It took two days to travel from Baihe Village to the northern part of the Westwood Forest, and during these two days, Fraser learned a little about this joint team of two mercenary groups. Geoff is the head of the Gale Force, and he is also the leader of the entire team, and the Blizzard Regiment also has its own head, his name is Terrance, and he is considered the vice leader of the team, and it seems that he is quite obedient to Geoff. The team set out from Duluth all the way here, and it is said that they were commissioned by a mysterious person to investigate the mercenary tomb in the Westwood Forest, of course, as usual, they did not know the true identity of the client.

Two days later, the group arrived in the northern part of the Ximu Forest, and from a distance, the entire forest was endless, and countless demons and ghouls from the Dark Tide War crossed the Ximu Forest to the Black Swamp, and the small villages in this area disappeared completely, and until now they have not recovered much, and there is no sign of human settlement.

The combined team set up camp in a grove a few hundred yards from the edge of the forest, and rumors of flesh beasts in the Westwood Forest kept them from trespassing into the forest unprepared. Although none of the hunters who came here to hunt saw any more traces of the flesh beasts, and people said that they were wiped out along with the dark tide, the mercenaries still did not dare to relax their carelessness, after all, it was impossible to escape from these flesh monsters once they encountered them.

Fraser leaned against the trunk of the tree and watched the mercenaries busy, a sense of déjà vu welled up in his heart, and before he could sigh, Barney, who was doing a good thing, jumped over. "Hey, Frazier, have you heard the rumors of this forest? It is said that there was a flesh beast inside, a monster that could swallow an entire person in one bite, and the person who was swallowed didn't even have time to scream, and then only the bones were spit out. ”

Lyria was tidying up the tent on the side, and when she heard Barney say this, a sour smell spread from her stomach to her mouth, and she almost didn't vomit, she pushed Barney away and said viciously, "If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful to throw you alone in the forest!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, there have been Tempe's soldiers who have been eaten like this, and you don't believe it, ask Osric. Barney said, shouting to one of the mercenaries in the distance, "Osric, come down and tell Lyria about the flesh beast's cannibalism." ”

Osric ran over and said with a serious face, "I have a friend who is a soldier of the Tempe Border Guard, and he told me that their regiment once sent a small team to the Westwood Forest to look for something, where they were attacked by flesh beasts, only one escaped, everyone else was eaten, and nothing was left. ”

Barney blinked. "Didn't you say there were still bones? ”

"Oh, the bones are still there, I forgot. Osric scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "And he said that he was able to escape when he met a female archmage to save him, and he also said that the female mage was very beautiful, and I don't know if we can meet a beautiful female mage this time. ”

"Don't dream!" Lyria pushed Osric away again, shaking her head and saying to Fraser, "You see these two people don't have a sense of crisis at all, and they are still talking nonsense at this time, how can there be any flesh and blood beasts, but those resurrected mercenaries are indeed a big problem." ”

Fraser said with a blank face, "The flesh beast did exist, it was in the Ximu Forest, I hope it is no longer there." ”

"Really?" Lyria's eyes widened in surprise. "You have seen, I don't believe it, you're not alarmist. ”

"I'm never alarmist. Fraser looked at Lyria's eyes like calm water.

Lyria dodged Fraser's gaze and caught a glimpse of his sword. "Why did your sword wrap cloth around the junction of the hilt and the blade, and what was there?"

"A sign. Fraser replied.

"What signs?" asked Lyria curiously, reaching for the hilt of her sword, Fraser dodged on one side, Lyria looked up at Fraser, but he didn't answer, and after waiting for a few seconds, Lyria stepped back and suddenly drew her sword and pointed it at Fraser. "I ask to duel with you, and if I win you will tell me the secret of this sword. ”

The people around were attracted by Lyria's move, and Barney hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "Alright Lyria, you're definitely no match for Fraser, he can knock you away with a single lift of his hand. ”

"Shut up!" Lyria said fiercely, and Barney shrank back.

Fraser gave Lyria a nonchalant. "I'm not interested. ”

"You coward!" Lyria was enraged by Fraser's attitude. "You don't even have the guts to duel with me, you don't have the right to stay here!"

"You can't decide that. Fraser smiled. "With one more helper, you'll have a better chance of surviving in the forest. ”

"What did you say?" Lyria glared at Fraser in confusion.

At this time, Geoff stepped forward and stood between the two. "Don't make a fuss, everyone is working, you're still chatting here, help out!"

Lyria glared at Fraser and walked away reluctantly, Fraser didn't say anything more, but walked outside the woods, silently staring at the forest in the distance.

"Have you ever encountered a flesh beast?" Geoff didn't know when to stand aside.

"Yes. "If you encounter those monsters in the forest, your only chance is to run away or you'll be left with no bones." ”

"Is it really that terrible? is it more terrible than the dark tide?" said Geoff disappreciatively, "even in the face of the dark tide, we will not be afraid, of course panic is inevitable." ”

"If you saw those monsters with your own eyes, you wouldn't ask that. Fraser looked at Geoff. "As soon as I notice any signs of them, I will tell you at once, and all you have to do is take your men out of the forest immediately, not later. ”

"What about you?"

"I'm going to investigate the cemetery where my deceased is buried. ”

Geoff shrugged. "It seems that you are also a person with a story, and the advice of people with stories is generally useful. ”

Fraser turned his head and continued to look at the Westwood Forest. "You should not accept the commission of an unknown person, and the mercenaries buried in the forest died because of this. ”

"Since they accepted such a commission at the time, then you should be able to understand why we accepted it this time. Geoff said disapprerovingly, "If mercenaries could have so many options, then the mortality rate would not be so high, of course, if that were the case, mercenaries would not be able to make so much money." ”

"You're right, there are things that always need to be done, even if you know it's a dead end. Fraser turned and walked towards a fire stacked with food. "Mercenaries are such a group of people. ”
