Chapter 33: The Convergence of the Two
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, let's go quickly!" Tianlan said.
"Nangong boy, let's go quickly. Ye Yi grabbed Nangong Kui. He could also understand Nangong Kui's feelings, but now was indeed not the time to be sad.
Nangong Kui's hands trembled, and he said slightly: "My father and second uncle ...... them."
Ye Yi comforted: "They are so powerful, don't you still believe them? Hurry up, they must be in front." ”
Nangong Kui nodded, reluctantly glanced back at the corpse on the ground, and then walked forward.
In the next few minutes, the four of them found several corpses one after another, in addition to the people of the Golden Lion, there were some people they didn't know, and even a few white bones. If they were still a little contemptuous of this, they are now all heavy-faced, and they are not in the mood to make half a joke.
After walking for a while, the fog gradually faded, and I could barely see ahead.
Seeing that the black mist had basically disappeared, Ye Yi asked, "Have we broken through that formation?"
Tianlan withdrew the Wind Imperial Technique and said, "No, we are still in the formation. The black fog was removed by the arrangers in front for some reason, maybe there will be something else, and you can't be careless. ”
As soon as the black fog disappeared, Nangong Kui saw a group of people not far in front of him, including his father and second uncle, who were worried. His excitement was indescribable, and he ran to them without saying a word.
"Xiaokui?" Nangong Mingjing and Nangong Mingqing stood up in surprise when they heard the voice. Nangong Kui pounced on his father and felt the warm body temperature, so he was relieved.
"Xiao Kui...... Aren't you outside?, how could you run in?" Nangong Mingqing was puzzled, and then he saw Tianlan and his group walking slowly, and the doubts in his eyebrows were even greater.
Nangong Kui explained embarrassedly: "I...... We ran into a terrible monster outside, and we stumbled here. He was in the mood to look around at this time, but he was surprised to find that the original team of more than two hundred people was now only more than a hundred people left, except for Nangong Mingjing and Nangong Mingqing and some masters above five stars, most of the rest were injured.
There were many corpses left on the ground, and in addition to human corpses, there were also many animal corpses, most of which were mutilated rat corpses.
"Second uncle, what's going on?"
Nangong Mingqing sighed and said: "As soon as we entered the formation, we knew that it was not good, although we had received news before that the black fog had the ability to confuse the mind, so we should be cautious. But there were still a few brothers who accidentally inhaled the black mist, and we had to ...... them Alas, after passing through the Black Fog Zone, I encountered a lot of strange mice on the ground. These rats are fierce, they are not afraid of death, their iron claws are like swords, and they can escape from the ground, and they are so elusive that we have a great time to repel them temporarily. ”
Nangong Mingjing looked sad, and looked at Nangong Kui even more worried. That's right, at first he wanted to bring Nangong Kui in, but now he found that the danger here was far beyond his expectations, but he began to be glad that he didn't bring Xiao Kui. Unexpectedly, at this time, Xiao Kui suddenly appeared in front of him, which made him very uncomfortable.
He saw the three of Tianlan again and said, "Xiao Kui, what's going on with them?"
Nangong Kui touched his head and said, "We happened to meet." This one...... They also accidentally entered here. Father, Brother Tianlan, they are not bad people, and we can take care of them together. ”
Tianlan and the others walked over and heard Nangong Kui's words, which were obviously towards them, and they couldn't help but have a slight impression of him. Although Nangong Kui looks quite useless, he is quite good, at least not bad. They have known each other for a short time, but they are barely friends who share weal and woe, and it is always easier for people of the same generation to develop a sense of closeness.
"Senior Nangong, we meet again. Tianlan saluted him and smiled.
Nangong Kui suddenly said: "That's right! Father, Brother Tianlan is still a formation mage! He will definitely be of great help to us!"
Nangong Mingjing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Tianlan in disbelief, and said, "What Xiao Kui said is true?"
Tianlan's eyes drooped slightly, and he said softly: "Sort of." ”
"In that case, do you know what kind of formation this is, and how to crack it?" Nangong Mingjing asked.
"A little bit of it. Tianlan was just about to explain to them, when suddenly a mercenary approached quickly.
"Commander Nangong, the casualties have been counted. He glanced at Tianlan and the others and hesitated.
Nangong Mingjing said: "It's okay, the little brothers of Tianlan are not outsiders. ”
"Yes......" The mercenary took out a piece of straw paper full of names, "We have a total of 200 people, and at present 90 people are slightly wounded, 18 are seriously wounded, and we are killed...... Fifty-five...... The total number of casualties was 163 people, and about 127 people are still fighting at present. ”
With each number, his hands trembled. And Nangong Mingjing and the others turned ugly every time they heard a number. After finishing speaking, he handed the list in his hand to Nangong Mingjing. Nangong Mingjing stared at it for a long time before slowly folding it up and putting it away closely.
These are his brothers, all good brothers who entrusted their lives to him...... Although he knew that there would be a lot of casualties in this mission, he still couldn't remain indifferent after hearing these figures. Every name seemed to be that smiling face in front of his eyes, and he seemed to be joking: Leader, I will have to share a little more commission next time......
"Big brother?" Nangong Mingqing patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"I know......" Nangong Mingjing calmed down for a while, buried the sadness in his heart, he was not out of danger in front of him, and he, the head of the regiment, could not slack off.
"Commander Nangong!" At this time, another mercenary in light armor walked over. The mercenary was about thirty years old, with a thin face and a somewhat different costume, not wearing heavy defensive armor or a blade, but extremely light leather armor and holding a wooden staff in his hand.
Warlock of the Earth type...... Tianlan knew the identity of the person who came at a glance, and the earth elements around him were extremely active, as if they had just gone through a big battle, and the active elements had not yet subsided. As for strength...... It shouldn't be low, maybe about four stars, because Tianlan didn't feel pressure from him, which means that the other party shouldn't be much stronger.
"Brother Qin, how is he?" Nangong Mingjing seemed to value this person very much, and personally stepped forward and took a few steps, and then asked in a gentle tone.
The mercenary surnamed Qin shook his head regretfully, and said, "He is too seriously injured, he has already ......" After speaking, he looked around at everyone and his gaze stopped on Tianlan. Just as Tianlan could sense that he was an earth warlock, he could also see the identity of a Tianlan wind warlock. Tianlan nodded to him, and the other party politely returned the salute.
After Nangong Mingqing's explanation, everyone knew that this mercenary's name was Qin Zhongjie, who was a four-star early earth warlock, who had made a lot of efforts in dealing with the land rats just now, and belonged to one of the elites of the Golden Lion. After all, most of the warlocks are noble, and they are easily encircled by the major families, and there are not many people who will risk their lives to be mercenaries, and even fewer of them can reach the four-star cultivation. Qin Zhongjie is also a genius, he can reach a four-star height in his thirties, I heard that he specially came to the mercenary group to hone himself between life and death, this kind of person is also strange among warlocks.
And the person the two of them talked about before was another warlock who came this time, a water warlock. Unfortunately, he was badly wounded in the previous battle, and despite all the best efforts, they were unable to save him.
Nangong Mingjing was still talking to Qin Zhongjie, when the mercenaries were in a commotion, and someone shouted: "Be careful!
