Chapter 6: The Shrewd Mercenary Group
In the night, the three of Xuan Qi were still immersed in their own artistic conception, looking at the sky deeply, they seemed to have forgotten their fatigue when they were hungry, and only they knew what they were thinking. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a light near the mountain, flickering through the jungle, and the animals of the forest fled in all directions, as if hiding from something, and the owl cooed a few times, but disappeared. Looking at the direction they were heading, it seemed that the first person to meet was Xuan Qi, but Xuan Qi was still lying on the stone and enjoying the silence.
"Hurry up and look for it seriously, it can't run far after being hit hard by General Huan." A man who looked like he was a bit of an authority reminded softly.
"Boss, what you said is light, the sky is dark and dark, just rely on this little spark If you find someone, it's still simple, but now we're not looking for people!" One of them chimed in.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, General Huan has already spoken, if we can't find it, then ......" The leader stopped as he spoke.
"Boss, we're just mercenaries, why don't they use their own subordinates to find these things, let's take on some unsightly work, how did we take a job to find things today." The other continued.
"Don't ask so much, concentrate on finding out if there are any traces of escape, after the matter is completed, we don't have to live these poor and sour days, and then we can eat and drink spicy food." Said the leader.
There were twenty or so people in this group, all dressed like ordinary people, and if they didn't have swords with them, others thought they were merchants on the way. Walking and walking they walked through the jungle. Looking at Xuan Qi lying on the stone, most people didn't make any reaction, the cronies of the mercenary leader turned over the leaves blocking in front of them, saw the leisurely Xuan Qi, spit a mouthful of saliva to the side, and walked straight to Xuan Qi's side.
"This kid is not afraid of wild beasts in the middle of the night in the deep mountains, and there are no wild beasts, and there are also smashing and robbing, but he is a little bold." He wondered in his heart why Xuan Qi was here.
"Child, don't look at the sky, there are not so many stars to see, have you seen any strange phenomena?" He asked in a slightly provocative tone.
Xuan Qi came to his senses at this time, he didn't know that he had been surrounded by more than a dozen people, he didn't seem flustered when he saw all this, although he knew that these were just a group of mercenary groups, but he also knew that he didn't have any ability now, and it was a little troublesome to deal with the arrogant middle-aged man in front of him.
"What are you talking about? I'm just chilling here, traveling during the day and sleeping here at night, and I haven't noticed anything strange. Xuan Qi replied seriously.
The cronies of the mercenary head looked at Xuan Qi and didn't look like a local resident, and he didn't have too many doubts about him, and when he was about to take people away, he said with a little sarcasm, "It's better to be careful, don't be eaten by tigers, leopards, jackals, kids." Then he headed deep into the jungle.
On the other side, the remaining dozen or so people were led by the mercenary leader to explore in another direction, and as they walked, a mercenary came to report that there was a fire in the southeast. After hearing the spies' report, the mercenary leader rushed over with the rest of the men.
When they turned over the branches and leaves that blocked the view, they saw the camp where Xuanlong and the others were stationed, a ball of firewood was burning brightly, and there were five or six hares roasting on the fire, and they drew their weapons, vigilantly circling around without finding a single person.
Yingxue was not as laid-back as Xuan Qi, she saw that there were not enough matches and went to the dense forest to find some firewood.
The mercenary leader looked at the aroma of the barbecue meat that was about to be cooked in front of him and the rabbit meat that was gradually wafting, and his stomach couldn't help but growl, and the entourage next to him also drooled straight down. The spy just now said vigilantly, "Boss, looking like this, they should just be looking for firewood, it's not good for us to move their things like this, and I don't know what their identity is." ”
"Well, that's right, then we'll wait for them here, and when they come back, we'll ask if they have found any suspicious phenomena before making the next move." The mercenary leader said to cover up a little.
Suddenly the surroundings became extremely quiet, and in addition to the crackling sound of the fire, you could hear some insects flying around. The people of the mercenary group may be tired, and several people leaned against the big tree and closed their eyes slightly, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance. A few more people stared straight at the roast rabbit, like a wild wolf that had never eaten, full of incomparable bestiality.
As one of the more savvy mercenary groups, the mercenary leader knows that it is best not to provoke others when they do not know their identity, including stealing their belongings. If you provoke the big guys, then they small characters won't be able to eat and walk around. Although their strength is not very strong, they still have self-knowledge, otherwise how can they survive in this world of the jungle until now?
The mercenary leader was tired and almost closed his eyes, and suddenly heard the touch of branches and leaves nearby, and the mercenaries who were about to fall asleep were also immediately alerted, holding their respective weapons, ready to meet at any time, but when they saw a beautiful girl appear in front of them, they relaxed.
It doesn't matter, Yingxue hugged a bunch of dry branches, saw the fierce and vicious looks in front of her, and held a sword, appeared here in their camp for no reason, became overwhelmed, and the firewood also fell to the ground and scattered, and then a piercing scream came from nearby, "Help!! Yingxue's panicked expression hung directly on her face. The owls all around listened and flew away.
Xuan Long and Xuan Qi, who were far away on the other side, felt a little wrong when they saw the movement in the direction of the camp, and ran towards the camp one after another.
Yingxue raised her hands, smiled slightly, and didn't dare to speak, her legs slowly retreated, ready to turn around and run, she knew that she was a weak woman, how could she deal with these dozen big men, at this moment, her first thought was that it would be good if Xuanlong could come over, but looking at the situation in front of her, she still had to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon. As for Xuan Qi, she didn't even think about it, just Xuan Qi's arrogant posture, she was already merciful if she didn't let him get bored. "Am I going to die here?" Yingxue muttered in her heart, turning her head and running.
But just as he turned around, he suddenly felt a slight chill on his neck, which had already stopped him.
"Girl, we still have some things to ask, please forgive me for offending!" The leader of the mercenaries could see that there were other people besides this woman, although Yingxue in front of him was incapable, but the enemy he had not seen before should not be underestimated, so he waved his hand and put the knife on Yingxue's neck and stepped aside.
