Chapter 402: Rough Solution (4300)
The night sky above was pitch black, as if a huge curtain had blocked out the stars. Only the bright moon was left hanging quietly, half of it was blocked by wisps of clouds. The moonlight was as cold as the evening breeze.
This was a central garden with a small circular white stone square. The square was surrounded by steps, high and low, and the edges were surrounded by circles of flower beds with clusters of flowers. It exuded a faint fragrance in the cold wind.
The central garden served as a dividing area. The west side was connected to the bustling night market places such as Happy Street, and the east side was close to hotels, restaurants, tailor shops, clothing stores and other places for daily necessities. The north and south ends led directly to the main road, which could be said to be the entire northern section of the fourth district of Florence.
This was also the possible area that Kaxiu drew on the map.
Under the hazy moonlight, a strong figure in black clothes appeared on a step. He was holding a torch that had just burned for a short time.
The top of the dark torch had an abnormal flame.
This is a dark green light, similar to the eyes of a wolf, which gives people a creepy feeling. Especially when moving, the dark green flame jumps and extends towards the air behind, leaving a narrow tail flame, which looks a bit scary. But in fact, it is just the airflow aroma produced after the black bait wood burns. Ignited by the flame, it burns briefly in the air.
Kaxiu stood at the top of the stairs and quickly swept his eyes across the front.
The location here is really good, with many connections. The airflow emitted by the black bait wood will attract dark creatures in no time.
He strode forward and placed the torch in the middle of the square with a stone.
A faint odor like burning paint spread. This thing doesn't smell good in human noses, but dark creatures flock to it.
Especially the black bait wood given by the ghost is big and thick, and the quality needs no explanation. The more and stronger smell it emits is very tempting.
Kaxiu took a step back, and his figure was completely shrouded in darkness. He leaned against a corner of the wall, quietly waiting for the ghoul to deliver the goods to his door.
At 8:30 in the evening, in the fourth district of Florence, a quiet street.
A young man dressed in black and with a cold breath stood under the candlelight. This is a crossroads, and the forked candlestick like a street lamp is burning silently.
The shadow cast by the young man on the ground is huge and terrifying. If you look closely, you can find that each tentacle has a spike.
Huh... a breeze blew towards him from a distance, and his clothes fluttered.
Solomon frowned slightly, and he felt a very faint odor in the air. Turning his head, Solomon walked towards another street.
Five minutes later, at the intersection of a dim alley. He suddenly stopped and raised his head with a slightly flickering look. The sin thorn reacted, and the dark creature was indeed in the fourth district, and it acted tonight. The energy breath left in the air was fresh and rich, and the dark creature did not pass for more than half an hour! This made Solomon happy.
Five days later, the mission finally made significant progress. If he is lucky, he can completely finish the first round of assessment tonight.
Solomon raised his foot and immediately rushed in one direction.
On the other side, at the intersection of the commercial district and the residential area, four or five streets served as the main roads. Two of the adjacent streets were separated by a row of buildings. On the top of the tallest building, the lion king Soth sat cross-legged. While practicing the Crazy Lion Fist, he paid attention to the surrounding movements.
His body aura rolled and his eyes were bloodshot. After more than ten minutes, the chaotic aura gradually calmed down and the bloodshot disappeared by half.
An important reason why Soth dared to drink a large amount of holy spring water in a short period of time was that he had practiced the Crazy Lion Fist for more than ten years. The boxing method has the function of regulating the body's aura, balancing the spirit, and stabilizing the will. Although it cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can still temporarily suppress the onset of side effects.
This gave Soth the capital to compete for the Shadow Hunter again.
In fact, he had already made up his mind, and the position of Shadow Hunter was bound to be won. After being baptized by the source of the holy spring water, the side effects caused by taking a large amount of holy spring water now will also be suppressed. At that time, he would use his Shadow Hunter-level strength and the royal family's connections to find the other parts of the Crazy Lion Fist. After the completion, the impact of the side effects would be minimized.
This is the ideal state in Soth's mind.
Now, the most important thing is to catch the dark creature Xiaoyan first.
"Hmm?"
Soth suddenly perked up and his eyes became sharp. His sight passed through a distance of dozens of meters and projected the shadow of a house on a street. A canine-sized alien quickly shuttled and ran forward.
The whole process was silent, and it was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"An ordinary beast-level..."
Soth retracted his gaze and did not choose to attack. He did not want to alert the enemy and let his target Xiaoyan be prepared in advance.
It took about a minute to calm down and adjust his breath.
Soth suddenly turned his head and looked at another street. A group of gray mist the size of a human head floated low in the sky, and its simulated shape looked like a head. If someone encountered such a thing in the middle of the night, I'm afraid they would faint on the spot. This is a beast-level dark creature, the Gray Mist Head. It prefers to be quiet and not active, and loves to find a place to hide and forage.
"..."
Sous glanced at the Gray Mist Head and frowned slightly.
Half a minute later, another dark creature passed by. This time, Sos was not calm, he felt something was wrong. One after another, the dark creatures seemed to be heading towards the commercial district.
There, something seemed to be happening.
Sous waited for another two or three minutes with doubts in his heart. During this time, two beast-level dark creatures passed by, in a hurry, with a very clear target. He stood up immediately and jumped down from the roof.
Following the tail of the last dark creature, he followed it.
The third district of Florence, a complex of buildings near the Imperial Museum.
Under the hazy moonlight, a half-human, half-wolf dark creature suddenly jumped out of the alley. Its reverse-jointed legs stepped on the top of the wall, and the dark mane on the surface of its body danced wildly. It opened its narrow and ferocious wolf mouth and greedily took a breath of air. The hair on its body swelled up and glowed faintly.
The werewolf's head locked onto a direction and jumped away.
Behind it, several more dark creatures were attracted.
Nearly a hundred meters away, Claire watched all this quietly. She stretched out her slender fingers and pinched the crystal earring on her right ear, and the inside of the earring slowly turned red. Claire turned around silently and followed the werewolf's trail.
In the fourth district of Florence, in the central garden, the torch made of black bait wood had burned a quarter. Kaxiu's perception covered the surroundings, waiting for the rabbit. The ghost said that the black bait wood was very effective, and such a large black bait wood was even more effective. Kaxiu wanted to see how good it could be, although he felt that if he could lure out the ghouls tonight, it would be a success.
Time passed by minute by minute, around 8:40 in the evening.
In a flower bed at the edge of the central garden, a young man dressed like a tailor's apprentice hid behind the flowers and plants. He was hunched over, and with one hand he pushed aside the branches and leaves and looked through the gap. His eyes were fixed on the center of the square, full of greed and boiling hunger.
The young man blinked his eyes, and every time he opened and closed them. There was an extra black pupil in his two eyeballs. After dozens of blinks, the eyeballs were full of densely packed black pupils. Like disgusting insect eggs.
He breathed heavily, greedily inhaling the aroma. His mouth opened wider and wider, and a coiled scarlet tongue fell down. It was full of tumors like a chameleon, and there was a sharp mouth on the end of the flesh.
"Smells good... smells good... must... must get it!"
The young man muttered to himself, as if he was crazy. He took another deep breath of air and stepped back twice. With a bang, his back seemed to be against a thick wall. However, the wall still exuded a hot body temperature, as if an invisible huge magnetic field suddenly enveloped it.
"Hiss..."
The young man felt that the air around him was escaping frantically under pressure. He couldn't move at all, and only heard the person behind him say.
"Does it smell good? It's a pity that it's not prepared for you... hehe..."
After the voice fell, the young man didn't have time to react, he only felt a pain in his head, and his perspective rotated 360 degrees. He saw a thick arm holding his hair and a headless corpse. The next second, a terrible vibration frequency penetrated into the deepest part of his head.
Suddenly, everything went dark, and there was no light in front of him.
A minute later, a skinned two-headed hound jumped down from the top of the stairs and rushed madly towards the torch in the middle of the square. In midair, a spiral twisted purple javelin whizzed through the sky and penetrated horizontally.
The two-headed hound was carried to the other side by the huge force, and with a bang.
It was directly blown to pieces by the explosive power contained in the roaring sound gun. Bones, flesh and blood flew everywhere, falling like scarlet drizzle.
They were all a bunch of scum, only beast-level. It didn't matter if the ghouls didn't come for the time being, but at least a few wild beast-level ones came to give Kaxiu a snack.
In the next few minutes, dark creatures kept coming from all directions. Without exception, all of them were doomed. Either they were nailed in the flowerbed and turned into fertilizer, or their flesh and blood were evenly spread on the square.
Kaxiu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there were so many dark creatures hiding in the fourth district. In fact, of course, this is not just the fourth district. If you look down from the sky, you will find that the dark creatures in the third, fourth and fifth districts of Florence are all rioting and rushing to the central garden.
The effect of the arm-thick black bait wood is much better than expected.
At this point, Kaxiu is no longer hiding. He stands directly in the center of the square, anyway, there are corpses of dark creatures everywhere around him. The scent of black bait wood is more attractive to dark creatures than their instinct of fear, and dark creatures continue to come to die.
The air is filled with the smell of blood. Kaxiu looks at the slowly burning torch and secretly feels that this thing is really a good thing. It is worthy of being a precious material that requires extremely high authority to be exchanged in Black Rain Villa.
If the ghost man had not completed the disaster world mission twice to increase his authority level, he might not be qualified to buy this arm-thick black bait wood.
Kaxiu secretly thought in his heart that he would ask the ghost man to exchange a few more when he meets next time. It is better to be prepared, maybe it will be used at any time.
Suddenly, a low-lying figure moved very quickly from the west side of the central garden. She was wearing a tattered white robe, and her gray hair was one or two meters long. Her exposed skin was covered with green scales, her face was ugly like an eagle, and her eyes were hollow. Her left hand was normal, but her right palm was a round tumor, with a smooth mucus on the surface, like a divination ball.
The green witch stretched out her right hand, and her claw-like right hand scratched the surface of the tumor, and a trace of blue blood flowed down. Suddenly, the plants in the many flower beds in the central garden rushed out and grew wildly at a speed thousands of times faster. And they all showed an alienated state, with spikes and scales on the surface.
They didn't look like plants, but more like poisonous snakes in the sea.
Swish!
The roots of plants in four or five flower beds around Kaxiu broke out of the ground.
A large number of alienated branches and trunks broke through the air like iron whips, densely packed, covering every corner around, weaving a tree net.
"The tooth-eater is here..."
Kaxiu still stood in the same place, slowly raised his hands, and the ends of his ten fingers were scarlet like blazing fire. His fingers gently drew two large circles in the air, and the remaining blood-colored arcs fluttered in the wind.
Crackling, crackling... Ding Ding Ding...
All the alienated roots and stems were cut into pieces, and when they fell to the ground, there was a texture of metal collision.
Obviously, under the control of the green ghost woman, these plants were as hard as steel. Moreover, the thorns seemed to carry some toxins.
In the rain of plant roots and stems, Kaxiu turned and looked at the green ghost woman from a distance.
The green ghost woman screamed and waved her left hand, obviously to control the alienated roots and stems to attack again. However, the plants that had just been attacked did not react at all. The green ghost woman waved her hand again in confusion, but saw the alienated flowers and plants in the four or five flower beds around her exploded into sawdust on the spot with a bang.
Even the roots at the bottom were torn into pieces by the dead teeth.
"!!!"
The green ghost woman seemed to be angry. She grabbed the surface of the tumor on her right hand with all five fingers, leaving five blood marks at once. Then her palm pointed to the largest tree in the central garden, which was more than eight meters high and could be hugged by two people.
Suddenly, the big tree was alienated, and the old bark on the surface turned into the color of steel plate, and strange rotating lines wrapped around the tree trunk.
In the center of the trunk, an old and hideous face gradually appeared.
The whole tree body exploded, reaching 1.5 times its original height in one breath, and the flower bed was gradually cracked. The roots at the bottom were intertwined and turned into feet, and the branches and leaves were twisted, as if they had turned into two big hands. The old face at the trunk position became clearer and clearer, and he opened his eyes in a flash.
It was about to open its mouth to roar.
Bang! A fist was thrust into its mouth.
Rumble! The entire tree was broken with its face as the center.
Kaxiu's entire arm was sunk into the trunk, and yellow sawdust flowed out from the gap between the hole and his arm like running water. His broad shoulders stretched back slightly, and his arm turned into an axe blade, and with one force! The giant tree was cut into two sections horizontally, and the ten-meter-long trunk fell down. With a bang, it was supported by Kaxiu's shoulders, and the soil suddenly sank, and the shoes were lifted up again.
Kaxiu turned around and looked at the green ghost woman fifty or sixty meters away, and smiled grimly. With one step, the entire flower bed collapsed under the huge force.
He hugged the trunk and flew out, as if holding a giant battering ram. He rushed straight towards the green ghost woman at the speed of a train!
The green ghost woman looked panicked, and she summoned all the alienated plants around to stop him. But either they couldn't keep up with the speed, or they were smashed to pieces.
The speed of the tree trunk didn't change at all, and it bombarded him.
"Show mercy under the tree!"
Suddenly, a cold-faced young man in the distance was shocked. It was Solomon. He had just caught up with the target of the mission, the green ghost woman, and found that the alien species that he had finally found the clue seemed to be killed by Kaxiu again.
"No..."
