Chapter 124 Hunter’s Praise

Katz Mountain is an unknown hill, but it is particularly lively during this period because the black iron ore vein owned by the Laka family is located here.

There are densely guarded sentries, and armed men with firearms are patrolling the surrounding areas. They are the private armed forces of the Raqqa family. Although they cannot match the orderliness of the regular army in large-scale battles, there are many desperadoes among them, and their combat effectiveness Not to be underestimated.

Although this mineral vein is currently shared by the Laka family and Luye Town, with Lvye Town still occupying 40% of the interest, the specific development and guarding of the mine are dominated by the Laka family. Under normal circumstances, Luye Town The town will dispatch a Yin Beast and several people who are proficient in management and finance to guard the black iron veins for deterrence and surveillance.

When night falls, blazing bonfires are lit in the mines. In order to increase production, the mines adopt two shifts of excavation and work does not stop at night.

The warehouse, the heart of the mine, is where all the mined ore is temporarily stored. The guards here are the strictest in the entire mine. Even in the dark, all the guards are still in high spirits and do not dare to relax at all.

Puff, puff, puff, a slight noise resounded in the silent warehouse, the ground turned, and a short man about one meter and two three meters emerged from the ground.

"I must eat more this time."

Looking at the piles of black iron ore around him, the little man's eyes flashed with greedy green light. He was afraid of being discovered several times before, and each time he suppressed his appetite. This time he decided to reward himself. Anyway, as long as It's not too much, the other party won't even notice.

Stretching out his hand as big as a child, he picked up a piece of ore the size of his head. The little man opened his mouth, his cheeks cracked and suddenly grew bigger, and he actually swallowed the piece of ore in one gulp.

"Tsk, tsk, there are actually people chewing these hard ores. I couldn't believe it before."

Hearing this, the little dwarf was suddenly startled. He stepped back, and the soil rolled under his feet. In the blink of an eye, he was about to escape into the road again without even looking at the unknown enemy.

"Oh, the stone rat is indeed a stone rat. Its body is harder than a stone, but its courage is less than that of a mouse."

The mocking and scornful voice sounded again, followed by a flash of silver sword light.

Phew, the sword was sharp and fast, and it quickly approached the Stone Rat, forcing him to give up the idea of ​​​​escaping from the soil.

"you wanna die."

The escape route was blocked, green light flashed in his eyes, and the Stone Rat's body suddenly swelled.

Crash, the clothes were torn, and a monster nearly three meters tall, covered in gray and white, like a rock, appeared above the stone rat's original location. Fortunately, this was a warehouse, and it was built extraordinarily tall. Even the monster's size was not affected. What impact.

Bang, he stepped forward, made a fist, and punched out.

Through the attack just now, Stone Rat locked onto the person in the darkness.

"The strength is good, but it's a pity that it's a bit stupid."

As always, the voice was taunting, but this time the voice came from behind Stone Rat, and the stone rat's punch just now was in vain.

"Are you from the Laka family? I just ate some black iron ore, and I am willing to compensate."

Turning around and looking at the figure standing there, Stone Rat stopped attacking.

"Oh? It's really interesting. So what price are Stone Rat or Mr. Habasi willing to pay?"

The figure seemed to be moved by Shi Shu's words. Instead of rushing to take action, he started asking.

Hearing this, Shi Shu or Habasi was surprised and happy. What was surprising was that this person actually knew his real name and his details had obviously been found out. What was happy was that this matter seemed to be resolved through negotiation. Through the brief confrontation just now, he clearly knew that he was no match for the person in front of him. If he could use money to ensure his safety, then even if it cost more, it would be worth it.

"One hundred gold galleons, one hundred gold galleons, this is all my worth."

The lines were rough, and there was a hint of pain on the gray stone face. At this moment, Habasi's voice was particularly sincere.

"Tsk, that's a little little."

Under the dim light, the face of the figure was revealed. It was Balash. However, the Balash at this moment was slightly different from the usual Balash. Instead of the usual sunshine and warmth, it looked a bit cold and harsh. , he looked at Habasi like a naughty boy looking at a toad with a broken leg.

"I can take refuge in the Laka family. I am a second-level stone monster potion transcendent."

Feeling that something was wrong, Habasi gave his most sincere terms, and he believed that the other party would not refuse.

"You are such an interesting person, what a shame."

The playful smile faded, and there was a bit of regret in Balash's words. He took a deep look at Habasasi, as if he wanted to remember his appearance, and then his body disappeared.

"Damn it."

Murderous intent shrouded his whole body, and Habasi wanted to take action immediately. Unfortunately, it was already too late.

"Secret skill: follow the blade."

The cold voice was erratic, like the call of a ghost, and then streaks of silvery sword light enveloped Habasi's huge body.

After ten breaths, the sword light dissipated, and Habasi's huge body stood motionless on the spot.

"Why, why?"

Turning his eyes hard, Habasi looked at Balash's figure. He had too many puzzles. Why, why, he was obviously planning to take refuge. Could it be that he, a second-level transcendent, was not as good as a bunch of unrefined people? Black iron ore? Or is it that the Laka family is already so powerful that it does not need outside extraordinary beings to join?

Hey, blood was flowing, and fine knife marks appeared on Habasi's rock-like body, dyeing him from a gray-white stone man into a bloody man. He was dead.

Daba, after confirming that Habasasi was dead, Balash walked up to him and showed a cold smile on his face.

"Because I'm interested in your strength."

Whispering in a low voice, Balash seemed to be answering Habasi's questions before his death.

The light of the knife flashed, and a knife trick was played. One black and one white in Balash's hand, the strange object like two dog-leg knives disappeared, and then a strange parchment slowly emerged from the void.

An ancient and desolate atmosphere began to fill the air, and Balash's expression became solemn.

The parchment slowly unfolded, and lights and shadows began to emerge continuously. There were humans and monsters, some were gray, some were white, and some were blood. There were even images of Sean and Mons among them.

The hunter's praise is a rare item of unknown level. The holder can use this item to transform into a hunter and select prey for hunting. After a successful hunt, he can gain part of the prey's power and even knowledge.

This is the fundamental reason why Balash, an illegitimate child with no resources, was able to become a second-level knight at the age of eighteen. It is also the reason why he gave up cp0 and chose to join the Yin Beast, which had a lower starting point and more difficult conditions.

Of course, although the hunter's praise is powerful, it also has corresponding restrictions. First of all, the prey selected by the hunter must be equal to or exceed the own in terms of life level, otherwise the hunt cannot be carried out. Secondly, hunters of the same level can only hunt Five times, so the selection of prey needs to be careful every time. Once selected, no matter whether the hunting is successful or not, this opportunity will disappear and the same prey can only be hunted once. The final harvest of the hunt is not only related to the strength of the prey, but also the strength of the prey. It is also related to the intelligence of the prey. The more information the hunter can collect about the prey before hunting, the greater the final harvest will be.

The light and shadow froze, and Habasi's short body exuded a scarlet light, and then slowly shattered. At the same time, a strong force grew in Balash's body.

The parchment disappeared, and Balash couldn't help but squeeze his fists. He knew that he had not chosen the wrong prey this time. Sure enough, he was right to choose to join the Yin Beast. Otherwise, he would have to find the right one by himself. It is not easy to prey on someone, let alone get the opponent's information in advance. He has experienced this kind of life before.

At present, the intelligence system is still the weak point of Greenfield Town, but after he advanced to the third level and no longer needed shadow protection for security, Sean asked Shadow to create a new department, ANBU.

The only responsibility of the ANBU is to collect intelligence. Although it is still very rudimentary at present, there is already a general framework in the new continent of the Kingdom of Sutirte. This time, the intelligence of Habasi was provided to the Yin Beast by the ANBU.
