Volume 1 Treading the Snow Without a Trace Chapter 56 The situation continues
Without paying attention to the others, the three bandit leaders and the three members of the Firefox Mercenary Group collided fiercely, and this kind of evenly matched opponent could not be better for the members of the Firefox Mercenary Group, because only by fighting with an opponent of this level can they break through the shackles again and again and reach new realms.
The bandit leader in the center obviously practiced the fighting spirit of the earth attribute, and the fist wrapped in the earthy yellow light smashed at the oncoming members of the Firefox mercenary group, and felt the strong wind blowing in his face, the mercenary who looked like he was in his thirties had a bright eye, but he didn't stiffen up, and his advancing body twisted at an incredible angle, and turned sideways to give way to this heavy punch that was not fancy. With his right foot on the ground, his body leaned back due to inertia and flipped away, and the sword in his hand stabbed towards the back of the bandit leader's heart.
Seeing this, even the snow on the side couldn't help but applaud secretly, although it was just a flash and a stab, but in the melee combat, the fighting spirit of the bandit leader had already pulled the air around the two of them, and it was extremely difficult to get out of the traction of the whirlpool, and the mercenary not only turned the danger into safety, but also turned defense into attack, this hand is really beautiful. With a punch in the air, the bandit leader secretly screamed in his heart, and at the same time, there was a sharp fighting spirit in the back of his heart. I didn't have time to think about it, my stable figure moved forward, and at the same time, the fighting spirit surged out, enveloping the whole body, and the earthly attribute fighting spirit was already known for its majesty and defense, and I saw the earthy yellow light enveloping the whole body of the bandit leader, like a ball of light.
I only heard the sound of the sound of the fighting, it was the sound of the collision of the sword blessed by the fighting spirit and the earthly attribute guardian fighting energy, the air seemed to be rubbing at high speed, and the harsh sound was extremely loud, but the next moment, the competition of the fighting spirit had already had a result, although the sword was much weaker because of the defense of the fighting energy, but it still pierced the defensive cover of the fighting qi and hit the bandit leader hard.
With a plop, the bandit leader could no longer bear the huge shock from his back, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
And the mercenary had no intention of adjusting at all, and rushed forward with his sword again, the wind attribute fighting spirit has a light and sharp effect, and it is very good to deal with the ground attribute fighting spirit, the opportunity has been lost, and the bandit leader has obviously shown his defeat, but he is just struggling to support, and the situation in the other two places is also obvious, the mercenaries who do tasks all year round are extremely rich in combat experience, and all the members of the Firefox mercenary group have the upper hand, and the results of this encounter speak for themselves.
Solve a few small shrimps that don't have long eyes, Xue Wuxian sighed a little in his heart, he saw the battle at the level of a senior martial artist very clearly, although his fighting spirit was not inferior to anyone except Firefox, but he knew very well that in terms of combat experience, he still had a big gap, sure enough, it was not possible to do it behind closed doors, in school, he thought that his martial arts skills were already very good, but when he came out, he realized how ridiculous his original idea was. There's still a lot to learn.
In about half an hour, this battle ended with the defeat of the three bandit leaders, but in the battle of the same level, it is not difficult to defeat the opponent, but to kill the opponent is another matter, it is impossible not to pay a certain price, therefore, in order to maintain combat strength, the three bandit leaders were only injured and retreated with the remaining bandits. And the mercenaries did not chase after them.
Looking at the bandits who receded like a tide, the middle-aged employer had a worried look on his face, and he didn't seem to relax because of the bandits' retreat, I don't know what he was thinking, but the worry in his eyes flashed, and then there was a smile on his face, and he said loudly: "Thank you, let's continue our journey!" and the leader of the fire fox on the side also had a puzzled expression on his face, but he didn't say anything, nodded to his subordinates, and the caravan began to hit the road again.
Everything returned to calm, Xue Wuxian quietly looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered to the Fa Qi beside him, "Uncle Fa Li, why do I feel that something is wrong?"
With an approving look in his eyes, the law creature spoke, "What's wrong?"
After thinking about it, Xue Wuxian still said the question in his heart, "This gang of bandits is different from ordinary bandits, it seems that the purpose is not the goods we escort, but it seems to be ......"
Speaking of this, Xue Wuxian hesitated a little, but there was still a faint smile on the face of the Fa Li, and he asked, "What is it?"
"It's like they're coming specifically for employers. Xue Wuxian said the question in his heart.
Nodding, Fa Qi explained, "You're right, this gang of bandits should be coming for the employer." You may not know that in the territory of the Barlow Empire, although there are also large and small bandit organizations everywhere, they are generally very small and have no contact with each other, but today's gang of bandits, judging by their performance, is obviously three different groups of organizations, and they did not send a lot of people to loot property, but they were very concerned about their employers, but because of the presence of the Firefox mercenary group, their purpose was not achieved. ”
Xue Wuxian understood a little, and he asked, "You mean that they were deliberately united by someone, and the target was the employer?"
Nodding, the Falun said, "It should be so, but I don't know why the employer is so interested in them, but I think we'll find out soon." ”
"Hmm, why?" asked Xue Wuxian rhetorically.
There was an unfathomable smile on Fa Li's face, and he spoke: "Since they didn't succeed this time, there must be a next time, right? And next time they will definitely send more masters here, after all, the Firefox Mercenary Group is also a B-level mercenary group, not something that ordinary people can handle." ”
"Oh, I see, but, Uncle Falun, what about us?" asked Snow Traceless. "Hehe, we, let's naturally watch a good show, let's talk about it then!" Fa Qi said indifferently, in fact, it is no wonder, even if the other party sends a master to come, but with the strength of the Fa Fa Demon Master realm, it can easily deal with it, so naturally there is no need to worry.
Except for the first encounter with the bandits, the caravan escorted by the Falcous was uneventful, and a week later, they had reached the border of the Barlow Empire, and the next step was to enter the Augustan Empire. The caravan did not stop in the town because of the day's travel, so at dusk they came to the woods not far from the border between the Barlow and Augustan empires. After crossing this forest, it is the border pass of the Barlow Empire, and after passing the border, they will enter the Augustan Empire.
Seeing that it was getting late, the middle-aged employer beckoned everyone to rest here, preparing to leave the customs early tomorrow morning and enter the territory of the Augustan Empire. Hearing the instructions of the employer, the mercenaries who had been doing tasks for many years began to assign their own tasks, and they got busy in twos and threes, and the trip for several days in a row made Dexue Wuxian a little tired, but fortunately, everyone saw that he was still young, and did not ask him to make a fire to cook, but just stayed on the side of the goods, and took it as a rest.
The last glimmer of light gradually disappeared, a little star shining in the night sky, there were bursts of laughter from time to time in the woods, look carefully, it was mercenaries sitting on the side of the bonfire, gossiping with each other, after all, in this wilderness, chatting is not bad, these mercenaries are the main ones who have pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers for many years, they are very bold, although this time it is composed of casual mercenaries, but after a few words, everyone is very familiar, and even Xue Wuxian chatted with them very happily.
"I said, little brother, you are ruthless, you already have the strength of an intermediate martial artist at such a young age, not bad!"
In the last bandit attack, they also saw Xue Wuji's skills, although Xue Wuxian deliberately suppressed the power of the fighting spirit, but they could still see that Xue Wuxian at least had the strength of the peak of a junior martial artist, and it would not be long before he could step into the realm of an intermediate martial artist. And Xue Wuxi's age can be seen at a glance, it is not more than eighteen years old at all, which is simply a genius existence for them.
Embarrassed to smile, Xue Wuxian hurriedly said: "You have won the prize, I have such strength, I need everyone's help when I meet a master!"
"That's nature, we're companions after all, and of course we have to help each other. The mercenary on the side spoke. Although they come from different places, they work together on a task, and they naturally understand the importance of teamwork, and when they encounter danger, they naturally support each other.
"Come here, Traceless!" shouted to Snow Traceless, who was beside another campfire. Although he was a little puzzled, Xue Wuxian hurriedly got up and came to Fa Li's side, glanced at Xue Wuxi, and said, "Let's go pick up some firewood!"
Xue Wuxian naturally understood what Fa Qi meant, and immediately nodded, and when the two of them walked away, Fa Qi spoke: "Wu Xian, I'm afraid there will be trouble tonight, you have to be careful, after all, the purpose of coming out this time is to train you, I can't help you too much." ”
Hearing the Faqi say this, Xue Wuxian was a little surprised, how could it be possible? Do it on the border of the Barlow Empire? This group of people are so bold! But thinking about it again, Xue Wuxian was relieved, after all, it was something they couldn't think of at this time, and the effect of a surprise attack was much better.
