"Hurry, everybody, hold on! It's dying!"

On the black-red earth, thick smoke billowed from it. The flames that rolled up from the cracks in the ground from time to time distorted the vision. Thousands of blackened dead trees stretch into the distance. At the end of the woods, a snow-white mountain peak splits the gloomy abyssal sky in half.

And in a clearing in the scorched black forest, more than a dozen mercenaries were besieging a fiery red abyssal fire ox.

The fire bull roared. Its massive hooves constantly trampled on the ground. Every time it falls, a circle of flames like ripples is raised. Its sharp horns and whip-like tail are deadly threats. Every collision, every flick, can force the mercenaries out of the way.

However, as time goes by, the momentum of this fire bull has become weaker and weaker. Fatal wounds in the abdomen and neck that already made it crumble.

Seeing that the fire ox was about to fall, the mercenaries around couldn't help but smile.

The abyss is a dangerous place full of opportunities. It is home to a variety of precious ores and plants, as well as the mercenaries' favorite prey, the Abyssal Beast.

This beast unique to the abyss is very peculiar.

They live in harsh environments, have very strong bodies, and have a high density of fur, bones, teeth, and claws, making them very good weapons materials.

Not only that, but they are also ∧affected by the power of the abyss, no matter what their own attributes, their magic core has a trace of the dark power unique to the abyss.

And this, however, is something that the demonic beasts of the Avalon Continent do not have.

Therefore, whether it is for the medicine man, the magic pattern master, the blacksmith or the magician and knight, its magic core. They are all valuable materials for making and cultivating. The price of a third-level magic core can reach hundreds of gold lulangs. Compared to ordinary demonic beasts of the same level, it is many times higher.

However, the abyssal environment is harsh, the demons are ferocious, and the abyssal beasts are scarce. It is extremely difficult to hunt, so not every time you enter the abyss, you will be rewarded.

Especially this time, I don't know why, many mercenary squads came all the way, but they didn't see a single abyssal beast. It seems that this keen creature has long sensed some danger and avoided it from afar.

And this sixth-level Abyss Fire Bull was met by this team by chance. and pursued it for more than five hours before surrounding it to the death.

Seeing that the fire ox's movements were getting slower and slower, and the flames under the four hooves were getting smaller and smaller, the leading knight roared, and the sixteen battle rings turned into a red light, attached to the long sword.

For a moment, I saw the sword soar nearly three meters long, and slashed towards the fire bull!

Boom!

Slashed by this sword. The fire ox could no longer hold it and fell to the ground. The flames on his body were extinguished. The black blood instantly spread out in a big puddle.

Seeing this, the mercenaries all burst into cheers.

Among the abyssal beasts, the Abyssal Fire Ox is an extremely rare treasure, and every part of its body has extremely high utilization value.

In particular, the skin of the Abyssal Fire Cow is a special material for making armor.

Make it into the inner lining of the armor. Not only can it enhance defense, but it can also increase the strength of the wearer himself. Without occupying the area of the armor that can be inscribed with magic patterns, its effect is equivalent to a level 7 power magic pattern and a level 6 enhancement magic pattern.

At auctions, the price of the skins of the Abyss Fire Ox is extremely high. Plus the fire ox's magic core, horns. The tail, bones, and four hooves are all precious weapons manufacturing and refining materials, and it can be said that killing this sixth-level fire bull, even if nothing is found in the abyss ruins, is enough to make this mercenary team make a small windfall.

Looking at the huge body of the fire bull, not far away, several mercenary squads that stopped to watch when passing by also showed envious eyes.

"The Ice Star Mercenary Regiment guys are so lucky," someone sighed, "Why did we go all the way and not even meet a single abyssal beast?"

"We, too, are really evil. ”

"Forget it, every man has his own life. Maybe next time, it will be our turn. ”

"Tsk, how can we have such good luck. This is a sixth-level abyss fire bull. If you put it in the auction house, just a piece of skin, I'm afraid it will be worth more than 20,000 blue gold coins. ”

"Twenty thousand blue gold coins, so expensive?"

"Nonsense, you don't look at what the market is now. Now that the demons are invading, what kind of thing is not skyrocketing in price, not to mention this kind of thing that can be used to increase the power of the Heavenly Transformation Demon Costume. 20,000 blue gold coins is still the most conservative estimate, and it is not uncommon to encounter fierce competition, and it is not uncommon to auction 40,000 blue gold coins. ”

"My God, one skin is 800,000 gold Lulang. ”

"Jarvis is ready now. ”

The crowd was chattering for a while. Looking at the mercenary team's eyes, he became more and more envious.

In the middle of the clearing, Jarvis, the leader of the Ice Star mercenary team, sent two mercenaries with skilled swordsmanship, ready to dissect the prey and reap the results.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a cold arrow shot out.

The two mercenaries who were walking towards the fire ox were covered in cold hair, and subconsciously rolled around to avoid it. I only heard a whistling in my ears, and the wind swept across my face like a knife. Turning their heads, they saw the arrow pass between them and slam into the neck of the fire ox.

This is

The people were astonished and angry. His eyes fell in the direction where the cold arrow was flying, and he saw a tall, thin archer hunter, smiling, jumping down from a dead tree.

He paid no heed to the angry gazes of the crowd, but walked unhurriedly through the crowd to the corpse of the fire ox, and said to himself, "Good luck." I was just passing by, and I was allowed to hunt such a beautiful Abyssal Fire Bull. ”

Between his words, he took this fiery bull as his prey.

Jarvis's face suddenly sank, and he stepped forward and said, "Friend, I'm afraid you're mistaken." This Abyssal Fire Bull was killed by us. ”

The man looked up, glanced at Jarvis, pointed to the arrow around the neck of the fire ox, and said, "Are you blind and don't see this arrow?"

The crowd immediately exploded.

Not only were the mercenaries of the Ice Star team furious, but even the onlookers next to them were also indignant.

Mercenaries have mercenary rules.

According to the rules, when a mercenary is besieging and killing prey, others cannot act at will if they are not in danger or take the initiative to ask for it. And not to make a move. Naturally, there is no qualification for profit sharing.

Although the big guy also coveted this abyssal fire bull, he only watched from the side all the time, and did not move any crooked thoughts.

And this guy, obviously when the Ice Star team had already killed the fire bull, he let a cold arrow shoot the corpse of the fire bull, so he dared to openly claim that he hunted the fire bull.

In fact. When he shot the arrow, everyone vaguely guessed his intentions. didn't expect him to be so shameless.

That's so deceitful!

"Fart!"

This man's words angered the mercenaries of the Ice Star Squad.

The nearest mercenary drew his sword and said angrily, "You want to be shameless." Everyone can testify that we killed this fire bull. You"

Before the mercenary could finish his words, suddenly, a gloomy wind blew.

The crowd's eyes lit up, and they saw a thief smiling. Emerging from behind the mercenary, the dagger in his hand stabbed him in the back.

"Dare to rob our prey, look for death!"

The dagger was drawn, and blood splattered. The Ice Star mercenary's eyes widened in anger, and his body fell straight to the ground.

This despicable and miserable scene made everyone present stunned. The mercenaries of the Ice Star Squad were even more dumbfounded.

"Bastard!" yalvis shouted angrily, like a raging lion. He pounced, and the long sword in his hand spat out a long sword light. Straight over the thief's head.

"I'll kill you!"

The thief's pupils suddenly shrank, and he didn't dare to resist directly, and his body retreated sharply, and at the same time, the archer opened his bow and shot an arrow at Arvis.

But. Where could this arrow stop the angry Jarvis.

I saw that his figure didn't even pause, and with a wave of the long sword in his hand, the surging sword had already split the feather arrow into a cloud of scattered ashes.

The tragic death of his companion made Jarvis only the despicable thief in his eyes at this moment.

His people are in the air. The speed did not decrease but increased, and several battle rings slapped in the air one after another, making a thunderous sound. The air was like a lake, rippling in circles, and the huge force of the shock pushed his body into a bolt of lightning, and the long sword pierced the thief's face.

And at this moment, suddenly, a sharp wind sounded from the side of Jarvis.

In the void, a tall black shadow stepped out like a demon god.

He wielded a heavy two-meter-long knife in his hand and slashed at Jarvis's waist, which was so fierce that he wanted to cut Jarvis in two.

"Be careful!"

"Despicable!"

The mercenaries shouted in surprise and shouted angrily.

Although it is not known what method this man used, it is clear that he, like the thief, hid in the vicinity beforehand, and only attacked when Jarvis was caught off guard.

And judging from the sixteen all-bright battle rings that this person rotated, he was also a Great Bright Five-Star Knight. Such a strong person was so despicable that everyone present was angry.

At the last moment, Jarvis reversed his sword and blocked the opponent's broadsword.

However, one is intentional or unintentional, and the other is an encouragement to parry, and the victory or defeat is already doomed long before the shot.

Hearing a loud bang, Yalvis's whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string, the long sword in his hand was broken in two, and his upper body was blurred with flesh and blood. The battle ring even collapsed eight at once!

His body slammed into the ground, pulling out a deep furrow, and slid far before he stopped.

And the tall figure, with just a muffled snort, took a few steps back. However, in this way, his offensive was interrupted and he could not continue.

"Captain!"

The mercenaries of the Ice Star squad rushed forward, drawing their swords in front of the man and helping Jarvis to his feet.

"Thunderstorm Mercenaries, Gna!" Jarvis brushed the blood from the corner of his mouth, staring fiercely at the sneak attacker, gritting his teeth.

"Thankfully, Mr. Jarves. The tall figure took two steps forward, and a broad, menacing face flickered in the light of the flames in the cracks in the ground.

He smirked and said, "You didn't expect to meet us here, right?"
