Chapter 452 Retreat

Legend has it that this weapon was made from Baal's blood. Before Baal ascended to godhood, when Baal was still a mortal, he had committed his first murder in the city of Baldur's Gate.

But he failed in that murder. As a new assassin, Baal's blood flowed into the land of the lower city of Baldur's Gate with that failure. After he ascended to godhood, the dried blood condensed into this weapon in the land.

In the cult of the God of Murder, many blasphemous assassins knew the story of this weapon, and all the assassins who heard this story thought it was just a legend, but Xie Nian knew that it was not some illusory story.

This story is true. This weapon was indeed born from Baal's purest holy blood, just like Xie Nian himself (if we talk about seniority, this dagger should be Xie Nian's brother?), it and him are of the same origin, and this weapon also comes with Baal's deepest blessing.

Anything pierced by this weapon will have no way to survive. As long as it is pierced lightly, the blood of the God of Murder will flow through the wound and flow freely in his body, stabbing and cutting, starting from his internal organs, and cutting his body into pieces of meat and residue bit by bit.

Only the children of the God of Murder can withstand this test, and only the children of the God of Murder can survive the test of holy blood. Apart from this, anyone pierced by bloodthirstiness will die!

‘Oh… I seem to hear some movement. ’

The evil thought suddenly stopped while moving. He leaned against the wall and listened attentively… It was indeed not an illusion. Something was coming towards this side at a fairly uniform speed.

The footsteps of the person coming were a little heavy. The sound of the footsteps between the footsteps proved that the person coming was obviously a four-legged creature. The sound made by the walking evil thought had no impression at all. He had never heard any similar four-legged creature sound.

However, considering that this is the Underdark, you may encounter anything in this ghost place, so Xie Nian did not think much about it. The four-legged creature did not meet Xie Nian's action goal this time. He just regarded it as an undiscovered new animal.

If it was normal, Xie Nian would be very interested in taking a look. If he found that the other party was really rare, then Xie Nian would add a few more collections to his study, including the new brain, heart, and smooth fur of the new creature.

But now, he just wanted to find his stolen crown as soon as possible. He was not sure whether Gotash knew that the main brain was killed and the crown was stolen? But even if he didn't know, the alliance between the three gods of death could basically be called dead in name only.

As time went by, the collapse of this alliance was almost inevitable, but before this really happened, Xie Nian still wanted to take back the crown first, take the initiative, and then ask Gotash if he could come up with any new ideas that could be realized with the crown? So that their ship that was about to capsize could continue to sail.

But if even Gotash doesn't have any good ideas, then Xie Nian will take back the property he has worked so hard to get, and find a way to spread Baal's reputation through the crown.

Xie Nian hid his entire body in the most inconspicuous angle inside the tunnel. At the same time, his figure became transparent until he completely disappeared. He planned to wait for the unknown creature to leave before moving on.

However, as time went by, Xie Nian suddenly realized that things didn't seem that simple. As the heavy footsteps got closer and closer, Xie Nian first saw a flashing red light rushing up from deep underground, followed by the sound of blades cutting through rocks, and a strange smell of burning came from the air.

These visions made Xie Nian have very bad associations, but when he saw the source of all this, he finally confirmed his guess.

'...What kind of monster is this. '

Xie Nian saw a huge feline predator made of steel. The animal was covered in armor, and there was a hot flame coming from the gaps between the armor. He also saw his partner.

The arrogant General Catheric Thom, a dignified general and the majestic Chosen One, was now like a bone toy held by a dog, hanging in the air, following the rhythm of the iron beast, swaying, and occasionally spewing a little fire.

Xie Nian did not see Catheric's head, but just by looking at this scene, he could understand what kind of fate Catheric's head was suffering now.

He also saw the enemy he had been thinking about, Noshir, who killed the mastermind and stole the artifact. He was sitting on the monster, carrying a huge axe on one shoulder and playing with a scarlet slender dagger in the other hand.

Xie Nian recognized the true face of the dagger. It was Olin's weapon, a legendary dagger called [Scarlet Trick].

If the appearance alone was not enough to confirm whether this person was Noshir, then from the moment the dagger was taken out, Xie Nian had completely locked onto this enemy, and at the moment the enemy's position was determined, Xie Nian began to quietly approach Noshir, but he had just taken a step out of the shadows with his invisible body.

"Who's there?"

The predator suddenly stopped moving forward, and Noshir immediately flapped his wings and jumped off the beast. Seeing this, Xie Nian also stopped the next step.

This dark and silent cave became even quieter for a moment, but both Xie Nian and Noshir felt an inexplicable chill.

With the powerful perception given by the crown, the barbarian's dangerous instinct, and the extraordinary sixth sense of the wolf totem, Noshir felt something unusual a few seconds after Xie Nian attempted to attack.

Although it was only a particularly weak feeling, and even though he still hadn't determined the enemy's position until now, and wasn't even sure if there was really any danger here, after all, he hadn't seen anything, but even so, Noshir chose to trust his intuition and took a response posture.

Noshir stood in place, put away the giant axe and dagger, and greeted the unknown opponent in the dark with his bare hands and the lightest fighting posture.

Xie Nian in the dark also stopped further action. Like Noshir, as a son of God, he was born with the dangerous instinct of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. The moment Noshir got off the predator, he also sensed an unspeakable sense of crisis.

Although the enemy had put away their weapons, leaving only their bare fists, Xie Nian still had a feeling that as long as he took a few steps closer, as long as he showed a slight tendency to attack, as long as he entered the dangerous range, then what would greet him would only be a violent storm of blows!

This feeling was so strong that for Nohsil and Xie Nian, this resistance to danger was an instinct, and now the instincts between the two were like sharp needles that pierced their hearts.

Their sixth sense was frantically telling their respective masters, before both of you take the next step, can you accept the final bitter fruit?

Regarding this point, Xie Nian's own sixth sense brought him a more serious warning than Nohsil. After all, in an assassination, if the target of the assassination is not on guard, then the assassin will undoubtedly have the advantage, but once the target is on guard, the assassin will become passive from active.

At this time, if the enemy and us launch an attack, as long as the level difference between us is not big, the opponent will most likely be able to react, and in this kind of battle, if the enemy can react...
