearing a black-striped mask suddenly appeared in front of the "Black Fangs" without knowing when!
This uninvited guest held a scarlet scythe in his right hand, with blood stains still remaining on the scythe blade. That was the blood of the "gargoyle"!
In his left hand, he is holding a Chinese art staff with green flowing colors. "Poisonous Snake" can feel that the magic staff contains a very terrifying aura. If the magic staff touches it even slightly, he may become poisonous. And die!
Working with poison, Black Fang, codenamed "Venomous Snake", had a rare look of fear on his dark purple face corroded by poisonous gas.
…
"...Ha. To be hiding in a place like this."
Under the black patterned face, Luo Xiu joked softly.
He used "Thunder of Judgment" to break open the glass wall of the mansion, and then used the shared ability of "Nightmare Wolf" to quickly travel through the shadows, and arrived at the Black Fangs just before their deprived vision was restored. center.
"Gargoyle" was the leader of the Black Fang team this time. He happened to take out his "Silver Dial Compass" to observe, which made Luo Xiu the first target to attack, and he targeted him.
"Hand of Punishment" started, Luo Xiu's right hand began to burn the holy flame, and at the same time the "Ancient Heritage" "Destroying Demonic Flame" was activated, and the Scythe of the Moon in his right hand suddenly emitted a terrifying scarlet fire!
Later, when all the "Black Fangs" lost their mobility, Luo Xiu transformed the scythe in his hand into Hong Yue's "decapitation" form. The power of his scythe strike at this time immediately killed the "Gargoyle" A different place!
The first black fang was beheaded, and the silver dial compass in his hand rolled down together with his head. The blood and turbid liquid smeared bloody and horrific patterns on the ground.
When they saw the "Gargoyle" being attacked and killed, the "Venomous Snake" closest to him was stunned on the spot due to fear. The "Mist Demon" and "Razor" were the first to react. They then used their spirituality to attack Luo Xiu. !
The mist demon turned into black mist, and the interior of the mansion was suddenly filled with darkness. The scars on Razor's body suddenly burst open, and the blood pouring out gathered on his left hand, forming a scarlet-colored sharp knife.
Rumbling, thunderous noises were heard from the thick fog filled with mist monsters. Luo Xiu suddenly felt a turbulence in his mind, but the absolute advantage of the spiritual level made him quickly return to a clear state of mind.
Luo Xiu raised his hand at the same time, and a burst of bright golden light floated, quickly dispelling the fog demon's thick fog.
——"Burning Feather Raven" Foggy Night! It burned with golden holy flames and flew toward the corners of the room where black mist swirled.
"Uhhhhh!" A cry came from the corner. It was the painful wail made by the mist demon when his body was burned by the holy flame.
Luo Xiu no longer paid attention to the movements of the fog demon. He glanced at Black Fang, codenamed "Razor".
In Razor's hand, the strange scarlet-colored long knife had taken shape. A ferocious smile appeared on his face. His pupils turned bloodthirsty scarlet at the same time, and he slashed at Luo Xiu with the knife.
A curtain of blood flowed out from the blade, and the razor suddenly jumped up. The sharp knife in his hand drew a string of blood flowers, and the curtain of blood approached Luo Xiu's position at the same time.
"...Are you a 'bloodthirsty'?"
Luo Xiu looked at Shao Shao and said with some surprise.
That is the forbidden spell of "Blood Ghoul". Only the "bloodthirsty" of the [Red Lotus] destiny can control it, and only the non-human race can become a "bloodthirsty".
In other words, the "Black Fang" with all white pupils and horizontal scars on his face is actually not a human being, at least not a pure-blooded human race... Are the criteria for selecting "Black Fang" in the Dark Principality so broad? ? Luo Xiu thought while casting the next holy spell on "Razor".
——"The Temple of Prisoners of Evil"!
While "Razor" was still jumping in the air, golden rings suddenly appeared on the soles of his feet. Countless thin threads emerged from the rings and tightly bound his ankles.
The next moment, an illusory golden spear rushed out from the ring, completely penetrating "Razor" from the back to the chest!
The change occurred suddenly, but "Zhao" did not feel the pain of the injury, and a wild smile appeared on his face, "Is that all? Just..."
"Razor" had just cut out all the blood curtains, waiting for those blood curtains to be slashed at the enemy in front of him with his last slash.
However, the razor failed to make the final cut. He just wanted to wave his arm, but found that he could no longer move!
In an instant, the wild laughter on Razor's face turned into horror. He tried to struggle and wave his arms, but failed twice and three times.
Luo Xiu's sickle flashed, and the "blood curtains" that the sickle blade touched were shattered in an instant, turning into mottled spirituality and then dissipated.
Under Razor's horrified gaze, Luo Xiu slowly hooked the sickle around his neck.
"...Issac is right."
Luo Xiu said in a cold tone, "You are indeed insects."
——Wow!
The crimson sickle blade suddenly struck down, and the "Razor"'s neck instantly disappeared, and his head rolled down, blood spurting out.
"Razor"'s headless body gradually fell limp and lost all vitality.
After killing the second Black Fang, Luo Xiu turned his gaze and glanced at every corner of the room.
The black mist diffused by the "Mist Demon" has been completely extinguished by the holy flames of the "Burning Feather Raven". Wailing sounds can still be vaguely heard from the corner, but the sound is very low.
Luo Xiu raised his hand, and a ball of light containing the power of annihilation appeared in his palm, and he threw it towards the source of the sound.
——Bah... A burning sound came out, and the wailing sound from the "fog demon" disappeared immediately. The last trace of black mist completely disappeared, and there was a thin, dry, and charred corpse on the ground.
"Burning Feather Raven" Wu Ye summoned back all the fire feathers that filled the entire room. It flapped its wings and flew up, landing back on Luo Xiu's shoulder.
Luo Xiu killed three of the four Black Fangs in an instant, and the last remaining Black Fang, codenamed Viper, hid while Luo Xiu was entangled by the Mist Demon and the Razor.
However, the "Viper" isn't really hiding either.
——Bah! There were bursts of cracking sounds in the air, and right behind Luo Xiu, a poisonous fang dagger with a strange dark green color was suddenly attacking him!
"Venomous Snake" looked crazy, holding the poisonous dagger in both hands, waiting for this sure blow.
The dagger was already approaching the waist and abdomen of the enemy in front of him, and the corners of the "venomous snake"'s mouth began to rise. In his mind, he unconsciously imagined the image of the enemy suffering severe injuries to his vitals, falling in a pool of blood and being slaughtered by him.
"Venomous Snake" is very confident. The dagger in his hand contains the venom of its natal snake "Ero". Its toxicity is enough to kill an extraordinary person of the second level of destiny in an instant, even if it is a third or fourth level of destiny. If an extraordinary person is completely pierced by its dagger, he will also be severely damaged by the strong poison and lose the ability to move in a short period of time!
However, the fantasy of the "venomous snake" did not come true. The tip of the dagger did touch the mysterious enemy in front of him. However, the place where it stabbed was filled with layers of spirituality. The ripples did not return the true feel of the puncture.
"Venomous Snake"'s pupils tightened, but he did not give up.
This is just the damage of piercing being offset by "spiritualization"! Many extraordinary beings have similar means of being immune to damage! "Venomous Snake" thought like this, and at the same time he unleashed all his spirituality and poured it into the green dagger in his hand.
His natal snake "Ero" jumped out of his cloak at the same time and got into the "dagger", making the green color emanating from the dagger even deeper and weirder.
That dagger is also the container of the poisonous snake "Ero"! A wild smile appeared on "Venomous Snake"'s face, and extremely powerful poison emitted from the dagger he held.
However, in the next moment.
"Poisonous Snake" saw with his own eyes that the "violent poison" formed by spirituality and "Ero" did indeed enter the enemy's body, but it was quickly dispelled by an unknown force.
All the "venom" was ineffective, causing the rampant and ferocious look on the "venomous snake"'s face to quickly dissipate, turning towards despair.
"Why...why!" "Venomous Snake" roared angrily, and the enemy in front of him finally turned around.
——Shua! A deep red light flashed, and both of "Venomous Snake's" hands were cut off. Half of the arms fell to the ground, rolled around a few times, and stopped at "Venomous Snake"'s feet.
"Venomous Snake" looked at everything that happened in front of him in astonishment. He did not understand and could not accept the scene that happened in front of him.
He failed, but he didn't understand why he failed. It wasn't until the severe pain of his arm being severed flooded his brain that he clearly realized the truly desperate situation he was in.
"Uh-huh, ahhhh!" "Venomous Snake" roared in pain. He knelt down on the ground at the same time, kneeling in front of his two severed arms, his eyes full of horror and despair.
"Do you know why I kept you until the end?"
A cold, emotionless voice came from under the enemy's mask.
"Viper" raised his head in shock, only to see that his enemy did not give him the final blow, but turned around and walked slowly towards the door of the room.
Why did you leave me until the end..."Venomous Snake" began to cycle this question in his mind.
He soon got his answer.
The mysterious enemy had walked to the door, raised his arm, and gently turned the handle.
"Only you, haha... Only you can't hurt me at all..."
He left these last words, then opened the door and walked out alone.
What's the meaning……? "Viper" was a little confused.
But...he just let me go? that's all……
The thought of luck came to Viper's mind, and he just wanted to feel lucky that he escaped death.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from "Venomous Snake"'s ears, and countless small, terrifying, and strange surges appeared in front of his eyes at the same time.
——Magic Spider! Colorful spider! They are all colorful spiders!
At this time, "Venomous Snake" could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, and he began to struggle violently, trying to escape from this visible hell.
However, the demon spider's frenzy was faster than his movements.
They quickly climbed up the "venomous snake"'s body, and their sharp rodents began to bite his flesh crazily, injecting a large amount of violent poison into his body.
"Ah...ah..." "Venomous Snake" was quickly overwhelmed by pain, and his wailing voice gradually weakened, and finally completely eliminated any sound.
