Chapter 187 Dominic's Hunt

Generally speaking, Awakeners of Abandoned Street often go out hunting.There are four blocks in the east, west, north and south, and there are direct exit passages, so it is very convenient for the Awakened to hunt.

There are only so many resources in the city, so there are often awakened ones who go out to collect spiritual materials.

Ruins of this kind are often found.

After they discover the ruins, they usually have three choices: one is to develop it by themselves, the other is to sell the news, and the third is to invite someone to develop it together.

Generally speaking, the third option will not be selected.

After all, this risk is too great and extremely uncontrollable, and it is easy to cause things like "killing people and stealing goods" and "black people eat black people".

See everyone's eyes swept over.

The short man continued: "It's a Buddhist temple. The style of the building is very similar to the Shivonia period. I don't know why it sank into the old world. The area of ​​the Buddhist temple is very large, and I didn't dare to go deep into it. This string of beads is I got it from inside."

Hearing him say this, someone immediately asked: "Then how can we be sure that there is no malice between each other? Is what you said really true? If this problem can't be solved, I don't think anyone will go."

In such a place, it is just a simple item transaction, and everyone will be very cautious.

Not to mention the need to explore together and face dangerous situations together.

Once the short man was promised to go to the ruins together, but the ruins that the other party said were fake, or the other party's companions had already been ambushed there, it was very possible to eat black and immortals to jump directly.

In Abandoned Street, never trust the morality and conscience of others.

Faced with doubts, the short man said solemnly: "I have a third-order 'contract scroll' from the Church of Order here, which can be signed by five people. Those who are willing to go can sign their names on this contract.

But the value of this contract is one thousand pounds, so I will not give any additional payment to those who sign the contract and go to explore the ruins with me.

I will take 60.00% of the exploration proceeds in the ruins, and you can freely distribute the remaining 40.00%. "

The crowd fell into contemplation.

The brawny host shook his head: "The pay is average, the risk is unknown, how many people are you going to hire?"

"At least two, at most four, this is the upper limit of the contract signing. The Buddhist temple is very large, and if the strength is sufficient, the income in it will definitely not be small." The short man replied.

After he finished speaking, everyone did not make a sound, but was thinking about the gain and loss of this matter.

The result is obvious, not many people are willing to take such a risk, and in the end the short man will only find one guy who is willing to go with him.

Trading will continue.

"I have ten bottles of healing potions in my hand, which are less effective than those produced by the Church of Life. Each bottle is fifty gold pounds." A woman wearing a hooded windbreaker with her head tightly covered stood up and took it with her. He took out ten bottles of green liquid from his pocket.

Healing potions have never been worrying about sales, and they were all bought quickly. No one would be too much of this kind of thing that can save lives at a critical moment.

A trade will come down.

Basically, it is the exchange of various items, and the price is almost maintained within one thousand pounds, which is also a common amount for low-level awakened people to trade.

"I have a psychic weapon in my hand, and the wear rate is about 80.00%."

Just as the meeting was about to end, Romon took out his "fangs".

The value of this fangs is about one thousand gold pounds. It was the reward he got from the investigation bureau for killing a third-order awakened person on the most wanted list at that time.

After several uses and battles, it has a lot of wear marks on it.

With the current physical strength of Romon, it is completely useless.

The destructive power that just the flesh can cause is far more than the fangs.

As for the characteristic that the fangs are highly poisonous, it can be completely compensated for by the ability of [Wipe Poison].

Therefore, this Hidden Sword is worse than nothing to him, and it is rarely used. It is better to just throw it out, and then add money to buy a new psionic weapon.

Psionic weapons have always been in short supply, not to mention fangs, which are better than sneak attacks.

Soon the woman who was selling the potion just now raised the price to six hundred gold pounds. Although others wanted it, they were discouraged by the price.

So Romon made a deal with her very readily.

After the trade fair ended, the host said, "The next trade fair will be three days later, and it will still be here, the same rules."

The deal will soon dissipate.

In the next few days, Luo Meng participated in several trade fairs here in a row, and got to know each other well with the host.

The opponent's name is Gero, and he is the second-in-command in the Knife Gang.

This trade fair has always been managed by him, and the people participating in the trade fair have not changed much. It is the dozens of awakened people who come and go.

Romon has indeed found many familiar faces in the past few times.

For example, the short man was still looking for a helper to explore the ruins together, but he never found it in the end.

And the pharmacist, who would come up with different kinds of pharmacies to sell each time.These are guys with obvious characteristics, so Romon remembers them very well.

Just two weeks later, at the end of the fair.

Gro stopped him, "Mr. Romon should be a third-order awakener, right? Are you interested in participating in a ruins exploration?"

"Relic Exploration?"

Luo Meng stopped in his footsteps with a strange expression on his face: "You mean which ruins were discovered by Mr. Marin?"

Marin was that short man.

The other party has been looking for someone at the trade fair several times, but in the end, he couldn't find it at all. After all, no one would be willing under those conditions.

Gro nodded, "Yes. I learned about it carefully and found that this ruin should be the real Shivonia Buddhist Temple. There may be a lot of good things in it, and we will definitely gain a lot."

Shivonia was once a nation of multiple federation tribes, somewhat similar to today's High Confederation.

However, as early as 300 years ago, Xionia had already perished, and the remaining main country is divided into countless small countries today. Only some remote places may still have the culture of Xionia.

In this former empire, the most famous are the Buddhist temples and Buddhist culture.But the Buddhism here is completely different from the Buddhism that Romon knew on Earth.

There are no known Buddhist Bodhisattvas.

The gods believed in Shivonia Buddhism are called "Old Buddha", "Tongguang Buddha"...

Romon has never heard of the names of these Buddhas, but according to the records of the Shivonia period, the gods and Buddhas they believe in performed miracles and blessed believers.

In other words, these gods and Buddhas have the personalities of gods.

Even if they are not as good as the top ten righteous gods, they must have the strength of evil gods such as "Dark Toad" and "Sorrowful God".

Because at that time almost the whole country in Shivonia believed in Buddhism, which led to the barbaric growth of Buddhism, and every Buddhist temple was very rich.

If it is really a Buddhist temple from the Shivonia period, then there are indeed good things in it.

Romon thought for a moment, "What about the reward?"

"He takes 20.00%!" Gero's eyes flashed with joy: "Because Marin also knew that he could not take down the ruins by himself, so he gave in and only took 20.00% of the total spoils. But he also proposed There is a new requirement, this time the person traveling together must reach the third level."

Marin's request worked in his favor.

He is the provider of relic information, but his strength is not strong.When the share of the loot decreases, you can only make your companions stronger and get more loot.The less the share, the more the total amount, and his harvest will not be less.

And Marin asked for five people, which is also true.

Only when the overall strength of the team becomes stronger can he gain more.

"So this time, except for Marin, they are all third-order awakeners?" Romon asked carefully.

Gro nodded: "Yes, because I have to gather five people, I have been looking for three weeks. Now there is only one person left, you nod and agree, we can set off immediately. Constrained by the orderly contract, you don't have to worry about this. It's a trap."

Romon thought for a while, and finally agreed.

He wanted to see what the Buddhist temple from Shivonia looked like.

While making money, you can also make a lot of money, there is no reason to refuse.

Now I have only five thousand pounds left in my savings.

Because it was used a lot in the White Tower, plus travel and daily life, it consumed a large amount of money.Even if I can participate in the black market auctions held by those big forces in the future, I won't be able to buy the materials I want if I don't have enough money.

"That's all right. After the bell rings tomorrow, we will still gather here." Grow let out a long sigh and said easily.

The next day, Romon came to the trading place of the Xiaodao Gang, and Marin had already been waiting here, and Ge Luo and two other third-order awakeners also arrived one after another.

The five simply exchanged names.

In addition to Gro and Marin, the other two third-order awakeners are called Bart and Luke.

Bart is a man with a black bag hanging all over his body. The bag smells bad. He is probably a pharmacist or a potionist.

Luke is a one-eyed man with what looks like a coffin on his back.

All three of them revealed powerful psychic abilities.

"Come on, let's sign the contract first."

Marin took out a golden scroll from his pocket. Several people took turns to confirm the terms of the contract. After finding no problems, they signed their names.

After all five signed, the scroll turned into black ash and disappeared into the air.

……

Windhelm City.

Li Ke leaned against the shadow of the alley, gasping for breath.

He covered the wound on his abdomen with his left hand and looked behind him with frightened eyes.

Boom, boom.

There was a dull sound at the entrance of the alley, and a giant octopus with a twisted body squirmed and chased after it. The huge body almost blocked the entire alley, and the messy tentacles had to climb the walls on both sides of the alley.

"The Crazy Society can actually create such a monster. It must be reported to the headquarters. We have far underestimated the threat of the Crazy Society. The situation in Windhelm City is likely to get out of control..."

Li Ke's whole body kept shaking.

Now he has reached his limit, but if he doesn't fight, it is very likely that he will not have the last chance.

Li Ke took out a talisman from his arms, bit his finger, blood dripped on the talisman, and a huge pillar of fire spurted out from the talisman.

The blazing flames exploded on the monster's face, and the sparks filled the sky toward the walls on both sides, smoky black marks, and the octopus monster let out a scream like a baby, and its wriggling body rolled back several times.

Li Ke seized this opportunity, took out a pipe from his pocket, took a deep breath, put the pipe in his mouth, and spewed out countless smoke.

The smoke formed several soldiers with long knives, rushing forward.

The limbs of the octopus monster wriggled, and the tentacles swept away, strangling these smoke soldiers.

It's just that after these smoke soldiers were killed, the escaping smoke formed a circular cage, trapping the octopus in it.

"That should be fine, it's always just a brainless beast."

Li Ke stepped back quickly, heading towards the Windhelm City Investigation Bureau.Only when he returned to the Bureau of Investigation could he inform the headquarters that the situation here had become extremely bad.

However, he only took a few steps.

A thin book page floated out and slid across his neck, bringing out a patch of dark red blood.

Li Ke fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes gradually blurred, and the floor tiles under him were covered with blood.

"Mr. Li Ke, you must be careful when walking."

Dominic slowly walked out of the alley and smiled: "Did you just die? I didn't control my strength, I guess it's a little troublesome now. But he knows too much and it's hard to do. What should I do? By the way. , I haven't tried this for a long time..."

He squatted down, pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose, stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the corpse.

At this moment, Dominic's left palm suddenly cracked a mouth full of fine fangs.

Then there was a sour chewing sound.

In just a few seconds, Li Ke's body evaporated out of thin air, leaving only a set of blood-stained clothes.

In Dominic's open mouth, a barbed tongue licked the blood that had not yet solidified on the ground, as if he was reluctant to leave.

"Don't worry, don't worry, there will be time to fill you up, there will be a feast soon."

Dominique gently touched the tongue full of weirdness, even though the skin was scratched with sharp barbs.

He didn't smile until the tongue returned to his mouth.

The mouth in the palm of the hand closed again, turning into a gap and disappearing.

Dominic narrowed his eyes slightly and twisted his neck: "Since it has been digested successfully, let's try it. It will be very interesting. I really look forward to the expressions of those in the Bureau of Investigation who know the truth."

Between the words, his body began to change.

Every bone and muscle was squirming violently, and the skin on his face stretched and shortened. After a period of earth-shaking changes, he turned into Li Ke's appearance.

"It's still a little uncomfortable, it's too vicissitudes of life to look like this."

Dominic turned around, picked up the pipe from Rick's remaining clothes, and took a deep breath.

All the smoke trapping the giant octopus was sucked into the pipe.

"It turned out to be this ability. It seems that Mr. Li Ke is a very powerful role in the third-order."

Dominic opened the book in his right hand, put the giant octopus in the book, and left without looking back.
