Shrouded in night, this is a small villa area, from its specifications and the surrounding greenery can be seen that this is a very high-end residential area, but except for the occasional lights in the villa area, the surrounding is dark, even the street lights are not on, the night breeze blows, and it is desolate in the bustling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In one of the lighted villas, a woman is playing a game with her three-year-old daughter while teaching her to speak. A man hurried in. He didn't close the door, and in fact the door was not locked, he just pushed the door and ran in. His movements looked very wild, but the expression on his face turned firm after seeing his wife and daughter.

"What's going on?" The woman asked in surprise when she saw the man's appearance.

"Wife, pack up your things and take the baby away." As he spoke, the man quickly picked up his daughter and pulled his wife upstairs.

"What do they want to do?" The expression on the woman's face suddenly turned to horror, as if she already knew what was happening, but she was not sure.

"They don't just want meteorites, they want babies." The man said and looked at his precious daughter.

The woman was shocked when she heard this, but she panicked even more and said, "What should we do?" Can you walk away? ”

"You take the baby from the experimental area. I walked through the back door with a meteorite. The man made up his mind.

"No, you can't. Let's go. "A woman knows at once that her husband is trying to use herself as bait.

"Wife! Now is not the time to be willful. The baby must not fall into their hands. The man looked directly at his wife.

The couple made eye contact for only a few seconds, but they already understood what they meant. Yes, they are husband and wife, and their hearts are connected, and many words don't need to be said for a long time. Women also understand how great the crisis is - the baby must not fall into their hands. Those people are devils!

******

A few vague fragments flashed, as if someone was chasing, and the woman ran for her life with the baby in her arms; The baby is being held, and the woman is nowhere to be found; A very large house, like a warehouse, divided into many small rooms, like one cage after another, the baby cried heartbreakingly, and kept calling for Mom and Dad, but the many guards outside didn't seem to hear it......

Then many images flashed, and finally the cage next door where the baby was held was opened, and two strong men dragged a bloody man and threw it in. Although the baby was very scared, she knew that it was her father, although she was young, but she was a sensible child, she was very scared and extremely distressed when she saw her father hurt like this, and she kept shouting against the edge of the cage. It's a pity that the cage separates the father and daughter.

The man seemed to hear the baby's cry and raised his head forcefully, wanting to comfort his daughter. At this time, the baby finally saw her father's appearance...... It's Zhou Ruohao!!

******

Xue Lian woke up suddenly, and it turned out to be a real dream! She explained herself in her heart, but her hands still trembled uncontrollably, and her whole body was covered in cold sweat.

"Dreams are the opposite, it's okay, it's okay. I think too much. In the end, Xue Lian could only whisper to comfort herself. After all, it was too real, as if he had experienced it himself, and the father in the dream was actually Zhou Ruohao, which was incredible.

"Snow Lotus, what's wrong with you?" Snow Lotus's movements alarmed the orchid grass that was keeping vigil.

"I'm having a bad dream." Snow Lotus simply stopped sleeping, walked over to the orchid grass and sat down.

This is a cave on the side of the mountain, not big, only about ten square meters, and the other three women are crowded and sleep deeply. The orchid grass is guarded near the entrance of the cave, where the fire is burning, the main function is to keep warm, and the entrance of the cave is windy. Although animals are afraid of fire, animals that come out at night are dangerous, and some of them go to places where there is fire. So around the entrance to the cave has been sprinkled with purchased dung of beasts.

The five girls of Snow Lotus have been away from the Night Stalker Clan for ten days, and they have been on the road all these days, although they have encountered a few small villages and towns in the middle, but they have not entered, because they are going to the base camp of the mercenary union, where there is an annual festival, and there is not much time left before the grand ceremony begins!

"Ah Cao, I'll keep it guarded, you go to sleep." Xue Lian said.

"Okay." After a pause, Lan Xincao still responded obediently.

Xue Lian didn't seem to have any intention of discussing the content of the dream with her, so she could only pat the head of the regiment on the shoulder and silently give moral support.

If Ice Melting City is the most prosperous city in the north, then Dawn City is the strongest city in the north, why it is strong, not because of its city defense, but because it is the headquarters of the mercenary guild of the entire continent, all S-class mercenary groups, A-level mercenary groups, B-level mercenary groups and more than half of the C-level and D-class mercenary groups are based here, with such a high force value, who else dares to break Xiaocheng's idea. Today, Dawnbreak City begins its busiest day ever. Mercenary groups from all over the world have arrived in Dawnbreak City - the day has come for the mercenary guild to offer a reward.

The last event was when the empire was still there, and after the **** experience, the mercenary group was very well renewed, and if the pattern was stabilized, the mercenary guild decided to hold a guild bounty this year. This event will last for a long time, and all registered mercenary groups will be able to participate, and those with a C rank and above will be eligible to compete for the highest mission. D-level and below can only take on some tasks on the periphery, and by the way, as a spectator, watch the demeanor of the big mercenary group, and learn from experience by the way.

Under the leadership of Snow Lotus, the Berserk Goddess Mercenary Group reported to the Mercenary Guild early in the morning. The true headquarters of the Mercenary Guild is only accessible to mercenary groups of B-level and above. And Daybreak City also has three other large strongholds, which are used to receive and drain traffic according to the level of the mercenary group.

This is the stronghold of the mercenary groups at the C and D levels. What is the appearance of Snow Lotus, they can't appreciate it anymore, because there are too many people, and they are not ordinary people, all of them are mercenaries, and what is even worse is that they are all men, and they are looking up and down with wide eyes one by one. A vacuum with a diameter of one meter appeared around the five women. Because everyone is too curious about this only female mercenary group.

"Look, they're the women."

"Oh, that's pretty good. I thought it was stronger than me, but I didn't expect it to be similar to those girls in Drunken Xiangju. ”

"Tsk, spicy, so spicy, I really want to hook up with one."

…………

The comments around were loud and small, but they were all picky or disdainful. Everyone came over as if they had seen something interesting.

"If it weren't for beating them, not only would they not make any money, but they might also lose money, I really want to flatten them one by one." Snow Lotus whispered.

"Don't worry, I've memorized a few of the most overspoken people, and we'll go masked at night to deal with them." Orchid Grass will always do her best to meet Xuelian's requests, and wants to make her happy all the time.

"Probably not. Those several force values are so high. The deputy head of the Sandstorm Mercenary Regiment, as well as several main members of the Thunderhawk Mercenary Regiment, are C-level mercenary regiments. In addition, although the White Mercenary Group, the Gold Mercenary Group, the Scarlet Crystal Mercenary Group, etc., are D-class mercenary groups like us, they are old mercenary groups. "Sesame broke everyone's thoughts of revenge in one fell swoop.

Although the mercenaries are not clearly classified, you can guess their strength by looking at the mercenary group they belong to. Generally speaking, it is impossible for a B-level mercenary group to accept a person who is not armed as a member of the group, and from the weapons they carry, the martial arts they are good at, etc., can determine what their force value is. The mainland still has an unwritten method for determining force (with the maximum force value of 100 and the force value of ordinary people as 10 as the standard):

Generally speaking, people who wield swords have a force value of less than 20. Whether it's a long sword, a short sword, a soft sword...... The nobles of the Hulu Continent often learn this skill, and many generals, marquises, and powerful juniors also learn swordsmanship; It is known as the "most fancy skill", "the most noble skill", and "the shortest-lived skill" in the Hulu Continent (because most of the users are incompetent, those who have swordsmanship skills tend to die the fastest in battle).

Why don't ordinary people use long swords? The first is inconvenient to carry, and the second is that the long sword uses too much metal, and ordinary people simply can't afford it. At present, all metals in the continent, except for gold, which can be mined, are obtained from the excrement of birds, and the more precious and ferocious the birds, the higher and rarer the metals produced.

Then there's the blade technique. All weapons other than swords, knives, arrows, clubs, clubs, hooks, ...... Even the soldiers of the Hulu Continent army are trained to use the blade technique uniformly, and the things that ordinary people use for self-defense and attack are even more varied, and the bare-handed combat method is also classified in the blade technique, which is the most widely used in the Hulu Continent, and has the title of "civilian skills". The force value of the blade capital is at the level of 21 to 50.

A force value of 50 or more is in the hands of a small number of people. Mainlanders only know about it, and they don't know about it. For example, the Night Stalkers are rumored to be very powerful, their strength is very high, but few people can see them attack, and even if they can see them, they don't know what kind of weapon they use. There are also elves, who also have a high force value, and according to those who have dealt with the elves, the elves can spell. If this is true, then the elves may be involved in mysterious magic. And then there are giants that exist only in people's languages......

Orchid Grass has the bloodline of a giant, but her bloodline is very tortuous, except that she is physically stronger than ordinary people, she has not yet inherited any excellent talents. It's true that Feng'er can use wings to fly after having elf blood, but this is just a skill to escape or hurry, and the sneak attack is not bad, but the lethality is not great.

******

"Let's be peaceful. After all, you came here to earn gold coins to level up. After listening to Sesame's words, Feng'er felt that he should be more aware of current affairs.

"Indeed." Luo Shi, who was not the main combat force, also nodded.

"Alas......" As soon as she said this, Xue Lian sighed deeply.

She didn't know that she came to Dawn City to take on tasks to earn gold coins and raise her level. But...... Obviously, there are a lot of bounty tasks put out by the Mercenary Guild, but they just don't have their share. It turns out that the so-called bounty is a designated bounty. Usually, the client issues a task, and the mercenary group chooses whether to accept it or not. But this grand event is the other way around, and the client appoints the mercenary group to take over the task. After the mercenary group completes the next task, the rewards they get can be doubled, and some are even tripled or quadruple.

This is a grand event for mercenary groups, and it is a good opportunity for them to open up their popularity and improve their team. It's just that although the Goddess of Berserk is a D-class mercenary group, because of the identity of women, none of the clients are willing to designate them to complete the task.

"Don't wait a few days, the event has just begun. If it doesn't work, we'll go to the ring and pull the task. "Sesame is ruthless.

Fighting in the ring is a battle between two mercenary groups of the same level. For example, the client gives the task to the D-class A mercenary group, but the D-class B mercenary group also wants to complete the task, so B challenges A, and after A agrees, the two parties sign a best-of-three game and two wins. Whoever wins the task will complete it.
