Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Songyuan City, Iron Cross Street.

In Vincent Alley, the refugees who had fled their hometown due to the plague and took refuge here were queuing up in front of the temporary camp of the City Lord Relief Society, waiting to receive relief from the City Lord's mansion.

According to the decree issued by Marquis Vizia Bakar, the City Lord's Relief Society distributed to the refugees about one kilogram of ripe grain and three kilograms of emergency food made from the monsters that the army defeated. This food is enough for the refugees to survive the next week - they must survive, otherwise they will only face death.

And right next to this long queue, there is an inconspicuous corner of Vincent Alley.

A middle-aged man wearing a coarse turban and patched linen clothes walked through the ranks of refugees with an expressionless expression.

Judging from his clothes alone, he has indeed blended in with the refugees. But no one noticed that a big hole was torn in the chest of the linen clothes he was wearing. And on the edge of the big hole, there was still a trace of fresh blood.

Bang bang, his shoulders kept bumping into the other refugees, earning him a lot of unkind looks.

The refugees who were knocked away stared at him with angry eyes, but they received cold and indifferent indifference.

The refugees saw that the middle-aged man's eyes were dotted with a bright red.

But it was this deep red color that made them feel extremely frightened. In a daze, the refugees seemed to see the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood that could drown and swallow them.

Some refugees had already raised their fists, preparing to hit the middle-aged man. However, the inexplicable strong fear in their hearts stopped them, causing their movements to freeze in mid-air, and finally they watched the middle-aged man pass by expressionlessly.

…

After passing through the long queue of refugees, the middle-aged man raised his hand and pulled his scarf higher.

Then he put his hand into his arms.

After groping for a while, he took out an exquisite and gorgeous compass that exuded an ancient atmosphere from his arms.

——"Silver Dial Compass"!

The man stared at the compass, his eyes becoming sinister and deep.

"The target...that priest...has moved?"

He murmured, recalling in his mind the information that "Black Fang"'s informants had returned to him.

"Lord Koros... the reason why he sent me here... is because the target is the 'fourth destiny', or he has the helper of the 'fourth destiny'."

"The four advance Black Fangs... they all died. They died in that tavern..."

"Well...in that tavern, there were actually two [Supreme] fourth-level 'throne knights'..."

The man's fingers rubbed the surface of the compass, and the constantly trembling mercury needles in it aroused more thoughts in him.

"But...we still haven't been able to see the target with our own eyes...could it be that the 'Black Fang', 'Hyena', 'Blood Owl' and 'Gargoyle' sent out twice by Mr. Koros... were all killed by those two Killed by a 'Knight of the Throne'?"

"Hmm...it's possible."

"Executioner" Koros's subordinates, "Guillotine" Bagry, who commanded some of the Black Fangs, kept thinking in his mind.

"But now, the target has moved. He left the tavern..."

"Hmm...is this a trap? Or an opportunity?"

"But no matter what...the two 'Knights of the Throne' are not here...perhaps they can complete the task assigned by Lord Koros in one fell swoop."

"..."

When he thought of this, "Guillotine" Bagri stopped thinking about anything.

He silently put away the "Silver Dial Compass" and walked deeper into Vincent Lane while saying to the air beside him:

"Comrades who serve the darkness... follow me closely."

"Although...'Black Bear' and the others have sacrificed, there are still me and you, which is enough to complete the mission and eliminate possible obstacles ahead..."

"...For the sake of 'Pitch Black', for the sake of 'Executioner'... give your lives to me..."

"——For the great cause of Lord Koros."

"..."

…

On the edge of Songyuan City, next to a deep and dense forest.

Luo Xiu and Intis were walking along the edge of the dense forest in a direction away from Songyuan City.

There are no established roads around here. The "wilderness" is the most realistic portrayal of this place. Luo Xiu could often hear the howls of hungry beasts coming from the depths of the dense forest.

The atmosphere in this neighborhood is quite eerie, because it is actually close to the residents of the Songyuan City slum and the mass graves where the bodies of their relatives or neighbors are buried.

Although there are always officials from the government to publicize or educate citizens that burying corpses privately will contribute to the spread of plague and the epidemic of disease, most of the proletarian and low-income citizens dismiss it or even sneer at it - in solving the so-called Before addressing the issue of “plague” or “disease”, it would be more practical to first solve the problem that only middle-class families and above can afford burial costs in cemeteries.

As for the unknown plague that recently broke out in the border areas of the empire, countless refugees fled to the Songyuan Territory. They not only brought the plague, but also brought an exponential increase in corpses.

Countless refugees either died from long-distance fatigue, or died from diseases and plagues. This has doubled the number of people who secretly hid corpses and buried them outside the city in recent days. The stench of corpses can be smelled from a long distance away.

And it was this aura that made Luo Xiu choose this place as the venue for his plan - the venue for the upcoming battle with the "Pissou" and his "Black Fangs"!

In such an environment, the strong atmosphere of the battle between the extraordinary people will be difficult to be detected by other extraordinary people in the city. This is an ideal battlefield... Except for the strange atmosphere, other aspects are quite ideal.

And I can also "unban" some forbidden abilities.

While thinking about these, Luo Xiu took out the "Silver Dial Compass" and observed the movement of the mercury needle on it from time to time.

As Luo Xiu expected before, since he left the "Wolf Hunting Tavern", the mercury needle on the "Silver Dial Compass" began to tremble violently after a while.

This shows that the enemy's "fangs" have moved again, and his speed of action has become very fast at this time!

"Sure enough..." Luo Xiu rubbed his chin, which further confirmed his guess.

The original choice of staying at the "Wolf Hunting Tavern" really brought great confusion to the enemy!

"Throne Knight" Isaac and "Throne Knight" Bruyère are too conspicuous, which will make the enemy mistakenly believe that the reason for the failure of the previous two assassinations sent by Black Fang was because of these two [Supreme] Four-fold Fate Gate Gods, and ignore or underestimate their original goal, that is, their true strength!

Luo Xiu thought so. After all, in this third attack by Black Fang, he only completed a unilateral slaughter of the Black Fang assassin in the room, and no one outside the room saw what happened inside at that time.

While thinking, Luo Xiu quickened his pace. At the same time, he saw that the "Silver Sundial Compass" in his hand was shaking more and more violently, which meant that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him.

Finally, when the mercury condensed needle stopped shaking, Luo Xiu grabbed Intis's arm and flashed into the dense forest beside him.

Opening the "Spiritual Vision" to get rid of the stench from the rotten leaves and the pile of corpses not far away, Luo Xiu and Intis quickened their pace and soon came to the depths of the dense forest.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu leaped onto a fir tree and half-bent over the branch, completely hiding his figure with his specialty "Hidden in the Mist".

Intis leaped onto another fir tree not far away. She had also drawn out her "phantom dagger" and used the power of the civet cat to erase her aura, waiting for her prey to come to her.

...

Half an hour passed.

Suddenly, Luo Xiu, who was in a "meditation" state, finally opened his eyes.

He had been maintaining his "spiritual vision" to detect the surroundings and felt the approaching spirit.

It was a violent, fiery, hostile spirit, with a total of four such spirits, converging from two directions to where he was.

When Luo Xiu noticed this, he sent a signal to Intis through the "Family Emblem".

In the short-distance transmission of the spirit, he soon received a response from Intis and learned that she was ready.

Therefore, Luo Xiu stopped paying attention to Intis and focused all his attention on the approaching enemy.

The four spiritual masters moved forward slowly. The visibility in the dense forest at night was very low. They had to hide their breath as much as possible and look for the target at the same time, which forced them to be much more cautious than usual.

However, what the group of black fangs who sneaked into the dense forest did not know was that the moment they stepped into the forest, they were already quietly spotted by the hunters they regarded as "prey".

...

When one of the black fangs came to a fir tree with light footsteps.

He suddenly noticed that there was an extremely dangerous breath coming from above his head.

He looked up and saw a sharp sickle flashing scarlet, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, slashing from mid-air!

The black fang's face suddenly showed a look of horror, but after rigorous training, he also took action quickly in the face of this sudden change.

Luo Xiu only saw that the target he aimed at froze in an instant, allowing the sickle to split his body from head to toe, splitting it in half.

This was a hidden sneak attack, and Luo Xiu did not expect to be able to send a Black Fang away on the spot. His sight quickly shifted elsewhere.

Sure enough, the next moment, the Black Fang's body that was cut in half "melted", and a hissing sound continued to emerge. The body gradually lifted the illusion and turned into a section of an arm that was cut off at the root.

In front of Luo Xiu's gaze, a gray-black smoke spread, and the previous "Black Fang" fled to a safe distance away from Luo Xiu with the help of the broken arm.

"...Is it a believer of [Red Lotus]? A bloodthirsty person?" Luo Xiu looked at the Black Fang in front of him with interest.

He had previously focused on guarding the positions of the Black Fangs everywhere, and did not detect the Black Fang in front of him. He then casually detected the Black Fang, and the feedback from the panel just confirmed his guess.

When the Black Fang fled to the other side, Luo Xiu could really see his face clearly - his face was covered with hair, his nose and mouth protruded outward, and two fangs came out of his mouth, which showed his orc ancestry.

The Black Fang orc's face showed fear, but more of it was the luck of escaping alive. Luo Xiu saw that the broken flesh and blood on his left arm cut off by the sickle had begun to wriggle, and a new arm was about to grow.

But Luo Xiu did not intend to continue chasing, but turned around in front of the Black Fang orc and chased in the direction of other Black Fangs.

He won't kill me...? The orc Black Fang looked at the target priest in front of him, who was wearing a black mask and holding a scarlet sickle, and just walked away from him. He couldn't help thinking with luck in his heart.

However, the next moment, he suddenly heard a light "sizzle" sound, and then, a chill came from his back.

The chill quickly spread throughout his body, and the Black Fang orc with a broken arm smelled a strong bloody smell at the tip of his nose - it was the smell of his own blood.

"Uh..." Feeling his vitality fading quickly, the Black Fang orc turned back with some difficulty, trying to see what it was, and suddenly launched a sneak attack on him again.

But he couldn't see the attacker's appearance clearly, he only felt a gust of cold wind blowing in his ears, accompanied by a slight tremor in the air, and heard a sharp "swish" sound.

There was a sharp pain in his neck, and his breathing was suddenly blocked. Black Fang looked down and saw that the sharp blade of a dagger with a silver-gray luster, which appeared and disappeared from time to time, had pierced his throat.

- Sizzle! The dagger was quickly pulled out, and the Black Fang orc's throat was instantly broken, and minced meat and blood splashed out.

"Hehe..." The Black Fang orc covered his neck. He felt that his life force was disappearing rapidly at an irreversible speed.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and he seemed to see two dark green spots flashing in front of him.

Then, the invisible dagger that had pierced the orc's back and neck before pierced his chest again.

He finally lost all his strength and fell to the ground. After a twitch, he stopped moving.

...

Luo Xiu had locked on the second Black Fang who sneaked into the forest.

The Black Fang orc who had fled before was exactly under the tree where Intis was hiding.

Luo Xiu stopped finishing him off and handed him over to Intis to harvest, and then turned around to hunt his accomplices.

Compared to the experience gained from killing that orc, it was more important to intercept all the Black Fangs that invaded the forest to prevent their "fangs" from escaping after receiving the message.

Earlier, Luo Xiu had learned through detection that the Black Fangs were sneaking into the dense forest in groups of two. When the Black Fang orc was attacked, his accomplices did not continue to go deeper, but turned around and ran away from the dense forest.

Luo Xiu knew that he had to report what happened in the dense forest to his leader, the "fang head" sent by the "executioner" Koros.

...

The twisted and hunched trees on both sides were now passing behind him in rows.

The Black Fang, code-named "Mole", who was fleeing in front, ran desperately, hoping that the unfortunate Black Fang colleague code-named "Beast", could hold out longer under the hands of the target.

Their target, the target that Lord Koros designated to capture or kill, was indeed in the dense forest!

"Mole" knew that among all the possible speculations made by them before the Black Fang, the current situation had reached the worst one.

——That target, that priest! He is the quadruple destiny!

Moreover, he seemed to be intentionally attracting the Black Fangs here, with the purpose of making them lost in this deep and dense forest, so as to hunt them one by one!

As the "Mole" ran wildly, all these complicated guesses emerged in his mind at the same time.

In his field of vision, he could already see the dim blue-gray light at the edge of the dense forest.

However, suddenly, a golden light flashed in the corner of the "Mole's" eyes, and countless fine golden threads suddenly emerged from his feet, and those threads instantly bound his feet!

This made the "Mole" unable to take another step. Following the inertia, he was thrown forward and fell heavily into the mud with his face down.

Then, a holy spear with golden light suddenly pierced out from the mud and completely penetrated his body!

"Run..."

"Aren't you very good at running?"

A teasing voice came, which was also the last voice that the "Mole" heard.

…

Fuck, the chapter name is wrong, it is locked and cannot be changed, it does not affect reading
