Chapter 43: The Life of a Mercenary
……
Liu Tian threw the short sword in his hand next to the rock, making a crisp metal collision sound, but Liu Tian couldn't rest now, although Liu Tian was already sweating profusely and his physical strength was exhausted.
There was only the last trace of the sunset left in the sky, and Liu Tian and the others had already reached the expected position, and even a little ahead, although it was still some distance away from the Crystal Beast Valley! For the sake of prudence, Gao Hao did not take everyone into the valley, but rested in this wasteland for one night.
Gao Hao is the head of a group, he has his power, but at the same time he also has to think about his five brothers. There are many crystal beasts in the Crystal Beast Valley, even in the outermost part, so they would rather sleep in the wilderness than go deeper, and even if they go deeper now, there may be a little risk.
The place where Liu Tian was now was only less than half an hour away from the Crystal Beast Valley, and it was much closer to Ruocheng. Liu Tian leaned against the rock, and the force in his body slowly recovered.
Gao Hao looked at the sky, and said to the people who were about to rest: "It's getting dark, you go pick up some dry firewood, eat something and then rest!"
Everyone also knew that now was not the time to rest, so after hearing Gao Hao's words, they all moved, and it was still easy to find a few firewood in this wasteland.
"Ryder, Lao Zhao, come here!" Gao Hao picked up the two backpacks and exhaled.
"Good!"
Ryder and Lao Zhao responded and stood up. The two of them are also the same as Gao Hao, they both carry a backpack, and these old partners can understand what they want to do with each other even if they don't speak.
The old Zhao in Gao Hao's mouth is naturally Xinming, they were people in a mercenary group before, and they have a good relationship, Gao Hao naturally knows Xinming's surname, but everyone usually calls him Xinming, he is not old. In addition, he has a relatively explosive temper, so only Gao Hao and Ryder can call him that.
Liu Tian rubbed the sore muscles on his legs, this half-day exercise not only exhausted his strength, but even his body became a little unbearable. However, it is rare for a young master in a family like him to be able to travel about 100 kilometers in most of the day.
Seeing Ryder and Xinming passing, Liu Tian turned to Wang Yan beside him and asked, "Brother Gao Hao, why did they go?" As he spoke, Liu Tian glanced at the three Gao Hao who were busy.
"Oh, Commander, they want to set some traps around this place to prevent anyone from sneaking up at night. Well, to be precise, it should be to prevent the sneak attack of the crystal beast, although there is still a short distance from the crystal beast valley here, but there are also crystal beasts wandering from time to time. "After all, Wang Yan has been in the hot-blooded mercenary group for a long time, and he doesn't want Liu Tian to be a novice, so he naturally knows this, and he is very clear about the caution of the head of Gao Hao.
Liu Tian nodded, he really didn't expect this matter. The place they chose to rest and reorganize was a small pit on low ground that was rare in the entire wasteland, surrounded by a few large rocks. The whole location looks pretty good in the middle of the moor, but it's so empty that there's not even a superfluous hiding place other than a few boulders. If something did sneak up on them at night, they probably wouldn't even have a place to hide.
I have to say that Gao Hao thought about it very comprehensively, and with these traps, they could also take a nap at night.
Liu Tian smiled bitterly and said sarcastically: "If I go out to practice alone, I'm afraid I will bury the beast's belly in minutes." ”
Wang Yan cried and said, "According to what you say, I'm afraid I'm already hanging in this wilderness, and I'm one level lower than your cultivation!"
"You have experienced a lot! It seems that I have to learn more, otherwise it will be a little dangerous to go out and practice in the future!" Liu Tian said this is true, although his cultivation is one level higher than Wang Yan, if the two of them compete, Liu Tian will win. But if you put the two in the wild at the same time, it is not known who will be able to hold out for a long time. Sometimes, experience is just as important.
Listening to Liu Tian's words, Wang Yan's hand that picked up the little wood suddenly stopped, and said to Liu Tian: "Xiao Tian, just take your time, let me teach you these things! Wang Yan was serious for only two seconds, and before he finished speaking, his eyebrows immediately danced, as if he had found some confidence.
Liu Tian rolled his eyes helplessly, lowered his head to pick up wood, this guy!
"Don't believe it!" Wang Yan just wanted to come over and pat Liu Tian, but his feet were weak and he suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Wang Li on the side saw this living treasure, and said helplessly: "Wang Yan, the regiment leader, their traps are almost arranged, what are you doing?"
As soon as Wang Li's words came out, Wang Yan suddenly became serious, and said with a smile: "Lizi, Xiaotian, my feet hurt, I rely on you." After finishing speaking, he immediately got up cross-legged, knotted the Dharma seal in his hand, and entered the cultivation state.
Wang Li and Liu Tian had to look at each other and smile bitterly, but the two also understood that as the person with the lowest cultivation in the group, in fact, Wang Yan's pressure was not small, and he was indeed a little too tired today. Before, they all entered the periphery of the valley to hunt crystal beasts by themselves, so there was no need to be in such a hurry. Liu Tian and Wang Li didn't bother Wang Yan, he should also reply to the force, they didn't stop for a day, the last paragraph didn't say that it was Wang Yan, even Liu Tian, who had advanced to the Eightfold Martial Arts Gathering, couldn't support it anymore.
Originally, I thought that I could pick up firewood in this wasteland, but who knew that there were not a few pieces of firewood in this wasteland at all, only some hay, and now it was dark, and everyone needed something to illuminate, so Liu Tian and the three of them had to carry a few bundles of dry grass over.
A fiery red star about half the size of a palm appeared on Ryder's forehead out of thin air, shining like a star, illuminating the night for a few minutes. Ryder stretched out his hand, only to see a few wisps of force like flames rushing out of his body, like a few fiery snakes, hidden in the grass, fiery red force jumping around. In the end, the fiery forces converge on one point.
Rumble!
Tongues of fire burst forth, and there was finally some light in the night.
Force has this use, and Liu Tian is not surprised. As long as a person enters the martial condensation period, the force can be released, and it is not difficult to do this, but the degree of control of the force in the first martial condensation period has actually reached this level, but it is far beyond the people of the same level.
Gao Hao took out a few pieces of dry food from a backpack and handed them to everyone one by one, but when the cake was handed to Liu Tian, Gao Hao said with some embarrassment: "Xiaotian, there is only ...... today."
Liu Tian knew what Gao Hao wanted to say, it was just because he was the little young master of the Liu clan. The corners of Liu Tian's eyes wrinkled slightly, it was indeed not as good as he imagined, and there was indeed a barrier between them, Liu Tian didn't say anything, just looked at Gao Hao.
Gao Hao's blue eyes and their depth seem to contain something. Gao Hao didn't dare to question and stared at Liu Tian's deep blue eyes, Liu Tian's pupils seemed to be emitting light, enough to penetrate everything.
Gao Hao coughed bitterly, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and handed the dry food to Liu Tian. Seeing Gao Hao coming down naturally, Liu Tian also smiled.
"Commander, give me saliva!" crossed the fire in an arc, as if he had received something precious, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Slow down, look at your cowardice!"
Liu Tian snatched the kettle that was passed around in everyone's hands, and hurriedly poured a few sips, Wang Yan pounced and snatched the kettle from Liu Tian's hand, but not a drop of water dripped out.
Wang Yan pursed his lips, looked around, and scolded with a smile: "A bunch of livestock!"
Hahaha!
Gao Hao and Ryder looked at the few people active in the group on the side, and couldn't help but smile at each other, it would be good if the mercenary group kept being alive like this.
Liu Tian leaned close to everyone, looking at the stars gradually appearing in the sky, and a few breezes blew from time to time, which was very pleasant. At the end of the day, it's only now the easiest time to come. This is the life of a mercenary!
"Rest quickly! I'm going to be on my way tomorrow morning, and I'm on duty tonight!"
There were only a few flames left on the fire, and although the nocturnal crystal beasts were afraid of fire at night, the flames at night would also attract crystal beasts. Gao Hao naturally knew this, stood up and extinguished the flames, lifted a heavy sword and leaned cross-legged against the rock beside him.
Everyone knew that Gao Hao was stubborn, and he didn't shirk it, and they all began to cultivate with the magic seal in their hands, so that the force in the body became full.
The same is true for Liu Tian, the ice dragon is entrenched in the French seal, when everyone in the group sees the ice dragon, they all gasp, rich people are rich people, and the martial arts they cultivate are the highest two grades of human level, and they are still in a low-level position. But looking at the effect of Liu Tian's cultivation, it really can't be compared.
The surprise was only for a moment, and then the five people in the group faintly felt a little lucky, and also felt a little incredible, a little young master like Xiang Liu Tian, would actually go on a mission with a little mercenary like them at this time.
Everyone smiled almost at the same time, meaningfully. After that, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate, only Gao Hao took a nap from time to time, while subconsciously observing the little wind and grass around him.
The stars were shining in the night sky, constantly changing their positions, and in a hidden place not far from Liu Tian and the others, several black images were talking about something.
The night was too dark, like ink. I saw that several people were all wearing black robes, which made them better conceal in the surrounding environment, and one person lowered his body and moved a few steps, saying:
"Captain, they seem to be asleep!"
"It's time to do it!" one of them reminded again.
In front of everyone, a big man was frowning in the dark, and his face under the black robe was extremely solemn, as if he was thinking about something. After listening to the urging of the two, Dahan lowered his voice and said: "Last time, the young master asked me and Lie Jin to find an opportunity to secretly kill Liu Tian in the back mountain, but he disappeared for no reason, so this time, you can't act rashly, wait a while!"
This big man in the dark was a black-robed man who wanted to sneak attack Liu Tian in the back mountain, but the Lie Jin in his mouth didn't seem to come. Dahan's memory seems to have returned to the back mountain, of course, he doesn't know where Liu Tian went at that time. If he told him that Liu Tian had entered another dimension, he would definitely be shocked!
After about ten minutes, the big man finally raised his hand, and the face hidden under the black robe became more and more hideous, and the words in the big man's mouth were hoarse one by one, as if he had wandered from hell once. "None left, on!"
Dahan knew that he and Lie Jin did not succeed last time, and as a result, he was greatly punished, and Lie Jin's experience told him that as a lucky person, he could only succeed this time.
About nine figures bent down and walked forward slowly, the big knife in their hands was already glowing with a cold light, and even the sound of footsteps became very small.
Looking at the side of the hot-blooded mercenary group, Gao Hao is napping from time to time, although he is a quadruple martial arts condensation period, he will also be tired, but it is better than Liu Tian and others. Gao Hao said before that he was on duty, so he didn't cultivate, you know, generally when cultivating, his own perception will become low. Except, of course, when you advance.
The magic seal in Liu Tian's hand kept emitting a faint blue light, and from time to time there was a cold air, and one after another force was sucked into the martial sea.
And the nine figures were only a few hundred meters away from them.
"Remember, you must kill Liu Tian first!" the big man frowned and reminded in a deep voice again.
