Chapter 40: Crazy! (Please recommend a monthly ticket)
As a quasi-first-tier city, with itself as the center, radiating multiple satellite towns, forming an economic and transportation hub, the house prices and rents in the city center are very high.
Even if they choose to rent a house in an old community in the suburbs, the cost is not low, so the initial plan is to join the adventure group as soon as possible, and then stand out, make a lot of money and move into a big villa.
However, imagination is beautiful, and reality is cruel.
Because the three of them have just graduated, they still have a little ivory tower arrogance. There is nothing wrong with this. They are not crazy young people.
But the result is that the bad adventure groups are not interested, and the good ones are highly competitive. Even if they want to work part-time as brick movers, they only want undead beast tamers, especially skeletons who can work day and night without meals.
The salary is so high!
The capitalists should be hung on the street lights!
As a result, a month has passed, and the three have not found a suitable job.
During this period, the feed for the beast tamers is also a big expense, and this cannot reduce the expenses. Long-term malnutrition will affect the potential of the beast tamers, unless they do not want to become powerful beast tamers.
In this way, the money brought from home can only last for another half a month. If they still can't handle it by then, they can only go back in disgrace.
So the three of them gathered together for a small meeting, redefined a new direction, and changed their goal from becoming a big shot to becoming an excellent bounty hunter.
After all, before being high-brow, one has to be a commoner for a while.
And the first mission they took was to hunt the most lucrative hyena.
This was the start of their legend.
"I got you!"
Song Yue also caught Zhao Bin who was deliberately letting him go, and fiercely hammered his shoulders a few times. The latter also pretended to be in pain, which was considered to have calmed down.
The three of them gathered together. Chen Chi, who served as the think tank, pointed to the map and said,
"Go a little further and you will find the rune iron fence at the junction of the abandoned city and the west city. It is engraved with rails that can prevent monster invasions, but it has no effect on humans. We can just climb over it and we will be there."
Zhao Bin couldn't wait any longer: "Then hurry up. I've been saving so much money lately that I'm almost thirsty. I'll treat you to a big meal when I make some money."
"Speak politely!" Song Yue rolled her eyes at him and said worriedly, "Why did we come here ten minutes early? Didn't the owner committee say there was a fourth person? Why don't we wait for him? Facing a monster like the hyena that hunts in groups, one more person means more strength."
Chen Chi lowered his head and thought, while Zhao Bin on the side waved his hand and said indifferently:
"We are already a mature team. Not only are we all at the peak of our strength, but I can be the tank, you are the nurse, and Chen Chi is the controller and commander. It's already perfect. Adding a stranger will make it difficult to cooperate.
It's just because the client insisted that there must be four people on the mission, so we added an extra person. In fact, he is not needed. Moreover, we are not going to eat alone. When the mission is completed, we will give him his share. He can get money without working, and he will be very happy..."
Although he said so, Zhao Bin actually had his own little thoughts.
He wanted to show off his power in front of Song Yue. It would be even better if he could save the beauty. Maybe it would make their relationship warmer.
If a stranger joins, whether he is too strong or too weak, things will become uncontrollable.
Sorry, stranger, I'll put up with you this time. When the mission reward comes, I'll take my share and transfer an extra 3,000 to you!
Zhao Bin thought secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chen Chi glanced at him, and instantly saw his thoughts, but didn't expose him, and echoed:
"Zhao Bin is right, whether the stranger can cooperate with us is secondary, we are afraid of encountering some dark beast masters, they like to disguise and backstab newcomers, plunder pets and money, so we must be on guard against them, we just need to count his share of the money when the time comes."
"What you said makes sense..."
Song Yue was also a little scared, nodded, and the three of them quickly came to the rune iron net according to the map.
Many runes on it have been damaged, and there are some small holes in the iron net. Although the Star Beast Tower is still in operation, the people in the nearby communities are already in a panic.
After all, low-level monsters have infiltrated before. Although it was decades ago and was quickly wiped out, they are still afraid that they will become an exception.
The three of them climbed over the wire mesh and after about ten minutes of walking, they soon arrived at the outer perimeter of the abandoned city.
"Is this the abandoned old city of Dayuan City..."
Song Yue opened her mouth in surprise. What came into view was a piece of ruins. The once magnificent high-rise buildings were already in ruins.
The strangest thing is that whether it is the ground or the buildings, they are all covered with a thick layer of reddish-brown rust, even on the glass.
And in this large amount of rust, a large number of climbing plants have grown, such as creepers, climbing roses, five-leaf ivy, bougainvillea, etc., but the color has changed to reddish-brown, revitalizing and reborn in this ruin.
Chen Chi looked at his surprised childhood friend and explained with a smile, "I checked the data. The reason why this city was abandoned in the past is that a few decades ago, a group of evil god believers held a sacrificial ceremony here, summoning a powerful evil god's follower with the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of people, and slaughtered many people.
Although it was finally killed by the alliance's strong men, the entire city was affected by the aftermath of the battle, covering it with a thick layer of rust, and it was no longer suitable for living, so a new city had to be built not far away. The old city was recycled as a buffer point with the monsters, so there are also a large number of powerful creatures entrenched in the central city."
"What! Are you saying that this rust is not naturally oxidized? It is the remnant of the power of those strong men!"
Song Yue's eyes widened. She could not imagine how powerful it was. The aftermath of the battle alone turned a huge city with millions of people into ruins.
Such an existence is no different from gods and demons, right?
Chen Chi nodded and exclaimed: "I was also shocked when I found the information. These natural disaster-like existences seem to possess the power known as [Domain]. I just don't know whether the rust was caused by the evil god's followers or the alliance's strongmen..."
"Whoever it is, it's very powerful. I hope I can become such a top strongman one day!" Zhao Bin looked yearning, longing to be able to turn the clouds and rain with a flip of his hand.
After exclaiming for a while, the three quickly adjusted their emotions. After all, their primary goal was to hunt crazy hyenas.
After more than ten minutes of searching, they soon found more than a dozen wandering crazy hyenas at the door of an abandoned convenience store!
Their body size is similar to that of ordinary hyenas, and their heads are relatively intact, but their flesh and blood bodies have decayed and are dark red. The flesh and blood in their chests have fallen off, revealing the white bones. In the chest of such a decayed body, there is a red-glowing bloody heart. There are a
large number of thin and long red tentacles growing on it, spreading out from the gaps between the bones, twisting irregularly, and looking extremely weird.
These tentacles are like living things. As the hyena lowers its head, they also extend and scratch across the ground, as if they are exploring life.
One of the hyenas kept exploring and discovered a rusty beetle. Just as it was about to escape, it was caught by a large number of bloody tentacles, which tore it apart and swallowed it, and finally fed it to the bloody heart.
In addition to claws and fangs, there are also tentacles as a means of attack.
"So disgusting..."
Song Yue couldn't help frowning, and Chen Chi beside him was also a little uncomfortable and reminded:
"I read in a book that the hyena is probably a fallen species of the bloodthirsty hound. Because they devour a lot of blood, during the spiritual transformation process, they can easily sense a hidden existence called the Mad God and be contaminated by it. Their hearts mutate, and they continuously produce Mad Blood and tentacles that drive the hyena crazy.
During this process, they will attack like crazy. "All living things, even former tribesmen and descendants, even if their bodies decay in the end, their consciousness will be integrated into this heart, enslaving their rotten bodies to continue hunting for it, but if they can restrain this madness, they will usher in evolution..."
Just as they were talking, several mad hyenas suddenly raised their heads, they keenly smelled the breath of living people.
"Awooo!"
Along with the voices calling their companions, the mad hyenas gathered, looked at the three people with violent eyes, let out fierce growls, and rushed towards them like a bloody torrent...
