Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 59: Night in the Slums (Please read! More chapters!)

Sina City, Slum No. 8.

This is a settlement hidden in a dilapidated alley on the edge of Sina City.

Many unemployed people, refugees and criminals live here, casting an irresistible shadow over the city.

This is just one of the dozen or so slums in Sina City. Beneath the appearance of "prosperity", "extreme poverty" will slowly grow.

……

At this time, Luo Zheng was walking on the dilapidated path of the eighth slum.

It took him nearly an hour to get here after he came out of the hotel.

It wasn't that the slums were far from the city, but that they were too remote - he had to cross the entire main road to reach the outer alley, and then turn around a dozen alleys...

When Luo Xiu actually arrived at the eighth slum, a rotten, pungent smell hit him in the face.

The air of the entire slum was filled with a fishy smell, as if both sides of the road were filled with rotten meat.

Looking around, you can see a corpse of someone who died of starvation every few meters.

Swarms of maggots were wriggling on these corpses, and countless flies were hovering around them.

……

midnight.

Even though the so-called "houses" in the slums cannot withstand the cold at all, those "residents" will still choose to hide in the houses, shivering and enduring one cold season after another.

And those "wanderers" and "scavengers" who cannot even dream of having a wall to shelter them from the wind, hold a roll of tattered bedding, look for a roof to shelter them from the rain, and numbly endure night after night.

Luo Xiu walked past many "wanderers" and "scavengers" in this way, feeling countless cold and vigilant gazes.

Luo Xiu was also observing them at the same time.

He kept the "detection" frequency going, and the feedback from the panel indicated that these people were all civilians, without embarking on any extraordinary destiny... they were truly just ordinary people.

Luo Xiu observed carefully and continued to go deeper under the watchful eyes.

……

The reason why Luo Xiu chose to come to the "Eighth Slum" was because the "Blood of Thorns" was scattered in strongholds all over Sina City, and he was most familiar with the distribution of the strongholds here.

——Because in his previous life, he, as a high-ranking member of the [Glory], personally led a team to clear out the cult stronghold here.

According to Luo Xiu's memory, this stronghold had dozens of "blood slaves", a dozen "blood disciples" with a "double destiny", and six or seven "destroyers" with a "triple destiny".

The one in charge of this slum stronghold is a "Shadow of Killing" who has reached the fourth level of [Red Lotus].

This is also the Blood of Thorns, one of the strongest fighters in Sina City.

There was a qualitative gap between his strength and the other party's highest combat power, so Luo Xiu did not intend to overturn their entire stronghold in one night.

You know, for Luo Xiu now, the cultists of "Blood of Thorns" are like leeks in the experience pool, which need to be harvested one after another.

The cult stronghold that Luo Xiu chose to clear out was the "Eighth Slum".

This is just one of the many "outposts" of Thornblood throughout the slums.

This is the characteristic of the Blood of Thorns. They do not gather in one group, but are spread out in the form of various "sentinel points" and connect with each other to form an intricate intelligence network.

And at the outpost of "Slum No. 8", the "Shadow of Killing" is not here.

The strongest leader here is a "body destroyer" with a triple destiny of [Red Lotus]!
Killing this "body destroyer" is the purpose of Luo Xiu's trip.

……

When the smell of blood suddenly became strong in the air.

Luo Xiu stopped and disappeared behind a dangerous wall.

He could sense the violent and rampant spiritual surge emanating from the other side of this dangerous wall.

At the same time, the air was filled with a smell that was several times more fishy than a rotting corpse.

The blue moonlight was blocked by the broken eaves, making it difficult for Luo Xiu to see the surroundings further away. However, this creepy feeling left a deep impression on Luo Xiu.

"——Spiritual vision."

Luo Xiu immediately activated the skill of "Spiritual Vision".

He then saw that in the originally pitch-black vision, countless scarlet blood-red spiritual threads were floating like a tide.

Luo Xiu could roughly confirm that this was the entrance to the Thornblood outpost in the "Eighth Slum".

……

Luo Xiu checked himself one last time and chanted the "consecration prayer" and "consecration blessing" in advance.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu summoned Fenrir out of the abyss.

“…Ouch.”

Fenrir slowly emerged from the shadows, letting out a low hiss.

——It’s like a corporate slave who is happily eating when suddenly called by his boss to work overtime.

"Be good, Fenrir, be good..."

Luo Xiu squatted down and gently stroked Fenrir's back.

"..."

After pacifying Fenrir, Fenrir disappeared into Luo Xiu's shadow.

Luo Xiu then stood up and walked into the dark shadows of the alley.

……

When Luo Xiu passed through a layer of faint crimson blood mist.

The surrounding environment seemed to tremble slightly at a certain moment.

In the state of "spiritual vision", Luo Xiu saw "spiritual" figures standing on both sides not far ahead.

In the pitch-black environment and blood-red fog, the "spirituality" of these two figures was a dull gray.

This is the characteristic of an enlightened person who has touched the "ocean of spirituality" but has not truly stepped into the extraordinary "first level of destiny."

——They were two blood slaves of the first level of [Red Lotus], and they were guarding the entrance to this outpost.

Luo Xiu then walked slowly while confirming the attack distance.

……

When entering the flashing range of "Hunting Step", Luo Xiu's figure suddenly disappeared in an instant!
The next moment, Luo Xiu appeared in the center of the two "blood slaves".

Due to the effect of "Hunting Pace", a strong sense of fear suddenly arose in the hearts of the two blood slaves.

This mental hesitation made Luo Xiu pull out a short-bladed dagger from his sleeve and slash it against the neck of a blood disciple.

The dagger he used had been "engraved" before he set out, and its power had reached the level of an extraordinary weapon.

The dagger struck the blood slave in the throat, killing him instantly.

Blood gushed out from the wound on the blood slave's neck. His body gradually went limp, and after twitching for a while, he became motionless.

……

After completing the first kill, the blood slave on the other side noticed something was wrong. He just came back to his senses from the state of "fear" and subconsciously wanted to escape deeper.

However, as soon as he turned around, his eyes met with a red wolf bathed in fire.

Fenrir leaped up like a shadow and quickly bit the blood slave's neck. His wolf fangs bit into the blood slave's neck muscles. The hot flames burned the blood slave's skin, stopping his escape.

Then he felt a chill on his back.

A dagger flashing with a deep black light completely pierced his chest, and blood splattered.
