The Land of Turmoil and Strife, located in the west of the Faren Continent, is composed of five regions: the Death Desert, the Bloodstained Highlands, the Gray Regions, the Dark Forests, and the Dwarf Mountains.

Turning over the rolling mountains on the border of the Holy Federation, the first thing that caught Lin Yang's eye was the endless Desert of Death.

The hot sun shines down, and the yellow sand is everywhere, almost enough to bake an egg.

The group braved the scorching sun and slowly went deep into the desert of death, leaving a series of footprints behind them.

The sun rises and the moon sets, ups and downs, and I walked like this for a few days and nights, and I don't know how many miles I have traveled.

"It seems to be coming this way for us." Simon wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, he was the one who sweated the most because he was carrying the huge insect cocoons that had been turned into fires all the time.

"Don't do anything, see what they want to do." Lin Yang nodded.

After a while, these figures had already come to the front, seven or eight people, all riding jujube red horses under their crotches, ragged, unkempt, weathered, each with a weapon hanging from his waist, and the first one had a long scar on his face, which seemed to know that he was not a good person.

"What for?" The scar man glanced at Lin Yang and the others, and when he saw the brood, he was stunned at first, and then took it for granted as a strange mount, and finally stopped his eyes on Anna and Lily.

"Passing by." Lin Yang smiled.

"Passing by?" The scar man smiled even more heartily: "This area is the territory of poisonous scorpions, and anyone passing by must pay protection money!" ”

"How much is the protection fee?"

"1,000 gold coins per person!" Scar Man looked at Anna and Lily again and sneered, "If you can't get this money, it doesn't matter, leave these two women behind, or you all come with me!" ”

Scratching his head, Lin Yang smiled and said, "Let's go with you, bother the little brother to lead the way." ”

"You're pretty smart." The scar man glanced at the others, so seven or eight people formed a circle, surrounded Lin Yang and the others in the middle, and walked in a certain direction like a sheep.

"Why be afraid of them? It's just a few little minions, can't it be solved by just putting it down? Halfway through, Lily asked in a whisper, a little puzzled.

"I'm just interested in the scorpion's territory." Lin Yang smiled.

Everyone suddenly showed their original looks.

After a few hours in one breath, in the afternoon, the weather was even hotter, and a small oasis finally appeared in the distance.

"How?" Anna looked at the small oasis in the distance, and the voice came over and asked.

"It's still a bit small, and it's far from the standard I have in mind." Sighing, Lin Yang said, "Since they have all arrived here, let's go and have a look first." ”

……

The small oasis is not large, only a few miles in circumference, with a lake in the middle, and the vegetation is not very dense.

A stockade of wood and stone was built on the edge of the lake, and there were about 100 guards, patrolmen, miscellaneous soldiers, etc., and dozens of horses scattered around. Lin Yang and the others were escorted into the village, and the hundreds of people around them suddenly became excited, and they rushed over to surround them, yelling and screaming.

At this time, the poisonous scorpion came out of the hall.

This is a middle-aged man, as his name suggests, with an old face full of beards, one eye blinded and covered with an eye patch, and one palm with an alloy hook installed.

"Little guys, there are guests coming to the door today!" The poisonous scorpion laughed frantically and said, "Give me a good treat for them!" ”

Before the words fell, more than 100 people around pulled out their respective guys and rushed up one after another!

Lin Yang suddenly raised his palm, and a dazzling red light lit up in his palm.

Bang!

A wave of fire spread out in all directions, and the gangsters who rushed to the front immediately flew backwards backwards, spurting blood wildly and igniting all over their bodies!

Seeing this, the others also stepped back, and the scar man never expected that the group of people captured today would be so rebellious, and his expression changed several times.

"Burst flames?" In the distance, the poisonous scorpion was startled and asked Lin Yang loudly: "Are you a jackdaw mage?" ”

"Exactly."

"You and your companions can go, we don't kill magicians!" The poisonous scorpion snapped.

"If you say this after you do it, can I understand that you are scared?" Lin Yang sneered: "Kill!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, Simon was the first to raise his two-handed sledgehammer and roar into the crowd. Lily, Anna, Brain Eater, and others also drew their weapons one after another to kill the enemy. Seeing this, nearly 100 people around also turned red-eyed, they were not good birds in the first place, they used to do murder without blinking, but now they are even more fearless, and they pounced again.

The scene was in chaos for a while.

Screams continued to make people die, blood stained the ground, and stumps and bones were everywhere.

"Uhhh

The brood itself is not fast, and at first no one thinks it is intelligent, so it naturally dodges wave after wave of attacks. And now, the scar man seemed to see something, and slashed directly at the mother nest, which could not avoid it, and finally raised his head.

An invisible divine consciousness attack shot out like lightning, and the scar man was shocked, bleeding from all seven orifices, maintaining the posture of swinging his sword and slashing, and fell down with a bang.

In the distance, the poisonous scorpion saw that Lin Yang's companions were more demonic than the other, and he was completely stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he directly turned over and rode away!

"If you want to go, it's not that easy!" Lin Yang raised his eyebrows, and the afterimage footwork was activated, bypassing one oncoming enemy after another like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had already come to the front of the poisonous scorpion, and the cold ice ring on his fingertips flashed, condensing a cold ice giant axe, and slashed horizontally at the horse's hooves!

The jujube red horse screamed, its four hooves were cut off, and it fell to the ground with a bang, and the poisonous scorpion turned over and jumped out a few meters away.

"Young man, this is the west, no better than the Holy Federation, I advise you not to show too much, otherwise you will die quickly!" The poisonous scorpion shouted.

"It's because this is the west that I decided to deal with you!" Lin Yang said with a smile.

"There are so many little oases like this around, and there are so many people like me that you can't kill them all! And those really ruthless people and big oases, you can't afford to mess with them at all! ”

"It's my business, and no matter what happens to me in the future, you won't see it!" With that, with a wave of Lin Yang's palm, the Ice Giant Axe turned into an Ice Staff, and a bolt of lightning the thickness of a bowl shot towards the poisonous scorpion! Immediately after, fireballs, ice arrows, wind blades, and other spells, one after another, smashed towards the poisonous scorpion like a series of cannonballs, and Lin Yang followed closely behind, rushing towards the other party!

"I'll make you pay!" The poisonous scorpion roared, the blindfold of the left eye burst in vain, and in the hollow eye socket, a scarlet laser shot out, straight to Lin Yang's heart!

It's completely a hard-hitting, lose-lose situation!

Bang!

In the loud noise, countless spells rained down on the poisonous scorpion, and the poisonous scorpion didn't even scream, and its body had been blown to pieces.

On the other hand, Lin Yang never expected that the poisonous scorpion would still have such a hand, the scarlet laser, the speed is incredible, it is unavoidable, when the lightning is shining, Lin Yang's feet moved, and he simply shifted a little distance, and the laser directly pierced the entire left arm.

"Hu ......" narrowly avoided the fatal part, Lin Yang sighed, blood continued to spurt out from the big hole in his left arm, and he quickly tore off a strip of cloth to bandage.

In the battle circle not far away, more than half of the enemies were knocked to the ground by Lily, Anna, Simon and others, and the rest saw the poisonous scorpion killed, and they immediately lost their fighting spirit and threw themselves into it.

……

After a few moments, the whole stockade returned to calm.

The captives who were still alive were stacked in a corner of the courtyard, their hands and feet tied.

More than half of the corpses were thrown outside and became food for the brood.

"In this battle, the enemy killed a total of 67 people, 41 wounded, 8 dead horses, and 33 still alive horses. Just now we counted the loot in the stockade, and found a total of a number of food and fresh water, tens of thousands of gold coins, more than 100 sets of various defective equipment, and ...... Some women with special purposes. Anna said as she counted a booklet in her hand.

"A woman for a special purpose?" Lin Yang immediately understood something and asked, "How many?" ”

"About a dozen."

"This means that each woman has to satisfy more than a dozen men, which is really miserable." After thinking about it, Lin Yang said, "Give them some money and let them go." ”

"And what about these captives?" Anna glanced at the captive in the corner.

"Hmm......" Touching his chin, Lin Yang walked towards the captives: "I don't know how poisonous scorpions usually treat you, and I'm not him, let alone a tyrant." Now I give you two paths, first, work for me from now on, no matter what you have done before, I will ignore the past suspicions! Second, become food for the brood! ”

Prisoners, look at me, I'll look at you.

Strictly speaking, these people are all outlaws, there is no loyalty at all, and they have seen the appearance of the mother nest gnawing corpses before, it is extremely bloody and unacceptable, and several people shouted at the moment: "I am willing to serve you!" ”

With the first person to set an example, there are more and more imitators.

"I do, too!"

"Me too!"

"I will follow you to the death!"

Everyone said a word, and soon everyone swore allegiance to Lin Yang, except for one person.

This is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, who is alone in the corner, and does not speak.

Lin Yang walked up to him and said condescendingly: "Now it's yours left, make a choice." ”

The young man looked up: "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"What's the problem?"

"You said we should be loyal to you, but you didn't say when we could leave you, does that mean we will all fight to the death for you? Then we will all remain your captives and slaves, because you have not given us the corresponding freedom......"

"Freedom." Lin Yang chewed these two words carefully and smiled, "What's your name?" ”

"Andy, I'm seventeen years old."

"Good, Andy." Touching the little boy's head, Lin Yang turned around and smiled: "Now I declare, everyone present, one year later, if you don't want to follow me anymore, then you can leave on your own!" Provided, of course, that you can survive to that day! ”
