"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of death? We are mercenaries, and we are originally a profession that gambles with our lives, and your fear will only become a joke among mercenaries-" Zhan Hongyue's heroic face was a little arrogant, and there was no condemnation in her tone, as if she was recounting a fact.

"I know—if I was fighting with demon beasts today, I, Qi Dali, would definitely not take a step back—but—we didn't even see our opponents, and we were already on the verge of collapse—" Qi Dali's face showed a desolate expression.

Zhan Hongyue no longer speaks - human willpower is an excellent quality of a person, but people with weak willpower also have the right to survive, they can choose to give up and choose to escape-

Although, these people are destined to be a joke in front of the strong-

Jun Wunian stood aside and watched calmly, never speaking. Lan Sheng stood quietly beside him, exuding a sense of tranquility from the inside out.

Song Shilin, the eldest lady of the Song family, who has always been optimistic and cheerful and loves to laugh, also fell silent at this time, she allowed people in the team to keep leaving, but she did not keep anyone.

Since Chen Yixiao mentioned to Jun Wunian that his attitude towards Song Shilin was too intimate, Jun Wunian tried to communicate with Song Shilin as little as possible in order to avoid suspicion, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when he saw Song Shilin's silence.

"Miss-" Jun Wunian's voice was soft, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, we can get out." ”

Song Shilin glanced up at Jun Wunian and nodded: "Hmm-" Immediately, a trace of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Miss Shi Lin-" Zhan Hongyue also spoke, "I will always protect you until the mission is completed or—I die—"

"Thank you-captain-" Song Shilin's voice was full of gratitude, and he no longer called Sister Zhan Hongyue, but solemnly addressed him as the captain.

In the original escort brigade of 100 people, there were only a dozen or so people left, except for Song Wenzhi, the young head of the Song family, Song Shilin, the eldest lady, Leng Feng, the captain of the escort team, and 12 mages of the Song family, the rest of the people were only Jun Wunian Zhan Hongyue among the mercenaries, Lan Sheng Mengqin'er Chen Yixiao of the Holy Academy, Shi Zhuoye in the scattered cultivation and another mage named Ye Xu.

"There are only 22 people left. Song Wenzhi looked at the long yellow sand and the secluded ancient road, and sighed.

When it came out, it was a mighty army of one hundred and sixty people, and now they are walking and dying, and only these 22 people remain—

"At least you can guarantee that these 22 people won't escape again, right?" Song Shilin also said lightly, without a trace of smile on her face, but with melancholy.

"Sister—we're going to split up next. Song Wenzhi's face was mature and steady, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

"It's good that it's really not suitable to walk together in this environment. ”

"Sister-no matter which of us can get out, we will wait for the other party at the exit of the second level for 10 days, if you don't see the other party come out for ten days, you will directly enter the third level-" Although he was afraid, Song Wenzhi did not have the slightest intention of retreating and giving up. Song Wenzhi knew very well that as the young head of the Song family, he shouldered the mission of the Song family from generation to generation.

"Brother—be careful—" Song Shilin said softly.

"Well-you take these two loose cultivators, I will pick out six more people for you from the escort team, you will set off with two loose cultivators and your two mercenary guards and these six people, and I will set off with the rest of the family and the three people of the Holy Academy. When mentioning the three people of the Holy Academy, Song Wenzhi's eyes were a little trance-like.

"Brother-I'll take the three of the Holy Academy—" Song Shilin didn't want Lan Sheng and the three to be separated from them.

"Don't mess around - we have to protect the safety of the students of the Holy Academy when we come out this time, otherwise our Song family will not be able to explain to the Holy Academy. The cold wind is the highest cultivation here, and it can protect them even more. Song Wenzhi seemed to be selfish, and there was some dodging in his eyes.

"Sister Hongyue is also a 70th-order mage, so she can also protect us. ”

"Obedient—"

"No—I'm going to take them with me. ”

"Sister-" Song Wenzhi's tone was a little more stern.

"Young family master-" Jun Wunian couldn't listen anymore, he stepped forward, arched his hand and said, "Young family master, you might as well ask Miss Lan of the Holy Academy and Miss Meng and Gongzi Chen what they mean, they can follow whichever side they want." ”

Song Wenzhi was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, walked up to Lan Sheng, and a soft voice came out: "Miss Lan, we plan to go in two ways, I don't know if Miss Lan is willing to go with her sister on the next road or with her sister all the way-" Song Wenzhi's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Let's go with Miss Lin at any time. Lan Sheng said calmly, and said in a light tone, "We have all been familiar with Miss Shi Lin these days. ”

Song Wenzhi's eyes darkened, and then he forced a smile: "Since that's the case, then it's okay - Miss Lan be careful." ”

He turned around and selected three people from the Song family's escort team, ordered them to follow Song Shilin, and then turned around and left with a cold wind, with loneliness and loneliness in his back.

"Brother, this is the girl who has taken a fancy to Lan-" Song Shilin said in a low voice in Jun Wunian's ear, "I've never seen my brother have such an expression-"

Jun Wunian was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lan Sheng, who was not far behind him. I saw Lan Sheng still standing there expressionlessly, looking at the yellow sand under his feet, unable to see his emotions.

The group set off again, the desert maze went around and around, Jun Wunian didn't know where he was at all, and he didn't know where the exit was, but he just followed everyone with his feelings.

After walking for about an hour, Zhan Hongyue stopped.

She looked at her surroundings and frowned, "Don't go—we've been going around in circles—"

"What!" Song Shilin was a little surprised, "It's impossible, we've been walking straight forward——"

"Look at the left—" Zhan Hongyue didn't explain, just said.

"What's going on on the left?" Song Shilin was puzzled.

Jun Wunian took a few steps to the left, bending down to pick up an empty kettle on the ground. "About half an hour ago, the captain deliberately threw the kettle on the ground, and that's it, so we're back where we came from half an hour ago. ”

Song Shilin suddenly realized, and humbly asked: "Sister Hongyue, then what should we do now?" Although Song Shilin is the eldest lady of the Song family, she has never served any eldest lady's shelf from beginning to end.

Zhan Hongyue picked up the sand on the ground, carefully screened it, and said, "Let's go over there—"

"Why?" the person who asked the question this time was Chen Yixiao, who seemed to be a little puzzled. Jun Wunian also frowned, there was nothing special about the direction that Zhan Hongyue was pointing to, and Jun Wunian's powerful perception ability did not feel that this path would be an exit.
