Returning from the abyss

Chapter 583
It's not a particularly difficult decision.

The three children each have their own characteristics, and perhaps their strength needs to be weighed a little bit, but in terms of heart and mind, the three together are no match for Yuan Jie, the most honest among them.After discussing in low voices, everyone reached a consensus. The task must be unfolded, and it must start with understanding the world.

Dorian and Bingham were naturally very excited by the news. Alex was always the one who kept calm, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was delighted that someone new was willing to join.

They are not very good at hiding their emotions, at least it shows that the outside world is still cannibalism on the surface.

Before leaving, Dorian picked up the things that fell from the monster called "The Butcher", two metal pieces, a black crystal and a dagger.

And after coming outside again, everyone found that the outside world has changed a lot. You can see black shadows wandering on the wasteland. Although the distance is far away, all kinds of strange appearances make people have a bad association. .In contrast, the three young people felt it was normal.

"When we first came here, we couldn't even see a ghost in the wasteland." Yuan Jie said.

"It's unlucky for you, you just woke up and encountered a gloomy mist." Dorian has recovered her mood, waved her hand and said, "When the mist appeared, everyone hid, and it's fortunate that you ran indoors in the end, otherwise We must have been torn to pieces by the brats when we saw you."

"You mean... those one-meter little guys?" Zhu Qinyuan asked.

"Yes, they will emerge from the mist. They are the curse of the people who died in this wasteland. They have no life and death, and they will continue to emerge from the blind corner of sight. Even very good black carvings are easy to be swarmed And the little ghost above is dismembered." Dorian said as she walked, wagging her fingers, "so when the fog comes, everyone will hide in a closed and open environment, and the little ghost will not pass through the doors and windows in the fog, so it is safe. "

"Then what about that monster before? It also seemed to appear suddenly in the mist." Yuan Jie asked again.

"That's the butcher. They are the reason we were sent to this wasteland. Only Heike can temporarily kill the butcher."

Dorian seemed a lot calmer when explaining this, obviously it was an area she was familiar with.

"Butcher", this is a kind of thing that people in the outer city don't know the origin of. They have strange shapes that are similar to humans but different. Once they appear, they will massacre the surrounding humans, and even make various things out of human materials. And people can't kill them.

Whether it is fire, flooding, knife cutting, shooting... all kinds of methods have been tried, and people can't cause any real damage to the butchers. They can recover quickly and continue to slaughter in various ways.And finally one day, an unremarkable young man hacked a butcher who looked like a child with a knife. The butcher did not regenerate, but a black substance gushed out from the wound.

The strength of the butcher is different, and after losing the advantage of immortality, the youth seized the opportunity to chop the butcher into black smoke.

He became a hero.

The people in the outer city were ecstatic to let the young people lead them to continue to attack the next butcher. People restrained the butcher's attack and let the young people kill the butcher himself. This method was very useful. Soon, the rest of the outer city people also began Help... At this moment, the second person who can kill the butcher appeared.

This should have been a good thing.

However, within a few days, killing became a kind of comparison instead. The young man and another person began to compete for who could kill the most powerful butcher, but the young man was just an ordinary person, and the other party had received some martial arts training.Finally, in a desperate attempt, the young man met a butcher with extraordinary strength, and was disembowelled by the opponent.

He was thrown from the city wall by the butcher, and all his men were killed.However, when his opponent came to collect his body, he found that the young man was not dead... His flesh and blood began to return to its original position, and his body began to recover.

[Can kill undead monsters only because they also need immortality. 】

The nobles finally made this judgment, and people always followed the will of the nobles.

[They have black patterns on their arms, which is their symbol.They long for the immortality of the butcher, and the butcher longs for flesh and blood. They are mortal enemies. Let them conquer each other, and we provide swords. 】

Those who can kill the butcher are given the title of "Hei Ke".

[Hei Ke is a hero, but fighting will always result in casualties of ordinary people. They must live in the wilderness outside the city, and the butchers will follow their scent. As long as there is a Hei Ke, the people will lose one point fear. 】

They began to leave the city and go to the vast wilderness.And as the nobleman said, the butcher never appeared in the city again after that.After that, the birth rate of Hei Ke became faster and more, and some people couldn't bear to leave like this and tried to go back.

[Cut off their way back, we will provide the necessary supplies for the heroes, but they cannot bring terror back to the people. 】

After that, the young Heikes lost their memory, and they would fight to the death in the wasteland.

"Wait, since you said that, aren't we immortal?" Yuan Jie quickly discovered the problem.

"The butcher will also be temporarily killed, so there is no real immortality at all." Dorian shook her head, "You must also pay attention! We take the butcher's immortality to maintain our own immortality, but if many people are killed If it is repeated once, the engraving on the arm will turn red, and if we are killed at that time, we will die like ordinary people! This number of times varies from person to person, and we cannot be sure!"

Lu Ning, Yan Rong, and Rang looked at each other with more cautious eyes.

The distribution center has been so generous this time that it directly distributes an immortal body to tourists?Even if it is conditional... It can be said that the scene that can give tourists several lives is extremely rare.

On the wilderness, there are many bonfires, but there are only a few campsites.

Standing Wind Campfire is just one of many small groups like this. The name is just because they chose a low cliff with a difference in height as a shelter. At least the wind blowing on the wasteland will not invade this place all day long.

When everyone saw the fire, Bingham rushed towards the bonfire shaking his hands, and uttered a few unknown shouts.Along the way, Alex and Dorian still had some things that they didn't specify. Although they lacked experience in dealing with people, the two would not really tell all the things related to their own family.

When approaching, a dozen people sitting around the campfire had already stood up.

As everyone expected, there was no warm welcome. These people were all older than the three of them, and their eyes were mostly curious, inquiring or even indifferent, but few of them showed joy.The clothes on them were a little tattered, and soup was being boiled in a large pot on the campfire. Some tubers and other things were floating in it, but there was not much smell coming out.

"A new black engraving has been discovered, Bingham said."

A man standing in front spoke. He was about 40 to [-] years old, with a strong build, two large knives on his back, a straw hat on his head, and sharp eyes. He was obviously a battle-hardened man. .

"Hello, my name is Jean Stuart." Jean still acted as the negotiator.

"Yes, remember your name, that's all we have left." The man nodded, "My name is Cai Shen, and I'm the leader of this bonfire. We do lack combat members, but we won't directly accept people from unknown sources. people."

"Uncle Cai, they really didn't have the slightest defense against the bleak mist..." Alex said.

"They didn't get hurt either, did they? So it's not out of the question to set this up on purpose."

"Ah, maybe you don't trust us, but from what I mean, there is still intrigue between Hei Ke?" Jean didn't care about Cai Shen's attitude, and continued, "If something like this happened before, then why not? It's understandable to be wary."

"The same goes for yourselves. I can see that the clothes on you are very valuable, so the people who prepared them for you must be very concerned about your combat effectiveness. If it is not a close relative, it is a rich and wealthy family. But this is good The equipment will inevitably attract predators." Cai Shen laughed lowly, "We can let you join the bonfire, but we also need you to prove your sincerity, understand?"

"Uncle Cai!" Dorian squeezed the corners of her eyes anxiously, "Talk better...in case we drive them away..."

"May I ask a question?" Zhu Qinyuan said, "The Heikes were sent to the wilderness to deal with the butcher. Dorian has already proved this point, so why are there people who cannot fight? "

Her eyes swept over the people behind Cai Shen. These people were obviously non-combat, but there were not many scars on their bodies.

"It's very simple, not everyone can deal with a butcher." Cai Shen glanced at Zhu Qinyuan, "You have been trained for a long time, and you should know that there are still ordinary people in the world. The birth of Heike is very random. Those who are not good at fighting are just sent to the butchers to die when those who are not good at fighting are sent to the wasteland without discrimination."

"Understood, so what sincerity do you need?" Jean continued to ask.

"The target is of course the butcher." Cai Shen said, "I can let you rest here temporarily to recover your strength, but you have to go to the nearby Lengfeng Cave and kill the butcher who has just been revived by the bleak mist. Going back to its core is proof of joining. With your equipment and some thinking, it should not be difficult to kill the butcher there."

"Thank you." Jean stretched out his hand with a smile, but Cai Shen didn't shake his hand and just turned around.

"You can get a cup of soup, and when you're ready to go, Alex will show you the way to the entrance of the cave. Please don't come into contact with the rest of us until you have our approval. Keep your distance. It's good for us all." Good decision."

"Okay." Jean didn't care about the other party's rudeness, just turned around and exchanged glances with everyone, and then found a stone slab at the edge, and everyone sat down in this position away from the bonfire.

A short time later, Dorian and Bingham came up with six cups to distribute among them.

"Sorry, since Uncle Cai thinks you need to be tested, we think so too. But Lengfeng Cave is the place we often clean up. The butcher there is average, so you can kill it if you are careful."

"Is the butcher resurrected the same everywhere?"

"Uh...it won't be the same, so we can't provide any advice. Too much interference information will affect your battle. But the strength will not fluctuate too much, that butcher is not strong." Dorian said with a smile Said, "This soup helps to replenish energy, although the taste is not very good..."

"Well, Uncle Cai doesn't want us to talk too much, so please do your best." Bingham scratched his head, "We really hope that a few more people will join in."

"Thank you." Yan Rong nodded, "We can definitely kill that butcher, don't worry."

The two left quickly, while the six began to discuss in low voices.

"This bonfire is indeed not very strong, but it's just a small problem." Zhu Qinyuan was the first to speak, "Undead monsters, butchers, according to our current strength, it is a little difficult to fight one-on-one, but there are still many people. Easier."

"Well... the scene itself is weird." Jean stroked his beard, "Where do I start?"

"Let's talk about what's in front of us first, our identities, Hei Ke. I'm rather surprised why they accepted this result so easily? Since they all know that they were driven out of the city to deal with monsters like butchers." Yuan Jie said with a look on his face. Puzzled, "Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely resist if I knew I was being treated like this."

"Two possibilities." Yan Rong took a sip of soup, "The first is that the chaotic scene itself is such a setting, constrained by things like fate, but such a situation rarely happens, after all, most of the chaotic scenes still follow the general logic let's go."

"What's the second possibility?" Zhu Qinyuan asked.

"Simple, butchers can't die, and people can't kill butchers. Heike can kill butchers and gain their immortality. But no one said that Heike can't be killed by people, right?"

"They can't resist?" Yuan Jie said in surprise, "The strength of those children alone is very strong."

Lu Ning shook her head: "They have a good evaluation of the clothes on us, and they approve of our reaching out. In other words, the clothes specially provided to us by the distribution center are only within the normal equipment range of Xinsheng Heike in their eyes. It was provided by the people in the city. They cannot kill the butcher, this is a hard condition, but their strength is not necessarily weak."

"Well, I think so too." Jean nodded, "After all, from another perspective, we know so many background stories, but none of our tasks can be done."

"Uh... so what?" Yuan Jie hadn't reacted yet.

"It shows that compared with our main storyline, things like the fate and resistance of the black engravers are not worth mentioning at all, but in fact, in general scenes, these things alone are enough to form a mainline task chain." Wish Qinyuan said.
