Chapter 172 This is the Black Hand Organization
Dachun's running was like shrinking the earth and running at full speed as an expert. He immediately heard arrows whistling behind his ears and hitting the barrier with clanging sounds.

Such fast, accurate, and dense arrows! This is just the civilian level... No!
Dachun finally saw the system prompt clearly: —Warning! You are acting rogue and are under attack by the Black Hand Organization.

Black Hand Organization?

"Fuck! No! I'm here to find the Blackhand Tavern. We're on the same side. It must be a misunderstanding!"

But when a whistle sounded from the rear, the armed men in front of Dachun immediately drew their crossbows and pulled the strings - damn, this organization is everywhere in the streets?
But aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting each other by shooting arrows from both ends?
Dachun suddenly remembered that besides invisibility, he also had illusion skills!
I get bigger!
At this moment, Dachun suddenly soared to a level higher!
Do you dare to shoot at such a large, high-speed moving fake target?
The opponent really didn't dare to shoot randomly, and directly chased and blocked in close combat. However, what the Earth Lotus feared least was close combat - its roots would entangle it!
Break through again!

As a result, there were constant whistles and people waving behind me, and no matter where I ran, there were people chasing and hacking me!

Oh my god! Oh my god! Dachun was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do. If the commotion continued like this, it would surely alert the experts!

Suddenly, Dachun saw something familiar and familiar in front of him - a sewer manhole cover!

Dachun's gaze and thoughts froze instantly!

People are path-dependent. Last time in Black Iron City, I had to hide in the sewers. This time—

Without a second thought, Dachun immediately went to lift the manhole cover! At the same time, the roots of the earth lotus once again controlled the people around them.

The progress bar appears!
—System prompt: Warning! Manhole covers are public facilities for urban transportation. Opening them without authorization will constitute a crime of obstructing urban traffic and endangering public safety...

Damn, that's right! It's the same in the human city too. Lifting manhole covers is illegal! But stray dogs lifting manhole covers is not illegal...

So, what the hell am I doing? I don't have anything on me anyway, and the artifact book is bound to me. Even if I get hacked to death, it's no big deal. Why should I run and hide? Why break the law?
No! There's Earth Lotus! I might be able to die, but if Earth Lotus dies with me, my cultivation will definitely be lowered!

Just as the progress bar was advancing, a rain of arrows whizzed down from the surrounding area, and the barrier was almost nailed into a sieve!

Finally, the manhole cover opened and jumped in!

——System prompt: Warning! You have opened the manhole cover without authorization, which constitutes the crime of obstructing urban traffic and endangering public safety...

At this time, it was pitch black all around and I couldn't see anything clearly. I could only hear the sound of water.

Then just jump into the water and escape. After all, you are a level 10 swimming expert!
Then Dachun saw various lights coming from the manhole cover behind him, until it gradually went farther and farther and dark again, and he could no longer hear the noise behind him.

Have you escaped?
Dachun found a secluded spot ashore, finally able to calmly consider his next move. Honestly, he was already a red-name, wasn't he? This was hell, wasn't it? How would breaking the law in hell be considered a crime?
According to the demonic values ​​Erga had previously outlined, if they didn't laugh at you being evil, they would laugh at you being incompetent. That meant murder and arson would cost you a gold belt, but if you were caught, you'd just be whipped and become a laughing stock...

Therefore, I must demonstrate my ability to break through. This might even be the reason why Orica originally brought this up, perhaps hoping I'd join the organization at the Blackhand Tavern. But since I've already offended them, I need to demonstrate my ability to convince the organization, or even try to establish the Mad Bull Gang's authority.

I wonder if Olika lives in this city after get off work?
Try contacting the Chamber of Commerce channel? No, it might be seen by the big boss. He is not an ordinary member, but the vice president, and can see the high-level channels!

Just wait until he is far away and out of the information range of the Chamber of Commerce channel.

Don't disturb Olika now. It should be night time now. She has been working hard for several days and needs to rest and sleep.

Oh right, it's night time now! So these Black Hand gangs all over the streets aren't actually normal citizens, they're just street urchins hanging out at night. Normal female citizens still wear butt curtains, right?
Since I'm at a loss for what to do now, I might as well look at the rune book. Besides, there are the seven runes Old Cow gave me. Given his Grandmaster status and the inventory in the tent, these seven runes must be high-quality. As long as I learn a few rune combinations, I'll be able to cast spells with one click, and breaking through the impasse isn't impossible. "Di Lian, let's study together."

"Okay, Father."

Dachun opened the crystal again. He had flipped through it too quickly before. Due to his high wisdom, he had completed the initial level in an instant, but Dilian might not have had time to read it. This time, he decided to review the old and learn the new, starting from the first rune in the first chapter.

After watching for a few minutes, Dilian showed no response.

Dachun asked, "Dilian, how is your study going?"

Di Lian said weakly, "I can only understand two earth runes. I don't quite understand the others. Why don't you let Dad take a look first? As long as Dad knows how to do it, it will probably be easier for me to learn."

So that's how it is. Dilian is an Earth-type master, and even her mana is unheard of. So there's a solution. Just focus on leveling up, and if you get stuck, let Dilian's Earth-type mastery break through.

So Dachun started to flip through the pages, waiting to see what level the 7 runes given by Lao Niu were.

Dachun kept flipping through the pages and suddenly found 7 runes on the expert level page - and the expert level was just the entry level!

Shit, what I mean is that if I can’t find a rune expert by squatting in the sewer, I can’t use these 7 runes?

Dachun remembered that Xiaoju said he should focus on studying Chapter 33, so he turned to Chapter 33 to see what it was about.

I found it, and the title is "The Rune Inlay Method of the Earth and Flame Body"!
Dachun suddenly realized that the only part of my body that had been cultivated to perfection was my hands! This meant I could embed runes on them, just like embedding gems on rings!

The difference is that gems only add attributes, while runes are used to inlay a set of magic circles! There are more than one set. Runes can be combined in sequence to form new magic circles. With the level of these 7 rune experts, it is not difficult to just put together a set and flush it out of the sewer, right?

OK! Quickly flip to the front and start learning!

This time it didn’t take long:
——System prompt: Congratulations! You have read the Book of Runes. Your exceptional wisdom has comprehended Intermediate Rune Level 1. You have received rewards: Mana +1, Health +1. Additional rewards: Spirit +1, Wisdom +1.

Oh yeah! Intermediate! As expected, every level up adds Spirit and Wisdom! Now the most crucial thing is Wisdom.

Keep going! In less than half a minute, what was supposed to happen came again!
——System prompt: Congratulations... Your remarkable wisdom has comprehended the Intermediate Rune Level 2...

Although it's not as easy as clearing the beginner level in just over ten seconds, it's no problem to reach the advanced level at this rate.

At this moment, Di Lian was delighted: "I understand this intermediate earth rune. It should be like this—"

As he spoke, Dachun's hand was taken over, and he consumed a little mana to draw a glittering rune symbol in front of him!

——System prompt: Congratulations... Your outstanding wisdom and earth-based expertise have enabled you to comprehend the 7th level of Intermediate Rune...

Holy crap! Jumped 5 levels in a row!!

Dachun was overjoyed. This was no problem for the experts!
