Late at night, a silver moon hangs high in the night sky, and the quiet and bright moonlight is like layers of tulle, gently covering Shuishen Town.

In the cold night, the residents of the small town who had been busy for a day fell asleep. The barking of domestic dogs occasionally echoes in the streets, but it highlights that the town is surrounded by an atmosphere called tranquility.

Six figures of different heights shuttled through the deep streets where light and darkness intertwined. They were wrapped in thick gray-black leather cloaks and wore soft-soled leather boots. They tried not to make any noise when moving, and deliberately walked in the shadow of the building. down to hide their traces.

The civilian area of ​​Water Snake Town is densely populated. Even with the cover of night and shadow, it is impossible to avoid everyone's eyes and ears while walking on the road. However, the buildings here are very crowded, and the lanes are crisscrossed with twists and turns, like a spider web maze. Even native-born locals often take the wrong way home in the dark. You can imagine the difficulty of tracking moving targets in such complicated streets.

Victor fully evolved the environment of Water Snake Town, as if he had an all-round, three-dimensional map in his mind that could correspond to reality. There was no way he could get lost here with his eyes closed.

Victor led Harvey and others to squeeze through a narrow alley that could only be passed sideways, and broke into the street behind. Two stray domestic dogs suddenly spotted them, tucked their tails between their legs, huddled in a corner and barked loudly.

"Poof", "poof", Harvey curled his fingers and popped out two copper coins, just like shooting two stone bullets from a bow, killing them instantly.

A domestic dog's half-whisper before death leads to trouble. Some residents got out of bed, quietly walked to the window, and cautiously looked out, but found nothing unusual.

Victor and his group had already walked away, but the movement just now caused the pursuer's rapid footsteps to be heard again.

There were at least a dozen secret sentries following Victor from the moment he left the rental house.

These people were very difficult to deal with. Victor used the obstacles of the street terrain to escape the pursuit many times, but they could always find their way to the back of the team based on the barking of the wandering dogs.

Their reactions were alert, their actions were quick, and their cooperation was skillful. They had a firm grasp on the tail of Victor and his group. They were by no means ordinary awakened people, at least they were professionals who had sublimated their expertise.

In fact, McGrady had long since discovered that there was a group of unfamiliar guys wandering around the rental house instead of the guard soldiers. According to the old scout, as long as he is not blind, it is useless no matter how well disguised a few lame secret sentries are.

Victor trusted McGrady's talent in this area. Although he was cursed with a cold heart and lost most of his combat effectiveness, he was still a top scout from the Legion and could travel unimpeded in the hinterland of the orc army to detect key intelligence. Finding a few hidden sentries was as common as eating and drinking to the old scout.

Under Maddie's identification, Victor and Harvey had already locked on the stalker. It is certain that they are not professionals in the Water Snake Town Guard. As for their true background, Victor is too lazy to investigate. Anyway, he is about to enter the underground cave, leave Water Snake Town through the underground secret passage, and then find a way to change his appearance, so that everyone and everything here can come to an end.

Tonight's evacuation operation being continuously followed by secret sentries will be a problem after all.

"Sir, do you want me to kill them all? I promise I won't make too much noise!" Harvey gritted his teeth and whispered to Victor.

….

Families in urban areas are accustomed to keeping dogs. It would be unrealistic for Harvey to kill all the domestic dogs in the entire neighborhood, but it would be much easier to deal with the hidden whistles that cause trouble.

Victor stopped and said calmly: "I will deal with them myself... You continue to walk forward, 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. What should we do if there are residents inside?" Maddie asked.

Harvey always obeys Victor's instructions, and Maddie also has full confidence in him. Because Victor once single-handedly dismantled the orc bone collector gang in the forest, even the terrifying and ferocious gnolls were easily killed by his sword, let alone a few low-level professionals who were only worthy of keeping track.

"If there are people in the house, subdue them and keep the noise down." After Victor ordered, he turned around and jumped onto the four-meter-high roof opposite, like a cat

As dexterous and silent as a child.

Victor has extraordinary perception, extraordinary agility and low-light vision. He can hear the flapping of mosquito wings dozens of meters away; buildings and buildings cannot hinder his actions; targets in the night are invisible to him. He can take out stalkers more efficiently than Harvey.

The houses here are built in a boxy shape, and the top floors are all covered with balconies. The advantage is that the space is utilized to the extreme, but the disadvantage is that it provides convenience for agile thieves. Therefore, when residents sleep, they always lock the push board for entering and exiting the balcony from the inside, and they never sleep on the balcony to enjoy the cool air. If there are still people hanging out on the roof at night, they must have an ulterior motive.

For example, Victor is now ready to beat someone up.

Those stalkers are all scattered in the alleyways below. They use the shadows of the terrain to hide or sneak. Their sneaky movements make them look like experienced thieves.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful and professional they were, they couldn't hide Victor's extraordinary perception, which is a nearly three-dimensional full perception method. Even if the line of sight is blocked by obstacles, the sharp hearing and smell can still lock the target's location. , master the target's height, weight, movement mode and speed, and even some basic information about the physical condition.

With his excellent perception talent and deep knowledge reserve, Victor can always strike first and become invincible before he even takes action.

He stood high and found every stalker in a matter of seconds.

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

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

However, he quickly locked onto the commander of these secret posts.

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

Victor didn't know the content of the whistle code 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 eliminated, 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 flew away on the roof, like an owl gliding in the night sky, without making a single sound, and landed at the corner where the conductor was, exactly where the three of them were. blind spot of perspective.

He made a quick move and pressed a light palm on the back of a bodyguard's head. It seemed that the force was light, but in fact he used the Qi lifting and slashing technique of the combat breathing method. He spit out a penetrating force from his palm and knocked the strong and strong professional into the air. fainted from the shock.

Even if the physique of professionals exceeds that of ordinary half-elves, their brains are still their key point. What's more, the piercing blow of Liqi Slash is good at breaking through defenses. Victor didn't need to wait for the result at all. He turned around and floated behind another bodyguard, trying to knock him out 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. He curled the fingers of his left hand into claws and clawed backwards with extremely ferocious power. The attack was as fast as lightning. His claws tore through the air and made an explosive sound. They 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 men's heavy breathing, the women's soft moans, and the creaking of the bed boards suddenly stopped, as if there were an invisible pair of scissors cutting off all inappropriate sounds.

The corner alley was dragged into a strange atmosphere by an invisible spiritual force, and even the arrogant domestic dogs fell into silence collectively.

It is obviously a dark and narrow alley, but it is like a fighting arena with flying sand.

Drenched with blood.

Hot and cold.

Spiritual power is often invisible and intangible

, but it can shake people's hearts. It is the manifestation of will, just like the smile of a peerless beauty can dazzle people; the look of a majestic king can make the people stay silent; the words of a profound wise man can make people admire him.

And this chilling and passionate spiritual power came from the half-elf who broke the wall with his bare hands.

He was in his thirties, with shocking scars on his bald head, and both ears were missing. He was half-kneeling on the ground, staring at Victor with a pair of dead fish eyes. His thick neck was abnormally twisted, which caused him to lose most of his mobility, but his aura was fierce and ferocious, like a wounded beast, ready to launch the most deadly counterattack at any time.

Victor stood leisurely a few meters away, showing no hostility.

However, no one doubts his power.

Subduing a beast is different from killing it. The former is much more difficult than the latter. Just now, Victor appeared here like a ghost, instantly knocking out a professional thug and injuring another, but he was unhurt.

In the confrontation between him and the injured thugs, the leader who commanded the secret sentry became a dispensable passerby, standing there without even daring to breathe.

The reason why the leader of the secret whistle is so honest is because the explosive momentum of his accomplices puts a huge and clear pressure on him.

Don't move, otherwise you will die!

That's right, Victor didn't originally intend to kill anyone. He just wanted to quietly knock them out and create chaos, thereby escaping the tracking of the secret whistle. However, his raid failed. If the commander of the secret sentry dares to shout for help at this time. So, in order to avoid the siege of a group of professionals, Victor could only take the most efficient approach and kill these two people on the spot.

….

The reason why the raid failed was because the fierce-looking thugs exceeded Victor's expectations. The timing of his counterattack was just right. Victor tried his best to use the secret skills of Wind Movement and Flashing Sword, which instantly improved to retreat. He could barely avoid the opponent's sweep. Otherwise, he would be counterattacked, and even if he did not die, he would still be seriously injured. inevitable. In that case, Victor would not even be able to protect himself, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, combined with the popular flash sword technique, he was able to advance and retreat freely, which was extraordinary, allowing Victor to turn defeat into victory at the critical moment. However, he definitely couldn't hold back at that time, and he made a fist with curled fingers and stabbed the thug's cervical spine.

In the affinity state of the wind element, Victor is not known for his strength, but his physical 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 vertebra, and Victor felt that he had hit a tightly twisted tendon. The flexible rebound force caused the vertebral joints that were hit by the critical blow to be only slightly displaced, but not completely broken.

Regardless, an injury like a dislocated vertebrae should result in paralysis, rendering the casualty incapacitated.

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

There is no doubt that the bald half-elf's life level has reached the third level, and he is also a rare violent half-elf. He has a premonition of danger and combat intuition comparable to that of a ferocious beast. Although his combat skills are still rough, his counterattacks are direct and effective. It almost capsized Victor's boat in the gutter.

If it were 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 the barbarian boy Yog from the plantation in Braun Town.

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

Victor beat Yog with a stick until he screamed, but could not knock him out.

Half-elves do not have the physical conditions of barbarians. The bald half-elves rely purely on willpower to resist the effects of cervical dislocation.

In other words, his mental power has exceeded the limits of his body, and he can also manifest his will to an incredible extent.

Victor was thinking of heart touch.

Soul Fire, Soul Touch, and Soul Light represent the three major levels of spiritual power, but they are not mutually exclusive and do not exist.

Paths to successive promotions.

Harvey ignited the fire of the heart, while Victor did not light the fire of the heart, but had both the touch of the heart and the light of the heart. His "Goblin Slayer" and "Gnoll Slayer" belong to the proper category of Soul Touch, and the Wind Movement Talent should be regarded as the Light of the Soul.

However, his and Harvey's spiritual powers came from strange places, which were difficult to explain.

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

[To be honest, I have been using @@ recently to read and catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

….

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

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

In the history of the Disa Alliance, there must have been half-elves who mastered the secret of the "soul body".

If the bald half-elf mastered the "soul body", he would be too weak. His personal strength is not as good as Harvey's, and his status is also weak. He can only act as a thug and bodyguard for others.

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

As in the case of Ruth and Jessica, Victor has always been fascinated by unique mental bodies and cannot extricate himself.

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

The professional thug did not feel Victor's hostility, and his tense body gradually relaxed, but he remained silent and did not speak.

"He has no name himself. We all call him Half-Dumb Kent." The leader of the Dark Whistle interjected. Seeing that Victor did not blame himself, he continued: "Sir, oh, Your Majesty, Kent comes from the Dark Valley. He was once a gladiatorial slave in the arena. It is said that he fought more than a hundred matches and only lost one. He was seriously injured in the neck and almost died. He was finally rescued and could not speak fluently."

Victor ignored the leader of the secret sentry and asked Kent again: "Are you willing to follow me?"

The half-elf thug's dead fish eyes had a strange gleam, and his Adam's apple wrapped with scars rolled up and down, but he still shook his head.

Victor felt a little regretful, sighed softly, and then said: "Stop following me. In that case, I can only kill you all... It would be a pity for someone as interesting as you to die."

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

The leader of the secret whistle let out a long sigh of relief, turned to look at his accomplices, as if they were meeting each other for the first time, and said with a clear conscience: "Someone actually said that you are interesting, and they want to recruit you when they meet 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, clicked, reset his cervical vertebrae, and said with great difficulty in a hoarse voice:

"Level...shit...useless!"
