Chapter 1: The Raptors Cross the River
Although the City of Abyss is already the outer periphery compared to the wizard world centered on the Tongtian Witch Tower, it is still within the scope of the "Son of Emperor City". After all, it is still a super-large city formed in pieces, and those who live in it can be regarded as "city people".
Since there are noble people in the city, there will naturally be lowly people outside the city.
There are many settlements around the city of Abyss, and they will never be able to form villages and towns of a certain scale, because they are in the first Dark Realm: the Throne of the Poison.
People outside the Abyss City cannot enter, and people inside will never want to go out. If they are ordinary civilians, don’t think about coming back when they go out, but there is an exception to one type of person: professionals.
"Why do all adventures start from the tavern? Can't we change the entry point?" Accompanied by the crisp and beautiful female voice, a group of five people walked into the tavern in the settlement.
This tavern has no name...at least it has no signature. Because it is the only one in the entire settlement, there is no need to worry about making mistakes.
"There is a need and construction. Adventurers' taverns often have multiple functions such as prostitutes, casinos, hotels, hotels, and even weapons shops and intelligence centers. As long as there are people with knife-headed blood licking, they will gradually grow even if they don't have them." The young man with black hair and black eyes responded.
He held a thick round iron shield in his left hand, and a one-handed axe with pure steel hanging around his waist. He carried seven javelins. Although he was not protected by a solid and reliable iron helmet, the man still had clear outlines of muscle lines wrapped in his strong suit, vaguely telling everyone in the tavern:
This is not a lamb that can be swallowed freely. Without enough temptation, even a jackal will not attack a young tiger with counterattack ability.
The next moment, enough temptation was enough to push the door in.
The beautiful girl with silver hair and red eyes was wearing gorgeous and exquisite white iron armor and jumped in with a shotgun on her back. Rather than saying that she was taking risks, she was looking for death.
Just that gorgeous light armor can attract dozens of strong armed men to siege her. If combined with the girl's beautiful face and beautiful figure... Such a product, even if it has been enjoyed for a few rounds, is enough to sell a price that a small gang is very satisfied with.
Following the two of them, there was also a gray-haired old man wearing a plate armor with a long sheathless sword on his back, a man wrapped around his body in a black robe, and a thin but smart boy.
Jiang Yusen, a very few scavengers who can hang out in the dark realm for a long time, many people who are stronger than him died, and many people who are shrewd than him died. However, when those who are stronger than him turned into dead bones, the young man dressed in leather clothes and had obviously changed his job to a real thief.
Leaders, shooters, swordsmen, mysterious people, thieves, such a classic member configuration made the strong men in the simple tavern try their best to suppress the passion in their hearts. If a pair of young men and girls in love may walk into the jackal's nest without any warning, then the mature swordsmen, cunning thief and a suspected mysterious person will obviously not make such a low-level mistake again.
These five men and women are either fools with a brain or hard-working persons with extreme strength.
The five of them found a table in the center of the pub and sat down without pretending to order anything to serve, which made some more careful people more alert... However, those who were more alert were still blinded by the beautiful money.
A rough big hand suddenly slapped Jiang Yusen's shoulder, and an ugly man who looked a little drunk, with a thin body but with a beer belly exposed leaned on the boy's back. However, his eyes always stared at the girl's white cheek that seemed to be able to squeeze out water during the meal.
"Jiang Yusen, you little bastard, where have you been to make a fortune recently? Is it time to pay back the debt I owe my brother these few months?"
"...Skinny ghost, I know what you are thinking. Listen to my advice, and leave while your head is still on your neck." Jiang Yusen advised sincerely. Although scavengers in settlements do have the rules to pay "protection fees" regularly to professional groups, it is just an excuse for professionals to rob scavengers. There are dozens or hundreds of professional groups of large and small in settlements, and they will die as they are born and destroyed. Even if there are scavengers who want to spend money to ensure safety, they cannot hand over filial piety to every group.
Therefore, as long as any professional group needs it, they can find out the debt that a certain scavenger has not paid the protection fee for several months.
"You t..." The thin ghost wanted to press Jiang Yusen's head to the wooden table. However, the moment his palm touched the back of Jiang Yusen's head, Liu Yidao, who was sitting next to the boy, had already pressed him on the wooden table first. Looking at the dirty neck in front of him, Zhu Peng slowly lifted the all-steel hand axe with his right hand, and his eyes were cold... Walking in the world, his heart was not cruel, and he couldn't stand steadily, and he was like this in ancient and modern times.
He raised his hand and axe. In the tavern, Zhu Peng raised his hand and cut off the neck of the man in front of all the professionals present.
The axe was fast and fierce without hesitation. The thin ghost's neck was cut off. The red blood almost did not splash but spread rapidly along the wooden table, and then flowed down.
Since Ma Hu's senior brother, another life disappeared in this hand. However, if Zhu Peng was hesitant and regretful when he killed the man in front of him, then Zhu Peng's mood was cold and unmoved. He started killing people since he practiced boxing. Later, his hands were cleaned up in college for a while, and then invaded the abyss, and led a group of senior brothers, sisters and juniors to fight thousands of miles to fight and fight for a bloody road. During the process, many monsters were killed, but people also killed a lot. At that time, he killed people in order to steal a pig's leg, killed people in a bus, and even chopped one hand for half a steamed bun... When killing, killing, killing, and when breaking, breaking. After returning to a safe environment, Zhu Peng would reflect, regret and even regret it. However, when the weapon hand picked up the weapon again, it was still calm and powerful, and still killed without hesitation.
The axe fell and the head was cut, and the red blood spread...
The men who had just had a table with the thin ghost all stood up, each of them carrying weapons. However, Zhu Peng put the steel axe next to his hand, and he sat down again. Instead, Liu Yidao drew the knife, Jiang Yusen held a crossbow, and Kerr, who was covering his robe, had already pinched a light white phosphorus powder in his hand. Even Yiwen quickly untied the double-tube shotgun on his back, and the four of them confronted the pros.
Zhu Peng, who sat down again, sneered and pushed the corpse off the table, then grabbed his hair and picked up the thin ghost's head and threw it directly at the feet of those professional table emperors. The cruel and cold young man turned his head and asked with a smile: "I just saw you drinking with him. Are you brothers with good relationships? Then don't stand there, scout the guys to kill me, how can you bear to have your brothers lonely on the road to the underworld?"
Hearing this, a young man with a bald head, naked and strong upper body blushed and pulled out a single knife and was about to rush over to chop the young man with black hair and black pupils. However, he was suddenly pressed down by his older companions around him and pressed down.
"I misunderstood, I just gathered together to get a table, we didn't know him."
The middle-aged man with mustache who forced his bald young man to press down and responded. With his glance, the pros around him who had already drawn out his weapons sat down, as if he had given up. However, Zhu Peng noticed... the thinnest and most inconspicuous man among them quietly slipped to the corner of the tavern, and then he quickly ran out.
"There is no need to do this, right? We are here to kill monsters, but now we will kill people first."
Yi Wen, who sat down again, looked at the blood all over the table and frowned slightly. Although there were also gangsters who came to make trouble when "Kidd's Bloody Mouth" opened, they were never astonished as to the point where they were slashed their heads or even group conflicts.
"It is necessary, this place is different from the city. It is more chaotic, cruel and free. What's more, Sister Yiwen, you represent a large amount of wealth. We need to show that it corresponds to this wealth and even more strength... In this kind of settlement, the remnants of the earth, the sub-ethnicity, the humanoid race that accidentally ran here in the abyss, and even other remnants who were swallowed by the abyss. The population composition is too chaotic. The most valuable thing here can be said to be human life." As he said, Jiang Yusen had already begun to collect equipment from the thin ghost. If it was a mature team, even the arrogant statutes would not let the thieves in the team do such dirty work alone, but Zhu Peng's temporary team was not coordinated in such a way.
Yiwen is so clean, Kerr and Liu Yidao are arrogant, and Zhu Peng doesn't mind collecting spoils on the corpse. The problem is that he is posing to spread his domineering spirit now, so he can only let Jiang Yusen work alone.
Fortunately, the young man is very quick-witted, and his years of experience in scavengers have also brought him enough insights. Although he is not as good as Zhu Peng's primary identification technique, he has at least better insights in scavenging property than the other three.
Jiang Yusen quickly cleaned up all valuable things. Except for a dagger with iron sheet at the end, all other miscellaneous things were rolled into a bag by Jiang Yusen and put them in the ceremony. The thin ghost's headless corpse was almost stripped into a pig.
"Let the dusty treasures reappear the glory of the past."
After playing with the dagger for a moment, a faint light of inspiration appeared. Zhu Peng unscrewed the iron behind the dagger handle, and a broken green gem appeared inside. It was firmly embedded in the handle holder, and the light green magic power spread to the entire dagger through a simple magic array.
"A dagger with broken emeralds is itself given the magic of toxins. If you use poison to temper it again, the effect will be better." After looking through for a moment, he handed the dagger to Jiang Yusen again. He was the only one in the team suitable for this poison dagger. Although the gem is worth a few dollars, no one else expressed his desire for this dagger when he saw it.
"A lowest-level professional actually has a dagger with gems inlaid. It seems that although he is licking blood on the head of the knife in the dark realm, he is indeed very wealthy."
"If you don't go like this, you only know that you can gather people to oppress your kind... and you should kill them even more." Liu Yidao looked at the dagger that was playing with between Jiang Yusen's fingers and said playfully, while Jiang Yusen showed a little disgusting. He had been living in such settlements for a long time and had seen too many ugliness and sins.
After waiting for about five minutes, there was still no food or drink on the bloody wooden table. Then Zhu Peng stood up and said to the other four people: "I'll go out."
"Need help?"
"Do not dirty your hands when dealing with some maggots that gather to bully the same parasites." Zhu Peng sneered and answered Yi Wen, then turned around and walked out.
"It is said that the origin of the Demon Dragon King contains the darkness of seductive depravity, but in fact, I feel that even if there are factors of seductive depravity in that power, it is just a push.
More importantly, it is the cruel and tyrannical violence caused by ordinary people after experiencing the drastic changes in the doomsday and suddenly gaining power. Most of the martial arts practitioners in the old world have not changed much after becoming job transfers. On the contrary, those ordinary and cowardly people before the job transfer are even more cruel after they are transferred... I will never become that way." With five fingers, playing with the poisonous dagger I just got, this is the most basic training skill for agile professions. The experienced and powerful agile professions have flexible fingers that ordinary people find incredible. Flying knives, poison needles, or daggers, these exquisite little guys stabbed into the vital points of the human body in their hands, and are even more vicious and fatal than heavy swords and battle axes.
