"Actually, I still have a little question, neither you nor the young dragon should need mercenary protection, why do you still need to recruit mercenaries?" The group had unconsciously ridden away for nearly an hour, although Zhou Yu's colleagues sometimes talked and laughed, but he never participated, just kept staring at Ke Zhou and Beibei who were walking at the front of the team.

As soon as he asked this question, it was Ke Zhou's turn to make a difficulty, and he really didn't know how to answer Zhou Yu's question. Can you still say that I'm actually a weak chicken at all? In fact, this young dragon is actually not strong at all, and I haven't seen the momentum just now? Although the other party has a bit of a post, but I hired a purple mercenary at a price that the blue mercenary can't do, so this answer will inevitably cause some estrangement.

So how to answer is better, although it has been generally determined that this group of people is not hostile to themselves and Beibei, but it is better to pay a little attention. Thinking of this, Ke Zhou simply made an answer that Zhou Yu thought about for himself: "Then as a purple mercenary, why are you willing to accept my commission at the price of a blue mercenary?"

After Zhou Yu heard this, he quickly fell into silence and didn't continue to say anything, probably thinking about it deeply? Ke Zhou didn't know, but he avoided this embarrassing question, and continued to walk forward with everyone. According to the map, although the road to Shanhe City is not too far, it is almost always small roads and mountain roads. In order to avoid attracting attention, we are not prepared to look for flying mounts.

"But then again, I seem to have heard that you all have the same surname, are you from the same family?" Ke Zhou asked the four people who followed behind him while hugging Beibei. Since encountering the "pursuer", this little young dragon seems to have become more and more attached to Ke Zhou, even holding his arm when walking on the road, and rarely talking to anyone outside of him.

After Zhou Yu heard it, he said, "Yes, we are all members of the Zhou family. I am Zhou Yu, I came out of the Zhou family to practice, and after the past few months, I will go to the Hatan Advanced Academy in the middle of the earthquake to study. ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the girl behind him, the girl who stood up in the mercenary association with a short knife. Ke Zhou had a pretty good impression of her, after all, in that environment, if she hadn't made a move, Ke Zhou wouldn't have known how to end up. "This is Zhou Ting, my sister, a little younger than me. But we are all the same, we all come out to experience, and then go to Hatan High Academy to study. ”

The woman known as Zhou Ting used a mask to protect her face, and she didn't look like she wanted others to see it, but just from her eyes, she could see that her appearance was definitely not ordinary. She bowed her head slightly, expressing her respect for Zhou Yu and Ke Zhou.

"This is Zhou Lugen, whose original name is Tedrugen Brivance, but he came to the Zhou family for some reason, so he followed the surname of the Zhou family, and now he is an entourage magician who follows us, although he is a low-level magician, but the knowledge and magic he has are still very large. Under Zhou Yu's instructions, the magician took off the hat on his cloak, bowed slightly to Ke Zhou, and then put on his hat again.

The last one is a strong man, whether it is more than two meters tall or thick in size, he gives people a sense of calmness. Zhou Yu's introduction to him also confirms this: "Zhou Xiong, is he my bodyguard, as his name suggests, he is called Xiong Man in the family, and he himself likes this setting, and when he fights, he will always shout 'The Power of Nature!' or something very funny like that." After Zhou's introduction, he turned his head to look at Ke Zhou and Beibei "Walking in the forest, you usually encounter a lot of magical beasts, but because of this Miss Dragon Clan, any creature that is a little stronger will instinctively feel the dangerous aura on Miss Dragon Clan's body and will not approach." Even if it is weaker, it will be afraid of our numbers, and we will not dare to approach, but we still have to pay attention to something. ”

The speed of the team is not fast, after all, in this kind of path, it is impossible for horses to run at high speed, and if you walk, in fact, the gap between the horse and the person is not too big. Not far away, you can see several giant tooth-like mountains standing there, although they are uneven, they are scattered, giving people a very atmospheric feeling. And next to the mountain, you can also see some buildings built against the mountain, and there are many smoke rising from the fire.

"Smoke? no, what's going on?"

Zhou Yu was the first to react, and from a distance, it really looked like an ordinary person was cooking or doing something, and the smoke rose from the fire. But when they got closer, they found that the amount of smoke was not right at all, and it could even be said to be a very dangerous amount of smoke, just like burning a house.

"Sir has handed it over to you, I'll take a look!" He suddenly stood on the horse, using the horse's back as a borrower, kicked violently, and jumped onto the tree, and then, the cycle repeated, it turned out to be like a light skill in a martial arts novel, advancing through the branches, submerging into the jungle, and heading towards the village not far away.

Zhou Ting didn't seem to have any intention of staying, and when Zhou Yu jumped out on his front foot, he was already following closely, after all, Ke Zhou could also feel that this person had a strong sense of justice, if something really happened to the village over there, he should go over so worriedly.

Ke Zhou turned his head to look at the remaining two people, they obviously didn't plan to follow. The magician lowered the brim of his hat slightly, bowed his head, and bowed, as if apologizing to Ke Zhou. And the bear-like man scratched his head, "I'm sorry, sir, both the young master and Miss Ting are a little sensitive to this kind of thing. If there is no problem, it should be solved soon and the team will return, let's move on, I guess they will follow after a while. ”

These two people didn't seem to care much about what Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting's brothers and sisters were doing, but they were quite confident in their strength, and they also said that they would take the first step and wait for them to catch up.

Something must have happened in the village over there, so the two of them would rush over in a hurry. It just so happened that his understanding of the world was still very vague, and if he was accompanied by these few people who could protect his own safety, it would be a good opportunity to safely and quickly improve his understanding of the world.

"Let's go and see what's going on over there, and if those two are in trouble, we can help. ”

Ke Zhou said, turning his head to look at the two people, asking for their opinions. And what was given back to Ke Zhou was a little surprised, after all, for ordinary caravans or other teams, in the process of hiring mercenaries, when encountering these things, as long as they are not determined, very serious malignant events, they will not take the initiative to take care of them.

They were surprised and surprised, but they still nodded, and then, Zhou Xiong opened the way, and led a few horses and two dragons around the place where the smoke rose.

The smoke got closer and closer, and I gradually felt how serious the smoke really was. It looked as if the whole village was burning, and the temperature around him was gradually rising, and Ke Zhou felt like he was approaching an oven. Beibei in his arms didn't know why he trembled slightly, and shrank into Ke Zhou's arms, which also made him feel some strange pressure.

Pushing aside the trees, you can see a flat land that is not very wide, and in the very center of the flat land is a group of buildings. It's just that at this moment, these buildings are burning, and Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting don't know where they went, but at least they are not around this complex.

Zhou Lugen took out a long staff and sang something loudly. Immediately afterward, a small dark cloud appeared in the sky, hanging over the village, and heavy rain poured down, preventing the fire from growing further, and at the same time washing away the ruins.

"Can you feel the young master?"

"Don't make noise, I'm detecting!"

A large number of incantations had appeared around Zhou Lugen at some point, they were beating in an orderly manner, and there were many things that could not be seen as if they were pouring into his mind, but he just closed his eyes and read this information seriously.

"No, nothing...... In the whole village, next to the village, there was not a sign of any living creatures. ”
