Wen Hao's actions and words made everyone understand that he was not lying, so in the next battle, no matter how much the thorn shield in his hand stopped his strength, those young mercenaries did not dare to throw it away, and this reason directly caused the next few waves of war to be more cruel, and every time they came down, several people would be injured to varying degrees.

After the four waves of the battle, all the mercenaries were so tired that they couldn't walk, but Wen Hao didn't let everyone rest, but continued to move forward until they walked for two hours, and after encountering the six waves of strange beasts, everyone couldn't walk anymore, and it was a little difficult to even stand firm.

There was really no way, Wen Hao had to order to camp on the spot, after a hectic situation, a simple camp was finally set up, and everyone thought they could rest, but Wen Hao didn't let everyone rest at all, but gave each person a pill, and then let everyone sit cross-legged and cultivate.

During the day, there was a lesson from the past, and everyone had no choice but to take the pill and drag their tired bodies into cultivation, and on the way to cultivation, a few people were so tired that they couldn't stand it, and they actually took the opportunity of cultivation to sit and fall asleep.

If it was someone else, they would definitely not be able to find out, but what everyone didn't expect was that they were all discovered by Wen Hao, and in the end, everyone was rewarded with five whips, which scared everyone into not daring to be lazy anymore, so they had to cultivate honestly.

While everyone was practicing, Wu Yong and the others also built a few bonfires, and there were a few strange beasts killed during the day on the fire, and when the mercenaries woke up from their cultivation after dark, each of them got a large piece of roasted golden barbecue meat and half a bowl of wine, which made the mercenaries very happy.

Eating and resting, Wen Hao stipulated that there was only half an hour, so after everyone was excited for half an hour, they were ordered by Wen Hao to cultivate.

On the first day of entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, all the mercenaries spent this kind of high-intensity cultivation, and on the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Wen Hao ordered to pack up the camp and continue to move forward.

After walking for five days in a row, Wen Hao and the others had entered the Ten Thousand Beast Forest for a hundred miles, and in this place, the strange beasts that appeared had also changed from the original level one to the third level, and even occasionally encountered one or two fourth-level strange beasts.

After a few days of adaptation, the weight of the stabbing shield and the Yanling knife had less and less impact on the mercenaries, and after a few days of high-intensity training, the mercenaries not only had a great improvement in their actual combat experience, but also a few of them successfully broke through, which greatly inspired everyone's morale.

However, after all, the strength of these young mercenaries is limited, and it is very difficult to face the third-level strange beasts, if they encounter more than three third-level strange beasts at the same time, they don't even have the strength to fight, and they all have to rely on Wu Yong and others to make a move.

Wen Hao still understands the truth that if it is too rigid, it is easy to break, although his goal is to let everyone break through under high-intensity pressure, but if the pressure is so great that it is not something they can bear at all, he can easily destroy their confidence.

Therefore, Wen Hao decided to camp on the spot, train here for a period of time, and wait for everyone's strength to improve, and then continue to advance.

After receiving Wen Hao's order, everyone was excited, found a flat place, and everyone worked together, and in less than an hour, the tent was erected, and even everyone cut down some trees and erected a wooden fence around the camp to prevent the surprise attack of strange beasts.

"Now I'll talk about your next mission. Wen Hao looked at the mercenaries standing straight in front of him, after a few days of training, the greenness on their faces had been eliminated a lot, and they were replaced by maturity and fortitude, which proved that they were maturing step by step.

"In the future, the team led by Niu Er is the first team, the team led by the madman is the second team, the team led by Wei Rongguo is the third team, and the team led by Jiang Runhua is the fourth team, each of your four teams must hand me a third-level strange beast every day, as for how to get the strange beast, that is your business, if you get a higher-level strange beast, I will give you a reward, if you can't pay it, I'm sorry, I don't have anything to eat. ”

"In addition, one team will be left as the duty team in turn every day, the main task of the duty team is to guard the safety of the camp and help the other three teams prepare food, if the other three teams are in danger, the duty team will also be a rescue team, in addition, from today on, in order to let you quickly improve your strength, I will prepare some medicines that are good for your cultivation, and these will have to be helped by the duty team in the future." ”

"In addition, in this Ten Thousand Beast Forest, all kinds of resources are also extremely rich, especially medicinal herbs and ores, if you encounter them while doing tasks, you must also collect them, and I will give you rich rewards at that time. ”

"The above is your future cultivation arrangement, now I will tell you about the living arrangement, three meals a day, I will prepare three catties of barbecue for each of you, and there will be half a bowl of wine at dinner, whether it is enough or not, you are not allowed to prepare food by yourself, if you perform well, I will increase food for them, of course, if you perform poorly, or make mistakes, I will also deduct food. ”

Saying that, Wen Hao glanced at everyone, although Wen Hao's arrangement was very harsh, but none of the mercenaries objected, and there was not even a trace of surprise, after getting along in the past few days, everyone had great trust in Wen Hao, in their hearts, all the arrangements made by Wen Hao were for their good.

"Very good, I am very happy with your performance. Wen Hao nodded, and was about to turn around, when he suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "In order to respect the strong, and also to commend the team that has made rapid progress, in the future, the four of you will have to compete once a month, and the first winner will receive double the food and wine next month, and their clothes will also be washed by the last one." ”

"And the team that won the last place, except for washing the clothes of the team that won the first place, there will be no wine next month, if it is the last place for two consecutive months, then all the members of this team will slap each other ten times in public, and the first competition will be held in fifteen days, do you hear clearly?"

"Hear me clearly. Everyone replied in unison, at this time everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, although the reward for the first place set by Wen Hao was nothing, but it was an honor, especially the last place, not only did he not drink alcohol in January, but he also had to help the first place wash clothes, although this is nothing, but the face is lost, especially the team that was the last in two months, and they had to slap each other in public, it was a naked humiliation, when they thought of this, who would dare to slack off.

"Okay, the first team will be on duty today, and the other teams will act according to my orders. ”

Subsequently, Niu Er and the ten people of the first squad immediately dispersed and took charge of guarding around the camp, while the other three teams did not move, all of them stood straight, looking at Wen Hao, waiting for his order.

Looking at the silent crowd, Wen Hao nodded with satisfaction, and with a wave of his right hand, a bunch of things appeared in front of him, dozens of large iron pots with a diameter of one meter and five, and dozens of huge wooden barrels large enough to sit on an adult, they were neatly stacked together, like a small mountain.

Everyone looked at the things that suddenly appeared in front of Wen Hao, and they all looked at Wen Hao suspiciously, they really didn't understand, what was the use of these things, for them who were mercenaries outside, they could make a fire to roast meat, and they didn't need a pot at all, as for those wooden barrels, in this forest, couldn't they be used to bathe?

"I know you are very confused why I took out these things, and now I will tell you that these iron pots are used to boil potions to improve your strength in the future, and these wooden barrels are used to make potions for you. Wen Hao looked at everyone with a smile and said, "So now, your task is to dig twenty earthen stoves for me, place these iron pots, and in addition, move all these wooden barrels to the tent, understand no." ”

"Understood. Everyone responded in unison, their voices were high-pitched, full of excitement, as a martial artist, there was nothing more exciting than hearing that they could improve their strength, so then, everyone started together, excited, but also extra cautious, for fear of breaking those wooden barrels and iron pots.

The mercenaries all went to work separately, and the rest, except for Wen Hao, were only Wu Yong, Lei Jun, Sun Hai and Uncle Mo.

"Commander, are these iron pots and wooden barrels really as you said?" Lei Jun asked softly towards Wen Hao, with a faint excitement between his eyebrows.

"Of course, I'm ready for all the medicinal herbs!" Wen Hao said with a smile.

"Although the alchemist can refine countless pills to improve his strength, he has never heard of it, and the potions boiled out can also improve his strength!" Sun Hai said with some doubts.

"Although most of the pills need to be refined by alchemists, some recipes can still be boiled by the soil method, although the effect is definitely not as good as that made by the alchemist, but there are dozens of people here, and I am refining alone, even if I am tired and too busy." Wen Hao shrugged helplessly and said.

"I see. When everyone heard this, they nodded in unison, and Uncle Mo couldn't help but ask Wen Hao: "Commander, you see that I have a handful of old bones, is this potion still effective for me?"

"Don't worry, this potion is very mild, in addition to enhancing strength, it can also soften the muscles and bones, which is just as effective for you. Wen Hao comforted.

"That's fine, then we'll go and help. When everyone heard this, their faces showed excitement, and they shouted to help.

"I don't need you to help, but I have one thing here that I need your help with. Wen Hao said, he took out a few big bags from the bracelet and put them on the ground, and as soon as he opened the bags, there were bags of divided medicinal herbs: "I have divided these medicinal materials, you take one bag at a time, pour a pot of water and boil for two hours, which can be used for two people to soak for two hours." ”

"Yes. Wu Yong and the others did not hesitate, each of them carried a bag, and walked towards their respective tents.

It wasn't until Wu Yong and the others entered their tent that Wen Hao turned around and found a place where no one was there and went to cultivate.
