Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Sina City, Slum Eight.

This is a settlement hidden in a run-down alley on the edge of Sina City.

Many homeless people, refugees and criminals live here, a shadow that cannot be dispelled in the city.

And this is only one of a dozen slums in Sina City. Under the appearance of "prosperity", "extreme poverty" will slowly breed.

…

At this time, Luo Xiu was walking on the dilapidated paths of the Eighth Slum.

After he came out of the hotel, it took him nearly an hour to get here.

It's not that the slum is far away from the city, but that it is too remote - he must first cross the entire main road to reach the outer alley, and then turn around a dozen deep alleys...

When Luo Xiu actually arrived at the eighth slum, the rotten and pungent smell hit his face.

The air of the entire slum was filled with a fishy smell, as if there were piles of rotting meat on both sides of the road.

Looking up, you can see a starved corpse every short distance.

On these corpses, swarms of maggots are squirming and countless rot flies are hovering.

…

midnight.

Even if the so-called "houses" in the slums cannot withstand the cold at all, those "residents" will still choose to hide in their houses and shiver through one cold season after another.

As for those "wanderers" and "scavengers" who couldn't even hope to have a wall to protect themselves from the wind, they hugged a roll of shabby bedding, found a roof that could shelter from the rain, and spent the night numbly. One night.

Luo Xiu just walked past many "wanderers" and "scavengers" and felt countless indifferent and vigilant eyes.

Luo Xiu was also observing them.

He has maintained the "detection" frequency, and the feedback from the panel shows that these people are civilians and have not embarked on any extraordinary destiny... They are really just ordinary people.

Luo Xiu observed carefully and continued to go deeper under the watchful eyes.

…

The reason why Luo Xiu chose to come to the "Eighth Slum" is because the "Blood of Thorns" is scattered in strongholds throughout Sina City, and he is most familiar with the distribution of strongholds here.

——Because in his previous life, he personally led a team to sweep away the cultist stronghold here, as he was destined to be in a high position in [Glory].

According to Luo Xiu's memory, there are dozens of "blood slaves" in this stronghold, a dozen "blood disciples" with "second destiny", and six or seven "body destroyers" with "third destiny".

The person in charge of this slum stronghold is a "Shadow of Murder" who has reached the fourth level of [Red Lotus].

This is also the Blood of Thorns, one of the highest combat powers in Sina City.

There is a qualitative gap with the opponent's highest combat power, so Luo Xiu does not intend to overturn their entire stronghold in one night.

You know, for Luo Xiu now, the cultists of "Blood of Thorns" are like leeks in the pool of experience, which need to be cut one after another.

And the "Eighth Slum" cultist stronghold that Luo Xiu chose to clear away.

This is just one of the many "sentinel points" of the Blood of Thorns throughout the slums.

This is a characteristic of the Blood of Thorns. They do not gather in a group, but are spread out in the form of various "sentinels" and are connected with each other to form an intricate intelligence network.

And in the sentinel point of "Slum 8", the "Shadow of Murder" is not here either.

The strongest leader here is a "body destroyer" with the third destiny of [Red Lotus]!

Killing this "body destroyer" is the purpose of Luo Xiu's trip.

…

When the smell of blood suddenly became thick in the air.

Luo Xiu stopped and disappeared behind a dangerous wall.

He could sense the violent and raging spiritual surge emanating from the other side of this dangerous wall.

The air also emitted a smell that was several times more stinky than a rotting corpse.

The cyan moonlight was blocked by the broken eaves, making it difficult for Luo Xiu to see the environment further away.

However, this creepy feeling impressed Luo Xiu deeply.

"——Spiritual Vision."

Luo Xiu immediately activated the "Spiritual Vision" technique.

He then saw that in the originally pitch-black field of vision, there were countless spiritual threads as scarlet as blood floating like a tidal wave.

Luo Xiu has been able to roughly confirm that this is the entrance to the Blood of Thorns sentry point in the "Eighth Slums".

…

Luo Xiu checked himself one last time and chanted the "Consecration Prayer" and "Consecration Blessing" in advance.

Later, Luo Xiu summoned Fenrir from the ruins.

"...Ouch."

Fenrir slowly emerged from the shadow and let out a low hiss.

——Just like a social worker who was suddenly called to work overtime by his boss while he was happily working.

"Be good, Fenrir, be good..."

Luo Xiu knelt down and gently touched Fenrir's back.

"..."

After appeasing Fenrir, Fenrir disappeared into Luo Xiu's shadow.

Luo Xiu then stood up and walked into the dark shadows of the deep alley.

…

When Luo Xiu passed through a layer of faint red blood mist.

The surrounding environment seemed to tremble slightly at a certain moment.

In the "spiritual vision" state, Luo Xiu saw the "spiritual" figures standing on both sides not far ahead.

In the pitch-black environment and blood-scarlet fog, the "spirituality" filled in these two figures is dim gray.

This is the characteristic of an enlightened person who has come into contact with the "spiritual sea" but has not truly stepped into the extraordinary "first life path".

——They were two blood slaves of the first level of [Red Lotus], guarding the entrance of this sentry post.

Luo Xiu then walked slowly while confirming the attack distance.

…

When he entered the flashing range of "Hunting Step", Luo Xiu's figure suddenly disappeared in an instant!

The next moment, Luo Xiu had appeared in the center of the two "blood slaves".

Due to the effect of "Hunting Step", a strong fear suddenly rose in the hearts of the two blood slaves.

And this hesitation in his mentality made Luo Xiu draw a short-bladed dagger from his sleeve and smear it on the neck of a blood disciple.

The dagger he used had been "engraved" before he set out, and its power had reached the level of extraordinary weapons.

This dagger sealed the throat and killed the blood slave instantly.

Blood gushed out from the wound on the blood slave's neck, and his body gradually softened, twitching for a while and then there was no movement.

…

After completing the first kill, the blood slave on the other side noticed something was wrong. He just came back to his senses from the "fear" state and subconsciously wanted to escape deeper.

However, as soon as he turned around, his eyes met with a red wolf bathed in fire.

Fenrir leaped up like a shadow and quickly bit the blood slave's neck. The wolf's fangs bit into the blood slave's neck muscles. The hot flames burned the blood slave's skin, making the blood slave's escape movement stop.

Then, he felt a chill on his back.

A dagger flashing with deep black light completely pierced his chest, and blood splattered.

There are two more chapters at nine o'clock in the evening! Waiting for the nest
