Chapter 33 Assassination

Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and got up from the sleeper.

Although they are two worlds, the physical feelings are unexpectedly similar. Now you can feel that time travel is not completely unchanged, which makes people feel a little confused. It is like a thin film covering your brain. Although it hardly affects your words and deeds, it does not affect your fighting or thinking, but it is a little bit awkward.

This is the case on earth, and it is the case here!

Of course, it would be much better than the feeling that there was a ball of rotten fat in the forehead before. And the astringency could disappear by itself. Zhang Cheng still remembers how the ball of rotten fat disappeared... Just after he killed the group of black people, he had a guess before that he felt that as long as he killed a few things, he could get rid of this uncomfortable feeling.

But for the time being, these can be left behind. Because the sun is shining outside the window, it is another wonderful day.

If this time travel made him understand something, he now knows that the force of each "time travel" is different. When the stream flows at the stream level, the pebbles can be unaffected, but when the stream flows at the stream level, the pebbles will be swept away without hesitation.

Since you are in this world, let’s put aside everything else for the time being and handle things in this world with peace of mind.

Bu did not bring any new news, which shows that the Quanrong messenger had not arrived last night. In this regard, Zhang Cheng was already a little uneasy. According to Doctor Kunwu's estimate, Quanrong (or Dongyi) should have sent someone here now. But he immediately thought that it was an era of war, just like the Quanrong messenger he had killed before, it would be normal for a team of messengers to disappear on the road. In fact, if it weren't for the accident that Hu Fang, Zhang Cheng would have become the missing team.

Although the game indicates the future, it is not certain when this major change will happen... To be honest, it is very likely that the Quanrong envoy and the Kunwu Doctor's army did not have any conflict at all in the game timeline. Because the Kunwu Doctor's small army is likely to be affected by the battle between two gods (perhaps more than two), and the Quanrong successfully transmitted the Jiuyi Division's file to Dongyi.

Then things have returned to the real key, that is, the adventure that was agreed upon with the cat-eared girl. Zhang Cheng can now think that this adventure is the key to the entire Xiaxu change. It is precisely because of this incident that the community led by Nanling has become a ruined area, and there is an extra banshees boss in the dungeon.

This is an adventure that coexists with risks and opportunities. And it is a kind of adventure that is both very big. You know, the former brigade wizard was brutally killed here. This place must be worth tempting a brigade wizard to come.

If you want to quit, now is your last chance.

Standing in the courtyard, he looked at the three horses in the stables - cavalry is not popular these days, and horses are all carriages and horses.

There was a rational voice in his mind telling him that as a wizard, there was also a little bear who could pull the wool of the gods at will, and he had no need to take risks. He just needed to hide away from this place and slowly pull the wool... to accumulate strength. But another voice, or another instinct, a deep-rooted thinking pattern that was cultivated from childhood in a civilized society, was making opposite opinions.

He shook his head, as if he wanted to drive these things out of his mind. This wild world could not tolerate escape. Moreover, this was not a foolish adventure, he had at least three trump cards available.

He walked out the door and happened to see several lizard men moving forward along the street. The relationship between humans and lizard men, or Zhu Xia and Huaiyi, was not particularly tense, but even so, when these lizard men approached, humans would unconsciously avoid it.

Zhang Cheng recognized the lizard men as the Huaiyi merchant and his guards before. Although their steps were rushing, their behavior did not seem to be flustered. Judging from the posture, they should be planning to leave the city. In addition, they were carrying packages on their backs, which should be planning to trade... but they didn't know what the transaction was? Could it be a bulk transaction, such as grain or salt?

The Huaiyi merchant actually recognized Zhang Cheng and waved to him at a long distance. Zhang Cheng also waved instinctively.

Of course, this is just an insignificant little episode. When the backs of the lizard men disappeared from the end of their vision, Zhang Cheng turned his head and stopped caring about this matter.

"That scout just now..." The lizard people walked a little far away, and one of their subordinates couldn't help asking. "Why did you specifically alarm him?"

"If we don't say a word, it's like there's a ghost." The Lizardman businessman replied calmly. "Soon, this scout is not the key."

They walked out of the city gate without any obstacles and walked out through the farming area outside the city. Their speed was so fast that in less than an hour, Xiaxu became a distant small background. There were no farmland around here. Only the animal biting marks everywhere in the bushes showed that this place was still a grazing area.

A small stream runs through this field. In winter, the stream is not deep, so normal people can wader by at will. And at a turning point of the stream, there is a small and medium-sized camp.

"It's true here." The Lizardman businessman laughed and showed his sharp teeth.

Lizards are usually teeth-free, but lizard people have them.

Basic fences and earthen walls were built outside the camp, but they could only be called better than nothing. If it was a large-scale enemy invasion, it might be slightly blocked by these fortifications, but if it was a small number of elite soldiers, it had almost no tactical value.

At the entrance of the camp, two sentries on duty noticed the Lizardman. They immediately made a warning posture, but because the Lizardman came over with a calm attitude, they did not issue an alarm, but watched the other party get closer and closer.

The Lizardman merchant slowed down, and now he could see that the camp should have a small and medium-sized army. The sentries at the entrance of the camp looked fully armed and well-trained.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" A sentry took a few steps forward, blocking their way and asking.

"We are merchants, we are delivered." The Lizardman businessman signaled the pockets he carried on his back.

"Delivery?" The two guards looked at each other. "Who asked you to deliver the goods?"

"Oh, it's a man named Qian." said the Lizardman merchant. "He booked something from me."

The guards looked at each other again. The Huaiyi's words were direct and certain, and they had already believed it by eight points. However, although the Huaiyi merchant was bare-handed, all of his three subordinates were carrying weapons. Although carrying weapons did not mean anything, it always made people a little confused.

"They are my guards." Huaiyi merchant said on his own initiative. "Or why don't they wait here? I'll just go in by myself."

His statement was recognized. So he kept three subordinates outside the camp gate, carried his pockets, and entered the camp under the guidance of a guard.

While following the people leading the way, he looked around and observed the camp. Five chariots... dozens of followers... This means no less than five spell casters, and they are very well-equipped, and they are indeed elite troops.

If this army suddenly launches an attack at a critical moment, it may indeed make people unable to withstand it.

In the big tent in the middle of the camp, the Huaiyi merchant met the human commander named "Qian". He didn't need more, he just needed to see that the other party was an alchemist. Human alchemists usually don't wear armor, but there are always a few guards around him. For example, there is a follower wearing armor next to Qian. His eyes seemed to have a penetrating power, and he felt very uncomfortable when he was watched.

"Are you the businessman who sells killing arrows?" Qian asked immediately after meeting.

"Yes, young master."

"I heard that killing arrows are secret techniques of Dongyi, and they will not be circulated at any time?"

"Ha, young master," Huaiyi merchant smiled flatteringly again. "We always want to live!"

"Well, since I have brought it, let me see it." Qian said. It was a coincidence that this time it was a bright future. He really just sent someone to Xiaxu City to take a look. After all, it was said that Xiaxu was a homeless place, and there were often all kinds of good things that were not known where to come from. Unexpectedly, I heard from the Huaiyi merchant that there was such a thing for sale.

The Huaiyi merchant smiled and took out a long wooden box from his pocket. An arrow was placed in the middle of the box. The arrow was a normal length, with a cone-shaped arrow, sharp and without barbs, and its luster showed that it was not metal, but bone. The arrow feather was completely black, with ominous magic surging in it, and the arrow shaft was regularly inlaid with fine jade.

This is not an ordinary weapon, but a legendary treasure of assassination. It is said that as long as the arrow is engraved with the name of the target and then fired it on a bowstring, it will never fail within a hundred steps, and it will definitely hit the target's heart. Even those races that will not die without a heart cannot escape its killing. Because after being caught in the arrow, the magic of death will immediately damage the enemy's body and destroy the enemy's vitality, and there is no way to fight against this kind of evil. Therefore, this arrow is called a killing arrow.

This is a secret technique that has been passed down for a long time in Dongyi, and it is extremely dangerous and evil. Fortunately, it is very difficult to make this thing, so it is extremely rare. Even before Qian came to Xiaxu, he thought this was just an absurd legend.

Looking at the arrow, his breathing couldn't help but thicken. He knew very well what the consequences would be for adding Zhang Cheng's name on it. Just shoot an arrow at will, and Zhang Cheng will definitely die.

Fifty-two pants on the Beibei! This is the price offered by the Dongyi merchants. But it must be said that if this price is used to sell killing arrows, then Qian will definitely get a big advantage this time. The only trouble with this arrow is that you cannot hold it for too long, because this matter will inevitably be noticed... You can hide it from everyone on the surface, but you can't hide it from ghosts and gods in secret.

But Qian didn't think he would hold it for a long time at all. He had even thought about the opportunity to appear for the arrow.

"Of course the arrow is the price we agreed on, but..." Huaiyi merchant smiled cunningly. "The method of using it requires extra money."

"Damn guy!" Qian cursed, but there was not much anger in his words. This is normal. On the contrary, it is impossible to buy such a thing at a price of fifty puppets. If so, there will be a ghost! On the battlefield, this thing can instantly kill the opponent's general.

"How to use this thing?" he asked. However, Huaiyi did not answer, but looked at the guards beside him.

The Huaiyi merchant was unarmed and had nothing but arrows. Qian didn't think the other party could do anything to him. Even if this guy was disguised by a warrior, he had at least a chance to call for help. So he turned around and ordered his right-camp to leave.

"Now you can say it." He asked again.

"It's very expensive to use!" The Huaiyi merchant had a rich expression, and he looked excited about his tricks.

"Okay, what price to say!" He pretended to be impatient. He was willing to pay a high price, but he was unwilling to be extorted.

"Of course, you have to consider your son..." Huaiyi merchant came closer. Qian was waiting for the other party to offer a price. Suddenly, a cold current penetrated from his back and flowed all over his body in an instant.

He wanted to speak, to move his body, to look back and see what was going on. But his body was completely out of control, and there could only be a slight "climb" sound in his throat. Then he felt something gushing out of his throat uncontrollably, and it took a few seconds to realize it was his own blood.

"You..." This was the last word Qian struggled to say. He couldn't move his head, so he could only barely turn his eyes and see the strange figure appearing beside him.

It was also a Huaiyi, but unlike the Huaiyi merchants opposite, it was a Huaiyi with black scales. No, not only black scales, but also wearing black clothes made of unknown materials. Rather than saying that the black clothes were made of fabric, it was a black shadow. The assassin held a dull short blade in his hand, and there were very fresh blood on the short blade. Qian realized that it was his blood when he saw the blood dripping. He was sneak attacked from his back just now.

The assassin turned his head with satisfaction and looked at his prey coldly. Just now, a blow without mercy, ruthlessly destroyed all Qi's vitality. He struggled, but it was just in vain. Life was leaving him, and at the same time took away all his ambitions, planning, desires and pain. Qi's body collapsed softly to the ground.

The Huaiyi merchant put the killing arrow back into the box. Then he took out a scroll from his pocket. The scroll was made of leather paper, and a very complex and indescribable pattern was drawn with jade powder. However, the moment the scroll was opened, the magic contained in the jade had been activated. It ignited spontaneously, and it burned into useless ashes in a few breaths.

The dead Qian sat up again and maintained the sitting position he had just now.

A few minutes later, the Huaiyi merchant walked out of the tent and said to the guard outside the tent. "I'll leave first. Master Qian asked me to remind me that he needs to meditate for a while. Don't disturb him if you have nothing to do."

The guard lifted up the curtain of the tent door and had not yet asked, but heard Qian's voice: "I have something important to do, don't disturb me." He turned around and wanted to ask what happened to Huaiyi, why did Mr. Qian suddenly want to meditate? But he saw that the other party had already walked away, so he had to give up.
