Chapter 650: Sit Back and Wait, Business Is Booming
Late at night, remote streets of the city. .
Ordinary people have basically fallen asleep, and there are almost no people on the streets. At this time, it is also the time when the activities of those creatures accustomed to walking in the shadows are most rampant.
At this time, at the entrance of the alley on one side of the street, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly poked their heads out of the shadows.
"Water Ghost, I'm just trying to find out some information. There's no need to be so careful."
The short figure named Water Ghost quickly turned around and glanced around without looking back. He snorted softly: "Black Bear, if I hadn't been careful that time in the jungle, you would have died!"
"Oh, come on! Jungle, jungle... doesn't it bother you when I say that every time?"
"Never! Because I know very well that I only have one chance to return to the arms of the God of Light."
Hearing this, the tall and majestic figure helplessly spread his hands: "Okay... Well, are you sure we won't go to hell?"
After observing that there was no danger, the short figure breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to glare, turned and walked out of the alleyway. Seeing that his companion was a little annoyed, the black bear wisely changed the subject: "Water ghost, who do you think is so bold and dares to offend our guild?"
"Nonsense, if I knew, would I still need to come here and spend money to buy clues?"
"Guess."
"I don't know. I only know that the higher the bounty, the more dangerous the mission, and..." After a pause, the water ghost said hesitantly, "I heard that the person who came this time was not good. The guild has suffered heavy losses in the past few days, in many places. The leaders were all assassinated...Well, do you remember the Silverstone City we stayed in a few months ago? Otis, the guild leader there, was also killed."
"Hiss..." Black Bear took a breath, and his majestic body couldn't help but trembled when he heard this, "That Otis who has been wanted all year round? No, it's not!"
"I really want to answer that you are not, but that's the fact. Tsk, someone in the crowd slashed his throat with a knife, cleanly, without even the slightest movement of resistance. I'm afraid he doesn't even know how he died... "Having said this, the water ghost also took a long breath of cold air, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, shook his head and was speechless.
"Then you still accept this mission?"
"It's just to investigate the identity of the other party. The bounty of 100,000 yuan... it should be fine if you are careful." With that said, the water ghost turned into the garbage-strewn and pungent-smelling intestine trail on one side, and looked again at the place that had been thoroughly explored just now. Surroundings, he stepped forward and knocked on a dilapidated wooden door.
Squeak... A crack appeared in the wooden door, revealing an old wrinkled face with a black beard and a sleepy face inside.
"Hi, old oil snake." As if they were familiar, the water ghost took the lead in waving hello, "Sorry to disturb you at this time, but we need some news urgently."
After muttering a curse, the old oil snake frowned and opened the wooden door. The person had disappeared behind the door.
The water ghost couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw this: "Old Oil Snake's temper today..."
"Ha, anyone who is woken up in their sleep will have a bad temper." The black bear on the side shrugged nonchalantly and pushed open the wooden door.
The room was a little dark, and the only source of light was a small oil lamp on a dirty table. Black Bear, who came in first, walked to the table and sat down with a carefree attitude: "Old Oil Snake, you have the best information. Are there any eye-catching people entering the city today..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a low growl, "No!" The water ghost who had just walked a few steps into the house sniffed his nose, and his expression suddenly changed, "It smells of blood!"
boom! The wooden door closed, and a joking voice sounded, "Hey, your nose is so smart." The water ghost and the black bear turned their heads suddenly when they heard the sound, and saw two people standing beside the door they came in. One of them was fat and looked like a businessman. He said, "David, I asked you to deal with it before coming in. This way, it must have been exposed in advance."
Another big man with a blood-stained sword on his shoulder curled his lips disdainfully: "How can you blame me? As soon as I sent the guy away, they came right after him. They are so active in seeking death, what can I do?"
Seeing the two people talking as if there was no one around, Black Bear's body suddenly tensed up, and he turned around and roared: "Old Oil Snake, you fucking betrayed me..."
Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank, and with a hiss, a wisp of magical blade light seemed to pass through his neck slowly but quickly. Black Bear subconsciously turned sideways to hide, but it was too late. He could only watch the blade light approaching infinitely, thinking in his heart. It was not the fear of dying, but what the water ghost said before, with a clear look on his face - that Otis was wiped across the throat cleanly, without even resisting... This should be the feeling!
"Actually, you guys brought this to your door." He sighed softly. This was not the voice of the old oil snake, but it was the last words the black bear heard, and then his consciousness fell into boundless darkness...
At the same time, bang, kicking his feet and flying back, the water ghost showed a dagger with his backhand and rushed towards the door fiercely. Although there were two people in front, the water ghost somehow still felt that the senile 'Old Oil Snake' behind him was more dangerous, so he decided to force a breakout from here.
It should be said that the subconscious judgment of the water ghost is correct. The 'Old Oil Snake' in the back is indeed more dangerous than the two in front, but at the same time, another problem is also fatal, that is, the two in front are not soft at the mercy of others. persimmon……
"Ha!" With a chuckle, David took a step forward and slashed straight down with his heavy sword. The angle, strength, and timing of the attack were all perfect, forcing the water ghost to move sideways to avoid it. At this moment, the fat man with an unattractive appearance suddenly appeared in front of him and quickly held out the dagger.
Barely able to parry, Ding! Sparks flashed, and before the water ghost with numb scalp could breathe a sigh of relief, he shouted... The heavy sword that he had just dodged came at him again like a shadow. He retreated and gritted his teeth to resist.
boom!
Oops... As soon as he took over the heavy sword, the water ghost couldn't help but scream in his heart. The power contained in the heavy sword was beyond his expectation, and his body flew straight back like a discharged cannonball.
Behind him was the dangerous 'Old Oil Snake', but the opponent did not make up for it as the water ghost expected. Instead, he was concentrating on replacing the magic rune stones on the inside of the small oil lamp...
Silent magic?
The water ghost glanced at the rune stone and felt suddenly. No wonder there was a battle here just now, but they who were exploring the surroundings did not hear any movement at all.
After this thought flashed away, the water ghost was about to adjust his body shape and land on the ground, but his body couldn't help but stiffen. Poof... lowered his head, and the tip of the dagger was protruded from his heart. When it stirred, the few blood beads on it were crystal clear and a bit dazzling!
That fat man...so fast?
…
Phew, he simply retracted the dagger and hugged the body of the water ghost. Blood suddenly splashed on half of Harry's body. He frowned and rolled his eyes: "Fuck, I just changed my clothes."
David came over and leaned over to drag the black bear's body: "Haha, that's it. This bounty hunter is pretty good. He was able to block two of our combined attacks. He's much stronger than the guy just now."
It was a simple conversation, but it could also be seen from it that this was not the first time this was done tonight.
This is indeed the case. The crazy assassinations in the previous three days were very fruitful. On the one hand, the strength of the members of Gray Space is really good. On the other hand, the Bounty Hunter Guild did not have any preparation for this. Tang En was caught off guard. They succeeded easily.
Of course, such good times will not last long. With the deaths of nearly thirty regional leaders, the Bounty Hunters Guild finally reacted. Immediately, on the task boards of various guilds, the identities of Tang En and the other assassins were at the top of the list, and the bounties were extremely high.
Tang En's response to this was also very simple, which was to take the lead in occupying the intelligence dealer's den in the city and wait for him.
Facts have proved that this method is very good and powerful! As there is a specialization in the art industry, it is natural to go to an intelligence dealer for intelligence matters. Most of the greedy bounty hunters thought of this together with Tang En. So even though this place is inconspicuous, from nightfall until now, the number of bounty hunters killed has exceeded double digits...
Bang, carefully put on the silent magic runestone, Tang En waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, drag it away quickly, maybe there will be one soon..."
Before he finished speaking, "Meow..." a long-drawn cat voice like an old cat in heat came from the back of the house.
David and Harry paused when they heard this. This was the warning sound made by members of the outer gray space when they discovered that the target was approaching. They turned to look at Tang En, whose mouth was twitching. They held their foreheads and said, "Damn, your mouth is a**. .”
Dong Dong... there was a knock on the door.
After shaking his head, Tang En signaled a moment to David and the others, got up and walked to the door, opened it, and a faint light leaked out. He looked up and down at the man in black robe standing outside the door, deliberately covering his face with a wide hat, and smacked his lips: "Hmm, bounty hunter?"
"Huh?" The man in black robe was obviously startled when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously.
"That's good..." He murmured in a low voice. Tang En's figure swayed, and the figure that was mostly inside the door suddenly appeared outside. He stretched out his hand, pinched his throat, and scratched... The crisp sound of broken bones still echoed in the deep path. Bang, the dim light disappeared and the wooden door closed again.
After walking back a few steps, he threw the body towards David who was a little stunned. Tang En frowned and sat back at the table: "This business is a bit hot, so hurry up and deal with it."
"……good."
