Chapter 401 The Next Shadow Hunter Will Definitely Be You (4000)
On the first day of the competition for the Shadow Hunter seat, a mission target was hunted. It's a pity that Ka Xiu caught the wrong one. I accidentally completed the mission of Solomon of Thorns, which was a small mistake.
He still overestimated his luck.
Since he was out of luck, Ka Xiu could only act as planned. The black bait wood in Black Rain Villa that can attract dark creatures should be able to help him. Ka Xiu originally planned to contact the ghost man through special channels at noon, but was delayed by the invisible assassin.
He gave up because they could meet again in the evening anyway.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cardiff returned to the house of the old hunter Herb.
As soon as he entered the lobby on the first floor, he saw all the old hunters waiting for him quietly. Hearing the movement around the corner, all eyes focused on Ka Xiu.
"It's a pity that it's not that ghoul. Otherwise, you could have completed the assessment at noon on the first day." Jem shook his head and said with emotion.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have the strength. It doesn't matter which day we finish it. If we can solve an A-level dangerous target invisible assassin, we can also solve the ghoul hiding in the business district."
Kroger said solemnly, his tone was quite confident. In other words, he is quite confident in Kaxiu's strength. After all, he was the main force in the previous competition between the old hunters and Card Xiu. He knows Ka Xiu’s power best.
For a proper and regular Shadow Hunter level master to complete the task of competing for the Shadow Hunter spot is like an adult bullying a child. If it weren't for the strict and important procedures within the Hunter Association, otherwise Card Xiu would have directly shown his true strength and his hunter level would have soared long ago.
"Yes, there is not much difference if you finish it earlier or later. After all, this is an assessment and screening for individuals. Being the first to take the lead will not give you an advantage. At most, it will put more pressure on others." Kames said.
"It doesn't matter anyway, the next shadow hunter will definitely be you."
Rudy, who was sitting on the sofa with a cane in his hand, sounded certain.
Just a few days ago, he was supporting Claire the Siren. Now he changed his mind to support card repair, and began to vaguely advise Claire to give up as soon as possible. There is no doubt that the fifth shadow hunter will complete the game.
There were a total of six old hunters in the lobby on the first floor, and there was no nervousness from other forces at all. Instead, the table was piled with snacks and tea, and they were chatting quietly. As if the fight for Shadow Hunters hasn't begun yet.
Their support for Ka Xiu will not waver, not only because of Ka Xiu's absolute strength, but also because Ka Xiu helps them get rid of the disasters that have accumulated in their bodies for many years. For these old hunters who have been fighting dark creatures all year round, they can endure the physical injuries, but the mental madness is helpless. They hate dark creatures the most, and it is simply an insult to use the holy spring water all year round, leading to the chaotic beastization in their later years. The old hunters would rather die than turn into creatures of darkness.
Therefore, many old hunters feel that their will can no longer hold on. After arranging funeral arrangements, he will take his own life himself.
In order to avoid completely turning into a beast and becoming what you hate the most.
Kaxiu’s fist therapy physical therapy method undoubtedly solves this problem. The old hunters were grateful and respected him.
They want Ka Xiu to become a shadow hunter and hold a high position in the association.
In this case, this kind of physical therapy may be able to expand in scale.
Help more hunters in the Hunter Association who urgently need to solve the problem of beastization. Rather than letting these warriors commit suicide helplessly.
Of course, until Card Xiu is willing to reveal that he has this physical healing method, the old hunters will remain tight-lipped, all based on his wishes. The old hunters have that idea, but they don't distinguish between priorities.
Time passed and it was dusk.
A tall figure stood on the half-moon-shaped balcony, quietly looking at the green vegetation and white walls below. This is a single-family home near the Hunters Association, originally the house of old hunter Rudy. In the past few days, Rudy gave him to Cardiff. It was not very convenient to live in the Hunter Apartment all the time. With a private space, Ka Xiu can obviously feel more comfortable.
The warm air of dusk blew through my hair, and the leaves rustled. The red and yellow sky gradually dimmed, and at the end of the clouds, the sunset fell.
Ka Xiu turned around and went back indoors, sitting on the sofa in a relaxed posture.
With the eyes closed, the evidence of the soul comes into play.
Open your eyes, heaven and earth change, this is a world of disaster.
He stayed for a moment and left the shelter tower directly. About twenty minutes later, Card Xiu met the Ghost Man Iron Knight in a corner of Ashes City.
As soon as they met, he asked the ghost man to do something for him.
The more black bait wood, the better, and the sooner you can get it, the better.
Feilengcui is in the north of the Hongli Empire, while Black Rain Villa is in the Anta Mountains, in the southeastern region of the empire. There were no trains in this era, and transportation was not very convenient. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth.
Of course, if you don’t have the power of technology to rush, you can use extraordinary power to shorten the time. Not even slower than a train. The ghost is a top knight, he has many methods, and he has his own connections.
The conversation between the two lasted less than five minutes.
After a while, the three people left Ash City and headed to the southwest corner of the pale earth. A few days ago, they had completed the mission of the Undead Cemetery with the minimum requirement of ten disaster spirit-level skeletons. Although it was the lowest level to complete the task, the two people's imprint authority was still improved.
In addition, a large amount of secret soul power was exchanged.
A total of one thousand units!
Completing a task can get so much secret soul power, and that's at the lowest level. It's conceivable that each disaster world task is valuable. As the main force in exploring the undead cemetery, Kaxiu was allocated 600 units of secret soul power, while the ghost iron knights were allocated 200 each.
Secret soul power is useful to them, but not precious. Among the task rewards, the one that is more precious than secret soul power is undoubtedly the authority upgrade.
The ghost stole the crystal of the lord of the disaster city and submitted it to the villa. That authority upgrade has already given the ghost a great benefit, and this upgrade is all-round. More task options, more exchangeable items, villa expansion services, and the opening of the villa's secret areas... too many.
Therefore, the ghost iron knight is looking forward to cooperation with Kaxiu.
They want to maintain a good relationship and continue to cooperate like this.
In addition, the 600 units of secret soul power that Kaxiu obtained have been used up. Used to neutralize the 800 units of holy spring water he obtained.
As always, the pale land was filled with ashes and snow fell. The trio began to head to the southwest corner, looking for the horn-shaped mountain. It was the lair of the dead, and it was likely that half of the dead in the entire pale land gathered there. Kaxiu wanted to find the Howling Canyon, not only because of the soul jade that could nourish the spirit, but also because he had always longed to fight with the spirit of the dead fighters from ancient times to the present. Every sharp sword was born after countless bloody chopping and quenching forging.
Kaxiu wanted to achieve the realm of holy fist, and he had to fight hundreds of thousands of battles.
In this way, during the day he tracked the traces of the mission target ghouls in the real world, and at night he looked for the Howling Canyon in the disaster world. There were some small episodes in the middle, such as when tracking ghouls in the real world. Kaxiu met the lion king Soth, and the two met in the alley.
The two sides paused for a few seconds, and finally did not fight.
Kaxiu could feel that Soth seemed to be much more confident and his aura was much stronger. However, his aura was a little disordered, and his eyes were a little cloudy.
I don't know what he did in the past half month.
Of course, Kaxiu didn't want to know. So what if Soth had the help of the royal family behind him? Can he be promoted to the level of Holy Light Hunter by force?
Impossible.
What's more...
Even if it is a Holy Light Hunter, it may not be Kaxiu's opponent now.
And when Kaxiu recovers his physique to the peak period, the Holy Light Hunter will definitely not be his opponent. In Kaxiu's perception, the strength and aura of the current president of the Hunter Association, Lei Yu Dilixiati, has not reached the level of an extreme fighter. I just don't know what the level of the head of the agency army is.
This is the situation in the real world. Kaxiu in the disaster world also gained something. He met a dead spirit while searching for the Howling Canyon.
After a battle, Kaxiu's Nan Dou Hong Jiu Quan broke through to the eighteenth acupoint. Nan Dou Yin Snake Quan also broke through to the eighteenth due to resonance. He is one step closer to the third stage of Nan Dou strength.
Time flies, and five days have passed since the start of the Shadow Hunter Qualification Competition. That night, Kaxiu received the black bait wood sent by the ghost. It was a big one, as thick as a normal person's forearm.
He couldn't help but sigh that the ghost was serious and positive in his work.
You know, according to the ghost's previous description. Black bait wood only needs a thumb-sized section to attract dark creatures through fragrance.
And now it is as thick as a forearm, a full length of a hand bone.
If this thing is lit, it will definitely be a piece of ghouls. Kaxiu nodded secretly, and couldn't help but feel that the ghost was thoughtful.
Today is July 27th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, a heavy rain has just ended. The cool rain moistened the heat of the city of Florence, the dust was washed into the ditch, and the air had a fresh smell.
The sky was as blue as if it had been washed by a rag, clear and bright.
A few white clouds were floating and swaying, blocking a small part of the sun's rays.
A single-family house, Kaxiu retracted his gaze. It shouldn't rain again today, so I'll just finish the task in the evening.
As a big city, Florence actually has many dark creatures. But they will never go to the seventh district, the second district, and the first district. There are the headquarters of the Dark Hunting Organization, the Red Lebanese Parliament, and the Imperial Royal Family. So the action locations of dark creatures are in the four major commercial and residential districts.
According to intelligence, the ghouls are active in the third and fourth districts, and there are several possible areas with dense traffic. Kaxiu plans to make a torch with black bait wood as thick as his forearm, and walk through those places while burning it. This is called fishing in broad daylight.
Anyone who dares to come here will never run away.
At the same time, Florence residential area, the fifth district.
Soth's investigation has reached a critical moment. After five days of collecting intelligence and field visits, he has gradually found the activity pattern of the mission target. The dark creature used to be active in the fourth and fifth districts, and would hunt every once in a while. According to the situation of the last hunt, the mission target is now in the fifth district, and will enter the bustling night market in the fourth district tonight or tomorrow night to find the target.
And what Soth has to do is to patrol back and forth on several main roads.
In this way, there is at least a 30% to 50% chance of catching the other party!
As for the battle with the dark creatures, Soth is not worried at all. He has not improved in vain by drinking the holy spring water crazily for the past half month. While paying the side effect of affecting his sanity, his strength has also made great progress.
He will definitely be the first to complete the assessment task.
On the other side, Thorn Solomon was also taking action. He was unlucky on the first day of the assessment mission, and the mission target was accidentally hunted by Kaxiu in advance. So, Solomon had to change to another mission.
Compared with the invisible assassin, this dark creature is obviously much more cautious. The breath left in several urban areas is pitiful, which makes Solomon's sinful thorn secret technique almost useless. Helplessly, he can only honestly look for clues and eliminate areas bit by bit. It was not until today that he had some gains. The dark creature is now mostly hiding in the fourth district.
Solomon plans to be more diligent in the next few days and make use of his rest time. Otherwise, he will be eliminated without even passing the first round of the assessment.
He has even prepared to ask Candle Soul for help. After all, both sides have reasons to let Solomon become a shadow hunter himself.
In the third district of Florence, Claire stood on the balcony of a building, staring closely at an area in front. Her mission progress can be said to be the fastest among the four people. Claire almost locked the location of the mission target.
It is in the large building in front.
Now, all that was left was to lure the snake out of its hole. Claire planned to wait until night.
At that time, the dark creatures would be active and show themselves.
The four people each had their own advantages and plans.
The sun rose and the moon set, and the time came to eight o'clock in the evening. A waning moon hung on the branches, half-hidden by the clouds. The sky was dark, and the stars were invisible. In the hazy night, a figure left the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization. He had a clear goal and went straight to the fourth district of Florence.
Ten minutes later, the night market was still prosperous on the streets of the Florence commercial district. The candlelight was bright, and shops were opened one after another. From time to time, a carriage with a metal frame and exquisite shape passed by and stopped in the open space next to Joy Street.
Every night is always the most active time for the erotic industry.
A few streets away, in a dark and quiet alley. A strong figure leaned against the wall, his arms folded and disappeared in the darkness.
The whole person was motionless, with his eyes closed.
It was like a human statue with sharp contours and rigid lines.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes. He looked at the waning moon covered by dark clouds above his head and took out a black torch from his arms. The end of the torch slid across the rough wall. Suddenly, the flames burned.
