Chapter Twenty-Four: Mercenary Squad Zero
On a winding path through a barren mountain range, two women, five men and seven figures walked together, going to the depths of the mountains and forests that were far away from people.
This line of seven people is none other than Red Feather Fei's mercenary team with Ying Ziyu.
After a trivial fight, Ying Ziyu finally got the approval of Hongyu and was allowed by her to join the operation.
After they came out of the east gate of Crescent Moon City, they hurried all the way to the deep mountain wilderness infested with powerful demon beasts.
On the way, Xiao Bin finally couldn't hold back his loneliness, and came to Ying Ziyu and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, I didn't expect you to easily break Boss Tang's mountain shield, and shoot through the copper shield he is proud of with only three arrows!"
Da Bin saw that his younger brother had started his head, and hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes, yes! That bronze shield was forged by me with a lot of effort, but it was pierced by your three arrows, I have never seen an arrow as handsome as you!"
At this time, Ling Yi felt that after the previous two literary and artistic voices, he should show his reserve and uniqueness by being silent at this time, so he did not come over.
Bai Bai had been walking beside Ying Ziyu all the time, and at this time he also asked Ying Ziyu curiously: "What was the golden pattern that appeared in front of you at that time?
Ying Ziyu shook his head and said, "That's a magic art I practiced, not a spirit skill. I'm not a god, and I'm not a martial artist. β
"I see!"
Da Bin and Xiao Bin nodded in unison.
At this time, Ying Ziyu noticed that the big man Tang Wen was walking alone without saying a word.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Ying Ziyu as he walked up to him.
Tang Wen suddenly raised his head when he heard this, as if he was taken aback.
When Tang Wen saw Ying Ziyu's bewitching face, he hurriedly grinned: "No... Nope!"
At this time, Da Bin and Xiao Bin also came around.
Xiao Bin smiled and said: "Boss Tang, the defense has been broken, stupid! The four iron arrows didn't let you put down your shield, and the next sentence made you disarm and surrender at the last moment!"
Tang Wenyan's rough and dark face suddenly turned red.
Bai Bai patted Xiaobin on the shoulder at this time, and said with a smile: Then if you use that copper shield, how many arrows will you have to take before you are intimidated by that sentence?"
"This ......," Xiaobin stammered.
"The way of guarding, you should not only look behind the shield, you should look ahead. There's never a defense, it's all about how you stop attacking before you break your defenses! That's probably what you and the rest of your team used to be: you raise your shield for them, and they hold your sword for you. Before your shield is broken, their swords pierce into the enemy's body. It's not that you're protecting them, it's that you're protecting each other!"
Ying Ziyu said nothing to Tang Wenyan, no more, and hurried by himself.
Tang Wen's eyes flickered, and for the first time, he began to think about himself.
At this time, Bai Bai stretched out his finger and poked his arm, and asked in a low voice, "Boss Tang, are you okay?"
Tang Wen shook his head first, and then sighed: "She has a deep understanding of things, and she gives people the feeling that she is very thoughtful!"
Then Xiaobin put his head in front of Tang Wen and said shyly, "She is indeed very different, I am afraid that I will not be able to meet more beautiful than her in this life!"
Dabin rarely agreed with his younger brother's point of view, nodded and said, "That's true!"
In order to show that he was a clear stream among the men in the team, Ling Yi still did not join them in the discussion.
The team continued on until the vegetation was so dense that it almost blocked the way like a high green wall, leaving them with no way out.
At this time, Hong Yufei, who was walking in the forefront, said to everyone in her somewhat sharp but incomparably crisp voice: "Rest in place!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, originally thinking that their eldest sister wanted them to go all the way to the destination and fight to the death with the demon beast!
Ying Ziyu walked to Bai Bai who was sitting on the bluestone and sat down, and the latter took a sip of the water in the kettle and then puffed out his mouth and handed the kettle to Ying Ziyu.
Ying Ziyu shook her head to show that she was not thirsty, and asked her instead, "How long have you been joining this mercenary team?"
In vain, he replied: "Three months!"
Ying Ziyu was surprised: "The time is so short?"
Bai Bai shrugged his small shoulders and said helplessly: "The name of the mercenary team is "Zero", and Sister Fei spent five hundred gold coins to register in the Mercenary Guild half a year ago. Boss Tang was the first to join the group, followed by Da Bin and Xiao Bin, and Ling Yi joined a month earlier than me. β
Ying Ziyu frowned when he heard this.
According to what you say, these people are just stragglers who have been put together in a short period of time, and more often than not, they will be self-centered and unable to really cooperate tacitly.
As if he knew what Ying Ziyu was thinking, he said to him with a bitter face: "This is also a matter of no way, although it costs a lot of gold to register a mercenary team, there are still no less than three thousand mercenary teams in the guild." They're also trying their best to pull people in, and it's good that Zero can get six members together in a few months. If you have tacit understanding and cooperation, I believe that everyone has been doing tasks together for a long time, and it will gradually come to you. β
Ying Ziyu nodded casually.
At this time, the red feather fei, who had been far away from him, suddenly walked up to him with a dark face, looked at him condescendingly, and then sat down next to him under Ying Ziyu's stunned gaze.
"I'm asking Zero!"
Red Feather Fei said as she used a twig to pick up the dirt stuck to her red boots.
Ying Ziyu nodded at her, and then asked her, "How many missions has Zero completed since its establishment?"
"Team or individual?" asked Red Feather nonchalantly.
"What's the difference?" Ying Ziyu didn't know anything about this.
"So you're really just a rookie!" Red Feather didn't have a small mouth before explaining, "But whenever a bounty task is completed, there will be a bounty reputation: personal tasks are taken by individuals, and the bounty reputation obtained after completion can only be increased to individuals." Team tasks are taken by the leader of the mercenary team, and the reputation points obtained after completing the task will be evenly distributed to each member of the team. β
"I see!" Ying Ziyu nodded suddenly.
"One of the benefits of joining a mercenary squad is that it allows the team to help each other with missions. There is no count of how many individual tasks have been completed since the establishment of Zero, but only three team tasks have been completed!"
"So little?" Ying Ziyu was stunned.
Red Feather Fei immediately sneered when he saw Ying Ziyu's reaction: "There is no difficulty level limit for individual tasks, but the minimum level for team tasks is three stars. To be sure, Zero has received a total of four team missions, and the three tasks of hunting demon beasts have been successfully completed, only the four-star mission is too difficult and is still on hold. β
"Then why don't you directly increase the prestige of all members of the team task with Samsung, and waste time to take on individual tasks?" Ying Ziyu was puzzled, "Individual tasks can only increase the prestige of the task recipient, although team help can speed up the progress, but after all, it is slower than the prestige of team tasks!"
"Hehe!" Red Feather Fei felt more and more that Ying Ziyu was an idiot, "You can think of anything else you can think of." But there are only so many low-level missions, and there are thousands of mercenary squads. Haven't you heard of wolves with more meat and less meat?"
Ying Ziyu also felt a little naΓ―ve when she heard her say this. In this world, there will never be a shortage of people who want to cut corners.
"Our target this time is the Earthquake Thunder Mountain Tiger of Tiger Leaping Gorge, a four-rank demon beast. If I can obtain a fourth-grade demon seal from it, I can break through the bottleneck of the Orange Purple Rank Divine Barrier and become a Yellow Spirit Master!"
Hong Yufei said, and there was also a hint of yearning in the pair of gloomy gray eyes, "Then I can change the status quo!"
"How to change?" Ying Ziyu wondered.
Red Feather Fei glanced at Ying Ziyu meaningfully, his thin lips hooked slightly, and he still smiled very darkly: "You'll know when the time comes!"
After Hong Yufei finished speaking, the dirt on her leather boots was also cleaned up by her, and she saw that she threw away the branches in her hands, stood up from Ying Ziyu's side and said to Donald and the four: "Let's continue to hurry! Tiger Leaping Gorge will not be far from crossing this mountain!"
"Let's go!"
Ling Yi said lightly, deliberately taking a long detour and walking coldly in front of Ying Ziyu. The back is shouting at the corresponding fish: You are a rose that I pass by on my way, and I am just a passerby in your life!
Such a profound back language Ying Ziyu naturally couldn't read, so he could only look at the back of that guy and feel a unique aura that belonged to the snake spirit man.
At this time, Hong Yufei turned to Ziyu and said: "What you have to do in this mission is to protect this little girl next to you, she is the only auxiliary cultivator in our team, her cultivation is still too low, and she can't receive the slightest interference when releasing skills!"
Ying Ziyu looked at Bai Bai in surprise when he heard this: "You are a spirit master?"
Bai Bai nodded a little embarrassedly, and whispered: "I'm still only a purple-level red spirit, and I only have a support skill that increases speed, and the spirit is Venus Aries!"
"Big sister!" Dabin leaned over to Hong Yufei and said, "Why don't you let me protect Bai Bai!"
Hong Yufei glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Greedy for life and afraid of death! Do you think eight hundred gold coins are so easy to earn? If you want to change her position, you can take her share of two hundred gold coins, and let her take eight hundred gold coins!"
"This ......" Dabin hesitated, and then said, "Forget it!"
Ying Ziyu on the side heard it clearly, and suddenly pulled Bai Bai up from the bluestone with bright eyes and said: "I didn't expect that such a small piece of meat of yours is worth two hundred gold coins! Then I have to protect you, otherwise I'm afraid that you will not deduct my salary!"
Roll your eyes in vain.
Red Feather Fei walked under a hundred-year-old tree that grew against a mountain rock, and motioned for Tang Wen to move a few huge rocks away.
Tang Wen did as he said, and Xiaobin stepped forward to help. Then, a pitch-black passage almost a man high appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Red Feather Fei motioned for Tang Wenling, and one or four men entered first, followed by Ying Ziyu and Bai Bai.
Red Feather is not the last to enter the passage, and by the way, he does the work of hiding the entrance.
To be continued.
