Volume II: Chapter 18: Temptation
There are more than a dozen or nearly twenty mercenary groups in Baishiling, and the number of people in each mercenary group varies, some are more and some are less, and they are not fixed.
Among the active mercenaries in the Baishiling generation, there are five high-level martial artists, including Wu Yuanshan, which is why he still has such appeal twenty years after he left.
When mercenaries perform escort tasks, they are all in squads, and each squad will deploy mercenaries from the mercenary group they are in according to the specific situation.
And the personnel of the mercenary group are not fixed, there will be mercenaries killed or left at any time, and new people will join.
However, no matter what the situation is, a mercenary with a good reputation and team spirit is the target of various mercenary groups.
Therefore, as long as they are mercenaries with some qualifications, and they still want to mix in the Baishiling generation, they all cherish their reputation very much, and they will not easily do things that murder passers-by or betray the group.
After talking about the mercenaries, let's talk about the guests.
Passers-by who come from Middle-earth or South-Continent to cross the Cursed Land can be described as a three-class and a three-class person—the notorious, the traitorous, the explorer, and the ambitious. Most of these people's martial arts cultivation is not high, they are basically only at the level of the samurai realm, and some even have no martial arts foundation.
It is not uncommon for a true martial arts powerhouse to travel through the cursed land alone.
If those powerful major sect families have those who have crossed the cursed land, they can pass through by relying only on the strength of the family or the familiar mercenary army, and there is no need to come to this White Stone Ridge to settle down.
When Ye Qing was listening to the explanation of the deputy in the group, others were also guessing Ye Qing's identity. Obviously, there were few children of such a young age among the passers-by in Baishiling, she was only fifteen years old, sixteen at most!
Escorting such a little girl, it is estimated that there will be no bumps at all, and the first order of the opening of the new group seems to be difficult.
In the end, Wu Yuanshan carefully arranged everyone's position and responsibilities in the escort team, and Ye Qing nodded again and again when he heard it, this is a shrewd and capable big guy.
"Ye Daoyou, we are all ready to go at any time. Wu Yuanshan said.
"Everyone, let's leave in three days. Ye Qing said.
I don't know why, Ye Qing faintly felt that something was wrong, as if he hadn't been able to have a deeper understanding of this Baishi Ridge, or maybe he wasn't ready for anything. In the end, she left three days to prepare herself in more detail.
"Well, we'll meet here in the morning in the next three days, and we'll be ready for everything then. Wu Yuanshan said solemnly.
Refusing Wu Yuanshan's send-off, Ye Qing walked alone in the outer area of Baishi Ridge, where most of the mercenaries were at the beginning of the martial arts realm like her. However, looking at the sharpness in their eyes, you can know that these are people who have experienced life and death, and their single-round combat effectiveness is probably not under Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry to return to the forbidden area, she found that these mercenaries would just look at her curiously after seeing her, and there was no hostility, and even a few female mercenaries came forward to ask her if she was lost with her family, so she was relieved to go shopping.
Ye Qing walked to an area where the mercenaries came and went, and it was quite lively, and in a short time, Ye Qing saw a group of mercenaries set off, and each of these mercenaries looked brave and good at fighting, making it difficult to identify which one of them was a passerby.
It's a pity that his appearance is too obvious, and this method of hiding from the world and the sea can't be used, Ye Qing was slightly disappointed.
After Ye Qing saw this mercenary group leave, his eyes were attracted by a rather exquisitely built hut, although this house was built in a low-key manner, but it secretly fit the way of the five elements, and appeared in this martial realm, which was really a little out of place. However, I'm afraid there are few who can understand it.
At this time, a person walked out of the room, with extraordinary momentum, and it turned out to be a high-level martial artist realm! That fine hard armor, at first glance, he was the leader of a mercenary group.
Ye Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't know who this person was, and it seemed that his strength was much stronger than Wu Yuanshan.
Looking at this person carefully, the sword eyebrows are cold, and his face is cold, he is not a good person.
Before Ye Qing's gaze could be withdrawn, this person also discovered Ye Qing. He froze between his eyebrows, his hand moved slightly, and a hidden weapon attacked Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was shocked, didn't he say that mercenaries can't do anything with passers-by, how could this person come up and target himself, Ye Qing hurriedly mobilized spiritual power. However, when this secret weapon came to him, Ye Qing could see that this person seemed to be tempting.
Ye Qing's spiritual power was stunned, as if he had failed to stop this secret weapon, and let it attack his face.
"Ding", and then the needle-like hidden weapon fell to the ground with a "tick".
When the surrounding mercenaries saw the hidden weapon that fell to the ground, they realized that in an instant, Boss Qin actually made a move on this little monk, and they became alert for a while.
Boss Qin has always been very supportive of the order of Baishiling, why didn't he care about it at all at this time?
What is the origin of this little monk, it seems that the defense is too slow, so she was hit by this hidden weapon, but this hidden weapon failed to hurt her at all, why is this? Is it the mercy of Boss Qin's men? Or is this little monk hidden deeply?
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows, he had not been deceived by Ye Qing's tricks, it was another hidden weapon, he had added a lot of strength to the secret weapon at this time, and it should not be able to be resolved by relying on the Taoism of martial arts alone.
Ye Qing couldn't dodge, and condensed a ball of green with one hand, blocking the speeding hidden weapon, which seemed to have fallen into the cotton, and suddenly lost its strength and fell to the ground again.
Qin Mu seemed to be a little surprised, and said, "Sorry, it's abrupt," and then turned to leave, leaving Ye Qing, who was a little confused.
The whispers around let Ye Qing know that the person who tried himself was Qin Mu, who was known as Boss Qin.
Qin Mu doesn't seem to be a pure martial cultivator, Ye Qing recalled the moment of the fight just now in his heart, this is probably also a person full of secrets. Fortunately, he was not hostile to himself, and it seemed that he just wanted to confirm his spiritual identity.
I can't figure it out, Ye Qing doesn't bother to think about it, and if he goes to the forbidden area to investigate, maybe there will be an answer.
The magic weapon stored in the shop in the forbidden martial arts area last night has been sold, and only a few mid-level spirit stones have been obtained, if you fight against the master, I am afraid that a few moves will be consumed, and the gap in the spirit stones is still huge.
Ye Qing thought about it, and finally decided not to sell the pills he had refined for martial cultivation here, and if he wanted to sell them, he would have to wait until after crossing the Cursed Land.
"Miss Ye, what do you think? A familiar voice came into Ye Qing's ears.
It's Scar, if he is dormant and doesn't have killing intent, it will be really difficult to find him unless he uses the Thousand Eye Mirror.
Ye Qing carefully sensed the breath of Scar, and asked quietly, "What advice does Big Brother Scar have?"
Scar said, "Miss Ye, take a step to speak." ”
Led by Scar, the two came to an inconspicuous small teahouse.
This small teahouse seems to be one of the gathering places of a certain mercenary group, when Scar enters the store, most of the mercenaries in the store get up and stand silently at the table, until Scar also sits down, and then sits down again, to show respect for Scar, it can be seen that Scar has a lot of prestige among these mercenaries.
In the corner, Scar said: "First of all, Boss Qin asked me to apologize to you on his behalf, and secondly, hehe, the main thing is to compete with that Wu Yuanshan, our mercenary group is now the largest mercenary group in the Baishiling area, Miss Ye is more suitable for us!"
