I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

With two buzzing sounds, the giant sword shook and flew back to the old man's hand.

The old man smiled kindly, "I'm really sorry, young man. I didn't rush to take action just now because I wanted to catch this thief. I let you hold his hand for a while. It should be okay, right?"

"Thank you for your help, I'm fine." Yuan Feng responded politely.

No matter what, the other party saved my life, so I should still be polite to him.

"It's really inappropriate to say thank you. If I have to thank anyone, it's me. You saved my young lady, which is why you ended up in this situation."

It turned out to be the bodyguard of the girl just now. Yuan Feng then understood. No wonder he was so polite to him for no reason.

"Let's put it this way. I will remember your kindness in saving my life and will definitely repay you in the future."

Hou Chixiao smiled indifferently. With his Golden Core cultivation, why would he need the repayment from a young Qi-refining boy? He just thought that the other party was just acting in a momentary impulse and did not take it to heart.

"Young man, this place is dangerous, you'd better leave as soon as possible. I still need to protect my young lady, so I can't stay for long. I really can't protect you for too long."

"Thank you for your concern, I'm leaving now."

Of course Yuan Feng had to leave. He valued his life more than anyone else. If there was any danger, he would run away on his own without anyone reminding him.

After he finished speaking, before he could say goodbye to the other person, the other person had disappeared.

Yuan Feng lowered his head and glanced at the corpse on the ground.

Before leaving, take the spoils first. There is such a big storage bag hanging around the corpse's waist, it would be a waste not to take it.

Yuan Feng picked up the storage bag without checking it. When he looked up, he found that the cave was a bit deep, which made him a little troubled.

The hole that the master had opened with his sword just now was not very wide, and it was a bit difficult for one person to crawl out. He could only take out his flying sword and dig it out bit by bit.

After great effort, he finally climbed up.

"Duhui is dead?"

Just as I was about to get out of the pit, a deep voice suddenly came from above my head.

"Ah."

Yuan Feng thought that the old man had come back and responded subconsciously.

After I finished responding, I realized that this voice was not the old man's. It was much younger and not as loud as the old man's.

I looked up suddenly and saw a man in black clothes, with a slender figure and a bandaged face.

"Are you Tuhui's new follower?" the strange man in black asked again.

"Ah... yes." Yuan Feng realized that the man in black in front of him seemed to be an accomplice of the corpse underground, so he took advantage of the situation and responded.

"Please tell me your code name."

"Code name?"

"You don't even know your own code name? Or..."

"There is a code name..." Yuan Feng's mind worked quickly, "Jiu Shi, code name Jiu Shi."

The man in black took out a booklet, flipped through it a few times, turned to the last page, and nodded:

"Well, one of the shadow followers that Tu Hui has developed has your code name. This Tu Hui is really useless. He is already the ninth shadow follower and still hasn't taken down his target."

The man in black glanced at the dead body in the cave and said, "It's better to be dead. This kind of trash is also a burden in the shadow team. It's just that it's a bit troublesome without the shadow team in charge of this area."

Yuan Feng didn't dare to speak and let the other party talk to himself. Of course, he could kill the other party directly with the feather.

But feathers are so precious, they are a treasure that can save your life in a pinch. Now it seems that I can use someone else's trick and save the feathers, but I'd better wait and see what happens.

"Oh, I got it. Your realm is a little bit lower, but we at Qianying don't care much about this. You can be the acting shadow team leader in this area. If you do well, I will apply to you and make you a regular employee." The man in black pointed at Yuanfeng and said.

"Me?" Yuan Feng also pointed at himself, "Isn't it inappropriate? I'm a newcomer and I don't know anything."

"How can you not know anything? Tu Hui developed you into a shadow and assassinated the Grand Master, right?"

“I haven’t started learning yet.”

"What about Shadow Escape? This is the key skill of our Shadow Warriors. The first thing every newcomer does when entering Shadow Warriors is to learn Shadow Escape."

"I didn't have the time to learn this. Just when I was about to learn it, he was stabbed to death by someone from Team Shadow." Yuan Feng pretended to be scared.

"I see. Did you see who killed Dust just now?"

"I didn't see it. A sword flew over. Team Shadow and I didn't see it clearly, and Team Shadow was gone."

What Yuan Feng said was all true, except that he did not mention the second half when talking to the old man.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter how you die. Since you are a newcomer who knows nothing and your direct shadow team has died, I, as a shadow player, still have the responsibility to guide you."

As he spoke, the man in black took out a small piece of gold and threw it to Yuan Feng.

Yuan Feng stared at the gold flakes in his hand, bewildered.

"What are you waiting for? Learn the Shadow Escape technique." The man in black said impatiently.

"Oh." Yuan Feng did not dare to delay and quickly probed his spiritual sense into it. A bunch of mysterious knowledge immediately flooded up.

Shadow Escape... He learned Shadow Escape, a magical escape technique.

Able to sneak into the darkness and move in the shadows.

Only at this moment did Yuan Feng realize that the man codenamed Tuhui used this escape technique to pull himself into the ground.

Tuhui has mastered Shadow Escape to perfection. Only when he has mastered it can he pull others into the shadow.

What surprised Yuan Feng was that after absorbing the knowledge of Shadow Escape from the golden piece, the golden color of the golden piece faded and turned into a simple piece of stone.

The man in black saw Yuan Feng's curiosity and said, "This thing is made of a gold-recognizing stone. The stored skills are one-time. Once the skills are absorbed, they will disappear and turn into ordinary stone. The organization uses this material because they are afraid that Shadow Escape, the secret skill of the latent shadow, will be leaked."

Are you sure it's not to save money?

Yuan Feng always felt that this one-time item would be a lot cheaper.

After Yuan Feng had completely digested Shadow Escape, the man in black waved at him and said, "Bring the dusty things here."

Yuan Feng knew that the storage bag he was talking about was something he had just obtained. It was a bit of a pity that he had to hand it over before it even got warm, but he handed it over anyway.

"I know you're unwilling, but there are many of our secrets in Tuhui's storage bag. With your level, you can't access them yet. It would be harmful rather than beneficial if you do."

"I understand, I understand." Yuan Feng nodded repeatedly. He was very satisfied with having learned a technique of escape in vain. Now he only wanted to escape safely.

"You can't touch other things, but you can take this dagger." The man in black picked out an ink-red dagger from the storage bag and threw it to Yuan Feng.

"This dagger is called Blood-Destroying. It is a precious treasure made of meteorite iron. Needless to say, it is extremely sharp. This dagger has killed countless people and has become a blood poison. Anyone below the Nascent Soul stage has no skills. If you dare to let this blood poison enter your body, you will die within an incense stick of time."

So scary?

Yuan Feng glanced at the dagger in his hand and couldn't help feeling a little scared. If he accidentally cut his hand, he would be dead.

"Since you have the blood poison, you must also take the antidote for the blood poison, otherwise you will cut yourself and it will be bad."

Yuan Feng took the antidote prescription...it turned out there was an antidote, now he felt much more relieved.

"The materials for this antidote are not cheap, so don't cut yourself for fun." The man in black warned seriously.

Yuan Feng was speechless. He was not a lunatic. Why would he cut himself for no reason? This reminder was a bit unnecessary.

"Okay, I can't give you the rest. I have nothing else to teach you. The next step is to lie low and wait for the mission assigned by the organization."

"Hey...what about assassination techniques?" Yuan Feng suddenly felt a little dissatisfied after having already obtained such a good escape technique as Shadow Escape.

"You can Shadow Escape, and you have a powerful weapon like Blood Suppression. What other skills do you need? Just come out of the shadows and stab people with your own skills."

The man in black thought about it and decided that it was not appropriate to put a newcomer here.

"How about this, the raven above is the raven in your area. I will let it assist you. It also knows some techniques of using a dagger, so just let it teach you."

Turns out that was a raven... Yuan Feng thought it was a crow, no wonder it was so big.

Ravens and crows are different. If you want to know the difference, ravens are bigger and smarter.

But no matter how smart you are, you can’t be your own teacher, right?

Yuan Feng was thinking this when a raven flew down the next second and he became nervous.

The raven spoke in human language: "What do you want me to do?"
