On the first day of the Shadow Hunter competition, a target was hunted. Unfortunately, Kaxiu caught the wrong one. He accidentally completed Thorn Solomon's mission, which was a small mistake.
He still overestimated his luck.
Since there was no luck, Kaxiu could only act according to the original plan. The black bait wood in Black Rain Villa that could attract dark creatures should be able to help him. Kaxiu originally planned to contact the ghost through a special channel at noon, but was delayed by the matter of the invisible assassin.
He just let it go, since they could meet again in the evening anyway.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Kashu returned to the house of old hunter Herb.
As soon as he entered the first floor hall, he saw all the old hunters waiting for him quietly. Hearing the movement around the corner, all eyes were focused on Kaxiu.
"What a pity, it wasn't that zombie. Otherwise, you would have been able to complete the assessment at noon on the first day." Jem shook his head and sighed.
"It doesn't matter. We have the strength anyway, so it doesn't matter which day we finish it. If we can deal with an A-level dangerous invisible assassin, we can naturally deal with the ghouls hiding in the commercial district."
Kroger said in a deep voice, his tone was quite confident. Or rather, he was quite confident in Kaxiu's strength. After all, he was the main force in the previous competition between the old hunters and Kaxiu. He knew Kaxiu's strength best.
A proper Shadow Hunter-level expert who was going to complete the task of competing for the Shadow Hunter quota was like an adult bullying a child. If it weren't for the strict and important procedures within the Hunter Association, Kaxiu would have directly revealed his true strength and his Hunter level would have soared.
"Yeah, there's actually not much difference in finishing it earlier or later. After all, this is an assessment and screening for individuals, and taking the lead won't give you an advantage, at most it will put more pressure on others," said Kames.
"It doesn't matter anyway. You will definitely be the next Shadowhunter."
Rudy, sitting on the sofa, holding a cane in his hand, spoke in a firm tone.
A few days ago, he was still supporting the Siren Claire. Now he has changed his mind and supported Kaxiu, and began to subtly persuade Claire to give up as soon as possible. The completion of the fifth Shadow Hunter is beyond doubt.
There were six old hunters in the lobby on the first floor. They were not as nervous as other forces. Instead, there were snacks and tea on the table, and they chatted quietly. It was as if the battle for the Shadow Hunters had not yet begun.
Their support for Kaxiu will not waver, not only because of Kaxiu's absolute strength, but also because Kaxiu helped them to expel the disasters that had accumulated in their bodies for many years. For these old hunters who have been fighting against dark creatures for many years, they can endure the physical injuries, but the mental madness is helpless. They hate dark creatures the most, and the long-term use of holy spring water has led to the wild beasts in their later years, which is simply an insult. The old hunters would rather die than become dark creatures.
Therefore, many old hunters who feel that their willpower can no longer hold out will personally end their lives after arranging their funeral affairs.
In order to avoid turning into a complete beast and becoming the thing you hate the most.
Kaxiu's fist therapy and physical therapy undoubtedly solved this problem. The old hunters were grateful to him and respected him very much.
They want Kashu to become a Shadowhunter and hold a high position in the association.
In this way, this type of physical therapy may be able to be expanded.
Help more hunters in the Hunter Association who are in urgent need of solving the problem of beast transformation and wild beast transformation, so as not to let these warriors commit suicide helplessly.
Of course, before Kaxiu was willing to reveal that he had this physical healing method, the old hunters would keep their mouths shut, and it would all depend on his wishes. The old hunters had that idea, but they would not confuse the priorities.
Time flies and it is dusk.
A tall figure stood on the half-moon balcony, quietly looking at the green grass and white walls below. This is a single-family house near the Hunter Association. It was originally the house of the old hunter Rudy. But Rudy gave it to Kaxiu these days. It is not very convenient to live in the hunter apartment all the time. With a private space, Kaxiu will obviously be more comfortable.
The warm air of dusk blew through my hair, and the leaves rustled. The red and yellow sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun fell at the end of the clouds.
Kaxiu turned around and went back into the room, sitting on the sofa in a relaxed posture.
When the eyes are closed, the evidence of the soul comes into play.
When I opened my eyes, the world changed and I found myself in a world of disaster.
He stayed for a while and then left the tower. About 20 minutes later, Kaxiu saw the Ghost Knight in a corner of Gray City.
As soon as they met, he asked the ghost to help him do something.
The more black bait wood, the better, and the sooner you get it, the better.
Florence is in the north of the Hongli Empire, and Black Rain Villa is in the Anta Mountains, in the southeastern region of the Empire. There were no trains in this era, so transportation was not very convenient. It would probably take a long time to go back and forth.
Of course, without the power of technology to speed up the journey, one can use supernatural powers to shorten the time. In fact, it is not slower than a train. The ghost man is a top knight, and he has many ways to do it. He has his own connections.
The conversation between the two lasted less than five minutes.
A moment later, the three of them left the City of Gray and headed for the southwest corner of the Pale Land. A few days ago, they had completed the mission in the Undead Cemetery with the minimum quota of ten Disaster Spirit-level skeletons. Although it was the lowest level of mission completion, the two people's imprint authority was still upgraded.
In addition, a large amount of secret soul power was exchanged.
A total of one thousand units!
Completing a mission can get so much Secret Soul Power, and that's at the lowest level. It's conceivable how valuable each Disaster World mission is. As the main force in exploring the Undead Cemetery, Kaxiu was allocated 600 units of Secret Soul Power, while the Ghost Knights were allocated 200 each.
The power of the secret soul is useful to them, but it is not precious. Among the mission rewards, the one that is more precious than the power of the secret soul is undoubtedly the increase in authority.
The ghost stole the crystal of the Lord of Disaster City and submitted it to the villa. The increase in authority at that time had already brought great benefits to the ghost, and this upgrade was comprehensive. More task options, more exchangeable items, villa expansion services, and the opening of secret areas in the villa... too many things.
Therefore, Demon Iron Knight is looking forward to cooperation with Kashu.
They want to maintain a good relationship and keep working together like this.
In addition, the 600 units of Secret Soul Power that Kaxiu obtained had already been used up to neutralize the 800 units of Holy Spring Water that he obtained.
The pale land was as gray as ever, with white snow falling. The trio began to head to the southwest corner, looking for a mountain peak that shaped like a bull's horn. That was the lair of the dead, and it was likely that half of the dead in the entire pale land gathered there. Kaxiu wanted to find the Howling Canyon, not only because of the soul jade that could nourish the spirit, but also because he had always longed to fight with the spirit of the dead fighters from ancient times to the present. Every sharp sword was born after countless bloody chopping and quenching forging.
If Kaxiu wants to achieve the realm of Holy Fist, he must fight hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of battles.
In this way, he tracked down the target ghouls in the real world during the day, and searched for the Howling Canyon in the disaster world at night. There were some small episodes in between, such as when tracking down the ghouls in the real world, Kaxiu met the Lion King Soth, and the two met in the alley.
The two sides paused for a few seconds and ultimately did not fight.
Kaxiu could feel that Soth seemed to be much more confident and his aura was much stronger. However, his aura was a little disordered and his eyes were a little cloudy.
I don’t know what I did in the past half month.
Of course, Kaxiu didn't want to know. What if Sos had the royal family's help behind him? Could he reach the level of a Holy Light Hunter by force
Impossible.
not to mention…
Even the Holy Light Hunter may not be a match for Kaxiu now.
When Kaxiu recovers his physique to its peak, the Holy Light Hunter will definitely not be his opponent. In Kaxiu's perception, the strength of the current Hunter Association President Lei Yu Dilixiati has not reached the level of an extreme fighter. I just don't know what the level of the head of the agency army is.
This is the situation in the real world, and Kaxiu in the disaster world also gained something. He encountered a dead spirit while searching for the Howling Canyon.
After a battle, Kashu's Nandou Red Eagle Fist broke through to the eighteenth acupoint. Nandou Sound Snake Fist also broke through to the eighteenth acupoint due to resonance. He was one step closer to the third stage of Nandou Power.
Time flies, and five days have passed since the Shadow Hunter Qualification Competition began. That night, Kaxiu received the black bait wood sent by the ghost. The boss had a big one, as thick as a normal person's forearm.
He couldn't help but sigh that the ghosts were serious and proactive in their work.
You know, according to the ghost's previous description, only a thumb-sized piece of black bait wood is needed to attract dark creatures through fragrance.
Now it is as thick as a forearm and as long as a hand bone.
If this thing is lit, it will definitely attract ghouls. Kaxiu nodded secretly, and couldn't help but feel that the ghost had a good intention.
Today is July 27th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, a heavy downpour has just ended. The cool rain has moistened the heat of the city of Florence, the dust has been washed into the ditch, and the air has a fresh smell.
The sky is as blue as if it had been washed with a rag, clear and bright.
A few white clouds were suspended and swaying, blocking out most of the sunlight.
A single-family house, Kaxiu retracted his gaze. It shouldn't rain today, so I can finish the mission in the evening.
As a big city, Florence actually has quite a few dark creatures. But they will never go to the seventh district, the second district, or the first district. Those are the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization, the Red Lebanese Parliament, and the Imperial Royal Family. So the dark creatures' locations are in the four major commercial and residential districts.
According to intelligence, the ghouls were active in the third and fourth districts, and there were several areas that were likely to have dense traffic. Kaxiu planned to make a torch out of black bait wood as thick as his forearm, and carry it around those places while it burned. This was called fishing in the open.
Anyone who dares to come here will never be able to escape.
At the same time, in the residential area of Florence, District 5.
Soth's investigation has reached a critical moment. After five days of collecting intelligence and field visits, he has gradually found the activity pattern of the mission target. The dark creature used to be active in the fourth and fifth districts, and would hunt every once in a while. According to the situation of the last hunt, the mission target is now in the fifth district, and will enter the bustling night market in the fourth district tonight or tomorrow night to look for the target.
What Soth had to do was to patrol back and forth on several main roads.
In this way, there is at least a 30% to 50% chance of catching the other party!
As for the battle with the dark creatures, Soth was not worried at all. He had not improved his strength in vain by drinking the holy spring water crazily for the past half month. While paying the side effect of affecting his sanity, his strength had also made great progress.
He will definitely be the first one to complete the assessment task.
On the other side, Thorn Solomon was also taking action. He was unlucky on the first day of the assessment mission, as the target of the mission was accidentally hunted by Kaxiu in advance. Therefore, Solomon had to change to another mission.
Compared to the invisible assassin, this dark creature was obviously much more cautious. The traces left in several districts were pitifully small, which made Solomon's Sin Thorn Secret Technique almost useless. Helplessly, he could only honestly look for clues and eliminate areas bit by bit. It was not until today that he had some results. The dark creature was now mostly hiding in the fourth district.
Solomon planned to work harder in the next few days and make use of his rest time to avoid being eliminated before even passing the first round of assessment.
He had even prepared to ask Candle Soul for help. After all, both sides had their reasons for Solomon to become a Shadow Hunter himself.
In the third district of Florence, Claire stood on the balcony of a building, staring closely at the area in front of her. Her mission progress was the fastest among the four people, and Claire had almost locked the location of the mission target.
It's in the large building ahead.
Now, all that was left was to lure the snake out of its hole. Claire planned to wait until night.
At that time, the dark creatures will take active actions and reveal themselves.
Each of the four people has his own advantages and his own plans.
The sun rose and the moon set, and it was eight o'clock in the evening. A waning moon hung on the branches, half covered by clouds. The sky was pitch black, and no stars could be seen. In the dim night, a figure left the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization. He had a clear goal and went straight to the fourth district of Florence.
Ten minutes later, the night market in the commercial district of Florence was still bustling. Candles were lit brightly, and shops were open one after another. From time to time, a horse-drawn carriage with an exquisite metal frame passed by and stopped in the open space next to Happy Street.
Every night is the time when the sex industry is most active.
A few streets away, in a dark and quiet alley, a strong figure leaned against the wall, his arms folded, disappearing into the darkness.
The whole person was motionless, with his eyes closed.
It's like a human statue with sharp contours and rigid lines.
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes. He looked at the waning moon covered by dark clouds above his head, and took out a black torch from his arms. The end of the torch slid across the rough wall. Suddenly, the flames burned.
