mysterious forerunner

Chapter 180 Swordsman and Thief

Zhang Qingxiang asked: "What is your profession?"

Ma Manluo flicked his wrist, and the sword hidden behind his elbow drew an arc, and then he quickly pulled out five sword flowers in front of him.

"【swordsman】."

"Suddenly, I have a supreme understanding of the skills of the sword!"

"Now, am I qualified to participate in your actions?"

Zhang Qingxiang nodded. It would be no good if he was not allowed to follow. Letting him act alone would mean letting him die.

This Ma Manluo himself is a very confident person, and his execution ability is too strong. Zhang Qingxiang actually doesn't like to lead such players - because they often like to make their own decisions.

But now there is no choice.

"[Swordsman]..." Zhang Qingxiang thought about his words: "It is also a good profession."

This is a branch of the [Martial Arts Master] profession.

If you want to further subdivide it, it should be a branch under [Martial Master] under [Weapon Master].

In the later period of the Pan-Cultivation Era, there were many popular professions, and [Martial Master] was one of the most popular professions.

Hence these "segments".

The poor [Court] profession only has twenty or thirty people in a city, and it is difficult to set up a guild, so don't think about subdivisions.

When there are more people, there will be more disputes. Those who are both in the [Martial Arts] profession, and those who use swords, knives, guns, etc., start to quarrel with each other.

The ancestor of hundreds of weapons, the king of hundreds of weapons, the god of hundreds of weapons... we must find out who is more powerful!
But in fact, this profession is too focused on physical combat, lacks magic-side abilities, and has limited development prospects.

However, [Swordsman] has an advanced profession: Sword Immortal.

In fact, this statement is not accurate. It should be that when this profession reaches the level of "demigod", it can achieve the level of the sword immortal in Chinese legends who can "take people's heads with flying swords from thousands of miles away".

At that level, the magic side is completely clueless and unimportant.

Ma Manluo joined the team, Zhang Qingxiang changed his mind and continued to search backward along the village path.

What if there is a second professional?

It was not until we found the last family, the first family that Zhang Qingxiang saved, that we discovered the second professional.

Zhang Qingxiang still remembers this household, which was Director Qian, Doctor Liu and a nurse.

The professional is Doctor Liu.

This result made Zhang Qing relieved.

When Zhang Qingxiang and the other three entered the courtyard, there were two bodies lying on the ground, namely Director Qian and the nurse.

Their bodies have turned into half-animal forms, with black hair and sharp claws growing out, and then they suddenly die midway.

There wasn't a single scratch on their bodies.

Doctor Liu fell to the side in despair, his eyes staring unfocused. Not far away are two human hearts!
Zhang Qing shouted "Doctor Liu" several times before he shuddered suddenly, and his three souls and seven souls returned to his body. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he suddenly collapsed and hugged Zhang Qingxiang and cried loudly:

"I killed them!"

"They are all my colleagues. They meet every day and eat together..."

"But I was forced, they wanted to refine me into a sword..."

Zhang Qingxiang comforted Dr. Liu for a while, and then asked, "What is your profession?"

Doctor Liu looked a little strange: "Thief."

"This is my career in the game."

Dr. Liu was frustrated: "Why am I not a [physician]?"

The two hearts on the ground were "stolen" by Dr. Liu from the bodies of Director Qian and the nurse using his professional skills.

There were no wounds on their bodies, which proved the [thief's] skill.

"Let's go." Zhang Qingxiang pulled him up.

Taking two new team members into the mountains to confront the mountain gods was not a good choice; but Zhang Qingxiang could not leave them behind.

Ma Manluo stood aside holding his sword.

His sword was brought from the previous yard, but it didn't have a scabbard.

When Zhang Qingxiang comforted Doctor Liu, he found a suitable scabbard in the yard, and the "sword" finally became a complete body.

Then he imitated the behavior of those "heroes" in ancient martial arts dramas, standing with sword in hand - watching Doctor Liu coldly.

This is the contempt of [Swordsman] for [Thief].

Just by looking at the job titles, you can tell that they are not on the same level at all!

Moreover, Ma Manluo looked down upon Dr. Liu's psychological quality.

This is a mysterious scene. They have become weird. They are killing people to eliminate harm for the people. What is the psychological burden?

When Ma Manluo killed several other people in the courtyard with his sword before, he didn't feel any guilt at all.

Even there was his attending doctor inside.

Doctor Liu stood up, wiped away his tears, looked at the two corpses on the ground guiltily, and sighed.

Ma Manluo was a little impatient and asked, "Can you leave?"

Doctor Liu nodded and followed the three of them silently.

Zhang Qing winked at Shi Fangjie, who fell to the last position and took on the responsibility of "deputy squad leader".

The two new team members have no experience and need more care. The four of them sneaked all the way, avoiding the villagers, and headed towards the python-like mountain.

Ma Manluo felt that there was no need for it. He had confidence in the sword in his hand. A god could kill a god if he blocked it, and a Buddha could kill a Buddha if he blocked it.

It's time to get rid of the harm when you meet the villagers.

But Zhang Qingxiang disagreed. He thought about it and found that the other party saved him once yesterday, and reluctantly agreed to follow the other party's arrangements.

This path in the village connects all the houses together and seems to be endless.

Walking down the path, I don't know how long it will take to reach the foot of the mountain. So Zhang Qingxiang chose to go through the wilderness and go straight to the mountains in a straight line.

Ma Manluo acted like a hero all the way, holding his sword with his head high and his chest high, and taking long strides.

Zhang Qingxiang did not dare to take it lightly. He kept turning on [Tian Ting] and monitoring all the movements in the surrounding grass.

The grass is as tall as a person, and there are a lot of shrubs growing in it.

After walking for a while, Zhang Qingxiang stood up and looked towards the mountain to make sure there was no deviation in the direction.

Zhang Qingxiang's speed was not very fast, and it took him more than half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

When you look at it from a distance, this mountain is pitch black. When you get here, you can clearly see that the entire mountain is bare and without vegetation. The bumpy rock surface is covered with a kind of downy moss.

Shi Fangjie was a little strange: "Looking here... the sun seems to be a little bigger?"

Ma Manluo held the sword and found an angle that he thought was cool. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sun: "Obviously this is not the real sun. It should be one of the components of this mysterious scene."

Doctor Liu was surprised: "It's not the sun?"

Ma Manluo glanced at him, as if he was also surprised: "Don't you see it?"

He pointed to the mountain again: "When we first came in, did you see a giant sword stuck in the mountain?"

Doctor Liu nodded: "But it disappeared quickly. I thought I was wrong."

"I judge that this is not a mountain. Even the so-called mountain god is weird in this scene."

"The giant sword killed the weird people here, and it formed such a mysterious scene."

"The giant sword we saw is not a real thing, but a photo from history that is played over and over again every morning."

Doctor Liu thought for a while, nodded in admiration and said, "Your analysis makes sense."

Ma Manluo continued: "The final BOSS of this mysterious scene should not be the mountain god, but the remnant soul or evil spirit left behind after the mountain god was killed by a giant sword."

"For a giant sword, this power is not worth mentioning, but for us, it is a fatal danger."

He slapped the sword in his hand: "My sword energy can destroy evil spirits, but I'm afraid I won't be strong enough if I rely on myself alone." He looked at Zhang Qingxiang and Shi Fangjie: "Are you from the secret case team? Can you? Help me contain the mountain god and give me a chance to strike a fatal blow!"

Shi Fangjie glanced at him speechlessly, not intending to answer him at all.

Zhang Qingxiang frowned slightly. Ma Manluo was already very confident. After taking office, he gained extraordinary power. This confidence skyrocketed again and has become a kind of arrogance.

Ma Manluo still didn't know that he had made the most fatal mistake in facing the mystery, not being awe enough!

He was very confident in his inference, but he didn't know that the mystery was unpredictable and endless, and he must not make such "preconceived" judgments.

He thought that his sword energy could cause a "fatal blow" to the mountain god, but he also underestimated the mysterious power!
"Inappropriate." Zhang Qingxiang refused without hesitation: "You are inexperienced. After entering the mountain, you will obey my orders."

Doctor Liu had seen Zhang Qingxiang's ability and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

But Ma Manluo has never seen it. The family that captured him was a "broken household" in the village, and they did not have an ancestor who had perfected a superb sword.

Zhang Qingxiang rushed in and eliminated the wolves in three strikes, five and two.

Ma Manluo thought that Zhang Qingxiang's strength was just like that.

He had also killed a few werewolves just now, and after comparing the two, he found that his attacks were more powerful and swift, so among this group of people, he should be respected for his strength.

Zhang Qingxiang spoke frankly and asked him to obey the order. Ma Manluo frowned dissatisfied: "Why? Just because you are official? This is a mysterious scene, and strength should be respected."

Shi Fangjie reminded him tactfully: "This is Team Leader Zhang of our secret case team."

Ma Manluo responded unceremoniously: "He is your commander, but not mine."

Zhang Qingxiang felt that this problem needed to be solved, otherwise the internal instability would cause disastrous consequences if the team members did not obey orders and acted without authorization after entering the mountain.

But Ma Manluo suddenly patted the sword again: "You saved my life yesterday, and I can repay you by cooperating with you today."

Shi Fangjie and Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no internal strife.

Zhang Qingxiang did not intend to stop here.

Unless Ma Manluo is defeated, he will always be a time bomb.

In his own opinion, what he calls "cooperation" means "giving you face." Once he encounters danger and his ideas conflict with Zhang Qingxiang's, he will not hesitate to disobey Zhang Qingxiang's orders - and he will also think that he is making up for Zhang Qingxiang's mistakes and saving the entire team!

Zhang Qingxiang thought for a while, broke off a reed from the weeds on the side, made a gesture and cut it into the length of the sword.

Then Zhang Qing hooked his fingers at Ma Manluo and said, "Let's make a gesture. You use the sword."

Ma Manluo's eyes widened in surprise, then his face turned cold: "You are humiliating a swordsman!"

"Even if you have saved my life, you should not do this."

Zhang Qingxiang was too lazy to waste time with him and said with one strike, "I'm afraid I might accidentally kill you with a real weapon!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Ma Manluo was trembling with anger. He no longer said any words of "life-saving grace". With a flick of his wrist, a dragon's sword was unsheathed and fell into his hand.

However, the next moment, his eyes flashed as Zhang Qingxiang's reed pole was already pointed at his throat.

　Today I set off to attend the annual meeting of the website.

　　There has been no outbreak during this period, just to prepare manuscripts for the annual meeting. During the six days before and after, if the manuscripts are not enough, the updates will be discontinued...
