"Bastard, sneak attack!" the mercenary leader shouted, beckoning his companions to rush towards the Ayton Five.

"Hmph, you dare to rob us of things, it's just looking for death," Ariel said coldly, not to be outdone, and Ayton bypassed Ravel and rushed towards the mercenaries.

2nd Order Magic 'Winding'

Ravel secretly said something was wrong, and released two Dao Wood vines to wrap around the mercenary leader who rushed towards him in front of him. He didn't expect that it would be his own side that took the lead, and he didn't want to have a dispute

"Hmph, it's only second-order magic, go die," the mercenary leader shouted, injecting fighting energy into the blade of the sword, and slashed at the vines with a sword, but was surprised to find that he didn't cut it with a sword.

Ravel snorted softly, wrapping the vine around his ankle.

"Help me!" Finger shouted, and the two companions next to him immediately slashed down at the vine, only to find that they couldn't cut either. Although the entanglement is only a second-order magic, the releaser is a fifth-order great magician, and the strength is definitely not comparable to that of a second-order intermediate magician.

"Thrust!" Ravel clenched his right hand into a fist, and the vines immediately sprouted barbs and stabbed into the flesh of the mercenary leader.

"Ahhh

"His vines are very strange, and they pour all their fighting energy into the blade of the sword, don't be stingy," the mercenary leader said grimly.

The two companions met, and formed a situation surrounded by him on three sides, ready to rush towards Ravel again. But a scream from both sides caught their attention.

I saw that Ayton and Ariel were beating the two mercenaries they were facing without fighting back, and one of them had already been killed by Ariel and Ayton. Now there are three of them and seven more people who can fight.

"Bastard, deal with this wood mage first" Looking at his companion's death... One move, Finger was furious, but it was more of fear, he still knew the strength of his companions, and he could be pressed and beaten by these two young men and women, and the other party was definitely not simple.

"Come on" Ravel was also surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the third-order high-level warrior on his side was actually strong. However, he still dragged these three people first, they were all fourth-order powerhouses, especially the mercenary leader was actually a fourth-order peak strength, which added up to make him, an early fifth-order magician, a little difficult.

Third-Order Fighting Skill 'Flame Slash'

Finger let out a loud cry, and flames erupted on the blade.

'Fire Slash'!

Red flames erupted from the blade of Finger's sword, and a sword slashed at the flying vines, and he actually cut it off directly with a sword, he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that the third-order combat skill [Flame Slash] that he had bought for more than 500 gold coins was still somewhat useful.

In the terrestrial world, few people can learn high-level combat skills, especially some mercenaries from civilian backgrounds, and they can only learn by spending a lot of gold to buy some fighting skill cheats.

"Die," the three mercenaries rushed towards Ravel in unison.

Ravel secretly said that it was not good, this kind of fire attack was very restrained by his wood magic, just like water magic restrained fire magic.

A yellowish halo of 'sluggishness' shone on Finger's head, slowing him down by a point. At the same time, two more streams reached their ears, and two more third-order mercenaries fell in a pool of blood, leaving only two fourth-order powerhouses struggling to support them.

"Kill him first, quick!" Feeling the heaviness of his body, the mercenary leader shouted loudly, but he regretted it in his heart, but they were now in a situation where they were not dying.

Double 'Winding'

But how could a fifth-order wood-based mage let two fourth-order warriors get close to each other, wood-based mages are one point worse than other magicians in terms of attack power, but in terms of control ability, wood-based magic is definitely the strongest of all kinds of magic.

The two mercenaries were entangled in the heavy vines, and they looked at the vines around them in a panic, but the vines were so tough, and there were 5 or 6 of them, they couldn't cut them at all.

"There will be no mercy this time," Ravel said coldly, then clenched his hands into fists.

'Vine Strangulation'

"Ah......hh Help" The faces of the two mercenaries changed, a vine wrapped around their necks along their chests, they seemed to be in great pain, their necks were strangled tightly, their faces were flushed, and they wanted to call for help but couldn't scream.

Finally, with a click, their cervical vertebrae broke and they lost their breath completely.

The horrific deaths of his two companions frightened Finger completely, and he broke free of his sluggishness and rushed towards Ravel as fast as he could, he had to kill Ravel at the moment when his spell paused, or he would never have a chance again.

'Ice Spearmanship'

Suddenly, an ice spear technique passed by the half-elf, but was narrowly avoided by the mercenary leader, but this dodge gave Ravel time to retreat, and while he retreated, did he stop and release a few entanglements to drag him down, trying to prepare a little water magic for Lan Coco, his wood magic was too severely restrained.

"Bastard" Finger cursed in his heart, but he was helpless, just begging those two fourth-order warriors to delay a little longer.

"Brother, let's kill the enemy first this time" During the battle, Ariel playfully said to Ayton.

"Okay," Ayton responded, just now the two of them almost solved their opponents at the same time, and in the end it was a fourth-order warrior, which was relatively difficult.

"Okay, the loser has to promise the winner a condition" A strange smile appeared on the corner of Ariel's mouth, and then a red light flashed in her eyes, and her speed instantly increased by one point.

"Hey, you didn't say you had a request" Ayton took advantage of the mercenary's mistake, leaving a small wound in his shoulder.

"It's late!" Ariel lunged straight at the mercenary, dodging his attack as soon as he slashed at herself.

"Die!" A sword slashed at his neck, instantly slashing the mercenary into a near-death state, if it weren't for the fact that he had just unloaded part of his strength sideways, with the sharpness of the Nether Sword, his neck would have been cut off directly.

The mercenary clutched the blood gushing out of his neck, looking at Ariel's sudden red pupils in disbelief, as if asking why you were suddenly so fast, but the blood was already pouring down his throat.

With a pop, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell to the ground heavily.

Ayton sighed helplessly, and took advantage of the moment when he injured his arm to launch a stormy attack and successfully killed him.

"How is it, brother?" said Ariel after killing the mercenary.

Since Ariel had been deliberately turning her back to Ravel, most of Ravel's attention was also focused on the mercenary leader, so the red eyes were not exposed.

"You've won, but be careful next time," Ayton whispered, quietly pulling out the Dark Orb on his chest to recast a 'disguise' for Ariel, covering her exposed red eyes again.

"Oh" Ariel agreed casually, and then killed the mercenary who was first hit in the leg by the blue coco magic with a sword, and there was no one to take care of the poor injured mercenary just now, it seems that the relationship between this group of mercenaries is not as harmonious as Ayton thought.

"Surrender," Ravel said lightly, knowing that the last two of his companions had died, and Finger attacked more violently.

After attacking with all his might, Finger finally found that with the water magician there, it was impossible for him to break through the defense of the wood magician, he gritted his teeth, did not speak, turned around and ran in the other direction.

"I want to go!" Ariel said coldly, and was about to chase after the man, but Ayton tapped her on the shoulder.

"Don't go, it's going to take too long to catch up with him, and we're going to have to hunt that undead dragon."

With Ariel's speed, it should still be possible to catch up with a fourth-order peak ordinary mercenary, but it will take time, and this battle just now has wasted too much.

"Hmm" Ariel nodded obediently and let out a long breath. For some reason, the pleasure of killing just now made her feel a lot easier.

Ravel took a deep look at Ayton and Ariel, and said softly, "Let's keep walking, it's still far from the valley infested by the undead dragon."

He can't understand these two people at all now, generally only very bloodthirsty people will think of killing people as a fun thing, simple and kind people will feel an extreme discomfort after killing, such as Lan Coco and Yiluli who are uncomfortable behind him. And Ayton and Ariel obviously belong to the former, and they can still talk and laugh when they kill people.

But the purpose of their coming here is to earn gold coins to help the forest elves, and there is a kind forest elf in the team, which is extremely inconsistent with their demeanor when fighting. He still chose to hold back the incomprehension in his heart, not wanting to ask more, anyway, as long as he could fulfill his mother's last wish, what could he do if he didn't ask.

......

On the other side, Finger ran wildly with his back to the Pingxi Mountains all the way until his fighting spirit was almost exhausted.

"Damn, bastard" Finger looked back and cursed in his mouth, he was really a little afraid that the woman would catch up, the general mercenaries were ambushed by their peers in the wild, and if they accidentally let some people on the losing side escape, they would definitely come back with crazy revenge in secret, so it was best for the mercenaries to leave all the other party behind when they fought.

This is the case with Finger at this time, swearing all kinds of foul language in his mouth to hide his fear, and at the same time secretly thinking about how to return to the mercenary guild and accuse those five of how they brutally killed their blazing mercenary group.

"Stop" a cold voice came out, interrupting Finger's thoughts.

Finger frowned, and secretly cursed in his heart that his luck was really bad today: "What do you want to do, our team was ambushed by others just now, and I survived alone, and now I have no property on me, if you don't believe it, you can ......"

"Not that question," one of the leaders interrupted him, and asked in a deep voice, "Have any of you found any traces of the undead dragon?"

As soon as he heard that he was just asking for news, Finger suddenly relieved himself and glanced at the more than 30 mercenaries who surrounded him. I felt a little strange in my heart, their expressions were calm and orderly, not at all like impatient mercenaries.

"Not long after we arrived, we didn't even see the shadow of the dragon, and we were brutally murdered by a team of 5 people, and there were three women among them, ...... appearance," Finger said hatefully, deliberately discrediting Ayton and his party.

"Haven't seen it, have you?" interrupted Madifen again unceremoniously, he didn't have time to waste on a mercenary who didn't know about it.

“.... Yes"

The feeling of being despised made Finger very unhappy, but he nodded anyway.

Suddenly, before he could react, a sword light slashed across his neck.

The head rolled to the ground, and his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that the other party had killed him like this.

Without warning...

"Continue the mission," Madifen said coldly, and the group walked neatly in the direction of Ayton, without glancing at the headless corpse on the ground.

One of the strongest mercenary groups in the so-called Land of Thorns, it was wiped out like this.....
