Wang Pingfan looked at the performance of everyone after listening, some people were indifferent, and some people were very concerned about comforting, but Wang Pingfan felt that those who went up to comfort were just trying to get close to each other and wanted to join the other party's family, after all, most of the mercenaries were all loose cultivators, and there was no strong force behind them, so they could only come to be mercenaries to make money, they were all thinking that if they could have a good relationship with this girl, they might be able to join the other party's family, after all, it was not easy to have a place in the Tianfeng Empire.

Wang Pingfan didn't talk much with them along the way, after all, no one knew anyone, but a few of them were also the same as Wang Pingfan who were assessed mercenaries for the first time, and everyone chatted very openly, unlike the twenty old mercenaries who had already had several experiences, they were all very vigilant, and they had obviously experienced several dangers.

A few of them came to talk to Wang Pingfan, but Wang Pingfan didn't pay much attention to them, and the other party didn't say anything, so they all walked away, among these people, to be honest, Wang Pingfan's eyes were not high, and he didn't think he could join his mercenary team, although his current strength was not very good.

A week later...

The old mercenary who knew the way said in front, "Everyone, be careful, we are about to leave the Wild Bull Kingdom and enter the Black Wind Mountains. ”

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the mountains in front of them were connected, and the top of the mountain was all covered with dark clouds, and from time to time there were thunderbolts scurrying in them, and they didn't know what kind of creatures could live in this mountaintop, and they had to guard against the thunder and lightning falling from the sky at all times.

At this time, the old man who was leading the way in front said, "Everyone, there is still an hour to go, we will arrive at the place where the medicinal herb is, please prepare for battle, although there are still two months before the medicinal herb matures, it is likely that some demon beasts have been attracted by now." ”

Everyone also nervously picked up the weapons in their hands, and only a few people were like Wang Pingfan, who did not have weapons in their hands, obviously practicing fist and foot kung fu, and did not need to use weapons.

Sure enough, as the old man expected, when everyone approached, they found that more than a dozen demon beasts had gathered around, and there were corpses of other demon beasts around, obviously after a battle.

This is a group of giant claw bears, the strength is not very high, the strongest leader is only in the realm of five-star martial artists, and the others are also in the realm of martial artists, but in the face of Wang Pingfan's group of people, it is really not enough to see, they rushed up together with twenty or thirty people, and in just one wave, these dozen giant claw bears were all killed.

The most valuable thing about this giant claw bear, in addition to its demon core, is his pair of giant claws, this is still very valuable equipment for creating second-order magic weapons, and soon someone removed this pair of giant claws from them.

This is the two-meter-tall strong man who asked the question before walked out from among the mercenaries and said, "Everyone, I have already asked the employer just now, the loot we got this time includes the demon beasts we killed later, and they don't know all of them, so I propose that whoever kills the demon beasts will own whoever gets it, and there should be no competition, and even a big deal for the loot." ”

After hearing this, everyone also agreed, indeed, in the face of a group of people who did not know each other, no one could give their own gains to others, nor could they let others rob them of the prey they killed, so the distribution was the best, and no one could be blamed for those who did not do it and could not share the spoils.

Wang Pingfan also killed a giant claw bear just now, and he was the only one among the ten assessment mercenaries who killed the giant claw bear, although the other nine also fought, but they didn't kill a giant bear, first, because of their own strength, and second, because the other old mercenaries were too fast.

Wang Pingfan skillfully picked up the demon core of the giant clawed bear and stuffed it into his backpack, but in fact, he put it into his storage ring, and the pair of giant claws were really put in the backpack and not in the ring.

After cleaning up all the things around, Wang Pingfan looked at the girl's side, only to see a fist-sized fruit growing on the ground, and it also emitted a faint red light, Wang Pingfan was a little surprised, because he knew this fruit.

He had turned over books about medicinal materials in the Alchemist Guild before, this is a fourth-order fruit called the Red Blood Fruit, which is the material for refining the four-star pill Red Blood Pill, of course, it can also be taken directly, but the effect is a little worse, looking at the red light on the red blood fruit, it is estimated that it will be able to mature in less than two months.

At this time, the girl gathered everyone around again, and said to everyone, "Next, we will set up a small defensive formation here, and please help me." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but they didn't expect that this girl would be able to arrange the formation, so their safety and security could be improved a lot.

I saw that the girl waved one hand, and a number of compasses appeared on the ground, and then someone found that the girl actually had a storage ring on her hand, which was very rare, and then the old man next to him said, "Please take these compasses, place them in the position I designated, and then listen to my command to input spiritual power." ”

There are a total of ten compasses on this ground, and soon everyone is divided into ten groups, three people take a compass to the place that the old man said, and bury the compass in the soil, under the command of the old man, there are ten people who inject spiritual power into the compass, only to see that these ten compasses are connected to each other, the old man walked to the middle, and took out a compass from his arms and shouted, only to see that a green light shot out of this compass and the other ten compasses echoed, which should form a protective shield, covering everyone in it.

Some of them were very surprised and went up to touch the protective cover, Wang Pingfan also went up and touched the protective cover, almost close to the defense of the realm of Wuhou, it should be a second-order top-level defensive formation, and the core of this formation has been arranged in these eleven compasses, as long as someone places it in the designated position can be opened, it is still very convenient, but it takes ten people to maintain spiritual power, and only needs to start the prevention at night, during the day, most people are awake, and there is no need to open this defensive formation。

Soon nearly two months have passed, and the position they are in is indeed very remote, in these two months, no one has been seen, and there are not many demon beasts, and the total number of demon beasts has only met twenty waves, and there are not many powerful demon beasts, and the only few demon beasts that have reached the level of martial arts have been solved directly by the old man as soon as they appeared, until now thirty-two people, no one has been killed or injured, and the red blood fruit is about to ripen soon, and everyone also shows the joy that this mission is about to be completed.

However, the closer he got to the red blood fruit, the more uneasy Wang Pingfan's heart became, because there had been no demon beasts coming for nearly a week recently, which was very abnormal, it should be that there should be more demon beasts, but no, not only him, but also several other mercenaries felt a trace of unusual taste.

Especially in the past few days, those demon beasts have just looked at here from a distance and have not stepped forward, as if they are waiting for something, but those who can know this, except for Wang Pingfan and the old man, it is estimated that no one can see so far.
