Chapter 2087: Rats

,

Seeing these two items, Su Xiao's eyes lit up. One of them was quite important.

Caesar's ability was simply eye-opening. His combat power was very trashy, but he possessed many authorities to exploit loopholes.

For example, it was dangerous for Su Xiao to use Wizard Association reputation to exchange for items, so Caesar changed the exchange nature of some items, changing them to exchange for silver coins of equal value.

As for the potion formula, this thing was likely not an item in the reputation shop, so it couldn't be converted into an exchange method.

Although Caesar was treacherous and stingy, he was very reliable in some aspects.

Su Xiao left the Wizard Association and took out the map provided by Caesar from his bosom. The so-called sewer was not the kind of pipe located underground, but an ultra-large water channel in the low-lying area of the city, used for drainage on rainy days.

The main channel of the sewer was not in the Saint Silver District, but near Bone Port. Going to that side was most suitable for clearing out rats.

Su Xiao always couldn't figure out that it was just rats. Even if the quantity was large, it shouldn't reach the level of obtaining Wizard Association reputation after killing them. This was also the reason why he chose to go to clear out rats.

At this time, the sky was already dawning. The sun should have risen, but it was blocked by the gray fog clouds in the sky. According to Caesar, he had been in Heru City for a while and had only seen the sun once.

Walking along the streets, the houses on both sides opened their doors one after another. Civilians left their homes while yawning; if they didn't labor for a single day, the whole family would go hungry. This was Heru City.

The aroma of food drifted on the street. This city seemed to come alive a bit, and the expressions of despair couldn't be seen on the faces of the civilians. In fact, after getting used to this environment, it was nothing. Humans were one of the races with the strongest adaptability.

No matter how difficult the environment was, people would find ways to survive, and through diligence and wisdom, they would upgrade from "survival" to "living." These two had essential differences. The former was the way of beasts, and the latter was the life of humans.

Su Xiao took a bite of the freshly baked long bread in his hand. The baking craft was quite good, but the quality of the ingredients was not very good.

Passing through a few street blocks, Su Xiao arrived at the edge of the Saint Silver District. Here, at the street corners and alleys, one could see many rough men wearing hemp clothes and covered in smelly sweat. They were coolies. A day's labor could only get 3~7 copper coins.

1 silver coin = 2159 copper coins. This exaggerated exchange ratio showed that the currency mechanism of wizards was separated from civilians, and civilians obtaining extraordinary items was equivalent to an enhanced version of winning the jackpot.

Just out of the Saint Silver District, Su Xiao felt that the atmosphere around him changed. Pairs of eyes hidden in the dark were watching him. Most of them looked and then moved their eyes away, while a few were relatively persistent.

Rapid footsteps came from behind Su Xiao. A strong man covered in blood and with a panicked expression was running wildly.

Whoosh~

The sound of breaking air attacked, and a wooden crossbow arrow pierced into the strong man's calf, which made his feet soft, and he fell into the mud with a thud.

"It's almost there, I've almost saved 200 copper. Give me a few more days."

The strong man dragged his leg and crawled in the mud water. Before he could crawl out for a few meters, the few people behind him chased up.

"Really can run, tired me to death."

A scarred man bent his body, supporting his thigh with one hand, panting heavily.

After calming his breathing, the scarred man pulled a simple dagger from his calf. This thing was just an iron bar ground to be sharp, with dirty cloth wrapped around the tail end.

The scarred man stepped forward quickly, pulled the strong man's hair with one hand, and the dagger in the other hand was pressed against the strong man's neck.

Slash~

The sharp blade cut open the skin and flesh.

Slitting the throat on the street, and in front of the buildings on both sides of the street, there were a few men and women witnessing this scene. Some were calmly eating breakfast, and some were greedy for others having breakfast.

The few people who committed the crime were just about to drag the corpse away when a carriage drove from afar. Seeing this carriage, the scarred man threw the corpse onto the ground and took people away directly.

A surprising and cruel scene appeared. The carriage stopped, the old coachman wearing a black top hat jumped off the carriage, dragged the corpse to the front of the carriage, and threw it onto the flatbed cart.

"Ho~"

The old coachman let out a low roar, drove the carriage, and left. This carriage came once every morning, responsible for dealing with corpses of unknown origin. This was Bone Port, the port of burying bones.

"This folk custom is really simple and honest."

Although Baja had experienced various battles, it was the first time it had come to a place like Bone Port with such "simple and honest folk customs."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was not surprised. The folk customs of the Dead City were more "simple and honest." Apart from wanting lives, the dead people there didn't want anything.

Walking on the muddy dirt road, no one came to find trouble with Su Xiao. This was caused by his aura.

According to the direction marked on the map, Su Xiao soon arrived at the main drainage channel of Bone Port. This was a trench about thirty meters wide and fifty meters deep, with square stones piled on both sides, and many iron ladders leading to the bottom.

After estimating the depth, Su Xiao jumped directly into the trench.

Bang~

Sewage splashed everywhere. Because it had just entered the rainy season, the accumulated water in the sewer was only ten centimeters high. Plus it had just rained not long ago, the air in the sewer was still quite fresh.

The entire sewer was straight forward. A hundred meters ahead, there was a cross-bridge culvert, flowing with sewage. Arriving before the culvert, Su Xiao broke a military glow stick and threw it into the pitch-black culvert.

The blue light dispelled the darkness, and he didn't see any rats. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had a bag of rat poison in its mouth, was somewhat disappointed. It was going to "hardcore" poison the rats.

Going deep into the culvert for dozens of meters, the surrounding air became increasingly damp, and the smell of decay became heavier and heavier.

Drip~

The sound of water dripping came from ahead. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang turned its dog head, and the miner's lamp on its head illuminated the front.

A rat appeared ahead. Its hair was pitch black, as hard as steel needles.

"This thing... is a rat? It can eat at least 6 Caesars in one meal."

Baja was somewhat stunned. After all, a rat as big as a calf was very rare.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang threw the rat poison it had in its mouth onto the ground and even stepped on it. With the weight of the giant rat ahead, eating dozens of bags of rat poison wouldn't necessarily kill it.

"Roar!"

The sound of roaring came. The rats in the Wizard world were unusually fierce, unlike ordinary rats that "squeaked."

Su Xiao now understood why the Wizard Association wanted to clear out rats. If this thing wasn't cleared out periodically, the civilians in the city would be in danger. Without civilians, the good days of wizards would also come to an end.

Splash, splash~

The giant rat stepped on the sewage and turned to flee. Animals were more sensitive than humans.

Zing~

The blade light that was too fast to see clearly slashed past. The giant rat stopped slowly, a bloodstain appeared on its abdomen, and finally, the giant rat was cut into two halves, lying in the sewage.

A wisp of pitch-black energy drifted out from the rat corpse, drifting toward Su Xiao at an extremely fast speed, too fast to dodge.

This wisp of pitch-black energy climbed onto the back of Su Xiao's hand. It didn't invade his body, just forming a black thin line on the skin.

Just as Su Xiao was about to perceive what this black thin line was, the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.

17 times the reputation acquisition, killing one giant rat only gave 0.3 reputation. Wanting to obtain 2000 points, he had to kill at least 6700 giant rats.

Su Xiao took a test tube from the storage space.

With a crash, the test tube smashed against the wall and shattered, and a faint sour smell diffused.

A few minutes later, Su Xiao took out another test tube. Facts proved that he couldn't trust Caesar's alchemy.

The second test tube smashed against the wall, and a fishy sweet smell spread.

Ten-odd seconds later~

Rumble...

Giant rats with blood-red eyes rushed out from the sewer.

Su Xiao held the long sword in front of him. He wasn't prepared for close combat; the lethality of the blade light was enough. ===== CHAPTER 2088 =====
