Jacob paused and continued: "Maybe you all know that there is a saying in the world of martial artists: there is no strongest fighting spirit, only the strongest person. Many people don't know that there is another saying, that is: there is no strongest fighting spirit, but there is the weakest fighting spirit, that is, soft water fighting spirit.

I didn't believe in evil, so I went to the only academy where I could afford the tuition, but the outcome remained the same, and the teacher there told me frankly that even if you entered the Imperial Academy in Verbo City, you still couldn't find someone who could teach you.

After two years in the academy, I left because I couldn't afford the rest of the tuition, and I had been doing odd jobs in our mercenary chapter, and I knew there were a lot of martial artists here, and I was always looking forward to the day when a martial artist like me would appear.

That's three years, I'm old enough, but no mercenary team wants to take me in. What really makes me desperate is that in the past three years, there has not been a single martial artist with a soft water fighting spirit.

Finally I was ready to give up, and that day I came to the tavern alone, intending to get myself drunk as a memorial to all the years I had lived in the city. However, when I was leaving, I accidentally knocked over a mercenary's wine glass, and he beat me so hard that just when I thought it might be a relief, one of them saved me.

Then I joined his team, these four years have been my happiest days, not only my captain, everyone in the team treats me as a relative, I am the youngest in the team, they call me Xiao Jiu, they call me literacy, teach me martial arts, although they don't know how to cooperate with martial arts, but they have never disliked me, even if there is no look.

I thought it would go on forever, but what I didn't expect was that they would leave me so soon. ”

At this point, Jacob was a little unable to sob.

"You're the first person I want to tell you, and I thought I'd never tell anyone about it for the rest of my life until I died, and you must wonder why I didn't say it, because no one would believe me.

Our mercenary team is also a little famous, the captain is an endless warrior, we take on some tasks to collect materials for Warcraft all year round, and we even have a permanent residence in the Ancient Ruins Forest near Rogel Town, where we spend most of the year. Although I occasionally encounter some very powerful magical beasts, it is also quite safe.

One day, we normally went to the area around our permanent residence to reconnoiter the situation, just to see if there were any traces of demonic beasts around us, and there were traps that had not been destroyed. This helps us to plan ahead for our defenses.

Normally we act together, but I found an excuse to stay in the residency that day.

Because I knew it would be the captain's birthday in two days, and I wanted to surprise him. I know that the captain would like to raise a bird of prey, so that when we are on a mission in the forest, we can find the traces of the beast faster and more accurately.

But the birds and monsters that can be domesticated are pitiful, and they are not easy to deal with if they can fly, so they have always been priceless.

One day I stumbled upon a Golden Flame Eagle's nest, and I observed that it had laid eggs, so I planned to take an egg while it was out foraging for food, and give it to the captain as a gift.

By the time I got back to my place of residence, it was already noon, and they should have come back by this time, so I thought something was wrong, so I went to them.

But when I found them, all I saw was stumps and severed arms all over the ground, and four or five scorpions eating their corpses. ”

"Lion Scorpion, it's a scorpion, did they kill your companions?" Gail was surprised.

"What is a scorpion?" said the scorpion, the first time he had heard of the creature.

"The Lion Scorpion is a ferocious beast endemic to the Ancient Relic Forest, with the body of a lion but the tail of a scorpion, and usually lives in groups. But they generally only have the strength of the early stage of the lord, so they shouldn't be your captain's opponents?" Gale explained.

"At first I thought they were only coming when they smelled blood, and I rushed to chase them away like crazy, but suddenly out of the jungle came a scorpion with black flames burning all over its body. Jacob closed his eyes in pain.

"This is the first time I've heard of a lion and a monster? Gail looked surprised, although the boundary between fierce beasts and demonic beasts is blurred, the fierce beasts that can really turn into demonic beasts are still extremely rare.

"It's much more than that, it walks upright like a human, and its body and even its palms are very similar to those of the Terrans. The most incredible thing is the black flame.

The black flame attached itself to my shield, and although the shield looked unscathed, I knew it was dead.

I had a splitting headache when I accidentally got a little bit of that black flame, and the death of my shield, so I suspected that the flame could hurt my soul.

Maybe it was full, or maybe for some other reason, it didn't kill me, and just left with the scorpions.

I remember the look in the scorpion's eyes, and I'm sure I'm right, they were definitely intelligent eyes.

Collect the bodies of your companions. None of them are intact, and I can't even tell who they are. All I remember is a ring on one of my arms that the captain never took off.

I buried them near the permanent residence, which was our common home. I knelt down at their graves and swore that I would avenge them, and if I could not kill the beast, I would be reunited with them if I were killed by it.

During that time, I was frantically searching for it, but the ancient relic forest was too big. I've also heard that there have been scorpions here recently.

I know that as a mercenary, this kind of thing is unavoidable, and if you kill a Warcraft, you may also be killed by a Warcraft. If they really just got killed by the monsters, they would have died as they deserved.

But I never forgot those eyes, and I ...... when I think of their mangled corpses I must avenge them. ”

Jacob's expression was firm, and Gael knew that no amount of persuasion would be useless.

"Could it be that the scorpion beast has reached the Sanctuary and has wisdom?"

Chi Gu asked suddenly, he knew that whether it was a demonic beast or a fierce beast, as long as it reached the holy realm, it would have wisdom.

"I'm not surprised that he has wisdom or has turned into a demonic beast, haven't you heard that this lion scorpion is walking on two legs?

No wonder you're worried that no one will believe it, and if you hadn't said it yourself, I wouldn't have believed it. ”

Gail looked incredulous.

"A beast is a beast, even if it becomes a sanctuary, it will not be as intelligent as a smart creature, this is the difference between intelligent races and non-intelligent races, and it is impossible to change form and walk upright. Ryan thought it was incredible.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, let us help you, I want to meet this monster too. Chi Gu patted his thigh and said.

"No, I'm going to have to end this matter myself. This is a decision I made a year ago, I don't want to affect anyone, please don't try to persuade me anymore. Jacob stood up, his tone resolute.

The three of them knew that even if they persuaded again, it was useless, and no one would give up in the face of this hatred. If it were them, they wouldn't want to drag others down.

"And what if your mission is done?" asked the Worm Bone just as the air around him was about to freeze.

"I'm ......," Jacob looked up at the skull with a blank expression. He never thought that he would complete this almost impossible task, whether the other party was a sanctuary or not, and that one encounter had already made him disheartened.

Gail and Ryan also wondered why Bone would ask that.

"When the mission is complete, will you join us? Chi Gu smiled and stretched out his right hand, as if Jacob had just gone out for a spin and would come back.

"Yes, yes. Jacob was still a little distracted by the questioning, but he held out his right hand anyway.

"In that case, you're a member of our Storm Giants. ”

Chi Bone gripped Jacob's right hand tightly and smiled even more happily.

Jacob understood this, and he quickly said, "I like you too, but I still won't let you get involved in this." ”

"Haha, don't worry, I know it's your job, and we respect your decision.

But our team has a rule that every new member will get a gift from the team, and you won't refuse this.

I didn't lie to you, my armor was given to me by the captain. Chi Gu said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, the rules are the rules, as the captain, you must not favor one over the other, this treatment, our team can still afford it. Since you are good at shields, that set of swords and shields will be handed over to you. ”

It was only then that Gail guessed Chi Bone's thoughts, and couldn't help but be moved by his intelligence and kindness, so he hurriedly put on a decent performance.

"Haha, you're lucky to join such a well-developed mercenary team as ours. Hurry back to the team after you complete your mission, this world is still waiting for us to write legends!"

Ryan also understood at once, and couldn't help but secretly give Gale a thumbs up, this reaction is worthy of being the captain!

"This ...... I ......"

Jacob was a little moved to be a little incoherent, of course he knew that the three of them were in order for him to accept the set of swords and shields, and as for the gifts for joining the team, they must have been made up by the bones.

"Thank you. A thousand words could not express Jacob's heart at this moment, and in the end he only said the most superficial thank you.

When the three of them saw that Jacob was moved to tears, they laughed at him again. Gale even told him in the name of the captain not to be reckless if he couldn't do anything, and it was not too late to take revenge when he was strong.

There is no banquet in the world, and after eating a meal of roasted whole deer carefully prepared by the Syndicate, everyone is also planning to leave.

Jacob didn't want to feel the pain of parting, and after exchanging contact information with Gail, he left first on the pretext that he still had to investigate the traces of the lion scorpion, and took the magical sword and shield with him when he left.
