Chapter 388 Candle Soul's Efficiency Is Too High (4000)

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and I looked out through the window of the sanatorium. The walls were white and shiny, the trees were green and lush, and the pedestrians were wearing cool clothes.

Claire left because something big happened this morning.

The dark gold hunter, one of the candidates for shadow, Lion King Soth was attacked.

And it was not just a simple ordinary attack. Instead, there was an assassin comparable to the level of shadow hunter! If it weren't for the death guards sent by the royal family to protect Soth and delay at the critical moment, I'm afraid Claire would have heard the news of Lion King Soth's death.

In this assassination, Soth did not die, but he also paid a heavy price. His left arm was cut off and the injury was not light. Even if there was a skilled extraordinary doctor in the royal family who could connect the injured arm, it would definitely not be as useful and flexible as before. It can be said that after the assassination this morning, Soth's strength was damaged and his threat was greatly reduced. Thorn Solomon and Siren Claire became the biggest winners and suspects.

That's right, as soon as the news of Soth's assassination came out, many reasons for the assassination spread within the Dark Hunter Organization. But without exception, at least two-thirds of the spearheads pointed to Claire and Solomon.

Even if it wasn't done by the two of them, it was done by the forces behind them. As for Kaxiu, who had just submitted the honor badge, basically no one doubted or paid attention. After all, what can a black bronze hunter do?

Even if the royal family named Kaxiu and said it was done, no one would believe it. Not to mention, the royal family is now confused about the assassination this morning. Which force did this?

Florence, central city, inside the palace.

In a palace building full of the smell of medicine, Soth walked out of the room with a bandage on his left arm and a gloomy face. Following him were a dozen energy users with medical abilities. There were men, women, young and old, and everyone's face was a little pale due to excessive use of their abilities.

They have tried their best. Soth's severed left arm was saved, but its flexibility is not as good as before. It is probably only one-third of its original strength. If it is an ordinary broken arm, so many energy users can recover it completely. However, the demon's sickle slashed down, not only physically, but also mentally.

For a strong man of this level, every move and every style contains courage and will. Physical injuries can be healed, but the soul cannot be healed.

Half an hour later, in a quiet secret room.

Soth punched the iron sandbag in front of him, and the iron sand inside exploded with a bang, turning into raindrops falling on the ground, crackling.

"Damn it! Claire! Solomon! Who is it!!!"

He vented his anger, raised his right arm and dropped it, like a hammer head. He punched the iron rod in front of him and bent it into a ball.

His thick five fingers pinched the iron ball, and his bones crackled.

Soth knew that he was being targeted, and it was targeted by an organization that knew him well. First of all, it was the Shadow Thorn Organization. This top assassination organization actually had a close relationship with the royal family and was considered half of Soth's thugs. But this morning, the headquarters of the Shadow Thorn Organization was destroyed, and several gold medal assassins and the Shadow Thorn leader were all killed. At the same time, Soth's most capable subordinate, the middle-aged man Gary, was also killed by the assassin.

In addition to his own assassination, the three things were combined. The person who planned this action was undoubtedly an organized and premeditated force. This force was very familiar with the situation of the royal family and had outstanding intelligence. And it was confident and not afraid of the royal family's revenge. In the end, it was able to send out assassins at the level of Shadow Hunter! Soth could only think of the Parliament and the Shadow Hunter Organization.

That is, his two old opponents, Claire and Solomon.

As for Bai Kui, and the old hunters who might exist behind him. It's not that Soth underestimated them. This neutral group was still far worse than the Parliament and the Shadow Hunter Organization. Can the old hunters send out a killer of the Shadow Hunter level? Don't joke, Soth decisively eliminated him.

"You can't compete with me, so you play dirty?!" Soth's teeth were clacking, like a lion chewing food. His eyes became fierce: "When my injury is healed, I will definitely pay it back!"

On the other side, in the second area of ​​​​Fiorentine, in a dark training room.

Solomon, who just heard the news, was stunned.

This is too efficient! Just said last night that he would help me eliminate the opponent, and this morning he chopped off Soth's arm! Zhuhun and the forces behind him are really concerned!

The only pity is that Soth survived.

If it was just a left arm, although Soth's threat was reduced, he was still one of the two competitors. Solomon immediately felt that Zhuhun was still too hasty, and he should have made a detailed plan and picked the best time to act. Wait, the plan was just mentioned last night, and he acted on Soth this morning. It's not like Zhuhun is going to assassinate Claire again in the afternoon! No, he has to persuade her to take a long-term view.

Thinking of this, Solomon left the secret room immediately.

When he found Zhuhun through a special contact channel, Zhuhun looked confused. He was still in the initial preparation stage, planning to collect Sos's daily action cycle. Sos had been assassinated?

For a moment, he felt like he had no place to use his strength.

If this matter was not directed and acted by the royal family, then only the parliament and the dark hunter organization were qualified to carry out the assassination. Solomon was the candidate put forward by the parliament, so it could only be Claire!

Solomon and Zhu Hun looked at each other and became wary.

One o'clock in the afternoon, District 7, headquarters of the Dark Hunting Organization.

"This matter must have been done by the Hongli Council! One hundred percent certain!" A gray-haired old man stood up at the long table and said loudly.

"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility that it was directed and acted by the royal family. But the probability is relatively small. The secret will be exposed when Soth and others fight."

Next to him, a man in a suit and leather shoes speculated.

"No matter what, this is a good thing. Although we are reluctant to admit it, Soth was indeed the most promising candidate to become a Shadow Hunter. Now that his left arm is injured and has flaws, his strength must have declined. In this way As soon as we come, our probability increases..."

Another old man spoke and looked towards the end of the long table.

Claire was sitting there with a dazed expression on her face. Whenever she entered such a serious conference room situation, she couldn't help but become distracted and sleepy.

If possible, Claire would like to carry out the task assigned by her uncle to protect Bai Kui. She has already felt the benefits of this task. She can stay alone in the next room and fish openly and lazily.

Claire has snacks and novels ready.

Spend an unforgettable little vacation in a sanatorium.

The sun gradually sets from its high position in the sky at noon, and the light becomes dim, and is eventually swallowed up by clouds and darkness, turning completely into night.

Card Xiu opened his eyes and came to the world of disaster from reality.

The feet are standing on the altar of resurrection, and there is a solid touch.

Crash...the pale flames circled all the way up from the top of the space.

The first floor of the asylum tower was completely illuminated.

Card Xiu let go of his right hand, and in his palm was a triangular badge like a pyramid. This is the hunter badge that the ghost redeemed for him.

Putting it in his pocket, Ka Xiu walked along the stairs to the third floor.

Directly activate the defensive array and let the light film cover the tower walls.

The disaster in the air was immediately driven away and filtered out.

Half a minute later, Card Xiu left the shelter tower and walked all the way across the Ashes City. We came to the city wall where the ghosts left the disaster world last time.

Wait a moment.

The swirling black lines on the city wall formed an illusory passage.

Two figures walked out slowly.

One holds a huge scythe, wears a thick black robe, and has a sinister aura.

One carries a knight's sword on his back, wears heavy armor, and stands as tall as a mountain.

"Ghost Man, Iron Knight... let's go, I will take you to the tower..."

Kaxiu did things neatly and got straight to the point.

He jumped up, and the ghost man followed closely. Only the Iron Knight suddenly ran out in the alleyway, as if he was going to take the land route.

"Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of a large number of dark creatures when you fly so high and run on top of buildings? I know something about Ash City. The Lord of Ash City is a very dangerous disaster-level dark creature. There are ten of them. Once Being entangled by one of the clones is extremely difficult to escape.”

The three of them stopped. The Iron Knight raised his head, and a deep voice came from under the metal mask. He looked at the two people on the roof on the right.

When Ka Xiu heard this, he turned back and glanced at the ghost.

The ghost man shook his head: "Sorry, my negligence. I didn't make it clear to the Iron Knight. After all, his attitude has been ambiguous before..."

"You two, please be more cautious. After all, this is a world full of dangers and disasters. If you are a little negligent, you may be doomed..."

The iron knight is still trying to persuade him kindly. It can be seen that he is very cautious.

A minute later, three figures flew past the top of the Ash City building. Although the movement was not big, it was definitely impossible to ignore. If it had been before, dark creatures would have leapt up and swarmed up.

However, as soon as the dark creatures in the streets on the ground were eager to attack and felt the terrifying aura of the leader, they immediately lowered their heads and hid in dormancy.

Some even hid in dark corners and shivered.

This is because Ka Xiu discovered the magical power of the golem's aura. If he drives the golem's secret weapon in a special way, he can imitate a bit of the terrifying aura of the ultimate dark body. This kind of breath is simply terrifying to dark creatures, and it is the dangerous smell of an apex predator.

Except for the disaster spirits, wild beasts and wild beasts are afraid to turn around and run away when they encounter Kaxiu.

This is an instinctive fear engraved in genes.

In addition, Ka Xiu also discovered a magical phenomenon. If he wraps his body with the spirit of a demon, the degree of disaster erosion will be greatly reduced.

It can only achieve one-third or even one-quarter of the original effect.

In other words, the time that Card Xiu can be exposed to the disaster world has been greatly extended. It's about forty-five to sixty hours, two days to two and a half days. This also means that he can explore deeper.

Such as the pale earth, such as the shelter towers in other areas.

Ten minutes later, the group safely arrived at the shelter tower.

The expression on the face under the Iron Knight's mask was somewhat complicated. The partner that I and Ghost are working with this time is indeed quite awesome. He saw clearly along the way, those vicious dark creatures, and his eyes became much clearer after feeling Card Xiu's breath. He looked like a mouse meeting a cat.

Plus what the ghost said before. There are no more ten Ash City Lords in Ash City, and now there are only four bereaved dogs that are hiding in Tibet.

The crystal core of Ash City Lord that can continuously restore clones was stolen by the ghost. As for the six clones that disappeared, they were all killed.

It's the one in front of me.

After all, Ash City is a remote small area in the Pale Land. Apart from the Lord of Ash City, there is no real terrifying danger. Kaxiu has even solved the Lord of Ash City, so he can run rampant in Ash City.

Iron Knight originally thought that the ghost man said that Kaxiu saved his life, meaning that he snatched food from the tiger's mouth and saved the ghost man. Unexpectedly, the reality is that Kaxiu rushed up and chopped off the tiger's head with one knife, and the ghost man was naturally saved.

The concepts of the two are completely on a different level.

The stone door opened, and everyone entered the shelter tower.

The ghost man and the iron knight immediately felt the disaster in their bodies, which gradually dissipated. The effect of the shelter that Kaxiu said was true.

So, the two of them accepted the injection of Kaxiu's demon seed. The location is the little finger of the left hand. Even if there is an accident, the cost of cutting it off is not very high.

After a rest, on the first floor of the tower, under the pale light.

The three people clarified the main purpose of this exploration of the world of disaster.

"Undead Cemetery"

As for the reason, of course, the Undead Cemetery is located in the southeast corner of the Pale Land, relatively close to the Ash City. In addition, the black gas and blood light can be seen from a distance. This feature is easy to find and the simplest.

The only thing to be vigilant is that the Undead Cemetery is haunted by the dark creature Blood Slaughter. This is a disaster spirit level with strong offensiveness and combat power.

The real world is not the same as the disaster world. The undeadness of the dark creatures here has been greatly improved, and the disaster spirits are almost immortal. Any disaster spirit. For the souls of the same level, it is a very difficult existence.

This is why, when Kaxiu killed seven disaster spirits in a row, the Iron Knight was shocked. That requires crushing strength and special means.

The two kinds of power of Nan Dou Fist are undoubtedly the nemesis of immortality.

The reason why Kaxiu plans to explore the Undead Cemetery is because this place is likely to be related to the sages who created Nan Dou Fist in ancient times. Perhaps, some secrets left behind in the past can be found.

It would be great if he could find traces of other Nan Dou Fist techniques there. Kaxiu felt that he might have gained something this time.

Coming down from the second floor of the Shelter Tower, Kaxiu held a roll of parchment in his hand, which was a simple map of the Pale Land. With the Soul Master's Certificate and the induction of the Shelter Tower, he could find his position and direction.

Everything is ready, let's go...
