Ultimate Assassin System

Because he was worried about alerting the enemy, Tang En had not conducted any tests before, so he did not know the details of the guards in the City Lord's Mansion. But observing from various angles from a distance during the day was not in vain. At least Tang En had a preliminary understanding of the general architectural conditions of the mansion and so on.

Easily breaking through the first high wall obstacle, behind was a small open space with basically no obstructions. Fortunately, the greening of the City Lord's Mansion was good. After an instant landing, Tang En silently jumped into the unknown ornamental plants that were half a man tall. Lie down quietly.

Just after hiding for a moment, a group of barbarian patrols carrying iron rods walked past Tang En's eyes. Their mud-stained animal skin boots were very close. You could even smell something bad if you moved your nose lightly. The smell is strange.

Huh... He breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to stand up to observe. As soon as he entered, Tang En confirmed his previous judgment again. This place is definitely not simple!

The City Lord's Mansion was not completely dark at night. In addition to the various buildings, even an inconspicuous garden path had a blazing bonfire burning on the side, illuminating the entire covered area. Of course, it was late night rest time after all, so although there were many barbarian patrols walking around and they were very responsible, they must have received a warning, so they did not make any big noise.

It was quiet, like a dead place. But in Tang En's eyes, this seemingly peaceful place of death was no different from a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!

As mentioned briefly before, if an expert wants to track or target a certain person or a certain area, he does not need to stare with his eyes wide open like ordinary people. Moreover, the vision has blind spots and is unreliable. Masters have keen perceptions that are different from ordinary people, and they only need to release their perceptions. Even with eyes closed. As long as that person or someone walks into the sensing area. can be noticed by them immediately.

For example, in the brief encounter between Tang En and Wooding in Brandu City, Wooding used his perception when tracking the traitor of the secret organization...

Tang En had no perception, or in other words, Tang En preferred to call this perception murderous intent. It is also a subtle feeling of mystery and mystery, but the murderous intention assisted by qi skills makes the prediction of danger clearer and stronger.

Now in Tang En's eyes. This dead quiet city lord's palace is a terrifying death place covered by many dangerous perceptions. In other words, once something abnormal happens somewhere, countless Northern Wilderness masters will inevitably jump out of their hiding places in an instant and join forces to attack.

Realizing this, Tang En took a slight breath, not surprised but happy. He is not afraid that there is danger here, but he is afraid that it is too ordinary. Because plainness means there is no value here, and danger means there is something fishy hidden in it.

After a while, find out the patrol patterns in this area. Tang En moved like a ghost. It was like a shadow, appearing and disappearing in an instant, following the patrolling barbarian soldiers who had just walked over, slowly exploring towards the hinterland of the city lord's palace.

In fact, with Tang En's speed and movement, even if he ran in front of these barbarian soldiers, the latter were unlikely to react and would just treat them as a breeze blowing in front of them.

However, in order not to disturb the many senses to the greatest extent, Tang En chose to restrain his aura, rely on naked eyes to observe and judge, find flaws and loopholes, and slowly advance. Although this is slower, it is safer.

A group of barbarian guards who didn't know they had been sneaked in were still patrolling, crossing, and changing shifts according to the fixed route... It can be seen that the guards here are all elites, and they must have been trained. With the advantage of the sea of ​​people, there are almost no blind spots. And the deeper you go into the hinterland, the more intensive and frequent the patrols become, like a skynet with no gaps visible.

With such a tight and severe guard strength, if it were ordinary assassins and thieves, or the so-called elite assassins and thieves, even if they could sneak into the city lord's palace, they would be unable to escape within a few steps.

The reason is that the City Lord's Mansion is not a noble manor. It is similar to gardens, pastures, statues, etc. There are too few shelters that have no practical effect. In contrast, there were too many barbarian guards here, and after being instructed by an expert, at least two groups of patrols walked through an ordinary trail in just a few minutes, leaving no room for assassins to come in and think about their next move. And if you take one wrong step, you will be forced to go to the knife edge...

However, Tang En didn't feel much urgency when he was sneaking, and he even felt comfortable that 'this is how it should be', like a fish in water...

Of course, this does not mean that Tang En has changed. Well, in fact, changing is a complimentary word for him... He is just very used to walking around in this kind of environment. It feels like a hardcore player finally encounters him. It was a game that tested one's level. Ordinary people couldn't play this kind of game, but he could hold a heaven-defying artifact called 'small-scale perfect control' and crush it with a calm and destructive way. Very quickly There is a potential sense of superior achievement, which is very refreshing...

Of course, it was not without problems. Tang En stopped in front of an arched round door that allowed three people to pass side by side.

There is nothing unusual about this arch. Anyone with some wealth will have one. Generally used as the entrance and exit of the garden, a carved arch at the end of the winding path can add a bit of elegance. Or, it serves as a barrier to distinguish the inner house from the outer house. The servants live outside and the master lives inside. Distinguishing the identity and adding a sense of mystery helps to maintain the majesty of the owner...

Right now, this should be the latter situation. Outside the arch is the office of general administrative officials, and inside are the big shots who represent the highest authority in this town. They rest and work and flirt with female subordinates. It is also the center of the city lord's palace.

There were torches on both sides of the arch, illuminating the carvings on the inner wall and the bluestone floor clearly. There was nothing unusual about it. And just over ten feet away inside the arch, the barbarian patrol that Tang En had been following had just passed through without any problems.

However, Tang En still stopped moving forward, and first looked at the patterns carved on the arch. At first glance, they looked like flowers and plants, but if you look closely at the branches and leaves of those flowers and plants, it looked more like they were composed of independent and mysterious arcs. composed graphics. Looking at the somewhat stiff carving marks, there is no doubt that they were carved recently.

Of course, this is not the point, and Tang En doesn't see the point. I lowered my head and looked at the bluestone floor again. It was three feet cubed, with obvious tread marks and dirt in the gaps. Apparently the slab had been here before. Rather than just putting it on.

Everything appears. No big problem. But Tang En felt a faint sense of danger, like a wild animal looking at a trap with tempting food.

After thinking about it, Tang En did not try to break in. Instead, he ducked out of the area covered by the torch and came to the shadow of the wall on one side. His back was pressed against the wall, as if he had blended in, without any flaws.

soon. A group of barbarian guards patrolled from far to near. Without hesitation, they walked through the arch and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Tang En narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at the bluestone floor thoughtfully, still standing still. A few minutes later, heavy footsteps were heard, and another group of patrolling guards arrived.

Watching the barbarians enter one after another, Tang En finally determined where the anomaly was. These barbarians seemed a little nervous when they passed through the arch. The direction has also been slightly adjusted, all of which are to step on the bluestone floor that is close to the left side of the arch. No one dares to go beyond the scope...

This is undoubtedly abnormal for barbarians with a loose nature.

Seeing this, Tang En moved his fingers slightly and silently knocked a stone off the wall. Then, when the last barbarian stepped in, he curled his fingers lightly and swooshed. The subtle sound of breaking through the air was mixed with the howling cold wind and was almost inaudible.

But the last barbarian guard in the distance suddenly trembled with his thighs supporting the ground, screamed in surprise, and grabbed his hands in vain. His huge body instantly lost his balance and fell to the floor inside the arch. The next moment,

Ah suddenly resounded through the silent sky. The moment the barbarian landed, the pattern on the inner wall of the arch flashed with a black light. Then the carved flowers and plants seemed to come alive, and the branches and leaves grew wildly, like pythons and whips, coming from all directions. It spread over, instantly locking all parts of the barbarian's body, and quickly pulled back...

don't want!

Damn

Bang... the violent sound vibrated back and forth on the inner wall of the arch, strange and dull. And in just a short moment, a big barbarian man as strong as a bear was torn apart by those strange branches and leaves. Large areas of blood, water and minced meat completely exploded, and most of them splashed into the door, knocking out a few people who had not yet walked out. The barbarian in the archway stood stunned on the spot with his face and body covered in water. Some of them were scattered outside, and under the flickering firelight, they were extremely shocking...

Rustling, branches and leaves rolling, as if crying and laughing.

Tearing a living person alive seemed to be unable to satisfy these strange branches and leaves. They intertwined and instantly covered the area in the arch except for the safe bluestone floor like an octopus. They squirmed and sucked in, lying down extremely greedily. Lying on those bloody pieces of flesh, crawling around...

Such a terrifying scene undoubtedly frightened everyone present, and also stunned Tang En in the distance. Who would have thought that such an ordinary archway would hide such a cruel trap?

And this is just a wrong step!

Is this barbarian magic? Tang En thought this way, it is indeed a bit strange...

Tang En's guess was not wrong, but a more accurate statement would be that it was the evil magic of the Savage God Cult! Of course, barbarians generally call it divine magic...

After a few breaths, the bluestone floor was as new as before, the strange branches, leaves and flowers that could no longer absorb any nutrients flashed back into the wall, and everything returned to normal. If it weren't for the trembling barbarians and the blood and flesh scattered outside the arch, no one would know that someone had died here, and the body was eaten by flowers and plants...

After a moment of dead silence, an angry roar sounded, Fuck! What's going on, what's going on! Didn't I say it before, be careful, be careful! Don't step on that damn place...

No...no enemies...

Team, team, captain, he is too nervous...

What are you doing standing there, get out!

…

The huge movement next to the arch undoubtedly broke the silence in an instant and attracted countless attention. Patrolling guards nearby ran over quickly, with heavy footsteps and longing figures. The light of torches in the distance is like stars in the sky, constantly surrounding...

This was just the power of the bright place. At that moment when the barbarians howled miserably, Tang En felt a series of cold sensations, like the cold moonlight, rapidly covering him from all directions, patrolling and exploring.

And in the midst of this chaos, Tang En raised the corner of his mouth, climbed over the arch wall with great ease, and stepped into the center of the city lord's palace.

I didn't read it before because I was worried that the masters inside would notice it. After all, no one knew if apart from releasing their senses, there would be no idle Beihuang masters to monitor openly. It's different now. Whether it's sensing in the dark or monitoring in the open, they are all attracted to the movement in the arch. You won't even notice the faint black shadow climbing over the wall in the distance.

While the chaos there is still going on. After landing, Tang En instantly scanned his surroundings. Without any pause, he jumped out again. Like a ghost, he walked through several buildings in a row, and finally stopped in front of a two-story attic, jumped under the eaves, and hid.

Tang En knew very well that it was not safe here. In fact, there was a roof above his head, separated by a layer of roof tiles. There should be a master from the Northern Wilderness sitting here condescendingly. However, Tang En really had no better choice. He could choose an escape route instantly amid heavy siege, but if he had to judge from among the dozens of conjoined or single buildings in front of him where the mysterious barbarian commander lived, then It takes time to observe.

Without hesitation, Tang En closed his eyes the moment he hid his figure, secretly breathed, peeked... and looked for breath...

Peeping: Thousands of things, nothing to hide!

Wangqi: glimpse into the mountains and rivers and gain insight into all things!

This is among all the system skills Tang En has mastered at this stage. Two skills that are best used for observation. Of course, it is also the most suitable method for the current environment. System skills are different from pure strength. Strictly speaking, it is not a product of this world, nor is it included in any fighting spirit martial arts. Based on this observation, even an expert with extremely keen perception is unlikely to cause a reaction.

The focus of the two is also slightly different. Peeping can reveal all human traces and is suitable for tracking. Wangqi is more mysterious, suitable for observing the terrain of assassination and vaguely judging the opponent's strength and danger.

Opening his eyes, if Tang En looked at people now, he might be able to scare a few timid guys to death. Because his eyes have completely become upright almond-shaped, without any emotion, just like cat eyes. It just failed to shine in the dark environment, and instead became darker and deeper.

Probe, there is no doubt that the first observation target is naturally located in the center of the entire city lord's palace. There is indeed the most magnificent single-family building there, which should undoubtedly be the former city lord's office.

Of course, no matter how grand this building is, in the eyes of Tang En today, it is just a rough model outlined with a few lines, which is very boring.

After looking around, Tang En shook his head with some regret. If it were daytime, maybe the mysterious barbarian commander would have his office there. After all, it was the place where his authority could best be demonstrated in the city. But it was late at night, time for rest, and that was unlikely.

Wang Qi came to the same conclusion. Although there were many barbarians stationed around the place, they seemed to be well prepared for fear of being invaded. But this is actually just a charade, or a trap, because there is no sense of danger there. In other words, there are no masters from the Northern Wilderness sitting there.

Of course, if the mysterious barbarian commander was bold enough to stage an empty city plan and not arrange any expert protection while sleeping, then Tang En would admit it.

He looked away and slowly looked around. After completing the circle, Tang En couldn't help but frown slightly. The other party seemed to know very well that masters had the ability to sense danger, so the masters of the Northern Wilderness who were stationed here were evenly distributed. It was hard to see where to focus on protection, which put an end to Tang En's idea of ​​finding out the position of the mysterious barbarian commander based on the degree of danger. think.

But this was not a problem for Tang En. If his plan failed, he tried again. Tang En turned off his skills in the blink of an eye, decomposed in slow motion, and slowly crawled silently under the eaves. It was only a short distance of less than three feet, but sweat broke out on Tang En's forehead. It took him half a while to reach the bottom of the eaves.

Wiping off the sweat, he first observed the surrounding environment and made sure that no barbarian patrols would pass by here in a short time. Tang En slowly straightened his waist, leaned out, and hung in the air.

The whole person's shape and posture were extremely weird and twisted, hugging the corner of the roof like a koala, reaching up to look at the blurry figure sitting in the shadow above the roof, that is, the Northern Wilderness master.

Masters are humans too, not machines. It's not just that you can follow instructions without any distractions and execute them meticulously.

The status of the mysterious barbarian commander is extremely respected, and security issues cannot be taken lightly. So even if the situation is calm now, Tang En doesn't believe that this master is not worried at all and will not subconsciously look at the protection location... This is absolutely, absolutely, impossible!

This is instinct! Just like a mother who goes out with her child, although she may know that there is no danger in the current environment, when chatting with others, her eyes will still follow the child unconsciously, for fear that something unexpected will happen.

And this seemingly inadvertent detail is Tang En's best opportunity now!

In fact, Tang En made the right bet... Half a moment later, when he saw the barbarian master turning his head to look at the same position for the second time, Tang En knew that he had succeeded.

So, you are still young, and you don’t know how details determine success or failure... Someone who got a bargain and behaved well first shook his head with pretentious regret, then retracted his body and carefully looked at the Beihuang master unconsciously. direction.

With guidance, Tang En quickly determined his goal. It is a seemingly ordinary bungalow building in the southeast corner of the inner house.

Grinning silently, ha, tremble, mortals, any deliberate concealment by you is all nonsense! Because, I am a male monkey with Sharingan...

Well, don't be offended. When an assassin is close to succeeding in an assassination, he will inevitably be in a state of excitement and excitement, and he will inevitably need to relieve himself. The difference is just in the way of disposing of them. Some like to spin daggers, some recheck sleeve arrows and other assassination tools, and some keep licking their lips... As for Tang En, well, he likes all kinds of random thoughts, and the more unreasonable he is, the more he thinks...

Generally speaking, this will not affect the assassin's next actions. For example, Tang En has sneaked down from the eaves, like a giant rat, sneaking towards the target...
