() Subsequently, Jian Chen also temporarily walked with this team of mercenaries, and after some small talk, the relationship between Jian Chen and this group of mercenaries also became a lot closer unconsciously, and at the same time, Jian Chen also had some understanding of this team of mercenaries.

This mercenary group is a small mercenary group called Yiqi, with a total number of more than eighty people in the group, among which in addition to the head of the regiment with the strength of a high-level saint master, there are also five masters of the saint master class, as for the rest, they are all some great saints and saints.

Since it was late at night, Jian Chen and the people of the Righteous Qi Mercenary Group chatted for a while before they went to rest, and Jian Chen also took out a tent from his spatial belt and set it up, and then took out two demon cores and entered the state of cultivation.

The energy in the demon core was absorbed by the sword dust at a very terrifying speed, but unlike before, as soon as these energies entered the body of the sword dust, they ran towards the purple and green sword spirit in the sword dust dantian, and they were not absorbed by the sword dust at all.

The current Ziqing Sword Spirit is very weak, and its strength is not even one ten-thousandth of what it was in its heyday, so now Jian Chen is not in a hurry to improve his strength for the time being, but pours all the energy in the demon core into the Ziqing Sword Spirit, so as to accelerate the recovery of the Ziqing Sword Spirit, because now he can borrow part of the power of the Ziqing Sword Spirit, and as the power of the Ziqing Sword Spirit increases, the power he can use will also be even stronger.

Moreover, now that Jian Chen's strength has just broken through to the Great Sage Master, he doesn't dare to continue to improve his strength like before again, although the berserk factor in the demon core energy will be absorbed by the Ziqing Sword Spirit, but the strength has increased too quickly, which will only lead to an unstable foundation and will have a great impact on the future.

The speed at which the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbed the energy in the Demon Core was very fast, much faster than the consumption of Sword Dust when he cultivated in the past, and a fourth-order Demon Core was absorbed by the Ziqing Sword Spirit in just one hour.

Jian Chen took a deep breath, and now, he was taken aback by the speed at which the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbed the energy of the demon core, and he didn't know if it was because the Ziqing Sword Spirit had become stronger than before, or if the speed at which it absorbed the energy of the demon core had been deliberately suppressed before, in short, now the Ziqing Sword Spirit absorbed the energy in the demon core much faster. A fourth-order demon core was consumed in just one hour, and such a terrifying consumption rate shocked Jian Chen's mind again.

After all, the fourth-order magic core is not a third-order magic core, if a third-order demon core is consumed in an hour, the sword dust can barely withstand it, but if a fourth-order demon core is consumed in an hour, then the sword dust will feel a little unbearable. Although it was easy for him to hunt fourth-order demonic beasts with his current strength, the number of fourth-order demonic beasts was not as large as that of third-order demonic beasts and second-order demonic beasts.

"Alas...... One fourth-order demon core is consumed in one hour, and twelve hours a day, twelve fourth-order demon cores are consumed, how can this be consumed. Jian Chen sighed secretly, and his brows, which had not been stretched for long, furrowed again. Let's soak in *books*

At night, it was very quiet, and in the quiet camp, there was a snoring sound from time to time

……

In the early morning, when the sun on the horizon had just revealed its red face from the first line of heaven and earth, the sound of conversation came from outside the tent of the righteous mercenary group, accompanied by the "crackling" sound of the wood fire.

Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent, slowly opened his eyes, and then walked out of the tent, his eyes casually scanning for a week.

I saw that there were already more than 40 people in the activity, lighting fires, collecting tents, and some people were holding fodder to feed their mounts, looking busy.

In some tents, there are still strong men crawling out of them, all of them with sleepy eyes and yawning constantly, obviously not sleeping well.

Jian Chen shook his head slightly, then turned around and began to pack up his tent.

"Hey, Jianchen, did you sleep well last night?" At this moment, a slightly deep voice came from not far away. Hearing the sound, Jian Chen looked back and saw a burly man with a strong upper body walking towards him.

This person Jianchen recognized that it was the leader of the Righteous Qi Mercenary Group, Hedoff.

"Well, it's okay!" Jian Chen replied with a smile, last night, he didn't sleep at all. To be precise, Jian Chen's sleep has been very rare since he was a child, and since he became a saint, he has slept even less, spending almost every night in cultivation.

Sleep, is nothing more than the excessive loss of God during the day, need to sleep to recover, once people enter a deep sleep, the head is blank, into the ethereal realm, in this state, do not feel the passage of time at all, and ordinary people are used in such the most basic way to restore the God consumed during the day. The difference between martial artists is that when they enter the cultivation state, their spirit will also enter the ethereal realm, in this state, his god can not only be restored in the same way, but its recovery speed is much faster than sleeping.

Sleeping, in fact, is a way to restore God, and some people who are strong enough to sleep for days and nights are an extremely normal thing.

After breakfast, everyone from the Righteous Mercenary Regiment also began to hurry, and Jian Chen, since he had no mount, sat on a carriage full of goods, and hurried all the way in the direction of Wacker City.

In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen followed the team of the righteous mercenary group to rush for a day, during which Jian Chen also chatted with some mercenaries from time to time, and the relationship seemed to be deeper unconsciously.

At this moment, Jian Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the carriage full of goods, closed his eyes and recuperated suddenly moved, and then his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes stared at the front a little sharply, and shouted: "Everyone be careful, there is movement ahead, this should be a demonic beast rushing in our direction." ”

Hearing Jian Chen's loud shout, the team suddenly stopped, staring at the front with fierce eyes, but after looking at it for a while, the front was calm and there was no abnormality.

"Jian Chen, you're too sensitive, everything is normal here, what's going on." A mercenary turned his head to look at Jian Chen, and said with some complaint.

"Yes, Jianchen, you can't say anything like this casually, in the future, before you figure things out, you should make fewer jokes like this." This time it was Hedoff, the leader of the Righteous Mercenary Regiment, who spoke, and his tone was a little reproachful.

However, just as Hedorf had finished speaking, suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Commander, there is really movement, you pay attention to the ground." A mercenary standing on the ground was the first to notice the movement on the ground, and immediately said to Captain Hedoff.

"The ground is shaking ......"

"Is there a cavalry contingent passing through here......"

"We're not going to run into a horde of monsters......

……

With this person's words, the rest of the righteous mercenary group also discovered the movement on the ground, and their faces became a little solemn, and they all said guessingly.

"Be on alert, be on alert, be ready for battle." Commander Hedov did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted loudly.

The mercenaries of the Righteous Qi Mercenary Regiment immediately took action, and dozens of people sacrificed their holy soldiers at the same time, lined up in a formation and stared at the front with solemn faces, as if facing a great enemy.

The ground was shaking more and more obviously, and it was getting more and more violent, but I still couldn't see what was moving in front of me. Let's soak in *books*

Everyone in the righteous mercenary group became nervous one by one, staring at the front with extremely solemn faces, such a strong movement could be heard from such a distance, such a scene is rare, at this moment, they have realized in their hearts that if the front is really a demonic beast as Jianchen said, then this must be a very powerful demonic beast.

"Everyone be careful, if you can't be defeated, then everyone should scatter and flee." Hedorf said in a somewhat heavy tone.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe with a weak face walked up from behind, came behind Hedoff, and asked with some concern: "Captain Hedov, what happened, I just heard that a demonic beast is coming in our direction, is this not true?" ”

"Mr. Harry, you should step back first, the situation is not yet clear, but judging from the movement coming from the front, if it is not a large cavalry team, it is very likely that it is a huge demonic beast, and there is more than one." Although Hedoff's tone was flat, the solemnity mixed in it could be heard by anyone.

"Can these goods be saved?" The weak middle-aged man asked again.

"It's hard!" Hedorf shook his head slightly, and said: "Mr. Harry, you should be ready to flee for your life, if it is just a large group of people on the way, it is okay to say, but once it is a monster...... Mr. Harry, you are clear about the consequences. ”

"Alas......" Hearing Hedoff's words, the weak middle-aged man sighed heavily, these goods are all his, and the righteous mercenary group is also hired by him to escort this batch of goods to Wacker City, once this batch of goods cannot be saved, the loss caused to him is almost irreparable, because the funds for this batch of goods are almost all the savings he has accumulated in business over the years.

Jian Chen sat cross-legged on the carriage full of goods, his eyes were also staring ahead with no essence, but compared to everyone, he was much calmer, his expression was calm, and his eyes did not show the slightest panic.

At this time, a small gray dot finally appeared in the eyes of everyone, this small gray dot is not fast, but every time it steps on the ground, it can cause the entire surrounding ground to tremble slightly, and this tremor has spread to a distance of several miles.

And at this time, everyone finally saw clearly the culprit who caused the entire ground to tremble slightly, it was really a demonic beast.

The faces of a group of mercenaries couldn't help but become a little pale, if this is artificial, then it's okay to say, at most, let them give way, or give some money to bribe, but once they meet the monster, then there is no extra choice except for fighting and escaping.

In front of it was a humanoid monster, which looked like a gorilla, it was about ten meters tall, and its hair was brown. Bubble - book _ bar

"That's... It turned out to be a war behemoth......."

Looking at the humanoid demonic beast in front of him, Hedoff's face suddenly became very exciting, and the solemnity between his eyebrows was also much looser.

Defeating the Behemoths, as the name suggests, is as if they were made for war, and they are not only terrifyingly strong in their physical defenses, but also extremely powerful, and can directly overturn the city walls. And this kind of monster is also known as the son of the earth, the darling of the mother earth, is a natural master of the earth, one foot out, according to the different strength, can cause an earthquake within a radius of several kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers, if a powerful war beast, or several war beasts at the same time, the earthquake caused by it can collapse the wall of a first-class city ten kilometers away.

That being said, the War Behemoth's single attack is pitifully weak, and their speed is their weakness.

Although the number of war behemoths on the Tian Yuan Continent is not large, it is not a rare category, and almost every powerful country has some war behemoths enslaved under its command.

"Regiment commander, that's a war beast, the defense is very strong, the attack is very weak, and the speed is also very slow, what should we do, do we have to fight and drive it away." A mercenary of the Righteous Qi Mercenary Group spoke.

"No wonder it can cause such a big movement, it turns out to be a war beast, since it is a war beast, it will be much easier." A sneer appeared on Hedoff's face, and he said, "Brothers, the war beast is not much of a threat to us, let's go and drive it away." ”

"Okay!"

Immediately, a group of mercenaries jumped from their seats, and their followers, Hedoff, rushed towards the war beast.

Jian Chen sat on the carriage full of goods and looked at the war beast that was only five hundred miles away from the convoy, and quickly read some information about the war beast in his mind.

"War Behemoths measure their strength according to the size of their bodies, it is said that the strength of the sixth-order war behemoths is a hundred meters tall, and the fifth-order war behemoths are also around fifty meters tall, and the third-order war behemoths are all within ten meters in height, so it is speculated that the war behemoth in front of him is more than ten meters high, because it should be a fourth-order demonic beast." Jian Chen muttered to himself.

"The defense of the war beasts is very strong, even the magic crystal cannon can't cause the slightest damage to them, and as their strength increases, their defense will become very terrifying, it is difficult to kill them, it is said that even in ancient times, the dragon clan standing at the peak of the warcraft world could not be compared with the war beast in defense, I don't know if I can break through the defense of the war beast in front of me now."

"Roar!" Looking at the people of the righteous mercenary group that were like ants rushing towards him, the war beast raised its head to the sky and let out a roar, and then stepped heavily on the ground.

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, the earth within a radius of several miles began to shake violently, and the cracks that were the width of a palm spread rapidly like spider webs in all directions, and soon covered the entire land within a radius of several miles.

The violently shaking earth drove more than a dozen carriages full of goods to swing violently, and the force of the swing was so great that Jian Chen, who was sitting on it, couldn't control his body a little, and then turned over and jumped to the ground.

"Crunch Crunch ....."

The carriage continued to groan in pain, and some of the goods piled on it tumbled to the ground, and soon a dozen wagons fell apart.

Such an earthquake did not have much impact on the people of the Righteous Qi Mercenary Group at all, and dozens of people soon came to the feet of the war giant beast, and dozens of holy soldiers with strong holy power slashed at the body of the war giant beast.

However, it did not bring the slightest damage to the war beast, and not even a single hair on the war beast's body was cut off.

"Roar!" The war beast let out an angry roar, and a large foot lifted again, then slammed into the head of one of the mercenaries at its feet.

The mercenary rolled on a lazy donkey, dodging the kick on the top of his head like the war beast, and when the war beast's seemingly infinitely powerful kick stomped heavily on the ground, the entire earth within a radius of several miles began to shake violently again, but what was incredible was that the ground that the war beast stepped on did not show any signs of depression.
