Muxing City is the nearest big city to Naspar.

Due to the sea of ​​trees, if you want to reach the west side of the mainland, it is impossible to go straight through it by land route, so sea transportation has become a necessity.

Muxing City is right next to the Sea of ​​Trees and is the last port city on the eastern edge of the Sea of ​​Trees. Goods from the east bound for the west must pass through here.

The profits brought by trade have made Muxing City very wealthy. Although it is not comparable to a real super-large city, the infrastructure construction and people's living standards are not comparable to those of villages and towns.

The entire Muxing City is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and can be roughly divided into four areas, namely the port area, the upper city area, the middle city area and the lower city area.

Among them, the upper city area is occupied by the nobles of the ruling class, while the middle city area is occupied by businessmen and people with a certain social status, such as officials.

In addition to important trade, the port area is also an area where ordinary people live, so it has the largest area.

As for Xiacheng District...

Strictly speaking, Xiacheng District is not part of Muxing City because it is built outside the city wall. Although there are occasional patrols by guards, the environment in the city is completely different.

To put it more clearly, it is equivalent to a ghetto.

Crime is rampant in this kind of place, and there are several gang members who can be photographed every time. However, perhaps because of poverty, the people living here are very united, and truly vicious crimes are relatively rare.

It's just that things haven't been normal recently. People have been missing one after another, and the trend is expanding. There are reports of missing people in the port area and even in the middle city area.

This attracted official attention, and the guards had to work overtime to handle the matter.

The sun was slowly setting, as if it was about to sink into the shadow of the sea of ​​trees. In the messy streets of the lower city, an ordinary woman was walking slowly along the path, holding a vegetable basket in her hand. She should be shopping.

The food is back.

This kind of scene is very common, even people from Xiacheng District still need to eat.

However, under the dim light, he didn't seem to notice the peeking eyes hiding in the corner.

The person hiding in the dark is called Jixiu, and he is a person who works on the street. Although it is easy to get caught, the pay is indeed not low.

Looking along, he noticed that the man turned into an alley that few people passed by at this time.

You should be able to get one vote.

There are not many good products in Xiacheng District, but the quantity is relatively sufficient. Although the clothes are ordinary or even simple, and the appearance is not good, the skin is very young, and youth itself is a weight that increases the value of goods.

The limelight has been a bit tight recently, which has caused Jixiu to not open for a long time. He is also a bit tight on money. If he doesn't want to think of a way to do a job and wait for the debt collectors to come to his door, then it is not as simple as asking for money.

Thinking of this, Jixiu put on his hood, hid his face, and followed carefully without making any noise.

There are many alleys in Xiacheng District, because the planning here is equivalent to no planning. All the houses were built by individuals without any approval. Naturally, there is no order. There are alleys and crooked alleys everywhere.

This also makes it easier to do bad things.

Using the cover of the terrain and the stealth skills he had honed as a pickpocket and thief in the past, Ji Xiu managed to get close to the target without much effort and was completely undetected.

When the other party reached a crossroads, Ji Xiu knew that he had to take action. If he continued to follow him, he would have to return to the main road where someone might pass by.

Then he suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed in quickly. At the same time, he took out a dagger from his fingers like a magic trick and pressed it against Rou Piao's vest.

"Little girl, you are unlucky today. For your own safety, it's best not to move."

He pressed his hand on the other person's shoulder and could clearly feel the trembling. This was something he was used to.

Of course, it's still too early to say it's under control. Ji Xiu kept threatening, planning to take out the powder to stun the person so he could take it away easily.

And just when he was about to succeed, he heard this sound.

"I thought it would be difficult to catch him. Didn't he just take the bait casually? The local guards really didn't do their job well enough."

Ji Xiu was startled, and immediately saw a young woman wearing leather armor and a pair of rabbit ears approaching behind him.

Be an adventurer!

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately noticed that female adventurers of about the same age were also walking out of the hidden corners on the left and right sides of the intersection.

He was surrounded.

The spotlight has been really tight recently, but generally the guards will not go to Xiacheng District to investigate too seriously. After all, the residents here are quite disgusted with the guards, and it will be very troublesome to investigate.

But Jixiu didn't expect that such a trivial matter would be entrusted to an adventurer.

It's not easy to get away now.

He immediately hugged the meat ticket, put the dagger to the other person's neck, and shouted sternly:

"Don't come here! Otherwise her life will be at risk!"

Having a hostage in his hand really slowed down the opponent's approach.

However, if you think about it carefully, since this is a game that lures the snake out of its hole, how could the guy who is the bait be a simple weakling?

"Get out of the way right away! As long as it's safe, I will let go..."

Before he finished speaking, the meat ticket in his hand said:

"Put what?"

This voice doesn't sound like a woman...

The meat ticket controlled by him raised his hand and clasped his finger on the dagger.

The next moment, the flashing electric light pierced the dim light of the setting sun. The strong electric shock made it impossible for Ji Xiu to hold the weapon. Not only his fingers but also his entire arm were numb with electricity.

Almost at the same time, Rou Piao, who was supposed to be defenseless, struck an elbow behind him without hesitation. This time, it hit Ji Xiu just below the chest. The force was so strong that it almost knocked out his lunch, and his body

He couldn't help but bend into the shape of a prawn.

"You, you..."

Out of habit, I reluctantly planned to say a few harsh words, but when I raised my eyes, I saw the soles of the shoes that were enlarging...

This kick was extremely relieving and knocked him to the ground.

However, as a bad guy who has been hanging out on the streets all year round, Ji Xiu certainly has a skill or two to save his life.

Just as a bang was heard, a large cloud of smoke exploded, quickly engulfing Ji Xiu's figure.

Covered by the smoke, he quickly stood up and tried to escape, holding his stomach.

The environment in Xiacheng District is complex and there are too many alleys. He has been hanging around here all year round. He is confident that he can escape as long as he keeps a little distance.

But at this time, a very unnatural strong wind blew away the smoke. Before Ji Xiu could run ten meters away, the smoke completely dissipated.

Among the three female adventurers, a magical light flashed through the hand of one of the expressionless guys.

Not only are there tough adventurers, there are even mages!

Mages are extremely rare, and even if you don't work as an adventurer, it's still easy to find a decent job. Therefore, there are not many mages among adventurers. If you mess with them, it can only be said that Ji Xiu is unlucky today.

.

Eve used a wind-making spell to blow away the smoke and looked at Korra, who took out a short bow and shot an arrow without much aim.

Even though Ji Xiu realized that he couldn't run in a straight line and swayed from side to side, the arrow still hit his left arm as if it had an eye.

For a moment, he felt that the opponent's shot was wrong, but in fact Korra did it on purpose, because even if he jumped left and right, he would not be able to escape the range of the magic. This arrow was just to make Jixiu suffer more.

"Magic Missile!"

Two stance spheres burning with arcane energy flew towards Ji Xiu from different directions on the left and right. Spells with tracking capabilities were not something that could be avoided by moving around. The panicked Ji Xiu turned around and saw

The magic missile is approaching!

With two muffled bangs, Ji Xiu, who was running for his life, fell to the ground as if he had been hit by a hammer. The heavy blow on his back and the impact of his chin on the ground made him see stars. Even if he wanted to continue running,

For a while, my hands and feet became weak.

"ah!"

He was about to stand up when his back was hit hard again, and this time it was definitely not a magic missile, because he could feel like a person hit his back.

His feeling was correct, it was Kaya who was chasing after him who hit him with a flying knee in the back.

This time he smashed him back to the ground, and Kaya grabbed Ji Xiu's arms and twisted them hard! The crunching sound could be heard from more than ten meters away.

——This must be a dislocation.

"It's surprising that someone would be fooled so quickly. I thought it would take me two days of wandering around on the street."

Korra said proudly:

"Maybe it's because your bait is too tempting."

This plan was her idea.

As he spoke, he pulled up his skirt:

"Pei Renli, what do you think of women's clothing?"

Eve even rarely cheered from the side:

"I think your legs are very beautiful."

"Ask me how..."

Pei Renli lowered his head and looked at the skirt on his body, then touched the wig on his head. Pei Renli put on a voluptuous pose and flicked his hair:

"Am I beautiful?"
