My profession is too unique.

Chapter 25 Hu Xiang's horror: Why is nothing wrong?
The other party seemed certain of his location, and after both sides simultaneously approached within three meters of him, paused briefly, and then suddenly attacked.

Whoosh--
The sound of wind breaking through the fog came from within.

Chen Xing is also a strongman, but he has a well-proportioned physique, making him a perfect candidate for the job. He possesses professional abilities, and his [Strong] ability has already been activated.

His muscles were tense, and his skin was a pale red. Even though his opponent was just a refugee, he did not relax and launched a sudden attack in the safest way.

The target was right in front of them. It seemed that because their attack was so sudden, the other party did not even have time to react, and there was not even a look of fear on their face.

"He certainly has a handsome face..." he couldn't help but think, subconsciously holding back a bit of his strength, afraid of killing the other person.

The objective was to loot, not to kill.

But at that moment, the target turned his head slightly and looked at him, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

"Hmm!" Chen Xing's expression changed drastically, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he realized something was wrong.

Su Chen unleashed his [Wind Erosion] ability, having secretly been gathering power for a long time. His right arm muscles tensed, his hand clenched into a fist, and his waist twisted, moving his upper body.

The mist, swirling around his arm, was thrown towards the attacker on his left.

boom!
Their fists collided, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding mist.

Tear!

Chen Xing's eyelids twitched violently, his face turned pale with horror, the clothes on his arms were torn inch by inch, and dense bloodstains appeared on his skin, as if he had been cut by a knife, and a stinging pain came over him.

The attack carries elemental power? What kind of class is this?
Refugees? Refuge your mother!

The target's performance was completely different from what was described in the data.

Fortunately, two of them came this time.

Fortunately, he remained cautious throughout the attack.

If this guy chooses to stop him, he's bound to suffer at the hands of his companions...

Before Chen Xing could finish his thought, his eyes suddenly widened.

Behind the target, strands of fibers resembling blue hair seemed to be condensing, appearing to be moving slowly but actually forming blue iron chains at an extremely fast speed.

It was taut like a long spear, as if controlled by an invisible force, and suddenly thrust out.

At the same time, [Mental Sharpness] was activated. Su Chen mobilized his own mental power, condensing it into fine needles, and stabbed fiercely.

The fat man was terrified, feeling as if his head had been struck a heavy blow, and everything went black before his eyes.

His body's inertia made it difficult for him to pull away, as if he had crashed into it. His large body disappeared into the blue pole almost without any resistance.

Chen Xing watched helplessly as his companion stared blankly with wide eyes, seemingly still trying to struggle.

But then, strands of blue, fiber-like iron wires appeared on his skin.

He couldn't help but feel a chill, and could even imagine the terrifying sight of these hair-like things crisscrossing inside his body.

"You..." In the moment of distraction, the target did not stop, and punched him in the head.

Chen Xing hurriedly tried to stop him, but fear gripped his heart and all he wanted to do was run away.

boom!
His companion's body on the other side lost its support and fell heavily. He was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

Meanwhile, the opponent's arms were now covered with a layer of blue arm armor, and sharp spikes resembling brass knuckles were attached to their knuckles.

puff!

This time, the opponent's attack penetrated the skin without any obstruction, and the stinging sensation instantly spread throughout the body.

Chen Xing's eyes widened as his consciousness was consumed by darkness.

He was attacked from both sides and died in the blink of an eye.

"Such perfect timing, Old Zhao has just left..." Su Chen stopped his attack, looking at the two corpses on the ground, his brows furrowed.

"He could pinpoint my location with incredible accuracy... confirming I was right here, working from the inside... Old Zhao?"

"No, if it were him, there would be no need for him to leave. He could have stayed and attacked me together."

"Hu Xiang was the one who assigned the watch positions and times, could it be...?"

Su Chen guessed, and couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. If it was Hu Xiang, then things would be troublesome.

This guy is clearly not a Tier 1 professional.

“However, the fact that he didn’t do it himself, but only made these arrangements, shows that he still has some concerns…” Su Chen squatted down and felt around on the two corpses.

He quickly found a few items: a wallet and several bottles of medicine. He quickly put them away and then threw the body a little further away.

.........

After waiting a few more moments, Hu Xiang estimated that the attack was over and then said, "Let's go to the scene."

Old Zhao remained silent, and the two of them went to the place where they were on night watch, one after the other.

"Why is there still blood?" Hu Xiang stared at the bloodstains on the ground, his face grim. "What an idiot..."

Two professionals attacked a homeless man, yet they still couldn't control their strength.

Old Zhao's face tightened. "If there's blood on the surface, it's not easy to establish the Mist Nightmare. What if it gets discovered during the investigation..." The Mist Nightmare is a special creature that is almost invisible and can possess living beings.

He looked at his captain with a wary expression, afraid that the new version of events would implicate him as well.

Hu Xiang noticed Lao Zhao's gaze and felt a pang of sorrow. If it weren't for the price offered by the other party, which he desperately needed, he wouldn't have done this.

He sighed, "Then let's go with the corpse beetle... Old Zhao, you'll have to have some scars on you."

The city guards who led the students on patrols generally avoided dangerous places, and a detailed report was required for each student who died.

Nanfeng College would even send people to conduct on-site inspections.

Based on his own experience, Hu Xiang had done a pretty good job on the scene. Old Zhao was clutching one arm, his face pale.

Seeing Lao Zhao's grim expression, Hu Xiang wanted to say something, but the locator he was holding tightly in his hand suddenly flashed a rapid and dangerous red light.

"Camp!"

Hu Xiang's expression changed drastically. Without daring to delay, he picked up Lao Zhao, and roaring flames erupted from his body as he broke through the fog and disappeared.

A few breaths later, the camp was in sight. There was no attack from the mutated species, but all the patrol guards were on high alert.

"What's going on!" Hu Xiang asked with a serious expression.

"Team, Captain..." Old Zhao clutched his arm, staring in astonishment at the direction of the camp.

Hu Xiang followed the gaze, his usually composed expression nearly losing control, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.

Su Chen, whom they thought had been abducted, was now standing quietly in the center of the camp, watching them.

“How could he…” Hu Xiang began to speak subconsciously, then abruptly shut his mouth.

"Old Zhao!" Su Chen quickly stepped forward, his face full of concern. "Are you alright? What happened to your arm...?"

"No, it's nothing..." Old Zhao didn't dare to meet Su Chen's gaze and spoke vaguely.

"Captain Hu Xiang, what's wrong with Lao Zhao? Are you in danger?" Su Chen turned to look at Hu Xiang.

Hu Xiang's eyes darted around, his guilt and unease making it difficult for him to respond.

"Su Chen, what's going on? What danger is there?" Zhou Zong asked from a distance. He was sleeping when Su Chen suddenly woke him up, and he was naturally annoyed.

The others were still sleepy and somewhat bewildered, while Bai Fengxi stood at the back of the crowd, lost in thought.

"Shut up!" Hu Xiang shouted in a deep voice. "Old Zhao was in danger and I scared him away. Su Chen was right, better safe than sorry!"

Zhou Zong was completely baffled. What was wrong with Hu Xiang? He had only made a complaint.

"It's good that you're alright..." Su Chen seemed relieved, but then looked troubled and said, "Captain Hu... my legs are still trembling, I want to rest for a while."

He definitely wouldn't go on night watch anymore; Hu Xiang was a second-tier professional who could kill him with one hand.

Before Hu Xiang could speak, Zhou Zong jumped out and said coldly, "Your night watch isn't over yet. If everyone is as afraid of danger as you, then no one should be on watch."

“Okay, you should rest tonight.” Hu Xiang didn’t hesitate, then pointed to Zhou Zong, “You take his place.”

Zhou Zong was dumbfounded. Had Hu Xiang lost his mind?

The others were also confused. How much time had passed, and why was Hu Xiang becoming more and more biased towards Su Chen?

Su Chen was also quite surprised, staring at Hu Xiang. This reaction didn't seem like a deliberate attempt to frame him.

He had originally planned to break off relations if Hu Xiang forced him to keep watch at night.

He refused to believe that this guy had enough control to keep so many people in the dark.

At least, he still had some confidence in Bai Fengxi's side.

But the current situation is... somewhat unpredictable.

Zhou Zong angrily went to keep watch, while Su Chen returned to his small tent, and the others returned one after another.

"The situation is unpredictable..." Su Chen remarked.

Suppressing his doubts for the time being, he took out some of the things he had obtained from looting the corpse. There weren't many gold coins in his wallet, but there were two light gold cards.

"...Nanfeng Currency Exchange..." Su Chen stared at the words on the screen, "Bank card?"

"I don't know if it requires a password..." The original owner had never encountered such a high-tech thing before.

Then he looked at the remaining bottles of medicine, which were clearly not blood-activating medicines. Their color was more intensely red, and there were some black sediments in them.

"Black Flame Potion?" Su Chen asked, somewhat uncertain.

Since he snatched the potion from Zhou Zong last time, he took some time to go to the library and brush up on his knowledge of potion-making, so as to avoid getting something good but not recognizing it.

When the medicine was turned upside down, the black sediment seemed to be stimulated and burst into flames like fireworks in the bottle.

“It really is…” Su Chen couldn’t help but grin.

Although this is also a Tier 1 potion, it is more precious than the Blood Activating Potion. It is only used after one's professional development level has reached a certain point and the improvement is slow.
