Chapter 104 Black Cloak
"I'm going out now. Shouldn't you give me your blessing?" Ming fed the two froglets, placed them on his knee, stroked their bellies, and said.
[Da Vinci paws and scratches its belly, thinking about how nice you were today and how you must be going out to play again... It assured you it wouldn't tell Wendy about your plans to play.]
[Your foodie has fallen asleep...]
"..."
Ming's eyes narrowed and he flicked the foodie's buttocks.
"Oh, you're just acting sleepy on purpose."
Ming threw the two froglets into the pond, and threw a worm at the koi. After all, it was so small, the meal must be small too.
Besides looking at the koi and eating my stuff, it is also time for you to descend upon your blessings for me. You're good at it, aren't you?
He then inspected the spike traps strategically placed around the house and erected a wooden sign in front of it that read: [Private place, no spectators.
[Private location, no spectators, or else bear the consequences]
After that, Ming climbed to the roof and stood up high to inspect the trap layout.
The layout was excellent, with at least three ambushed traps on each side.
He then jumped off the roof and dashed down the hill.
[Your da Vinci and foodie lying on the roof, looking at your distant figure, da Vinci spit out his tongue, really you went out to play, forget it. I wish you a good time.]
[Your foodie croaked, satisfied with what he ate today and deciding to get a good night's sleep]
"Finally...!"
Ming was overjoyed to receive Da Vinci's good luck blessing.
Foodie also activated the Big Appetite King skill, which increased his overall body attributes.
It was exactly 14:00 pm, four hours before the trading house opened; if everything went well, he could kill at least 4-5 Lord levels.
But he was not sure he could find so many Lord zombies.
He had been searching the east and north sides for the past two days with little success. Therefore, he decided to try his luck on the south side this time.
He'll have to return to the sewers later, and he intends to bring home some more stinky mud, which is a source of nutrients for earthworms.
They thrive and require dirt to survive.
By the way, there appears to be a tattered elite centipede carcass in his warehouse. He was about to chop it up and sprinkle it in the earthworm crop; he was curious if it could act as a 'fertilizer'.
That's fantastic if it can.
Boom~
He felt the vibration under his feet at this point and dodged to the side, finding high ground to stand on.
Suddenly, the ground cracked, and an elite centipede appeared, staring at the man.
"Indeed, Da Vinci's blessing is quite effective; as soon as you step outside, you come across an elite centipede."
Using his crossbow, Ming attacked the centipede in front of him, and he couldn't figure out why, but every time he struck at it, multiple arrows would fire.
Cheng~Cheng~Cheng~
Arrows rained down, breaking armor, alternately using the left and right hands. Every time the centipede tried to impact, it triggered the crossbow's knockback effect, it was hit with its head tilted back, completely unable to rush forward.
Moments later, the one-star Lord centipede became a cactus infested with holes.
It took two Primary Repair rolls to kill a One Star Lord. As a result of shooting so fast, both crossbow and arrow pouch durability dropped alarmingly.
Boom~
One-star Lord level centipede fell down.
Ming takes the card and the centipede corpse, which is all crop fertilizer ah.
After his kill, he continued his search towards the south, disregarding the two people watching and peeking at him in the distance. During the battle just now, he had smelled those two people.
Ming vanished like a flash.
.....
Hecati watched with wide eyes as the man in the distance killed the elite centipede from start to finish, her palms sweating, especially when the man looked at her this way.
Despite the distance, she could feel his cold gaze.
Langley rested his back against a tree. "How come I've never seen this man before? Isn't it a roving bandit?
"I don't believe so; vagrant bandits don't operate alone."
Hecati also leaned over, took a sip of water from her water bottle, and said, "Fortunately, I stopped you just now, or we both would have died for sure."
"Hum, I'm not stupid. Finding a target requires you to have the ability to control it. Come on, let's find the next target," Langley said, looking in the direction of where the man had vanished.
"Are you still planning to find?"
"Since we must live in this era, we must naturally train ourselves to adapt to this era; you should no longer fantasize about finding a mansion in the future and entering as a broad wife; the times have changed, rely on yourself!"
"That man looks good right now; too bad he ran too fast."
"Please don't fantasize; being a cold-blooded robber is more realistic than your irrational fantasy."
...
A tall figure walked among the ruins, cloaked in a black cloak that encircled his entire body, two bags bulging out from beneath it.
He wore a square scarf around his face, revealing only one pair of eyes, and the skin around his eyes was hung with fine sand and dust, which fell into his eyes when he blinked.
He raised his hand, looked at the fine sand covering the back of his hand, gave up the intention of rubbing his eyes, and continued to walk forward.
He noticed a wealthy man in the distance jumping into the sewer...
The ground then shook and cracked, as if a fierce beast had rolled and rushed underground.
As he stood still, the ground trembled again, and several deep craters collapsed.
The ground began to calm down after a while.
He looked around at the scene and thought that this should not be something that a person could do.
Is there a mutant creature down there?
"Then who just jumped down...he can't be dead, can he?"
The tall figure took a quick step forward.
...
Ming noticed a sewer in front of him, picked up a brick, and threw it down; after all morning practice, the technique of throwing stones had improved.
A few moments later, he arrived at the sewer's mouth, quickly retracting his head, dodging several spurts of stinky mud.
"Hey, luckily I dodged quickly."
He jumped into the sewer with a smile.
After three seconds.
The entire ground shook, as if something was about to erupt, and was followed by the sound of metal hitting metal.
Three minutes later, the ground began to vibrate more and more, and there were several depressions in the ground, as well as a strong stench.
After five minutes, the collapsed ground drilled out a man, who was covered in stinky mud but still smiling happily.
Initially thought to be a few earthworms, after jumping down only to discover that it was a nest of earthworms, but they had all been killed by him, even corpses he did not leave.
Ming's hands grasp the ground, his small arms forcefully stretched upward, and as he stretches out his head, he can see a tall figure standing directly in front of him.
A black cloak will be wrapped around the body, revealing only the eyes.
