You can hear the clanging sound of iron before you even arrive.

"Mido, why are you here so late today? Master is not happy." A young man with a bare upper body and exposed tendons said to Li Xi.

Li Xi looked around but didn't see his serious master.

"Where's the master?"

"Master went to repair Lord Nass's armor."

Nass is a down-and-out knight. He was injured in his early years and his strength is not as good as before. His life is very tight. He cannot afford to hire a better blacksmith, so he can only use cheap ones like them. He is considered a high-end customer of the blacksmith shop.

When Li Xi heard that his master was not there, he walked into the blacksmith shop and went straight to a warehouse filled with various iron weapons, farm tools, and some household items.

Li Xi quickly picked out twenty steel needles that were as long as a palm and as thick as chopsticks and packed them with clothes.

These steel needles were used to sew leather armor. Because they were not hard enough, they did not have time to be remelted, so they were put in the warehouse to gather dust.

"Andy, I'm going to go out and do some errands first. You talk to the master."

Andy was about to ask "What are you doing?", but Li Xi turned around and disappeared.

When we arrived at the city gate, there were bustling crowds coming in and out, and there were countless beggars. From time to time, some people fainted and were quickly dragged away by the city guards. As for the outcome, Li Xi said that there would definitely be no good outcome.

As soon as he left the city gate, he saw a young priest sitting behind a table wearing a white sacrificial robe with a wheat ear pattern embroidered on his chest. He looked like he was just an adult, not much older than Li Xi, but his skin was delicate and his complexion was delicate. It's shiny, not like Li Xi, who has dark skin and muddy legs.

The wheat ear is the symbol of the goddess of agriculture. Each god has its own religious emblem. Normal people can identify it through the religious emblem. More professional people can identify the identity of the sacrifice through the religious emblem. The previous owner Mido was a dull person. I don’t know much about these professional knowledge, and I only know a few common ones.

Li Xi directly handed over the mission token. The priest just looked up and knew that this was another F-level rookie who had just joined the industry and was most likely here to do the mission.

Pointing to the endless wheat fields in the distance, "The wheat fields outside the city are owned by the Agricultural God. You can go anywhere, but remember that you have to come back after dark and you are not allowed to trample on the seedlings. There are some working tenants inside, hunting and killing." Just leave the beasts that arrive to them."

"Yes."

Li Xi, such a big shot, can't afford to offend him now. Naturally, he will do whatever he says.

.......

When Li Xi came to the wheat field, two steel needles appeared in his hands. This other world was not like his previous life. It was difficult to encounter a living creature in the wild. The fertility of the beasts here was very high, and they originally needed to be cleaned regularly. Now due to the influence of the abyss breath, the attack power has increased a lot compared to before the chaos.

To put it bluntly, herbivores can eat meat when necessary, and carnivores dare to attack humans directly.

Li Xi carefully felt the movement in the wheat field, and soon heard the sound of 'rustling'.

This is the sound that a reptile can make when it crawls. The lush wheat fields obscure the figure of the beast. Li Xi holds his breath and concentrates, and the steel needle in his hand is ready to go.

'rustle'

The sound got closer and closer, and finally the beast was within five meters of Li Xi, and Li Xi saw the appearance of the beast.

This is a python with a pair of red eyes, a dark body, and as thick as a sea bowl.

Li Xi saw the python. The python raised its head and shot towards it with electricity. Li Xi could clearly see the inverted teeth on the long snake letter.

'Swish'

At this time, half a second at night could kill someone in Shekou. Two steel needles turned into afterimages and flew out of Li Xi's hand.

The python that was moving at high speed was immediately shot in both eyes by Li Xi. The powerful force caused the steel needle to penetrate directly into the python's brain, and even the python's brain was shot through.

But the python ejected with great force. Although it was killed by Li Xi at this moment, its body still hit Li Xi.

Li Xi quickly dodged, and the python's body rubbed against Li Xi's shoulder and hit the ground, causing some dents in the wet ground.

Looking at the white brains flowing out from the steel needles in his eyes and the python mixed with red blood, the hairs on Li Xi's back stood up and goosebumps rose up all over his body. Just now, he was thinking about how to kill this python in the moment of life and death. Now he is starting to feel a little agitated. I'm afraid.

Li Xi's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up for a while. It took him a long time before he managed to stand up tremblingly. He pulled out the steel needle from the dead python but still exuded wildness. He looked at the motionless python and let out a long breath.

Looking up, I quickly discovered the tenants mentioned by the priest at the gate of the city. There were many wooden houses in the center of the wheat field, and the tenants were busy there.

Li Xi grabbed the python's tail and walked towards the wooden house. He came to several tenants and threw the four-meter-long python into the ground. "This is the prey I just caught. Please register it for me." Bar."

Several tenants with skin as dry as tree bark immediately took out a scale and weighed it, "Sir, this snake weighs 85 pounds. According to the task regulations, you can get a quarter of the weight or the same price in money."

Li Xi didn't intend to kill anyone and go back. Naturally, he wanted money, "Give me money."

"This snake is sold in the market for one silver coin, and a quarter of it is 25 copper coins."

The tenant took out a small note from the wooden house and handed it to Li Xi, "Sir, if you take this note and return to the mercenary hall, you can exchange it for 25 copper coins."

Li Xi took the note and put it in his pocket, and asked, "Can the tasks here be repeated?"

The tenant nodded, "Yes, sir. Because the farmland is very large, there are many wild beasts that break in every day, and many of them have taken root in the farmland. We do not have enough manpower, so we will issue tasks in the mercenary union. Many adults Come here every day to do tasks.”

Li Xi nodded thoughtfully and continued walking towards the wheat field.

"Xiaofan, if I hand in tasks every day and receive tasks from the mercenary union, wouldn't I be able to draw rewards from you every day?"

[Master, the same task can only be drawn for the first time. 】

The loophole couldn't be exploited, so Li Xi thought of another question, "Xiaofan, if I go back and hand in the task now, will it have any impact on the lottery if I hunt more prey?"

[Influential, the better the task is completed, the greater the chance of obtaining high rewards. 】

Xiaofan's words stopped Li Xi from going back and handing in the mission right now. Needless to say, the rewards he would get if he went back with his current results would definitely be terrible. Most likely they would be weapons like kunai. If he could save up for a day or a few days before handing in the mission, The reward must be much better.

You can't see the end of this wheat field, and Li Xi doesn't dare to go too far away from Cardo City. If he encounters a monster again, he will definitely die with his current skills.

Just wandering around here, there are no big beasts, but there are many rabbits, gophers and hozens weighing more than ten pounds.

Although these beasts also have attack power, they are completely within the range of Li Xi's ability to deal with them. They are basically a matter of a steel needle.

"whoosh"

"whoosh"

"Whizzing"

The steel needle was flawless, and if it pricked the eye, it would not prick the eyelid. In the afternoon, the note in his arms could be exchanged for a silver coin, which meant that Li Xi had hunted four hundred pounds of prey.

"This kunai throwing technique is really powerful. It is the top technique for throwing hidden weapons."

Li Xi kept turning the steel needles with his fingers, like two small fans, all phantoms.

It was another hour, and Li Xi was really hungry. He didn't expect that the mission would be so long. He had no experience and didn't bring any dry food with him.

"The loan is five gold coins, and the monthly interest is two and a half gold coins. According to the current income of one silver coin a day, it is really not enough."

But Li Xi was not worried at all.

He handed the three rabbits to the tenant, took the note, and said, "Sir, it's getting dark soon. After dark, the priests will use magic, and there will be no wild beasts in the wheat fields. You'd better go back to the city early."

"That's what I thought too. I'll get back to you soon."

Li Xi couldn't walk fast in the wheat field. It was still early anyway, so he walked back slowly.

Just when Li Xi had just walked out less than a hundred meters, his feet suddenly shook. Li Xi staggered and barely managed to stand still. He saw the seedlings in the wheat field shaking, and many small flying animals even fled into the distance as if they were on the run. .

"earthquake?"

This was Li Xi's first thought.

But the next moment this idea was overturned by himself.

Because the wooden house that they just left fell apart in the earthquake, and then a big mouth suddenly opened on the ground. The wooden house, the tenants inside, and the prey were all swallowed up, leaving only a deep pit, or it can be said to be a sinkhole. .

Accompanied by the screams of the tenants, Li Xi ran away. He couldn't save people. With his little arms and legs, he just wanted to add some food to this unknown monster. At most, he could use his ninjutsu in the future. Dacheng, if he encounters this unknown monster again, he will avenge these tenants.

Unfortunately, before Li Xi could run very far, he heard a buzzing sound coming from behind him. The intensity of the sound made Li Xi's scalp numb.

It reminded Li Xi of his home on earth. Every summer, countless mosquitoes would breed on the trees in the yard. When he was half asleep and half awake, hearing the sound of mosquitoes was like countless bombers flying around, just like now. It feels the same.

Li Xi looked back and saw countless monsters with heads as big as flies flying out of the sinkhole where the wooden house was located. Two pairs of wings three times the length of the body grew on the wrinkled skin on the back, with protruding mouths. With its sharp teeth, it goes without saying that it must eat meat.

As soon as these monsters flew out of the ground, they scattered in all directions. From time to time, they picked up gophers from the wheat fields, threw them back into the sinkhole, and then continued to fly to other places. It seemed that they were companion monsters of unknown underground monsters. , specially hunted for food for him.

At the same time, an alarm sounded on the gate of Caddo City.

Thanks to the wars in the years of chaos, everyone was alert enough and could issue an alarm as soon as an abnormality was discovered.

However, Li Xi could not wait for reinforcements from Cardo City, because he was closest to the wooden house and many monsters were already targeting him.

Li Xi touched the steel needles on his body, and there were twenty of them. He could kill twenty of these monsters instantly with his own skills, but twenty monsters were a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of blowouts. A drop in the bucket.

"Xiao Fan, he is about to die. Can you let me withdraw this reward first?"

[Master, I do not have this authority. I must wait for your task to be completed before I can extract it. 】

Li Xi smiled bitterly and took out two steel needles in his hand, "If you don't want to give it, don't give it to me. At worst, I will fight my way out, and maybe I can go back in time if I die."

There was no other way, there was a huge terror between life and death, so Li Xi could only say something casually to encourage himself.

These monsters were so fast that they caught up with Li Xi in just a few breaths.

Sharp teeth an inch long rushed towards Li Xi's body.

'whoosh'

A steel needle hit the monster's head, and the monster fell down without saying a word. Seeing this, Li Xi was somewhat relieved. These monsters were easy to kill.

Li Xi didn't have time to get the steel needle, because the next batch of monsters had already flown in.

The wings flapped like phantoms, and dozens of them rushed toward Li Xi.

Li Xi simply stopped running. Facing the enemy head on, he could hold on for a while longer. If he left the enemy behind, he would be dead or alive.
