The first time Zuo Ci killed an adventurer who entered the game was the day after Zuo Ci had just reached level 20. He didn't know the opponent's name. The origin of the matter may have to start from the moment he was born—
Ten days ago, Zuo Ci woke up from the stalactite cave on the side of the Yazui Bay as a thief. When he first arrived in the world, the image given to him by the system was a dark and fit figure, a delicate and serious East Asian face, a pair of blue-green eyes, short red hair with a long and thin braid, and A shabby sackcloth. He looked around and saw white stalactites that were naturally shaped like a series of white skulls everywhere. The wonderful breath of death lingered in the space, expressing the world in a slightly artistic way from the very beginning. of bad.
After listening to the brief introduction of the game instructor Teresa, I walked out of the stalactite cave, and what appeared in front of me was a blood-red sea, echoing the red sky in different layers at sunset. Wild and desperate, he wants to swallow the whole world into the bloody light and shadow.
Zuo Ci saw the adventurer for the first time when he walked along the beach to Xinshou Village "Crow Blood Village". He was wearing a black suit that looked like a ninja suit. The black cloth covered half of his face. Wearing a bamboo hat, sitting by the sea and fishing quietly.
Every day after that, Zuo Ci would see him very regularly.
This person always squatted on one of the cross stakes close to the road on the mass grave on the left side of the village entrance in the north with one leg every morning, and appeared on the shore of the Red Sea for fishing in the evening. Every day, almost without exception.
However, Zuo Ci didn't have the slightest interest in communicating with him because of this. Regarding this world, at the initial stage of growth, apart from the desire to become stronger, he has no interest in any other irrelevant things.
Of course, no matter which world you are in, if you want to become stronger, you must understand the rules of survival and the laws of the world, so the necessary information naturally needs to be collected, so Zuo Ci figured out the situation he was in in a very short time—
The area where he was born is called Crow Blood Village, a small coastal village located in the northwest corner of the Manchester mainland. Although Crow Blood Village is located on the edge of the blood-colored Red Sea, the people in the village rarely rely on fishing for their livelihood. Dilapidated houses can be seen everywhere in the village, exuding the smell of poverty everywhere, but concealing the fact that the village is extremely rich and poor. According to the scrawny and rickety innkeeper’s words—“This place is full of thieves, thieves, liars, smugglers, etc. Criminals and killers, the more depraved the richer they are, if you want to be alone? Then you have to be careful when you do things in the village... I suggest you escape as soon as possible, and escape from this ghost place as soon as possible. !"
Later, through the different system characters in the village, Zuo Ci learned that apart from the system characters that he saw during the day in dilapidated houses built of bark and gravel, there was another special group of people in this village. Characters belong to the same organization. They are elusive, hard to find their whereabouts, silently collecting the dirtiest tasks in the world, and assigning these shady activities to the most murderous characters, smuggling drugs, killing people and looting goods, doing whatever they have money, crow-like whole body Black clothes are their characteristic of dressing up, and they also wear different masks according to their identities, ranging from beasts to Shura. Their leader was named Knight, only his face was covered with an all-black mask without patterns—it is said that this represented his ever-changing art of disguise, no one had seen his true face, nor I don't know if he has a real face, or maybe no one has ever lived after seeing his real face.
In addition, perhaps because of the countless blood stains on the hands of every crow in the organization, they are collectively referred to as blood crows by the world.
"Those blood crows are murderous demons without blinking an eye. Once they are targeted, they can kill you without any reason!" Evaluate like this.
This made Zuo Ci, who was faced with such a set environment, naturally act with extreme caution. With his gaming talent, he quickly mastered the essentials of combat, the logic of upgrading skills and equipment, and the fastest pace of upgrading.
Regarding combat skills, as a thief, he learned various body skills at level 1, including piercing, dodging, and sweeping; at level 5, he began to learn skills with additional effects, including level 1 gouging with a stun effect and ability to attack. Level 1 backstab used in conjunction with evasion; level 10 learned level 2 gouging and level 1 lockpicking; level 15 learned level 2 backstab and level 1 stealing, level 20 learned level 1 strangulation and practical escape and sneak attack Level 1 Stealth - With Zuo Ci's game talent, it only took less than 10 game days to reach level 20, and with the unique professional talent of a thief, he hasn't worried about money for the time being. At level 20, he was already wearing a dark brown light leather suit, wearing soft leather boots made of seal skin, wearing a white brocade cloak, and two daggers made of high-quality white steel pinned to his waist. Both wear rings of agility made of jade coral.
Although he didn't hone his fishing skills well, Zuo Ci still managed to upgrade the two survival skills of first aid and cooking to the current highest level, level 20. In addition, he also learned two professional skills of alchemy and enchanting. These two choices are directly related to the growth of combat ability. Although difficult to practice, they are very practical.
The early growth rate largely depends on the execution of tasks. Selecting the tasks that best meet your level and ability and designing the best execution route are the keys to saving time. Most of the early missions and wild leveling areas were concentrated in the seaside and bushes outside the village entrance in the north, which made Zuo Ci head towards the north of the village every morning after breakfast in the first few days of the game. , and the man in black standing on the wooden stake at the entrance of the village has become a signpost that he passes by every day. As for why Zuo Ci's fishing skills have not improved for a long time, it is also because he trotted to the beach with a fishing rod on his back several times at dusk, and saw this lingering black-clothed character again, so he couldn't let go of his hands and feet to improve his proficiency.
In short, after hearing the description about the Blood Raven, Zuo Ci has always regarded this black-clothed character whom he met at least once a day as a member of the Blood Raven organization, and adopted the method of hiding and hiding until he reached 20. Second day of class. At dusk, under the blood-red sky, Zuo Ci ran from the north entrance of the village on his way back to the hotel against the setting sun, and passed by a random cemetery, but the man in black standing on the stake was abnormally still standing beside the stake he used to stay at. on, and called out to him abnormally—
-
"Hey! That redhead, stop, let's talk!"
Not wanting to get into trouble, Zuo Ci pretended he didn't hear it, and ran towards the hotel at a faster pace.
He originally planned to leave the village after tonight and head west along the coast. It is said that there is a mysterious port there, and ships will be dispatched to the Rainbow Valley of Keen Continent at a fixed point. It seems that this is the only way to lead to the Rainbow Valley.
Rainbow Valley is the clue heard by the five members of the team before entering this world. It comes from Qingkong’s reading of her sister Luna’s memory. Meet at that place.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear?"
Zuo Ci's ignoring behavior did not succeed in getting rid of the entanglement of the man in black. Just when he was about to enter the village with a dozen steps, someone came to block his way.
Before he knew it, the dagger at his waist was tightly grasped, and Zuo Ci stared expressionlessly at the pair of gray and lifeless eyes on the opponent's face. His whole body seemed to be the same, but in fact, he was completely ready to fight. .
"Hey, are you not only deaf, but also dumb? You can't hear, and you can't answer when you speak."
Zuo Ci still stared at him in silence, his lips tightly closed. This face-to-face exchange finally solved the logical problem of the abnormal appearance of the man in black on the pile of random graves, because the man in black in front of him was not the one he saw every morning when he passed by, it just happened to be that they were dressed similarly. .
The new man in black was a little annoyed, he frowned and stretched his hand into his clothes, trying to take out something, taking advantage of his eyes moving away for a second, Zuo Ci instantly activated the stealth skill, making his steps soundless, Let the breath become traceless, dodge the erratic direction of the caught eyes of the other party, and jump behind him at an extremely fast speed, ready to escape.
Unfortunately, he only advanced a few steps before being stopped by that man again.
The opponent frowned completely, and said to him impatiently: "You, can you listen to others before running away? I just want to recruit you into our guild!" In his hand, he showed Zuo Ci a green jade tablet with a wolf's head engraved on it.
[guild? ] A trace of doubt flashed in Zuo Ci’s heart, and just when he was about to ask the reason—a row of iron diamonds flew straight towards the man in black in front of him. Hit, the man uttered a weeping cry.
Zuo Ci was also shocked by this sudden situation and took a few steps back. He turned his head and saw that man in black who stood on the cross stake by the roadside every morning appeared unexpectedly. Looking at the other one, he said, "I've been watching this newcomer for a long time, and I can't allow anyone to rob me."
"Bastards! You shameless Sarleon guild trash! You only rob people, kill people everywhere, bully and oppress people in other guilds, and compete for resources unreasonably!" Pulling out the iron rings tied to the hands and feet and throwing them on the ground, injured The man in black took off the hat on his head, parted his hair on one side, revealing the pattern of the green wolf tattooed on his temple.
The man in black standing on the stake smiled arrogantly, and took off his bamboo hat, revealing a tattoo of a red lion pattern on his forehead, and held the Japanese sword by his side with both hands. The tense and tense atmosphere instantly spread between the two of them. Although Zuo Ci understood the situation 90% of the time, he didn't have the slightest idea of participating. place.
