This is the fastest way to improve your strength in a short period of time.
"In the sect, there are no other creatures that can be killed except the Five-Colored Spirit Tailed Bird. I wonder if there are any suitable prey here?"
As thoughts in my mind float.
Xiao Shi immediately began to inquire.
He focused on finding out whether the Night Watch Department raised any birds or animals.
I found out soon.
The Night Watch did have a bird that specialized in transmitting intelligence.
But this bird is more precious than the sect’s five-colored spirit-tailed bird.
It's impossible to get it.
As for other birds and animals...
It is said that some night watchmen do raise spiritual beasts, but these spiritual beasts are like their partners and are also part of their combat power, so it is impossible for them to give them up.
"Maybe I'm going in the wrong direction. I don't necessarily have to kill the birds and beasts that have entered the martial realm..."
Xiao Shi seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly I thought of a place.
Night watchman, prison!
There is a prison in each of the four areas A, B, C and D of the Night Watch.
They hold the criminals captured by each team of night watchmen while on duty.
Xiao Shi walked all the way to the prison of their Team D.
At the prison door, there were two night patrolmen from Team D who were in charge of guarding the prison. After seeing Xiao Shi, they looked at him with interest.
"New here?"
"Meet the two brothers."
Xiao Shi smiled and took out two jugs of wine that he had prepared early in the morning and handed them to the two of them.
The two night watchmen took it with a smile, took a sip, and their eyes widened instantly.
"What kind of wine is this!"
They expressed amazement that they had never tasted such delicious wine.
With these two pots of wine, Xiao Shi quickly got closer to them and tried to get information about the prison from them.
The focus was on finding out about the prisoners in the prison.
"In fact, when we are carrying out missions, we basically kill those evil gangsters and bandits directly. We rarely arrest them unless the mission specifies that they need to be arrested. Therefore, there are never many prisoners in the prison."
The night watchman named Wang Changhuan among the two spoke to Xiao Shi while drinking.
Xiao Shi nodded.
"So how do you usually deal with these prisoners?"
"If it's someone who is specifically targeted for arrest, the higher-ups will usually make special arrangements. As for the others who are arrested, they'll just be locked up."
Another night watchman named Yang Zhen said this, looked at Xiao Shi and smiled.
"You want to practice on the prisoners?"
He knew that some new night watchmen would often look for targets to practice before performing their tasks.
The prisoners in this prison are good training subjects.
"May I?"
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.
"If it's the prisoners that are assigned to be captured, then it's definitely not allowed. But if it's an ordinary prisoner, as long as the person who captured him agrees, you can hand him over to you for disposal."
Xiao Shi suddenly realized.
That is to say…
The right to deal with ordinary prisoners lies in the hands of the night watchman who arrests them.
If you want to practice on a prisoner, you must first obtain permission from the person who captured you.
"You're lucky. There's a villain I caught in our prison right now."
The night watchman named Yang Zhen patted Xiao Shi on the shoulder.
"If you want to practice, I can give him to you directly, but you have to be careful. He has the fifth level of martial arts cultivation. Although his strength has decreased due to being imprisoned, he is not easy to deal with."
"Thank you, Brother!"
Xiao Shi thanked him repeatedly, hesitated for a moment, and asked.
"If I accidentally kill someone..."
"If you die, you die."
Yang Zhen waved his hand disapprovingly.
"These prisoners deserve to die. They are able to practice with us night watchmen before they die. This can be regarded as their last contribution to the world."
Xiao Shi nodded.
He felt relieved after hearing the other party's words.
…
The prison was dark and gloomy, with no sunlight all year round.
The cells here are surrounded by walls on all sides, and it is usually difficult to see what is going on inside the cells unless the cell door is opened.
When Wang Changhuan and Yang Zhen brought Xiao Shi to one of the cells and opened the iron door, Xiao Shi saw the prisoners in the cell.
This was a burly old man with disheveled hair, his body covered in dirt and blood, wearing special handcuffs and anklets, squatting in a corner.
"Junior Brother Xiao, do you really not need us to protect you?"
Yang Zhen couldn't help but ask again.
The two of them originally wanted to protect Xiao Shi.
If Xiao Shi is defeated or encounters any danger during the battle, they can take action in time to ensure Xiao Shi's safety.
There was once a night watchman who was killed by the prisoners in a fight because he was no match for them.
In their opinion, Xiao Shi was only at the fourth level of the martial realm after all.
There is still a certain risk in facing a fifth-level prisoner in the martial realm with reduced strength.
Xiao Shi smiled and shook his head.
"Thank you, brothers, but I want to fight alone. If I can't even handle a prisoner like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive when I perform the night watchman's mission later."
The two nodded.
I was deeply touched by Xiao Shi’s words.
As experienced people, they all know that the mortality rate of newcomers is the highest when they perform their first mission.
Especially their team D...
Usually the night watchmen who join Team D are just the most ordinary and mediocre people.
Not as good as the elite and talented teams.
Basically, one quarter of the newcomers will die in the mission during their first mission.
"Be careful!"
"We'll wait for you to come out for a drink."
The two of them stopped persuading him and encouraged Xiao Shi.
Then, after Xiao Shi stepped into the cell, they closed the iron door of the cell and waited outside.
Xiao Shi walked into the cell and found that the entire cell was even smaller than what he saw from the outside.
There isn't much room to dodge or move when fighting here.
at the same time.
The prisoner squatting on the ground slowly raised his head, revealing a ferocious and brutal face.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with blood, and his body was filled with murderous aura and ferocity. It was obvious that he was a man who had been killing for years.
He stood up directly from the ground.
His entire body was extremely tall, estimated to be about 1.9 meters tall, like a violent bear. He stared at Xiao Shi with bloodthirsty and cruel eyes, and let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh.
"You are the new night watchman, right? Hey, you are just a mere fourth-level martial artist, and you dare to pick me to practice with? Do you know how many fourth-level martial artists like you I killed before I was arrested?"
He clenched his fists, making crisp clicking sounds. The ferocity in his eyes seemed to emanate from his fists, forming a deterrent. Combined with his tall body, it brought a strong sense of oppression.
It's just this kind of oppression...
It didn't seem to have any effect on Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi looked at him calmly, as if he was looking at prey.
There was even a hint of undisguised excitement in his eyes.
It was as if he had some treasure worth looking forward to.
Such a look made even this prisoner, who had been stained with blood for years, stunned.
