Chapter 159 - 0159: Sneak Attack (Plus 3600, fifth update request subscription!)



“Master Zoren, could you tell me why Gered massacred the Gaosuo tribe?” Su Lu thought for a moment before asking Zoren this question.

This guy had a good reputation, he got along well with his own apprentice, and also seemed to appreciate Su Lu. So, temporarily, we could consider him a friend.

“It’s probably because of a treasure map!”

As second on the bounty list, being a wanted criminal of the Federation only surpassed by Gered, and a Master-level Occupational Person, Zoren has some Imowledge regarding this question: “Legend… the ancestors of the Gaosuo people left a treasure on their land that holds the secret to the Gaosuo people’s resurgence. Of course… many people think this is only a legend, but Gered takes this very seriously and firmly believes it.”

“I see!”

Su Lu looked towards the canyon: “I should go back now, I hope you succeed, Master.”

He managed to suppress his desire in the end.

Eliminating Gered’s gang on the outskirts is within his abilities, but getting involved in battles with tier three or even tier four Occupational people was going beyond his abilities.

No matter whether he went there in his spiritual or physical form, if he was hit once, it could be the end for him.

Unless he immediately advances to [Odd Technician]! But this was his trump card, not planned to be revealed now.

“A wise choice!”

Zoren smiled, appreciating this decision.

If Su Lu really went in with him, that would mean that he had been blinded by interest and tasted death just about then.

“Alright… if I don’t return, after three days, at the Langele Bar in the black market, tell Geli… let her go to the old place, I have left my legacy there!”

Zoren said seriously, he then mounted his horse and headed towards the canyon camp.

“Is this… his last words?”

The corner of Su Lu’s mouth twitched.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next moment after Zoren’s figure charged into the canyon, the ground trembled and the valley shuddered slightly.

It seems even the earth couldn’t withstand the impact of a tier four Occupational Person’s strike!

“Giddy up!’

From the entrance of the canyon, more than a dozen bandits fled frantically, without looking back.

It’s clear that they were scared by the Evil Spirit Knight, but they were suppressed by Gered’s power and couldn’t escape.

Once they found an opportunity, they chose to flee immediately

Gered’s gang is simply a group formed by a bunch of desperados, with an extremely low cohesion.

“This is… an opportunity!”

Su Lu’s eyes spun, he chose a direction and chased after them.

This time, he didn’t turn them into experience, instead he chose to capture them alive.

The speed of the spiritual body is very fast, and he also had the Spirit Chain, which immediately caught several unlucky eggs and threw them aside.

“What a… harvest!”

Su Lu looked at the three fierce bandits in front of him.

Among them, one was an Occupational person, while the other two were the elite among ordinary people. They were wrapped in resentment, almost solidified.

At a glance, they are the kind who have killed many people.

“Given their conditions, they must have been cursed!”

Su Lu chuckled, knocked all of them out with the Spirit Chain, especially the Occupational person whose hands and feet were broken, then he returned to his physical body and came over to drag away these three people.

These were important trophies. He had some plans that needed them to fulfill. “However… taking the soul out of the body in such a place is risky!”

Su Lu’s body leapt out of the yellow sand: “If I’m discovered by a passing bandit, I’ll be screwed.”

He looked at the direction, came to the three robbers who were knocked out, and there were three horses next to them.

“I can take them away with me… Huh?”

At this moment, Su Lu’s Inspiration rang with an intense warning.

Behind him, a silhouette emerged, seemingly weaving in and out of shadows. A dagger was thrust towards his back.

Clang!

The dagger was deflected by the Spirit Chain, but with unrelenting force, it plunged into Su Lu’s left shoulder.

Splat!

Blood sprayed everywhere!

“An assassin! And a high-ranking one, able to conceal themselves in shadows?”

Su Lu quickly adjusted his footing, tapping into the full speed of the [Wanderer] and fled from the attacker’s range.

Simultaneously, he clutched the gun in his right hand, aiming at the attacker and fired away.

Bang Bang!

Much to his surprise, several splashes of blood burst from the attacker’s body.

The person didn’t manage to dodge, revealing a figure of a short, thin man whose right arm had already vanished.

At this moment, he held the dagger in his remaining left hand, drenched in blood at one end: “If only my right hand was still here…”

“The assassin Ali?”

Su Lu was very surprised: “It’s you?”

He aimed the gun at Ali’s forehead without hesitation and fired rapidly three times.

Bang Bang Bang!

Following the gunshots, the other person’s head burst open like a watermelon.

Boom!

Ali’s body fell to the ground while Su Lu’s face turned pale. He hastily tore at his clothes, bandaging the wound on his left shoulder.

Luckily, he was prepared. He took out a hemostatic agent he had previously prepared and uncertainly drank an antidote he carried along.

He then looked at Ali’s body with fear: “If he wasn’t using a dagger…if his right hand was still there…”.

Maybe he wanted to defect, or was under Gered’s orders – who knows?

As for Ali’s right arm, it did not seem to be torn apart by evil spirits, it was more likely Zoren’s doing.

“Taking advantage of the weak defense of the camp, Zoren successfully raided Gered’s gang and even severely injured Gered’s right-hand man?”

Su Lu felt as if he understood something, “After Ali left the canyon, he saw the three bandits taken down, so he hid on the side… he almost succeeded!”

If not for his alertness, constantly activating his inspiration to observe, coupled with some fortune, he would probably be dead by now!

“I’ve been having quite bad luck recently… There were several times when I almost died… Could it be because I offended the goddess of misfortune…” Su Lu shivered, suddenly thought of Beryl and the Black Death Society.

If nothing goes wrong, the profession [Doomsayer] may eventually venture into the ‘misfortune’ realm. Could this be under the control of Lady Moon?

“Making my luck go bad inexplicably? Can’t be, right? If that was possible, they’d be better off cursing me directly…”

Su Lu felt a bit paranoid. He glanced at Ali’s body again and went over to rummage.

The next moment, his face turned strange and from Ali’s pocket, he pulled out a piece… of human skin?

“What is this…”

Su Lu looked at the fragmented map in his hand.

It seemed to be made up of different pieces of human skin, marked with obscure symbols and patterns in black lines.

It looked somewhat like the Gulam language from the design perspective.

“The Gaosuo people have a habit of tattooing important information on their bodies… and the Gulam language is their ritual language… Perhaps Gered slaughtered the Gaosuo tribe for this?”

Su Lu looked at the human skin map in his hand, “Could it be… Ali betrayed

Gered and stole it during the chaos?”

“Or maybe… Did Gered instruct him to keep it safe and retreat?” He thought about it, but couldn’t make any sense of it.

But at this time, the noise in the canyon slowly returned to silence.

Not daring to take any risks, Su Lu quickly got onto his horse, took the captives, and made a quick exit..
