The headless corpse of the orc lay by the stream, dark green viscous blood gushing from the cut on his neck, and there were many gray scars on his body, which Link looked closely and saw that these scars were covered with gray-white hairs, like white mycelium growing on a rotten plant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

What's even more surprising is that although the corpse has its head cut off, he is not completely dead, and his hands and feet are still twitching one by one, showing the strong vitality in his body.

As he got closer, Link's strange familiarity before became stronger, but it was plausible, and at this moment, Link heard footsteps behind him, someone was coming, it was a few mercenaries from the Red Clay Firm, who should have come to dispose of the corpse.

Link quickly took out a crystal bottle, took a bottle of dark green blood, and then retreated his body, and three magic spells flashed in a row on the way, namely invisibility, levitation, and void walking, and the three magic spells were completed in one go, and his whole person retreated into the air silently and disappeared.

After becoming invisible, he walked around the tall grass and then walked around from another place, pretending to have just come back from his hands.

Not long after he stood still, a mercenary of the mercenary group walked towards the gathering place of the small caravan, and when he got closer, he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the situation is different today, and the night may be restless, the president of the mercenary bank hopes that you can all get together tonight and take care of each other." ”

This dared to be kind, and the merchants glanced at it. If there is a carriage, he puts the reins on the horse's back and pulls the wagon all the way to the rest place of the red clay trading house; Those who did not have carriages led their horses over, and soon more than 300 people were all gathered together, and the carriages and cattle stayed in a circle on the periphery to form a very solid temporary camp.

Link also followed the flow of people forward, and after a few steps, a man with a beard of half a hundred squeezed beside him, who was the father of the girl Sally, Aurang.

He whispered to Link, "Young man, stay away from my daughter in the future!" ”

Link thought it was funny and replied with a smile, "Looks like I never looked for her, right?" ”

After a few seconds, he added: "My daughter is not suitable for you, she is still young and naïve, I only have such a daughter at the age of 40, and I don't want her to be hurt in any way." ”

Link smiled and asked, "Could it be that I am such a person in your eyes, a scoundrel who always thinks about seducing the little girl, and then will hurt her in the end?" ”

Aurang shook his head: "No, I'm not talking about your character, but about your swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is a killing technique, and those who approach it, either kill or be killed. ”

Link asked rhetorically, "What if she has supreme swordsmanship?" ”

Ao Lang smiled bitterly: "We are all just ordinary people, how much can you teach her swordsmanship?" Even if my daughter can really practice some skills, what is it compared to those really strong people? Rather than her dying in the future because of her swordsmanship, I'd rather she never learn. ”

If you don't study, you won't be able to enter the bloody world of the strong, and you will always live the life of ordinary people, maybe humble, but at least you can live a stable life.

This is the survival logic of ordinary people, very wise, Link didn't expect to hear this from a businessman, and glanced at Aurang with a slight surprise.

Aurang sighed: "Young man, there are only two endings for heroes, either immortal or short-lived. The latter is a thousand times more than the former, and I ...... Don't want my daughter to be a hero. ”

Since ancient times, heroes have lived shortly, this is the truth.

Link was convinced by him that he really wouldn't do his best to teach Sally, at most he would give her a few tricks, which was really not to help her, but to harm her.

He spread his hands and said, "Since you said so, then I agreed." ”

"That's good, thanks, young man." Aurang actually saluted Link, and he could vaguely see the shadow of aristocratic etiquette.

Link glanced at him with some surprise, and seeing that he was surprised, Orlando explained: "My father was a powerful knight, and when I was a child, I used to think he was invincible, but he died in battle, and there are no bones left. ”

With that, he staggered past Link, followed by a puffed Sally.

Link shrugged at her, saying he couldn't help it. Sally's tears of grievance were about to fall, and she snorted coldly and ignored him.

Soon, the merchants gathered, and under the guidance of the mercenaries, a well-defended makeshift camp was quickly formed, and the merchants gathered in a large circle of wagons and cattle to start lighting fires and laying bunds again.

So far, everything has been quiet.

Link also found a secluded corner, cut some weeds at random, spread them on the ground not far from the campfire, and spread the blanket he carried with him, and it became a makeshift bed.

By this time it was already getting a little dark, and Link lay down on the cover and closed his eyes, looking like he was resting, but in fact he was reading a magic book.

This is his path of cultivation, and he will not let up at any time.

After watching for more than half an hour, he heard footsteps coming towards him again, and he didn't bother to open his eyes, most of his mind was still looking at the magic book, and a small part of his mind sensed this approaching guy.

This is a mercenary hired by the Red Clay Chamber of Commerce, from the sound of footsteps, Link recognizes him, his name is Alda, the third-in-command of this group of mercenaries, a level 4 early warrior.

He walked up to Link, his footsteps stopped, and his voice rang out, "Young man, I heard that you know swordsmanship?" ”

"Yes." Link nodded, not bothering to open his eyes.

Alda was patient: "You also saw that orc just now, right?" ”

Link nodded.

Alda explained: "Actually, there are two of those strange orcs, one was killed by us, and the other escaped, and we suspect that they are scouts, and maybe they will come and attack us tonight...... Their blood is poisonous, Captain Miro and several good men in the regiment have been poisoned, and we need some good hands to help keep vigil. ”

In his eyes, Link was able to walk alone on the grassland before, not to mention how martial arts he had, he must have a lot of survival experience, and now he was short of manpower, so he naturally came to find someone to help, in fact, Link was not the only one, the whole caravan with great strength and strong body was assigned some vigil tasks by him.

Link happened to be interested in these weird orcs right now, and since he said that, he nodded and said, "Okay, what are your arrangements?" ”

Alda thought that Link was not easy to speak, because the young man seemed very silent all the way, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he was a little happy in his heart, and said: "That's the case, we are short of manpower in the east, if you want, go and help keep watch in the middle of the night, how about it?" ”

"No problem." Link very simply rolled up the fur cover on the ground and walked in the direction of Alda's finger.

Along the way, he paid attention to the situation around him, and he found that the mercenaries were very solemn, and through the crowd, Link saw the poisoned mercenaries.

There were three of them, and the blood on the face of the blind mercenary had been cleaned up, but at this time, his face was thick green, and he looked similar to the orc, his body was still shaking unconsciously, and his mouth was muttering nonsense. He was flanked by two mercenaries who had killed orcs, including the mercenary leader Miro.

Miro is in the best condition, his face is the least green, he can still walk, but judging from his walking posture, Link can see that his physical condition is very bad, and it is estimated that ten percent of his combat power will not be able to play fifty percent at this time, and as time goes by, the deeper the poisoning, the more serious the situation will be.

"If these two orcs are really scouts, then it is estimated that someone will really attack tonight. Forget it, I'll act according to the situation. ”

For now, it was time for him to study the toxins in the orc's blood.

When he got to the ground, Link found that the place where he was keeping vigil was an empty gap in the cargo hold of a wagon, which was quite windproof, and that he was alone, and no one else could see him, which was good.

Link laid himself out of the void and sat inside, listening with one ear to the movements around the camp as he pulled out the orc blood he had collected earlier and began to study its toxicity.

According to alchemy, since it is poison, it must have its properties, and there is a corresponding neutralizing agent. Some poisons will have many attributes, but as long as you follow the regular alchemy techniques, it is still easy to find out the specific poison.

Of course, knowing the properties of poison does not mean that it can be detoxified.

The reason why some poisons are difficult to solve is because various properties are entangled according to complex laws, so the antidote will be very difficult to match, and may even have no solution.

It's like a mathematical equation, maybe it's a combination of Arabic characters and letters, it's very simple, and you can easily understand many equations, but if you really want to take it seriously, you will find that you can't find the perfect solution at all, and you will be angry with you.

At this time, no one paid attention to him, and Link began to try one by one, and after ten minutes, he stopped.

This poison, the toxicity is very simple, and the attribute ratio is also very clear, the basic elements of the five systems of gold, wood, water, fire and earth are entangled according to a certain proportion and method, but its refining method is very special, Link has changed more than 20 kinds of detoxification techniques in a row, but he has never been able to find the corresponding solution.

It was the first time he had seen such a poison since he became a master of alchemy, and this poison-making man was not only highly skilled, but also extremely ruthless!

Link frowned slightly: "It's an incurable poison?" What kind of person is it that actually refines such a ruthless toxin? ’

The poison is incurable, and the poisoned will surely die, Link came out of the hiding place, and took a few looks at the three poisoned mercenaries through the campfire, and a trace of pity flashed in his heart.

At this time, the mercenary leader could still walk, but the poison was getting deeper and deeper, and his strength was constantly weakened, and at this time, he was already showing obvious weakness.

He himself seemed to sense that his death was near, and at this time, a few mercenaries were gathered around him, and he was talking to them. Link listened a few times, and this man was already telling himself about the future.

When he spoke, the mercenary leader did not have much sadness and fear, but rather an indifference that saw through life and death.

Link felt even more pity in his heart: "It's a pity that a talent, a very good mercenary, if you come to my field, inject the power of sunshine." With his talent, his future achievements are bound to be above level 8. ”

Just as he was sighing, a heavy breathing sound suddenly came out of the camp, 'Huh~Huh~' was like pulling a bellows, mixed with many strange humming sounds, Link quickly located the direction of the sound, and it turned out to be the most poisoned mercenary.

He gasped for breath, a snake-like scream came out of his throat, the whites of his eyes quickly disappeared, the whole eye quickly turned black, many white patches appeared on his face, and many white mycelium grew rapidly.

This is almost exactly the same as the orc who was killed! (To be continued.) )
