The White Bear Mercenary Group is one of the several mercenary groups that are quite famous in Pine Wind City, with more than 50 professionals under its banner, plus relevant staff, there are more than 100 people in the entire mercenary group, and in the whole world, there are not many mercenary groups that can maintain such a scale, so the White Bear Mercenary Group is quite famous in the mercenary world.

Duke is a squad leader of the White Bear Mercenary Group, and today he is routinely patrolling the North Morning Forest with his team as usual, because a few years ago, their mercenary group signed a contract with the Lord of Pine Wind City, and within fifty years, all the materials produced on the land of the North Morning Forest will be owned by the White Bear Mercenary Group.

On the surface, there is nothing in the North Morning Forest, but the core members of the mercenary group like Duke know that under the land of the North Morning Forest, there is a relic of the ancient era buried. There are no traps in the ruins, but there are many powerful monsters that roam the land, and unlike the usual monsters on the surface, they can not only see in the dark, but also have a fast speed of movement, as well as amazing hearing and smell.

The White Bear Mercenary Group has organized several personnel to explore this ruins, and the powerful magical beasts in the ruins have caused heavy losses to the mercenary group, but fortunately, they found a few abandoned magic guides from ancient times on the upper periphery of the ruins, although they can no longer be used, but they were sold to the cyan magic tower and exchanged for a lot of gold coins, which can be regarded as recovering a lot of losses.

The things on the periphery are already so valuable, if you go deep and explore the entire ruins, you will definitely be able to find more and more valuable ancient relics, so now the upper echelons of the White Bear Mercenary Group have regarded Beichenlin as a forbidden place, and mercenaries of other professions are not allowed to come and go at will, of course, those nobles who like to go here for outings are not among them. These wealthy families don't usually investigate ruins and anything like that, they usually come to hunt and find some excitement.

The White Bear Mercenary Group has strong contacts with trusted professionals, and as long as the personnel are fully assembled, they are ready to explore the ruins again in the near future. But until then, we must do a good job in protecting the relics, and we must not let outsiders take the lead.

During today's routine inspection, they actually found that someone had sneaked into the North Morning Forest, but they didn't notice it. Although no human figures have been found now, the traces on the ground cannot be faked.

The person in charge of tracking and clue detection is a thin man, generally speaking, scouts are thin people, one is smart, and the other is that if the body is petite, it is easy to hide and avoid the sight of others.

The thin man's name is Locke. He is a middle-aged man who likes to wear a cuckold, because according to his experience, when he lurks in the grass and woods with a green hat, the chance of others finding him will become very low.

Locke crouched down, touched the ashes on the ground, and walked around the neighborhood before opening his little triangular eye. Said to Duke: "One fire, seven tents. The footprints are six light and one middle school, ordinary people can't do this level, obviously professionals, they went to the woods here. In addition, judging by the residual breath here and the animal bones, they are very particular about what they eat. There are a lot of flavors, this is not the style of mercenaries or adventurers, I personally think they are nobles, after all, there are many professionals among the nobles. ”

Duke nodded, glancing at the woods over there. Then he said, "Since they are nobles, we will ignore them." The tour continued as originally planned. ”

With that, Duke left the meadow with five of his men and headed somewhere else.

Liang Lidong and the others hid in the woods, watching each other leave, and then came out of it.

"Blank set the trap." Caterina looked into the distance, and then she smiled, "But it's okay to avoid trouble." I didn't know what kind of place this was, but when I saw these people, I knew clearly, most of this place was Beichenlin, and I had also heard of the reputation of the white bear mercenary world, and the stupid bear in front of their clothes or leather armor was well known in the mercenary world. ”

Liang Lidong frowned: "Hearing you say this, the White Bear Mercenary Group has a special relationship with Beichenlin?" ”

"Well, although they have covered up the information very well, they sold a few magic guides not long ago, so the mercenary group suspects that the White Bear mercenary group has found special relics in the North Morning Forest, so they are so nervous about this place and send people to patrol from time to time."

After a pause, Caterina continued: "There are many smart people in the mercenary world, and other forces have also sneaked into the North Morning Forest several times, but they haven't found anything, so many forces have nothing to do with this matter, and only keep a minimum of attention to the actions of the White Bear Mercenary Group here in the North Morning Forest. ”

Liang Lidong's expression became more and more bad, the entrance to the ruins was difficult to find, hidden in the woods, and he had to dig several meters of the ground to find it. In the game, they found the place with the help of the system of the game system, and the others wanted to find the entrance to the ruins without any guidance, unless it was a mistake of shit luck.

But now, more than 300 years later, someone has accidentally discovered the entrance, and it doesn't seem to be such a strange thing.

"Your Excellency Beta, our mission will not conflict with the White Bear Mercenary Regiment." Caterina looked at Liang Lidong and asked.

Liang Lidong looked at the other party and asked rhetorically, "If I say that this is true, then what do you think?" ”

"This means that the danger of the mission will be greatly increased, and we will have to cause unnecessary trouble with the White Bear Mercenary Group afterwards." Caterina said with a businesslike look, "That's why we have to increase the commission of the mission, double the price!" The extra gold must be divided equally among the members of this mission. ”

"Okay, no problem."

Liang Lidong readily agreed. On the surface, it seems that Caterina raised the commission halfway through the mission, which is very unkind, but in essence, Liang Lidong knows very well that Caterin's actual face is already very face-giving, and the original exploration mission may actually conflict with another force, which will inevitably greatly increase the difficulty of the task.

After all, with money, everything is easy to do, and even dissatisfaction will be much lower.

After the matter was settled, everyone continued to move forward, because the terrain had hardly changed, and Liang Lidong familiarly led them to a small hill.

There are a lot of woods on the hill. Hiding in it and looking down the mountain, you can see a hidden tower in the small forest at the foot of the mountain, and there are four crossbows on the upper floor, facing each other in four directions, and there is a faint figure haunting the tower.

"Near the tower is the entrance." Liang Lidong observed for a while and said, "But now the sky is not completely dark. Let's wait here, after all, you are all assassins, and you should be more comfortable at night. ”

Caterina nodded in agreement, as a member of the Killer Guild, she knew better what her side would do after the night.

At the same time, Duke and his team patrolled to the western periphery of the North Morning Forest, where he looked at the sun that was about to set, and then at the distant woods that were dyed red by the setting sun. He said, "Let's go back to where we were, Locke, you must find out who is in there, understand?" ”

At this time, his teammates all looked at him in surprise.

Duke asked, "Captain, didn't you just say that you don't need to pay attention to those nobles?" ”

"Aristocrats?" Duke snorted coldly: "If it's a nobleman, how can there be only six people coming out, if it's a nobleman, how can they avoid us." Those bastards with eyes above the top will presumably let us follow them. Be their temporary subordinate and serve them for free. ”

"Captain. Since you don't think they're nobles, why don't you deal with them from time to time? ”

"They are hiding in the woods, and if we rush in, the consequences will be terrible. Haven't you heard of this when Lin Mo enters? Duke smiled sinisterly, "Besides, they pretend to leave, which can paralyze their vigilance, and now they are mostly on their way." Or looking for something, and definitely wouldn't have guessed that we were going to have a horse pistol...... Starf, you go back to the mercenary group and inform the captain, and ask him to bring some people over to support, six professionals. It's a bit difficult to deal with, the others follow us, follow them first, and see what they want to do? ”

Time passed quickly, and when the sun completely sank into the horizon, Liang Lidong flicked his fingers, and the fog magic spread, and the thick fog silently enveloped everything within a radius of 385 meters, including the small tower at the foot of the mountain, which was just at the edge of the thick fog.

According to the information returned from the dense fog, there are a total of eight guardians in the tower, because the fog magic will cut the enemy's sight and hearing, these eight guardians are not strong, and they are in chaos at this time. Caterina and the others, who had been prepared for a long time, turned into six black shadows and quickly 'swam' the position of the tower against the ground.

Liang Lidong walked slowly down the mountain, and by the time he reached the bottom of the mountain, Caterina had already come out of the tower, and she made a 'mission done' gesture to Liang Lidong. The guardians in the tower have all been knocked unconscious by them, and they will never wake up for a few hours.

Liang Lidong withdrew the fog magic, and with his memory, he walked to the west of the tower, jumped up casually, and then walked a few meters to the side, inserted his hands down, went deep into the grass, and then used all his strength to lift the plank that quickly brought the lawn.

Underneath the plank, there is a tunnel that slopes down diagonally, and is very high, about two meters or so. Liang Lidong jumped in first, and then Caterina and the others followed suit.

Walk through a circular tunnel that is not natural or artificial, but a passage dug by a large digger.

The ruins of the Zuze Kingdom retain the well water of the goddess of light, and the breath of light is very strong, so the demonic beasts living in this underground ruins generally grow much larger than those in other places.

The two-meter-tall digging insect is already considered the king of insects in other places, but in this ruin, it is just an ordinary demonic beast bug. However, there are more than 10,000 burrowing insects in this mess, otherwise they will have to dig through more than 100 meters of soil if they want to enter this ruin.

It took more than ten minutes for the seven of them to follow the passage dug by the digging worm, all the way down, and then soon they reached the exit of the tunnel, and then they were entered into a flat underground world.

Although Caterina had been prepared for the possibility of arriving in an incredible ruin, seeing what they saw in front of them made them wonder in amazement.

Their entrance was on a huge stone path, at least sixty meters wide, lined with tall but aging buildings, and above their heads, a large pale white magical barrier in the shape of an umbrella was running, supporting and protecting the entire ruins from being hidden by the soil layer above.

This magical enchantment produced a faint light source, allowing everyone to barely see anything about ten meters in front of them. The only person who was not affected was Liang Lidong, whose Cloud Dragon Blue Pupil talent was too practical, and now he felt more and more that he had chosen this talent at that time, and it was a perfect decision.

Although the sight is not good, the people of the Killer Guild do not have any wavering looks, they are originally a profession that acts in secret, and this environment makes them feel more reticent. This is also the reason why Liang Lidong is looking for the help of the killer guild, not the mercenary union.

"Everyone, pay attention, if you continue to move forward, it will not be too safe. We will encounter a lot of strange monsters, and they are very agile and strong. But they are afraid of the bright light, if it is really dangerous, you can tear these magic scrolls apart, I temporarily infused them with enough magic elements that even ordinary people, within three hours, they can use these magic items. ”

Liang Lidong handed over the six flash magic scrolls.

At the same time, Duke led his team, and under the pursuit of Locke the Skinny, they quickly found him.

Duke looked at the tower, and he sneered: "I knew these guys were not well-intentioned, they were really coming for the ruins." ”

After a while, Locke ran out of the tower, and he said hurriedly: "Captain, the guardians of the tower have all fainted, although no one died, but we know that we can't wake them up in time. ”

As soon as Locke heard this, he walked to the west of the tower, and soon found the entrance to the ruins, although Liang Lidong and they went in, and covered the entrance, but after all, there were still some traces, Locke's face changed greatly, he forcefully lifted the wooden plank of the entrance, looked at the string of shallow light seals below, and his expression became quite ugly: "They actually entered, this place is only known to three of our mercenary group, who told them this secret?"
