To Su Mu's expectations, Han Jun, who accepted even if he lost his right to speak, suddenly erupted in fierce opposition when everyone proposed to return to business again:

"The horror of the wolf group far exceeds that of this group of demons in front of them. ”

However, in response to Han Jun's rebuttal, the rest of the mercenaries ignored Han Jun's struggle with an extraordinarily indifferent look.

After Su Mu was slightly stunned, he immediately understood:

The goal of the delusional demon is to convert the mercenaries themselves into food, so it can be said that there is no room for maneuver.

On the contrary, the purpose of the wolf group is only to loot the escorted goods, and if there is really something discordant, they can give up the mission and save their lives.

There is no doubt that even if they are punished by the Wanderers' Union, the mercenaries will still prioritize their own survival in extreme situations.

And since that's the case, there's really nothing to hesitate about.

The mercenaries took one last look at the creeping worms that had once again disappeared into the dirt, and then continued their journey without looking back, and began to move closer in the direction of the trade road.

......

And at this moment, it was also on the business road that Su Mu and his party were about to return.

The woman who had fought with Su Mu was frowning and said to her companion:

"Judging from where they disappeared, they could only have entered a wasteland full of delirious beasts, but how bad are those mercenaries to avoid us at such a risk?"

Obviously, the woman also didn't understand why Su Mu and his party were willing to take the threat of the beast and insist on leaving the few business routes with the least risk.

However, although the woman didn't understand, a companion shrouded in black robes in front of the woman seemed to have guessed a little bit of the possibility:

"Unless someone in that group knows where we came from, and knows what they're escorting. He even deliberately exaggerates our threat, so the mercenaries think that going into the wilderness is a good idea. ”

While this person was talking about this speculation, he changed his words and continued:

"But don't worry, the man who advocated entering the saline wilderness didn't know anything about the delirium beast at all, and he didn't even know that the worm was going to breed this season. At this time, they who have entered the saline plains and possessed the Qi of heaven and earth will be attacked by worms who are desperate for food, and they will soon return to the way of trade. ”

As the black-robed man gently tore off the veil of truth, the woman who had just asked the question suddenly thought of something, and asked in disbelief:

"So, in fact, the real owner of the target cargo is not the old man from Cold Stone Town at all, he himself is hiding among the mercenaries guarding him. ”

When the black-robed man heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and added:

"Not only is the old man a puppet, but even his deliberate exposure of his whereabouts to the shoddy bandits is also a ruse that he has arranged long ago, in order to prove that our threat is great. ”

"To be able to think of such a complicated set of plans in just a dozen days of stealing the 'inheritance', he is really good enough as a traitor to the family. ”

......

The saline-alkali wilderness under the scorching sun is so barren and ugly, and so frank and straightforward.

It put all the threats in front of the mercenaries clearly, and even used the most blazing sunlight to shine on the gentleness of this crisis.

"It's important to return to business before dark, because if we lose the advantage of seeing in the sun, our situation will become more difficult. ”

The twin brothers urged everyone again, and spoke out about the fear in everyone's hearts.

At this time, the mercenaries, even after that short rest, had not yet recovered to a state full of energy. But under the pressure of survival, everyone was riveted and quickly followed the Qi power carriage.

And at this moment, if you want to say that the most desperate person in the procession is obviously the coachman who drives the carriage.

Although for all mercenaries, returning to the business is the safest option. But for the motorists on the employer's side, they will inevitably face the threat of looters.

However, the mercenaries obviously didn't care about this.

After all, on the scales in everyone's hearts, their own lives are not equal to the lives of others, and if the driver dares not to obey everyone's choice, the mercenaries will really abandon him in the wilderness.

The ugliness of human nature has long been exposed to the face of every mercenary at this time.

And to survive in such a despicable human nature, the only way to make one's own strength stronger.

......

Su Mu silently felt the situation in his body, and then reluctantly put away the operation of the switchback step.

After a day and two nights of repeated tempering, coupled with the constant battles on the way. At this time, the Qi energy in Su Mu's body had already crossed the upper limit of the third order of the small character, and had roughly reached the appearance of the middle stage of the fourth order.

Therefore, as a turnaround step of the third-order fighting technique, it can no longer bring benefits to Su Mu at this moment, and Su Mu can only give up this method of gathering Qi.

However, because of Su Mu, he successfully entered the realm of the fourth order of small characters.

Some of the problems that plagued Su Mu before, but now because of the availability of more samples, they are finally clearly presented in front of Su Mu's eyes.

Su Mu had been puzzled before, why he consumed Qi energy to practice fighting skills, but he rarely encountered the embarrassment of Qi energy exhaustion, which seemed completely illogical.

And before that, Su Mu only had four-color sword skills, and there were no other fighting skills to compare, so Su Mu had never been able to get a glimpse of the mystery.

At this time, with Su Mu, the use of the Turnaround Step and the Double Nine Enhancement Technique became more and more proficient, and Su Mu finally felt in the subtle flow of Qi energy:

Although the act of using fighting skills is indeed constantly consuming the Qi energy in the body.

But the result of this behavior is to open up the space that accommodates Qi a little bit.

As for the recovery of Qi energy, it is completely according to the upper limit of its own capacity, slowly gathering in an absolutely identical proportion.

In other words, when a warrior opens up the corresponding realm, the rules of this world themselves regard this person as a part of the composition of the world.

Therefore, the warrior himself does not need to deliberately do anything at all, and the rules of all things in the world themselves will take the initiative to restore the consumed Qi energy for him.

The reason why Su Mu was able to continue to temper his fighting skills before was that he had never completely exhausted his Qi.

That's all because of the fighting techniques used by Su Mu, all of which are higher than the current realm.

As a result, Su Mu's consumption with the current Qi energy was completely unable to catch up with the higher-level recovery that he had opened up at the same time, so he created his thousand-mile progression every day.
