Chapter 383 Holy Spring Water and Secret Power (4000)

Chapter 383 Holy Spring Water and Secret Power (4000)

Feilengcui, District 7, the interior of a single-family house.

"Are all the assassins sent to assassinate you dead?"

Soth, a tall man with blond hair, sat on the sofa. When he heard the report from his subordinates, the action of raising the wine glass froze in mid-air.

Bang, the cup filled with wine fell heavily on the coffee table.

Some of the reddish-purple liquid inside sloshed out.

Five minutes later, South's back was pressed against the backrest. He crossed his arms across his chest and frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't expect that such a small thing would fail. The royal family has investigated the black and bronze hunter that Blood Ax Heb favored, but his strength is not outstanding. However, this time, the overall strength of the three killers hired through the Shadow Thorn organization ranged from Bai Yao level to dark gold level. If the three of them join forces, I'm afraid even a dark gold level hunter can assassinate him.

As a result, the final situation was completely different from what was expected.

Three killers died, and the last one died in a special way. He blew himself up on the spot in front of Soth's men. It seemed that he was trying to deter the forces behind the assassination of Bai Kui in this way.

"Is it the hunter named Bai Kui who hides his strength?"

Soth picked up the wine glass again and took a sip of red wine. Let the sourness of the wine spread down your throat and into your stomach. He pondered for a moment, then quickly shook his head, rejecting this possibility on the spot.

Bai Kui's probability of hiding her strength is the lowest. Because twenty days ago, Bai Kui had just carried out a team mission and narrowly escaped death.

Afterwards, I lay in the hospital bed for half a month before I managed to survive.

This cannot be false. The royal family specifically went to the nursing home to inquire. Therefore, there are only two other possibilities for the failed assassination.

First, there is interference within the Hongli Council and the Dark Hunting organization, especially the Dark Hunting organization. If Bai Kui submits the badge of honor, it will arouse hostility from all forces in the future. This is definitely known to the Hunter Association and the agency director.

They might have secretly sent experts to protect hunter Bai Kui.

Second, the branches of the Dark Hunting Organization in various places, and the old hunters who hold local authority have regrouped. I want to cultivate Bai Kui as a representative of the younger generation. This is the most likely, because Bloodaxe Herb is one of the old hunters and has a lot of say. In addition, the qualification to become a shadow hunter does not have to be used now. Bai Kui can be trained for more than ten years, waiting for the second opportunity to become a shadow hunter. Before that, the old hunters would definitely send people to protect them.

If you think about it this way, the failed assassination seems not unfair.

"You're lucky, kid."

The fierce light in Soth's pupils gradually became restrained. He has no plans to take action against Bai Kui in the near future. Of course, this does not mean that he has taken this breath. Soth has the confidence to represent the royal family as a shadow hunter, and the winner of this position will be competed for in the next two months. He planned to wait until he became the new Shadow Hunter before he could spare time to deal with Herb and Bai Kui.

On the other side, Feilengcui, District 2, is in a dark street.

The black figure strolled forward in the shadow of the corner, like a silent shadow. He's quick on his feet and knows his way around the streets. After more than a dozen turns, we suddenly came to a small house.

The moonlight shines obliquely on the top tiles of the tall building, casting huge shadows slanting down. The hut was immediately covered, making it even darker.

The black figure stood under the moonlight and slowly lowered his cloak.

He is a young man with black hair and black eyes. He has a delicate face, but his eyebrows are extremely sharp, and his eyes give people a deep and cold feeling. If I had to describe it specifically, it would probably be a black knife, a black blade unsheathed.

The moonlight draped over the young man's body like a light gauze garment, casting a shadow slantingly onto the wall. It was a human-shaped figure, but beside the outline there were many black tentacle-like things with teeth and claws.

If you look closely, you will find that they are actually thorns. They densely packed the young people inside.

Like a poisonous thorn flower blooming.

The person coming is none other than Solomon the Thorn.

He glanced at the moonlight above his head and walked directly towards the cabin.

Standing in the shadow, he raised his hand and gently knocked on the door five times.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"come in."

A voice came from inside, which was obviously the secret code for the appointment.

Solomon immediately pushed the door open and closed the door behind his back. The environment inside was very dark, with only the thin moonlight shining through the cracks in the windows.

In the corner of the wall, a tall cloaked figure slowly emerged.

"Zhuhun, what do you want from me this time?"

Solomon spoke first, and his steps stopped in place.

The cloaked man known as the Candle Soul didn't say a word. He suddenly walked out of the darkness and threw something to Solomon.

Solomon took it and took a look, his pupils shrank slightly. This is clearly a secret book, and he is very familiar with it. It is the second level of the Secret Art of the Thorn of Sin, which involves how to use the poison of the Thorn of Sin to stimulate physical practice.

Moreover, there is an explosive secret method inside. The thorns of sin can be reversely invaded into the body and wander between the skin and flesh. It can draw burning blood and explosively increase physical strength.

"This is?"

Solomon suppressed the joy in his heart and asked tentatively.

"This time, you must become a shadow hunter of the Dark Hunting Organization..."

Zhu Hun said: "At the Hunter Association headquarters, among the thousands of hunters, only Shadow Hunters and Holy Glory Hunters are qualified to go to the source of the Holy Spring. There, the hunters will get an opportunity to soak in the Holy Spring. . We need you to do something at that time. Don’t worry, the means we provide will never be discovered..."

"What is it? Can you tell me more carefully?"

Solomon said this, but he already had a guess in his heart. The reason why the Dark Hunting Organization has been able to endure in the Hongli Empire for thousands of years is that it has always been an official supernatural force to suppress the supernatural world. The holy spring is indispensable.

Once something goes wrong with the holy spring, the entire organization will be in shock.

"I can't tell you now. I will tell you naturally when you become a Shadow Hunter." Zhu Hun continued: "I have given you the second chapter of the Secret Art of the Thorn Thorn. I believe your strength is There will be staged improvements in the next month. What you need to do is to become a shadow hunter without any doubt, and we will help you..."

His voice was low and had an eerie feel to it.

"What do you mean?" Solomon frowned slightly.

"Don't care about glory or disgrace, being able to become a shadow hunter is the most important thing. There are three candidates in total, and I will try my best to help you eliminate one. After all, Feilengcui, as the imperial capital, is not that easy to do..."

Zhu Hun's tone suddenly changed: "Oh, by the way. There should be four places, as well as the hunter named Bai Kui. I won't help you solve this problem. After all, there is no threat to the black and bronze level. You can go …”

Solomon nodded and carefully put the secret book into his arms.

With a creak, the door opened and closed.

Zhu Hun stood in the shadow by the window, looking at where he didn't know where to look.

"Acquiring strength through external forces is the most dangerous and prone to disadvantages. The Dark Hunting Organization succeeds in the Holy Spring, but it may fail in the Holy Spring..."

Within the Dark Hunting Organization, there has always been a fact that is not true. Hunters use the water from the holy spring to increase their strength and fight against the dark creatures on the empire's territory. As time goes by, these battle-hardened hunters will gradually develop headaches, irritability, and loss of sanity. It's a bit like the aftereffects of war, but actually more like the bestialization of dark creatures.

Some hunters believe that this is because they were injured in missions and were corroded by the power of dark creatures. But in fact, this only accounts for a very small part of the reasons. The deeper reasons lie in the source.

The water of the holy spring contains power and also contains disaster.

Although it is only an insignificant little bit, under the cumulative effect over time, there will always be a day when it breaks out. What Zhuhun and the organization behind him want is nothing more than to make this explosion more violent.

After all, an organization with a history of nearly a thousand years is not that easy to deal with. Not to mention, the organization is still an official force of the empire.

Time goes back to 7pm tonight.

In the dead of night, in the emerald green, in the outer suburbs, there is an abandoned monastery.

Card Xiu met the ghost man and his friend, the Iron Knight. Regarding the assassination episode, the three of them didn't pay much attention. They talked more about the world of disaster and Black Rain Villa. That's what's worth talking about.

As soon as the ghost man and Card Xiu met, he gave Card Xiu the hunter badge and the concentrated secret power that he had promised before. And he began to enthusiastically introduce his friend, who was also a top knight-level imprinter.

What I want to express couldn't be simpler, I've found one more person to join the team.

Someone wanted to work for him, and he was a master of martial arts, so Ka Xiu was happy to accept it. You know, although he does not have access to the black source of blood obtained by the ghosts and iron knights from hunting dark creatures, the life vibration energy on the corpse can only be absorbed by Ka Xiu.

Every time ghosts and iron knights want to use the asylum tower to expel the breath of disaster from their bodies, they need to pay an entrance fee. That is the demon seed that Ka Xiu separated to absorb life vibration energy. He has studied it carefully and can use a large amount of demon spirit to condense special demon species.

Temporarily stored in a fixed part of the two people's bodies, such as fingers.

In this case, the demon seed can absorb and temporarily store life vibration energy. This kind of demon has a time limit. If it does not return to its body for more than twenty-four hours, it will automatically dissipate.

The two ghosts don't have to worry too much about the alien energy in their bodies.

This demon seed can be used as an external prop similar to a hunter badge. After killing the dark creature, absorb it easily.

The operation process is not difficult and simple.

During the exchange between the three, Kaxiu did not disclose the information about the secret drug of suspended animation. It was not the time yet. After the cooperation between several people became somewhat familiar and tacit, and he returned to the level of a fighter.

He can truly develop external forces unscrupulously.

Card Xiu believes that no top knight-level imprinter in Black Rain Villa will remain unmoved. This is the only chance to escape from the control of Black Rain Villa! If you pass this village, it is very likely that this store will not exist.

There are rare things to live in, so there is no need to worry about not attracting experts to join.

The exchange between the three ended, and before leaving, Ka Xiu asked the ghost man a favor. Take down the headquarters of the Shadow Assassin organization and find out who is planning to assassinate him. In this regard, Ghost Man is quite professional.

Ka Xiu was not prepared to take matters into his own hands. After all, his body has not recovered to that of a fighter, and he cannot bear the power of his spirit. In addition, he had just obtained the power of the secret soul and wanted to study it carefully.

So he had to ask the ghost to go there, just as a favor.

The ghost said that it was no problem at all, and this little thing was not worth any favor. Moreover, he came to Florence and happened to accept a mission at Black Rain Villa, and he might have to stay for a few days. In the intervals between missions, it was no problem to destroy an assassin organization.

At the latest in three days, at the earliest in one day, Kaxiu would hear the news of the destruction of the Shadow Thorn Organization. As for asking about the forces behind it, the ghost was also somewhat confident. In his opinion, there was a time when the iron mouth could be pried open.

It was true that the Shadow Thorn Organization was famous for keeping its mouth shut, but under the threat of death, there would always be cowards who would kneel down and tell the information.

In order to pray that the ghost would let him go.

He had seen this situation many times.

In the abandoned monastery, the three of them had a good chat and planned to meet together in the disaster world Ash City at the boundary of night and day tomorrow.

At about 8:30 in the evening, Kaxiu returned to Florence alone.

He entered the hunter's apartment, into a private hidden room.

The oil lamp lit up, and the pale yellow candlelight illuminated the entire living room.

Kaxiu sat in front of a table with a triangular badge on the table. It looked like metal, but it inexplicably had a stone texture.

On the other side of the badge was a bottle half the size of a fist.

Kaxiu reached out and opened the tightly sealed bottle stopper.

Suddenly, a familiar smell came out of it. It was a faint cold feeling, like the cold and deep flowing water under the moonlight.

This is the power of the secret soul, a specialty of the Baptismal Church of Black Rain Villa.

Kaxiu was very familiar with this thing when he went back for the third time. It is a kind of energy with special properties that can enhance and strengthen the power of various schools in Black Rain Villa. Kaxiu even used it to enhance the hard Qigong and wind-like secret martial arts. This means that the power of the secret soul can act on the three origins of the human body, the physical spirit, the spirit and the spirit, and the rank is very high.

Coincidentally, the holy spring water of the Dark Hunter Organization also has properties similar to the power of the secret soul. The new hunters who joined from outside have all kinds of source energy, whether it is physical, spirit, or spiritual. However, they can all increase the power of source energy through the holy spring water. Therefore, Kaxiu couldn't help but feel a little curious. What would happen if the holy spring water and the power of the secret soul were combined? Are the two of them of the same origin? Or are they oppositely repelled? He vaguely felt that if he could figure this out, he would gain huge benefits!
