Chapter 10: Mercenaries
A man and a beast looked out through the dense gaps.
A team of five is besieging a monster and looks like it's been fighting for a long time. Two of them were lying on the ground, and the remaining two swordsmen and one magician were still wrestling with the beasts.
It was a high-level demonic beast, its whole body was covered in earthy yellow armor, and the pitch-black sharp horns on its head were drenched in blood.
Both swordsmen were injured to varying degrees, the big sword in their hands had become dull due to the lack of aura, and the yellow aura armor was almost unsustainable, but they had to persevere, if they fell, a group of people would all die here.
The sorcerer holding his staff aloft was chanting a spell in a low voice, and the two swordsmen were secretly preparing to deliver the fatal blow to buy the mage time.
The high-level demonic beast has a high IQ, and it knows that the swordsman can no longer pose a threat to it, so it roars, and its sharp horns rush wildly in the direction of the magician.
The two swordsmen also roared at the same time, and with all their might, they burst out with golden light again, raising their great swords with haunting aura and slashing towards the demonic beast.
"Armor Breaking!" At this moment, the magician finally finished chanting, and the purple magic crystal on his scepter burst into brilliant light, gathering like lightning and striking at the demonic beast.
The earthy yellow armor of the demonic beast's whole body cracked instantly, and the two giant swords followed, only to hear a terrible roar, the huge body of the demonic beast fell to the ground with a bang, and the head was cut off alive, and the neighing stopped abruptly.
The evenly matched situation turned around in a blink of an eye, and the moment the demonic beast fell, the huge body shook the ground. Zhang Xiaojuan's heart was beating like a drum, when she saw the monster rushing over, she was so frightened that her heart and liver were about to jump out of her throat, seeing the monster screaming in pain and falling to the ground and dying, although she was a little unbearable, but she became more and more deeply aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the survival of the fittest. Moreover, this battle between humans and Warcraft made her clearly realize that it was not difficult for humans to defeat powerful Warcraft by cultivating themselves and fighting together. For the first time, Zhang Xiaojuan had the idea of cultivating magic in her heart, not seeking invincibility but self-preservation, not becoming a drag, she glanced at the little hairball beside her, and could even protect it.
The little furball seemed to feel something, and his gray eyes glanced at her, showing doubt.
"Haha, Deputy Leader, we're lucky, the sixth-level earth magic crystal is worth a little money!" A swordsman dug out a yellow crystal from the head of the demonic beast.
Zhang Xiaojuan saw that even if the viscous blood was stained on the magic crystal, it couldn't hide its scorching earthy yellow light.
The deputy head of the regiment was administering medicine to the two injured teammates, and the magician sat on the sidelines to breathe.
The deputy head complained: "Unlucky! In a few days, we will be at the edge of the forbidden land." He was also injured, and after bandaging his teammates, he began to give himself medicine, "Sauron and Belle are seriously injured, and our medicine is not enough, I think it is better to return to Tanmeng City first, and wait for the regiment leader to make arrangements when they arrive." ”
"Isn't the good things in the forbidden land preempted by others?" the swordsman with the magic crystal shouted anxiously, and then burst into a few foul words.
"I heard that none of the ten teams that went in came back. The magician on the side spoke.
"That was more than half a month ago, and I heard that even the Destruction Forbidden Spell was sacrificed, and the Kuntaras Demonic Beast would definitely die!"
The magician and the deputy head of the regiment were silent, and the swordsman with the magic crystal became excited, and instigated: "Now there are more and more mercenary groups that are moving when they hear the wind, and those people's hearts are dark!
The magician was still a little hesitant, "But no one knows what happened inside now. ”
"Don't forget, Kuntaras is a spirit-sucking demonic beast, and the Kuntaras wasteland is also known as the spirit-sucking forbidden land, let's still weigh our own catties, although the treasure is tempting, it depends on whether there is a life to take it!"
Previously, because there was a sixth-order demonic beast living here, demonic beasts lower than it avoided its sphere of influence. After the pedestrian left, the place quickly returned to tranquility. The little hairball was motionless, Zhang Xiaojuan squatted for too long and her legs were a little numb, she wanted to stretch her legs a little, but when she saw that the little hairball's ears were erect and straight, she looked vigilant, and she didn't dare to move again.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xiaojuan heard a sound of Suosuo, and followed the sound only to see a dead tree entwined with large-leaved vines not far away, and a tall figure came out of the hole in the vine bush.
The man was in rags, as if he had been injured and walked a little staggeringly, but his movements were still very cautious, and he aimed at the objects dropped by the team.
As he slowly approached, Zhang Xiaojuan, who saw his face clearly, exclaimed, "Big roll?"
The man immediately drew his sword, "Who?
"Big volume... Big roll..."Zhang Xiaojuan muttered in a low voice as if he had lost his soul.
The little furball swooped out and roared at each other.
Zhang Xiaojuan came back to his senses, excitedly parted the tall grass and rushed out, his numb legs couldn't exert his strength, and he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Whew, little furball jumped over and licked her face.
The strange man's tense nerves relaxed at the sight of a child and a Tester creature as he thrust his greatsword into the ground, using it as a crutch to support his crumbling body.
The little furball roared, revealing Bai Sensen's sharp teeth, and the sharp claws of the beast shone with cold light.
"Grey-eyed Tester, it's rare!" the strange man touched his chin as if to gauge the value of the little furball. Look at the child who fell on the ground, the ill-fitting robe, the strange shoes that didn't fit, the messy curly hair, and the appearance of a curly-haired little barking beast lying on the ground. But when the fallen child raised his head, a trace of surprise and confusion quickly flashed in the eyes of the strange man, strange that this child actually gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
