Chapter Twenty-Nine: Danger lurks
The speed of progress is obviously slower than before, and now there is no guide to lead it, and the royal mercenary group can only rely on the long stick in their hands to explore slowly.
As he gradually deepened, Leng Qiuqiu's sense of crisis became more and more serious, although there was nothing abnormal within the range of his mental power perception, he knew that danger was coming, and he turned on the battle armor.
"Da Da ......" There was a sudden sound of gunfire in front of him, and then the gunfire in the rear also rang out, and the thick fog blocked the view, and the front and back were blank, and I didn't know what was going on.
Leng Yuqiu's eyes froze, stopped advancing, and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
"Hmm" A straight strip suddenly stretched out from the quagmire on the right side, like a spear, and shot quickly towards Leng Qiuqiu, he had already taken precautions, flashed sideways, raised his hand to the place where the attack was issued, and a ball of blood splashed in the quagmire, and something was exploded by him.
Leng Yuqiu put the silence in his right hand into Chenxing, took out a laser sword, and popped out the blade to guard the surroundings.
There were people in front of and behind who were hit by the same attack, and one after another was shot through the object, and the shouts, screams, and gunshots were all in one.
Leng Yuqiu was constantly attacked, and he was blocked and killed by Leng Yuqiu, but he never knew what was the attack, and the attacks continued one after another, as if endless.
He was a little anxious, he should hurry forward at this time, and he couldn't stay where he was, otherwise he really didn't know when he was going to fight, but there were people blocking the front and back, and there were swamps on both sides, which was really a dilemma.
There were also people who couldn't stand such a passive situation, running forward or backward from both sides of the line, but they slipped into the mire one after another, and were swallowed up by the mire in his mournful cries for help.
In the middle of the ring, the team finally moved forward, and Leng Yuqiu followed, killing the unknown attacker as he went.
It seemed like a century had passed, and Leng Qiuqiu finally stepped on an open field.
The attacks in the swamp did not stop, and everyone fought in the open field and shot into the swamp.
The two mechs of the royal mercenary group were standing on the shore, and those attacks hit the mech's legs at all, and they could not do the slightest damage to the mecha.
The two mechs simply ignored those attacks and fired at the swamp.
By the time all the living people had run into the clearing, the attacks dwindled and eventually disappeared.
Someone fished up the body of the attacker, and everyone finally saw the true face of the attacker, which turned out to be a huge frog, the head was half a meter long, and the strips that attacked them were the frog's tongue.
These frogs are all monsters, someone took out a soybean-sized magic crystal from the frog's head, and then threw away the frog's corpse, but unfortunately the vast majority of frog corpses have sunk into the swamp and can't be fished up, otherwise so many magic crystals are a lot of valuable wealth.
The battle suffered heavy casualties, and the original large army of more than 1,000 people was directly reduced to more than 100 people, and the remaining 800 people still had many wounded.
Less than ten people died in the royal mercenary group, and after landing on this open space, Leng Yuqiu found that there were more than forty people in the royal mercenary group who had combat armor, and five of them were heavily armed guards wearing heavy armor.
The other mercenary groups are much shabby compared to one of them, and the blood oath is still a bit interesting.
As soon as he encountered the first wave of demonic beasts, he lost more than a hundred people, and the horror of the Nine Shadows Swamp really lived up to its name, Leng Yuqiu's heart moved, and he secretly asked the Holy Demon: "Dead old ghost, have you been to the Nine Shadows Swamp before?" ”
The Holy Demon's voice was still lazy: "Of course, there is no place in the entire continent that I haven't been!" ”
"The cattle on the continent have blown you away!" Leng Yuqiu said: "Then what are the powerful demonic beasts in this Nine Shadows Swamp?" ”
The Holy Demon thought for a long time, and then popped out two words: "Forget." ”
Leng Yuqiu almost got his head down, rolled his eyes, and said, "Then how did you get in in the first place?" ”
"Flew in." The Holy Demon said lightly.
Leng Yuqiu was puzzled: "You have wings?" Besides, isn't it impossible to fly here? ”
The Holy Demon sneered: "Rare and strange, don't you know that after cultivating to the god level, with the assistance of Dou Qi or magic, you can fly?" And it's not that you can't fly here, but those Tron people don't dare to fly because they are afraid of being attacked by demonic beasts in the air, but those demonic beasts are not fart at all in the eyes of my holy demon, I'm afraid of hair! ”
"Really?" Leng Yuqiu said when he saw that the Holy Demon was doing something.
There is only one word "cut" in response to the coldness.
"What is the most powerful boss in the Nine Shadows Swamp?" Leng Yuqiu said curiously.
"Yes...... I don't tell you, it's interesting for you to explore it yourself, hehe. "The Holy Demon sells Guan Zidao.
"Lu, huh? I knew you were bragging, and what you just said was true. Leng Yuqiu said sarcastically.
It was now close to noon, and the royal mercenary group decided to rest and eat on the spot, and then continue to move forward in the afternoon.
The people in the back naturally followed to rest and eat.
Gu Rong observed the landscape in front and behind, there was no road ahead, it was a shallow water area, I don't know what danger there was, the distance was still shrouded in fog and couldn't see clearly, and the rear was the demon frog area that had just escaped death, looking at the people of the other mercenary groups with a tired and scared face, Gu Rong showed a wicked smile.
After lunch, Gu Rong said to everyone in a loud voice: "Mercenary brothers, no matter which mercenary group it is, everyone listen to me a few words, I am Gu Rong, the leader of the royal mercenary group, I think everyone came to the Nine Shadows Swamp for the same purpose as me, that is, treasure hunting!"
The Nine Secluded Swamp has never been truly explored, so there are a lot of treasures hidden in it, and as long as we find it, we will be rich, and when the time comes, luxury cars, bungalows, weapons, equipment, beautiful women, status, ...... We can live the rest of our lives comfortably with whatever we want.
Since we have a common purpose, then we should work together to face difficulties together, right?
Everyone also knows that whether it is starting to enter the swamp or passing through the Devil Frog area just now, our royal mercenary group is in the front, we open the way for everyone, do not complain of hardship, do not call tired, we should set an example, but now most of the brothers of our mercenary group have been injured and can no longer open the way, so please ask the brothers of other mercenary groups to also carry forward the spirit of unity and cooperation, and open the way for everyone! ”
Everyone was in an uproar, although what Gu Rong said was reasonable, but they came here to pick up cheap, and now they want them to open the way in front, how can they be happy.
Immediately someone shouted: "We don't open the road, they want us to die in front, no way!" ”
"Yes!" …… Everyone agreed.
Gu Rong's face turned grim, and he said, "You don't want to die in front, so should we send you to die in front?!" ”
The crowd was speechless.
Gu Rong continued: "If you don't want to, I won't force it, we will continue to advance, but I will make the mech shoot at the rear, and no one will want to follow us again." When we are far away, you want to advance and retreat, listen to and respect, we don't care. ”
Everyone looked bitter, what they said was not unreasonable, people have no obligation to take these oil bottles, if the mercenary group of people's royal power is gone, what should they do? Whether you go forward or backward, you have to re-explore, and behind you is a terrible demon frog, which has just escaped death, and no one wants to risk it again.
And the front may be a treasure, if you miss it, won't you regret it for life?
Gu Rong saw that the fire was almost over, and said: "There may be treasures when you move forward, and if you retreat, you will seek your own death, you can do it." And, I can make a promise that if you get out of the way, I'll let the mechs do it for you, and it's much safer than if you explore it on your own. ”
The crowd had no choice but to agree.
Leng Yuqiu's evaluation of Gu Rong in his heart has risen to a new level, this person is scheming, extremely good at strategy, and is indeed a difficult opponent.
