As a quasi-first-tier city, and as the center itself, radiating to multiple satellite towns to form an economic and transportation hub, housing prices and rents in the city center are very high.
Even if they choose to rent a house in an old community in the suburbs, the cost will be high. Therefore, their initial plan was to join the adventure group as soon as possible, make a name for themselves, make a lot of money, and then move into a big villa.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Because the three of them have just graduated and still have a hint of ivory tower arrogance, there is nothing wrong with that. They are not called young people if they are not arrogant.
But the result is that the bad adventure groups look down on them, and the competition for the good ones is fierce. Even if they want to work part-time to move bricks, they only want undead beast masters, especially the skeletons who can work day and night.
Meals included.
Roll, just fucking roll!
Capitalists should hang them on street lights!
As a result, a month has passed and the three of them have not found a suitable job.
During this period, the feed that the beast masters eat is also very expensive. This does not mean that hunger during the senior official period will affect the beast master's potential, unless they do not want to become a powerful beast master.
As a result, the money brought from home can only last for another half month. If you still can't get it done by then, you will have no choice but to go back in despair.
So the three of them gathered around for a small meeting and re-determined a new direction. Their goal changed from becoming a big shot to becoming an excellent bounty hunter.
After all, before the spring comes and the snow comes, I have to be a humble person for a while.
The first task they took on was to hunt down hyenas with the highest rewards.
This is the starting point to achieve their legend.
"caught you!"
Song Yue also caught Zhao Bin who was deliberately letting off steam, and punched the opponent's shoulder fiercely several times. The latter also pretended to be in pain, which was considered to be relieved.
The three of them gathered together, and Chen Chi, who acted as a think tank, pointed at the map and said:
"Further forward, there is the rune fence at the junction of the abandoned city and the XC area. It is engraved with rituals that can block the invasion of monsters, but it has no effect on humans. Let's just climb over and arrive."
Zhao Bin couldn't wait any longer: "Hurry up then, my frugality during this period has almost made me lose my temper. When I make money, I'll treat you to a big dinner."
"Speak more politely!" Song Yue rolled her eyes at him and said with some worry: "Why did we come here ten minutes early? Didn't the owner's committee member say that there are four more people? Why don't you wait for him and face epilepsy?
For monsters like hyenas that hunt in groups, one more person will give them more strength."
Hearing this, Chen Chi lowered his head and thought, while Zhao Bin on the side waved his hand and said indifferently:
"We are already a mature team. Not only are our strengths at the peak of red copper, but I can be the tank, you are the wet nurse, and Chen Chi is the control and command. It is already perfect. But having a stranger in the mix makes it difficult to cooperate.
It's just because the client forced the task to require four people, so the extra person is actually not needed. What's more, we don't have to eat alone. When the task is completed, we can just give him his share, and there is no need to do it.
You can get money if you work, and people can be happy and bloom..."
Having said that, Zhao Bin actually has some thoughts of his own.
It was because he wanted to show off his power in front of Song Yue. It would be better if he could heroically save the beauty. Maybe it would warm up the relationship.
If a stranger joins, whether he is too strong or too weak, things will become uncontrollable.
Sorry, stranger, I have wronged you this time. When the time comes, I will take my share of the mission reward and transfer it to you three thousand more!
Zhao Bin thought secretly in his heart and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chen Chi glanced at him and instantly saw what he was thinking, without revealing it, he echoed:
"Zhao Bin is right. Whether strangers can cooperate with us is second. We are afraid of encountering some dark beast masters. They like to disguise themselves and backstab newcomers, plunder pets and money, and they must be on guard against others. Let's go there
Just calculate the money for him when the time comes."
"What you said makes sense..."
Song Yue was also a little scared after being told that, so she nodded, and the three of them quickly arrived in front of the rune iron fence according to the map.
Many of the runes on it have been damaged, and some small holes have appeared in the iron net. Although the Stars and Beasts Tower is still operating, people in the nearby communities are already panicking.
After all, low-level monsters have infiltrated before. Even though it was decades ago and they were quickly exterminated, I am still afraid that I will become an exception.
The three of them climbed over the barbed wire fence, and after about ten minutes' journey, they soon arrived at the outskirts of the abandoned city.
"Is this the abandoned old town of Dayuan City..."
Song Yue opened her mouth wide in surprise. What came into view was a patch of ruins. The originally glorious high-rise buildings were in dilapidated condition.
The strangest thing is that both the ground and the buildings are covered with a thick layer of reddish-brown rust, even on the glass.
And among this large amount of rust, a large number of wall-climbing plants, wall-creeping tigers, vine roses, five-leaf aphrodisiacs, bougainvillea, etc. grew, but the color turned reddish brown and regained life in this ruins.
Rebirth.
Chen Chi looked at his surprised childhood sweetheart and explained with a smile: "I checked the information and found out that the reason why this old city was abandoned was because a group of evil believers held a sacrificial ceremony here decades ago.
The flesh and blood of tens of thousands of people summoned a powerful descendant of the evil god, which killed countless people.
Although it was repelled by the powerful alliance in the end, the aftermath of the battle spread throughout the city, covering it with a thick layer of rust and making it no longer suitable for habitation. Therefore, a new city could only be built not far away. The old city was used as a waste to fight monsters.
It is a buffer point, so there are also a large number of powerful creatures entrenched in the central urban area.”
"What! Are you saying that these rusts are not naturally oxidized? They are the remnants of the power of those strong men!?"
Song Yue's eyes widened. From her perspective, she could not imagine how powerful it was. Just the aftermath of the battle caused a huge city where millions of people lived to be reduced to ruins.
Such existences are no different from gods and demons, right?
Chen Chi nodded and exclaimed: "I was also shocked when I checked the information. These existences that are like natural disasters seem to control the power called [Domain]. I just don't know if this rust is a member of the evil god or a descendant of the evil god.
Caused by the strong men of the alliance..."
"No matter who he is, he is very powerful. I hope I can become such a top expert one day!" Zhao Bin looked yearning, eager that one day he could turn his hands into clouds and rain.
After marveling for a while, the three of them quickly adjusted their emotions. After all, their primary goal was to hunt epileptic hyenas.
After more than ten minutes of searching, we soon discovered a dozen wandering hyenas in front of an abandoned convenience store!
Their body size is similar to that of ordinary hyenas, and their heads are still intact, but their original flesh and blood bodies have rotted, showing a dark red color. The flesh and blood in their chests have fallen off, revealing dense white bones. In the chest cavity of such a rotten body, there are
A bloody heart that glows red.
There are a large number of slender red tentacles growing on it, spreading out from the gaps in the bones, twisting irregularly, and looking extremely weird.
These tentacles are like living creatures. As the hyena lowers its head, it also stretches across the ground, seeming to explore life.
One of the epileptic hyenas kept probing and discovered a rust-covered beetle. Just as it was about to escape, it was caught by a large number of bloody tentacles, torn into pieces with a click, devoured, and finally fed to the bloody heart.
In addition to sharp claws and fangs, there are also tentacles as means of attack.
"Disgusting……"
Song Yue couldn't help but frown. Chen Chi was also a little uncomfortable and reminded:
"I read in a book that the epileptic blood hound is probably a corrupted species of bloodthirsty hound. Because it swallows a large amount of blood, during the spiritual transformation process, it is easy to sense a hidden existence named [Elepsy God] and be possessed by it.
Pollution causes the heart to mutate, continuously producing [epileptic blood] and tentacles that drive hyenas crazy.
During this process, they will frantically attack all living creatures, even their former tribesmen and descendants. Even if their bodies rot in the end, their consciousness will be fused with this heart, enslaving the rotten bodies to continue to hunt for it.
, but if you can restrain this madness, you will usher in evolution..."
While they were talking, several epileptic hyenas suddenly raised their heads, and they keenly smelled the breath of living people.
"Ouch!"
Accompanied by the voice calling for their companions, the hyenas gathered together, looked at the three people with violent eyes, let out ferocious roars, and rushed towards them like a torrent of blood...
