Chapter 42: Encounter

Three days passed in this way.

Xiao Shi ignored the bounty hunter.

He let him hang around his bait and didn’t catch him.

Xiao Shi was not anxious, but the bounty hunter was a little anxious.

He thought that after he came to Jinyun City, this unnamed night watchman would definitely attack him like he killed the two bounty hunters before.

As a result, after coming for so long, everything was calm and there was no trace of him.

“Could it be that he saw through our plan?”

Luo Fangyi frowned.

But he thought it was impossible.

Except for the bounty hunters in the organization, no one else knew their plan.

The other party couldn’t know.

But it was strange that they didn’t take action.

After thinking about it.

Luo Fangyi couldn’t figure out the reason.

Even last night, in order to lure out this mysterious night watchman, he pretended to be about to attack Cen Qingci.

But even so.

The other party still did not show up.

This gave Luo Fangyi a headache.

It was not that he had not thought about killing Cen Qingci directly to force the other party to show up.

But if he did that.

Then he could not stay in Jinyun City.

Although there were cases where bounty hunters successfully assassinated people in Jinyun City and escaped unscathed, they also withdrew from Jinyun City immediately.

It was impossible to kill people here and continue to stay in the city.

Therefore, killing Cen Qingci to force the other party to show up would not work.

He could only pretend to be ready to do it.

If this mysterious night watchman attacked their bounty hunters because he was worried about Cen Qingci’s safety, he would definitely show up at this time.

However, the facts proved that…

The other party did not care about Cen Qingci’s life or death.

This left Luo Fangyi with no choice.

He could only stay in Jinyun City and wait for the other party to take action.

…

Xiao Shi took out his identity token.

He checked his current contribution points.

A total of 1,460 contribution points.

After ten days of patrolling, he gained 560 contribution points.

This number of contribution points is not much.

This made Xiao Shi reluctant to exchange for Night Frost Dew.

After all, a bottle of Night Frost Dew requires 300 contribution points.

With the contribution points he currently has, he can’t afford such a large consumption.

He still has to accumulate 20,000 contribution points to be promoted to an inner disciple.

Although there is no Night Frost Dew to assist in cultivation.

But Xiao Shi still spent ten days to successfully cultivate Night Tiger to the fourth level.

This is because sometimes he has to patrol at night and can’t practice all night.

Otherwise, with his talent, he has a chance to impact the fifth level of Night Tiger.

Now with the end of the ten-day mission period, the next round of missions will also begin.

Xiao Shi and other night watchmen of Team Ding gathered together, waiting for the captain of Team Ding to come and issue the mission.

Soon.

After all the night watchmen of Team Ding arrived.

Squinting eyes appeared.

As usual, he distributed tasks to everyone’s tokens through tokens.

Then he let it go and let these night watchmen exchange tasks freely.

Xiao Shi looked at the task in the token in his hand.

Task: Kill wanted criminal Wei Zhen

Task difficulty: Level 4

Task information: Wanted criminal Wei Zhen killed a night watchman who entered the fourth level of martial arts half a month ago, and is hereby wanted. Wei Zhen, male, age 40-50, cultivation level is the fifth level of martial arts, currently in Baimu Town, please go there as soon as possible to kill him.

Task time limit: ten days.

…

This task is a bit too simple for Xiao Shi.

But he doesn’t mind.

He doesn’t plan to exchange with others.

After all, with his apparent strength of entering the fifth level of martial arts, if he exchanges more difficult tasks with other night watchmen, it will inevitably attract unnecessary attention.

“Although the task is a little simple, it has its advantages. It doesn’t take too much time, and there is no need to worry about any danger. If you complete it early, you will have plenty of time to practice.”

After receiving the task that day, Xiao Shi quickly set out from Jinyun City.

He planned to complete the task in one day.

In this way, the remaining nine days can all be used for practice.

Although the previous task of patrolling Jinyun City was also very easy.

But there was not much time for practice.

Most of the time was spent patrolling around the city.

As a result, his practice progress was a little slow, and now this task can make up for it.

After leaving Jinyun City.

Xiao Shi rushed all the way to Baimu Town.

Baimu Town is not too far from Jinyun City.

This town is run by the Yinlin Gang.

On weekdays, most of the people who go to Baimu Town are nearby casual cultivators, as well as some people from other gangs, bandits and other forces.

They basically regard this town as a small market.

They often buy and trade items here.

Some people would hire people to perform tasks here.

Compared with Jinyun City, in addition to not having to pay residence fees, there is also no rule that you cannot kill in the town.

Therefore, in Baimu Town, there are often murders and looting.

The law of the jungle here is more naked, showing the bloodiness and cruelty of the troubled times.

When Xiao Shi arrived at Baimu Town, it was already evening.

The town at dusk exuded a completely different atmosphere from Jinyun City.

Chaotic, dirty, bloody, and brutal!

There were many corpses piled up outside the town, most of which had rotted and stank.

You can see some wild dogs lying on the corpses and eating.

People who come in and out of the town are all cold and cruel.

They are all stained with blood.

As soon as Xiao Shi entered the town, he witnessed a killing.

The victim was not only pierced through the chest by a black knife, but the knife-wielding man also chopped him up with a grim smile after killing him.

The people around him had no expression on this scene.

It seemed that they had already seen it.

“Is this the troubled times…”

Xiao Shi suppressed his discomfort.

He did not stay here for too long and walked away.

The buildings in the whole town were mostly gray and black, full of dilapidation, and the ground was full of various garbage, and some broken hands and feet could be seen from time to time.

Most people in the town were very vigilant and strongly repelled each other.

Occasionally, some children could be seen, and there was no innocence in their eyes, only dead air and indifference.

Xiao Shi suddenly understood why Jinyun City had to pay expensive living fees every day, but there were still a large number of people who wanted to stay there every day.

Compared with this kind of place…

Jinyun City is simply a holy place.

Xiao Shi did not want to stay in such a dirty and bloody place for too long, and quickly started searching.

The whole town is not big, but it is not small either. It takes some time to find someone here.

After a search.

Although Xiao Shi did not find the target person, he met a familiar person.

Dressed in white, petite, with full curves on the chest, fair and delicate skin, and long black hair twisted into a strand, forming a disk on the head.

It is…

Cen Qingci!

“Why is she here!”

Xiao Shi was surprised.

At the same time, when he saw Cen Qingci, Cen Qingci also looked at him.

“My junior brother, are you here to perform the mission?”
