Netherworld Immortal

Following Xu Yang's scolding, not far from him, a pile of ordinary dead leaves quietly arched from the ground, gradually revealing a vague human shape.

Xu Yang couldn't take his eyes off it.

"It looks like someone who has been hiding for an unknown amount of time."

"If this guy hadn't moved before, I would never have thought there was someone there."

Looking carefully, on the little finger of the man's right hand, there was a caterpillar spinning and cocooning, weaving layers of dark silk curtains to hide itself in it.

"Looking at the state of this cocoon, this person has been hiding here silently for at least half a day."

"That is to say, as soon as I got here, this person hid himself, but I never found him."

As the man shook off layers of dead leaves covering his body, the truth became clearer and clearer.

It was a man in a dark tights.

Very clever hiding technique.

"I'm only two feet away from him. With my perception, unless it's a stone, how could I not notice it? But he's clearly there!"

Xu Yang's eyes fell on the man's waist, and he saw a knife handle exposed outside, and the man's left hand was clenched on the knife handle.

"Just now, if this guy directly drew his sword and attacked me, at such a distance, I must have been hit." Xu Yang whispered to himself.

As soon as I thought of this, I felt a whirlwind coming out of my spine.

If I was assassinated here, even if I survived, if I was seriously injured, I would not be able to return to the Allied Forces of Light in time.

The Warcraft soldiers from the City of Purple Lions only obey their own city lord, and never serve two masters in their lives.

Without the command of the Warlord, the Warcraft soldiers will automatically separate from the Alliance of Light.

The Allied Forces of Light are already in a weak position. If only the White Lion City and Glory City are left, they will undoubtedly lose in the next siege battle with the Central City.

Xu Yang let out a long breath, "Fortunately, that didn't happen."

This guy is not human?Or a dryad?

He was able to fuse breath and dead leaves into one, and even insects regarded his fingers as a branch.

In the world of light, there is a legend that in the ten-thousand-year-old forest, there lived a half-human, half-tree tree demon, a kind of light elf.

Could it be that there are "tree demons" in the dungeon world?

At this time, the "Tree Demon" shook off the dead leaves on his body, stood up, panting heavily.

Only then did Xu Yang see clearly that the other party was undoubtedly alone.

This person's clothes are somewhat similar to those worn by Xu Yang.

Especially when he covered his face with a dark scarf, only his eyes were exposed, and he was dressed like a thief in the dark.

The handle of the dagger pinned to this man's waist was made of ivory, and four bright rubies were inlaid on the surface.

Ivory and rubies are rare items in the dungeon world, and the price of this dagger is at least [-] gold coins in the black market.

Carrying short stabs such as daggers is usually the standard equipment for thieves in the dark when traveling. They are used to kill people in the dark and also for self-defense.

At this moment, Xu Yang also had a dagger pinned to his waist, which was just an ordinary horn handle.

Night thieves are the lowest-ranking mercenary class among the chaotic elves, and they are usually not rich.

Judging from the value of his attire and the dagger he carried, this man was a night thief, but by no means an ordinary night thief.

If there is a fight here, most of the soldiers patrolling nearby will be alarmed.

You can't take the initiative to provoke a fight here, at least until you find out the identity of the other party.

"Are you a night thief?" Xu Yang naturally put his hands together in front of his chest, and asked in a non-aggressive posture.

Seeing Xu Yang's appearance, the other party immediately put his hands together in front of his chest, also expressing that he did not want to do anything.

"Aren't you also a night thief?" The guy opposite didn't deny his identity, and asked back.

"Yes, I am a night thief." Xu Yang replied without thinking.

"You night thief is too bad." The guy opposite suddenly said in a reprimanded tone.

"Why am I so bad?" Xu Yang questioned.

"Give me a sip of the wine in the wine gourd first, and I'll tell you later." The night thief stared at the wine gourd on Xu Yang's waist and said.

The night thief on the opposite side covered his face with a black scarf, but when he finished speaking, the position of his Adam's apple moved, which was the movement of swallowing saliva.

Xu Yang noticed all the details.

"The guy who swallows his mouth when he sees good wine must be an alcoholic." Xu Yang was sure.

Drunkards love drunkards.

Xu Yang's defenses were a little more relaxed, but there was a natural sense of intimacy among drunkards.

He untied the wine gourd from his waist and shook it in his hand.

The sound of wine splashing, to the ears of drunkards, is the most beautiful tune.

"I brewed soju at home." As he said, he deliberately opened the stopper, and the aroma of the wine overflowed.

He saw the other party swallowing his saliva again.

"This night thief must have not drunk for a long time." Xu Yang was about to walk over with a wine gourd.

"Don't come close to me, just throw the wine gourd over." The other party suddenly warned.

The night thief was very cautious. He held his left hand on the handle of the unsheathed dagger pinned to his waist.

Xu Yang stopped, and also held the handle of the dagger on his body with his left hand.

When two unknown night thieves met and one of them took hold of the handle of the dagger, the other had to do the same.

This is the daily respect among the night thieves, because the night thieves are the least disciplined, and it is common for them to attack each other.

Xu Yang stood still, and threw the wine gourd in his right hand over, "Here you are."

The night thief firmly caught the wine gourd with one hand, and took off the black scarf covering his face.

Xu Yang also took off the scarf on his face.

This is the rule of the night thieves. When two strange night thieves meet, one takes off the veil and the other takes it off, which means that there is no hostility between the two parties.

The night thief first glanced at Xu Yang, he saw Xu Yang's facial features clearly, and said, "You are not a real night thief."

"Why am I not?" Xu Yang was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked back.

The night thief raised the corners of his mouth, smiled triumphantly, and said, "This question will be answered together with the previous one. Wait for me to take a sip of wine. I haven't had a drop of water in three days. In this world, nothing is Quenches thirst better than wine."

After speaking, he raised the wine gourd, the wine in the mouth of the gourd rushed out, a silver thread fell into the mouth, and the aroma of the wine rolled.

"Good wine, good wine! This is one of the best wines I've ever had in my life." After taking a few gulps of wine, the night thief's eyes glowed brightly.

Xu Yang could see clearly that this night thief had gray hair, a bloodless face, and black eye sockets.

The most glaring thing is that there is a gash on this guy's neck that was cut open by a sharp weapon.

The incision was about an inch long, the wound was straight, and the flesh was turned out. It could be imagined that it was scratched by an extremely sharp knife.

Every time the Night Thieves swallowed his drink, a burst of bright red burst out from the wound.

"Are you injured? And it's serious." Xu Yang couldn't help asking.

The night bandit drank a few more gulps of wine before looking at Xu Yang, and said, "That's right, I was injured, and it was very serious. Now I can answer your two previous questions."

"please say."

"First question, I said you are too bad. Because the wound on my neck was injured by a cursed dagger, the wound could not heal easily, causing bleeding. I must leave here in time and find a witch doctor to heal Me. I happen to know a witch doctor friend who lives in the witch doctor's hut in the swamp on the other side of the mountain. And this forest path is the only way to the witch doctor's hut."

"So, you happened to meet me here, so you hid." Xu Yang saw that the other party was struggling to speak, so he interjected on purpose.

"Because it's perfectly normal for thieves to cheat on each other in the dark night. Especially since I was seriously injured, normally you wouldn't let this opportunity go. If nothing else, the dagger on my body is worth thousands Gold coins." The night thief said truthfully.

"But I squatted here for most of the day without moving, and you had to hide in the pile of dead leaves for most of the day, and the wound on your neck was bleeding during this time." Xu Yang said.

"If you keep squatting down like this, I will bleed to death. I am tired and thirsty hiding in the leaves. When I was thinking about whether to shoot you, you just took out the wine gourd to drink. Click on your mouth. I also like to drink on weekdays. When I smelled the smell of wine, my breath-holding wooden dummy was broken. Do you think you are bad or not?"

"It's just a coincidence, I really didn't mean it. So what about the second question? Why do you say I'm not a night thief."

"Hey, cough, cough." The night thief smiled triumphantly, followed by a cough, and bright red gushed out from the wound on his neck.

The night thief bared his teeth in pain.

"From the moment you take off your veil, I am sure you are not a night thief. As a night thief, you will cover your face no matter day or night, and only the eyes will be exposed to the sun. Therefore, the skin around the eyes will be tanned The rest of the skin is darker. And you, the skin color of the eyes and the skin color of the cheeks are almost the same. I dare say that you have not worn this mask for more than a day. So, you are a fake Thieves in the night without a doubt."

"Thank you for your advice. I am indeed not a real night thief." Xu Yang provoked Brother Thumb, "However, I never meant to hurt you."

The night thief curled his lips and said, "Even if you kill me now, I'm not afraid. Because as long as I don't die in the hands of the night thief, I will always be the king of thieves. This is my glory."

In the tone of the night thief, there was a kind of pride in his identity.

Xu Yang thought for a while, and said, "Are you the current most powerful thief in the dungeon world, Rita who is known as the king of thieves?"

The night thief nodded.

"It turns out that he is really Rita, the king of thieves." Xu Yang was overjoyed.

Xu Yang has seen this person's name in the information Lan Youyou gave him.

Rita, the Lord of Thieves, is one of the key figures in the dungeon world, and a force of resistance to win over.

The King of Thieves was unwilling to submit to the rule of the new dungeon overlord, Jushan, and set up a free army composed of a small number of night thieves.

"Rita, the king of thieves, your name is as loud as thunder. I know that you resisted Jushan, the lord of the central city. I guess you must have gone to the central city, not to assassinate the lord of the city, Jushan?" Xu Yang said.

The King of Thieves shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "I'm not that overwhelmed. Although I'm good at assassination, I'm not stupid enough to assassinate an enemy ten times stronger than me."

Xu Yang nodded: "You are very sensible."

The night thief said: "You squatted here for most of the day, observing the guarding of the central city. I guess you are a member of the Light Alliance and have a high status."

"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes," Xu Yang smiled, "Yes, I am a member of the Allied Forces of Light, and I am Demon Fire, the lord of the Purple Lion City. Jushan, the lord of the central city, is our common enemy , we can cooperate."

As he spoke, Xu Yang took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it over.

"This medicine bottle is the wound medicine powder refined by Mo Tong, the lord of the White Lion City, and the priest of the Heavenly Demon. It is imbued with a special witch spell, which should be able to stop the wound on your neck from bleeding." Xu Yang smiled and walked forward. After taking two steps, he handed over the medicine bottle.

The king of thieves touched the powder on his neck.

It was a pale golden medicine powder, and when it came into contact with blood, it emitted a cloud of pale golden light.

Miraculously, the wound on the neck of the King of Thieves healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The king of thieves touched his neck, "Is there such a magic medicine in the world?"

Xu Yang explained: "It's not a magic medicine, it's just suitable for your trauma."

"I really don't know how to thank you, you saved my life."

"You drank my wine, we are friends, and we have a chance to drink together."

"Hahaha." The two looked at each other and laughed.

"Actually, I just slipped into the central city and stole something from Jushan. This thing is of no use to me, but it may be very useful to you. With him, it is your bargaining chip against Jushan. "

After finishing speaking, the night thief took out a seemingly ordinary dead leaf from his cuff.

He twisted it lightly with his hands, and the dead leaves shattered, revealing a black corner.

"This is?" Xu Yang asked.
