Astral Apostle Chapter 83: Indiscriminate killing and questioning

Deep Rock City is not a plain city. It was excavated along a mountain.

Below a bridge is a long and narrow rift valley six to seven meters deep. Can't see the situation in the cave at all.

At this moment, one of the caves was overcrowded. The previously captured artisans and hunters were transferred here by Cole and others. They were crowded in the not-so-wide cave, and they only dared to talk in a voice almost breathless.

"These caves are places where dirty creatures gather. The sewage river is at the entrance. The smell is smoky, and sewage overflows from time to time. Even the poorest poor people don't want to live here. If you don't know it specially, outsiders We don’t know the situation of these caves, and we can’t be seen from the bridge at all, unless the gangsters jump off the bridge and cross the river all the way, they won’t be able to find us easily.”

Wei Bo explained the benefits of the hiding place in a low voice, and sat generously on the ground that had been soaked in sewage for a long time and looked extremely greasy, oblivious to the stench in the cave.

"Fortunately, you have locals to guide the way." Cole flicked a little mouse away without changing his face.

Hunting in the wild has experienced too many difficult environments, and the hunters present completely ignore the dirty smell here.

The craftsmen don't have such tenacity. From time to time, some people are retched due to the smell, and they are afraid that the sound will be too loud, so they can only press down desperately, feeling the greasy and greasy land under their buttocks, and feel that they are not clean.

"I don't know if Jess can come here, I left him a special secret code in the bunker, I hope he can understand it."

Cole whispered to his companion.

Curiosity was burning in Wei Bo's heart, and he interjected in a low voice and asked, "The hunter who went out to scout is called Jess? Does he have a surname?"

"He doesn't have a last name, what's wrong?" Cole turned around.

"It's nothing... Is it okay for him to go out to scout alone? Is he a hunter who has been strengthened several times?"

"Don't worry, he has been strengthened three times, and he is still an elite at this level. He is so strong that the gangsters can't catch him." Cole smiled.

"...If I remember correctly, a regular hunting team of your imperial hunters generally doesn't have two three-time enhancers, and the three-time strengtheners are all captains." Weber was puzzled.

On the way to transfer, Cole and others revealed their identities as hunters of the empire, which made everyone feel at ease.

Weber is a freelance hunter. After so many years of experience, he has known many expatriate imperial hunters, and he also knows the composition of the imperial hunter team. At this time, he can't help but wonder the unreasonable structure of this team.

"Jess joined the Empire Hunter not long ago, and he is still learning the hunting methods of the Empire Hunter. He has not led the team yet. But he is learning quickly. This time we went out to hunt a deadly beast. After returning to the capital, Jess I'm going to lead the team independently." Cole explained in a low voice.

"Joined not long ago? Learned quickly?" Weber subconsciously grasped the two words he cared about, and couldn't help but ask, "Where is that Jess from?"

Cole said the name of a small village that Weber didn't know, and suddenly realized, his tone was suspicious: "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"I just think he looks familiar, maybe he has hunted together before."

Wei Bo found a reason, but he became more and more puzzled, thinking that this man sounded more and more like Jason.

Could this person be Jason in disguise? Weber couldn't help but have such a bold conjecture, but he denied it in the next second.

Jason is dead, his jaw is gone, what he saw with his own eyes, can it be fake?

It is impossible for the dead to be resurrected. This is common sense that even uneducated earth bone people know. What I think is too absurd.

"Stop chatting!" At this moment, the captain of the hunter team suddenly changed his expression, and hurriedly booed a few times to make everyone quiet.

In the dark cave, it suddenly became silent, only the sound of deliberately suppressed panting, and the sound of the sewage river flowing slowly outside the cave could be heard.

After a few seconds in the tense atmosphere, Zhou Jing suddenly rolled over from above the cave and landed on the ground.

"It's me!"

He carried Lynn to find his teammates, knowing that his companions would definitely leave some secret signs, and after searching in the bunker, he found the message written by Cole in the secret language of the team, and then he came all the way.

Cole and the others felt relieved when they heard the familiar voice.

"How's the situation?" The team leader asked hurriedly.

"I fought with those gangsters, and killed six more of them. The strongest is Doton, who has been strengthened three times. Now there are more than 20 gangsters. They are basically in a group. They should be searching for your location."

Zhou Jing said briefly and put down Lin En on his back.

Cole noticed the person he brought: "Who is this person, did you catch the gangster?"

"No, this person is a commoner who fainted after being hunted down by bandits. Let's put him here first and protect him together." Zhou Jing did not disclose Lin En's wizard ability.

Cole and the others nodded and had no objection. Anyway, there are so many people, since they were rescued by accident, it doesn't matter if there is one more.

"There are still more than 20 people, what do you plan to do, can we solve it together?" The team leader asked Zhou Jing for his opinion.

"Don't worry, their strength is mediocre, I can kill them alone, they can't surround me at all." Zhou Jing pondered: "Well, you continue to protect these people so that no accidents happen, and wait for me at the same place , I'll kill them all."

Can you do it alone... Captain Hunter was a little skeptical, but still nodded.

"I'll go with you, as long as there is a captain here, it's fine if I'm missing, I can take care of your back." Cole suggested.

"Then follow along." Zhou Jing thought for a while, but did not refuse.

If there is a person to stand up to Doton, the efficiency of killing the enemy by himself can take off, and the enemy can be smashed to pieces with three strikes, five divisions and two divisions.

Although Cole was only strengthened for the second time, as an elite, he could barely pester Doton for a while. After all, Doton was only at a normal level in the three times of strengthening, not as strong as Zhou Jing.

The best candidate is actually the team leader, but it is also important to stay here to prevent accidents. He is afraid that he will miss Dorton and others. If the enemy goes straight here, at least the team leader can deal with it for a while. On his side, it is enough to have a helper, and there is no need for too much help.

…

More than 20 bandits searched the streets under the leadership of Dorton, and they didn't even dare to make too much noise, for fear of being noticed from afar and avoiding the sound.

However, after searching many streets, they found nothing. Those captives were not hidden nearby at all, so I don't know where they went.

"If it weren't for being dragged by that person, how could these prisoners run so far!"

Dorton had a dark face.

A savage man was killed halfway, not only killed several brothers, but also let his boiled duck fly away. Duo Dun's current mood is that of old age and constipation-full of anger.

"Boss, I can't find anyone, why don't we grab something and withdraw!"

"That's right, that person was too powerful just now, if he attacks again, we will still die!"

"Shut up, boss!"

Different from Dorton, the other accomplices have already started playing and retreated. They are unwilling to continue looking for someone, and want to run away with the stolen things.

Especially for the bandits who were strengthened for the first time, they just saw Zhou Jing's easy killing power, and their hearts were full of fear... Even Doton couldn't stop them. If they fought again, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Dorton's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and he could not ignore the opinions of his accomplices. The anger of failing to succeed slowly subsided, and reason slowly took over the high ground again.

After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, I gritted my teeth:

"When the news of Deep Rock City spreads, other towns will inevitably tighten their grip on hunters. It will be difficult for us to attack a fortress city from the inside like today... But the days are still long, and there is always a chance. At worst, we can change the way again. Go fight a small town, just withdraw."

Hearing this, many bandits were immediately overjoyed, fortunately the boss did not die.

Dorton suppressed his boredom, so he had to take the bandits back to the bunker in a hurry, intending to let everyone take the last loot and leave the town.

However, when he arrived at the bunker with his people, he found Zhou Jing standing at the other end of the street, staring at each other from afar.

"It's this guy again!"

Furious, Duo Dun drew out his scimitar and took the lead, not daring to let his subordinates attack first, and wanted to entangle Zhou Jing first, so as not to give him a chance to deal with others.

Zhou Jing was fearless, with two sabers in hand, he went forward to meet him.

Bang bang bang!

The weapons of the two slashed at each other several times in the blink of an eye, and sparks flew everywhere.

Dorton rushed too fast and lost touch with the accomplices behind.

Boom!

At this moment, the brick wall of a nearby house burst open.

Cole, who was in ambush, rushed out, raised his hand and slashed down with a knife.

Dorton was terrified, and rolled to dodge urgently, causing Cole to miss, and the cutting wind pressure brought up arc-shaped dust.

As soon as he turned over and stood up, he immediately prepared to parry Zhou Jing's pursuit, but he found that Zhou Jing passed him directly, and rushed towards the following bandits like a tiger like a herd of sheep. Er replaced Zhou Jing and came up to fight.

"Oops!" Doton knew something was wrong, and wanted to force Cole back quickly, turned around to stop Zhou Jing, and switched opponents to let his accomplices deal with this sudden enemy.

However, he fought hard a few times. Although Cole blocked it with difficulty, he slowed down his speed like nougat, showing superb knife skills and tenacious tenacity.

Taking advantage of Cole's opportunity to entangle Doton, Zhou Jing held his breath, released the bioelectricity stored in his body, and entered the [Lightning Strike] and [Internal Discharge] states at the same time, as quickly as a flash of lightning, rushed into the crowd and started Killed indiscriminately.

The double knives shuttled through the crowd like bright light trails.

Wherever it passes, blood red blooms.

Plop plop!

The bandits who were strengthened for the first time fell down one after another, and they had no strength in front of Zhou Jing's swords.

Without Doton's restraint, Zhou Jing was like chopping melons and vegetables in the crowd.

The high-speed blade is not light, but with extreme violence. Even if someone blocks the blade, it will be knocked into the air by the heavy force and knock over the companion.

Even if the enemy panicked and wanted to attack the enemy, he must save Zhou Jing from swinging his sword. While Zhou Jing blocked the weapons from all directions, he could smash the bones and tendons of the first-time strengthened enemy with just his powerful body. The poor one was killed directly by him.

In just a few back and forth, there were seven or eight dead bodies lying on the ground, and many bandits were terrified of being killed.

"Run!"

The rest of the villains who were strengthened for the first time finally panicked.

The villain who has been strengthened twice still has the will to fight, but seeing this scene, he knows that he is powerless, so he has no choice but to run away.

If this group of bandits got together, Zhou Jing would have to waste some energy, but when the enemy retreated, he would have no resistance at all. He moved at a high speed, directly chasing up and stabbing the bandits running behind to death.

The knife flashed, and another six or seven people fell into a pool of blood.

The rest of them took the opportunity to run away—at least they were blood warriors, and if they really split up and escaped, their pace would not be slow.

Although Zhou Jing was fast, he still had to chase them one by one. Seeing that the round trip distance was getting longer and longer, he simply ignored these small fish and turned around to fight Doton.

Dorton saw that his eyes were tearing apart, and with a tiger roar, he rushed towards Cole desperately, trying to escape.

Seeing this, Cole struggled to get hacked a few times, holding Dorton tightly.

The next moment, Zhou Jing charged horizontally between the two of them, and the two sabers slammed heavily on the scimitar.

Clang! !

The humming shock spread along the blade, and Doton's tiger's mouth burst open again, and he almost couldn't hold the weapon.

Zhou Jing attacked furiously with all his strength, one strike was faster than one strike, as if forging iron, he firmly suppressed Duo Dun.

Without the restraint of other bandits, Duo Dun didn't even have the space to breathe, let alone run away.

After blocking dozens of knives in a row, Duo Dun's hands were **** and bloody, and finally he broke his posture, flew the scimitar, and opened the door wide open.

Bang bang bang!

Zhou Jing smashed the joints of Duodun's hands and feet with the handle of the knife.

With a plop, Doton collapsed to the ground like ooze.

Zhou Jing flicked the saber, put the saber back into its sheath.

Cole clutched his wound and asked in surprise, "Why didn't you kill him?"

"This is the first time that the fortress city has been attacked by bandits. He is the leader of the bandits and an important prisoner. Instead of killing him here, it is better to bring him back to the capital for public trial." Zhou Jing's eyes flickered. .

Despite the fact that Deep Rock City was taken easily, it seems like a trivial matter. In fact, this gang of bandits who claimed to be the Sons of Alien Blood set a precedent for bandits to loot the fortress city. It is of great significance, far worse than Jason's assassination of the lord .

It happened to be hit by him. If this group of bandits succeeds, the entire Terra Empire will be a sensation, and the royal family will be furious.

Take Duo Dun back to the public trial, and as the biggest contributor to stopping this vicious incident, the person who personally captured the bandit leader will enter the royal family's field of vision and get on the line quickly.

Among the life goals of "Jason", the [Imperial Chief Hunter]'s requirement is to be canonized by the empire. Strength is the main factor, but it also needs to gain the prestige of the royal family. cooked.

With this in mind, Zhou Jing didn't kill him, and prepared to maximize Doton's benefits.

"You kill me..." Dorton collapsed on the ground, his voice hoarse.

"Okay, when the execution is public, I will apply to execute it myself." Zhou Jing readily agreed.

Duo Dun shut up, his face pale.

At this time, Cole squatted down, punched Dorton in the face, and burst into anger: "You dare to pretend to be a hunter to attack Deep Rock City, and the hunter's reputation has been ruined by you!"

Dorton closed his eyes and didn't want to pay attention.

Cole refused to let go, and said angrily: "I heard that you used to be a beast hunter, why did you abandon the hunter's persistence and do such a thing!"

Knowing that there is no way out, Duo Dun opened his eyes again and sneered:

"I have participated in dozens of hunts, big and small. Even if I survived one time, there will be another hunt, never ending, until I die in a certain hunt. This is the persistence of a hunter? You are so pathetic People are insatiably asking us to fight until we die, as if we are born to dedicate our lives to protect them. I have long since hated such days! Even if I fall into your hands, I have no regrets about what I did today Everything!"

Click it!

Zhou Jing directly removed Duo Dun's chin, and shook his hand casually.

"No matter how much you say, atrocities are still atrocities. You just need to obediently hand in your confession during the trial, and you don't need to talk about other nonsense. Be quiet."

After Zhou Jing finished talking casually, he turned his head to look, but found that Cole was stunned in place, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows:

"What's your reaction? You won't be persuaded by such clumsy reasons to pursue the freedom to do evil? No way, no way?"

"How is that possible." Cole categorically denied it, with a helpless expression on his face: "I just think that some of what he said may make sense. It's not right to fight to the death..."

"You're thinking too complicated." Zhou Jing shook his head, "Today I'll tell you a truth that I've learned not long ago."

"Uh, what truth?" Cole wondered.

Zhou Jing has a serious expression: "Do what you do, love what you do."

Cole was stunned, this is the truth.

"So... so?"

"So when you don't like this job anymore, just quit. People in the world rely on and look forward to hunters, which is part of the hunter's responsibilities. Since you choose to be a hunter, then accept it. If you don't like it, don't be a hunter. , you don’t have no choice but to live this kind of life, so why worry about it.”

Zhou Jing shrugged, picked up Doton casually, and swaggered away.

Cole was stunned for a long time, then scratched his forehead, and stepped forward to follow.

…

The sky is dim, and the morning light gradually drives out the night.

The murderous bandits disappeared, and the fire was extinguished. The chaos of the night passed, and the civilians who were hiding everywhere took to the streets again, staring blankly at the unrecognizable town.

When they were at a loss, they saw the imperial hunter team leading most of the Deep Rock City hunters who hadn't recovered, running around the streets to gather the surviving civilians in the city.

The civilians who had nowhere to go could only follow behind spontaneously. The crowd grew larger and larger, and finally gathered in the square in front of the lord's castle.

The hunter team told the story again~IndoMTL.com~ Only then did many civilians know what happened, and when they learned that it was the imperial hunters who stopped the atrocities, they all felt that they had narrowly escaped death, and their emotions were agitated.

The lord of Deep Rock City died, as did the Imperial Inspectors. Many town officials were killed by the Sons of Blood, and no one issued orders. At this time, the entire town has no leader.

In the end, under the organization of the hunter team, the famous survivors of Deep Rock City pulled up a team to treat the wounded, collect the corpses, and count the losses. In addition, send people to several surrounding cities to ask for help and ask other lords to take over.

Before the troops of other lords took over Deep Rock City, the hunter team decided to temporarily station in Deep Rock City, so as not to cause chaos in the chaotic town once they left.

Zhou Jing did not participate in the team's work of maintaining order. At this moment, he was in a temporary tent, staring at Weber.

Looking at Zhou Jing's familiar face, Wei Bo secretly convinced himself that there are no ghosts in this world, and said slowly:

"Do you know Jason Wood?"
