Chapter 24: Out of the Mountain

"I don't like jokes." Zhou Heng said very seriously, it was a matter of life, and Zhou Heng had to be serious.

"Do you think someone like me would be in the mood to joke with you?" Not to be outdone, the boss glared back.

Zhou Heng's eyes sharpened, and his razor-like eyes began to scrape over the boss's body, and the boss had a chill, and with the behavior of this young man in the past few days, the boss suddenly understood what this young man was thinking.

"Don't look at it, I'm only more than 100 catties, how much meat can I produce, even if you squeeze my bones out of oil, you won't survive this winter."

Zhou Heng's eyes weakened, no matter how frugal he was, the boss was just this one, he couldn't survive after slaughtering and eating meat, it was basically impossible to survive without reserves in the winter when prey was scarce, Zhou Heng was used to a hunting life, and understood that it was now in a stalemate, the giant bear just wanted to kill Zhou Heng, but Zhou Heng didn't know how to resist yet.

"You won't starve, as long as you come out of this forest with me."

A burst of reluctance flashed in Zhou Heng's eyes, and he felt a great pain in his heart when he looked at everything he had worked so hard to make in the tree house.

"I really don't want to leave, but I don't have a choice."

If you continue to stay here, you will die, go out, you can live, Zhou Heng has no choice.

"Before you go, get ready."

"Do you need anything to prepare?"

"You may not feel anything in the Forbidden Forest, in fact, the language spoken by the two of us is not the same language at all, Ogudilas gave me a magic scroll of ancient proverbs before leaving, you give me this scroll to eat, and you can interpret and communicate with the most spoken 4056 languages in the Seven Continents in the future."

"What kind of material is that scroll, can you eat it?"

"Sheepskin."

"I'll boil it and put some salt."

“…… Cook slowly"

A lot of things have happened recently, the supreme mage of the Mage Tower is wanted by other supreme beings, and the Begtens, known as the legendary ancient land, was reborn after being destroyed, and various major events that can affect the change of the world pattern have surged out like a volcanic eruption in this month, but these things only affect the interests of the superiors, and for the people at the bottom of society, as long as it does not cause war, everything is good.

The North Road Mercenary Association is one of the earliest mercenary associations established, and as the third-ranked large mercenary association in the Seven Continents, it is naturally full of talents.

The ability and wealth have reached the level of the North Road Mercenary Association, in addition to taking on tasks, they also collect and sell tasks, and many small or sensitive tasks they will sell for other idle mercenaries to take over. The mercenary association that has done this can collect and accept all tasks within a certain range, and all other mercenaries within this range have to look at them, and the North Road Mercenary Association is the head snake of this place, the Earth Emperor.

There is such a thing as a ground snake in every place, and each ground snake has an undisputed authority in its own area, even if the free mercenary group arrives here, they don't dare to show the North Road mercenary association.

Milu is the manager of a small town on the North Road Mercenary Association in the North Road, this town is one of the spheres of influence of the North Road, and the powerful forces of the North Road Mercenary Association firmly control this huge interest, whether a merchant or a nobleman wants to hire a mercenary, he has to talk to Mi Lu, and after accepting it, Mi Lu will announce the task, and after completing it, he will live by the commission from the mercenary. In this area, Milu doesn't need to work and can live well every day, his physical ability has deteriorated greatly after more than ten years without swords and guns, and his original sharpness and murderous aura have disappeared, and now he looks more like a cunning profiteer than an iron-blooded mercenary.

Today, he was very happy, and the arrival of his old friend made him sigh, and he dragged this old friend to drink to relieve his boredom.

"I haven't seen you for half a year, you're getting fatter." The boss smiled and pinched Milu's stomach, and Milu pretended to be very angry and knocked the boss's hand off, but he couldn't pretend to be serious, and soon laughed again.

"Alas, that little bastard from Helan came to me a few days ago and told me that you died, I still don't believe it, how could a scourge like you die so early, you see, I'm right, right." Milou slaps his chest loudly, looking extremely funny.

"Alas, Helan is right, I really thought I was going to die, so let him come back early, there are some things that are not enough for outsiders." The boss sighed, his eyes revealed a look of fear, being a mercenary, and what he had experienced as a mercenary and a strong man who single-handedly reached the top ten mercenary groups in the entire continent, what he heard and felt must be unusual.

"Okay? I am hungry. Zhou Heng interrupted the reminiscence between the boss and Mi Lu very inappropriately, Mi Lu was too happy to see that the boss was still alive, and he didn't notice that there was a teenager standing behind the boss for a while.

"You are?" Milou has seen many people in his life, the young man is wild and bloody, strong like an adult monster, and just from the skeleton, he is a well-proportioned and explosive powerful warrior. Such a teenager is simply a natural mercenary, and his talent is enviable.

"I'm hungry and want to eat." Zhou Heng doesn't like nonsense.

"A junior will join our mercenary group in the future." The boss snorted, Zhou Heng even wanted to eat the giant bear, the whole beast incarnated, there is no reason for the beast to be in a good mood, and it is not impossible for a bad blade to face each other.

"You have a good junior." Mi Lu said with some jealousy, the future of a mercenary club can be seen from the quality of the juniors. Zhou Heng's appearance is not good, but his body is well-proportioned and his skeleton is strong, even from the perspective of Mi Lu, who has seen all the vicissitudes of life, he can understand that it is not surprising that this young man will definitely get ahead in a few years, and it is not good for such a talent not to make friends.

"Hehe, I'm hungry, right, we don't have any good things here, enough wine and food, let's take a walk, I won't see you for half a year, I won't drink it today." Milou pulled the boss and ran down the street, the boss smiled, the feeling of being reborn was too refreshing, and he was not a man if he didn't drink refreshingly.

When I arrived at the hotel, Mi Lu went directly to Zhou Heng and the boss to a box, what is Mi Lu's identity, almost the same level as the local lord, of course the people in the hotel did not dare to slack off, and a large number of wine, meat and delicacies were sent to Mi Lu's box one after another.

This time, Zhou Heng ate very happily, eating hundreds of catties of meat and hundreds of catties of coarse grains alone, and Milu was secretly stunned.

Zhou Heng's original appetite was not so large, he was so hungry after he came out of the forbidden forest of the giant bear, he felt that no matter how he ate, he felt that he could eat, and after eating a lot of food, his stomach did not feel full at all, and in the end, he did not continue to eat because he saw that he had eaten too much, and that eating too much was not good for his health.

"Young people, eating more is good for your health." The boss said meaningfully, Zhou Heng's body has begun to change from the deepest part, and the talent suppressed by the giant bear has begun to slowly transform every nerve, making the muscles tougher and the internal organs more energetic, more than ten years of breathing and breathing have allowed Zhou Heng to accumulate a lot of life energy, and only one day out of the forbidden forest Zhou Heng felt the extremely scorching power in his body, as if he could detonate this scorching power as long as he had an opportunity. Zhou Heng didn't want to touch this power, just like he rejected the request of his initial will, he was not interested in the power that he was not sure to grasp, and he would definitely not touch it unless it was a matter of life and death.

At night, Zhou Heng was more energetic, and the power in his body was even more violent and scorching, no matter how Zhou Heng suppressed it, he couldn't stabilize his mind.

The brain inexplicably began to be filled with a sense of helplessness and emptiness, Zhou Heng gasped, and his tenacious will firmly suppressed every trace of scorching heat that was more violent because of the depression.

"Why do you want to suppress me?"

"What are you?"

"I am you."

"Then why can't I control ......?"

"Because your life does not belong to you."

Zhou Heng was in a daze, this dream, when he got up the next day, Zhou Heng would not remember, just like every dream, no one would remember the dream that he really had after falling asleep.

Outside the window, the boss looked at Zhou Heng who exuded a scorching breath, the boss followed Zhou Heng since dinner, the boss who stepped into the level of a paladin with half a foot has a sad and crazy sensing ability, he can feel that Zhou Heng has a kind of power that continues to grow vigorously, but this power is suppressed by Zhou Heng, the boss did not help Zhou Heng control this force, nor did he mention too many points, the boss is a person who has come over, and understands that the outbreak of power will only become more and more depressed, as long as he helps Zhou Heng at the right time, Zhou Heng can get more powerful power, It's still too early, it's only been a day since he came out of the Forbidden Forest, Zhou Heng's own ability has not yet reached a critical point, and his qualifications are far more than that.

"It's just a matter of being entrusted, and he's probably going to be soon." The boss looked at Zhou Heng and sighed slightly, Zhou Heng didn't eat hard and soft, he was decisive in killing, the boss believed that as long as he blocked his way of survival in the future, he would definitely not hesitate to kill the killer, such a person is estimated to be able to live well.

The Boss felt a hint of excitement.

"By the way, the appraiser has arrived, and the things you asked me to sell are being appraised."

"Thanks, Milou, I don't know how to sell these things without you." I don't know what material the Arcane Crystal Nucleus gave by the giant bear is, and I don't know what it is used for, but since it is something given by the giant bear, it will never be bad, how can a mythical-level character give something bad?

The Arcane Crystal Nucleus is an extremely delicate and detailed magical core creation, and a large magical machine or large magic array needs the Arcane Crystal Nucleus to provide power. Generally speaking, the older the arcane crystal nucleus, the more stable the power output, because the older the arcane crystal nucleus, the more magical elements it can absorb, and the ancient arcane technology far surpasses the modern magic technology. The boss is a rough man, if he is asked to point out a little combat skills, maybe he can still fool around, but when he encounters the precision core of a high-end magic creation, he can only whine, the boss has been mixed in the mercenary world for decades, and there will be no fewer doors, and the mercenaries on the north road are entrenched in one side with great wealth, and there are naturally many masters, and the boss has excellent friends in it, so he asked Milu to take an arcane crystal nucleus to a magic appraiser to see how much this thing can be worth. It's been an afternoon, and it's almost time for the results to come by now.
