Text Chapter 23 Liangshan Killing
Sun Fatzi was really ruined this time, he even ignored his wife's crying and fighting, and mortgaged his family's ancestral magic field, hired a third-level mercenary team of eight people at a high price, and took Wang Sheng to Daliang Mountain together.
They did not stop in the village at the bottom of the mountain, but went directly to the garrison camp at the mountain pass to report. A team of garrison soldiers from the Castle Lord's Mansion are stationed here, and the captain is an enshrined magician invited by 'Utama Castle', and it is said that he has some skills. On weekdays, they are only responsible for guarding the mineral vein industry in Daliang Mountain and screening the identity of jade miners, and the number of minerals has nothing to do with them.
The magician captain of the garrison camp and the Sun family are also old acquaintances, and he heard that Sun Fatzi was going to personally lead the team into the mountains to clear the demonic beasts, so he also persuaded him bitterly. How could Sun Fatzi be 'Wang Ba eats scales and stones--iron heart' this time, he didn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all, and the next morning he took the mercenary team and Wang Sheng into the mountains and forests of Daliang Mountain together.
They spent the whole day climbing directly to the top of the mountain, camping down in a wooden hut, and dividing into groups every day to search the mountain and drive away the beasts. Of course, Wang Sheng didn't have to go into battle as an attendant, his task was to stay in the house with an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy in the mercenary team to boil water and cook for everyone.
Daliang Mountain is not very high, but the area is very large, Sun Fatzi was just waiting for news in the wooden house at first, and after four or five days, he couldn't bear it anymore and joined the search team.
A few days later, Wang Sheng gradually learned that this group of mercenaries was not locals, they should be regarded as wandering around, taking tasks at will, the kind of traveling team. The eight-member mercenary group were all male, including three strong orc warriors, and the others were all magicians, and listening to their usual chats, they should all be experienced people.
It took seven or eight days for this team to finally find the trace of the monster, and one of the old mercenaries speculated that this was a group of demon wolves with old wounds, there should be about six or seven horses, and their combat effectiveness was not at the peak.
The group locked the direction and began to set traps everywhere, driving the demon wolf into a col step by step.
Two days later, on a gloomy evening, Sun Fatzi fled back in a hurry with the captain of the mercenary team on his back. In the morning, the middle-aged captain and Sun Fatzi went out together, but now they were carried back, and the two of them were covered in blood and messed up, and they didn't know what was going on.
Wang Sheng was chopping wood outside the house, and when he saw the two of them like this, he hurriedly shouted loudly and ran over to help. When Sun Fatzi saw someone coming, he took two steps, left the mercenary captain behind him, and fell to the ground at once.
These two people were dripping blood all the way on the mountain road, and it was really tragic to see, Wang Sheng hurriedly helped Sun Fatzi up, and groped up and down to check his injuries.
At this moment, Wang Sheng suddenly felt that the magic space on his arm shook slightly, and there was a palm-sized, black magic pocket that was stuffed in by Sun Fatzi.
Wang Sheng Zhenyuan swept over and found that there were seven magic crystals in this small pocket, and a large number of unknown bottles and cans. After Sun Fatzi finished stuffing things, he glared at Wang Sheng fiercely, and then closed his eyes and fainted before the other mercenaries arrived.
Everyone carried the two back to the wooden house to rescue, although Sun Fatzi was covered with blood, but he suffered some skin injuries, and at this time he was in a coma because of excessive blood loss.
And the mercenary captain was not so lucky, his stomach was cut by the claws of the demon wolf, and his intestines were exposed. Although the eighteen-year-old boy tried his best to use healing magic, he couldn't survive the next morning.
This team has been established for a long time, and the feelings between the team members are very deep, and when they saw the captain die, several big men cried.
The traveling mercenary teams are all rootless and rootless to fight in the world, and they are buried there wherever they die. After grieving for a while, they dug a deep pit in the back of the hut and buried the middle-aged captain in it.
When Sun Fatzi was unconscious, the other seven mercenaries took turns to come in to visit Sun Fatzi, and they also used the excuse of casting healing magic to touch Sun Fatman's body all over his body, it seemed that they were looking for the black magic pocket.
I don't know if it's true or not, Sun Fatzi was in a coma for two days and two nights, and when he woke up, he learned that the mercenary captain had died, and he immediately cried.
While crying, he couldn't stop patting his chest, saying that the captain had saved his life, and that he was jealous of his talents, etc. Sun Fatzi cried with sincerity, and even the other team members cried again.
After a while, someone vaguely asked Sun Fatzi if he had seen a black magic pocket, he sat on the kang and pretended to recall it for a long time, shaking his head and saying that he didn't see it.
He only said that yesterday, the two of them touched the side of the demon wolf's lair, and unfortunately they were surrounded by four demon wolves. Fortunately, the captain protected him to fight to the death, and he was able to escape by killing two demon wolves in a row, and if he really had a magic pocket, he must have been lost on the way to escape.
After Sun Fatzi explained the location of the wolf's den in detail, the mercenaries glanced at each other and left together. It wasn't until noon the next day that they came back with the corpses of the two demon wolves, and told Sun Fatzi that the other demon wolves had been driven away, and that they had handed over the task this time, and they were just waiting to return to the city to settle the rest of the commission.
These people had obviously gone through a bloody battle, and now everyone was wounded. After a few more days of recuperation in the cabin, they took the corpse of the demon wolf and walked down the mountain.
The death of the captain obviously hit this mercenary team hard, and the few good guys who shouted when they came were all drooping their heads at this time, and their grief was unusually silent.
Sun Fatzi fell at the back of the team, half-supporting Wang Sheng's shoulders, his eyes were always staring at the backs of the people in front of him, and his hands were tightly grasped on Wang Sheng's magic mark.
From time to time, he poked his magic in, repeatedly checking the various items in his magic pocket. I don't know if it's pain or excitement, anyway, the fat man's flesh is trembling.
Because everyone was wounded, the group showed fatigue after walking all morning, and they planned to climb over the bare mountain in front of them and rest on the spot. But who would have thought that they had just climbed halfway up the slope and would roll down from the top of the slope, 'hula', and there were seven or eight stones the size of a millstone.
These mercenary team members, who have a lot of combat experience, saw that the big stone came abruptly, and it was obvious that someone was plotting, so they hurriedly shouted to dodge and gathered in the middle, wanting to surround the healing boy and Sun Fatzi.
But the people on the mountain were even more ruthless, they hid behind the tumbling boulders, shot a feather arrow, and with a 'poof', they nailed the healing mage who was in a hurry to the ground.
This move immediately disrupted the deployment of the mercenaries, and the orc warriors who wanted to withdraw to rescue were mispositioned with the mages in the back row, leaving them without their only chance to resist.
The wind mage in charge of maneuvering in the team, because he lost fire support, was overwhelmed by a feather arrow thrown from the mountain before he could run. This group of people is now completely incapacitated and can only hide under the orc's big shield to resist the beating.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the magician on the mountain also began to make trouble, first a large vine appeared on the ground, frantically rolled towards everyone's legs, and then a series of wind blades, fireballs, and earth bullets smashed down like money.
At this time of life and death, this mercenary group also broke out with a fierce ferocity, they didn't even need to communicate, and they no longer deliberately protected the middle employer, but walked neatly, using shields to cover each other, and retreated into a pile of rubble behind the side.
Sun Fatzi shouted loudly: "Add more gold coins! Add more gold coins!" But the lives of the remaining mercenaries are at stake, where can they care about him.
He and Wang Sheng couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the mercenary group, and they stumbled a few steps before being left outside the shield array. Seeing the opportunity, the enemies on the mountain turned their targets one after another, and threw down a bunch of magic and feather arrows at Sun Fatzi and Wang Sheng.
Sun Fatzi could only protect himself at this time, he pulled Wang Sheng behind him, and quickly made a few handprints with his hands, and his whole body was covered with a silver light, and the whole person suddenly turned into an iron warrior.
Wang Sheng behind him only heard a chaotic sound of 'ding, bang' in front of him, and Sun Fatzi was smashed back a few steps back, but fortunately, he had profound skills, and this round of attacks was all resisted.
Wang Sheng, who was hiding behind, found that no one noticed him at this time, so he took advantage of Sun Fatzi's fat body to roll backwards a few times, burrowing into a bush, and regardless of the branches that pierced the flesh, he ran into the distance.
Wang Sheng crawled very fast, and in a few breaths he jumped to the edge of another slope, and now he was temporarily safe, so he looked behind him by the cover of several boulders.
The fight over there became more intense, and the other party wanted to kill them all this time, and even ambushed people in that pile of rocks. At this time, the ambush soldiers had already fought with the six mercenaries. The enemy on the mountain was also divided into two groups, one group kept suppressing Sun Fatzi to prevent him from having the slightest chance to breathe, and the other group forced the mercenaries to go.
Sun Fatzi's gold defense technique is very good, he has been holding on for half a cup of tea, and so many attacks have smashed on his body, but they have not been able to knock him down. In the midst of the roar, Wang Sheng heard Sun Fatzi's hoarse voice: "Sun Gui, you go first, go home to find your aunt, and go to the City Lord's Mansion to transfer troops to save me!"
Immediately afterwards, Wang Sheng saw that above the hillside, a figure rose into the air and slashed down with one palm. This man was very tall, and his arms were outstretched, and he was able to draw a silver light in the air. His palm was extremely powerful, powerful and strong, and with a bang, he slapped Sun Fatzi at the end of the crossbow to the ground.
This trick fell from the sky, Wang Sheng had seen it, and he was shocked and inexplicable, and he couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Zhao Jingang!"
