Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 463 Night Crow Harbor [Part ]

After burning more than thirty bandits.

The career path of the Pyreman is to burn thirty criminals.

The advancement requirements for Sequence 8 Pyrotechnician have also been exceeded.

Now of course you can make changes.

At this moment, under the effect of the scarlet panel.

Hu Qi could clearly feel that the extraordinary characteristics in his body were changing.

At the same time, information about Sequence Eight, the Pyre Officer, also appeared in his mind.

Some parts of it are more complete and clear than what Ired said.

There are even places where it is exactly the opposite of what the other party says.

For that matter.

This was not beyond Hu Qi's expectations.

Ired felt nothing but hatred for him.

The reason why I was so happy to tell him the information about the career path of the Pyrographer.

Remove the forced.

Another point.

It is estimated that they also hoped that he would try to practice after obtaining the professional path of the Pyrographer, and finally die in the process due to the backlash of his extraordinary characteristics caused by problems with meditation and potions.

But unfortunately, Ired obviously did not expect that Hu Qi would directly use the Heaven-stealing Technique to seize his own extraordinary characteristics.

All his accumulations became Hu Qi's nourishment.

Analyzing the information in my mind.

This is one of the benefits of the scarlet panel.

You can get the correct information about this career path as you advance.

A strange look appeared on Hu Qi's face.

In this stream of information.

He also gained something else.

That is the name of the seventh Pyrolyte.

only.

What he didn't expect was.

Sequence Seven has two names, Soul Burning Master and Flame Oracle.

But that's all.

The specific mystical content about this sequence is missing, so it is impossible to advance.

But Hu Qi cared about something else.

"Two names, could it be that they represent two different choices of paths?"

pity.

He did not get any information about this from Ired.

He could only guess about this.

At this time.

The changes in his extraordinary properties have stopped.

Simultaneously.

He also noticed that his physical strength had been strengthened to a certain extent.

Although the pyrotechnician is not a profession that focuses on strengthening the body.

But with the improvement of sequence.

Under the influence of extraordinary characteristics.

You will gradually move towards transcendence.

The physical body will also improve to some extent.

Think about this.

Hu Qi looked at the panel.

-

[Sequence Eight: Pyrocutioner (Ability: Control the fire of sin, doubling the lethality to those who have committed sins)]

……

[Modified value: 138807 (51%)]

This upgrade consumes 150 modification points.

This is nothing to Hu Qi now.

There is a cave world.

Every once in a while.

Modified values ​​will grow slowly.

His eyes fell on the sequence column.

"The fire of sin doubles its lethality to the sinner?"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

Some surprises.

He looked around.

The coachman and Old Butt at the side lowered their heads one by one when they saw Hu Qi's gaze, not daring to look him in the face.

For that matter.

Hu Qi didn't interfere.

He cares about something else.

In his eyes, these people all had a ball of phantom green flame on their bodies.

the only difference.

It's the size of the flame and the intensity of the flame that are different.

The strongest smell was found in old Bute and another driver with a fat face.

Hu Qi, who had obtained the information about the Burning Officer, naturally knew what this was.

This thing is nothing else.

It is the fire of sin that is the embodiment of the sins a person has committed.

The stronger the fire of sin is, the more sins you have committed.

"interesting!"

Hu Qi looked strange.

If we talk about the sequence nine arsonist, it only involves extraordinary power.

Then the ability of this Sequence 8 Pyre Officer is a bit strange.

Not only does it make up for the arsonist's shortcomings, it even has the ability to control and ignite the fire of sin.

Although it only doubles the lethality to those who have sins.

However, sin itself is a complex and multidimensional concept, and its definition often varies according to different cultures, religions, ethics or legal systems.

The things involved can be big or small.

As small as cursing at someone.

As serious as murder and arson.

Therefore, if measured by standards, it can be said that no one is completely innocent.

Not even a newborn baby.

Because there are mixed organisms in the oxygen in the air we breathe, absorbing it into the body is also an act of killing life and will also accumulate sin.

Of course, this is just a form of judgment.

The extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence Eight Pyre Judge are obviously not capable of making such harsh judgments on sins.

But even so, this ability is truly horrifying.

Because it also comes with a special effect.

It means being able to distinguish good from evil at a glance.

And the group of people standing in front of Hu Qi at this moment, including old Butt, were all evildoers.

Hu Qi was not surprised by this.

In this chaotic era where laws are non-existent, burning living people in the streets is common. How could these people not have blood on their hands if they dared to do business?

Think about this.

His eyes swept across the crowd and finally stopped on a driver with a fat face.

This person was the one who had the most hostility towards him in the entire team.

Hu Qi raised his hand and pointed towards the other party.

"what--"

A shrill scream suddenly tore through the air.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, fierce green flames suddenly gushed out of the sturdy man's seven orifices, and his entire body instantly turned into a human-shaped pillar of fire.

Amid the crackling sound of flesh bursting, in just a few breaths, only a charred body remained on the ground, still emitting smoke.

Some people became incontinent on the spot, and many more collapsed to the ground as if their bones had been pulled out.

"Don't be afraid. He died only because he wanted to kill me."

Speaking of it.

Hu Qi looked at Old Bute with a hint of meaning.

"As long as you listen to me and don't say anything you shouldn't, I won't kill you!"

"Yes, sir, don't worry. We will never tell anyone about what happened today. If anyone dares to do so, I will be the first one to not let him go!"

Old Butt's forehead hit the ground heavily, and cold sweat soaked the clothes on his back.

……

As autumn approached, the humid sea breeze, carrying thunderclouds, swept in from the direction of Night Crow Harbor.

The convoy moved slowly forward on the muddy road, and the wheels made a dull sound as they rolled over the puddles.

Since the convoy was loaded with heavy timber, and was blocked by frequent thunderstorms and required rest, it did not move very fast, only about 20 to 30 miles a day.

The roads were muddy and difficult to walk on after being washed by rain. The horses' panting sounded particularly heavy in the humid air, and the drivers cursed the annoying weather from time to time.

However, Hu Qi was not impatient about this.

He used this slow journey to calmly recuperate this body.

Whenever the convoy stopped to rest, he would sit cross-legged under a tree or next to the car, close his eyes and concentrate, using a unique posture and methods of circulating qi and blood to nourish his body.

Over time.

This body slowly reached its limit.

Unless one breaks through to the extraordinary, it will be difficult to make further progress.

Except for the previous accident.

This journey has been smooth.

There is an alliance between the bandits and Old Bute, and as long as they pay a certain fee, they can pass safely.

And Hu Qi did not kill again.

After all, the advancement ritual has been completed.

There is no change in the value of slaughtering these ordinary people.

He naturally wouldn't do that.

However, there is one only change.

That's since I last saw Hu Qi's methods.

Including Old Butt, everyone's attitude towards Hu Qi was extremely humble, no, to be more precise, it was fear.

On the fourteenth day.

The convoy finally arrived at its destination.

That is where Night Crow Port is located.

If it were according to the past.

This journey will take at least twenty days.

The reason why it is so fast.

Because they wanted to get rid of Hu Qi as soon as possible.

To this end, we sped up our journey.

A few days early.

For everyone’s little thoughts.

Hu Qi was too lazy to care.

They were standing on a towering cliff at the moment, and the morning breeze blew in the face with the scent of sea salt and coal smoke.

It was dawn.

Looking down, Night Crow Harbor spreads out in the dim light of dawn.

The entire city is like a giant beast's lair, spreading along the winding coastline.

Countless spires, chimneys and domes were looming in the mist, Gothic black towers pierced the morning haze, and the roofs of factories looked like pieces of rusty scales.

Brass-colored water pipes cling to the surface of these buildings, and from a distance they look like blood vessels.

Further away, the outline of the port gradually became clear.

The crane is like a sleeping steel giraffe, the dock warehouses are arranged like building blocks, and the breakwater extends into the gray-blue sea like a scar.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, the morning sun is dyeing the clouds orange-red like molten iron.

Several early morning steamboats were sailing off into the distance, trailing coal smoke, their wakes leaving a few pale streaks on the calm sea.

Near the shore, the fishing boats have lit their lights, and the faint points of light rise and fall among the waves like scattered stardust.

The whole city has not yet fully awakened, but faint whistles can be heard from the port area.

Over time.

Night Raven Harbor has awakened in tones of copper and iron grey.

The huge steam chimneys spewed out gray mist, which intertwined with the thin mist drifting from the sea.

Due to the large amount of hot steam emissions, a reddish-brown cloud permanently floats over the city of Night Crow Port.

Listen to what the drivers in these caravans say.

Once winter arrives, the condensed metal particles will form 'gear snow'.

It will leave a temporary patina on the skin.

Hu Qi retracted his gaze.

He dismounted and walked silently towards Night Crow Harbor under the nervous gaze of Old Butt and his companions.

Wait until Hu Qi's back gradually disappeared.

Everyone's tense minds finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"gone?"

"Did that monster really let us go?"

The tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and some people even smiled as if they had survived a disaster.

But the next second.

Their smiles froze on their faces.

"Uh. No, it's hot. It's so hot!"

One of the men seemed to notice something.

He looked down at his palms and his pupils suddenly contracted.

The skin on the palm of my hand turned red, and even flames were gushing out.

"--ah!!"

A shrill scream suddenly rang out.

Flames erupted from everyone's body, flesh and blood carbonized in the high temperature, and bones crackled.

Curses, cries, and pleas for mercy were distorted in the fire and eventually fell silent.

Ten seconds later.

All that was left on the charred land were a few frightened horses and a pile of burnt wood.

A breeze blew, carrying the ashes towards the harbor like a flock of dying crows.

Hu Qi didn't look back.

Under normal circumstances, he might have let these people go.

But this time is different. The world of the Ten-Star Novel is not simple to begin with, and with the presence of three managers, it is better to be cautious.

He doesn't want to be targeted by the powerful professionals in this world before he has developed enough.

this world.

Only the dead remain silent forever.

now.

As Hu Qi stepped forward, the body beneath his clothes rippled like the surface of water.

His bones were slightly dislocated, and his muscle fibers were wriggling and reorganizing under his skin like a living thing.

The shoulders narrowed a bit, the waist and abdomen became tighter, and even the outline of the neck softened a little.

The originally rough knuckles shrank slightly, the phalanges adjusted, and even the shape of the five fingers became more slender.

This is not an illusion, but absolute control over every inch of muscle and fascia in the body.

After a slight adjustment, his appearance also changed quietly.

The brow bone is slightly low, the nose bridge is soft, and the angles of the jaw are weakened.

The whole person becomes more handsome.

Although it is still the same face, he looks like two different people.

……

The lights in the pub were dim, and the gas lamps in the copper shades swayed gently, casting an amber glow on the turbid air.

A tall red-haired woman leaned behind the oak counter, polishing a crystal wine glass with her slender fingers.

The loose hair on her forehead fell beside her porcelain-white cheeks, dotted with a few light brown freckles, which made her red lips look even brighter.

The noise of the drunks in the bar inexplicably became a little quieter when it came near her.

Occasionally, a drunk who didn't know his place would try to approach and strike up a conversation, but he would immediately be grabbed by the sleeve by his companions and dragged back to the corner.

Most of the old customers in this area know that although this rose is beautiful, the thorns on its stem can be fatal.

Those who are blind will always appear in a dark alley in the port the next day, staring with eyes that can never close.

At this moment, the oak door of the tavern was pushed open with a creaky sound.

A thin young man with red hair and red eyes strode in, walked straight to the counter, and sat down on a mottled high stool.

He rapped his knuckles on the countertop. His voice was hoarse. “Give me a glass of Blood Delight.”

Ophelia's hand, which was wiping the wine glass, paused slightly.

She raised her eyelashes, and her dark red eyes flashed a little under the light.

Meeting that pair of red eyes that were exactly the same as hers.

Silence stretched between the two for a few seconds.

In the end, she didn't ask anything, but turned around and took down the bottle of liquor on the top shelf.

The silver cocktail shaker flew between her fingers, and the ice cubes made a crisp sound when they collided.

With a faint blue arc of fire blooming at the rim of the cup, the burnt aroma of citrus explodes instantly.

There was a murmur of exclamation from the drinkers.

She remained unmoved, just raised the corners of her lips slightly and gently pressed the burning orange peel into the wine.

The moment the flame went out, a wisp of green smoke rose.

Ophelia pushed the prepared wine glass in front of Hu Qi, and the bottom of the glass touched the wooden table, making a slight muffled sound.

"Slow use!"

"Thank you!"

Hu Qi reached out and grasped the wine glass.

The dark red wine looked like solidified blood under the dim light, but when you got closer, you could smell a strange fragrance.

He tilted his head back and drank it all.

In an instant, a burning sensation spread from the throat to the stomach, as if I had swallowed a ball of fire.

But soon, this heat turned into a surging force that rushed to every part of his body, and even his mind became clear.

After a few breaths, he slowly opened his eyes.

“The wine is great!”

See Hu Qi drink it all.

Ophelia's originally cold expression softened a little.

"follow me!"

She turned and walked towards the room behind the wooden curtain on the side.

Hu Qi did not hesitate.

He stood up, pushed away the high stool and followed.

See this scene.

The eyes of the people in the tavern became somewhat envious and jealous.
