Dragon's Origin

Chapter 22: The Use of the Assassin's Token

Whether from Song Yan or Song Lao Yu's perspective, bringing Wang Sheng along on this trial was simply to give Wang Sheng a chance to participate, thereby enhancing cooperation between the two sides in combat, and nothing more.

Neither of them ever thought that an ordinary person who hadn't even reached the entry level of Yuanhun(元魂: Yuanhun, a cultivation realm), someone who couldn't even unleash spiritual energy attacks, could be of any help in killing a triple realm peak-stage(三重境巅峰: triple realm peak-stage, a cultivation realm) demonic beast. Wang Sheng couldn't even get within fifty meters of the demonic beast. Without spiritual energy protection, the venom of the viper alone would be enough to turn Wang Sheng into a dead man.

However, seeing Wang Sheng's serious attitude, the two of them felt it wasn't right to dampen his enthusiasm. They would just take a look. Although they had already seen it once in the past two months, they would treat it as a re-reconnaissance and add a double layer of insurance.

With Song Yan and Song Lao Yu leading Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng was not subjected to the encirclement and interception of the Shanglin Song family. On the contrary, it gave the Shanglin Song family's patriarch a glimmer of hope. If Song Yan could really keep this boy in her grasp, the Shanglin Song family's good days would be coming. Therefore, they facilitated everything, saying he could go out for a walk, wherever he pleased.

It was impossible for a triple realm demonic beast to live near the city; it was at least a ten-day journey away. On the road, Song Yan and Song Lao Yu carefully explained the habits of the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper to Wang Sheng, and also showed Wang Sheng the various low-level demonic beasts they encountered along the way. At the same time, they also allowed Wang Sheng to truly witness Old Yu's combat power.

Song Lao Yu had been soundly beaten by Wang Sheng, and of course, he was not convinced. However, he couldn't bully the small with the big and beat him back, so he could only regain some face in this kind of situation. Therefore, he behaved exceptionally powerfully on the road. Those low-level demonic beasts were no match for Song Lao Yu, and they were all killed with one blow, and all were crushed by his powerful strength.

Wang Sheng was very humble. Whenever he encountered a demonic beast he had never seen before, Wang Sheng would ask Song Yan and Song Lao Yu to carefully explain the basic knowledge to him. This was very important!

Wang Sheng studied the habits of the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper the most. After Song Yan carefully explained the habits of the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng understood why the two sides had such a huge gap in strength, yet Song Yan still wanted to take the risk.

First of all, as Song Yan said, the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper had just laid eggs, and its vitality was greatly damaged. This was a major advantage. Because of this, the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper's strength could be reduced by at least 30%, and at most, it could only exert the strength of a triple realm advanced stage(三重境高级: triple realm advanced stage, a cultivation realm).

Secondly, the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper happened to be at the time of molting. The time when snakes molt is indeed the best time to attack, especially the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper. When molting, it has no attack power at all. To exaggerate, it doesn't even have the ability to make big movements. Its proud venom is even useless. It is simply the best time to kill the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper.

As long as they seize the opportunity, to put it bluntly, even if they fail to kill the venomous viper, they will have no problem retreating unscathed. This is also Song Yan and Song Lao Yu's greatest reliance, and it is also the confidence they have to accept this trial despite the difference in realm.

However, there was one thing that Wang Sheng did not expect. Although the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper cannot move much when molting and has no attack ability, it has incredible protective measures.

The reason why the name of the venomous viper has the word "Illusion" is because when molting, the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper will enter aillusory state. It seems to have no substance, leaving only a shadow. Using knives and swords, etc., it is impossible to touch the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper's flesh. When knives and swords pass through, they will only pass through the viper's phantom, and they will not be able to attack the substance at all.

In this state, only spiritual power attacks can attack the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper. Song Yan and Song Lao Yu have no problem, but Wang Sheng is very embarrassed now. He is still in the entry level state and has not entered the first realm. At most, he can only absorb spiritual energy, but he cannot use spiritual energy to attack.

In other words, in fact, Wang Sheng cannot contribute much in the whole process. At least that's what Song Yan and Song Lao Yu think. Song Yan is okay, but when Song Lao Yu said this, he simply wanted to use this fact to give Wang Sheng a naked slap in the face, so that he would know that there are many things in this world that Song Lao Yu disdains to do but Wang Sheng cannot do.

Wang Sheng just smiled at this. He followed them, one to relax, and the other to broaden his horizons. As for really participating in the attack, Wang Sheng never thought about it from beginning to end. Wang Sheng and Song Yan are just a verbal joke-like fiance and fiancee relationship, and it is not worth Wang Sheng risking his life for Song Yan.

The best time to kill Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper is during molting, but once Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper molts successfully without being successfully killed, Song Yan and Song Lao Yu will probably only have a way to escape.

After molting, the outer skin of the Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper will soon become as hard as iron. Ordinary knives and swords cannot leave any marks on it. Song Lao Yu, a triple realm mid-stage(三重境中期: triple realm mid-stage, a cultivation realm) expert, can only leave a white mark at most when he cuts it with ordinary weapons. Unless there is some magical weapon, perhaps it can break through the skin of Thousand Illusion Venomous Viper.

Obviously, neither Song Yan nor Song Lao Yu have magical weapons in their hands. Wang Sheng's military knife looks good, and maybe it can hurt the venomous viper in his hand, but Song Lao Yu didn't say anything. It's so short, what can it do? Even if it breaks the skin, what will happen? Maybe it will also implicate the young lady and lose the opportunity to escape, which is not worth the loss.

"Let's wait and see!" Wang Sheng didn't say much about this. He couldn't explain to Song Yan and Song Lao Yu what a sniper rifle is. Although the special armor-piercing bullets cannot penetrate the frontal armor of a main battle tank, they can also penetrate two or three hundred millimeters of homogeneous steel plate. No matter how thick the venomous viper's skin is, can it be as hard as such a thick steel plate?

However, Wang Sheng suddenly remembered something on the road. Taking this opportunity, he asked his long-standing doubts.

"What is Worry-Free City?" Wang Sheng has been in contact with several assassins from Worry-Free City, but he still doesn't know what Worry-Free City is. Since it is called a city, it is obviously not as simple as an assassin organization. He might as well ask: "In addition, what is the use of the assassin tokens of Worry-Free City(杀手牌: assassin tokens)?"

Wang Sheng has always felt that the assassin token is just an assassin's identity card, but Fatty Shopkeeper asked him to take the assassin token away, saying it was useful. Obviously, it is more than just an identity card, so he asked about it together.

"Worry-Free City is a place that gathers all the criminals in the world." Song Yan didn't expect Wang Sheng to ask this question. She almost laughed. Thinking that Wang Sheng was from the barbarian, it was normal if he didn't know, so she patiently explained to Wang Sheng: "If you commit a crime and are being chased, just run to Worry-Free City."

"As long as you can escape into Worry-Free City, even if you have committed a heinous crime, no one will chase you again." Song Yan tried to explain it clearly so that Wang Sheng could understand it more easily: "The city lord is very strong. He has offended many big families before and established Worry-Free City himself. As long as people enter Worry-Free City, even the emperor cannot go in to arrest people."

"A city full of wanted criminals? The emperor's authority doesn't work there either?" Wang Sheng asked in surprise. How powerful does this city lord have to be to prevent all the families in the world from pursuing the criminals in the city?

"Yes!" Song Yan gave Wang Sheng a definite answer: "There are still dozens of enemies in Worry-Free City that our Song family wants to kill, and we have been unable to do anything about it for so many years."

Isn't this Evilman Valley, or Peace Hotel, or the red-name city in the game? Wang Sheng thought in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Is it really safe in Worry-Free City?" Wang Sheng couldn't believe that there was such a place, and confirmed again.

"When Worry-Free City was first built, including the emperor at the time and the patriarchs of various families, they all personally promised the city lord at the time, and they all made poisonous oaths, what do you think?" Song Yan rolled her eyes at Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng didn't even know such common sense things. But thinking that Wang Sheng was just a barbarian, she was relieved.

"I mean, people in Worry-Free City can't attack other people either?" Wang Sheng asked again.

"There is no restriction." Song Yan replied casually: "It's just that outsiders can't attack people in the city. As for people in Worry-Free City attacking people in Worry-Free City, no one cares."

"What about assassins and assassin tokens?" Wang Sheng asked again. In his opinion, this Worry-Free City is really a bit incredible.

"The prices in Worry-Free City are very expensive. People who escape into Worry-Free City can only find ways to make money in order to live." Song Yan replied very seriously: "And many of these escaped experts don't know many skills. What they are best at is actually..."

"Killing people." Wang Sheng took over her words and said the following words: "So, most of the experts in Worry-Free City are assassins, right?"

"Yes!" Song Yan looked at Wang Sheng and nodded. It is simple to talk to smart people, without having to spend so much effort: "The assassins of Worry-Free City emerged as the times require. The assassin token is the proof of the assassin's level and identity."

"With Worry-Free City as a backing, as long as you become an assassin of Worry-Free City, even if you have enemies when you go out of the city to kill people, those enemies will not dare to act rashly." Wang Sheng was about to ask how these people who escaped into Worry-Free City kill targets outside Worry-Free City, but Song Yan took the initiative to explain: "Therefore, the name of the Worry-Free City assassin became famous. Finally, even many people who did not commit crimes and escape into Worry-Free City secretly became assassins of Worry-Free City."

"Worry-Free City does not allow infighting, but there is an area between Worry-Free City and the outside world that does not care. Some guys in the city solve personal grievances here. It is also a disguised permission for people in the city to attack each other." Song Yan began to explain the function of the assassin token: "Therefore, the assassins of Worry-Free City also continued this rule, but their scope includes the whole world."

"Worry-Free City assassins can get points for killing people or doing tasks. Different targets are evaluated by Worry-Free City experts and given points. The higher the points, the higher the level. The higher the level, the more resources you can enjoy from Worry-Free City. If you get someone else's assassin token and return it to Worry-Free City, then 10% of the points on the assassin token will be transferred to your own assassin token. If you also become a Worry-Free City assassin in the future, then you may become a level 2 or even a higher-level assassin at once, understand?"
