Chapter 358: Convoy

"This place is a little weird, little ha, don't run around. ”

Lin Fan stopped Erha, who was constantly spreading joy in front, and looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly.

They are now in a primeval mountain forest.

There is a vine plant called Purple Mist Spirit Vine growing in this primeval mountain forest, and it is everywhere, so the entire mountain forest is filled with a faint purple mist.

This kind of mist has some promoting effect on the cultivation of the cultivator's star power, but it is not so friendly to the spiritual power, even if it is Lin Fan, the spiritual power that could easily be released here is also suppressed in his body.

Moreover, in this mountain forest, there are countless purple mist spirit vines, which can be seen everywhere, and almost every big tree is wrapped with such purple spirit vines, so there is such purple mist everywhere in this mountain forest.

The visibility was only about 100 meters, which also caused Lin Fan to fall into it, and from time to time, the star beasts living in it came out to attack, so that Lin Fan had no way to pass through quickly.

After separating from Zou Sifang, Lin Fan plunged into this place, and now five days have passed.

Spinning around like a headless fly for a long time, Lin Fan was now a little unsure of where he was.

It's just that I can be sure that I have been heading towards the east, and the main direction is still not wrong.

Although it was said that he had been moving towards the east, when Lin Fan returned to the boulder that he had carved three knife marks again.

He had to admit that he seemed to have been lost in this purple mist.

Stopping Erha, he took out the map given by Zou Sifang, Lin Fan looked at it for a while before muttering: "I have been walking for three days, and according to the map, the entire Purple Mist Spirit Vine Forest only covers more than half of the jungle in the middle of Jiangning County and Xiaofeng County, that is, about three hundred miles in a radius. ”

"In three days, in addition to resting and recuperating, according to my speed, plus some bypass mountains, I should have walked about 500 miles. ”

Raising his head, he looked through the purple mist at the position of the somewhat hazy sun.

"If the map and my speculation are correct, my current location should be in this marginal area!"

Lin Fan pointed to the intersection of green and purple on the map with some uncertainty, and asked Erha, who was tilting his head and looking at the map with a confused expression.

"Jiangning County, Huai'an City, it should be here. ”

"You said yes, little ha. ”

"Woo big brother is right!"

Hearing Lin Fan's inquiry, Erha was only confused for a moment, although he couldn't understand the map, it didn't prevent him from agreeing with his eldest brother's statement.

Shaking his head, Lin Fan reluctantly put away the map, and once again identified the direction before continuing to walk down.

Three days ago, after he killed the ancestor of the Sun family, he ran into Zou Sifang, who claimed to be the deacon of Xingyu Commercial Bank.

After the persuasion of his three-inch incorruptible tongue, coupled with the technical sales equivalent to the senior salesman in the previous life, Lin Fan also had to agree to him.

When he arrives at the Imperial City of the Prosperous Dynasty, he will find time to go to the Imperial City Branch of the Xingyu Commercial Bank to participate in the assessment.

Do your best to pass and become one of them.

Of course, Lin Fan wanted to join it, not for a nine-percent discount on buying things, nor for any intelligence that spread throughout the entire continent, nor for any one-percent discount on transmission fees, but purely to join a big force and see the world.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to get out of here first, rubbing Erha's dog head helplessly, Lin Fan put away the map and prepared to move on.

Even if it is not in the sphere of influence of Huai'an City, it is at least in Jiangning County.

Anyway, there was a three-month time limit when I took the task myself.

It's only been about half a month now.

It's still a long time.

It's a big deal to go around again.

Lin Fan really had no way to determine where he was now.

It can only be to walk out of this purple mist spirit vine-covered realm first, and then walk out of the ordinary jungle that is probably less than two hundred miles, and then talk about it.

If you waste time, you will waste some of it, and you will think of it as an experience.

"Big brother, there are people in front of you, as well as star beasts, and treasures. ”

Just after walking a few steps, Erha looked up at Lin Fan with an excited face and said, when he said baby, the original amber eyes seemed to have turned green.

Sticking out his tongue with excitement on his face.

For the baby or something, Lin Fan didn't care.

The key is that there are people!

But how did Erha sense it?

There is nothing in front of me in my own senses.

Looking at Erha's constantly shimmering nose, Lin Fan couldn't help but shake his head, you are a moon-loving wolf!

"Then let's go!"

Lin Fan's eyes lit up, he dared to come here to wander, it was definitely not an ordinary person, at least he knew the way, following Erha, the two quickly sank into the purple mist.

"Boom!"

"Roar"

As we got closer, I heard the roar of the star beast and the roar of the star beast.

The fluctuations of star power in front of him also became obvious.

The figure flickered, and Lin Fan arrived at one of the giant trees.

There was a battle ahead, and Lin Fan didn't rush out, looking down at the giant tree.

The scene in the field is in full view.

Above the clearing, the purple spiritual mist that was originally shrouded was already blown by the strong wind formed by the fierce battle at this moment, and it didn't know where it was drifting towards.

Dozens of people were just gathered together, back to back, and around them were hundreds of star beasts.

Hundreds of hideous-looking terrifying star beasts continued to pound the camp behind them.

If you look closely, you can find that the eyes of these star beasts are blood-red, and they are full of tyranny, and they do not have the wisdom of ordinary star beasts at all.

However, although these star beasts were tyrannical, most of them had not yet hit the camp or were directly bombarded into pieces by the star power beam.

Only a few star beasts could barely carry everyone's star power attacks and rush in front of everyone, but they couldn't escape the fate of being killed.

"Commander, when is this a head, how can these beasts be so desperate!"

In the crowd, a strong man wielded a giant axe to easily split a star beast that had just stepped into the third rank in half, and cursed.

"Let's hold on a little longer, these star beasts are not led by leader-level star beasts, and soon these beasts will retreat. ”

A middle-aged man in black armor stood in front of everyone, on the skin that came out, full of power, the big sword in his hand was constantly waving, and the star power around his body was permeated, killing the star beasts that rushed up one by one.

This person's strength is the strongest among them, and in Lin Fan's opinion, it is already quite good.

Looking at his relaxed appearance of killing the third-grade star beast and some of the aura overflowing from his body, at least he was a strong man who had condensed the platinum pill, and he had rich combat experience.

In the face of the slaughter of many star beasts, his face was not flustered at all, and he calmly waved the big sword in his hand, killing the star beasts one by one, and took care of the mercenaries beside him from time to time.

Seeing that they could deal with it, Lin Fan did not rashly show up when they were fighting at this moment, but quietly observed the strength of this mercenary group.

The strongest in this mercenary group are two men and one woman, and three strong men.

These three are all in the late stage of the Jindan Realm or even higher.

And the rest of the people, all of them are above the Star Pill Realm.

Among them, there are only three in the Xudan Realm, two women and one man, all three of whom look very young, but none of them participate in the battle, but take care of the supplies behind.

And there are more than a dozen of the remaining Jindan realms, most of them are in the early and middle stages, and most of them are condensed ordinary Jindan.

The ones who were left the most were the cultivators of the Shi Dan realm.

They are the middle force of this mercenary group.

In general, if this mercenary group is placed in some small towns, it is enough to be the kind of existence that is the king and hegemon.

Even in some big cities, it can occupy a place.

The battle here lasted for nearly half an hour, and those star beasts slowly retreated after dropping their corpses.

Lin Fan noticed that when those star beasts retreated, the blood-red color in their eyes had also dissipated before that.

These star beasts seem to have a problem.

And as those star beasts retreated, these mercenaries, regardless of men and women, didn't care about the blood on the ground, most of them were panting and sitting on the ground, looking extremely tired.

And the three young mercenaries who had just not participated in the battle hurriedly distributed some of the food and water they had prepared before to everyone, so that they could replenish their energy in time.

Some cultivators with less loss will already start to collect materials from the Star Beast.

Some of the mercenaries who had been fighting at the forefront of the battle still insisted on throwing an elixir into their mouths, suppressing the exhaustion in their bodies, and began to recover their star power, which had been lost too much before.

In this crisis-ridden purple mist jungle, losing combat power is not a pleasant thing.

The battle was over, and everyone went about their job.

In the camp, it was busy.

Seeing that everyone was tired, but still able to perform their duties, the middle-aged armored man smiled, and just wanted to say something, his face suddenly changed.

The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the star power was mobilized in an instant, and his eyes turned to the purple mist on the side in vain, and shouted: "Come out!"

Hearing the middle-aged shouts, the mercenaries who had just sat down grabbed their weapons and stood up again, looking in the direction of the middle-aged man's gaze, with the intention of starting a war if they didn't agree.

Under the gaze of everyone, a black-robed figure carrying a war knife slowly walked out of the purple mist.

Looking at the many mercenaries who were staring at him, Lin Fan hugged two palm-sized Erha, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I just sensed that there is a star power fluctuation here, so I came to check it out, and there is no malice!"

Seeing that it was just a young man from the Shidan Realm, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but as mercenaries, they would not let their guard down because of this.

In the jungle, how could he run over for no reason because of some star power fluctuations.

"Hehe, actually, I got lost in this purple mist, so if you want to find someone to take me out, this place should be at the boundary of Jiangning County now!"

"I don't know if this uncle can take me for a ride, as long as I get out of this purple mist. ”

Lin Fan smiled helplessly, and asked the middle-aged man in the lead, he was really a little uncomfortable after wandering around in this purple mist for five days.

I think that he is the eldest young master of the Lin family, a person like Tianjiao, an underground powerhouse with ten years of experience as a bounty hunter, and the owner of the Supreme Treasure Refining Demon Pot, would actually encounter such a thing as getting lost.

"This little brother is from Howling Wind County, and wants to cross the Purple Mist Jungle into Jiangning County?"

The middle-aged head of the regiment stared at Lin Fan and suddenly asked out loud.

"Well, I see that uncle, you seem to be going back, you should be from Jiangning County. ”

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if Uncle can take me for a ride, of course, I will give the corresponding reward, as long as Uncle you can take me out of this Purple Mist Jungle." ”

"After that, I can go out on my own. ”

"No, our team won't take a stranger on the road, so you might as well go. ”

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, three young men and women who were originally distributing food and water to everyone walked up.

The three of them glanced at each other, and after looking at Lin Fan, one of the women in red shook off the obstruction of the other two, took a step forward, and stood behind the middle-aged man.

Then, as if he was afraid that the middle-aged man would agree, he said quickly in a low voice.

"Dad, we are being entangled now, and suddenly a strange boy appeared, who knows if he was sent by that person. ”

"With the cultivation of the Shi Dan Realm, you crossed the Purple Mist Jungle from Howling Wind County to here, and you just happened to find us, do you think it's possible?"

"Moreover, this young man is also accompanied by a star beast, and that person can also drive away star beasts. ”

Hearing her words, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, but he didn't drive Lin Fan away immediately, but stared at the smiling Lin Fan for a while, and then spoke with a slight groan: "This little brother, our mercenary group, has recently provoked some people, so it's actually not safe to follow us." ”

"However, as a human race, in this purple mist jungle, I am not unwilling to lend a hand, as long as you are not afraid of trouble, little brother, follow us, we can take you out of the purple mist jungle, as for the reward or something, it will be exempted!"

"Father!" the middle-aged man said yes, and the woman in red hurriedly shouted.

But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by a middle-aged woman wearing a leather armor with two knives on her back.

"Ying'er, listen to your father!"

The young woman named Ying'er seemed to be very afraid of the middle-aged woman, her lips opened slightly, she glared at Lin Fan, and her long legs stomped on the ground a few times before she retreated angrily.

When they arrived, the two young men looked at each other from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about.
