Chapter 64 A False Alarm!
Twilight Valley, Twilight District.
In a human haven where residential land is extremely scarce.
Within this area of Twilight Valley City, the only district that receives sunlight, there are numerous luxurious manors of considerable size.
These estates vary in style, containing not only villas, castles, but also palaces.
The park also includes a horse farm, gardens... and even a golf course!
Meanwhile, in a villa on a hillside in a manor in the western part of Mugu District.
A tall man, head bowed, reported to Tan Jingxing behind the desk:
"Young master, according to our investigation, the only survivor at the scene is an 11-year-old girl."
But... she was taken away by the priests of the holy church.
Holy Church?
Upon hearing these three words, Tan Jingxing frowned slightly, put down the book in his hand, and said:
"Were there any other discoveries?"
"No, the deacon's body was completely charred, and the entire scene was burned to the ground..."
The only thing that can be confirmed is that this matter has nothing to do with the Guo family.
At the same time, Zhao Long, the leader of the Blood Fang Gang, Wu Tianye, a cadre, and Zhao Hu, an advisor, were also assassinated and all died!
The Guo family didn't even know that Shi Qiang and Han Tie were leaving the Blood Fang Gang and joining us... Should we ask the Demon Hunter Association for help?
"Need not!"
Tan Jingxing resolutely refused.
He was just a butler; he died, so be it. Why waste money and favors hiring prophets and fortune tellers...
His main concern was whether his involvement in the shantytown redevelopment had been exposed.
Otherwise, why would the plan be ruined so soon after it began...?
"Forget it, let's send someone to contact the other residents in the shantytown again."
After thinking for a moment, Tan Jingxing gave the instructions:
"At the same time, have someone check with the black market and smugglers."
See if anything related appears.
Also keep an eye on the Guo family's movements.
The Bloodfang Gang is now practically defunct; they'd definitely be more eager to uncover the truth...
After giving some instructions, the man left the study to give further instructions.
Tan Jingxing lost interest in reading and walked to the window, looking down at the white buildings surrounded by gardens.
My father is dying.
But his ranking isn't high enough to reach that level.
We have to think of a way!
Tan Jingxing pondered, and suddenly a person came to mind...
-----------------
[You have hunted 55 Iron-Melting Beasts, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]
......
It took Shen Mo and Shi Lan some effort to clean up the Iron-Melting Beast and Steel-Eroding Beast in the hall.
Shen Mo killed four more Steel-Eroding Beasts and thirteen Iron-Melting Beasts.
It also consumed 1 point of physical enhancement and 8 points of combat skill enhancement along the way.
He increased his constitution to 28 points and mastered the Void Slash and Crescent Slash skills.
After all the Steel-Eroding Beasts had died, the last Iron-Melting Beast fled in panic.
Shen Mo rushed past Shi Lan, killing her first!
[You have hunted a total of 320 monsters. Reward: 1 point of Battle Skill Enhancement!]
......
call!
comfortable!
We witnessed the milestone of 320 kills achieved.
Shen Mo sat down on the spot and let out a long sigh.
Bang!
The battle axe landed on the ground with a dull thud, and Shen Mo felt the ground tremble.
"worn out!"
Seeing Shen Mo finish off the last Iron-Melting Beast, Shi Lan threw down her battle axe, plopped down, and took off her helmet, saying:
"If they don't assign us an E-level mission, I'll fight them!"
Shen Mo knew that Shi Lan was referring to the captain.
The mission is to assist the garrison soldiers in clearing out the monsters within the outpost.
But so far in the mission, it's mainly Shen Mo and Shi Lan who have been doing the work...
Nine second-tier magical beasts, plus a hundred first-tier magical creatures, are indeed comparable to an E-rank mission...
After slaying over a hundred monsters, both of them were exhausted.
Shi Lan took out another bottle of stamina-restoring potion and drank it.
Seeing that Shen Mo was just sitting there without taking drugs, Shi Lan finally realized what was going on.
Throughout the entire battle, Shen Mo did not seem to have drunk any potions.
Keep in mind that she's nearing her third physique upgrade, and with the added bonus of her innate abilities, she's already drunk two bottles of magic potions.
Shen Mo has just undergone a transformation and has used many combat techniques in battle, so where does he get such strong stamina?
After thinking for a moment, Shi Lan tentatively asked, "Shen Mo...didn't you bring any potions?"
"I brought it."
Shen Mo had anticipated Shi Lan's suspicions.
He happened to have a question to ask as well, so he replied to Shi Lan:
"After the second ascension, my physical strength and magic power recovered extremely quickly."
I initially thought it was due to a second sublimation and improved physical strength.
It seems I've awakened another talent... Captain, is it possible for one person to awaken multiple talents?
Shi Lan: "..."
I shouldn't have asked!
Hearing that Shen Mo had awakened another talent ability.
Aside from being speechless, Shi Lan could hardly feel any shock or similar emotions anymore.
He replied somewhat listlessly:
"It is possible, but it is relatively rare."
The leader of the Azure Hunters is said to possess two innate abilities.
I've also heard of some Gold-level Witchers, and even Diamond-level Witchers, who have two or more innate abilities.
But... never mind, your talent is the best I've ever seen!
When Shi Lan mentioned talent, she was referring not only to Shen Mo's innate abilities but also to his growth rate.
While the two were chatting, the guards outside the outpost, who hadn't heard any noise for a while, sent someone in again.
Upon hearing the sound of gunfire, Shen Mo immediately shouted:
"Stop firing flares, we've already taken care of all the monsters here!"
Hearing Shen Mo's call, the guards who entered the corridor shone their flashlights.
Carefully navigating the long corridor filled with corpses, we arrived at the main hall.
When they saw the corpse of the steel-corroding beast in the hall, and Shen Mo and the other person resting on the ground, their expressions were full of awe and envy.
After a moment, seeing that Shen Mo and Shi Lan seemed to have rested well, they stood up from the ground.
A guard stepped forward and said:
"Gentlemen, there are several other places that need to be checked."
"We know, let's begin!"
Shi Lan stretched her body and complained to Shen Mo:
"I originally wanted to hitch a ride on this assignment."
I didn't expect the task to be so troublesome.
We need to hurry up with the follow-up tasks!
"Hehe." Shen Mo chuckled softly.
The two then led the garrison soldiers to begin checking other areas one by one.
The Iron-Melting Beasts and Steel-Eroding Beasts were all wiped out in the hall, and we didn't encounter them again afterward.
In the end, the Gold-Eating Beast turned out to be a false alarm.
There are not many ferocious bats left in the outpost.
The most common creatures I encountered were ferocious rats.
Shen Mo switched to a bow and arrow and started shooting as soon as he saw someone.
He often takes care of the monster before the others even notice it.
Shen Mo killed a total of 31 ferocious bats, 22 ferocious rats, and 57 iron-melting beasts and steel-corroding beasts!
He'd killed hundreds of magical beasts, and the enchanted runes on his sword were almost completely worn away...
After scanning all the areas and checking them again, and finding no more monsters, they were satisfied.
Only then is the task considered approved.
When Shen Mo and Shi Lan arrived in front of the captain to receive their mission certificates...
I just learned about the whereabouts of the Gold-Eating Beast from the Captain...
