The sun was shining brightly at noon, and looking out through the window of the sanatorium, the walls were shining white, the trees were lush green, and the pedestrians were wearing cool clothes.
Claire left because something big happened this morning.
The Dark Gold Hunter, one of the Shadow candidates, Lion King Soth was attacked.
Moreover, it was not just a simple ordinary attack. It was an assassination by a shadow hunter! If it were not for the death squad sent by the royal family to protect Soth and delay him at the critical moment, I am afraid that the news Claire would hear now would be the death of the lion king Soth.
In this assassination, Soth did not die, but he also paid a heavy price. His left arm was cut off and the injury was serious. Even if there was a skilled extraordinary doctor in the royal family who could reattach the injured arm, it would definitely not be as useful and flexible as before. It can be said that after the assassination this morning, Soth's strength was damaged and his threat was greatly reduced. Thorn Solomon and Siren Claire became the biggest winners and suspects.
That's right, as soon as the news of Soth's assassination and injury came out, many reasons for the assassination spread within the Dark Hunter Organization. But without exception, at least two-thirds of them pointed the finger at Claire and Solomon.
Even if it wasn't done by the two of them, it was done by the forces behind them. As for Kaxiu who had just submitted the honor badge, almost no one doubted or paid attention to him. After all, what could a black bronze hunter do
Even if the royal family named Kaxiu as the one who did it, no one would believe it. Not to mention, the royal family is also confused about the assassination this morning. Which force was responsible for this
Florence, central city area, inside the royal palace.
In a palace building filled with the smell of medicine, Soth walked out of the room with a bandage wrapped around his left arm and a gloomy face. Following him were a dozen energy users with medical abilities. There were men, women, young and old, and all of them looked pale due to overuse of their abilities.
They had tried their best. Soth's severed left arm was saved, but its flexibility was not as good as before. It was probably only one-third of its original strength. If it was an ordinary broken arm, with so many energy users working together, it would not be a problem to fully recover. However, the demon's sickle slashed down, not only physically cutting, but also mentally cutting.
For a warrior of this level, every move and every form contains courage and will. Physical injuries can be healed, but the soul cannot.
Half an hour later, in a quiet secret room.
Soth punched the iron sandbag in front of him and burst it. The iron sand inside exploded with a bang and turned into raindrops that fell to the ground with crackling sounds.
"Damn it! Claire! Solomon! Who the hell is that!
!”
He vented his anger, raising and lowering his right arm like a hammer, punching the iron bar in front of him, bending it into a ball.
The thick five fingers pinched the iron ball, and the bones made a crackling sound.
Soth knew that he was being targeted, and by an organization that knew him well. First was the Shadow Assassin Organization, a top assassination organization that actually had a close relationship with the royal family and was considered half of Soth's thugs. But this morning, the Shadow Assassin Organization headquarters was destroyed, and several gold medal assassins and the Shadow Assassin leader were all killed. At the same time, Soth's most capable subordinate, the middle-aged man Gary, was also killed by the assassin.
Coupled with the assassination attempt, these three things combined together. The one who planned this action was undoubtedly an organized and premeditated force. This force was very familiar with the situation of the royal family and had outstanding intelligence. And they were confident and not afraid of the royal family's revenge. In the end, they were able to send out assassins of the Shadow Hunter level! The only thing Soth could think of was the parliament and the Shadow Hunter organization.
They were his two old rivals, Claire and Solomon.
As for Bai Kui and the old hunters who might be behind him, it was not that Soth underestimated them. This neutral group was still far inferior to the Parliament and the Shadow Hunter Organization. Could the old hunters send out a killer at the level of Shadow Hunter? Don't be kidding, Soth decisively ruled it out.
"You can't compete with me, so you're playing dirty?!" Soth's teeth were clenching like a lion chewing food. His eyes became fierce: "When my injury heals, I will definitely pay you back!"
On the other side, in the second area of Florence, in a dark training room.
Solomon, who had just heard the news, was stunned.
This is too efficient! He just said he would help me eliminate the opponent last night, and this morning he chopped off one of Soth's arms! Zhuhun and the forces behind him are really concerned!
The only pity is that Soth survived.
If it was just a left arm, although Soth's threat was reduced, he was still one of the two competitors. Solomon immediately felt that Zhuhun was too hasty and should have made a detailed plan and picked the best time to act. Wait, the plan was just discussed last night, and Soth was acted on this morning. Wouldn't Zhuhun want to assassinate Claire again in the afternoon? No, he had to persuade him to take a long-term view.
Thinking of this, Solomon immediately left the secret room.
When he found Zhuhun through a special contact channel, Zhuhun looked confused. He was still in the initial preparation stage, planning to collect Sos's daily action cycle. Sos had already been assassinated
For a moment, he felt like he had energy but nowhere to use it.
If this incident was not staged by the royal family, then the only ones qualified to carry out the assassination were the Parliament and the Dark Hunters. Solomon was the candidate put forward by the Parliament, so it could only be Claire!
Solomon and Zhuhun looked at each other and became alert.
One o'clock in the afternoon, District 7, Dark Hunter Organization Headquarters.
"This was definitely done by the Red Lebanese Council! It's 100% certain!" At the long table, a white-haired old man stood up and said in a sonorous voice.
"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the royal family staged this incident themselves. But the probability is relatively small. Once Soth and the others fight, they will be exposed."
A man in a suit and tie next to him speculated.
"No matter what, this is a good thing. Although we are reluctant to admit it, Soth was indeed the most promising candidate to become a Shadow Hunter. Now that his left arm is injured, he has a flaw and his strength must have declined. This way, our chances have increased..."
As the other old man spoke, he looked towards one end of the long table.
Claire was sitting there, with a dreamy look on her face. She couldn't help but feel sleepy when she was in a serious meeting room.
If possible, Claire would rather carry out the task assigned by her uncle to protect Bai Kui. She has already felt the benefits of this task, she can stay alone in the next room and be lazy and slack off openly.
Claire had prepared snacks and novels and biographies.
It was an unforgettable little vacation in the sanatorium.
The sun gradually set from its high position in the sky at noon, the light became dim, and was finally swallowed up by the clouds and darkness, turning into complete night.
Kaxiu opened his eyes and came from the reality to the world of disaster.
My feet are standing on the resurrection altar, and there is a solid touch.
Clatter...the pale flame swirled all the way up at the top of the space.
The first floor of the shelter tower was completely illuminated.
Kaxiu loosened his right hand, and on his palm was a pyramid-like triangular badge. This was the hunter badge that the ghost exchanged for him.
Putting it in his pocket, Kaxiu went up the stairs to the third floor.
Directly activate the defensive magic array and let the light film cover the walls of the tower.
The disaster in the air was immediately driven away and filtered out with a sizzling sound.
Half a minute later, Kaxiu left the tower of protection and crossed the Gray City, arriving in front of the wall where the demons left the world of disaster last time.
Wait for a moment.
The swirling black lines on the city wall formed an illusory passage.
Two figures walked out slowly.
One of them held a huge sickle, wore a thick black robe, and had a sinister aura.
One of them was carrying a knight's broadsword, wearing heavy armor, and was as tall as a mountain.
"Ghost, Iron Knight... Come on, I'll take you to the tower..."
Kaxiu is efficient and decisive and gets straight to the point.
He jumped up, and the ghost followed closely. Only the Iron Knight ran out of the alley, as if he was going to take the land route.
"You are flying so high, running on the top of the building. Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of a large number of dark creatures? I know something about Gray City. The Lord of Gray City is a very dangerous dark creature of the level of a disaster spirit. There are as many as ten of them. Once you are entangled by one of their clones, it will be extremely difficult to escape."
The three of them stopped, and the Iron Knight raised his head. A deep voice came from under the metal mask. He looked at the two people on the roof on the right.
When Kaxiu heard this, he turned back and looked at the ghost.
The ghost shook his head: "Sorry, it's my negligence. I didn't make it clear to the Iron Knight. After all, his attitude had always been ambiguous before..."
"You two, please be careful. This is a dangerous world after all. If you are careless, you may be doomed..."
The Iron Knight was still trying to give good advice. It was obvious that he was very cautious.
A minute later, three figures flew over the top of the building in Gray City. Although the noise was not loud, it was definitely not to be ignored. If it were in the past, dark creatures would have leaped up and rushed over.
However, just as the dark creatures in the streets were about to try, they immediately lowered their heads and lay dormant when they sensed the terrifying aura of their leader.
Some even hid in dark corners and shivered.
This is because Kaxiu discovered the wonderful use of the golem's spirit. If he drives the golem's secret weapon in a special way, he can imitate the terrifying aura of the ultimate dark body. This aura is simply a terrifying deterrent to dark creatures, and it is the dangerous smell of a top predator.
Apart from the disaster spirits, wild beasts and crazy beasts would turn around and run away when they see Kaxiu.
This is an instinctive fear engraved in our genes.
In addition, Kaxiu also discovered a magical phenomenon: if he wrapped his body with the spirit of the golem, the degree of disaster erosion would be greatly reduced.
It can only achieve one-third or even one-quarter of the original effect.
In other words, the time Kaxiu could be exposed to the world of disaster was greatly extended. It was about forty-five to sixty hours, two to two and a half days. This also meant that he could explore deeper.
For example, the Pale Earth and the shelter towers in other areas.
Ten minutes later, the group arrived safely at the shelter tower.
The expression on the face of the Iron Knight under the mask was somewhat complicated. The partner he and the demon had partnered with this time was indeed quite powerful. He had seen everything clearly along the way. After those vicious dark creatures felt the breath of Kaxiu, their eyes became much clearer. They looked like a mouse seeing a cat.
In addition to what the ghost said before, there are no more than ten Grey City Lords in Grey City. Now there are only four stray dogs hiding here and there.
The crystal core that allowed the Lord of Gray City to continuously restore his clones was stolen by the ghost. As for the six clones that disappeared, they were all killed.
It's the person in front of you.
After all, Gray End City is a remote small area in the Pale Land. Apart from the Lord of Gray End City, there is no real terrifying danger. Kaxiu has even dealt with the Lord of Gray End City, so he can naturally run rampant in Gray End City.
The Iron Knight originally thought that the demon said Kaxiu saved his life, which meant that he had to save the demon from the tiger's mouth. Unexpectedly, in reality, Kaxiu rushed forward and chopped off the tiger's head with a knife, and the demon was naturally saved.
The concepts of these two are completely not on the same level.
The stone door opened and everyone entered the shelter tower.
The ghost man and the iron knight immediately felt the disaster in their bodies, which gradually dissipated. The effect of the shelter that Kashu mentioned was true.
So, the two of them accepted the injection of Kaxiu's magic seed. The location was the little finger of the left hand, so even if there was an accident, the cost of cutting it off would not be very high.
After a rest, on the first floor of the tower, under the pale light.
The three of them clarified the main purpose of this exploration of the disaster world.
"Undead Cemetery"
As for the reason, of course, it was because the Undead Cemetery was located in the southeast corner of the Pale Land, relatively close to the City of Gray. In addition, the black air and blood light that could be seen from afar were rising into the sky. This feature made it easy to find and was the simplest.
The only thing you need to be wary of is that the Undead Cemetery is haunted by dark creatures called Blood Slaughter, which are a very aggressive and powerful Disaster Spirit-level creature.
The real world is different from the world of disaster. The immortality of the dark creatures here has been greatly improved, and the disaster spirits are almost immortal. Any disaster spirit is a very difficult existence for soul masters of the same level.
This is why the Iron Knight was so shocked when Kaxiu killed seven disaster spirits in a row. That requires overwhelming strength and special means.
The two kinds of power of Nan Dou boxing are undoubtedly the nemesis of immortality.
The reason why Kaxiu planned to explore the Undead Cemetery was because this place was likely related to the ancient sage who created the Nandou Fist. Perhaps, he could find some secrets left behind.
It would be great if he could find traces of other Nan Dou Fist techniques there. Kaxiu felt that he might gain something this time.
Coming down from the second floor of the Shelter Tower, Kaxiu held a roll of parchment in his hand, which was a simple map of the Pale Land. With the Soul Master's Certificate and the induction of the Shelter Tower, he could find his position and direction.
Everything is ready, let's go...
