With a creak, the door opened. A skinny old man walked in, his hair as messy as withered grass.
The cheekbones are prominent, the eye sockets are sunken, and the eyes look a little tired. He was wearing an old black and red suit and no top hat.
"Here?" Ka Xiu turned around after opening the door and picked up the bath towel on the seat. The old hunter Herb looked at Card Xiu's back as wide as a wall and recalled the changes in the past week.
Every time I see Ka Xiu, I can feel that his body is much stronger, and his body size is visibly expanded and taller.
The vague and dangerous aura on his body is getting stronger and stronger. It is a kind of overbearing oppression emanating from the origin of life.
With a kacha sound, old man Herb closed the door and sighed.
"I haven't seen you for two days, and your body has become a lot stronger..." Kaxiu squeezed his fist with bulging veins and shook his head: "It can't be called strong enough, it can only be said that it is usable. ..." Herb glanced at Kaxiu and finally said nothing.
He had already guessed that Kaxiu was a secret martial practitioner and came from the mysterious secret martial world of the empire. Those secret martial arts masters possess terrifying power and can advance simultaneously in terms of body, spirit, and spirit.
There are also various secret techniques and secret martial arts that have been passed down for a long time, which can exert miraculous effects at various stages. Therefore, the drastic changes in Kaxiu's body in a short period of time did not make Herb too vigilant.
Because Bai Kui's identity was originally a hunter who joined the dark hunting organization from an outsider, and he was not raised since he was a child.
It’s perfectly normal to have some secrets about you. As long as Card Xiu is not a dark creature, Herb doesn't care about his origins.
In fact, because he knew that Ka Xiu was a practitioner of secret martial arts, Herb was even more curious. Moreover, after getting in touch with him during this period, he felt that Ka Xiu was quite to his liking.
Maybe, I can use my shadow authority. Herb already felt that he did not have many months left to live.
Crash... the sound of bathing came from the bathroom. After Kaxiu's promotion was over, he broke out in a stinky sweat and went to take a shower.
Only Herb was left, sitting on the wooden chair on the balcony. The sun shone on half of his body, and the weathered wrinkles on his old face became deeper and deeper.
Herb is an old hunter, with the same level as Bai Kui, C level. But ten years ago, Bloodaxe Herb was a famous figure within the dark hunting organization.
The Dark Hunting organization has four departments with different responsibilities, among which the one responsible for fighting is undoubtedly the Hunter Association.
There are fifteen dark gold level hunters in the Hunter Association, and their badge levels are all
"a". Among them, there are six different hunters who are the pillars of the association's combat strength. Five shadow hunters and one holy hunter.
Its combat power is basically the same as that of a fighter, and it is the top combat power. As the most powerful member of the Hunter Association, the Holy Hunter naturally also serves as the president of the association.
Moreover, he is also the leader of the Dark Hunting Organization and the first successor to the Chief of the Agency. In other words, if the head of the Dark Hunting Organization retires or dies unexpectedly, the Holy Hunter will take over.
The five shadow hunters are divided into numbers one to five according to their strength. When Blood Ax Heb was at his strongest, he was the number one shadow hunter and the first heir to the holy hunter.
Calculating this, the old hunter Herb may even become the leader of the dark hunting organization. Of course, that was ten years ago.
As a hunter, you have to pay a price when fighting dark creatures. Herb was responsible for breaking up the rear during a major operation, allowing a large number of hunters to evacuate safely.
The result was deep wounds and a shake to the foundation. Although he was barely rescued, his strength began to continue to decline.
Within a year or two, he fell from Shadow Hunter to Dark Gold level. The old hunter Herb is a temperamental person. He feels that he is no longer worthy of wearing the Shadow Badge and does not want to occupy a position in vain.
So he took the initiative to propose a downgrade to the association, and in the following ten years, he was demoted from Shadow Hunter to Black Copper Hunter.
The director of the dark hunting organization personally gave Heb a compensatory promise, and Heb could recommend a promising hunter to be trained.
And be able to qualify to compete for Shadow Hunter spots. There is no doubt that this is for Herb's disciples.
Focus on cultivating good understanding and nothing more than providing a lot of resources. To compete for the number of Shadow Hunters, you have to contact the entire Dark Hunter organization, even the royal family and parliament.
As the violent organization of the dark hunting organization, the Hunter Association is naturally very important. The five shadow hunters and one holy hunter are the top priority.
Various interests are intertwined and represent all forces in the empire. There are shadow hunters supported by the imperial royal family, shadow hunters supported by the parliament, and shadow hunters supported by other organizations within the dark hunting organization.
There are also a small number that are not factional. For example, now, Shadow Hunter Soul Scythe No. 4 Yin Weika was seriously injured in an operation half a year ago and is still unconscious in the hospital bed.
An opening for a shadow hunter appeared. If you want to compete for this position, you must not only have the strength, but also have the support of the forces behind it.
Or the royal family, or parliament, or other institutions within the dark hunting organization. There is another situation like the old hunter Herb.
The director of the Dark Hunting Organization personally promised to reserve a competitive spot. Now, half a year has passed since the Shadow Hunter position became vacant.
All forces are ready to make a move and decide on their own candidates. There are three dark gold level hunters in total, corresponding to the three forces.
Imperial royal family: Lion King Soth Red Li Council: Thorn Solomon Inside the Dark Hunting Organization: Siren Claire All parties have already placed their bets and are eyeing the vacant position.
After all, Shadow Hunters are not just Shadow Hunters. This position is even related to the selection of Holy Hunters and the leaders of the Dark Hunting Organization.
The old hunter Herb has a recommendation quota in his hands, which has always attracted attention from all parties. Some forces want to bribe the old hunter in exchange for this spot from Herb, thereby increasing their chances of seizing the shadow hunter position.
Some forces want the old hunter to die. As long as Herb dies, there will be one less competitor. However, they only dared to wait for Heb to die naturally and did not dare to take action.
Because as long as Herb dies, the legion commander will definitely investigate the cause of his death. It would be okay if it was normal, but it is always done intentionally by a certain force.
The legion commander must dig deep to find out that force and make it pay a heavy price. It’s about the stability of the organization.
On the wooden chair, old man Herb half-closed his eyes and looked drowsy. In fact, his brain was thinking about whether to give this authority to Ka Xiu.
Herb is a man of true temperament, which can be seen from the fact that he voluntarily gave up his identity as a shadow hunter.
When Heb made friends with people, he never looked at the benefits, only whether they suited his own taste. and
"Bai Kui"'s temperament has changed drastically since she woke up from a serious injury. Herb admired his decisive and confident manner of speaking, his unconcealed courage and talent as a strong man.
He really wanted to give that authority to Ka Xiu. However, once Ka Xiu accepts this gift, he will inevitably be involved in the vortex of competing for the Shadow Hunter spot.
That is the calculation of many forces. Although Herb's strength has declined, his perception is still at the level of his peak.
Ever since the Shadow Hunter Soul Scythe was injured half a year ago, there would occasionally be one or two prying eyes around him, hiding in the dark.
Thinking about it, other forces are paying attention to the developments on their side. If Ka Xiu enters the arena, he will definitely be targeted immediately.
Not just normal competition, there may also be hidden dangers. After all, Bloodaxe Heb was a really hot-tempered person back then and offended many people.
Especially on the royal family side, it can be said that there are a lot of grievances and grievances. Due to the promise of the head of the agency, even if Herb's strength dropped to that of an ordinary person, the royal family would not dare to take action against him.
However, Ka Xiu is different. The royal family may eliminate competitors in a decisive way. It can be said that if Card Xiu accepts Hebb's gift, he will soon be able to obtain a rich resource.
You will also be putting yourself at risk. This double-edged sword is still decided by Kaxiu himself. After all, Herb was not in the habit of making decisions for others.
Half an hour later, on the sofa in the living room near the balcony.
"Bai Kui, if you accept this badge of honor, all the forces will know about it the next day, and the open and covert attacks on you will soon..." Herb was holding a tea cup in his hand, and his words were suddenly interrupted.
"It doesn't matter." Ka Xiu put down the tea cup, without showing any expression on his face, but his brows revealed an absolute confidence in himself.
"Whether it's an open attack or a hidden attack, I don't have the slightest fear. By the way, old man, the force you mentioned that you don't deal with very much is the imperial royal family, right? The person it chooses to support is the Lion King Soth?"
"It is said that he is a dark gold hunter with royal blood." A smile appeared on Ka Xiu's face: "I will find a time to kill this kid. This is your return gift to me for this generous gift... "When Card Xiu said this, he was extremely casual, and even had a leisurely feeling, as if the dark gold hunter Lion King Soth was certain to die.
Herb was speechless. He didn't expect that Card Xiu didn't have the slightest fear of flinching when he heard the dangerous situation he described.
Instead, he was holding a butcher knife, eager to try, and even planned to kill royal supporters. Take it as a small gift to yourself.
If it were any other person who said such big words, Herb would be dumbfounded and shake his head. But the Kaxiu in front of him was too calm, his tone did not waver at all, and he spoke with certainty.
Coupled with the vague sense of oppression and mystery, people have to consider whether the Lion King Soth will really be killed by him.
It was also the first time for Herb to encounter this situation. He shook his head helplessly and took out a golden badge of honor directly from his arms.
While throwing it to Card Xiu, he said: "It's up to you. If you can really kill the Lion King Soth, then that's your ability." Snap.
Card Xiu grabbed the badge in the air and lowered his head to observe. This badge is half the size of a palm and is in the shape of a shield.
There are concave and convex patterns like lions on the left and right sides, and in the middle is a judgment sword. There are traces of olive branches and rice ears twisting upwards on the edges.
In the sunlight, the sword of judgment shimmered with metallic luster. If you look closely, you can also see the fine thorn patterns on the sword.
"Submit this badge of honor to the Hunter Association, and they will record your name in the eucalyptus." Herb picked up the white porcelain tea cup again.
Ka Xiu lowered his eyelids and directly put the badge into his arms. This time around, Bai Kui has two obsessions. The first obsession is to become one of the five top leaders of the Dark Hunting Organization within one year.
Ka Xiu inherited Bai Kui's identity as a hunter, and there was no doubt that the most accessible one was the Holy Hunter.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. Becoming a shadow hunter under the Holy Hunter is undoubtedly the first stage goal of Card repair.
This requires not only strength, but also a quota recognized by the association. Since I am still within the Dark Hunting Organization and obtain the holy spring water through this channel, I still need to abide by the rules of the organization.
The gift from the old hunter Herb undoubtedly helped Card Xiu pass the critical stage. In addition, the rich resources that can be obtained with this authority, if nothing else, must include a lot of holy spring water.
Ka Xiu is very interested in this thing. The holy marks condensed by this thing actually have an impact on the special power of Nan Dou Boxing, and there are faint signs of fusion.
He plans to dig deeper and figure out the cause-and-effect relationship. If Card Xiu can really understand the principle.
So in this fifth retrospective, the biggest gain may not be the massive life vibration energy in the disaster world.
It's Nan Dou's special power after fusion! Death Tooth Strength, Echo Strength, and the yet-to-be-obtained Thorny Feather Strength.
These three special powers alone are already quite powerful and terrifying. If it were three in one, I really don’t know what monsters would come out.
You must know that the special power of Nan Dou Boxing has the characteristics of killing and indestructible. If the three powers to restrain the immortality of dark creatures are superimposed, then Kaxiu will be the natural enemy of disaster.
Nandou was the most powerful he had ever seen, and he was looking forward to it... When he came back to his senses, the thoughts in his mind gradually calmed down.
The old hunter Herb stood up, obviously going back. Ka Xiu also stood up and was about to give him a ride when he suddenly turned his head and looked outside the balcony.
Opposite the hunter's apartment is the public building of the Dark Hunting organization's headquarters. A little further away, it is no longer the area of the Hunter Association.
A hundred meters away, within the confines of the workshop, was the top of a clock tower-like building. A middle-aged man holding a telescope was so startled that he almost threw the telescope away.
In his field of vision just now, the hunter named Bai Kui suddenly turned his head and looked straight at him.
The child's hole seems to lead to a scarlet world, containing strong murderous intent and violence. Like a ferocious monster covered in human skin, it showed a bloody smile, full of malice and full of impact.
"What a lunatic, a lunatic who ran out of nowhere..." The middle-aged man cursed secretly. He didn't think that Cassius could detect his secret peeping from a hundred meters away.
Just think that this is a crazy hunter with intermittent mental illness, who likes to smile outside when he has nothing to do.
"Bloodaxe Herb finally gave away his share of the quota..." The man murmured to himself, and immediately turned around and walked down the bell tower.
Walk quickly in a certain direction towards the headquarters of the Dark Hunting Organization.
