The eastern sky had turned a heavy blue-gray, like a curtain on the stage, but I didn't know who would perform on this stage. The blue-gray color slowly extended to the west, like a large mouth, gradually engulfing that glimmer of light. While the light in the sky was gradually swallowed up by the darkness, the mercenaries on the ground had already set up their camp and were preparing to rest. It's summer, and the days are long and the nights are short, otherwise the mercenaries wouldn't have set up camp so early to rest. Sona has done what she has to do, and all she needs to do is rest. Originally, she was supposed to take turns keeping vigil with Snub Star, and a strong person had to be awake at night no matter what, but Snub Star himself should have set a vigil for the whole night. Sona originally wanted to spend half of the time with Snub Star, but when she saw that Snub Star didn't sleep all night seemed to have no effect, Sona gave him this task, but she remained vigilant and only rested for half the night, and the other half of the night was spent meditating in her tent while paying attention to her surroundings. She didn't say anything when she saw the cold star, but just stared blankly at the west, and asked a little curiously, "Why do you have to watch the sun set every day? ”

Snub Xing said lightly: "There is a person who is very important to me, she likes to watch the sunset the most, every time I see the sunset, I think of her and her wishes." When he said this, Snub Star's voice was no longer as cold as usual, but with a strange feeling that could not be explained.

Sona looked at the unusually appearance of the snub star, and pouted: "How old are you, you just look like you're old." ”

Snub looked at the western sky, where the last rays of light had also disappeared, and the sky had completely darkened. He said to Sona, "Rest and go, it's getting dark, and I'll keep vigil." ”

Sona was curious: "You don't sleep every night, aren't you tired?"

Snub ignored her, just closed his eyes and sat down. Seeing the appearance of the cold star, Sona snorted dissatisfiedly: "Don't have an accident with your eyes closed, I'll go to sleep." With that, he walked to his tent.

Gradually, the makeshift camp set up by the mercenaries fell silent, the bonfire burning silently and occasionally jumping, as if to share their dreams with the sleeping mercenaries. With the exception of a small group of mercenaries who were keeping vigil, no one else was seen in the entire camp. The starry sky is constantly twinkling, and if you look closely, you can see that the body of the cold star is emitting a faint silver light, echoing the light of the stars.

Suddenly, Snub Star opened his eyes, and the dazzling starlight flickered in his silver eyes, and he stood up. This range of miles was completely enveloped by his spiritual power, so everything in this area could be perceived by him. At this moment, he clearly sensed that the guy was rushing to arrive. He shouted, "Alert! Everyone's on alert!"

The night was dark and silent, and the sound of the snub spread far away, and he saw Sona emerge from her tent. Sona saw him and asked aloud, "What's the situation?"

Snub Star replied, "There will be an enemy coming!Hurry up to the middle, the others stay where they are!" Even at this time, his voice was calm and not the slightest panic.

Sona was obviously stunned: "Why?" Generally speaking, the more people, the greater the strength, and concentration is the best way to deal with enemy attacks, otherwise it is easy to be broken by the enemy individually, resulting in heavy casualties.

Snub Xing just said coldly: "It's too late to explain, if you want to reduce the loss, do what I say." Immediately, he didn't pay attention to what Sona would do, and his body moved, and he was already flying towards the center of the convoy. Sona couldn't help it, glared fiercely at the back of the snub star, and ordered the mercenaries around her: "Everyone, defend in place, don't act privately without an order, I'll go over and take a look." Then, on tiptoe, he chased after the back of the snub star.

The speed of the snub star was extremely fast, and at this time, the mercenaries had been awakened by his warning, and there was an uproar everywhere. Snub Xing knew that in a minute at most, that guy would come here, and the difference between these mercenaries and that guy's cultivation was too great, even if he went, it would be useless.

When Snub Star arrived in the center of the convoy, he saw Higgs and the fat man from the Cole Chamber of Commerce standing next to a carriage with a vigilant look, surrounded by twenty people dressed in black, five of whom were eighth-level cultivators, and the rest were seventh-level cultivators. Before, these black-clothed people were scattered in the middle of the entire convoy, and Snub Star was not interested in seeing what kind of cultivation they were. Although the strength of the Cole Chamber of Commerce is not weak, in the eyes of the snub star, it is not much different from nothing. When Hagus saw Snub Star coming, he stepped forward and stood in front of the fat man, obviously guarding against Snub Star. At the same time, Higers was secretly frightened, when he was waiting for the Snub Star before, he just heard Devin say that the Snub Star was a person with good strength, so he didn't care, but when he saw the speed of the Snub Star, he knew that the Snub Star was definitely stronger than himself, and this speed alone was far beyond his own. After Hagus and the fat man said a word, the fat man's face changed slightly, and he asked nervously: "Brother Snub Star, isn't there an enemy attack, why did you come over?"

Snub ignored him, and just said coldly to the other mercenaries here, "If you don't want to die, get out of this carriage and stay away." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding mercenaries were stunned, what did this mean? Although they knew about the existence of the Cold Star, they did not know the strength level of the Cold Star, so they could not understand the words of the Cold Star at all. What's more, mercenaries can't retreat at will when doing tasks, otherwise the employer can reduce the commission according to the situation, and in serious cases, they can even directly deprive the commission.

Listening to Snub Xing's words, the fat man's face suddenly became ugly: "What do you mean? You are hired by me at my expense, how can you escape when you encounter danger? Evade the duties of a mercenary, I will reduce your commission when the task is completed." What's more, you are not a member of these two mercenary groups and are not qualified to order them. "This is also one of the reasons why the mercenaries are hesitant, although the leaders of the two mercenary groups seem to attach great importance to the snub star, but after all, they don't belong to their mercenary group, just an outsider. It is difficult to get them to follow the advice of an outsider.

Just then, Sona arrived. Snub Star said to her, "Let these mercenaries spread out as far away as possible." ”

"What?" Sona was stunned, trying to ask why. But all she saw was the cold expression of the snub star, and after a few days of getting along with the snub star, Sona knew that he would not explain it again. gritted his teeth, and finally chose to believe in the cold star. "Everyone, do as he says, and immediately disperse to both sides as fast as they can. The surrounding mercenaries heard Sona speak, and immediately did as she said, whether it was the mercenaries of the Skyfire Mercenary Group or the mercenaries of the Frostwolf Mercenary Group, they all listened to her orders at this moment. Obviously, the two mercenary groups have cooperated, otherwise in the absence of the leaders of both sides, the frostwolf mercenary group probably would not obey Sona's orders.

Seeing this scene, the fat man's face became even more ugly, and he happened to see Devin and William who had arrived. So, he said to the two: "Two regimental commanders, it is not good for you to do this, escape from danger, and deduct half of the commission for knowledge." ”

Devon's brow furrowed, and he asked Sona, "What's going on?"

Snub Star took over: "I asked her to do this." ”

William said dissatisfiedly: "The most important thing for us mercenaries is credibility, since we have accepted the commission, there is no reason to escape from danger, otherwise we will only be spurned." You do this, it's not good, it's just going to get us in trouble. ”

As soon as William finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in the air, and the huge sense of oppression made everyone except Snub Xing's faces change. They were three huge blades of light, emitting a dazzling cyan light throughout, and just listening to the sound of breaking through the air could imagine its great power. That's wind blade magic, although the wind blade is only a rudimentary wind magic, but depending on the amount of condensed wind elements and the user's control, its power can reach the level of high-level magic. And these three wind blades, their level has already reached level eight! Because magic needs time to chant to gather elements, generally speaking, under the same level, the power of magic is one level higher than the power of Douqi, and the power of the eighth-level wind blade is completely comparable to the full force of a ninth-level martial artist.

In an emergency, Higgs stepped forward and waved the long knife in his hand, and the blue fighting spirit instantly filled the entire long knife. He let out a loud shout, and with that said, he met one of the wind blades with the long knife that glowed blue in his hand. William drew the great sword on his back and also faced a wind blade. His body also glowed with blue light, but it was slightly different from the color of Higers's fighting spirit, and in addition, as his sword slashed out, a cold feeling emanated from his sword. On the other side, Devin also made the same move, but in his hand was an unusually large heavy sword, and the earthy yellow light spread all over it, giving people an extraordinarily thick feeling. In this way, the three of them faced these three wind blades. The moment the wind blades collided with the weapons in their hands, a huge explosion was heard, causing the earth to shake for a moment. The dazzling light burst out, and the powerful energy aftermath caused everyone below the ninth level to take a step back.

The three wind blades disappeared in this collision, and of the three people who collided with the wind blades, Hagus and Devin both took two steps back, while William took three steps back, and the arms of all three were numb. In fact, in terms of strength, Dai Wen is still worse than William, but Dai Wen is practicing earth fighting qi and has strong defense, so although Dai Wen is only in the middle of the ninth level, his light wheel defense is stronger than Dai Wen. And although William and Hagers are both in the late ninth level, Higers's cultivation is still much stronger than William, so William has retreated more than Devin and Hagers.

Just as the three of Davin were breathing a sigh of relief to block the opponent's first attack, the piercing wind came again. When the three of them saw this attack, they couldn't help but gasp, and their faces changed greatly, because this time there were ten wind blades, and the power was not only not weakened, but also much stronger, and it was already close to the power of ninth-level magic.

You must know that the three of Daven are only level nine, and the magic of level nine is enough to severely damage or even kill them in an instant. The first time was three eighth-level wind blade magic, and they could still convince themselves that it was the result of the enemy's long-term preparation, and it could be that there were several eighth-level magicians, and they could completely handle it. But this attack, it completely shattered the luck in their hearts, not to mention whether they can take it or not, judging from this attack, the first attack is clearly the result of the enemy not having time to prepare, and the next attack is likely to be directly a ninth-level magic. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on their backs, what kind of enemy could do this?

Ten cyan light blades roared with terrifying might, as if even the air itself was about to be divided, in the face of such a terrifying attack, including Sona, the four people who had reached the ninth level could only face the four wind blades in it, as for the remaining six wind blades, it was not something they could manage.

Hearing the loud noises one after another, the four ninth-level masters were shocked and retreated, and the weakest Sona was even slashed by the wind blade and vomited blood and flew out, obviously having been hit hard. As for the other three, their arms trembled uncontrollably, and they vomited blood from their mouths, and the injuries they suffered were also not light. As for the others who had not reached the ninth level, it was even more miserable, even the four ninth-level masters were in this miserable situation, obviously, the power of the remaining six wind blades was not something they could resist at all. The twenty men managed to barely block two of the wind blades despite their best efforts, and the remaining four struck them between them without reservation.

Under the four realms of eighth-level magic, these twenty people were instantly hit by the explosive wind element, thirteen of them were cut in half, and they were killed on the spot in an instant, and the other seven people were also severely traumatized, covered with large and small wounds, and obviously had no ability to fight.

Devon and William were shocked when they saw this tragic situation, and at the same time secretly congratulated Sona for listening to Snub Star's words before, so that all the mercenaries immediately retreated, so they didn't suffer much loss. Otherwise, this blow alone would be enough to wipe out half of the elite of their mercenary group. And now, because the mercenaries obeyed Sona's orders and dispersed in time, the casualties were not small, and the only ones who suffered heavy losses were the twenty guards of the Nakol Chamber of Commerce.

The aftermath of the wind element quickly spread, forming a miniature hurricane that blew the surrounding carriages apart completely. In this miniature hurricane, the goods in the broken carriage were rolled up one after another, and it turned out to be a large number of different grades of magic cores and various colors of monster fur, bones and other materials, these valuable things were swept into the hurricane, and then thrown out by the hurricane, scattered everywhere.

When these ten wind blades attacked, Snub Star didn't help Devin and them resist, but gently put his hand on the carriage he had explored before, and a faint silver light emanated from him, covering the carriage. When the aftermath of the wind elemental spread, the furious wind elemental actually seemed to have eyes, and directly bypassed him and the carriage, not causing the slightest damage to the snub star and the carriage at all.

At this moment, everyone could finally see the sender of the attack. In the dark night sky, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, a figure appeared flying at high speed. It was a huge fox, three meters tall and about five meters long, covered in silky snow-white hair, which looked extremely gorgeous in the black night sky. Its front paws shone with a black metallic sheen, and at a time like this, absolutely no one would doubt its sharpness. This giant white fox was surrounded by the cyan wind elemental, and under the support of the wind elemental, it suspended in the air in a haughty posture, coldly looking at the crowd below with heavy casualties.

Almost the moment he saw it, the name popped into Devon's mind. The Wind Splitter Fox is a powerful wind-type demonic beast, and when it reaches adulthood, its strength will at least reach the holy level. And judging from the powerful sense of oppression emanating from this Wind Splitting Fox and the previous two attacks, it must have reached the level of the Heaven Level, and only when it reaches the Heaven Level can it instantly send Level 8 magic. And judging from the strength of the wind blade that this demonic beast sent out before, even if it is a saint-level, it is not impossible. At this moment, Devon's heart was full of despair, he never thought that it was such a powerful demonic beast that attacked them.

Without the slightest hesitation, Devin immediately made a decision, shouting at the mercenaries on the periphery: "Everyone, disperse and flee immediately, quickly! leave me alone!"

Devin knew very well that the strength of this Wind Splitting Fox was definitely not something that his group could resist, so he could only let these mercenaries who followed him escape first. Because of their own wrong decision, they mistakenly took on this task, which brought them such danger, and since it was their own mistake, they should bear it themselves. Sacrificing oneself to buy them a little time to escape for their lives is probably the only thing he can do right now.

When he started to be a mercenary, Devin knew that most mercenaries would die in a mission that he didn't know, so dying in a mission was not terrible for mercenaries, but an honor, just like a soldier died on the battlefield, this is where these people end. Therefore, at the moment when he decided to stay, he did not have the slightest regret in his heart, only the guilt for Sona. He and Sona had no time to escape, so they had to stay here together and face the terrifying beast.

Devon's shout seemed to catch the attention of the Wind Splitter Fox, and it let out an astonishing long howl, and with the wind elemental around it, it pounced at a terrifying speed. The bodies of the demonic beasts were already powerful, which made them able to compete with martial artists of the same level just by virtue of the strength of their physical bodies, and the speed of the wind-type demonic beasts was even more terrifying, and almost instantly, the Wind Splitting Fox was in front of Dai Wen. Before it could pounce, Devin felt a pain in his body, as if it was about to be torn apart by the powerful wind it had brought up. At this moment, Devon finally knew that this Wind Splitting Fox had probably reached the Holy Level, otherwise it would not have such terrifying strength. After knowing this, he couldn't have the slightest idea of resisting in his heart, after all, the gap between the ninth level and the holy level was too big. Therefore, Devin just closed his eyes and waited quietly for death to come. Images flashed before his eyes, and finally, it was fixed on one picture, which was Sona's smiling face. He muttered to himself: I'm sorry, Sona.
