Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Outside Chenxi Town, there is a dark forest full of eerie tranquility.

Two figures wearing pitch black cloaks walked silently through the forest.

They moved quickly, but even while moving quickly, they didn't make any big noise.

Their purpose was clear, and the crimson pupils under their cloaks were fixed on one direction - that was the direction of the nearest town - "Morning Town", which was also their destination.

"Morris..."

A low voice came from the cloak on the left, with a questioning tone, "Do you think the 'defector' named Intis is really in this town?"

"...You have overstepped your bounds, Ferd."

The man called "Maurice" responded sharply:

"You should not doubt the judgment of the 'Honored Lord'... If the Lord says it is, then it will be."

"..." Feld was speechless for a moment. Suddenly, a slightly fishy wind blew by his ears, and an old and vague voice reached their ears.

"Don't doubt...don't doubt...

You are my eyes and my sharp blades...

Get rid of your distracting thoughts, find and bring back the 'two-faced doll' stolen by the traitors..."

When they heard this sound, Morris and Feld's expressions changed, and under the blue-white moonlight, their eyes became increasingly crimson.

"I will obey your will..."

The two people spoke in panic, and after a sentence rolled out of their throats, they continued to rush towards Chenxi Town.

…

In the morning light of the night, the cyan moonlight shines on the eaves and casts deep shadows on the ground, giving the night a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

And just on the edge of the town - under an abandoned wall near the dark forest, a young man in dark priest robes was crouching behind the abandoned wall.

In this corner where the cyan moonlight cannot reach, the dark night is the best protective color.

Luo Xiu knew the location of the nearest "Blood of Thorns" stronghold, and also remembered the scene of the first murder caused by the "blood disciples' invasion", from which he could roughly judge the invasion direction and action route of the two blood disciples.

Looking at the loaded and inferior "Judgment" fire gun that he held tightly in his hand, Luo Xiu tensed up, waiting for the arrival of the blood disciples.

"I hope the route I guessed is correct..." Luo Xiu thought to himself, "If the blood disciples don't take this route, the next invasion of the 'Blood of Thorns' will be even more difficult..."

He prayed from the bottom of his heart, praying for the blessings of the glorious pillar god "The Sun Maker". Suddenly, Luo Xiu felt that he should pray to the pillar god of the abyss "The Lord of the Abyss"...

Many disrespectful thoughts came to his mind. Luo Xiu shook his head mockingly, put these thoughts aside and concentrated on waiting.

…

At midnight.

Luo Xiu, who was lying low in the corner, suddenly noticed something strange.

The scene in the distance began to change, and four red dots were looming, approaching his location.

These red dots were approaching very fast, and gradually they could smell the fishy smell of wild beasts.

An invisible big hand squeezed Luo Xiu's heart tightly.

Under the night wind, Luo Xiu could clearly hear his own heartbeat like a drum. He slightly poked his head out from the side of the ruined wall and clearly saw the four increasingly eye-catching red dots.

They were two figures wearing black cloaks, with blurred faces and eyes as scarlet as blood.

Bloody!

Luo Xiu, who often dealt with this group of cultists in his previous life, could confirm it almost at a glance - they were the two blood invaders from the "Blood of Thorns"!

As they approached Chenxi Town, the scarlet light in the eyes of the two blood disciples gradually dimmed, but the beast-like auras all over their bodies were still strong.

Like a savage who has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, he gives people a violent and bloody intuition, like drinking blood from his hair.

It wasn't until he entered the outskirts of the town that the beast-like aura gradually subsided and he began to disguise himself as a normal person.

At this time, the blood disciples had arrived very close to Luo Xiu's hiding place.

Luo Xiu held his breath and concentrated, and began to carefully observe the two intruders through the gaps in the ruined wall.

Through the player panel, Luo Xiu threw a detection at one of the blood disciples and received feedback quickly.

[Maurice Landwich (lv.13, ordinary NPC)]

【……】

This blood disciple named Maurice Landewitch has strength and agility attributes that cannot be detected. According to the panel detection logic that Luo Xiu knows, these should be Morris's two highest attributes.

In addition, Maurice's skills and skills cannot be viewed. Luo Xiu, who has not yet been promoted to extraordinary, can only see part of the information about the second level extraordinary person, but this is enough.

It's scary... The third highest "Physique" is more than twice mine, which means this guy has twice my HP... Luo Xiu thought as he threw it to another blood disciple. detection.

Another blood disciple is called Fuld Steer, with a level of lv.11. His visible attribute values ​​are slightly lower than Morris, but his health volume is also over 100.

Luo Xiu, who was lying low behind the ruined wall, noticed that the two blood disciples were starting to talk about something, so he listened attentively.

"...We can't go in together, one person must stay here to guard it."

This is Morris's voice, with a slightly high pitch:

"So, you go in alone... If you die, or if you don't come back by dawn, I will report the news of your death to the Lord."

The blood disciple named Feld was obviously stunned for a while, and then protested in a low voice: "Why! Why! If I really encounter Intis, you are asking me to die!"

"...These are the rules set by the Lord, Fuld. Do you want to disobey the Lord's will? Or do you want to take my place?"

Morris said in a low voice:

“For this operation, I am the ‘Thorn’ appointed by the Lord. If you don’t go, I will kill you now.

I have this ability and this power, hehehe...

Moreover, you don’t need to fight Intis, you just need to find her, well, find her and attract her here, and we can work together to deal with her..."

Intis? This name sounds so familiar...

Luo Xiu's mind was thinking rapidly, trying to retrieve the origin of this name from his memory, while continuing to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two blood disciples.

Feld was silent for a while, then nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll go in..."

Fuld gritted his teeth and said, "But if I am discovered, I will give priority to protecting myself..."

"Can."

Morris nodded and then handed Feld a bone whistle, "If anything happens, blow this bone whistle and I will lend you my power..."

Fuld took the bone whistle, then stretched out his hand to lower his cloak, and then turned back into the shadow of Dawn Town.

Watching Feld's figure gradually disappear, Morris seemed to feel quite relaxed. After looking around for a while, he walked away from Morningside Town.

What Morris didn't know was that at this moment, a black gun was aimed at his head.
