Suddenly, a cold voice came into his ears: "Stand back." Davin was a thriller and instantly sobered up. He recognized it as the voice of the snub star, and immediately backed away, not stopping until he had withdrawn a few dozen steps. When he stopped retreating and looked up at the Splitting Wind Fox, he saw a picture that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

In mid-air, the Wind Splitter Fox still maintained a ferocious swooping stance, however, at this moment, it was shrouded in a layer of dazzling silver light, completely unable to move. The silver light seemed to gather all the starlight, and it was so brilliant that it was even brighter than the real starlight. At this moment, under this silver light, Dai Wen also really saw the face of this Wind Splitting Fox clearly. Its eyes were slender, and its pupils were the blue of the sky, like a deep spring, so clear that there was not a single blemish to be found. In its eyes, Devin saw a deep anger, and just by facing this look, Devin felt as if he was about to be burned to ashes by the anger in his eyes.

He turned his head and saw William looking at him with concern, and Sona pounced directly. It was the first time Sona had experienced such a crisis since becoming a mercenary, and just now, her brother had almost died at the claws of the Wind Fox. It was only then that she truly realized how dangerous the life of a mercenary was, and how dangerous Davin's life was before.

Devin comforted Sona, then turned to the cold star, and asked cautiously, "What's going on, why is this monster attacking us?" Although the strength of his previous property Snub Star was very strong, and he should have reached the heaven level, but the strength shown by Snub Star at this time really scared him, it was a saint-level Warcraft, and it was temporarily bound there by the Snub Star like that, which shows that Snub Star is at least the strength of the holy level. Looking at Snub Xing's weightless look, maybe his strength is more than that.

"Well," Snub Star glanced at Higus coldly, "I'm going to ask them, these are caused by them, and now that this guy is here, they can't continue to hide it, right?"

At this moment, the Wind Splitting Fox's wind elemental suddenly erupted, breaking free from the silver light that bound it. After breaking free from its restraints, it controlled its balance in the air and landed lightly on the ground, looking at the cold star in disbelief. It didn't go on the attack, and the snub didn't attack it, and the two sides seemed to be in a delicate balance. The cyan wind elemental surrounded the Wind Splitting Fox, rhythming uneasily with the swing of its tail, and the pair of pointed ears were also erected high, as if they were facing a great enemy, while the cold star was emitting a faint silver light around its body, and it stood there quietly, not even pulling out the sword on its back, seemingly loose, but giving people an unshakable feeling.

Suddenly, Snub Xing spoke: "I really didn't expect to see you again." ”

Hearing his words, Dai Wen and the others were immediately taken aback, but the Wind Splitting Fox did not react, still looking at the cold star vigilantly. It seemed to want to move forward, but it didn't dare to go forward, and hesitated.

Still with that indifferent look, Snub continued, "I know why you're here. ”

Sona couldn't help but be curious: "Do you know? Why?" The answer to this question was also what everyone else present wanted to know. It was a saint-level demonic beast, so it came to attack them so inexplicably, of course I wanted to know the reason.

"As I said, it's the trouble they got into. He glanced at Hagers and said coldly. "It is the only saint-level demonic beast in the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, and it should have been rushed all the way from the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range, and it has not been here until now. ”

"What did they do to let a saint-level demonic beast chase all the way here?"

Snub Star didn't speak, but walked to the carriage that he had protected before, stretched out his palm, and a faint silver smoothness appeared on his palm, and then, Snub Star easily broke open the cargo box on the carriage. Everyone looked and saw that the cargo box was full of monster furs, and on top of those furs, there was a little snow-white fox. Its body is curled up in a ball, and at first glance, it looks like a snow-white furball, which is extremely cute. The fur on its body is unusually smooth and has a beautiful sheen, which makes you want to stroke it when you see it. This cute little fox seems to be sleeping, its eyes closed, and only two thin lines are exposed, which looks extraordinarily peaceful. Even the way it looks when it's asleep is so cute that you can't help but want to take care of it and not let it get hurt in the slightest

When the Wind Splitter fox saw the little fox, he immediately let out an eager cry, and his eyes were full of worry, but the little fox still lay there as if he hadn't heard it, and slept quietly. Ignoring the Snub Star, the Wind Splitter Fox jumped in front of the little fox and came to the little fox, and the Snub Star did not stop it, so he let it pass like this. It put its head above the little fox and licked the little fox's head with its tongue, licking the little fox wet and full of motherhood.

When Dai Wen saw this scene, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that this little fox is its child, no wonder it will come." ”

"Hmm. Snub nodded, his confirmation of the Wind Splitter. At the beginning, Snub Xing had just come out of that place in the depths of the Tianling Mountain Range, and when he wanted to go out, he met this wind fox. At that time, this fox had just been promoted to the holy level, and he had a fight with the Snub Star, but the result was completely suppressed by the Snub Star, and there was no chance to fight back at all. At that time, the cold star did not kill it, but only injured it, and then left the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range. The little fox was supposed to be its child, presumably because it was wounded by itself, and while it was sleeping and recuperating, someone happened to enter its burrow, and then stole the little fox and finally sold it to the Cole Chamber of Commerce. The Cole Chamber of Commerce also knew what this little fox meant, which is why they were so eager to send it to the headquarters of Oran City. You must know that the young beasts of such high-level demonic beasts are extremely popular, and they can be sold for a sky-high price of millions of gold coins in Orlan City. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that Snub Star injured this Wind Splitting Fox first, this little fox would not have been captured, and there would have been no subsequent incidents, since it was his own reason, then it should be solved by himself, and Snub Star did not intend to stop this fox from taking away its child.

"You take it away," Snub Xing said lightly, "It should have been drugged, so it won't wake up, and it is estimated that it will wake up after a while." In exchange, though, I don't want you to keep killing. ”

At this time, a voice came: "No!" Everyone followed the voice, and it turned out to be the fat man of the Cole Chamber of Commerce. When the wind elemental exploded, he used a magic scroll to save his life. At this moment, when he saw that the little fox was about to be taken away by the Wind Splitting Fox, he became anxious. He knew the value of this little fox, he had already reported it to headquarters, and if he failed to bring this little fox to Oran City, then it was needless to say what kind of punishment he would face.

However, the Wind Splitter Fox ignored him, and in its eyes, there was only a cold star, and there was no shadow of anyone else at all. After the demonic beast reaches the heavenly level, it has wisdom, and the saint-level demonic beast, even if its intelligence is not much worse than that of humans, so it can understand the words of the snub star. It nodded, picked up the little fox, jumped up gently, and with a gust of wind, it was already surrounded by the wind elemental, and flew away from the sky with the little fox, gradually disappearing.

"What do you want to do!" Seeing the little fox being taken away, the fat man couldn't help but yell at the snub star: "You obviously have the ability, why don't you stop that fox!"

Snub Star was unmoved: "Why should I help you?"

"I hired you!" said the fat man angrily: "I hired you! Take my money, you have to obey my rules! You don't do your best to keep my goods, I can deduct at least half of your commission!"

"You're wrong," Devin said, his voice sounding cold, "He's not hired by you, how can you hire a saint-level master with just your little gold?" In other words, you are not qualified to ask him to help you keep the goods. ”

"But you don't either, is that what you did?"

"This mission is obviously beyond our ability" Dai Wen said coldly: "You deliberately concealed the danger of the mission, knowing that there might be such a danger as a saint-level demonic beast, but deliberately concealing it, if it weren't for the snub star, I'm afraid we would have turned into corpses long ago." So, you have no right to accuse us, because all this is because of your greed. ”

At this moment, a mercenary from the Frostwolf Mercenary Regiment walked over and whispered a few words in William's ear. After hearing these words, William turned around and said coldly: "Regarding what happened just now, my mercenaries have already recorded the images with the Shadow Stone, and when we arrive in Oran City, we will hand these images over to the mercenary union branch, and I believe they will deal with you." ”

Hearing William's words, the fat man's face instantly turned extremely pale. Although the Cole Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Orlan Empire, its manpower cannot be used to protect all the caravans, so it is particularly important to hire mercenaries. Although the Mercenary Guild generally turns a blind eye to the concealment of the mission, the serious misstatement of the mission danger level and the corroborating of the evidence as they did this time clearly exceeded the Mercenary Guild's tolerance limit. As long as the mercenary guild makes their actions public to all mercenaries and forbids the Cole Chamber of Commerce to issue missions, most of the caravans of the Cole Chamber of Commerce will be without shelter and will not be able to leave the city easily. Otherwise, in the absence of guards, it is easy to be robbed by thieves. As a result, the Kohl Chamber of Commerce could not support it at all, and could only wait for its dissolution.

Moreover, although the Cole Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Orlan Empire, and it is subordinate to the Cole family, one of the three major families in the Orlan Empire, the Mercenary Guild has transcended the country, it is a continent-wide organization, deep-rooted, and it is still the master of the City of Light, which is definitely something that the Cole family does not dare to offend. When it really comes to that time, the Cole family will definitely not hesitate to abandon the Cole Chamber of Commerce, and it is a big deal to support a Chamber of Commerce again, and he, the person who did this, will definitely be sacrificed.

Thinking of this, the fat man immediately changed to a very guilty look: "I'm really sorry, Captain Devon, Captain William, we had no way before, and now a lot of people have died on our side, but fortunately, your regiment has not suffered much loss, otherwise I would really be to blame." But since this has happened, and it has not caused you much loss, why don't we just expose this matter? I promise that we have absolutely no other hidden risks other than this incident, and I hope you can forgive us. ”

"Oh?" Dai Wen raised his eyebrows and said unkindly, "What you said is simple, if it weren't for the cold star, I'm afraid all of us would have turned into corpses by now, you actually think this is a thing that can be passed by saying the past?"

The fat man waved his hand again and again: "No, no, of course I didn't mean that." Of course, he would not be naïve to think that Devin and William would just give up, no matter how they said that they were almost killed by themselves, it was impossible for them to be without resentment. "I know that the two regiment leaders are very angry, and this incident is indeed our fault, and we will definitely show our sincerity. Life is not easy for all mercenary brothers, the reward for this mission is 5,000 gold coins, and we will add 5,000 gold coins, a total of 10,000 gold coins to express our apologies, I don't know what the two of you think?"

"Ten thousand gold coins?" William said coldly, "Are you willing to take out so much?" Although it seemed unimpressed, William's heart was actually very surprised. After being a mercenary for so many years, he is very clear about the temperament of these profit-oriented businessmen. If there is anything that merchants and mercenaries have in common, it is definitely the importance of gold coins, and the mercenaries will only pay more attention to gold coins. That's 10,000 gold coins, which is double the previous reward, enough for himself and Daven, the mercenaries of the mercenary group, to have a good rest for nearly half a year. Those businessmen like iron roosters are willing to come up with such a large sum of money? But since this is the case, then they can't let him go, and if they can extort a little bit, such a good opportunity will never come in the future.

The fat man said: "This is what we owe to all of you in the mercenary group, and you also know that we are businessmen, and we pay the most attention to credibility, and we will never be untrustworthy." This time we owe a lot to everyone, and this 10,000 gold coins should be regarded as the reparation given to everyone by our Kore Chamber of Commerce, and I hope everyone will laugh. ”

As for money, although he is only the president of a small branch of the Cole Chamber of Commerce, he will definitely not lack this money, after all, even if it is not for the sake of the reputation of the Cole Chamber of Commerce, he must also think about his own life, isn't it?

Dai Wen said coldly: "Saint-level demonic beast attack, such a dangerous level, is already an A-level mission, and the minimum reward for an A-level mission is 100,000 gold coins. This time we can almost be regarded as completing an A-class mission, are you just going to pay a tenth of the reward? Thomas, you are really a good calculation, no wonder there is a saying that no treachery is not a business. "Devin is more calm and intelligent than William, otherwise he would not be recognized by William just less than thirty years old. The fat man could see what was at stake, and of course he could see that it was impossible for the fat man to refuse their terms. If it was normal times, Davin would never do such a blackmailing thing, after all, this is no different from robbing while the fire is hot, and his personality does not allow him to do so. However, this time it was the fat man who hid it from them first, which almost led to the destruction of his and William's two mercenary groups, and with such a good opportunity, of course he had to extort the fat man fiercely, which was regarded as a psychological loss fee.

"100,000 ......" The fat man showed a helpless wry smile: "Captain Dai Wen is really a lion's big mouth, one mouth is 100,000." If the little fox was still there, the 100,000 would be absolutely fine, but the little fox didn't keep it. Now without this little fox, I alone do not have the power to mobilize such a large amount of money, it is better to have less, and ...... Thirty thousand, how about it? No matter how much money I have, I really can't get it. However, if there are any tasks in the future, I will definitely limit the hiring of your two mercenary groups, I don't know if this is good?" "Thirty thousand gold coins, this is already the limit of his ability to mobilize funds, if it is exceeded, there is a great possibility of being detected, once it is detected that he uses a large amount of funds, then his fate will be similar to death."

"Thirty thousand gold coins, it should be able to comfort the brothers of the mercenary group. Devin pondered for a moment and replied, "In this case, this matter is over, and we are still friends." I hope you don't do such things again, so as not to chill your friends. "He said 100,000 yuan before, which is undoubtedly a sky-high asking price, and he didn't expect the fat man to agree, and it is already very good to have this result. What's more, he doesn't want to push the fat man too much, after all, he and William still have to mix in Demo City, stay a line of people, and usually take care of each other when doing tasks.

"Of course, I promise never again. Seeing that Dai Wen agreed, the fat man was overjoyed, but he didn't show it: "The previous unpleasantness should not exist, we are still friends, and we have to rely on everyone in the mercenary group more along the way." "He's not wrong, the escort he brought out of Higers, there are only seven people left, and they are still heavily injured, completely devoid of combat effectiveness, after all, the remaining goods are also a lot of wealth. If there is no guard from Devin and others, he will definitely be swallowed by thieves on the road, and if this is the case, the fat man will really want to cry without tears.

Devin looked at William and saw that he had no objection, so he nodded: "Leave it to us." ”

With that, he looked at the snub star. While he and the fat man were negotiating, Snub Xingjing sat cross-legged on the ground and continued to cultivate. Devin thought for a moment and walked over, with William following behind. As they walked over, Snub opened his eyes and asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

"You should know what I talked to Thomas before" Because the strength of the Snub Star was too high, Devin used an honorific: "If it weren't for your help in this matter, I'm afraid we would really be doomed here." We only take the 5,000 gold coins originally promised by the Cole Chamber of Commerce, and the remaining 25,000 gold coins, we hope you can accept them. ”

"Oh, got it. Snub Xing simply responded, then closed his eyes again and continued his cultivation.

Devin hesitated for a moment, and then ignored William's stunned expression next to him, and said solemnly: "Brother Snub Star, on behalf of all of our two mercenary groups, I thank you for saving our lives, and if you have any orders in the future, we will never give up." ”

William knows that Devin is a very committed person, as long as he promises something, he will definitely do it, which is one of the reasons why William is willing to trust Devin. However, it was the first time since he had known Devin that he had heard Devin swear such a heavy oath.

However, it was as if he hadn't heard it, and he didn't even open his eyes. Dai Wen felt a little bitter in his heart, I am afraid that this bit of his strength is not taken seriously by others at all. He bowed to the snub star, and then went to appease the mercenaries. And those mercenaries, after this attack, under the arrangement of Davin, gradually calmed down, only as if it was a small accident, and began to rest again. However, each of them knew that this experience would remain in their minds forever, after all, they would probably never have the opportunity to meet saint-level powerhouses and demonic beasts again in the future.

The night was still silent, obscuring everything that had happened, except for the stars in the sky. In the camp, the mercenaries rested again, leaning on each other to find warmth in the lonely night.

The snub suddenly looked up at the stars in the night sky. They hung high in the darkness of the night, scattered in all directions, emitting a cold silver glow, overlooking the whole land. At this moment, the cold star suddenly had a strange feeling, as if between the entire heaven and earth, only he and the shining stars were left looking at each other. Although their light did not have the slightest temperature, the cold star knew that they had always been here and accompanied everyone on the Demon Martial Continent.
