The sun went down and night fell.
The cold wind in late autumn makes the pedestrians on the road more and more hurried, especially in places like the East District where there are no large bars or nightclubs. After eight o'clock in the evening, there are no pedestrians, only an occasional patrol car appears.
Outside the 'Leaf Restaurant', the small blackboard was hung up early
Closed today.
Such words are clearly written on it.
call!
The door of the restaurant is open, and the autumn wind blows straight in.
Immediately, the temperature in the restaurant began to plummet, especially when something appeared, the wind became more and more gloomy.
Qin Ran sat in the restaurant as if unconscious, flipping through the newspapers of the day, and the [Sharp Standard Sword] was quietly placed on the bar in front of him.
Step, step.
Heavy footsteps sounded in front of the alley.
A tall, strong, even extremely burly man walked over.
Every time you take a step, there will be a sound like a rubber tire hitting the ground.
Under such movement, the other party seemed more and more fierce.
Squeak, squeak!
The streetlights in front of the restaurant flickered rapidly again, making the already gloomy and slightly ferocious face of the man who walked over become gloomy and uncertain.
The other party looked at Qin Ran in the restaurant and opened his mouth, revealing sharp shark-like teeth.
"Delicious prey!"
The other party stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and walked into the restaurant without stopping.
Squeak, squeak.
Immediately, there were groans from the wooden floor beneath his feet.
The burly dead man didn't care at all.
It is very clear how heavy its body is in pursuit of strength.
It is normal to make noise when stepping on these floors.
Moreover, from some aspects, it regards this sound as its own praise, just like when its eyes glanced at the [Sharp Standard Sword] at the moment, it was slightly disdainful, and it was all from its nature.
Of course it recognizes the standard sabers of Velitus, Hastati, etc. in "The Shepherd".
In fact, it ate more than one such prey.
that taste...
So beautiful!
So much so that after it determined that its prey was a Villites or Hastati, it couldn't wait to prepare for another hunt.
Although it didn't digest its previous prey, it didn't mind giving itself extra meals.
After all, it is rare to see Willies and Hastati alone.
So, after entering the restaurant, the other party stretched out his hands, and rushed towards Qin Ran like a bear.
Although Viletus and Hastati are both fledgling rookies, they have become different from ordinary people, and such small methods are no longer appropriate to deal with these rookies.
What's more, it prefers to directly use the now stronger arm to tear apart the direct opponent.
Only in this way can the opponent's soul be more delicious.
Is there anything tastier than the soul of Villites, Hastati
Nature is tortured, spiced with fear.
Woo!
With a gust of bad wind, the arms of the burly dead man crossed the bar, and he grabbed Qin Ran with both hands. Sword]Pierce the opponent's throat.
Ding!
The point of the sword pierced the opponent's throat accurately, but there was a crisp sound of metal clashing.
The [Sharp Standard Sword], which itself has a strong attack level, is combined with the [burning] attribute, and the attack of the dead is +1, directly reaching a strong attack level.
But even so, the tip of the [Sharp Standard Sword] still couldn't pierce the burly dead man's throat.
"hey-hey."
"Rookie, I'm not the same guy you've met before!"
The burly dead man grabbed the newspaper covering his face and sneered.
The other party ignored the [Fengrui Standard Sword] that was stabbed at the throat, and as soon as he raised his hand, he grabbed Qin Ran again.
Woo!
There was another gust of bad wind blowing towards Qin Ran's hair.
Qin Ran turned sideways to pass the grab, but the sword in his hand slashed along the way.
The sharp blade brushed against the burly dead man's thick arm, and sparks flew everywhere.
Again, no real harm done.
The burly dead man smiled triumphantly again.
It likes to see these novices fall into despair after repeated failures.
Therefore, when he saw Qin Ran take two steps back and made a stabbing gesture, the burly dead man not only did not stop him, but pointed to his strong chest and waved to Qin Ran.
The meaning of provocation is self-evident.
Qin Ran frowned, seemingly full of anger.
The next moment, the body jumped forward suddenly, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight into the eyes of the burly dead man.
Whoosh!
The blade pierced the air like an arrow shot out.
Faced with such a sword, the burly dead man calmly put his arms in front of his face.
Ding!
A slight tingling pain came from his arm, which made the burly dead man feel more at ease.
This should be the opponent's strongest blow.
Among the Villites and Hastati it encountered, it was very good.
At least, it hurts.
But you want to knock it down with such a level of attack
It is too far away!
"it's useless!"
"How can a rookie like you understand that I am so powerful!"
"Be obedient and let me eat you and become a part of me!"
While speaking, the burly dead man grabbed the blade that was close at hand and pulled it hard.
Qin Ran, who didn't want to be dragged over, could only let go.
However, even so, he was rolled out of the bar with his body by a force beyond the limit of ordinary people.
When grasping the blade of the [Sharp Standard Sword], the burly dead man was certain in his heart that a Villites and Hastati who lost even their weapons were like tiger cubs without minions, and they were not it in the first place. opponent.
Now
Nothing to worry about!
Thinking of this, the burly dead man turned around.
Then…
The burly dead man saw that Kieran was carrying a gas tank with a metal hose attached.
Wisps of almost blue flames are erupting from the metal hose.
Especially when Kieran, who was carrying the gas tank, turned on the valve, the raging flames sprayed on the burly dead man's face like a dragon's breath.
The flame formed by the liquefied gas naturally does not have all the magic of the dragon's breath, but the thousand-degree high temperature, the moment it touches the face of the burly dead man, it makes the other party let out a scream.
The burly dead man who ignored the metal slash, his upper body was scorched black while breathing.
"Ah!"
"Kill you!"
"I am going to kill you!"
Roaring, the burly dead man, whose face was sealed by the flames, rushed towards Kieran based on his impression.
The other party didn't notice at all, there was an extra chain between illusions under his feet.
The power of the forward rush, the feet flopped.
The burly dead man fell on the restaurant floor in a complete dog eating posture.
Click, click!
The wooden floor, which was already somewhat overwhelmed, finally collapsed completely at this time.
The burly figure of the deceased just disappeared from the ground and fell into the storage room under the restaurant.
boom!
The heavy impact sound echoed in the ground, and the burly dead man who was thrown into a daze shook his head, subconsciously about to get up.
Then, it suddenly found a sticky thing restraining its body.
"maltose?"
The burly dead man lowered his head and looked at the thick layer, which was covered with light golden syrup, and couldn't help being stunned.
Then, there was a grim smile.
"Do you think you can restrain me with this little trick?"
The burly dead man struggled while roaring.
However, the more he struggled, the more frightened the dead man became.
Because, as it struggled, the maltose that covered half of the storage room not only did not loosen, but became more sticky.
To make matters worse, that cunning boy appeared above his head with a gas tank, and, in the hands of that cunning boy... a large barrel of gasoline appeared.
The unscrewed lid and the pungent smell are enough to let the burly dead know what they will face next.
"etc!"
"I… "
The burly dead man wanted to say something, but Kieran didn't talk nonsense at all. After pouring the gasoline in his hand, he directly ignited it with a homemade flamethrower.
"Ah!"
The miserable cries of the burly dead reappeared again.
The opponent's struggle became more and more intense.
Too bad it's completely useless.
Mimosa's special maltose is very viscous under normal conditions, but when it encounters high temperature, the viscosity will become 20%.
Moreover, the special maltose will also... help the combustion!
The burly dead man covered with such maltose, in the flames, was like a barbecue brushed with honey, and quickly became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
When a limit is reached...
boom!
The burly dead just exploded.
One after another phantom figures flew up from the opponent's exploded body.
Qin Ran glanced over.
There are five familiar ones, which are the five marked on the information collected by Amy before, and there are more unfamiliar ones, more than twenty.
Among them, the most eye-catching are two young men with swords on their waists.
Unlike other ghosts, when these two young men with swords around their waists saw Qin Ran, especially the [Sharp Standard Sword] that was held by Qin Ran again, relief and gratitude appeared on their illusory faces.
After the other ghosts turned into fireflies and headed for a distant place, the two of them bowed to Qin Ran together, and then chose to leave.
Immediately, the five sources of power, which were already growing rapidly, sped up again.
[Spiritual attribute breaks through a layer of seal, b→b+]
[Strength, agility, physique, and perception break through a layer of seal, e→e+]
…
It was expected by Qin Ran that the spirit attribute broke through the seal again, but the sudden breakthrough of the remaining attributes surprised him.
However, at this moment, Qin Ran didn't think much about it.
Because, in such a strong breath going to the distance, many cold breaths have begun to gather here.
Without any hesitation.
Qin Ran, who had been prepared for a long time, carried the gas tank on his back, a long sword in one hand and a metal hose in the other, and rushed out like that.
The long sword chops.
The flames burn.
One by one, the approaching dead disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What didn't disappear, went to the 'distance' again.
Almost instantly, those dead who heard the invitation and came to watch scolded the burly dead who couldn't die anymore.
What swallowed Villites, Hastati.
What a great secret to reveal.
What an alliance with a fight tonight.
Didn't he become a dead dog in the end
damn it!
Why do you listen to the invitation of that guy's subordinates and come here to make yourself uncomfortable
Thinking of the opponent's subordinate, all of these dead people gritted their teeth.
That bastard is too good at drawing big cakes.
But what happened to the other party's miraculous ability to walk through the sun
Is there really any secret
Doubts kept appearing in the minds of these dead.
But the butcher behind them gave them no time to think, and ran back to their lair one after another.
Or the underground gutters without light, or the old houses in disrepair, or the mortuary of the hospital.
But no matter where.
The butcher is like a prophet, he can always come to the door, first greet them with the sword in his hand, and then use the flames to 'help' them fulfill their wishes.
"The pleasure of hanging others?"
"How can it be compared to dancing in the flames, let's dance!"
"Assassinate someone with a knife?"
"No, what you need is an epiphany in the flames, and your wish can be fulfilled by yourself!"
"Have you got your wish?"
"No, no, without experiencing the baptism of flames, such a wish is not complete!"
…
While the flames were burning, patches of distant auras began to appear in the 7th district east of Ai City.
As the person in charge of the East 9th District, Bain quickly came to the restaurant when there were a lot of signs of going to the "distant place" in the "Leaf Restaurant".
Although he had sworn before that he would never come here.
But as a 'shepherd' duty, but he had to come.
Then, the corner of his mouth almost twitched as he watched Qin Ran, who had a long sword in one hand and a metal hose in the other, wipe out the dead.
He has never seen such a weird way of fighting!
It's like losing the face of the 'herder'!
but…
This kid doesn't seem to be a member of the 'grazers'.
And, it seems to be working.
Seeing the flames spouted by the remodeled gas tank devouring the dead one after another, the inexplicable Bane was a little moved.
But immediately, the herder shook his head.
No!
This is evil!
This is wrong!
This... is good for occasional use!
Bain became hesitant after watching another dead man who had escaped from his hands turn into ashes in the flames. Bain naturally knew how difficult these dead people who could escape his pursuit were, but these The difficult guys disappeared one after another.
Really, really...
He wanted to describe it in words, but he couldn't come up with an appropriate word after thinking for a long time. In the end, Bain shook his head and turned his attention to Kieran again.
At the same time, a doubt arises again.
How did he find out where the dead were hiding
Not just, Bane wondered.
The same goes for the rest of the 'herders' who came.
After they looked at each other, they looked at Baine.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"He is Ed Wang, the junior from the deep mountains, and he is not mine?"
"Who knows if he learned it in the mountains?"
Facing such gazes, Bain said directly.
"Where's Ed Wang?"
"You haven't come back yet?"
asked a herder.
"I have such a capable junior here, and I will also take a long vacation for myself. How can I come back so soon."
Another herder said.
As soon as such words came out, all the herdsmen, including Bain who was investigating, nodded unanimously.
However, the next moment, Bain was taken aback.
Because, he saw Kieran rushing into the high school in East 7 District.
And there is where Ed Wang disappeared!
Bane frowned.
