Chapter Seventy-Five: Five Heroes, Four Heroes
What happened in the casino spread through the mouths of the people not long after Nameless and the others left.
Because no one in the casino knew that this was a battle of several levels of masters, people said that it was more about the fact that they bought a mercenary group to last for a year.
Although there are many fools in the world, there are also many smart people. Soon, many people speculated that this team was the mysterious mercenary group that destroyed the Shuibo Liangshan bandits.
For a while, people were surprised by the flamboyance of this mercenary group, and many people were gloating and waiting for the Liangshan people to come down and destroy this arrogant team.
Liang Shan quickly made a new wanted notice for such a team, and the reward for killing this mercenary group was 6,000 gold coins, and the original bounty for those who found the tracers remained unchanged.
Such a change surprised everyone, and Liang Shan's change was clearly to tell the people of the world that they agreed to any force sniping the mysterious mercenary group.
Everyone couldn't understand what Liang Shan was thinking for a while, but many emerging forces still showed a strong interest in Nameless.
"One hundred thirty-seven, one hundred thirty-eight, one hundred thirty-nine...... Is the world so bad now? Zhang Feng looked at Nameless helplessly and asked, "It's not time for dinner yet, today is already the fourth batch, right?" β
Nameless nodded helplessly, no matter how they changed their route in the past few days, even if they crossed the mountains and walked the section of the road that no one had walked like today, there would still be a team in front of them.
The allure of six thousand gold coins is great, and the allure of fame is even stronger. Many fledgling young people have also joined the hunt.
With the passage of time, there were even young masters of the first order in these hunting teams. In order to defeat this team that mysteriously appeared, many people have gone crazy.
When people were confused, Nameless and some people understood it first. It's not that Liang Shan doesn't want to do it himself, it's just that the treasures of Tianchi City are thought by many people in the outside world this time, and they will definitely be unearthed this time.
Along the way, Nameless has also seen many groups and heard a lot about other groups discussing going on treasure hunts.
A large group like Liang Shan will definitely participate in this treasure hunt, and if you are distracted from dealing with the mercenary group, you must draw out some of your strength anyway, so it is better to use this incident to attract other groups to attack the mercenary group and reduce a few competitors from the side. Even if these subtracted competitors don't have much strength, it's still better to subtract.
Treasures are sometimes very strange, and no one dares to guarantee that the strongest people can get them. It is precisely because there are often very weak people who get treasures when they hunt for treasures, so they will attract more people to join the treasure hunting, otherwise they will simply rank up their strength, and whoever is the strongest will pick up the treasure.
In particular, the treasure unearthed this time is so peculiar, people have learned from the images of the earlier decades that the treasure unearthed this time is a huge iron-skinned humanoid monster.
Hercules didn't pay attention to the bandit on the other side, he paid more attention to Xiao Tianci these days.
Since coming out of the casino that day, Xiao Tianci has always followed the team without saying a word.
For Xiao Tianci, Hercules looks down on him more. This young man who was targeted by him, according to his calculations, should have been stronger than that, and the chance of a draw with Xiao Tianci was less than fifty percent.
However, Xiao Tianci's strength made him both excited and disappointed, excited because he was 100% sure of drawing with Xiao Tianci, and no one could calculate the outcome of the two sides if he continued to fight.
The disappointment was because Xiao Tianci's performance did not meet his calculations at the time. This young man with good talent and was praised by the Super Beast Venerable as having potential, it was only after four years that he was in such a situation.
Too good talent can sometimes be an obstacle to a person's higher grades. What the Ultra Beast Venerable said when he saw Hercules a long time ago, and at this moment Hercules finally understood what the Ultra Beast Venerable meant.
Xiao Tianci undoubtedly has a better talent than him, but the progress of this young man in four years is not directly proportional to his talent.
I was able to beat him! Just give me some more time and I'll be 100% sure of defeating him! Hercules looked at Xiao Tianci with disdain and an arrogant face, his talent made him lose himself and couldn't see the road ahead.
"Boss, is that guy really here to rob us?" Zhang Feng pointed to a member of the crowd.
Nameless couldn't help frowning when he saw it, in this group of fierce and vicious teams, there was actually a man with a melancholy face.
Judging by his clothing and position, this man should be the leader of this team, but he barely felt any power from his namelessness.
"Boss! Give the order to attack! That's 6,000 gold coins! Beside the melancholy man, a man with a face full of flesh roared loudly, which immediately caused many people to roar excitedly.
The melancholy man's brows were slightly twisted together, and he said lightly: "I still hope that this operation will be canceled." β
"Cancellation? Boss, don't be kidding. β
"That's right! Although you are the boss, you can't prevent your brothers from getting rich, right? β
"These mercenaries have been attacked in a row, and they must have been exhausted. Now is definitely the best opportunity. β
Several bandit men standing next to the melancholy man roared one after another, and whenever they roared, there were always some people behind them who would respond to the former's shout.
The melancholy man looked at the other big men with dissatisfaction and said coldly, "Do you really regard me as the owner of the village?" Now it's too late to get it back. I don't want the cottage I've worked so hard to build to be ruined in your hands. β
"You've worked hard?" Several big men on the side laughed wildly at the same time, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"You're just moving your mouth, when didn't our brothers fight with their lives?"
"That's right! Before you go up the mountain, our cottage is already a little large. β
The bandits standing behind them burst out in unison again, they were no longer used to seeing this man who only spoke but didn't use his hands to become a big boss.
The melancholy man sighed softly, his eyes were full of unwillingness to look at the few people beside him, he had no strength and would never be able to truly convince the public. These thieves should choose themselves as the owners of the cottage, just to find a balance between them.
"Is that him?" With a three-point uncertainty on his face, a seven-point smile said to the general next to him, "I will arrest the man in the red armor." Remember, I'm going to live. β
Nameless was surprised for a while, the descendants of the founding heroes of the Shenlong Kingdom actually knew the bandits?
"Brethren! Six thousand gold coins! Everyone, rush! The man with a meaty face roared excitedly, and the other bandits also waved their steel knives and rushed up.
Zhang Feng turned his head to look at Da Niu and said, "Did you find anything?" β
"There are a few traps on the left, a lot of rolling logs on the hill on the right, and there are four mages in their team who are trying to set fires."
"Huh? These bandits are a bit eccentric. Zhang Feng said with a smile: "The way they advance, you can vaguely see the small combination of the Divine Dragon Army in groups of three and three. Could it be that they are the defeated Divine Dragon Army? β
Liu Qiang patted the war horse under his crotch, pulled out his lightsaber and said, "No matter what weird ...... him"
Before he finished speaking, the Domotogi family, who was standing not far from him, rushed out first.
The soldiers looked at each other and smiled: "These guys are diligent today." β
"Boss, help."
Nameless took off his strong bow and put on the most ordinary long arrow, and the arrows in his hand shot out like cannons, and the bowstrings played a light movement.
Destroying the wolf king in the forest is the best way to defeat the wolves, and every time the arrow of the strong bow in Nameless's hand is fired, someone among the bandits will fall, and the attentive person will soon find that those who have fallen are all bandits who have just made a bold statement before the battle.
"Thank you!" Zhang Feng drew his lightsaber and shouted, "Brothers, the leaders of the bandits are all hanging!" It's our turn! β
Hundreds of people let out a neat roar, and the bandits hurried to find their leader, and soon they were surprised to find that their leader had fallen to the ground with an arrow in his forehead.
The death of the leader of the army may defeat the team, but there is also a chance that the army will be more powerful if they have a common enemy.
The bandits on the continent are different from the military, they prefer to engage in a cult of personality. Often, once the leader of the bandits is killed, the bandits will suddenly lose their combat effectiveness and flee in all directions as frightened birds.
This is also the combat method that the mercenary group has always used, when encountering an enemy nameless, they will shoot arrows to kill, arrogant first-order masters are often killed on the spot, and cautious masters will simply choose to retreat under the random arrows.
When the enemy loses its general, the ruffians rush over and drive away this group of bandits who want to pick up cheap.
This time it was exactly the same as the previous ones, and the log traps designed by the bandits were completely abandoned after the death of their leader, and they all turned around and fled.
"Don't run! Form a formation! In this way, you can reduce your losses! The melancholy man cried out, and the fleeing bandits did not glance at the titular master, lest they might stab their heads with the ghostly feathers of the arrows.
"Sure enough, it's him." A smile appeared at the corner of Domotoki's mouth: "I really didn't expect to meet it here again." β
Domotoki's family rushed to the other party almost without any hindrance, reached out and grabbed the other party from his horse back to Domotoki, casually threw the young man to the ground and said, "Little master, the person has been brought." β
"Good." Sitting on his horse, he looked down at the young man who was lying on the ground and was dizzy by the general, and said, "Sima Qingshan has not been seen for a long time. β
The young man's body shook slightly, and he slowly got up from the ground, always looking down at the horse and said coldly, "You recognized the wrong person." Few people will notice that there is a hint of sharpness in his voice, a hint of depth in his voice.
"Recognize the wrong person?" Don Benmu sneered: "My Don Benmu's eyesight is not so bad." How? As a descendant of one of the five founding heroes of the Dragon Kingdom, do you plan to even don't want your ancestors? β
The people around couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, and even Nameless, who had always been indifferent to anything, couldn't help but be taken aback this time and looked at Sima Qingyi on the ground.
"I can't believe you're still alive." Tang Benmu looked down at Sima Qingshan and said with a smile: "I remember that you were the most promising person of the generation that was recognized as a descendant of the Five Heroes. Then you can beat me with one hand. It's only been ten years, how did you become like this? What about your family heirloom? β
Sima Qingshan stood quietly on the ground without saying a word, and there was a sound of bone dislocation from his fists.
Ten years ago! Sima Qingshan is known as the most promising person of the latest generation of descendants of the five heroes of Yanjing. However, with a strange coup d'Γ©tat, the entire Sima family was slaughtered, and Sima Qingyi disappeared from people's sight.
A long time ago, the establishment of the Divine Dragon Kingdom was called the Five Founding Heroes. They are, Zhao, Kou, Zhu, Tangben, Sima!
The descendants of the five founding heroes inherit the will of their ancestors and guard this vast land. When people thought that this kind of thing would not change until the fall of the Dragon Kingdom.
However, just ten years ago, the previous emperor of the Shenlong Kingdom suddenly found evidence of the Sima family's rebellion before his death.
The Sima family was raided by the entire family of the previous emperor, and only Sima Qingshan of the Sima family was lucky to escape under the desperate protection of the general.
Although Zao Wou-Ki's ascension to the throne rehabilitated the Sima family, the descendants of this national hero have disappeared.
In order to ensure the integrity of the five heroes of the Divine Dragon Kingdom, Zao Wou-Ki even absurdly found a family surnamed Sima to temporarily fill the vacancy.
After this incident, some people simply say that they are the descendants of the four heroes of the founding of the country, and some people still maintain the name of the descendants of the five heroes of the founding of the country.
Don Motoki looked at Sima Qingyi in front of him from above, and this man used to look down on him ten years ago. Since getting the demon sword, Tang Benmu has also fantasized about meeting Sima Qingshan again, and he has also guessed what the situation of this most outstanding newcomer will be now.
Defeating Nameless and defeating Sima Qingshan is also what Don Motomu wants to do the most during this time. However, God seemed to have played a joke on him, the most outstanding person in his childhood now looked powerless.
"Where's your family heirloom? What have you been doing for the past decade? Are you worthy of your ancestors in doing so? Look up at me! The more he talked, the more excited he became, a piece of such a waste was not what he wanted! Since getting the demon sword, he has longed to defeat opponents who he couldn't defeat before, and he longs that his previous opponents were strong enough to be defeated by himself, instead of being less valuable than Yituo shit like he is now, and not giving him the slightest chance of revenge at all.
"Vindictive? Ten years? Ancestor ......" Sima Qingyi finally raised his head, his melancholy eyes were already flashing with tears, and two lines of hot tears flowed two clean marks on his dirty face.
"It's been 10 years...... Ha ha...... It's been ten years! It's been ten years since no one called me Sima Qingshan! I thought I had forgotten my ancestors! I thought that no one in this world would remember my name as Sima Qingshan! Hahahaha......" Sima Qingshan raised his head and laughed wildly, raising his hands high above his head and roaring: "Ah~~~!" Why am I still alive! Why do I naively think that as long as I have brains, I can build my own power to avenge my ancestors! Without power, even a gang of bandits can't control it! β
Sima Qingshan knelt on the ground and kept pounding the ground with his fists, as if he didn't feel that his fists had already been broken by the rubble on the ground, and he didn't feel that the bleeding hands were his own.
Tang Benmu looked at Sima Qingshan quietly, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded lightly: "I understand, I see." It's a shame that you can only be a waste for the rest of your life. His Majesty the Emperor has rehabilitated your family, and when you return there, you can at least live a life without worrying about food and clothing. β
Don Benmu walked past Sima Qingshan, and he didn't look at this poor man who was venting for the past ten years. The ancestors of the Sima family are also a generation of heroes, creating a very hot fighting spirit suitable for their bloodline, known as one of the most masculine fighting spirits in the world, legend has it that when this fighting spirit reaches a certain level, the people who fight with it will feel that the fighting spirit has a very high temperature, which is a very strange fighting spirit.
But this kind of fighting spirit also has its innate condition, that is, only a male surname can cultivate! Sima Qingshan should be twenty years old.
When the other party was looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, Tang Benmu suddenly found that the other party's voice was not only sharp, but also his skin was very soft, and the most prominent thing was that there was no Adam's apple at Sima Qingshan's Adam's apple.
As a childhood playmate, Don Benmu knew that Sima Qingshan was indeed a man. Since he began to cultivate the Extreme Flame Fighting Qi at a very young age, the Adam's apple was already quite prominent when Sima Qingshan was ten years old.
Now that Sima Qingshan's Adam's apple was gone, and his chin was even smoother, there was no trace of half a beard, coupled with his pale face and thin voice, Tang Benmu remembered what a sword master had said when he was chasing Sima Qingshan a long time ago.
"Even if the descendants of the Sima family are lucky enough to survive, they are no different from a waste!"
Anyone who has heard of the Extreme Flame Fighting Qi knows that those who have cultivated the Extreme Flame Fighting Qi will not be able to cultivate other Fighting Qi for the rest of their lives. And the easiest and most effective way to abolish the Extreme Flame Fighting Qi is to punish the Extreme Flame Fighting Qi cultivator to the palace!
It's just that when a cultivator with extremely hot fighting qi cultivates to a certain level, his place will become as hard as iron, and with the deliberate protection of the cultivator, it is even more difficult to break his life than to ascend to the sky.
At this moment, Tang Motomu fully understood the meaning of the words of the Sword Saint at that time, it was likely that that person stabbed Sima Qingshan's vital point, making this most outstanding young man become neither male nor female from now on, not to mention any extremely fierce cultivation.
"Give him a few hundred gold coins." Don Motogi coldly said to his subordinate general, a waste is no longer qualified to be his opponent.
Sima Qingyi looked at the money bag thrown in front of him and sneered, if this bag of gold coins was not long ago, he would not hesitate to pick it up and build his own cottage.
Now, however, the gold coins were no different from waste in his eyes. The cottage turned out to be nothing more than a dream, and the man who gave the money bag was not even a waste in the eyes of his genius ten years ago.
"By the way, now Your Majesty has found out who harmed your family." Don Benmu turned around and said, "But because your family has fallen into the middle of the road, Your Majesty did not pursue the Nalan family. You and I are both descendants of the Five Heroes, and I will seek justice for your family at the military competition. β
Sima Qingshan's body was shocked, the Nalan family was the most powerful general of the Sima family, and Sima's ancestors had said many times that if there was no Sima family, the Nalan family might have a chance to become one of the five heroes.
For many years, the Nalan family has been an important general of the Sima family, and it can even be said that it has become an indispensable part of the Sima family.
At the moment when Don Motomu said Nalan, Nameless felt Li Jia's body beside him stiffen at the same time. It was only at this time that Nameless discovered that Li Jia had a trace of inexplicable emotion in his eyes when he looked at Sima Qingshan. Is it love? Is it hate? Is it pitiful? Is it helplessness?
Nameless couldn't tell, he only knew that it was a look mixed with mixed emotions.
Tang Benmu looked up to the sky and sighed softly, the most glorious Sima family of the Shenlong Kingdom except for the Zhao family has completely come to an end, and the era of the descendants of the five heroes has become history at this moment, and there will always be a regret in his life that cannot be washed away.
At some point, it started to rain on what was supposed to be a good day. In the middle of winter, there is no snow in the sky, but there is a drizzle, as if the sky is crying for the Sima family.
Sima Qingshan just stood quietly, not feeling the rain hitting his face at all, and his dead eyes looked blankly at the sky.
"Boss, why don't you leave?" Zhang Feng said with some curiosity.
Nameless stared at Sima Qingshan for a long time, he had also seen the history of the Sima family in the literature, Sima Buqun among the five heroes of the founding of the country was not only wise and demonic, but also extremely fierce and vindictive, and the ancestors of the Tang family also praised it endlessly, and half of the land of the entire Shenlong Kingdom was defeated by Sima Buqun.
Nameless admired the general Sima Buqun who loved his subordinates, regarded them as companions, and cared for the people of the territory recorded in the literature.
"Nothing, let's go." Nameless urged the stegosaurus under his crotch to walk forward, and a book in his arms happened to fall at the feet of Sima Qingshan.
"Boss, you've dropped something."
"Dropping something?" Nameless looked back at Zhang Feng and pointed to the manuscript on the ground and smiled: "That's not mine, it should belong to him, right?" β
The ruffians were all human spirits, and when they heard Nameless say this, they laughed and chatted with each other, and no longer bothered with the pure new manuscript on the ground.
Sima Qingshan glanced at the books on the ground, he no longer had any hope for anything, the domineering of the extremely fierce fighting spirit made him unable to practice other fighting qi for the rest of his life, even if this mercenary leader who seemed a little indifferent kindly left anything, it would be a useless comfort to him at most.
The wind rose, just blowing open the book left by the nameless, and at this moment, Sima Qingyi's eyes could no longer leave the book that was slowly turning.
He squatted down and picked up the book on the ground and closed it again, and the four big characters on the cover came into view, "Sunflower Treasure Book", and there were a few small words below the big characters: nameless translation.
Sima Qingshan opened the book again, and the first sentence that caught his eye made his body shock again: This is an evil thing, cultivators, please choose carefully, if you want to practice divine skills, swing a knife from the palace.
If you want to practice magic skills, swing a knife from the palace! The eight bloody characters hit Sima Qingshan's mind like a forbidden spell from the magic guide.
Flipping through the "Sunflower Treasure Book", Sima Qingshan carefully looked at the translated things inside, and a happy smile appeared on his face at first, and it didn't take long for this smile to become extremely bitter.
The Ancient Martial Arts actually has such an evil technique, how can you practice this magic skill even if it is really invincible in the world? The price to pay is simply too great. Heaven actually sent such a divine skill that he could only practice when he became a waste that was neither male nor female.
Sima Qingshan, wanting to cry, and wanting to look up to the sky and laugh, two extreme emotions filled his face, forming an indescribable horror, at this moment he seemed to be a Shura who had just crawled out of hell.
"Is this really the only way to get revenge?!? Sima Qingyi looked up to the sky and roared: "God! You answer me! Why! Why did my Sima family suffer this catastrophe! Could it be that this is my family's killing too much and deserves this retribution?! β
"Life is like a cup of unpleasant liquid. No matter how much you don't like it, drink it. Nameless didn't know when she left the back of the stegosaurus, standing not far from Sima Qingyi's shirt and saying, Li Jia always stood quietly beside him, and at this moment her eyes looking at Nameless were even more complicated.
Sima Qingyi stared blankly at the book in his hand, turned around namelessly and slowly left with Li Jia.
Flipping through the "Sunflower Treasure Book" in his hand, Sima Qingshan was smiling softly with tears in his eyes, since he had to drink this cup of liquid no matter what, should someone accompany him to drink this unpalatable liquid? Should the Nalan family come and accompany them?
Back then, half of the Sima family's resources were given to the Nalan family, and in exchange for such an unpalatable liquid, then the Nalan family would come and drink it together!
This is!? Not quite! Sima Qingshan flipped through the fifth layer of the Sunflower Treasure Book, and when he flipped through it later, he suddenly found that it was blank! Take a closer look, and the small print above reads: To be continued.
This Sunflower Book is a text translated when Nameless was bored, and then it was not all translated because of the preparation for class, so it was only a fragment until today, and even Nameless himself forgot about it.
"Boss, why is that kid following us?"
Nameless looked back and saw Sima Qingshan, and suddenly smiled: "Open a room for him and tell him to wait for me for one night." β
Sima Qingshan's room the next day
"It's an addendum." Nameless put down the second half of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Nameless turned around and asked, "Something?" β
"Why help me?" Sima Qingshan stared at the nameless eyes, although the wandering of these years did not allow him to enhance his strength, but he also refined a pair of eyes that could see through lies.
"Why?" Nameless thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I admire Marshal Sima in the record, maybe it's because of a person's eyes, maybe I don't even know why I want to help you." β
The nameless eyes were very calm, Sima Qingshan was silent, he knew that this man who didn't say anything big and generous said was not lying, but it was this simple words that plucked the most fragile string in his heart.
Day 3
"Boss, why is that kid still following us?"
"Huh?" Nameless turned around and saw Sima Qingyi quite unexpectedly, and said lightly to Zhang Feng: "Give him a room." β
Day 4
"Boss, why is that kid still following us?"
"Give him a room."
Day 5
"Boss, that kid ......"
"Give him a room." Nameless interrupted Zhang Feng's questioning.
Day 6
"Boss ......"
"Give him a room."
Day 7
"Liu Qiang! Give that kid a room today, too! Zhang Feng simply didn't bother to ask Nameless: "Hey! In the past few years, I can still eat and drink like this, but I can't mix it up in the future, buddy, and I'm going to mix it up like this. β
Day 8
"Boss, open a room for that kid too." Liu Qiang didn't wait for Zhang Feng to remind him, he had already pointed to Sima Qingshan, who had been following them all these days but never said a word, and said to the innkeeper: "Yes, it's him." β
For a month and a half, the soldiers and mercenary groups have staged almost the same drama. Everyone is used to things like this. There are fewer and fewer groups of forces that come to intercept them.
The bandits are not stupid, the soldiers and mercenaries continue to easily break through any defense, among which Wei Dehai even appeared as a second-order sword saint, and the interception force was suddenly reduced by more than half.
During an interception by bandits, a strong wind blew that day, blowing Hercules' cloak off. Seeing the existence of Beamon in the mercenary group, the bandits casually made a joke about the orc empire. Hercules has finally struck!
As soon as the news spread that the mysterious mercenary group had a third-order master, the forces that the mercenary group paid attention to were almost extinct.
Third Order! Young third-order master! Everyone knows that if this kid doesn't die, it is very likely that he will break through to the realm of a fourth-order master, and the person who provoked this master before will be unlucky.
Under the watchful eyes of many forces, the soldier mercenary group advanced in the direction of Tianchi City at high speed, and at this time, many forces also guessed that the target of this mysterious mercenary group was also the treasure of Tianchi City.
(To be continued)
