After crossing the cold stone river, the mercenaries immediately rushed into the dense forest on the bank of the river, and kept running into the depths.

Zhang Yi ran at the front, his movements were sharp and calm, he was more calm than the mercenaries in the jungle, and he was able to find passages in the thorny dense forest.

The mercenaries followed him closely, not lost in a panic, so no one followed.

I don't know how long I fled, but everyone's body finally couldn't hold on, and in order to prevent someone from falling behind, Zhang Yi still had to stop in a relatively flat and wide place.

A group of people gathered together, except for Zhang Yi, all of them sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and no one still had the strength to say a word.

Zhang Yi also felt that his throat was scorching painfully, as if he had swallowed a red-hot soldering iron, and his body kept feeling sore, numb, swollen and painful, especially the injured shoulder, and a layer of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead with a sharp pain.

But the body on his body was quite sufficient, Zhang Yi glanced down, and now the people who had escaped, plus himself, there were only seven people left.

Susan and Delaney, the two long-range firepowers, were safe and sound, but the mercenaries who formed the improvised defense line only escaped four, and the gray dove mercenary group of more than twenty and nearly thirty people could be said to be almost wiped out in this round of sneak attacks, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yi finally noticed the black mage's spell, I am afraid that no one here will survive.

After resting for a while, everyone regained some strength, but their faces were pale and miserable, they were still confused, and they didn't understand why they were attacked by the black mage.

A mercenary couldn't help but curse angrily, with a faint cry in his voice: "Damn, where did these skeletons come from?!" ”

"No matter where we came from, now we ...... Commander, and brothers...... Alas. One of the mercenaries spoke, but soon couldn't speak, and sighed deeply.

Originally, the gray dove mercenary group was about to be unable to sustain itself, but now that it has encountered such a blow, only such a few people have survived, it is even more difficult, and it is definitely impossible to find the bones to take revenge, they have neither the strength nor the guts, this mercenary group is destined to be disbanded.

However, whether it is disbanded or not is a matter of the future, and the most important thing now is how to escape the catastrophe in front of us.

After a little quiet, everyone realized that they had entered the Shadow Mountains, a jungle full of deadly dangers, which this group of low-level mercenaries could not break into at will, and if they turned back, they didn't know if the bones were still there.

The mercenaries didn't know what to do, and their eyes were quickly focused on Susan, waiting for her to come up with an idea.

But Susan was now in a trance, and her bright eyes had lost their former brilliance, and Miss Priest Delaney was comforting her softly, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Everyone knows how hard Captain Dennis's death hit Susan, who is more like Susan's father than the previous leader, and the mercenaries can't bear to bother her at this moment.

But soon they remembered another person, just now at the last moment, Zhang Yi rescued them from the desperate situation of being besieged, the mercenaries still knew it, and looking at his appearance, he didn't look like an ordinary person.

It's just that the mercenaries still have great doubts about Zhang Yi's identity, the gray dove mercenary group doesn't know how many times they have been to the Thorn Forest, and they have never been in any greater danger, this time they just dug Zhang Yi's grave, and they were immediately attacked by the black mage at night, saying that it had nothing to do with him.

But Zhang Yi was also attacked by skeleton soldiers like the mercenaries, and finally escaped with them, and he can't be blamed for this incident anyway.

The four mercenaries discussed in a low voice, and after talking for a while, they didn't have a clue, and one of them asked, "Do any of you know the environment here?"

The other three all shook their heads, revealing an expression of "Aren't you talking nonsense", the mercenary who asked sighed, he also knew that he had asked an idiot question, everyone had been together for many years, and they knew each other well, and no one in the Gray Dove Mercenary Group had ever entered the Shadow Mountains.

Just when the four mercenaries were down, a voice suddenly sounded next to them.

"I'm familiar with the Shadow Mountains, so I might be able to help a little."

The four of them turned their heads to look at each other, and the person who spoke turned out to be Zhang Yi.

One of the mercenaries swallowed and asked, "Mr. Elwin, have you been to the Shadow Mountains?" Can you find your way out? ”

Zhang Yi sighed in his heart, of course he could find a way out, and there was more than one, but only if they had enough luck or strength to go out.

He couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with his hands, and after looking around in the gloomy environment around him, he slowly spoke: "I've been here a few times before, and I know a few ways to leave the Shadow Mountain Range. ”

The expressions of the four mercenaries were immediately shocked, and their eyes became awe-inspiring as they looked at him, those who could come out of the Shadow Mountains alive were eligible to be respected by all adventurers in the Kingdom of Gaston. Even Susan and Delaney's attention was attracted by Zhang Yi's words.

It's good to have a way out, the Grey Dove Mercenary Group used to operate in the Thorny Forest, and so did the vast majority of adventure groups, very few people have ever entered the Shadow Mountains, and that's something that only people can do.

Now they had no choice but to run in, but they didn't know the road at all, and even the direction was a little confused, and Zhang Yi's words were undoubtedly a sedative for them.

It's just that Zhang Yi's face is very ugly, and his next words are undoubtedly a basin of cold water on the heads of several people.

"I know of several ways to get out, but they are all very dangerous, and we have to get out of it with the fact that we are now...... It's hard to be honest. ”

After all, the Shadow Mountain Range is a famous 3O-level dungeon area, and the deeper you go, the more difficult it is, these mercenaries can't even compare to level 1 players, even if Zhang Yi is familiar with this place, he doesn't have the confidence to leave safely with them, as long as he encounters one or two ordinary monsters on the way, it is enough to prey on them clean.

The mercenaries looked at each other, and their hearts sank again, they grew up listening to the rumors of the dark jungle, and at the same time, they were extremely yearning for this vast mountain range, but also extremely fearful, and many adventurers who disappeared into the depths of the mountain range every year reminded them of the danger of this mountain range.

"Why don't we go back and see if the bones catch up? If we don't catch up, we'll just go back the way we came. One of the mercenaries hesitated, and it was evident that all four of them were hesitating.

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "Don't waste time, necromancers are stubborn characters who will not give up even if they die, as long as it doesn't take the initiative to let us go, and escape from its hands like us, the necromancer will definitely not give up." ”

Zhang Yi had dealt with necromancers a lot in the game before, and this group of guys who were good at summoning the dead were completely a group of paranoid people who even had their heads rotten, and they never left a living mouth in their work. Zhang Yi once offended a high-level necromancer, and was directly chased by it from the Breath of Nature Alliance of the Southern Big 6 to the Titan Holy See of the Northern Big 6 day and night, and finally relied on the help of several Templar mages to kill the necromancer.

"Mr. Elwin, are you familiar with necromancers?"

And at this moment, a crisp voice drew everyone's attention.

It's Susan.

The trance-like look on her face was gone, but there was still some grief in her eyes.

"I've had some dealings before, so I can conclude that the other party will definitely catch up, necromancers hate flowing water, but the cold stone river can't stop it for much time, we need to make a decision as much as possible."

Susan nodded, looking at the four mercenaries: "As Mr. Erwin said, we are running out of time at the moment, whether it is the guy catching up behind us or this mountain range, it can pose danger to us at any time, and we don't have food with us." In any case, it is better to have a road than no road to walk, and if there are several, we can choose the least dangerous one. ”

Zhang Yi was very amazed at this girl, she was able to suppress her sadness in such a short period of time, her psychological quality was excellent, and she was also able to clearly understand the current danger and the most urgent thing.

The mercenaries all agreed with Susan's words, and they all focused on Zhang Yi.

"There are two roads with the least danger."

Zhang Yi carefully recalled the memories of the Shadow Mountains in the game, he had fought here with his teammates for a year in a row, from more than twenty to thirty-five, and he was very familiar with the terrain and environment of the dungeon, and he still remembered it clearly.

"One is to go downstream with the cold stone river, there is a shoal to cross the river back to the outskirts of the jungle, we can make a big bend to avoid the necromancer behind, the only problem is that our whereabouts can be easily revealed, the necromancer will catch up at any time, and this distance is not close, we need to walk for at least six days to get there."

"Can't we swim down the river, or find a random place to cross the river?" A mercenary asked.

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "There are many things in the cold stone river that you definitely don't want to touch, if we really go downstream along the river, it won't take a quarter of an hour to become the most obvious prey." And if you find a random place to cross the river, you can't avoid the pursuit of the necromancer, and it will definitely set up a secret whistle on the bank of the river. ”

"What about the other way?" Susan asked, looking at her expression, which seemed to be very repulsive to swimming.

"The other way is to continue deeper into the mountains, where there are a large number of relics of the chosen people of the gods, and I know of one of the ruins that there is a magic circle that can be teleported to the outside world, and it only needs magic power to operate. But the problem is that the deeper you go, the more and more dangerous the monsters will become, and if we are unlucky, we will be finished. ”

Zhang Yi said the only two feasible paths that came to mind, it depended on how they would decide, but Zhang Yi had already decided in his heart to take the next path, even if it was to separate from the group of people in front of him.

Susan pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Erwin, which one do you want to take?" ”

"I'll go deep into the mountains." Zhang Yi replied truthfully.

"Why?" Susan hurriedly asked, and several mercenaries who were discussing in a low voice also looked over.

"Because the path along the Cold Stone River is too far, I don't have the confidence to avoid the necromancer's pursuit. Even if you cross the river. On the contrary, it only takes two days to get from here to the ruins of the Chosen One, and I have some certainty that I can avoid monsters along the way, and the necromancers don't dare to blatantly pursue us in the mountains. ”
