About a quarter of an hour had passed since the assassination operation began.
The manor above was probably full of blood, but the sewer was peaceful, except for the gurgling sound of dirty water and the occasional squeaking of mice.
... .
The "Weasel Phantom Thieves" are all professional assassins, and assassinations are usually completed quietly.
But this time, something unexpected happened.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.
The fire blasted through the floor, and the air surged violently into the ground. In this sealed sewer pipe, the movement became more and more deafening.
The sudden change made Tiger bounce up like an old dog whose tail was stepped on.
This guy who looked like a drunkard a second ago suddenly turned into a cold vicious dog in the dark, staring sharply into the depths of the pipe.
He looked at the big hole that had been blasted through the sewer pipe, and muttered to himself: "Eh... That's strange, boss, how could they make such a big noise... Could it be that there was an accident?"
Before he could say anything, the newcomers immediately became alert.
Renn also took out the dagger from his holster and pointed at the source of the explosion with a serious expression.
He glanced at Tiger, who was sneaking and hiding in the darkness, and secretly rejoiced that it was the right choice not to act rashly.
At this moment, the "Zhi Nao" suddenly sounded the beep again.
[Ding! warn! Invasion of deadly unknown neurotoxin found, direction →... Mild paralysis, about to fall into coma, please inject antidote immediately.]
[Ding! The concentration continues to rise and is expected to reach the fatal concentration in 1.3 seconds. Please evacuate the dangerous area in time!]
1.3 seconds, no time for people to react.
"not good!"
Without any hesitation, Renn magically took out an antidote from his hand, and then stabbed it into his thigh.
This was something he secretly saved during his new training, and now it comes in handy.
While pricking the needle, he quickly retreated in the direction indicated by the toxin without hesitation.
He is still wearing a gas mask, and the toxins have invaded the respiratory tract without any obstruction. How deadly can the toxins be
Instinct made him not care about exposing his trump card and immediately chose to escape!
... .
"9527, what are you doing!"
On the other hand, Tiger's pupils shrank suddenly when he saw Ren's sudden retreat.
He was not only shocked by this newcomer's strange behavior, but also marveled at the amazing speed this guy showed.
[Sprinting] is a basic displacement skill that thieves must learn. Everyone in the "Weasel Group" knows it and can burst into super high speeds in an instant.
But Tiger found that the speed that the newcomer had just exploded was much higher than what he had imagined.
This is definitely not something that ordinary newcomers can do!
This batch of newcomers was brought out by him. This 9527, who in his mind had mediocre qualifications, usually only had an explosive speed of about 11 or 12 meters per second in the "quick step" test, which was just a passing level.
At this moment, he actually broke out at a super high speed of nearly 15 meters per second!
This level... although not as good as the Awakened, is far superior to all newcomers of the same level!
The other two newcomers were also shocked. How could they suddenly become so powerful when they were obviously "lower" in training and assessment
Could it be that the guy wanted to seize the opportunity of the explosion to escape
... ..
"He's actually so skilled in movement skills... Could it be that that boy is hiding his clumsiness?"
Tiger instantly understood something, he had made a mistake!
This taciturn newcomer is probably the ruthless one who hides the deepest.
Although he was surprised, he sneered at the same time: Even so, it is impossible to escape from my hands!
But in an instant, another doubt flashed through Tiger's mind: "The supplies that newcomers carry are all standard. Where did he get the potion from? Is it some kind of storage space?"
It was obvious that Tiger had just noticed Ren's strange behavior of injecting a potion into himself.
"That seems to be the antidote in the training center. When did that guy secretly hide one..."
But reality didn't give him much time to think.
Suddenly, a sense of crisis hit Tiger's heart.
The experienced man's complexion changed drastically, and he immediately realized something.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Tiger waited until he saw a staggering figure rushing into the sewer from the explosion hole. He was about to escape, but a strong sense of dizziness hit his head.
Only then did he realize that this was deadly poisonous gas!
The poison spread very quickly, and the horrified expression in Tiger's eyes didn't even fully relax on his face, and the body collapsed to the ground helplessly.
The other two newcomers didn't even have a chance to react. They rolled their eyes and died instantly.
... .
"What happened? Someone really escaped from the sewer?!"
On the other hand, Ren sprinted all the way to avoid the poisonous air wave, but felt incredible in his heart.
Who would have thought that this assassination attempt by the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" would turn out to be an accident.
He looked at the figure "pursuing" behind him, and felt a chill in his heart.
Obviously, it was not Tiger, nor the other two newcomers... The terrifying toxin just now spread rapidly with the blast of air, and the three guys must have been cold by now before they had time to react.
"Isn't the person coming here an extraordinary person? Or maybe he's seriously injured..."
After running a few hundred meters, Ren suddenly felt something strange.
This guy didn't catch up with me
Then, before he could think about it, the staggering guy behind him suddenly fell to the ground, crawling in the sewage.
"died?"
Seeing this scene, Ren was stunned.
He stopped and held the dagger tightly in his hand.
A thought flashed through his mind: If the opponent was a transcendent person, it would be easy to kill him, so there would be no need to resort to such hard-to-get tactics. But if this guy wasn't a transcendent, it would be impossible for him to escape into the sewers from the siege of a group of assassins.
The only possibility is that this guy was really seriously injured and died.
Who is that person...
After only weighing it in his mind for a moment, Ren chose to take a closer look.
The concentration of poisonous mist around him showed that it was within a safe range, and he cautiously walked towards the fallen man.
The guy who fell to the ground had his mouth and nose half immersed in the sewage, and he was obviously dead.
There was a large amount of blood on the back of the corpse, and a black dagger was inserted.
Obviously, this is a fatal injury.
"This is... leader Quinn's enchanted dagger [Black-ridged Wolf Fang]?"
Ren recognized the dagger with a black light and a terrifying three-line blood groove inserted into the back of the corpse at a glance.
This is the exclusive extraordinary weapon of Quinn, the leader of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves".
This means that this knife was personally executed by the leader Quinn!
"He was able to escape under Quinn who had unlocked the third-level gene lock. Who is this guy..."
Renn had seen how powerful his leader Quinn was. An ordinary second-level transcendent couldn't survive a single move in his hands.
Being able to escape alive shows that this guy is not simple.
With doubts, Ren turned his head to look at the corpse's face. When he saw the bearded face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Isn't this the target of this assassination, Baron Morin?"
This face was very familiar to him. Before this operation, the target's photo had been remembered by everyone in the "Weasel Group".
Seeing this corpse right in front of him, Renn's heart skipped a beat.
Sneaking into a large territory to exterminate clans and kill imperial nobles is beyond the scope of what a normal Phantom Thieves group would do.
Since the upper echelons of the "Weasel Phantom Thieves" dare to take such a big risk this time, it means that this Baron Morin definitely has a big secret!
The poisonous gas in the explosion channel is still very strong, and the people above will probably have to wait for a while before they want to come down.
Renn glanced at the explosion hole not far away, and a crazy idea flashed through him for the first time.
"Touch the corpse!"
Although he was a little envious of the iron-cut dagger [Black-ridged Wolf Fang] on the corpse, he did not dare to move rashly, but carefully touched the body of Baron Morin.
