Under the gloomy sky, the buildings were in dilapidation, and the ruins were covered with dense vines and vegetation, as if they were covered with a black-green coat, and many strange plants grew wildly in the streets and alleys, and the branches twisted and stretched out to the sky, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

In the wilderness, there is sometimes a red "rain of blood", which is essentially a mutated microorganism that is blown into the air by the wind and falls down with the rain.

These microorganisms are capable of generating vegetation, so don't be surprised to see vines and plants hundreds of meters long in the county.

And in that black forest, the figures of various unknown creatures, the roars of fierce beasts, and the cries of birds can be seen everywhere.

The reinforced concrete and the primeval forest are integrated into a new spectacle, which is the county seat of No. 306. It sits quietly in the middle of nowhere, like an eerie monster paradise.

Chen Si gasped, if it was him, he really didn't have the confidence to walk in.

In the early days of the fall of the city, countless beasts swarmed from the wilderness from all directions, fighting for territory, feasting on humans for food, and breeding to increase the competitiveness of their race. In the process, the beasts also unconsciously took root, turning the ruins of cities into new ecosystems.

Chen Si finally understood why the Hunter Guild's quest system had the lowest A-level difficulty for the Wasteland Clearing Quest - because in the Fallen City, the density of fierce beasts far exceeded that of the wilderness, and you never knew what monsters were hiding in the depths of those streets.

Moreover, the county seat No. 306 in front of you is only the smallest county, and on it, there are county-level cities, prefecture-level cities, and provincial-level cities......

Those places are the battlefields where real martial arts masters train.

"Into town."

Wu Jianjun said in a deep voice, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and the mercenary team members were also full of confidence, with a relaxed look, obviously it was not the first time to enter the county seat.

……

Crunch! Crunch!

The mercenaries made their way down the street at a slow pace, the road under their feet long gone, covered in vines that made a crisp sound as soon as they stepped on it.

Holding a miniature camera in his hand, Chen Si pointed the lens at the surrounding buildings at the request of the audience, only to see countless strange-shaped plants growing from the cracks in the windows and walls on the roadside, intertwined and criss-crossed, streets, squares, parks, stadiums, and even sewers, every limited living space was invaded by them, and the high-rise buildings became pale embellishments in the dark forest.

Whew!

In the surrounding dark forest, from time to time, a figure flashed away, and a pair of green or blood-red eyes stared at everyone secretly, ready to move.

The arrival of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Team naturally attracted the attention of the fierce beasts, but the deterrent power of the team composed of more than sixty liquid-level martial artists was still quite strong, and occasionally a few fierce beasts that did not have long eyes rushed up, and they were all wiped out in a few seconds.

However, even with the utmost care, casualties and attrition could not be avoided in the end.

"Ahh

Suddenly there was a scream from the right side of the team, and a mercenary warrior stepped on a soft white branch, who would have thought that the branch actually had life, and instantly wrapped the man and dragged him into the darkness.

"Help!"

In the mercenary team, the closest members reacted immediately and chased after them, but in the dark corners, the branches of the roots of the trees rushed out, and those branches were as flexible as whips, fanning the air and blocking several people.

All of this happened in just three seconds.

When Chen Si looked over, he only saw a huge man-eating flower in the dark, and after devouring the mercenary warrior, the petals closed together, and the person was crushed to death by using pressure, oozing a lot of blood.

Seeing this scene, Chen Si's heart sank.

In this dark forest, beware not only of fierce beasts, but also of terrifying plants.

The accident was just the beginning.

As the mercenary team went deeper into the center of the county, there were more and more dangerous sections along the way, and at this time, the "value" of the hired warrior was reflected.

The lives of mercenary members are very precious, and when they are not sure of the danger ahead, they will send temporary workers to explore the way by drawing lots, and whether they can survive depends on their personal luck.

Everyone knows this, and there is nothing to say, you are just willing to trade, otherwise why recruit people.

Before dark, after paying the price of five lives, the mercenary team finally crossed the outskirts of the county and came to the area where the Black Wind Nomads operated.

"Find a place to rest for the night, recharge your energy, and go straight to Huanglong tomorrow."

Wu Jianjun ordered.

Soon, the mercenaries discover an abandoned warehouse that could serve as an ideal place to spend the night. Of course, according to the custom, you must first draw lots and send people to explore the way to see if there are any unknown beasts.

"There are no fierce beasts in this kind of large warehouse, so the ghost believes it."

"Heaven forbid, don't draw me, let me survive tonight."

A group of mercenary warriors gathered in a circle, their lips pale, cold sweat breaking out, and their legs trembling.

"Uh, it's me."

Chen Si looked at the lottery in his hand, but he didn't expect that it was finally his turn. As soon as his words fell, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

Chen Si didn't think about it that much, after drawing lots, he put on his camera helmet and walked straight towards the warehouse.

Boom!

Chen Si's footsteps broke the silence as he resounded in the empty warehouse.

"There is no sign of biological activity."

His gaze swept over the ground, and a thick layer of ash had accumulated on the ground, leaving no traces of footprints or the like, and judging by the thickness of the dust, this warehouse had been sealed for at least ten years.

And at this moment-

Chen Si raised his leg, and suddenly felt a slight resistance, he opened his eyes wide, only to find that it was a spider silk, and looking along this spider silk, he saw a corner of the top of the warehouse, where a huge gossip-shaped spider web hung there.

On that spider web, there were also several white "insect cocoons", Chen Si took a closer look, and it was clear that they were prey tied up layer by layer with spider silk, including fierce beasts and people.

"Not good."

Chen Si was shocked.

But the arrival of his uninvited guest has awakened the owner of this warehouse through spider silk.

Snort!

A huge spider, crawling out of the darkness, hangs upside down in a spider's web. The spider was dark, long, stout, and covered in grayish-yellow bristles with herringbone markings, making it look terrifying.

Black Widow, a C-class beast, a genius predator.

"Chen Si, come out quickly!"

Almost immediately, the voice of the deputy captain Monroe came from the communicator, Black Widow is a very difficult existence among C-class fierce beasts, and even most of the well-trained mercenary team members are not its opponents!

Puff puff!

The Black Widow scurried across the spider web, extremely fast, and the spider silk erupted from its mouth, weaving into a large web several meters wide in the air, enveloping Chen Si and sealing all his retreats.

"It's over!"

Outside the warehouse, the hired warriors all let out a sigh in their hearts, and felt a little sad about the dead rabbit and fox. Monroe's face also changed, Chen Si's previous performance in the interview made her always more optimistic about him, but under the cobwebs of the black widow, Chen Si's body style completely lost its usefulness and was too dead.

However, to everyone's surprise, -

"Snort!"

In Chen Si's hand, a pitch-black spear appeared, about a meter long, and the whole body exuded a deep and primitive aura, at the tip of the spear, dazzling silver light flickered, and the arc condensed into lines, exuding a sharp edge.

Swish!

In the midst of everyone's shocked gaze, the Dark Spear burst through the air at an extremely fast speed, effortlessly tearing through the cobwebs and piercing through the Black Widow's body.

Silk!

Black Widow was in pain, and her eight feet moved quickly across the net, and she disappeared into the darkness in an instant, and fled.

Chen Si was very rational and didn't chase it.

The Dark Spear is his most powerful ranged attack. In the relatively simple and empty terrain of the warehouse, he can injure the Black Widow by surprise, but if he catches up with it on impulse, in a complex environment, he is likely to be killed by the Black Widow using the terrain to fight back.

"It's amazing."

At this time, the members of the mercenary team also entered the warehouse one after another. Many people looked at Chen Si with a gaze, and they were obviously different from before.

The hand he just showed was enough to win everyone's respect.

Ten minutes later, the warehouse was cleared, and the mercenaries were stationed there.

In front of so many people, Chen Si naturally did not take out the Linglong House, but set up a tent.

"Little brother, you're really hidden."

Chen Si was just about to get into the tent to cultivate, a coquettish voice sounded behind him, but it was Monroe who twisted her slender waist and walked over with lotus steps, she stared at Chen Si with burning eyes, as if she wanted to see through his secret.

If an ordinary man is stared at by Monroe's seductive eyes, it is inevitable that he will be distracted, but Chen Si is unmoved.

"Interested in joining the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Team?"

Monroe also seemed to know that Chen Si didn't eat her set, so she didn't show off coquettishly at all, but went straight to the point and sent him an invitation.

"Thanks, not interested."

Chen Si smiled apologetically.

“……”

Monroe's smile froze, she never expected that Chen Si would refuse so simply. But his attitude also made her more convinced that the young man in front of her was definitely from an extraordinary background.

"Rest early, you don't have to participate in the vigil tonight, I'll arrange someone else."

Thinking of this, Monroe smiled at Chen Si and twisted her waist and left.

Nothing was said all night.

……

Early the next morning, the mercenary team continued to march deeper into the county seat.

More than two hours later.

"Everyone take your feet and squat on the spot!"

Wu Jianjun suddenly said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the team immediately stopped advancing, and under Wu Jianjun's order, two relatively thin and flexible mercenary team members touched a building not far away.

Ten minutes later, the two returned without incident.

"Found homeless, about fifty or so." The two brought back a message.

The battle is about to begin.

Everyone's hearts beat faster......
