Chapter 12: Into the Mountains
The members of the Sixth Mercenary Team of the Fire Snake did not question Xiao Ping, because this was said by Kong Wen, the chief steward of the regiment.
Chen Kun was stunned for a while, and it took half a day to react and grin.
"Haha, Lao Kong, you are really interesting, there are more than 20 squads in the regiment, and there are only two or three teams with sword cultivators, don't worry, we will take him well in the future!"
Kong Wen nodded and said again.
"Xiao Ping, the remaining three are the famous "Three Wolves of Xiaoyue" in the Dongwu Mountains, they are rare three brothers, Li Feng, Li Yi, and Li Tai. ”
The three brothers were very similar, they were all smiling, and they looked a little indifferent, but when they heard that Xiao Ping was a sword cultivator, the three of them rarely showed a smile and nodded.
"Brother Feng, Brother Yi, Brother Tai!"
Xiao Ping also greeted with a smile.
The four people in front of him, not to mention the age of this life, even if they are added to the previous life, they are all older than themselves, and Xiao Ping is called Brother Sheng, which is not a loss.
Kong Wen sent Xiao Ping to him, said a few more polite words, and left first, Xiao Ping also smiled and said goodbye to Kong Wen.
As soon as Kong Wen left, Li Feng, the eldest brother of the three brothers of the Li family, looked at Xiao Ping again, and his expression was much more positive.
"Xiao Ping, since you are the person personally introduced by Steward Kong, of course we are also relieved, but there are some things that we still have to say in front.
You have a good talent, you must have come out of a big sect or a big family to experience.
But the cultivation in the sect is different from the real demon killing, the newcomer has just joined, and almost all of them have to go through a period of tempering before they can kill the demon alone.
And those of us who come out to kill demons to make money, it is impossible to take care of you as a newcomer all the time, and give you ten days at most, if after ten days, you still can't keep up with our rhythm, then we can only sweep you out of the house, and don't blame the brothers for being ruthless. ”
"Hmm. ”
Xiao Ping nodded.
Li Feng's words, Xiao Ping was not surprised, his strength is indeed the weakest in this team now, but it is strong in talent.
His primary purpose now was to try not to become a burden to this high-level demon beast squad.
"Fengzi, don't scare Brother Xiao. ”
Seeing this, Chen Kun smiled at Xiao Ping.
"Xiao Ping, you have good talent, I believe you can integrate into our team soon. ”
"I'll do my best!"
Xiao Ping said seriously.
With the addition of new team members, a few rough men ordered some good wine and meat, which could be regarded as welcoming Xiao Ping, and after that, an empty room was arranged for Xiao Ping as a foothold for Xiao Ping to come over in the future.
"It's not early today, it's too late to enter the mountain, we will rest here for one night, adjust the state, and enter the mountain tomorrow!"
"Yes, Captain!"
The four people, including Xiao Ping, all nodded.
Xiao Ping came to his room, because the space was not large, and one night, Xiao Ping could only be used to practice the Dragon Elephant Gong.
Although the cultivation speed of the Dragon Elephant Gong was extremely slow, and without the help of external forces, Xiao Ping hardly felt the improvement.
But Xiao Ping's perseverance is very comparable, even if he can't see growth, he still concentrates on cultivation, hoping that one day, quantitative change can lead to qualitative change!
......
In the early morning of the next day, the sky had just spit out the white of the fish's belly.
The six teams of the Fire Snake, each with their bags on their backs, left Qingxing Town and headed for the Dongwu Mountain Range.
Because they brought Xiao Ping a newcomer, the team did not immediately cross the periphery of the mountain range and enter the depths, but stayed on the periphery for a while.
"Although it's only the periphery, there are many beasts here, and there are still a lot of strength, and the corpses can also be sold for money, Xiao Ping, today, I'll accompany you to exercise here!"
"Thank you, Captain!"
Xiao Ping's eyes were slightly happy.
Although it was not the first time he had entered the wilderness, it was the first time he had faced these beasts, and with several powerful and experienced mercenary seniors watching, he could indeed minimize the dangers he might encounter.
"But don't expect too much from us, we'll only help you when your life is in danger, and most of the rest of the situation is up to you. ”
The third eldest of the three brothers of the Li family, Li Tai reminded.
"Don't worry, Brother Tai, I know it. ”
Xiao Ping nodded, and excitement flashed in his eyes.
A few people walked near the dense forest on the periphery, deliberately going to a place with the smell of beasts, just to find suitable prey for Xiao Ping to practice.
"Roar!!
After a few steps, in the depths of the dense forest, a loud roar suddenly sounded, and the sound was deafening.
The other four members of the team were all indifferent, but Xiao Ping did not dare to slack off and remained nervous at all times.
"Well, Xiao Ping, there is a newly grown predatory lynx in the forest ahead, and its strength is probably between the second layer of the condensation vein and the third layer of the condensation vein, so I'll leave it to you!"
Chen Kun's voice came from beside him.
"This is your first battle with our team, well done!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Ping nodded.
After that, the captain Chen Kun and the three brothers of the Li family did not speak, and they did not have the slightest intention of reminding Xiao Ping how to deal with this predatory lynx.
After all, a few people have only known each other for a day, and they can't talk about any friendship, Xiao Ping is a newcomer, and if he wants to be recognized by these mercenary veterans, it is not enough to just say "sword cultivation".
Xiao Ping also understood this, and with a whoosh, the Xuantie Sword was unsheathed.
He looked at the captain Chen Kundao.
"Captain, what is the valuable part of this bobcat? I will take care to keep it as good as possible. ”
"Claws and fur, if you can, from the neck, a sword kills it. ”
Chen Kun said lightly.
"Okay, captain, big brother of the Li family, see how I peel off the skin of this beast!"
After Xiao Ping finished speaking, he raised his sword and walked towards the predatory lynx step by step.
Watching Xiao Ping enter the forest, Li Yi, the second eldest of the Li family, couldn't help but say.
"Captain, although this Snatching Lynx is just a beast, in terms of speed, it is not even inferior to a first-order demon beast, and ordinary fourth-layer martial artists of the Condensation Vein may not be able to deal with it, Xiao Ping killed a beast of this level for the first time, isn't it a bit too demanding?"
Li Tai, the third elder of the Li family, also nodded.
"Yes, even if we have to test him, we should take it step by step, it's a bit rushed. ”
"The captain arranged it like this, so naturally he has a reason. ”
The eldest Li Feng glanced at the two brothers, and said lightly:
"Xiao Ping is a sword cultivator, he is originally a type who is extremely good at fighting, and in the realm of martial arts, there are also three layers of condensation veins, no less than a mountain cat, although he may suffer a little, but he should still be able to win in the end. ”
However, it was clearly the first time he had entered the Tobu Mountains. ”
Li Tai pouted:
"When I first joined the team, my brother and the captain didn't let me fight such a difficult lynx. ”
"Can you be the same as him? Are you a genius from the sect, or a sword cultivator! We let him in because we need him to improve the combat power of our squad and support us in killing second-order or even third-order demon beasts, not to make him a burden!"
Li Feng said unhappily.
"Alright, don't talk about it!"
At this time, Chen Kun suddenly spoke.
The three members of the Li family all quieted down.
"Let's take a look first, and wait until Xiao Ping finishes this battle. ”
Chen Kun looked at Xiao Ping's figure expressionlessly, but he said secretly in his heart.
"Xiao Ping, let's see, as a genius sword cultivator, what is so great about you!"
......
