Chapter 18

In the last week of March, when a number of hunting teams and mercenary groups set off one after another, Uncle Zhang's mercenary team finally broke the news that they were going to enter the mountain.

The nature of the hunting team and the mercenary group is not much different, they are all organized by a group of people, and the purpose is to go into the mountains to collect elixir and hunt magical beasts.

However, compared to hunting parties, mercenary groups generally have predetermined goals, such as accepting the employment of a certain pharmacy and drug dealer to collect some rare elixir, or accepting the task of a mage and enchanter to hunt the core and blood of a certain magical beast, in addition to accepting other commissions to find a missing person or explore an ancient ruin, etc. Of course, if you encounter other elixirs and demonic beasts on the road, or see any spirit stones, gems, etc., you will never pretend not to see them.

In addition, mercenary groups are more organized and more honor-oriented, and their targets are often more difficult than hunting parties, and therefore more dangerous.

In each city-state, there is a mercenary hall, where mercenaries usually accept commissions from their employers. Each time they complete a mission, they will earn a certain number of points, and when the points reach a certain value, the level of the mercenary group can increase. The higher the level of the mercenary group, the more commissions it can accept, and the more generous the remuneration will be.

The scale of the mercenary group headed by Uncle Zhang is not large, in fact, it is just a mercenary team of about 20 people, and the level has just been upgraded to the third level. But the last time I entered the mountain, I encountered a high-level demonic beast, several people were killed or injured in the regiment, and the mission failed, and the strength of the entire regiment was greatly injured, and it has not fully recovered until now.

Fortunately, this time they have only received a second-level commission, which is not very difficult. However, the pay is not low, and it may even be higher than the pay of the last level 3 mission.

This commission came from a medicine merchant in Luoyang City, and he wanted to find several rare elixirs, one of which was the soul grass. Moreover, he said that the more soul grass there was, the better, and the reward was also high, 50,000 gold coins per plant, which was even higher than the last auction price.

This pharmacist heard that Uncle Zhang had found more than a dozen soul grasses last time, so he came to the door on purpose. I heard that there is an urgent use, but there is no one on the market, so this is why the price is so high.

Last time, although Uncle Zhang didn't pick the soul grass himself, he did pick a few plants in a valley at the eastern foot of Heishan before, so he took it.

Since he is going to enter the mountain, Uncle Zhang will never accept only such a commission, he also wants to go to the mercenary hall to have a look, and he wants to find a few more commissions that are not very difficult. In addition, this time the regiment had to recruit a few more people, and it was necessary to make some preparations for entering the mountains, which delayed the time for a few days.

Let's talk about the two brothers, Ah Jian and Shishi, they heard the news that Uncle Zhang's mercenary group was going to enter the mountain, and they were recruiting, so they discussed going to Uncle Zhang. Either way, they can't afford to miss this opportunity!

On the day they went, Uncle Zhang happened to be at home, and there were many guests at his house, most of whom were members of the mercenary group.

"Two boys, why did you come to Uncle Zhang's house? Do you think Uncle Zhang's family has nothing good to entertain you? Seeing that your Aunt Zhang is talking all day long, my ears are about to grow calluses!"

As soon as he saw the two of them enter the door, Uncle Zhang was very happy, and he smiled and scolded a few words.

"How can it? During this time, the teacher assigned a lot of tasks, so I couldn't spare time to see you and Aunt Zhang. No, as soon as we finished the mission, we were in a hurry to see the two of you, so you don't want to bury us anymore. ”

"You guys are really, you haven't been here for half a month, haven't you? Ah Hong and the three of them often come to discuss something with my family, this is also cultivation, why are you two so busy? Tell me, what tasks did the teacher assign to you? What have you learned now?"

When Aunt Zhang saw them here, her eyes were red, she was holding them with both hands, and there were endless complaints in her mouth.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have come to see you for so long, I promise not next time. "Ah Jian is obedient, knowing that he will follow her first.

"These days, the teacher has indeed assigned a little more tasks, plus I have just started to practice magic, and the fighting spirit of the stone has just begun, so I am a little busy. If you ask us what we've learned, you'll be amazed at what we've learned, we've all changed. ”

"Cut, two little kids who are less than ten years old have only studied cultivation for a few days, and they have changed a lot? Don't you feel ashamed to speak out in front of so many uncles and uncles?

Aunt Zhang was immediately happy when she heard Ah Jian's words, and made a gesture in her hand to fight, but her face was full of smiles, and Uncle Zhang and everyone in the room also laughed.

"Really, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang, I didn't lie to you, I know a lot of magic, and now I am not afraid of even if I encounter a demonic beast. Why don't I put one on for you?"

As he spoke, he straightened his magic robe and raised the magic staff in his hand.

Looking at Ah Jian's pretending appearance, how could Uncle Zhang not understand their intentions, he frowned, and asked:

"Tell me what kind of magic you know?"

"Well, fire magic has the Flame Hand and Blazing Orb, water magic has Freeze, earth has earth shield, thunder has lightning, wind has wind and wind, and light has a healing technique. How's that, awesome?"

"Oh, that's really good, there will be so much magic!Ah Jian, I remember that you are a whole system of magic talents, why do you want to practice them all? Isn't it better to practice multiple magic talents in a single system?"

said that it was good, but Uncle Zhang's brows wrinkled even tighter.

Our teacher said that although the power of a single magic of multi-system magic may not be as good as that of a single system of magic, there may be special powers that have not yet been discovered. ”

At this time, Ah Jian had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Is your mentor Dean Feng of the First Academy?"

"Yes, he is also a dual magical talent of wind and thunder, and he has also refined both. ”

"That's right! Dean Feng is a super strong man. And how powerful are your magic, and do you have time to cast spells on the beasts?"

"It's okay, look at my cryomy, I can freeze the monster so much that it can't move, so what can it do to me? Besides, the stone is in my way, and with his fighting spirit, only we can hurt the monster, and it doesn't hurt us. ”

Seeing that Uncle Zhang was still a little unconvinced, he had no choice but to pull the stone out and say something.

"What exercises did you practice on that stone?"

"My exercise is called "Breaking the Sky", and the teacher said that this is an exercise that I don't want to do, as long as I keep practicing, I will have the possibility of becoming a god in the future!"

"Stop bragging, get down to business!"

"I've already broken through the level 2 Dou Qi, and my strength should be more than 1,000 catties, and it's no problem to resist ordinary low-level demonic beasts head-on. Besides, with Ah Jian cooperating with me, I'm just blocking it temporarily, and he attacks with magic, so it should be fine. Uncle Zhang, just let us go together, we won't hold you back!"

The stone is really straight-hearted, and in a few words, it is a dagger.

However, as soon as this remark came out, a group of stupid people immediately heard it, and the room suddenly became lively.
