Chapter 165: Entering the Stone Forest
Everyone is packing their belongings and luggage, ready to go. Seeing that these mercenaries were busy, Yue Yi, as a layman, could only watch dryly, especially when he saw the mercenaries around him glance over from time to time, which made him quite embarrassed. However, when he was bored, seeing that Ma Ye, Yue Yi felt a burst of amusement in his heart.
"I said you're okay, master, I'm in a hurry to go to Wastestone City. I saw a man wearing a red horse coat standing next to the carriage, with a fat head and big ears, said impatiently, and after speaking, several servants around him helped him into the carriage.
"Master Ma is angry, this journey is not short, be prepared, let's set off. Manshi hurriedly said with a smile, and then led the one-horned red horse and beckoned everyone to start going.
Yue Yi looked at this kind of one-horned red horse, the whole body is red, there is a sharp little horn on the head, more than half a zhang high, suitable for one person to set off, this kind of one-horned red horse runs very fast on land, it is also strong and powerful, and the most important thing is that it is cheap, it can be bought anywhere, it is quite practical, and it is the most common means of transportation on land.
With a cup of tea, the team of people and horses had already left Shilin Town, walking on the winding and rugged path, the silent path made these mercenaries suddenly vigilant, constantly scanning the surrounding situation, holding the weapons on their waists in their hands, as long as there was any movement, they could quickly defend at the first time.
Yue Yi walked relatively far back in the group, so that he could clearly see what was happening in front of him. With these old mercenaries who have been in the stone forest for many years, Yue Yi is a lot more relieved, you can see how experienced they are from the details, even if it is the first time to cooperate, a look or movement can make the other party understand, I have to make Yue Yi a little admired, it seems that the mercenary is not a mouthful of food that everyone can eat.
Because of the black gun behind him, after a while, a lot of sweat broke out on Yue Yi's forehead, which he was used to. The mercenaries around thought that Yue Yi was too nervous, and then said with a smile: "Little brother, it's the first time to be a mercenary, it's okay, you can rest assured, there are so many veterans here, if you really encounter any situation when the time comes, just do it." Young people, after a few contractions, the heart will eventually grow. ”
Yue Yi nodded in agreement, thinking in his heart, if you know that I am carrying a few hundred catties of things to accompany you, I don't know what your expression will be. In this case, the more you keep a low profile, the better it will be for you, otherwise what will happen later, and you will be wronged if you are the first to be pushed out.
Seeing that this little genius had accepted his own education without arrogance, he immediately laughed, and then laughed: "Little brother, this green cow behind you won't be specially brought on the road to reward a few brothers, such a small cow is not enough for us to stuff our teeth." ”
When a few people around him heard this, they also laughed. Seeing that Xiao Tian was being used as a joke, Yue Yi also snickered, and then glanced at Xiao Tian, only to see Xiao Tian's bull's eyes glaring at the person angrily, Yue Yi hurriedly snickered and calmed down, otherwise, with Xiao Tian's temper, it is estimated that the person was directly killed.
It was too simple for Yue Yi to conceal his strength, as a sealer, even if he hadn't entered the Seal Realm, he could seal his strength, even if he was the captain of the Barbarian Mountain, he couldn't see his depth. If the true strength is directly exposed, these people will stay away from themselves. Maybe after staying in the desert for a long time, he suddenly enjoyed this straightforward nature, and he was quite happy to be with these mercenaries.
"Everyone, pay attention, there is a stone forest ahead, be careful of the surrounding environment, if there is a situation, the surrounding people will quickly support. Hearing laughter from behind, the brute stone at the front suddenly reminded.
"Yes, Captain!"
These improvised mercenaries also know each other, no one has an opinion, after all, this errand is a rare encounter, not to mention the good pay, in the case of a large number of people, it can also ensure its own safety, this is a single order, worth five or six orders on weekdays, and I am still quite grateful to Captain Manshi for choosing himself.
Yue Yi glanced around at the mercenaries, and found that after the reminder of the captain of the barbarian stone, everyone had a serious and calm face, and returned to the previous state of vigilance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the appeal of this captain of the barbarian stone is quite large, and he must be careful next, and the power of the spirit also extends to the surroundings.
It's still safer outside the stone forest, and there are no accidents. Not long after entering the stone forest, a small-scale attack of alien beasts began, and there were casualties in the team in an instant.
Attacking them is a strange beast called the Earth Rock Worm, this strange beast lurks in the ground all the year round, with earthy yellow spikes on its tail, and the spikes have an anesthetic effect on the spikes, and the strange beasts or humans who often pass by, if they don't pay attention, will step on the spikes, the soles of their feet will be pierced, and then the whole leg will be paralyzed. If there is no herbal treatment, the whole leg will be completely unconscious in less than half a day, and even if you take the antidote later, it will not help.
These mercenaries have been observing their surroundings, and because there are people in front of them to explore the way, they are not worried about the situation under their feet. But these earth rock insects are very smart, and when they pass half in front of them, they let the spikes of their tails stick out of the ground, and the four mercenaries stepped on them directly for a while, and they were instantly pierced through the soles of their feet, and their whole legs were numb.
Fortunately, those injured mercenaries had been wandering in the depths of the stone forest all year round, and they had already prepared their own herbs, so they quickly took them as soon as possible, and after doing a simple bandage, the large army continued to advance. With this lesson, everyone is much more careful in the future, Yue Yi has the power of the spirit, of course he doesn't worry about any ground rock insects, but he can't remind the mercenaries in advance, so as not to be regarded as a pathfinder after exposing his strength.
As for Xiao Tian, Yue Yi didn't have to worry about it at all. Under Xiao Tian's iron hooves, those earth rock insects just stretched out their spikes and were directly trampled off by a hoof. Xiaotian also seems to be able to sense the underground rock insects, and he steps directly on them every few steps, and he doesn't know how many of them have been trampled on this way. Only Yue Yi knew about what was happening in secret, and the mercenaries couldn't find out anything at all, only that the posture of the green cow suddenly became weird.
The speed of the large army slowed down, and no one wanted to be suddenly pierced by the thorns of the ground rock insects, and the posture of everyone walking was almost sliding, for fear that as soon as they raised their feet, a spike protruded from the soles of their feet in the next second, and it seemed that the pressure brought to them by this earth rock insect was not small.
The deeper you go into the stone forest, the more you will be attacked by strange beasts, and the number of attacks you will be in no less than five waves before and after. The people present were very vigilant about the surrounding environment, and they cleared the sneak attack of the strange beasts as soon as possible. In the mercenary team, it is not a good thing to be blindly low-key, and Yue Yi also showed a few hands just right, which impressed the heavyweights.
The fifth wave of sneak attack on them is known for its speed of the flying rock mosquito, this kind of beast is extremely fast, it is difficult to catch their whereabouts with the naked eye, the mouth needle as hard as a rock, can easily pierce the skin of the strong person with the bronze mirror, quickly suck the blood in its body, the wound of the bitten person will be extremely itchy, if not treated in time, it will spread to the whole body, very terrifying.
These flying rock mosquitoes like to attack collectively, and after a successful blow, they quickly fly away from the place after only sucking a mouthful of blood, which is very annoying. These mercenaries can only attack indiscriminately, if it is a larger beast, it is fine, but this kind of flying rock mosquito that is difficult to keep up with the speed of the naked eye, these mercenaries have no way to start.
Swish!
Under the power of the gods, every move of these flying rock mosquitoes was under Yue Yi's control, and even the flight trajectory could be judged, one wanted to attack Yue Yi's flying rock mosquito, but Yue Yi grabbed it, and directly pinched and exploded, and his palm was full of blood splattered out, making Yue Yi secretly scream for a while, and he grabbed four or five in a row, and these flying rock mosquitoes were instantly away from the crowd.
Originally, these strange beasts wanted to bite the green cow next to them, but when the sharp needle just pierced Xiaotian's body, it broke directly, and the cowhide was too thick and hard to bite at all, and in the end they had to give up. Fortunately, Yue Yi's speed attracted everyone's attention before, otherwise his eyes would have fallen out when he saw this scene.
"Little brother, you are too powerful, you can actually catch these flying rock mosquitoes, you know, among us, even the captain of the brute stone who led the team is probably not as calm as you. ”
"Haha, I knew that reaching this level at such an age is no longer something that can be described as talent. ”
"This strength, genuine, is admired. ”
The mercenaries present said a word to me, no matter how calm Yue Yi was on weekdays, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he heard this, and spread his hands and jokingly said: "I'm not as powerful as you think, but my eyes are slightly better." ”
I was not proud because of the praise, nor was I silent because of the praise, I just laughed it off, and then silently followed the large army to continue to advance. Anyway, his goal has been achieved, in this circle, strength is equal to status, as long as you have a skill, in this group of mercenaries, you will not be looked down upon by others, this is also a rule!
After walking for half a day, the sky has darkened, and the night is the most dangerous time in the stone forest, this stone forest is very large, and it is impossible to go out without a day, so it is necessary to spend the night.
The night is not suitable for walking, it is dark all around, and it is easy to be ambushed by strange beasts, and if you rush forward, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. These are all experiences gained after many years of wandering, and everyone present knows this, just when everyone wanted to set up camp on the spot, the sound of a wild stone suddenly sounded.
"Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this place. ”
