Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 6 Fear of Ambush!
--boom!

A muffled gunshot echoed around the outskirts of Chenxi Town.

For Luo Xiu, he had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for the two blood disciples to separate.

According to the "history" he knew and his understanding of the "Blood of Thorns" members' habit of acting in pairs, these two blood disciples would inevitably separate at some point in time!

As long as the two blood disciples do not act at the same time, it will be an opportunity for Luo Xiu to launch a sneak attack.

Obviously, Morris thought that it was not him but Fold who was in danger, so he let down his guard.

Little did Morris know that the opposite was true.

He thought he was the "hunter", but he didn't know that he was the "prey" being targeted!
While thinking this, Luo Xiu shot Morris in the back of the head.

The lead bullet spun rapidly in the air, like a tiny meteor with a golden tail, heading straight for the back of Morris's head.

Morris suddenly became alert the moment Luo Xiu pulled the trigger. He turned around, but it was too late to dodge.

--boom!

The lead bullet hit Morris' forehead accurately and exploded inside Morris's skull!

[Use "Judgment Shot" to attack Maurice Randwich]

【Hit the vital point! 】

[Causes 41 points of "Holy Light" attribute basic damage]

[Attack on the vital point, causing 82 points of actual damage! ]

Half of Morris's head was blown to pieces, a large amount of turbid matter flew everywhere, and the cross-section of the wound flashed with golden mottled light marks.

Morris's health points also instantly evaporated from 110 to 28 points.

Morris is seriously injured and on the verge of death!

But Luo Xiu did not let his guard down. As a master player, he understood one thing very well: as long as the enemy was not completely dead, they could counterattack at any time!

The current situation was exactly what Luo Xiu had expected.

Even though half of his brain was blown off, Morris did not fall down. He roared in pain, and his only remaining eye turned bloodshot as he looked towards the ruined wall where Luo Xiu was hiding.

Morris would never have imagined that someone was lying in ambush behind this ruined wall so close to him.

If he was shot in the head by an ordinary musket, although Morris, who has become a superhuman, would also be seriously injured, half of his head would not be blown off. Only a deep bullet hole would be left on his skull. With the characteristics of the [Red Lotus] destiny, he could slowly recover.

However, it was obvious that the musket that the young man in front of him used to attack him was not an ordinary musket! It was an extraordinary weapon!
Morris only took a glance at Luo Xiu and saw the priest's attire he was wearing, and a voice rolled out from his throat:

“Glorious…ho ho…Glorious…!”

Ninety-nine percent of the extraordinary people who embark on the path of [Red Lotus] are cultists, and are mortal enemies of the believers of the [Glorious] destiny who preside over the glorious and righteous.

And when he saw that Luo Xiu was wearing a priest robe, Morris understood the background of the attacker.

However, that was just the uniform of an ordinary priest, and the attacker was not the Holy Inquisitor who was specifically responsible for "judging heresy"!
Doubts emerged from half of Morris's mind, and at the same time, he launched a counterattack.

The dark red light turned into mist and merged into Morris's right hand, quickly forming a wriggling sickle covered with eyes.

Morris knew that even if the opposing priest had extraordinary weapons, it would take a long time to load any musket.

As long as the opposing priest fails to complete the second reload, his fate will be to be dismembered.

Just as Morris was shaking his body and about to pounce on Luo Xiu, waving his sickle.

--boom!

The second gunshot echoed on the night wind.

In Morris's sight, a large hole appeared on half of Luo Xiu's priest robe, and wisps of gray smoke were floating out of the hole. A bullet hole as big as a bowl appeared on the right side of Morris' chest, and golden lines spread along the edge of the wound, and blood gushed out from it.

Luo Xiu's left hand, hidden in his robe, was actually holding a second musket!
What does it mean to be well prepared and have nothing to worry about... Luo Xiu thought as he quietly watched Morris whose health was reduced to zero.

Morris's eyes widened as the vitality in his body drained away irretrievably, and he finally fell to the sandy ground exhausted.

This time, the blood disciple Morris died completely.

Luo Xiu stood up from behind the ruined wall and brushed off the dust on his body.

The reward prompt panel for killing Morris jumped slightly in the corner of Luo Xiu's vision. Luo Xiu temporarily ignored the prompt and quickly walked to Morris' side.

Someone must have heard the two gunshots just now... Maybe someone is heading in this direction, Luo Xiu thought.

He must complete the next action as soon as possible - use the "Soul Manipulator" to extract the soul of the blood disciple Morris!
Luo Xiu stretched out the hand with the copper ring on it, and several light purple, transparent ribbon-like phantom tentacles began to extend from the ring, some of which grabbed and entangled Morris's body.

Then, the remaining tentacles gathered into a phantom hand and reached straight into Morris's body.

After a while of groping, the big hand pulled out a bag of light red, gas-like translucent substance from Morris's body!

"This is the soul of the blood disciple Morris..." Luo Xiu murmured in a low voice.

In the games of his previous life, Luo Xiu had seen various shapes of "souls", but when he was actually there and saw them with his own eyes, Luo Xiu's brows were still tightly furrowed.

Although I am in the "game world", this feeling is much more real than the game...

This made Luo Xiu realize once again that this is the real world.

If a person is killed, he will die, and his soul may even be eaten up...

Luo Xiu felt a chill down his spine. Perhaps this world was a thousand times more terrifying than the world of his previous life.

Although Luo Xiu had performed the same behavior countless times in the game, when he realized that this was in a "real" environment, the first time he killed someone, the first time he extracted someone's soul...

Luo Xiu was trembling slightly, his chest was churning, and he felt a strong nausea.

But Luo Xiu quickly overcame these abnormal physiological conditions, suppressed all these feelings, and repeatedly told himself that this was a choice he had to make based on his current identity.

After extracting the soul of the blood disciple Morris and sealing it in a bronze ring, Luo Xiu quickly evacuated the scene, leaving Morris's body there.

At this moment, Luo Xiu has obtained the most valuable thing from Morris.

But Luo Xiu no longer had time to search Morris's body from inside to outside. He needed to chase the second blood disciple as soon as possible.

And Luo Xiu didn't need to deal with the body because he could identify Morris as a cultist from his clothes.

The death of a cultist will not lead to excessive investigation by organizations such as the "Holy Inquisitor".

There is no extraordinary spiritual residue on the ordinary lead bullets fired by the "extraordinary weapons", so there is no way to trace the identity of the killer.

This is also the reason why Luo Xiu chose to engrave "fire gun" instead of "ammunition".

Then, there is still one blood disciple left to be dealt with.

Luo Xiu estimated the movement route of the blood disciple Ford, picked up the cloth bag and set off, trying to keep a suitable distance from Ford's actions.

Until he went deep into an uninhabited alley, Luo Xiu entered an abandoned house.

After lighting the candle he carried with him, Luo Xiu was surrounded by a minimum amount of light, and his vision became a little clearer.

Luo Xiu took out a piece of etched wolf skin with the "Abyss Inscription" from the cloth bag and spread it flat on the ground. In the dim candlelight, the dark purple lines on the surface of the wolf skin flickered with a dim and strange luster.

"This completes the most important step..."

Luo Xiu murmured, "Obtain the key medium..."

He will complete the last step of "Summoning the Abyss Beast" here!
Use Morris' soul as a medium of sacrifice to summon the beast from the abyss!
