Storm of Gods

Chapter 2 I was passing by

Luo Jin was watching the Licker from a distance. This thing had indeed evolved the ability of mimicry, which was a bit troublesome. At the same time, Luo Jin wanted to know how he became a Licker, especially how he could evolve to this level safely.

The worms that parasitize humans come from the abyss. The possibility of their natural appearance is extremely low. Even if they appear occasionally, they will quickly die out. It is even more difficult in Tianjing City, which is illuminated by the glory of the Moon Goddess. They are usually secretly summoned by cultists, but the city is the territory of the night patrol. It would be fine if they came from outside the city, but this licker was born from within the city.

The psychic powers of awakened ones are very stable in most cases. Even if they go crazy or out of control, the harm is relatively limited and the night watchmen can deal with it quickly. Sober awakened ones will not touch the abyss worms. Although they can bring power for a short time, they will eventually escape the fate of becoming monsters. This is more dangerous than believing in evil gods. This is common sense. If it is an accidental phenomenon, it is okay. If it is man-made, it needs to be investigated. The emergence of a cult is a serious dereliction of duty of the night watchmen.

It's not that he was overthinking it. As the captain of the night patrol in Tianjin, he has been in this position for fifteen years. It is a miracle that he is still alive. The casualty rate of the night patrol is extremely high. Of course, with their efforts, the overall situation in Tianjin has always been very good, and occasional problems will be quickly resolved. He has also been commended by the Moon Goddess Church and will soon serve as the chief disciplinary officer of the Church Order.

Although there are other levels of game behind this, for a night watchman, this is already a promotion across classes. It is also the retreat for many old night watchmen, and it is the highest reward for people of common origin.

He only needed to wait for the time to hand over, provided that the night watchman could control the situation. However, strange events occurred continuously within a month, and now even the sober Licker appeared. He had to suspect that someone was trying to get him.

Of course this is just speculation. He wants to see what else is behind this licker.

When a Licker is injured or hungry, the first choice is definitely an Awakened One. Only an Awakened One can completely restore the Licker's injuries, but in an injured state, an Awakened One is definitely in danger. Then a strong human is a better choice. The flesh and blood full of vitality is undoubtedly a good supplement.

After all, there are many important figures in the city, including the city guards, the knights, and the night watchmen, not to mention the power of the Holy See, all of which are very deadly to the lickers, but outside the city, the world is undoubtedly vast and open.

The Licker soon smelled a group of vigorous vitality, including a not-too-strong Awakener among them. He easily slipped in in the dim light.

Luo Jin also followed and did not stop them. He knew that this place was the territory of the Spade Group, a gang in Blackwater. The order of the dungeon was maintained by the gang. The Spade Group was also well-known in the dungeon. These people could not be said to be evil, but they deserved to die. Luo Jin did not have such a saintly heart. He wanted to know what the Licker was going to do next.

Attacking the Night Watchmen is more about stirring up trouble than coveting the Awakened. Even if a sane Licker craves psychic energy, he has other choices. This shows how much he wants to die for attacking the Night Watchmen.

revenge?

This possibility is extremely low, so there must be a problem behind this. Luo Jin lit another cigarette, and soon the brightly lit and bustling Spade Group became noisy, accompanied by angry screams. Such situations can be seen everywhere in the dungeon, and no one will come out to take a look even if you shout at the top of your lungs.

The sound was terrible, which was common in the dungeon. Li Xin's family also heard it, but it was not very strong there. Ordinary people would not feel it. Aunt Fei was gently patting Xiao Xueyin and continued to coax her to sleep.

Li Xin sat up. He could feel the psychic reaction. This was not an ordinary gunfight. Judging from the sound, it should be the gang leader's territory. He couldn't help but frowned. Although Qi Badao was not a good guy, the Black Water area was quite harmonious since they communicated with each other. This guy didn't do anything sneaky. If he died and a new group of people came, he really didn't know what would happen, especially since not everyone was so easy to communicate with. More importantly, if the monster lurked, it would be dangerous.

Li Xin left the room quietly.

At this time, several people in the Spade Group had died, and the survivors were also pale, all of them were scared to vomit by the way the Lickers ate. Some of those who were not brave enough had their crotches wet and collapsed to the ground. Qi Badao was their leader and also an awakened one. He was swinging a long knife to fight with the Licker. The Licker had killed several people, and still had half an arm in his mouth. He was eating and fighting at the same time, staring at Qi Badao with eight eyes. Qi Badao was also cold all over. The monster's eyes carried a strong mental deterrent. This was just like him looking at a grilled steak. He had experience. This was a Licker, a completely perverted monster that he could not contend with. It was not that he didn't want to run, but this guy was staring at him. If he ran away rashly, he would only die faster.

boom……

Chang Daofeng barely took the blow and was blown away. Qi Badao, of course, knew how to adapt to the situation. He used the force to retreat, rolled along, threw out a chair, and fled quickly. As for his brothers, they could only wish them good luck.

The Licker also made a crunching sound and quickly chased after him using all four limbs. Its eating was only to repair its injuries. The awakened one with the most psychic energy was its target. He was as delicious as the night watchman.

Qi Badao fled in the direction of Li Xin's home, where his close associates lived. There might be serious consequences, but he had to survive first.

Qi Badao's thinking was also very clear. Nothing was more important than his life. However, a rustling sound came from behind and was approaching. Damn, this monster had caught up to within three meters behind him without anyone noticing. A fishy smell filled his nose. Qi Badao was horrified. In the moment of life and death, the more cowardly he was, the faster he would die. He suddenly roared and turned back to chop wildly.

Dang Dang Dang...

Qi Badao swung the long sword in his hand vigorously, using all his strength, and even shouted to give himself courage. The eight clanging swords were his specialty, the Eight Absolute Slashes. At the critical moment of life and death, he had to fight desperately. The Licker could also feel it. After all, even if it was injured by spiritual energy, it would be very troublesome to recover from the injury. It quickly dodged, but Qi Badao was just posing a brave posture. Before he finished chopping, he turned around and ran away. The Licker was also stunned, his eyeballs rolled around with a weird expression, and he pounced on Qi Badao with a kick of his limbs. At this time, Qi Badao didn't even look back, he took out something from his pocket and threw it out with his backhand.

bang~~~
A ball of Hextech black powder exploded, carrying a fishy smell and burning, igniting patches of blue flames in the dim light. At this moment, Qi Badao immediately ran away, "Brother Xin, help me~~~"

The licker was burned by the blue fire and felt a sharp pain. He wanted to put out the fire but couldn't. However, tumors appeared on his body and the blue fire was absorbed by the tumors as they rose and fell. The repeated teasing completely angered the licker. As he flew over, his tongue rolled towards Qi Badao, and the suddenly extended tongue was swung in front of Qi Badao.

Qi Badao had rich combat experience. He slashed back with his backhand, but the sword failed to cut off the opponent's skin. The tongue wrapped around the blade with strong force and stickiness. The dense lower suction cups made Qi Badao's hair stand on end instantly. The terrifying force pulled him back with the sword. Qi Badao's first reaction was to drop the sword, but he found that his right leg had been wrapped around it. Damn, in the blink of an eye, there was a click and the bone was broken.

The forked tongue grabbed Qi Badao's right leg like a steel coil. The licker itself was an awakened one and was quite powerful. After turning into a monster, its combat power went up a level and Qi Badao was simply unable to deal with it.

At this moment, Qi Badao also saw the licker, his undulating and deformed body, his smelly bloody mouth and a row of sharp, densely packed teeth covered with flesh.

In the face of extreme fear at the critical moment of life and death, Qi Badao also fought hard, punching the Licker's head. "I'll kill you with my fist!" At this moment, with a whoosh, the Licker sensed danger, but there was no time to react. A crossbow arrow had already pierced the eye. A figure was approaching. The Licker felt that he had made a move, but a bone spear pierced the Licker's heart. The Licker's tough flesh only blocked it a little before it was pierced through. An ultrasonic scream that tore through the dungeon shook the Licker's body. The Licker's body turned blood red, emitting a flashing red light that penetrated the body. The Licker ignored Qi Badao and even Li Xin who was attacking it. A huge force came and broke free directly, running away with the bone spear. It felt a strong crisis. The creature in front of it was not something it could deal with.

Luo Jin, who was hiding in the dark, was also shocked. The situation changed in a moment. The monster was pierced through the heart but did not die. Could it be?

A bad premonition suddenly arose and he rushed out immediately. However, the licker had just run five or six meters when its head suddenly exploded, liquid spilled all over the ground, and its body was still struggling and twitching on the ground. Luo Jin breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly remembered something, but found that a figure had already arrived next to the licker, and a bone spear had pierced a dark, fat worm about the size of an adult's palm.

Squeak, squeak, squeak~~~
The translucent worm was unwillingly crushed into a meat paste, and then its struggling corpse instantly lost its vitality and quickly shrank, with fishy juice flowing onto the ground.

Li Xin glanced at Qi Badao. What was this gangster doing? He was actually running towards his home. Feeling Li Xin's eyes, Qi Badao felt a chill again. At that time, he was completely driven by the instinct of survival.

Suddenly, the monster's body began to wriggle slightly again, and a smaller black shadow quickly pounced towards Qi Badao, another abyss worm.

bang~~~
A silver light exploded, and the worm was hit directly, turning into a ball of fire. The worm in the flame squeaked and screamed, and turned into ashes unwillingly.

Qi Badao no longer had the heroic image of a gangster boss. He sat on the ground gasping for breath, his pants soaked with sweat.

Damn, why is there a horror movie at this hour of night?

Li Xin was not too surprised. He just glanced at Luo Jin who was holding the Hextech Demon Sealing Gun not far away. The other party was dressed like an official.

Luo Jin slowly walked over, wiped the silver Demon Sealing Spear with delicate patterns, and put it on his waist. He ignored Qi Badao on the ground, glanced at the remains of the Licker on the ground, then looked at Li Xin, who had a calm but alert expression, and took the initiative to say, "My name is Luo Jin, and I am the captain of the Tianjing Night Patrol."

Li Xin didn't know, but Qi Badao, who was sitting on the ground, knew this famous captain of the night patrol. He was considered a ruthless man in both the black and white worlds, and a powerful figure in Tianjin. He got up from the ground, wiped his hands on his pants, and limped out his hands, "Hello, Captain Luo, I'm Xiao Qi from the Spade Group. I've heard a lot about you..."

Luo Jin glanced at the other person coldly. He was not interested in saving the gangsters, but he didn't want new lickers to appear and worms to breed... Was someone raising them?

Qi Badao was not embarrassed when he saw that the other party ignored him and he still had a smile on his face. Generally speaking, one would not hit a smiling person. Anyway, no one present, whether the one on the ground or the two standing, was someone he could not afford to offend. Face was not as important as life.

Luo Jin stared at Li Xin intently, feeling a little regretful. "Little brother, you have great skills. Are you two in the same group?"

At this moment, Li Xin suddenly smiled sincerely and honestly, "Captain Li, you must be joking. I am a good citizen and don't know this gangster at all. I was just passing by. It has nothing to do with me. Goodbye."

Luo Jin couldn't help but laugh. This curve was a bit elegant. Children of poor families have to grow up early. Those who can grow up in the underground city are all smart and can't be treated like ordinary children. "I have to see him again. That little guy, let him learn about the duties of a night watchman."

"Ahem, Qi Badao, you can call me Xiao Qi or Xiaodao. Um, Li Xin, let me introduce you solemnly. The Night Patrol is the power department of our Lilong Kingdom, specializing in managing awakened people and supernatural events. They are the elite among the elites. This is the head of our Tianjing Night Patrol, our patron saint. According to the rules, we wild awakened people are required to report and register with the Night Patrol. I am also a good citizen and have registered long ago." Qi Badao said flatteringly with his body bent. He knew that the man in front of him was a murderer who killed without blinking an eye. A captain of the Night Patrol who had lived for more than ten years was not much better than a devil.

Luo Jin glanced at Qi Badao indifferently, then at the corpse on the ground. He was silent for a moment, then Qi Badao shuddered. A licker, there wouldn't be anything shady here, right? Damn, what's going on? "Captain Luo, this monster has nothing to do with me. I know you hate evil. I used to steal and collect protection money, but I turned over a new leaf under Li Xin's education. Brothers are just trying to make a living. Think about it, isn't this area very peaceful? At night, brothers don't cause trouble, they just get together to drink some wine and brag, without even ordering a girl. It's miserable to be treated like this by gangsters, and even treated as snacks by monsters. You... won't kill us, will you?"

There are girls, but I didn't call them today. I heard that the team leader is an old bachelor, so I catered to his preferences.

The gangs were not his responsibility. Luo Jin was just thinking about other things. Come to think of it, the Blackwater District was the most peaceful area in the underground city. There hadn't been a homicide case for a long time, and he hadn't heard of many supernatural events. Luo Jin knew that the boy in front of him was probably related.

He was quick, accurate and ruthless in his actions, even though he was a disabled licker. Seeing that the other party was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, he was calm and decisive. Luo Jin felt a sense of admiration for his talent, but he had connections with the gang and needed to investigate further.

"You have made contributions today. Your name is Li Xin, right? Find time to come to the Night Watch headquarters to see me one of these two days. According to the rules, I need to register and understand your situation." Luo Jin said, feeling that he might be too serious, and smiled. "It's nothing else, don't worry, it's just a formality."

Li Xin nodded, "Okay, Captain Luo, you're busy. My mother is waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Luo Jin nodded, and Li Xin ran away.

...What kind of meal are you eating so late at night?
Qi Badao also took small steps and limped, trying to leave quietly. Before he took a few steps, his body froze. A cold voice came from behind him, "Did you leave?"

Qi Badao gave an awkward yet enthusiastic smile, "Xiaodao is here, please tell me if you need anything."
