Chapter 608: Only those who can be saved
Hearing that the prisoner actually knew about this organization of these people, Jun Lin immediately asked curiously, "What organization?"
"Mercenary Guild. ”
“。。。 ”
Not perceiving the sudden change in Jun Lin's expression, the prisoner continued angrily, "That is, that group of mercenaries who only recognize money and not people dare to do this kind of thing. ”
"Mercenary, didn't you just accept the commission to kill the Yuan Spirit Beast?"
"Yes, don't you know that they will accept the commission? Since it is a commission, it is natural that there are all kinds of things. ”
"Hmm... ”
"Alas~... You're not a mercenary, and you can't understand those outlaws. Killers and thieves have their own work ethic. Mercenaries, anyway, as long as those people have money to take, they can do good and bad things for you. ”
"This... Won't mercenaries be caught doing bad things?" Jun Lin looked quite surprised.
"Brother... Oh, I almost forgot you were from another city... I'll tell you, I don't know what your mercenaries are like, but here in Nine Ridge City, mercenaries are really hard to catch. ”
After a pause, the prisoner showed a wry smile: "There are many sects here in Jiuling City, and there are countless big families and great forces with wealth and background. And the big patrons behind the Mercenary Guild are basically all them. There are so many big backers behind it, so even the City Lord's Mansion has to turn a blind eye to the Mercenary Guild. ”
"So we are like ... ”
"It belongs to those who close one eye. ”
“。。。 ”
Looking at Jun Lin's calm face, the prisoner forced a smile and comforted, "Brother, in my opinion." Let's just endure it now, and it's important to save our lives. I see that the mercenaries only took me to work for them with our free labor, not for our lives. Maybe when the time comes, they'll let us go. ”
Hearing the prisoner's words, Jun Lin couldn't help but look at him amusedly. It's just that although Junlin was laughing, the prisoner couldn't laugh at all. Because he saw Jun Lin's eyes, he was a little cold.
"You're right, when the time comes, they'll indeed let us go. When we have no use value and become like them, they will let us go here. They won't kill us, but when the time comes, will we be able to go back alive?" Jun Lin said in a calm voice, pointing to the other prisoners in the distance who had begun to work with thin and yellow faces.
The prisoner was stunned when he heard this, he thought about it, he was hungry and tired, isolated, and left in this Nine Blood Forest nine hundred miles away from Jiuling City...
After being stunned for a long time, the prisoner grabbed his hair and sat down on the ground, and scolded weakly: "Fuck." ”
However, the next moment, Jun Lin said a sentence in that calm voice that made the prisoner's heart beat faster in an instant: "The greatest hope for survival now is to run now and return to Nine Ridge City." ”
"Brother, you're not kidding, are you?" the prisoner asked in a trembling voice.
"No kidding. ”
"But... ”
"In which direction is the Nine Blood Forest located in Nine Ridge City?"
"West... ”
"Well, then we'll run east. ”
"We?"
"If you don't run, that's me. ”
At this moment, the prisoner really confirmed that Jun Lin was really not joking, he really wanted to run now in order to have a chance of survival. But... He hesitated. What Jun Lin said is indeed very beautiful, if he can run back to Jiuling City alive, it will naturally be a beautiful thing. But if you can't...
The prisoner's own plan was to survive here, as he had said before. He felt that the mercenaries might end up mercifully letting themselves go, and if they did want to abandon themselves here, they would at least have a few more days to live. When the time comes, you can show yourself more, and maybe you can persuade the group of mercenaries to take you back with your own mouth. But now I run with Jun Lin, I really didn't mean to destroy my ambition, there was no point in running away except for dying today.
"And what about them?"
The next moment, the prisoner stretched out his hand and pointed at the other prisoners. When he said this, it was actually a statement of change of direction, a statement that he didn't want to run now.
Jun Lin followed the prisoner's finger and looked at the other prisoners again, and after a few seconds of silence, he finally said helplessly, "They can't run anymore." ”
"Are you going to die?" the prisoner's eyes widened in amazement.
"Can you save it?" Jun Lin asked rhetorically.
"I can't, but I won't。。。 ”
Before the prisoner could finish speaking, Jun Lin interrupted him directly, still replying in a calm voice: "I can only save what I can, so I will let you run with me." ”
"You mean you can take me back to Nine Ridges alive?"
"I'll try to protect you. ”
“。。。 Hehe. ”
After a moment of silence, Jun Lin replied with a sneer that suddenly widened the distance between them, and the prisoner immediately stood up and walked to the pile of shovels and bottles, leaving the last sentence: "Then you take care." ”
Looking at the prisoner's back as he gradually moved away, Jun Lin also said to him, "Take care." After that, he looked up at the sun in the sky, recognized the position below, and immediately sped away directly to the east.
。。。
All the way, unimpeded. It seems that the group of mercenaries is really quite relieved about the free coolies that have been captured. In fact, this is also related to the fact that Jun Lin is not from Jiuleng City, and he does not have the awe of Jiu Lingcheng people for Jiu Xuesen. If it was a native of Nine Ridge City, then most of the reaction would definitely be the same as that prisoner, preferring to stay as a free laborer rather than escape through the Nine Blood Forest.
After running for a while, after making sure that no pursuers were chasing. Jun Lin summoned the pitch-black scythe and wanted to fly away, but the next moment, he put the scythe back away and continued to walk through the forest.
At this moment, Jun Lin had already judged that the forest he flew over yesterday was not the Nine Blood Forest, after all, the two were in completely opposite directions. It was not a wise move to fly wantonly over this nine-blooded forest, which I didn't know how dangerous it was. Although I am in a hurry, the first thing to ensure is to be able to return to Nine Ridge City.
However, although he flew into the sky rashly, Jun Lin climbed a dark red giant tree and occupied the commanding heights to observe the situation ahead. As a result, as soon as I climbed to the top of the tree, a situation suddenly appeared in front of me.
A beast roar erupted about a thousand meters ahead, and the light of the elemental technique that flickered faintly from among the trees instantly attracted attention. This sudden situation made Jun Lin can't help but think of what the prisoner mentioned when chatting before: Today, it is the day when the young heroes of the academy and sect of Jiuling City come to the Nine Blood Forest to participate in the hunting competition.
Could it be someone from Nine Ridges who came here to participate in the hunting competition?
Thinking of this, Jun Lin immediately set off and rushed to the strange situation in front of him. He was going to ask those people if they knew where he was in the Nine Blood Forest, and if he could, then he would be able to determine if he was in the right direction, and predict the distance he needed to travel.
