Pale Emblem

In the middle of the night, a silver moon hangs high in the night sky, and the quiet and bright moonlight is like layers of tulle, gently covering Water Snake Town.

On a cold night, the residents of the small town who had been busy all day fell asleep.The barking of domestic dogs occasionally echoed in the streets, which instead set off the town surrounded by an atmosphere called tranquility.

Six figures of different heights shuttled through the depths of the streets and alleys intertwined with light and darkness. They were all wrapped in gray-black thick leather cloaks and soft-soled leather boots. Down, so as to hide the traces.

The civilian area of ​​Water Snake Town is densely populated. Even with the cover of night and shadows, it is impossible to avoid everyone's eyes and ears when walking on the road.However, the houses and buildings here are very crowded, with criss-cross lanes and twists and turns, like a cobweb maze.Even native-born locals often go the wrong way when they go home in the dark. It is conceivable how difficult it is to track moving targets in such complex streets and alleys.

Victor fully evolved the environment of Water Snake Town, as if he had an all-round and three-dimensional map in his mind, which could correspond to reality.It is impossible for him to get lost here with his eyes closed.

Victor led Harvey and others through a narrow alley that could only be passed sideways, and broke into the back street.Seeing them suddenly, two stray dogs tucked their tails, ducked into a corner and barked loudly.

"Pfft", "Pfft", Harvey popped out two copper coins with his fingers, like throwing two sharp stone bullets with a bow, killing them immediately.

The half howl of the domestic dog before it died caused trouble.Some residents got up, walked quietly to the window, and looked out cautiously, but found nothing unusual.

Victor and his party had gone far away, but the movement just now made the pursuer's hurried footsteps come here again.

At least a dozen dark sentries have been following Victor from the moment he left the rented house.

These people were difficult to deal with. Victor used the barriers of the streets and alleys to escape tracking many times, but they could always find the back of the team again based on the barking of stray dogs.

They are alert, quick in action, and skillful in cooperating, firmly biting the tail of Victor and his party. They are by no means ordinary awakeners, at least they are professionals with sublimation expertise.

In fact, McGrady had already discovered that a group of strange guys were wandering around the rented house instead of guard soldiers.According to the old scout, as long as he is not blind, a few crappy secret whistles are useless no matter how well they are disguised.

Victor trusted McGrady's talent in this area. Although he cursed coldly and lost most of his combat power, he was a top scout from the legion after all, able to pass through the hinterland of the orc army without hindrance, and investigate key information.Finding a few secret whistles is as common as eating and drinking for the old scouts.

Under the identification of McGrady, Victor and Harvey had locked the stalker at that time.It is certain that they are not professionals in the guards of Water Snake Town. As for their real background, Victor is too lazy to pursue.Anyway, he is about to enter the underground karst cave, leave Water Snake Town through the underground secret passage, and then try to change his appearance, so that the people and things here can come to an end.

Tonight's evacuation operation is being followed by the dark sentry, after all, it will be troublesome.

"My lord, do you want me to kill them all? I promise there won't be too much commotion!" Harvey gritted his teeth and whispered to Victor.

Families in civilian areas are used to keeping dogs. It is unrealistic for Harvey to kill all the dogs in the entire block, but it is much easier to deal with the troublesome secret whistle.

Victor stopped and said calmly, "I'll deal with them myself...you keep going, turn right at the third alley, go all the way to the end, and wait for me in the last room on the left."

"The third alley, the last house on the left, okay. If there are residents in it, what should we do?" Maddie asked.

Harvey has always obeyed Victor's instructions, and McGrady also has full confidence in him.Because Victor once disintegrated the gang of orc bone collectors in the forest by himself, even the terrifying and ferocious wolf man was easily killed by his sword, let alone a few low-level professionals who were only worthy of stalking.

"If there are people in the room, subdue them and keep the movement quiet." After Victor finished his order, he turned around and jumped onto the opposite roof, which was more than four meters high, as nimbly and silently as a cat.

Victor has extraordinary perception, extraordinary agility, and low-light vision. He can hear the sound of mosquitoes flapping tens of meters away; buildings and buildings cannot hinder his actions; targets in the dark are invisible in his vision.He can tackle stalkers more efficiently than Harvey.

The houses here are built in a boxy shape, and the top floors are full of terraces. The advantage is that the space is used to the extreme, but the disadvantage is that it provides convenience for nimble thieves.Therefore, when the residents sleep, they always lock the push plate for entering and exiting the balcony from the inside, and never sleep on the balcony to enjoy the coolness.If there were still people hanging out on the roof at night, they must have ulterior motives.

For example, now Victor is ready to punch someone.

Those stalkers were all scattered in the alleys below. They took advantage of the shadows of the terrain to hide or sneak, and their sneaky behavior seemed to be experienced thieves.

It's a pity that no matter how careful and professional they are, they can't hide from Victor's extraordinary perception. It is a nearly three-dimensional full perception method. Even if the line of sight is blocked by obstacles, the keen sense of hearing and smell can lock the position of the target. , to master the target's height, weight, moving mode and speed, and even some basic information about the physical state.

Relying on his outstanding perception talent and deep knowledge reserve, Victor can always strike first and be invincible before he even makes a move.

Standing high, he found every follower in a matter of moments.

The clothes these people wear are completely the same as those of ordinary townspeople, but everyone is very capable and has strong muscles.They are in groups of two or three, scattered in different locations, and rely on short whistles to keep in touch with their accomplices at all times.

Victor frowned slightly. Due to the large number of opponents and their well-trained training, he realized that it was almost impossible for him to defeat them one by one secretly.

However, he quickly locked on the commanders of these dark sentries.

It was a corner of the street, and there were three people hiding in a place out of Victor's sight. Two of them were breathing softly and long, and they were in a state of alert concentration. They should be bodyguards.But the real commander always blows the short whistle after the barking of the dog stops, prompting the accomplices outside to respond.

Victor didn't know the content of the whistle signal they agreed on. It was nothing more than "go and see the north", "there is no one in the north", "...then go south" and other messages.

Obviously, as long as the commander is resolved, these unidentified secret sentries will definitely be in chaos for a while, and it will be difficult to catch up with Harvey and the others.

Victor did what he said, calling for the breeze to surround his body, and he slid away on the roof, like an owl gliding in the night sky, without making a sound, it landed at the corner where the commander was, and it happened to be the three of them blind spot of the viewing angle.

He made a quick move, and lightly pressed a palm on the back of a bodyguard's head. It seemed that the strength was slight, but in fact he used the combat breathing method of raising Qi and chopping. Stunned in the past.

Even if the physique of professionals surpasses that of ordinary half-elves, their brains are their key.What's more, the penetrating blow of Qi Lifting Slash is good at breaking through defenses. Victor didn't need to wait for the result at all. He turned his feet and floated behind another bodyguard, trying to stun him in the same way.

The moment the slender and well-proportioned palm hit the back of the head, the bodyguard turned around and turned his head just as he was about to vomit.The fingers of his left hand curled into claws and clawed backwards, with extremely ferocious power, the attack was as fast as lightning. The fingers and claws tore through the air and made a loud noise, swept across Victor's chest, and hit the stone wall beside the alleyway.

With a "bang", the hard wall collapsed and cracked.

In the house behind this wall, the man's heavy panting, the woman's soft moaning, and the creaking of the bed suddenly stopped, as if an invisible pair of scissors cut all the inappropriate sounds.

Corner Alley was dragged into a strange atmosphere by an invisible spiritual force, and even the arrogant domestic dogs fell silent collectively.

It was clearly a dark and cramped alley, but it looked like a sandy arena.

Blood dripping.

Hot and chilling.

Spiritual power is often invisible and intangible, but it can shake people's hearts.It is the manifestation of the will, just like the frown and smile of a peerless beauty can make people dazzled;

And this chilling and enthusiastic spiritual power comes from the half-elf who broke through the wall with his bare hands.

He was over 30 years old, with shocking scars crawling on his bald head, and both ears were mutilated. He was half kneeling on the ground, staring at Victor with a pair of dead fish eyes.The thick neck was twisted abnormally, which made him lose most of his ability to move, but his aura was fierce and ferocious, like a wounded beast, ready to launch the deadliest counterattack at any time.

Victor stood leisurely a few meters away without showing any hostility.

However, no one would doubt his strength.

Subduing a beast is not the same as killing a beast, the former is much more difficult than the latter.Just now, Victor appeared here like a ghost, knocked out a professional thug in an instant, and wounded another, but he was unharmed.

In the confrontation between him and the wounded mob, the leader who commanded the secret sentry became a dispensable passer-by, standing there not even daring to breathe.

The reason why the leader of the Dark Whistle is so honest is because the explosive momentum of his accomplices gave him a huge and clear pressure.

Don't move, you will die!
That's right, Victor didn't intend to kill people at first, he just wanted to stun them quietly and create chaos, so as to get rid of the shadow whistle.However, his raid failed.If the commander of the dark sentry dared to call for help at this time.Then, in order to avoid the siege of a group of professionals, Victor could only take the most efficient way to kill the two on the spot.

The reason why the raid failed was because the vicious-looking thugs were beyond Victor's expectations.The timing of his counterattack was just right. Victor tried his best to use the secret techniques of Fengxing and Flashing Sword, and instantly improved to retreat. He could barely avoid the opponent's sweep. inevitable.In that case, Victor would not even have the ability to protect himself, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, combined with Fengxing's flash sword technique, he can advance and retreat freely, which is extraordinary, allowing Victor to turn defeat into victory at a critical moment.However, he definitely couldn't keep his hands back at that time, he curled his fingers and clenched his fist to stab the thug's cervical spine.

In the wind element friendly state, Victor is not good at strength, but his physique attribute has reached 17 points after all, and an unreserved jab is enough to break the neck of a half-elf professional.However, the jab touched the thug's cervical spine, and Victor felt that what he hit was a tightly twisted tendon. The flexible rebound made the critically hit vertebral joints only slightly staggered, and was not completely interrupted.

In any case, an injury like a dislocated vertebral joint should result in partial paralysis, rendering the casualty incapacitated.

However, this professional thug still possesses a formidable will to fight.Judging by his ferocious appearance, he might be able to launch a fierce attack on Victor.

Undoubtedly, the bald half-elf's life level has reached the third level, and he is still a rare ferocious half-elf. He has a sense of danger and fighting intuition comparable to ferocious beasts. Although his fighting skills are still very rough, his counterattack is direct and effective. Almost capsized Victor in the gutter.

If it was just a violent half-elf, Victor wouldn't care too much.

The opponent's strong will to overcome the impact of the injury reminded Victor of Yog, a barbarian boy from the plantation in Bolang Town.

The body structure of barbarian warriors is very peculiar. The organs representing male characteristics are usually retracted into the abdominal cavity. When they are injured, the organs can secrete special substances, which can convert pain into strength, temporarily immune to negative effects such as coma and weakness, and maintain strong combat effectiveness .

Victor beat Yog until he screamed with a stick, but couldn't knock him out.

Half-elves do not have the physical conditions of barbarians, and the bald half-elves rely purely on willpower to resist the impact of cervical spine dislocation.

In other words, his spiritual strength has surpassed the limits of his body, and he can also manifest his will to an unimaginable level.

Victor thought of the touch of the soul.

The fire of the soul, the touch of the soul, and the light of the soul represent the three levels of spiritual power, but they are not related to each other, and there is no way to advance successively.

Harvey has the fire of the heart, and Victor has not the fire of the heart, but has both the touch of the heart and the light of the heart.His "Goblin Slayer" and "Gnoll Killer" belonged to the category of spiritual touch, and the popular talent should be regarded as the light of the soul.

It's just that his and Harvey's psychic powers are strange, and there are places that are difficult to explain.

Victor once thought that the three levels of spiritual power corresponded one-to-one with the "Mirror Heart", "Dream Shadow", and "Soul Body" circulated by half-elf professionals, but the names were different.

Now it seems that things may not be as simple as he thought.

Half-elf professionals believe that mastering the "Mirror Heart" first, then the "Dream Shadow", and finally the "Soul Body".

In the history of the Disa Alliance, there must have been a half-elf who had mastered the mystery of the "soul body".

If it is said that the bald half-elf has mastered the "soul body", he is too weak.His personal strength is not as good as Harvey's, and his status is also weak, so he can only act as someone else's thug bodyguard.

Because of this, his mental body is special and full of mysteries, which arouses Victor's curiosity.

As in the case of Ruth and Jessica, Victor has always been fascinated by the unique mental body.

Looking up and down the bald half-elf, Victor asked enthusiastically, "What's your name?"

The professional thug didn't feel Victor's hostility, his tense body gradually relaxed, but he remained silent.

"He doesn't have a name himself, and we all call him half-dumb Kent." The leader of Dark Whistle interrupted, seeing that Victor didn't blame himself, he continued: "Sir, oh, my lord, Kent is from the Dark Valley, He used to be a gladiator slave in the arena, it is said that he fought more than 100 matches, but only lost one, suffered a serious neck injury, almost died, and was finally rescued, so he couldn’t speak very fluently.”

Victor ignored the leader of the dark whistle at all, and asked Kent again: "Will you follow me?"

The dead fish eyes of the half-elf thug had a strange brilliance, and the Adam's apple wrapped around the scar rolled up and down, but he still shook his head.

Victor was a little regretful, sighed softly, and said instead: "Stop following me, in that case, I can only kill you all... It would be a pity for such an interesting person like you to die."

After finishing speaking, he jumped onto the wall next to him, and his tall and slender figure escaped into the dark night.

The leader of the dark whistle breathed a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at his accomplice, as if he knew each other for the first time, and said with sympathy: "Someone said you are interesting, and wanted to recruit you for the first time, what a hell ...Well, you just saved my life. I didn't expect you to be so strong. Aren't we all third-level thugs?"

Kent stretched out his left hand, and with a click, he reset his cervical spine, and said with great difficulty in a hoarse voice:

"Grade...shit. No fart!"
