chapter 12 Go to Xingyao Ancient City

Three hundred miles west of Daxuan City, there is a wilderness of black clouds.

Blackstone Town is an oasis town standing in the wilderness. There are less than a thousand households in the town, so the entire town is small. It is surrounded by a wooden fence to guard against attacks by monsters in the wilderness.

As the sun set, a young figure rode into the afterglow of the setting sun and entered the town.

"According to the treasure map, Blackstone Town is less than fifty miles away from Xingyao Ancient City. If we speed up tomorrow, we should be able to reach it."

The young man was Pascal Amos. He learned from many adventurers along the way that there were rumors that there was an ancient city of stars buried deep in the Black Cloud Wilderness. It was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, jade and emeralds. Of course, it was not these that attracted him. , but the swordsmanship secrets and elixirs in Xingyao Ancient City.

Xingyao Ancient City is buried in the wilderness. This is no secret within hundreds of miles. This treasure map was also bought by Pascal Amos in a nearby main city. It is not very accurate and only provides guidance on the general route.

In the Northern Snow Continent, swordsmanship is divided into three levels: heaven, earth, and human. As for the level classification of swords and equipment, it is more complicated. It is divided into three levels: treasure, Taoist, and sacred. However, treasures Generally only sword masters can use them. The ones used by ordinary swordsmen are ordinary and not high-grade.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a sect in Xingyao Ancient City - Xingchen Palace. Later, with the passage of time, it disappeared along with Xingyao Ancient City. Therefore, many people speculate that the remains of Xingchen Palace are It should also be in Xingyao Ancient City, and many magical weapons and elixirs unearthed in recent years have further strengthened the confidence of the adventurers.

Pascal Amos was already feeling a little tired of the boring academic life. His main purpose of coming to Xuanzhou Academy was to avoid the threat of Malik Amos's lineage. Now that his purpose had been achieved, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Anyway, there are still a few months until this year's imperial examination. You can just go and take the exam then. The imperial examination is in the form of poems and songs. He has so much in his mind that he doesn't need to study at Xuanzhou Academy.

"Just rest here today."

Leading the white-maned horse, Pascal Amos walked on the main road of the town.

The environment of this small town is not very good. The roads are made of pitted mud and stone slabs, and there is a dilapidated atmosphere everywhere. Whenever someone rides by, the dust raised will cover the sky and the earth, making it difficult to breathe.

But even if the environment is so bad, the shops on both sides are very lively. Adventurers from far and wide gathered here, and they were noisy. Their purpose was undoubtedly only one, Xingyao Ancient City.

Entering a restaurant, Pascal Amos found a seat by the window and sat down.

In the restaurant, there was a mixture of fish and dragons.

A place like Blackstone Town is beyond the jurisdiction of the Northern Snow Empire. This is a world of adventurers. Whoever has a strong fist has the final say. It is common for people to lose their lives.

Soon, Pascal Amos's appearance attracted the attention of a gaze. The owner of that gaze revealed a trace of bloodthirsty in his eyes.

"This boy is very handsome. Judging from his attire, he is probably a child of some small family. He wants to covet the treasures of Xingyao Ancient City with such little cultivation. He is really desperate."

The speaker was a sturdy man with triangular eyes, staring at Pascal Amos like a poisonous snake. In his opinion, the children of this small family lacked experience and were weak, so they were the easiest to deal with.

"Then should we do it now..."

Next to him, a short and thin man stared at Wilhelm with a fierce look in his eyes and made a killing move.

"hold on."

The big man shook his head and said, "There are many people in the restaurant, and if we start now, I am afraid that many people will be disturbed. To be on the safe side, it is better to wait until this kid leaves town tomorrow before taking action."

This is not the first time he has committed murder and robbery. If he wants to do it, he must do it flawlessly. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will cause them a lot of trouble.

"Boss is wise." The short and thin man said with a flattering smile, looking at the young man at the window with a serious look on his face.

In his eyes, Pascal Amos was already a dead man. So far, among the fat sheep they had targeted, there were many children from aristocratic families, but they had all been sent to the West.

The aura on Pascal Amos's body was not strong, and he was only at the level of a first- and second-level swordsman, so the short and thin man was not worried that their operation would fail.

Pascal Amos in the distance seemed to feel something, and glanced at the position of the big man with triangular eyes, but only stayed for a moment before turning back.

"These two people have evil looks on their faces. They have been spying on me for so long. They probably want to kill someone and seize the treasure."

Pascal Amos is not a rookie, and his manipulation of the wind element has sharpened his perception. Even from such a distance, he can still detect the evil intentions of these two people. However, the strength of these two people is not very high, and they are slightly stronger. The big man with triangular eyes looks like a third-level ranger.

For a magic swordsman who mastered the power of elements, it was not difficult to kill people across ranks, so Pascal Amos was just a little wary and did not panic too much.

After resting for a night, Wilhelm set out according to the original plan the next day.

Outside Blackstone Town is an endless wilderness, and there will be no human habitation within hundreds of miles. Therefore, passers-by must bring sufficient food and fresh water to hope to pass through this vast wilderness.

On the road not far from Blackstone Town, Pascal Amos slowed down slightly. His eyes looked into the distance.

"It's time to come."

Not long after he finished speaking, a dozen black spots quickly appeared where Pascal Amos was looking, and they enlarged at a speed visible to the naked eye. The person leading them was none other than the big man with triangular eyes from yesterday.

"Haha, kid, you are smart enough to know that there are too many of us to outrun you. Put down your weapons and hand over all valuable things. I will spare your life!"

Accompanied by several horse neighs, the big man with triangular eyes was already less than a hundred meters away from Pascal Amos and roared.

When more than a dozen robbers arrived, Pascal Amos said calmly: "Run? Why should I run? Is there any reason why I should not accept the wealth that comes to my door?"

"wealth?"

The big man with triangular eyes was stunned at first, and it took him a while to realize what he was doing. Then he burst out laughing, his face full of mockery.

"I think you don't know how to write the word "death". Come on! Skin this kid alive!"

At the command, a dozen robbers swarmed towards the young man.

"Stupid."Pascal Amos sneered in his heart.

But just as he was about to draw his sword, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly came from behind him.

"Who?!" The face of the big man with triangular eyes changed.

Following the sound, a young man in blue clothes came into view on a black horse. The young man had an extremely delicate appearance, red lips and white teeth. If his voice wasn't a little rough, Pascal Amos would have mistaken this person for a woman.

"Are you the Ghost Hand Bexen from Black Rock Town?" the boy in blue asked proudly.

"So what?" The big man with triangular eyes licked his scarlet tongue.

"A month ago, my cousin disappeared in Huangshi Town. I heard that he was poisoned by you, right?"

Hearing this, Bexen couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, dozens of people die in my hands every day. How do I know if your cousin is among them?"

"Then prepare to die. Either you kill yourself or I kill you myself. Choose one of the two paths."

Hearing these words, Bexen couldn't help laughing, "A little kid dares to speak arrogant words. You underestimate me, Bexen. That's right! I was the one who killed your cousin. You should be from the Hardy Family in Yuxi County." My son, it’s a pity that you will die here today.”

Bexen killed many people in his life and was often hunted down by some families, but he still survived. He had been working on this road for more than ten years. The children of passing families undoubtedly became their biggest targets and were often killed to steal treasures, so Bexen became the wanted target of many small families.

The boy in blue flew off his horse and pulled out the sword from the sheath, "Then I have no choice but to kill your dog myself. Remember, my name is Duvall Hardy."

Seeing this, Bexen eyes rolled quickly, and immediately he stared at Duvall Hardy's back. His face suddenly changed and he said, "Boy, what are you doing?"

Duvall Hardy expression changed and he turned around quickly to look.

"Oops."Pascal Amos eyes narrowed.

"Stupid boy, you're still a little too young to fight with me."Bexen laughed proudly, raising his thick right hand with a black light flashing on it, and struck Duvall Hardy with a palm, who turned his head.

"rat!"

Duvall Hardy reacted immediately and became furious. However, he had missed the opportunity and could only move forward with his left hand.

Bang!

After a palm strike, huge waves of air swept away in all directions, knocking back more than a dozen bandits around him.

Duvall Hardy, on the other hand, was caught off guard and was blown away, hitting the ground behind him hard, creating a large human-shaped crater.

"Haha, die!"

Bexen flew over quickly, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe, and wanted to kill him in one fell swoop.

"Tiger punch!"

There was a faint sound of a tiger's roar in the black fist power, and it blasted towards Duvall Hardy with unparalleled power, making his whole body's energy and blood stagnant, and his expression was sluggish.

At the critical moment, Duvall Hardy poured his true energy into the long sword in his hand and blocked it in front of his chest.

boom!

Spurting out a mouthful of blood, Duvall Hardy flew backwards.
