A few bouts of bright red blood splattered from his left shoulder, and Carter narrowly avoided the sweep of the claws, his feet splashing up a puddle of rotting leaves and mud on the ground in a rapid retreat...... Behind him, an exclamation from his fellow mercenaries sounded.

After retreating nearly two feet before he could barely stand firm, Carter couldn't help but curse a few words in a low voice, first placing the huge war knife in his hand across his chest, and then slightly tilting his head to sweep the wound on his left shoulder.

The tough leather armor he was wearing made of the thick skin of the second-level demonic beast, the one-horned bull, had already made several long cuts on the tip of the sharp claws on his left shoulder, and blood was gushing out from the holes......

Slightly stretched out his arm a few times, but the tingling pain from the wound did not hinder the movement of his left arm, Carter couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately he dodged quickly, so that he didn't get rid of his left arm with a claw from the third-level magic gibbon in front of him.

But Carter also secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, this place was close to the border of the Dark Empire, but it still belonged to the edge of the Dark Forest, why did he suddenly encounter so many demon gibbons?

At this time, several mercenary companions behind Carter also quickly caught up and formed a confrontation with the three third-level demonic beasts in front of him, the demon gibbon.

Carter and the five mercenaries beside him formed a team of mercenaries, all of whom were from the Rand Kingdom, and had only entered the Dark Forest a few days ago after taking over a mission from the town of Lancer to search for the Moonlight Magic Flower.

Moonlight magic flower is a kind of cherished and precious flower plant, every time under the moonlight, this magic flower can exude an unusually bewitching beautiful glow, and at the same time emit the most wonderful fragrance, it is one of the favorite ornamental plants of the upper class nobles of the human world, and its price is naturally quite expensive.

Because from the intelligence, it was seen that among the more than ten locations where the Moonlight Magic Flower might be stored, only one was on the edge of the Dark Forest, just relatively close to the territory of the Dark Empire, and the other locations where the Moonlight Magic Flower might be stored were all in the depths of the Dark Forest, which was not a place where Carter's mercenary team had the strength to explore.

Although the distance is relatively far, and it is close to the territory of the Dark Empire, this is also the only place where Carter's mercenary team can hope to get this Moonlight Demon Flower.

It took several days for Carter and his fellow mercenaries to make their way from outside the town of Lancer all the way to the edge of the Dark Forest. It's already close to the small town of Kara on the border of the Dark Empire. According to the information Carter and the others bought, the place where the Moonlight Demon Flower might have was less than twenty miles southeast of their current location.

It was still in the depths of the Dark Forest, but with the strength of Carter's mercenary team, it was an area that could barely be ventured into.

It was because he knew that this was only the edge of the Dark Forest, and Carter, who was exploring the path in front of the mercenary team, was a little careless before, and he was almost attacked by this demon gibbon.

But looking at the three third-level demon gibbons in front of him, Carter began to mutter: This should only be the most marginal area of this dark forest, how could such a three-headed demon gibbon escape? If you go further inside, will you encounter more advanced magical beasts? …… It seems that this time the task may not be easy to accomplish.

Thinking like this, Carter couldn't help but set his eyes on the mercenary captain standing to his right, Lu Lie.

Lulie was a mercenary who was not tall in stature, but had an unusually thick physique. Wearing a black-brown third-level demonic beast skin armor, he has a fifth-level fighting strength, and he is also the strongest one in this mercenary team.

As the captain of this mercenary team, Lu Lie is not only the strongest, but also quite experienced. He had been a mercenary for seven years, and two years earlier, Rulie had been one of the first few mercenaries in the Rand Kingdom to venture into the Dark Forest at the risk of encountering the Dark Shaman and the Dark Knight. It can be said that even among the more than 1,000 mercenaries in the small town of Lanser, Lu Lie is one of the most familiar with this dark forest.

At this time, Lu Lie's face full of horizontal flesh became extremely solemn, and he stared at the three third-level demon gibbons not far away, and said in a deep voice to Carter and the other mercenaries beside him:

"Everyone, pay attention, this magic gibbon has great strength, fast speed, and strong attack power, everyone must take precautions first. When you start it later, Carter, Ducky, you two and I will be the main attackers; Tim and Kano are mainly responsible for containment and defense from the side; Sally ducked behind and shot them with arrows.

One last word of caution: the gibbons are very bounced, so be careful that they can jump into the trees before attacking, which will be very troublesome to deal with. Tim and Kano will be in charge of containing their movements in a moment, and Sully will also be careful to limit their range of movement as much as possible with arrows. ”

With a deep voice and a rapid tone, Lu Lie's words made the mercenaries more and more nervous.

"Bluff, bluff......", as if noticing the attack formation of the six mercenaries slowly pulling apart, the three-headed demon gibbon suddenly let out a strange roar. In this strange cry that made people feel a little hairy in their hearts, the three-headed demon gibbon attacked first before the mercenaries' attack formation was fully stretched......

Carter followed closely behind the captain Rulie, and another mercenary Ducky, who was also known for his strength, met the three-headed gibbon that pounced. The two more agile mercenaries in the back, Tim and Kano, did not rush forward, but began to circle to the sides. And the last archer, Sally, simply dodged behind a large tree......

Although Carter's mercenary team is not a long-term fixed combination, all members are experienced mercenary veterans, and after several previous adventures together, they have a certain tacit understanding with each other.

Carter estimated that if the task of finding the Moonlight Demon Flower could be completed smoothly, the captain Lu Lie would be eligible to submit an application form for a registered mercenary team to the Mercenary Guild.

Every adventurer who wants to become a mercenary can register as an ordinary mercenary in the mercenary guild at will, but the registration of a mercenary team is another matter. Not every improvised mercenary team can register in the Mercenary Guild. In order to become a mercenary team recognized by the Mercenary Guild, its registration qualifications need to apply to complete a series of difficult tasks.

The quest to search for the Moonlight Flower is marked as a D-level difficulty task in the Mercenary Guild, while the series of tasks that a general mercenary team needs to complete to register are all E-level difficulty. Completing this D-rank mission to search for the Moonlight Magic Flower was enough to make Carter's mercenary team officially incorporated.

This is also the main reason why Carter's mercenary team is willing to take such a big risk to run through the Dark Forest from the Rand Kingdom to the border of the Dark Empire to complete this mission. What's more, if you can really find a Moonlight Demon Flower and bring it back, the incomparably generous reward will be enough to satisfy these six mercenaries.

In Carter's opinion, with the strength of his team, it is not too difficult to deal with these three demon gibbons, even if it is just Captain Lu Lie, a mercenary of the fifth level of fighting spirit, it is enough to deal with these three demon gibbons.

But Carter also understood that the solemn look that Captain Lu put out was not just for the sudden appearance of the three-headed demon gibbon. This is the Dark Forest, and it's also on the border of the Dark Empire. For experienced mercenaries, any unexpected encounters in such a dangerous territory would not bode well. In particular, these three third-level gibbons should not have been in this area at all, and abnormal conditions usually indicate greater danger.

Sure enough, the battle with the three-headed demon gibbon had not been fought for less than a moment, and even before the two mercenaries in charge of containing it from the side could make a move, the situation changed suddenly......

Carter, who was fighting a demon gibbon head-on, was a little difficult as soon as he first fought. Although this demon gibbon is only a third-level demonic beast, among the many third-level demonic beasts in this dark forest, the demonic gibbon is the most difficult one to deal with, and it is also regarded by many mercenaries as a guy who is almost as difficult as a fourth-level demonic beast.

The two extraordinarily thick arms of the gibbon are very strong and powerful, and the two arms are covered with long hairs as hard and fine as steel needles, and together with their thick skin, these two arms are not much worse than real steel whips.

The war knife in Carter's hand was only blocked a few times, and it was shocked by the amazing force on the two long arms of the demon gibbon, and Carter's wrist was also shocked to a little soreness and numbness. And under such a vigorous chop, the sharp war knife failed to cut off even a few black hairs on the two long arms of the demon gibbon.

Moreover, the gibbon's movements are flexible and fast, and under the wave of his arms one after another, Carter was forced to not even have time to show his best combat skills for a while, so he could only retreat again and again.

Just when Carter felt a little unbearable and was about to summon his fellow mercenaries who were in charge of containment to help, the gibbon who was attacking in front of him suddenly shook his body and jumped up from in front of Carter, intending to jump directly over Carter's head......

Although the gibbon was extremely fast, it would be too underestimated to jump over Carter's head with such an empty door. Although he was very surprised, Carter almost reflexively pushed the knife in his hand towards the top of his head......

The sound of "swish", with the clarity of the war knife in his hand, was accompanied by a terrible scream of the demon gibbon...... A canopy of blood spilled straight down Carter's head.

Carter quickly turned his head in disbelief to see that the gibbon, which had leapt over Carter's head, had jumped three feet away and almost fell to the ground, but it immediately bounced off the ground, and despite the fact that it was almost cut in half by Carter's war knife, it limped and staggered with the blood that was spurting violently, and continued to flee without looking back......

Carter turned his head a little dazed to look at his fellow mercenary next to him, who was also in a daze, and couldn't understand why this gibbon had such a desperate way to escape. However, Carter soon notices that the gibbon, who is facing another powerful mercenary, Dutchy, also seems to be desperately trying to escape.

Although like Carter, Ducky's fighting spirit is only level four, but Ducky, who is thirty-three years old this year, is better than Carter in terms of strength. Dealing with a third-level demon gibbon alone, Ducky did not have a hard time coping with it.

But the gibbon fighting against Dutsy was completely blind to Daqi's attack at this time, it just frantically attacked Dutchy, and this kind of action of ignoring itself was completely like trying to fight with Dutsy.

Carter, who was watching from the sidelines, saw very clearly that the demon gibbon was obviously trying to force Ducky to retreat in this desperate way so that it could escape for his life.

This made Carter suddenly feel that the current situation had become a little weird.

If these gibbons really want to escape, then when they first encounter the mercenary team, they can escape easily, and their own mercenary team will not have to destroy them. After all, these three-headed demon gibbons are not so easy to deal with, and if they really fight hard, the mercenary team will not dare to say that they can guarantee that they will not be damaged.

And the demon gibbon who fought with him was quite normal at the beginning of the battle, but it seemed that it was only a moment ago that he suddenly sensed something, and he actually risked being attacked by himself from below, and rushed over from above his head, desperately suffering serious injuries and running away.

And the anomalous appearance of the demon gibbon who is now fighting with Dutsy seems to explain his guess as well.

So what danger did these gibbons sense? Thinking like this, Carter couldn't help but feel a little hairy in the bottom of his heart. I don't know if it's his own delusion, but Carter suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him began to become tense and filled with a strange sense of oppression......

Just when Carter felt that the situation was a little weird, a scream from the other side suddenly came from the other side. Carter turned his head to look, just in time to see the captain Lu Lie slowly withdraw his blood-stained sword, and the demon gibbon who was fighting him was already lying on the ground, his body divided into two parts.

Looking at the corpse of the demon gibbon in front of him with his head cut off, Captain Lu Lie's face did not have the slightest look of smugness or relaxation, but it became more and more solemn, he just shook the sword, shook off the blood stained on the knife, turned around and rushed in the direction of Daqi, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Sully, do it! Let's go up together and do our best to solve this magic gibbon. Something seems wrong! ”

Sure enough, Captain Lu Lie's words confirmed that the strange atmosphere around Carter that he suddenly felt was not his own delusion. He also immediately followed Lu Lie's words, and also rushed towards Daqi not far away......

"Whoosh" There was a sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air, and Carter thought that it was Sally, the only archer in the mercenary team, who made a move, but then Sally's screams from behind the big tree not far away made Carter rush forward.

Carter turned to look in shock, only to see a small hole in the tree where the archer Sally was hiding, which clearly penetrated the entire tree. Behind the tree, Sally, who fell to the ground, revealed the upper half of his body that had been pierced through the chest by a sharp arrow. It was completely killed by an instant arrow, and Sully's eyes were still round open, and there was still a bit of consternation in them.

Before Carter, whose mind was a little blank for a moment, could fully react, he heard another "whoosh" sound of an arrow breaking through the air, followed by another scream, which was the voice of another agile mercenary in the mercenary team, Kano......
