In the darkness of the trees, invisible dangers lurk deep within.
In the vast night, two firelights gradually approached from a distance.
You can vaguely hear the intermittent voices: "Where did that kid go? Hey, Jiabo, do you think that little bastard is a real mage?"
"Bah! I don't believe his tricks, but since he dares to steal the lord's treasure, his origins must not be that simple. I guess he is one of the group of people who have been causing trouble in the south recently."
"You mean that guy is a member of the Black Clothes?"
"Shh, keep your voice down! These three words are sensitive words. If the captain hears them, be careful not to eat them and take them away! I heard that these people have been very active in the south recently and have assassinated the lords of several small towns one after another.
He is a dragon man, and he was very arrogant at the moment."
"But having said that, if we hadn't signed a dragon-blood contract, we wouldn't have survived if the lord died. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to go against the people in black... Those damn caterpillars took away our territory and made it their own.
, hum hum…”
The fire gradually approached, and the two guards, who were not quite young, held their torches high and approached the bushes.
"Hey, Jabber! Isn't this the area where the kid escaped into the portal just now? Do we still need to search?" The tall man pouted angrily at the dark bushes, obviously unwilling to walk into a place full of thorns.
In the woods, not to mention it is still a summer night, the elusive snakes are likely to surprise the uninvited guests who dare to break into their territory.
"Can't slack off." Jia Boyan said concisely: "This is the captain's order. The bottle of eternity has been smashed by that kid. The lord will definitely be furious. If he can't catch that kid again... I don't want to give him even a little bit."
You know the chance to get angry at us."
The tall man shrugged and said nothing more, and the two walked absentmindedly toward the bushes.
The trees are not high, but they are tight enough to easily hide an underage boy.
Duran's body was bent into an arch shape, with his hands on the ground and his waist, calmly looking at the two members of the Lord's Guard who were gradually approaching.
"Both of them are of gray iron strength, almost level 15." Dulan silently estimated in his mind that if they faced each other head-on, Dulan would have no hope of winning.
Even though his level quickly rose to level seven after killing the evil spirit Arabelle, there was still a big gap between his absolute strength and the two defenders.
But there is always a way, right?
Duran took a deep breath and whispered: "Ds'rego! (Dwarf: disappear)"
A vague mist slowly rose from the surface of his body, and this mist surrounded him. Everything around him seemed to be completely isolated from him, and the surrounding scenes became sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.
The [Stealth] skill was activated quietly. Some key points of stealth flashed through Dulan's mind, and then he took a step back gently, hiding his thin body between the mountain col and a few shrubs. Stealth can block the enemy's perception, but
Unlike invisibility, it is possible to be discovered while sneaking.
If you don't hide cleverly enough, the sneaking assassin will be completely exposed under strong light.
It is precisely because of this that the dwarves have a famous saying: Never be superstitious about the power of disguise, darkness is the best disguise.
Dulan held his breath and pressed his whole body against the mountain wall.
The next moment, the tree branch in front of him was pushed aside, and the fire light came in violently. The two members of the Lord's Guard looked around expressionlessly, and finally concluded: "No one!"
The branches in front were closed again, and the two turned around, preparing to look for traces of Dulan elsewhere. At this moment, Dulan moved——
His movements were quick and fast, as if the eagle that had been hovering in the sky for three days and three nights finally found a flaw and pounced on the poor but unaware prey. Silently, Dulan's left hand hugged it fiercely.
He met the guard named "Jiabo".
Before the other party could react, Duran's right foot kicked hard on the back of Jabber's knees. The guy was caught off guard and fell backwards.
"Yes..." Before Jiabo could draw his weapon, he just shouted a word. The cold blade quickly cut across his throat, and Yin Hong's blood surged out from the artery. In an instant, the torch was thrown in
He lay on the ground and indifferently illuminated the scene of blood spurting into a clear shadow on the mountain wall to the west.
"Jab!"
When Jiabo and Duran both fell backwards, the tall man reacted. However, when he pulled out his long sword, what he saw was his vice-captain staring with unwilling eyes, blood splattered
Five steps - but the assassin sneered, holding the dagger and following Jiabo's body as he fell down.
"No!"
The tall man let out a heart-rending roar, and took a step forward in a rage, wanting to stab Dulan to death with his own hands.
However, Duran fell to the ground calmly. He didn't even prepare to use his hands to support him, he just fell straight down.
"boom!"
This series of actions all happened in a flash of lightning. Duran fell to the ground and was pressed by Jiabo's heavy body. However, he remained calm as before and casually threw away the oak thorn. He opened the five fingers of his right hand and expressed his anger.
The tall man soaring to the sky smiled slightly:
"Web! (Human lingua franca: net)"
The mysterious and exquisite ring on the middle finger of Dulan's right hand suddenly glowed brightly. In an instant, it seemed as if countless witches were chanting ancient spells in low voices - a huge spider web fell from the sky, covering the tall man completely.
Live online.
Spider web art!
After his plan succeeded, Duran pushed Jabo's body to his side, then bent down to pick up the oak thorn, and ran a few steps into the darkness of the valley.
The huge spider web was sticky and elastic, and the wet mucus made the tall man miserable. He frantically slashed at the sticky and tough spider web with his long sword, but all this was in vain. When the lord's guard in the valley
When the others heard the sound and arrived, the tall man still couldn't break free from the shackles of the spider web by his own ability.
"Snapped!"
Two rays of sword energy easily broke open the cobweb. The captain of the Lord's Guard looked at Jiabo's body lying on the ground with a cold face and asked: "Who did it?"
The tall man clenched the sword in his hand angrily: "It was that boy, he killed Jia Bo! I don't know where he suddenly jumped out from, Jia Bo was killed by him before he had time to react. I wanted to avenge him.
, but he knows magic, and I am trapped..."
"That's enough!" The handsome man in black looked increasingly worried. As the captain of the lord's guard, his deputy was assassinated, which was a provocation to him!
His voice suddenly became lowered: "Take Jia Bo's body and let me work in groups of three to continue the search! Be careful, especially in the dark places where people may be hiding!"
"Captain, I heard that Jiabo is dead?"
Two people suddenly ran over in the darkness and asked blankly.
When the big man saw these two people, he suddenly became furious and said, "What's going on with you two? I asked you to secure the entrance of the valley, why did you run in?"
The two people looked at each other and said: "Didn't you send someone to tell us that the kid has been caught and we don't need to guard him anymore? We heard that Jiabo died trying to capture the kid, so we came over to take a look..."
The big man cursed: "When will I send someone..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses: "Who is it that told you that that kid has been caught?"
The two people seemed to vaguely sense that something was wrong, and said somewhat submissively: "The man said that he lost his torch, so we didn't see what he looked like..."
Another person interjected: "He said he is new here, but he has a guard badge. We checked it and it should be one of our own."
The big man ordered with a livid face: "Look over Jiabo's body and see if the token is still there."
All the team members looked embarrassed. The big man quickly turned over Jiabo's body, scratched his head and said, "Jiabo's token seems to be gone..."
The handsome man took a deep breath, his chest heaved up and down, and he was obviously extremely angry. He said coldly: "Carry Jia Bo back, let's go."
The two people stood there uneasily. It was at this moment that they suddenly realized that they seemed to have messed up.
Everyone wisely picked up Jia Bo's body and quickly walked towards the entrance of the valley.
"Captain, we..." the two men asked tremblingly.
The big man turned around and walked away with a long stride. He just snorted coldly: "Idiot!"
…
"idiot!"
Dulan was walking down the mountain at night, happily playing with the wooden token in his hand.
The moment he killed Jabo, he noticed the token hanging on his waist. Duran took a keen look at the big man and found that he also had the exact same sign. Obviously, this
It is the symbol of the Lord's Guard.
So after Duran used the spider web technique to trap the tall man, he easily took the token from Jiabo and put it into his arms.
When he escaped to the entrance of the valley, he found that there were still two people guarding him. In the mood of giving it a try, he threw the token to the two people and then told a lie. Such a clumsy lie made it difficult for Duran himself to tell it.
Neither of them believed it, but who knew that these two brothers were so convinced that they immediately left their posts without permission, which made Dulan, who was hiding in the darkness, burst into laughter and easily left the valley by sneaking and running quickly.
After Dulan learned stealth in the Bone Burial Village, he tried several times and left the evil place. Fortunately, when he left immediately, the portal was not as arrogant as before, and Dulan was directly teleported to the evil place where he first entered.
place. After leaving the evil place, Duran found that all the wounds on his body had been healed by a mysterious force, which made him feel a little dazed. If it weren't for the oak thorns and terrifying gloves on his hands, he might have died.
I wondered if I had just had a ridiculous dream.
Through the narrative in the Evil Contract, Dulan knew that the time flow rate between the Evil Land and Feinan Continent was ten to one, which meant that Dulan spent ten full days in the Evil Land and only one day passed on Feinan Continent.
.
This is not good news for Duran. It means that the Lord Guards in the valley are still searching for him. However, Duran, whose strength has been greatly improved, is not afraid. His stealth skills allow him to firmly occupy the initiative, even if he is not touched.
With these two best buddies guarding the entrance to the valley, Duran had many ways to escape calmly.
At this moment, he was walking on the mountain path of Mount Helga. This mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles is very majestic, but the original owner is very familiar with this place. By reading the memory, Duran can also successfully find the way down the mountain.
He originally planned to sneak down the mountain and immediately run as far away as possible from the dragon mage Andrew.
Who knew that when he thought this, an unstoppable emotion suddenly emerged in his heart, opposing him to do so. The memory of the original owner penetrated into Dulan's thoughts, urging him to take the risk of sneaking into Baisha Town and find out what the teacher was doing.
How is the assassination operation with other men in black going?
"Hey, kid, listen, I can't do this." Duran said to the memory in his mind, but another voice sounded in his ears:
"No, you have to do this!"
"Why?"
"Because you are Duran."
As the boy's immature voice sounded in Dulan's heart, countless images flashed through his mind instantly——
As the sun set, two long figures stretched out on the cliff on the west side of Helga Mountain. The thin boy jumped up on the wooden stake in front of him, then jumped off, jumping up and down repeatedly. His feet were tied with thick
sandbags, head covered with sweat.
"Teacher, I'm tired." The boy's beating became slower, and he struggled to maintain his movements without deformation.
The tall man said gently to the boy:
"Did you know? Duran, you will become a much more powerful assassin than me. You are a born assassin, the king of assassins."
"For this goal, you can't give up training even if you are tired."
The young man gritted his teeth, with the flame of faith burning in his eyes: "Well! I won't give up!"
"I am Dulan, and one day, I will become...the king of assassins!"
