Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

What are you doing in CheLun Town?

Luo Xiu continued to ask.

"It was at that master's request. He enjoys hunting and has hired us several times before. This time, he's visiting Wheel Town—"

"Alright, that's enough!"

Luo Xiu interrupted again, leaving Mike completely confused.

He didn't understand why the man in front of him would ask him questions but then interrupt him after only listening to half of each one.

Little did he know that Luo Xiu was already feeling a chill run down his spine.

He just wanted to find out why there were so many people in town recently, but Mike's answers kept touching on that hidden red line, making his vague guess more and more true.

Luo Xiu even suspected that Mike did it on purpose, just to intimidate him.

In order to end this horrifying interrogation as quickly as possible, Luo Xiu hurriedly asked the question he most wanted to know:

Do you know why so many people have come to CheLun Town lately?

"I know that, it was the 'Vulture' who spread the news!"

Mike answered loudly and quickly this time.

"Vulture?"

Luo Xiu was stunned. Was this the name of an organization?

"It's an organization of necromancers near Bandanda."

Seeing that Luo Xiu seemed to have never heard of vultures, Mike was puzzled.

He had always assumed that Luo Xiu was from Bandanda or a nearby major city, but this monster sounded like a local from Wheel Town.

Does this small town actually support such a terrifying adventurer team?!

Yes, even now, Mike still believes that there is a priest and a warlock behind Luo Xiu.

"Tell me more about the vultures."

Luo Xiu spoke.

"The Vultures is a well-known organization near Bandanda because it is full of necromancers, and necromancers, in a sense, make a living off the dead. Hence, the organization is named the Vultures."

Mike immediately replied:

"The Vultures are known for a regular operation called 'Cleansing,' which involves going to places with a large number of casualties so that their members can absorb the power of the dead."

"And this activity has become a favorite among adventurers and wandering merchants."

"Because those guys in the vultures are usually only interested in the undead, and the items on the dead are sold cheaply. Besides, there are occasionally some living people as well..."

Mike hadn't finished speaking, but Luo Xiu already understood.

No wonder there are so many slave traders and adventurers in town; they're here to make a living off the dead.

"So this time the vultures spread the word that the next cleanup target is Wheel Town?"

Luo Xiu asked.

Mike nodded:

"The vultures are acting strangely this time. In the past, they would only go to clean up after a large number of casualties had occurred in a certain place. This time, however, they announced the next cleanup location a month in advance."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Luo Xiu's expression and continued:

"But I might know why..."

Luo Xiu smiled upon hearing this.

This is like negotiating with yourself.

"If you explain yourself clearly, I'll let you go."

Mike felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Rosius's smile.

But I still forced myself to speak:

"As soon as the adults arrived in CheLun Town, they called us to go hunting on the east side of the town. But when we got there, we found..."

Mike stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

He looked at Luo Xiu, his eyes flickering slightly.

This was his final piece of advice.

As a prisoner, first bring up a topic that interests the other party, and then abruptly end the conversation.

Next, in order to get the answer they want, the other side will definitely resort to countless forms of torture.

But as long as you persevere, there's still a sliver of hope to survive!

He was prepared to never back down, no matter what Luo Xiu did.

"Why did you stop talking?"

Luo Xiu laughed.

Mike took a deep breath and said:

"Sir, I see you must be a professional adventurer as well. Since we're in the same line of work, let's not hide anything. What follows is my last bargaining chip. If you don't—"

Bang! ! !

A sound like a watermelon being smashed rang out.

The eye on Mike's remaining half of his head was wide open, as if it were filled with resentment, confusion, and regret.

Then his body slowly fell backward, landing in a pool of blood, ending his seasoned life.

Luo Xiu put down the hammer.

He reached out and wiped the blood off his blond hair, then smiled at Leila and said:

"Leila, search him for anything."

"Good host!"

Leila nodded vigorously, completely unaffected by the bloody scene.

They even felt that their own owner had given this person too much of a bargain.

As Leila began searching him, Luo Xiu turned his back to her, slowly squatted down, and finally could no longer hold back.

His face turned ashen, and his stomach churned uncontrollably.

He's not some born killer, so of course he'd feel disgusted and terrified after killing someone for the first time today.

But he knew that surviving in this dangerous world was only the first hurdle.

If you can't even get past this hurdle, what's the point of talking about a trip to another world? Even having cheat codes won't help.

Only by becoming more dangerous than these dangerous guys can you have the capital and confidence to survive in this world!

Seeing his blood-stained hands trembling slightly, Luo Xiu slowly clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

From this day forward, I will never let anyone see my weakness.

"Master, the search is complete!"

Leila's voice came from beside him, making Luo Xiu freeze in place.

Will Nima Leila see this? My own chuunibyou moment.

What's the difference between this and social death?!

Just as Luo Xiu was thinking of finding a hole to crawl into,

The next second, a warm and gentle touch came from above my head.

Leila gently pulled Luo Xiu's head into her arms, patted his back, and whispered:

"Master's forehead is covered in sweat."

There is only this one sentence.

The open space fell silent for a long time, with only the sound of Leila gently patting her back remaining.

A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, and sunlight scattered like shards of gold.

Luo Xiu quietly savored the faint fragrance in Leila's arms and the gentle pats on his back, and the anxiety and unease in his heart were slowly dispelled.

My initial desire to immediately head to the next place inexplicably slowed down.

Fine, I'll just stay here for a few more seconds.

Chapter 11 Counting the Trophies

After resting for a while,

The master and servant began sorting through the spoils of war.

Leila laid out the things she had taken from Mike on the ground.

They consist of a magic pouch shaped like a waist bag, a necklace, and a bunch of arm and leg armor.

On their first murder and robbery, both master and servant were excited as they looked at the spoils before them.

Luo Xiu picked up the necklace first.

It was a necklace that looked very unremarkable.

The necklace cord looks like an ordinary black cord with a blood-red crystal about the size of a thumbnail strung in the middle of it. There are no other gold or silver embellishments.

But Luo Xiu had experienced the power of this necklace before, and the injuries he was currently suffering were all thanks to it.

According to the blue-haired boy, this necklace should be called the Thorn Guardian.

It can not only weaken the enemy's attack, but also cause complete counter-damage.

This effect definitely qualifies it as a top-tier magical item.

It's just unclear how effective it will be when facing a stronger enemy.

Luo Xiu's magic power was still depleted from casting a healing spell, so he couldn't test the necklace's effects and wanted to put it away for now.
