Chapter 116 The Third Retrospection (4400)
The next day, in Kaxiu's new home, in the pale courtyard.
"Happy cooperation."
"Happy... Happy cooperation."
The two hands were clasped together, one side was Kaxiu with a faint smile on his face, and the other side was Ugo, who was a little scared.
Beside him, except Ugo, the other three or four members of the Shadowless Organization stood quietly, with very awkward expressions.
The only one who looked normal was Theresa, who was still wearing a black dress. She was holding a box in her hand.
Several members of the Shadowless Organization were scared to death last night and lost their shoes. After returning to the organization's base in Shirakawa City, they quickly reported Theresa's death and also reported the news that they had encountered the Red-Eyed Demon Shadow.
However, before the news spread, Theresa, who was said to have died heroically in the mouths of several people, came back leisurely.
For a time, the entire base was like facing a great enemy. They thought Theresa was coerced by the Red-Eyed Demon Shadow and revealed the location of the base under torture. The Shadow Squad lurking in Baichuan City hid in the surrounding darkness, ready to take down the entire stronghold at any time.
After a tense misunderstanding, everyone in the stronghold finally realized that it was a mistake. What Ugo and others saw was not a Red Eye Shadow, but a master of secret martial arts who broke through the limits of the human body. As for the Shadow Squad of Baichuan City attacking the stronghold, it was completely impossible, because this Shadow Squad had offended Kaxiu yesterday and had been wiped out.
Ugo and other elite members were extremely embarrassed that night, but Theresa brought good news to the Shadowless Organization.
Kaxiu was willing to sell the Claw-level Shadow in his hand.
Two million Hongli Federation coins, payment and delivery the next day.
You know, the ferocity and brutality of the Shadow is far beyond the imagination of humans. Even if it is defeated, it can quickly hide in the darkness and escape. So killing the Shadow is not difficult, but capturing a Shadow alive is quite difficult. Theresa's ability to buy a Claw-level Shadow from Kaxiu is a great achievement.
With a simple operation, it is not a problem to get a half-job promotion.
Unfortunately, the Red Eyed Demon Shadow is still very useful to Kaxiu, and Theresa cannot trade with it. Otherwise, a Red Eyed Demon Shadow is enough for her to climb two or three levels. She can even be transferred directly to the Shadowless Headquarters as a middle and senior manager.
Of course, fantasy is fantasy, and the initiative is not in her hands after all. These two Demon Shadows were captured by Kaxiu with his strength. He is willing to sell them to give the other party face, and if he is not willing to sell them, don't even think about forcing him. Theresa is quite clear about this.
"Mr. Levi, here is two million."
She immediately stepped forward and handed the box to Kaxiu.
Kaxiu was not hypocritical, and went back to the house to carry out a white sack, which seemed to contain a humanoid object.
There was a strong smell of medicine on the surface of the sack. This was used to hold medicinal materials in the past, and now Kaxiu just took it out for waste.
"Let's see if it is."
He pulled the sack down, revealing a man tied up with iron chains all over his body, with a disheveled face and a miserable appearance. His mouth was tightly blocked, and there were large bruises on his forehead and face.
Seeing the sunlight at this moment, he closed his eyes unconsciously. His head was lowered, as if the sunlight was a little restrained for him.
Theresa, Ugo and others looked at him quickly. The man looked no different from a normal human, but his palms were obviously longer than others, and his nails were sharp like fangs.
The shadow behind him was facing away from the sunlight, hiding under the body and wriggling, and an evil breath was revealed in the darkness.
Theresa and Ugo looked at each other, and that was right!
"No problem, it is indeed a claw-level magic shadow."
Theresa nodded.
"Well, give it to you."
Kaxiu finally helped Theresa and the others, slashing the magic shadow's neck with a knife and knocking it out. Although the magic shadow was chained, it was always right to prevent accidents.
He did not trust Ugo and his group of so-called elites, but actually playful members of the Shadowless Organization, and was worried that things would go wrong.
Five minutes later, a square-headed Silver Cup car drove away from the door of the house. Kaxiu looked for a while and went back to the house. He went to the third floor, took out the medicine bag, and prepared to take a medicinal bath.
Huff, huff, huff...
In the basement, a heavy breathing sound like a cow's panting came one after another. Kaxiu was squatting in a horse stance at this moment, with his toes lightly raised and his head drooping. The center of gravity of the whole person's body was slightly leaning forward, and his hands were pressed together.
The posture was very strange and consumed a lot of physical strength.
The sweat on Kaxiu's upper body kept dripping down like a line, soaking the gray and white training pants. The strong muscles were slightly red, just like a lobster being scalded by hot water.
"Huff... Chi... Huff... Huff... Huff... Huff... Chi..."
The regular breathing sound gradually accelerated, from the normal breathing of a normal person at the beginning to the high-end blower at the end, and finally almost became one. The air from the nose tip was faintly white.
"Ha."
Kaxiu suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of foul air.
He stood on his tiptoed feet again and straightened up.
The muscles of his whole body contracted and trembled, and the large amount of sweat hanging on the surface of his skin was shaken away, forming a mist in the air.
He raised his view slightly and glanced at the upper right corner.
"Elephant Soul Secret Art: Insect Bite 43.2% (three levels in total)"
From the time he returned to the time of retracing his steps until now, the progress bar of the Elephant Soul Secret Art has jumped by about 0.1%. It is really difficult.
Kaxiu's current realm is probably above the second minor success, and there is still a long time to reach the 66% major success.
He predicted that when the progress bar of the Elephant Soul Secret Art exceeds 66.7%, the third node of blood acceleration will be opened with a high probability. When the three blood acceleration points circulate at the same time, Kaxiu doesn't even need to practice by himself, and the secret martial arts will run automatically. Although the efficiency of practice is definitely not as good as active practice, it is better than automatic practice, and you can get stronger even when you sleep.
In fact, he has already realized this. With the two nodes of the heart and belly button opened, there is always a faint warm current circulating in Kaxiu's body. This also makes his injury repair speed faster and the blood supply more sufficient.
Although it is not as effective as the qualitative change caused by opening all three nodes together, it can also be seen in the previous shooting. The bullet holes on the body were all healed in just one day.
This is the hidden benefit brought by two blood nodes.
Kaxiu twisted his neck and immediately walked step by step to the exercise equipment. He reached out to open the iron lock, pulled off the chain on the demon shadow, and threw it aside.
"I'll give you a chance to rush over me and out of the curtain. If you can rush through, I'll let you go." He pushed back several steps with an expressionless face, and then stood in front of the dividing curtain.
On the other side, the red-eyed demon shadow stood up. The environment in the basement was very dim. His pair of light red eyes stared at Kaxiu like a beast, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? Of course it's true." Kaxiu grinned, and his white teeth made the demon shadow cold all over.
Dong! Bang! Uh!
A few minutes later, the demon shadow was dragged back to the fitness equipment like a dead dog. Kaxiu picked up a metal chain and wrapped it around it, and finally squatted down and said with some disappointment: "I gave you a chance, but you are useless..."
He patted the demon shadow's left cheek: "Keep up the good work."
Kaxiu slowly stood up and patted his chest. On the chest muscles that looked like rocks, two or three white marks crossed left and right.
Those were the marks left by the high-speed slashing of the Demon Shadow's claws.
The skin was broken, but no blood was seen. The Red Eye Demon Shadow was still quite capable, at least comparable to the level of a boxer. If Kaxiu had not suppressed the opponent by one realm, he would not have dared to release it. Of course, he was not doing this to humiliate the opponent.
He just wanted to find an opponent to practice boxing every day. He had never met a human master of the boxer level in the real world. I don't know if it was because of the development of technology that the secret martial arts was severely oppressed and weakened. Or some other hidden reason.
In addition, Kaxiu fought with the Demon Shadow for the purpose of finding out the details of the opponent. After all, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle.
The Demon Shadow was not one or two, one or two teams. It was a large-scale dark creature hidden among humans. As a parasite, Kaxiu would be visited by the Demon Shadow one day.
It is necessary to take precautions and understand in advance.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, on the small balcony of the light yellow building.
Kaxiu moved a recliner and lay on it. The sun was warm and the sky was pure blue. There was a distant singing voice coming from the room. A stereo black celluloid LP was spinning on the table. This is a newly popular record in the Red Lebanese Federation. It is twelve inches and can record many songs.
The breeze brushed across his face. Kaxiu, who was wearing casual clothes, took out a bronze ring from his arms, and his eyes flickered slightly.
In the sun, the ring glowed inexplicably.
His thoughts were very clear. The second manifestation of the magic shadow had passed, and the third one would be two months later. Kaxiu couldn't wait that long. Of course, he had to go back again during this period to enhance his strength. Anyway, the obsession energy was definitely enough, and there was also the third backtracking of the wind ivory pendant as a backup. It was not a problem to go back again in advance.
He glanced at the upper right corner.
"Obsession energy: 5.4"
Kaxiu calmed down and slowly raised his hand.
A drop of blood was immediately pressed on the bronze ring.
Instantly, a numb and cold feeling came from all parts of the body, as if echoing with the ring. Kaxiu blinked his eyes, and everything around him was frozen like a bug frozen in amber, and a fallen leaf in the air could not fall.
"Buzz..."
Kaxiu's head shook violently, as if hit by a sledgehammer.
The world in front of him was spinning, and the colors of various scenes blurred together, just like a painter pouring a basin of water on a delicate oil painting. Kaxiu clenched his right hand into a fist, trying his best to keep his sanity to fight against this dizziness and blur.
Huh~ The strong wind swept through the rain and fog in the city at high altitude, leaving a large curved track that rolled like waves.
Water droplets passed through the dark clouds and hit the gaps between the gray and white street bricks, forming a thin mist floating on the ground. Lightning broke in the sky, thunder roared hoarsely, and dark clouds covered the entire Nington city.
Time: fifty years ago.
July 7, 106th year of the Red Li Federation calendar.
Location: Donghai County, Nington City, Lishe Avenue.
This is Donghai County, the prosperous Donghai County. Since Donghai County built several ports decades ago, its economic development has been rapid. Especially more than 20 years ago, the world's shipping routes were confirmed and opened up steadily, which brought endless wealth to Donghai County. All kinds of luxury goods have to be shipped here.
Although Nington City is not the core city of Donghai County, its economic development can also be ranked third or fourth, which is quite prosperous.
High-rise buildings with brown glass on the exterior walls, huge banners of commodities or stars, and chimneys that reach into the sky are the most conspicuous features of Ninton. Not only that, there are also a large number of theaters, churches, stock exchanges, and exquisite mansions.
Here, it is a paradise for the rich to enjoy power.
Lysées Avenue, Jasmine Mansion. A large dance party is being held here, and Charles Roche, the owner of the Kefren Company, has invited some celebrities and socialites. In the mansion, many men and women in formal dresses are dancing to the music.
The bright light of the chandelier casts their shadows on the smooth floor, and you can see the waving and dancing of their limbs. The shadows of the gentleman and the socialite are so close that they seem to be entangled together.
On the pale yellow sofa at the edge, a beautiful girl in a red dress looks at the dance floor with some uneasiness. She came alone today without a dance partner, so she seems a little out of place. The girl turned her head and glanced at the edge of the dance floor on the right side.
A young and handsome man was holding a red wine glass and looking forward quietly. He was wearing a casual suit, which was very close to his strong and slender body. His face was fair and handsome, and his shiny hair was combed back, revealing a full forehead.
The man had a sense of elegance and calmness, and also a faint sense of majesty. This man was Charles, the boss of Kefulen Company, a multi-millionaire who was only 20 years old.
And today was the man’s birthday party. He didn’t seem to have any family or relatives, and invited many celebrities in Nington City to make the scene lively. There were quite a few unmarried beautiful women among them, after all, everyone wanted to be with an unmarried rich man.
However, this rich man was a little lonely, and it might be difficult to approach him... The girl thought so in her heart.
Charles in the distance actually walked over and stretched out a hand: "Ms. Emily, you should not have a dance partner today, right? So can you dance with me now?"
"Ah...ah, of course."
Emily stood up in surprise and stretched out her other hand.
Immediately, a pair of beautiful men and women danced in the circular dance floor. They were destined to be the absolute protagonists of the night.
Half an hour later, the banquet ended and the guests dispersed.
In the hall of the clubhouse, only Emily and Charles were in love. They stood by the window, listening to the rain outside and tasting red wine. Their feelings were slowly heating up.
Wow!
A bright lightning flashed across the dark sky.
The hall of the clubhouse, which had been extinguished for a large area of lights, was suddenly illuminated again, and Charles' shadow was projected on the ground. The figure and angle were like a black bat grinding its teeth and sucking blood!
Boom!
The thunder in the clouds sounded like a cannon.
In the hazy rain, a man holding a big black umbrella and carrying a bag walked towards the mansion step by step.
He was wearing a black suit and a wide-brimmed hat that covered most of his face. He looked very mysterious. The leather shoes stepped on the rain all the way to the side wall of the mansion. The man glanced around and took something out of the bag.
A mechanical crossbow with copper and silver colors.
The edge was unusually thick, and the metal surface was engraved with wanton curling patterns, and a revolving tube like a cannon barrel was hung underneath.
The silver crossbow arrows in the revolving tube flashed faintly.
There was also a small line of cursive characters engraved in the corner of the mechanical crossbow.
"Raging steam."
The man looked down and was about to raise his head. Suddenly, his body shook, and the whole person seemed to be frozen in this rainy night.
The crazy rain falling from the sky formed a blurred rain mist, and the surroundings were vague and could not be seen clearly.
The raindrops as big as soybeans hit the umbrella, making a series of snapping sounds, and the umbrella surface trembled slightly. Suddenly, the umbrella tilted back gently, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes.
"Nightmare, Blood Clan, Hunting, Black Rain Villa..."
He muttered to himself, gently weighing the crossbow in his hand.
"Also, Violent Steam..."
Thanks to 10409748 for the 100 Yuebi reward, and thanks to Set for the 100 Qidianbi reward.
The new dungeon has finally started. If there is nothing to do at school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there should be a burst of updates.
