Chapter Seventy-Nine: Someone Ran Away?
Facts have proved that Hao Shen's exclamation is right - the mercenaries are reliable, and the sows can go up the tree.
The meeting of these mercenaries lasted from day to night, from the verbal arguments of you and me, to the strength contest of wrestling wrists, anyway, the movement was getting bigger and bigger, and the fun was getting more and more high. Eventually, more people joined in, and in a short time there was a huge bonfire, and in the smell of wine and meat, there was crackling hand-to-hand combat and laughter, and from time to time there were a few philosophical gasps - there was no definite result anyway, and it was better to have a carnival feeling.
Are these mercenaries really here to hunt for treasure? It's just a time to go on a trip! Looking at their appearance, who would have thought that they had been killed by thousands of people from the Chaos Sect before?
"Mercenaries are like this, death is fate, and life is luck, so when you go out on a mission, you should seize all the time to make trouble, because maybe you won't have a chance to make trouble the next day......" Elsa looked at the noisy mercenaries and said lightly.
"It's obviously cruel, but with this scene, I always feel like I can't cry or laugh." The corners of Hao Shen's mouth twitched, what he said was true, but when he saw the appearance of the mercenaries, he couldn't help but sigh.
There was also this normal change of sun and moon in this valley, and the temperature at night was lower than during the day, and the mercenaries did not stop until the second half of the night, and went back to their homes to rest.
Hao Shen and the others also rested separately, but because of the commotion of the mercenaries, they didn't fall asleep normally until the second half of the night.
The next day, Hao Shen was woken up by the chaos outside.
At that time, it was just dark, and the mercenaries didn't know what was going on, so they exploded all at once, running around and shouting loudly. Hao Shen rubbed his eyes, and a hint of gloom appeared on his face: These mercenaries, even if they don't sleep in the middle of the night, they still come back in the morning? You don't have to play like that.
But soon, Hao Shen realized that something really happened!
A few young mercenaries walked into the camp of Hao Shen and the others, and when they came up, they were ordered to check. Hao Shen and Si Li hurriedly stopped them: there are three girls in the team, if they are really allowed to go in to check, then Hao Shen really doesn't have to mess around.
"It's okay not to go in, by the way, we're not here to search anything, we're just here to check your numbers...... Are all of you here? The young mercenaries were not angry, but explained kindly.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Under the chaos outside, everyone woke up, and at this time the three girls were still dressed, and walked out one after another.
Seeing this, the mercenary said goodbye, turned around and left.
Hao Shen didn't understand the situation at all, and hurriedly grabbed him, "Hey, what is the situation when I say?" What are you trying to do? ”
The young mercenary turned his head and glanced at Hao Shen, perhaps because he had received instructions from the leader in advance, and did not hide it, "The stone gate was broken, and someone sneaked in." The head of the group is furious, and they are organizing people to follow up, and he asked us to determine the camps of all the mercenary groups to determine which mercenary group did it, and the mercenary union will no longer have their name in the future. Okay, that's the basic situation, we still have a mission, you please!"
With that, the young mercenary trotted away.
Hao Shen and the others looked at each other, and then ran out one after another.
In the small valley, it was already in a state of semi-chaos at the moment, people were running everywhere, and many large mercenary groups were gathering. The huge stone gate was already full of people.
But what is even more striking is the stone door.
At this moment, the stone door was completely no longer what it was yesterday, it had been cut through a large hole, and it was now blowing out of the wind.
The reason why it was cut open rather than broken was because most of the stone door was intact, about seventy percent of the parts were no different from the intact state, tightly closed and showed no signs of moving. But the rest of the building was completely gone, leaving behind a large, irregular jagged edge and a slag of stone on the ground......
Seeing this scene, Hao Shen and the others were a little shocked: what kind of person could open a big hole in this solid stone gate without alarming nearly 10,000 mercenaries in a valley?
If there is such a person, then how awesome does he have to be?
Anyway, it must be much more powerful than the level of Gonggong, because to do this kind of thing, even Hao Shen can't think of too many ways - in this matter, cutting the door is not the key, the key is how to do it without alarming anyone while being surrounded by nearly 10,000 mercenaries.
The leaders of those mercenary regiments obviously also thought of this, and they gathered in front of the gate again at this moment, looking at the big hole in a daze, and a circle of masters who were in the mercenary world were hesitant.
They wanted to rush in, but they didn't dare—look at the mirror-smooth incisions in Shimen Mountain, and no one could say if they would be given that after entering. But give up? That's obviously impossible, the lost soldiers have gone so far, how can they give up when they finally get here. The regimental commanders were distressed.
Hao Shen's arrival saved them at once, and when they saw Hao Shen and several people squeezing through the crowd and walking in, they all came around and said to Elsa in a few words, and a thousand words mean one thing: When will the Great Magister arrive?
Elsa looked speechless, these mercenaries are really avoiding evil and profit, and they still want to let the archmages give them thunder.
While Elsa was being watched, Hao Shen and Zhao Ran came to the breach of the gate and observed carefully.
The thickness of this stone gate is about one meter, the height of the breach is two meters, and the width is about the same. On the edge of the one-meter-thick incision were countless angular and irregular facets—apparently, the person who dug up the stone door had cut it out with some kind of sharp weapon that was as stone-like as tofu.
Zhao Ran touched those facets and ridges with his hand, and couldn't help but exclaim. "Oh my God, it's more obvious than the ridges of the stone cut with a chainsaw, what the hell is causing this? Dragon Slayer Knife Leaning on the Sky Sword? This kind of facet is similar to a diamond crystal, right? ”
“…… It's some kind of high-energy thermal weapon! Hao Shen picked up a broken stone from the ground, this broken stone seemed to have been cut off and fell to the ground and broken, the fracture revealed the stone inside, the natural color of the stone is yellow granite, but there is an obvious layer of blue-gray at the facet, which is more textured to the touch. With a slight pinch, the hardness of those blue-gray parts is also much higher, "obvious traces of high temperature, and the energy level is quite high!" ”
Zhao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face changed, "You mean...... Laser weapons? Don't be kidding, how can there be laser weapons in this world? ”
"Not necessarily, who knows if those mages have skills similar to scorching light? No one can say for sure. I'll ask Elsa later. Hao Shen rolled his eyes, isn't the laser also a high-energy light? This is a magical world, is it unusual for a magician to shoot high-energy rays?
Zhao Ran, who was choked by Hao Shen's words, was stunned for a moment, and then she shrugged her shoulders speechlessly: She was overreacting, the name of high-energy thermal weapon is a scientific and technological thing when she heard it, and she couldn't help but be a little excited when she heard this word, and after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really what Hao Shen said.
After Hao Shen finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to study those facets, but suddenly he was stunned, and then turned his head sharply and looked at Zhao Ran again, and his whole face changed instantly!
"Huh? What's wrong, what's wrong? Zhao Ran was taken aback, and hurriedly looked himself up and down.
"! No way! Hao Shen stomped his foot suddenly, raised his leg and got into the stone door, and three seconds later he got out again and pulled Zhao Ran, "Go!" Let's go! I think I might have found something! ”
