27 Assassination

It was impossible to kill an orc with a 5.5 points of Physique attribute by slicing his throat or stabbing his heart. The orc could kill the assassin with a desperate strike. Even if it was not successful, it would cause a huge commotion. Moreover, ordinary people would not necessarily be able to harm the other party even if they wielded normal swords and daggers.

Therefore, Yan Chong took out the green Excellent quality dagger that he had obtained from the Endless Mainland—Pig Slaughtering Knife.

"Although we don't have any enmity or hatred between us, as humans, this is a life and death feud between races."

Yan Chong recalled the scene he saw in the dream just now. Human women were detained in the Orc tribe as slaves. Yan Chong indeed felt a sense of desolation as he mourned for his kindred. He also thought of the fact that the town of Dawn should have been occupied by the Orcs. He could not help but feel a killing intent.

Although Richard had died because of Yan Chong, and Yan Chong had witnessed many deaths, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to kill someone.

After practicing several times in his heart to ensure that he did not make any mistakes, Yan Chong held the dagger and stabbed the sleeping orc's eyes. The experience gained from the enhanced power and various close combat skills allowed the Pig Slaughtering Knife to fall from the sky like a stream of light without any error.

However, perhaps due to the sharp senses brought about by life and death battles since young, even though Yan Chong had hypnotized the sleeping orc, just as the dagger was about to pierce into him, his eyelids twitched as if he was about to wake up.

Yan Chong naturally noticed this, but he didn't hesitate at all. Instead, he erupted with an even greater force, causing the Excellent quality Pig Slaughtering Knife to pierce through the other party's brain without any obstruction.

At the same time, Yan Chong did not dare to relax at all. He held the knife handle that was revealed and twisted it a few times. The other party did not even make a sound. His body subconsciously twitched on the bed before he fell silent.

"Phew—

"That was close!"

Yan Chong slowly pulled out the dagger. It was indeed an Excellent weapon. Not a single drop of blood or brain matter was left on it. It was still cold and shiny like a mirror.

Recalling the other party's reaction, Yan Chong felt a lingering fear. "Indeed, it's right not to be rash. If there's no hypnosis, the other party will definitely wake up instantly and counterattack. And it's too difficult to hypnotize an awake enemy."

Although it was theoretically possible to fight someone of a higher cultivation level, that was only a rare occurrence. It was only possible if there were favorable conditions, geographical conditions, and people.

And this time, it had to be said that Yan Chong had relied on great luck and a small amount of strategy. He was lucky because the enemy he faced was sleeping soundly. As for strategy, it was a combination of the Dream Entry Spell and Hypnosis. Strictly speaking, it was not even considered a strategy.

In fact, if Yanchong was a senior mage, he might have been able to find the best solution the moment he descended. However, since he had just copied someone else's skill, he might be very proficient in using it alone, but it was not so harmonious when combined.

[Absorption]!

XP : +65.

The acquisition of XP caused a warm sensation to spread from his eyes to his entire body. It was as if he had done an eye exercise and his entire body had gone to a spa.

From the dream, Yan Chong obtained a lot of information. This was also thanks to the important pre-battle meeting of the Orc tribe. This allowed the orc to recall it even in his dreams. Otherwise, Yan Chong would have no idea.

This time, the Orc Alliance sent their tribe as the vanguard and launched a surprise attack on the town of Dawn, which had occupied the borders of the Maka Empire. This dead orc was the elite warrior of the tribe and was the leader of one of the small teams.

There were about eight or nine such elite warriors, and their strength should be around Grade C's. The tribal chiefs were stronger, but at most, they were Grade B's. Ordinary warriors had the strength of a Grade D Professional, with each captain commanding three to ten people. The remaining ordinary orcs in the tribe should have the strength of a Grade D Non-professional, but they were much stronger than ordinary humans.

The attack of the Orcs should have happened three months ago, within a few days after Yan Chong left. So now, the town was completely occupied by the people of this tribe. According to the Orcs's habits, the remaining residents of the town should have already become slaves.

There was no way to know more specific information. However, Yan Chong was quite satisfied to know so much information.

He placed his hand on the corpse and activated [Learning], but there was no reaction. Yan Chong shook his head regretfully. It seemed that the replication of bloodline and skills could only be used on living creatures.

Just now, his body and mind were extremely nervous, and he only had a single objective—to maintain silence while killing the other party, so he was unable to divert his attention to copy the other party's information.

"The main problem now is how to escape from the town. Even if I am unlucky and get caught by them, my life might not be in danger. I could return to Earth after the cooldown of the Transcendent Space Traverse skill ends."

After thinking about it, Yan Chong put away his dagger and rummaged through the room again. What made him happier was that besides a normal-quality heavy ax, which was too big and weighed about three to four hundred kilograms that he could not use, there was also a one-meter long machete that suited his taste.

Name: Dawn Saber

Quality: Normal +5

Description: Forged using Black Iron Cloud Pattern by Blacksmith Kane. This is worth it.

This machete was actually made by Kane. It was probably the spoils of war that this Orc captain had looted from the town and placed in his room as an ornament. And it benefitted Yan Chong.

The long saber weighed about five kilograms, and with Yan Chong's current power of 1.6, it was just right. Although he only learned swordsmanship skill, Yan Chong did not feel too unfamiliar with long sabers. It could not be said that it was like a sword that was an extension of his body, but it could be used flexibly. It would not be a problem if it could not hurt him.

Other than that, there were also some strange ornaments made of stone and wood that had a strong totemic feel to them. Yan Chong had no interest in collecting them after reading them.

The last valuable items were about ten silver coins and dozens of copper coins. "This is equivalent to about a thousand dollars, and one dollar is worth three yuan. Money is not omnipotent, but it is impossible without money."

After storing the silver and copper coins into the deepest part of his cloak, Yan Chong nodded in satisfaction.

Yan Chong pushed open the door gently and carefully looked out through the crack in the door. Fortunately, it was not as dramatic as he had imagined. That's true. Is there a need to assign two guards to a squad leader? That's too difficult.

The corridor was empty. Yan Chong tiptoed on the wooden floor. The floor was still stained with the aftermath of Sophia's earth-shattering fireball explosion. There were cracks everywhere, but it could still be used. However, it was a difficult technique to walk without making any noise.

At that moment, Yan Chong was shocked. He suddenly saw a figure slowly appear in the empty corridor.
