Chapter 184: Cloudy Storm

Saltus stood outside the crowd, his skeletal face unusually gloomy.

"He killed Gna?" the poisonous lizard beside him twitched his cheeks slightly, full of disbelief. So much so that the dagger that usually kept turning in his hand stopped.

Tall, pale-skinned, scarred, and slightly squinted eyes, like a poisonous snake that smells danger, exuding a cold aura. And those who know him well know that this is exactly how he behaves when he is extremely shocked.

Originally, it seemed to them that it was an easy and simple task.

A young mercenary with only one-star strength in glory, as long as you find him, the mission can be declared over. Any of the nine could easily cut the kid's neck and take his head back to the tasker.

It's just that their luck doesn't seem to be very good.

Ever since tracking their prey into the Dark Basin, they have been trying to catch each other's tracks. However, walking around this labyrinthine haunted place, not only did they fail to find the kid, but they were also attacked by a demon tide and a small cloud.

Among the people who arrived here, they were relatively early. But until now, I haven't seen that kid appear.

What they didn't expect was that they waited and waited, just when they thought that the kid was dying in the middle of the road, they waited for such news. This kid actually killed Gna. What's more, he's part of a combined team of several mercenary squads!

These two points make the difficulty of this task skyrocket. They had to reassess the boy's strength and calculate the consequences of doing something to him.

"Are you saying it's true or not?" said the poisonous lizard grinned, its dagger scraping its cheeks, and a poisonous snake tattooed on the base of its ears looked particularly hideous as its skin was pulled.

"I don't believe it. Scar said with a grim expression, "Even if he killed him, it couldn't have been done by him alone." ”

"No matter how many people there are, if they can kill Gna, it means that this kid is not simple. "At least it's not easy to take chances. ”

The executioners were silent.

In the previous intelligence. This kid killed Fred, the powerhouse of the Sanctuary. At the time, everyone thought it was just an accident. And the main role in the battle is played by the two alien sanctuary. Otherwise, no matter how old Fred is, this kid won't have the slightest chance.

But this time, he killed a Great Light Five-Star Knight again, and any more accidental words were obviously self-deception.

As Solster said, this at least proves the kid's ability to take chances.

And seizing the opportunity is also a manifestation of strength. Get a glorious one-star knight. Even if there is an opportunity in front of you, you may not be able to grasp it.

"Of course, don't worry too much," said Solst, "we're in the dark, he's in the light." Even if there is a chance, it is our chance. ”

"What about the others?" asked one of the executioners.

Mercenaries are a bunch of unruly and camaraderie guys. This kid had fought alongside them and killed Gna. Then he is likely to be looked down upon in the minds of other mercenaries. As soon as a conflict breaks out. It's hard to guarantee that those guys aren't hot-blooded.

The dark executioners are so famous that ordinary people dare not provoke them. But that doesn't mean the nine of them. can be the enemy of hundreds of mercenaries.

It's a nuisance.

"Don't worry. These mercenaries are not monolithic. If you really enter the ruins and see the treasure, hmph, it's good if they don't fight by themselves. Solster sneered, "Besides, even if they all protect that kid. At the very least, Morton is our natural ally. ”

Saltes' words made everyone smile coldly.

"Demon Butterfly," Saltes said, "you go talk to Morton." ”

"Yes. "A handsome one. But the man, who was as feminine as a woman, nodded, pursed his lips and smiled, and walked in the direction of the thunderstorm mercenary.

"Well, just wait. The dagger in the lizard's hand turned again, and his eyes looked into the distance, "Strange, what is that woman doing here?"

The executioners set their sights on Sandra.

In the killer world, the Dark Executioner and the Blood Demon Hand are both the top killer organizations and the most competitive opponents. We know each other very well. As soon as Sandra came, they had already noticed.

However, they didn't know that the Blood Hand was brought in by Princess Elizabeth to deal with the same target. Therefore, I was a little surprised that the other party appeared here. In particular, it was Sandra, the vice president of the Blood Demon Hand, who came even more unusually.

"And Lord Scarlett. The poisonous lizard frowned, which made his tattooed face look like a crumpled painting.

"She presided over the incident in Muni City. The result was a complete failure. Otherwise, Wox and Barnes & Noble Sr. wouldn't have found us. The poisonous lizard said, "It stands to reason that she should have returned to the imperial capital." How did you bring people here......?

As he spoke, he turned to look at Salters.

However, Saltes didn't seem to hear his doubts. He turned his head to look into the distance, his gaze fluttering in the deep hollows, looking a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" asked the poisonous lizard.

"Something is wrong," Saltes said with a serious expression, "one of the skeletons I left in that direction spotted the cloud, and it was very large. ”

.........

A skeletal archer, jumping in a mountain stream.

After a few ups and downs, it climbed up a cliff to the top. Just as it turned around and was about to walk down the ridge, suddenly, as if aware of something, it jerked its head to the left.

The vast abyss is boundless. On the horizon, a tide of gray clouds is gathering sharply. It was a spectacular sight. The gray clouds formed a wall of kilometers high, surging upwards like a tsunami wave.

Everything seemed so small in front of this gray cloud. The top of the cloud seemed to be motionless, but beneath his feet, thick clouds were constantly surging, swallowing the ground. Trees, rocks, hills. Mountains...... Everything was eroded little by little, disappearing into the gray clouds.

Demons and abyssal beasts are on the run.

At first, it was just a few small dots under the waves. If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to see them at all. But soon, countless demons and abyssal beasts came out of nowhere, running in the opposite direction of the gray clouds.

With more and more quantities. Gradually, a black torrent was formed. Everywhere he went, the earth shook, and the trees broke, and there was a mess.

The skeletal archer watched in silence. The soul fire in the eye hole jumped.

The same scene is happening in a different area.

There are skeleton blades and axemen who walk the plains, skeleton swordsmen who swim in the river, and even higher-ranking skeleton commanders. They are in different environments, but the kilometer of gray walls on the horizon. But it's the same.

.........

When the pictures converged on Roy Zhihai, his footsteps paused suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

Several captains walking beside him turned their heads at the same time and glanced at him.

At this moment, a combined team of more than one hundred and thirty mercenaries was moving through a vast meadow in the direction of the white peak. Emotions were high for all. Talking and laughing all the way. The victory of several prayer hours is still talked about with relish until now.

No one knows, though. Their situation has become more and more dangerous.

The only ones who had heard Roy's speculation about the closure of the abyss in the cave were a few captains. And to avoid panic. This news has not been announced until now. So few people know that it was an escape trip. And because of the previous delays, time is getting more and more pressing.

If the abyss is indeed closed, it means the arrival of a cloudy storm.

There is no doubt about it.

For thousands of years, mankind's exploration of the abyss has proven this countless times. It can be said that this is an experience summed up with life and blood.

If it's outside the Abyss Labyrinth right now. Everyone will not hesitate to rush towards the abyss. Where is the only safe haven? It is a place that cannot be touched by a cloudy storm. But in the depths of this abyssal labyrinth, in this strange dark basin, even if you want to run, you don't know where to run.

The only hope seems to be the mountain in the center of the basin. Someone who is able to build a building in the abyss. It must be a super strong person with great power. It is only in the ruins he left behind that it is possible for everyone to find a safe place to escape the clouds and storms.

Of course, that's just speculation.

No one knows where fate will be directed by them, and no one knows whether that glimmer of life exists.

Along the way, the captains would turn their eyes to Roy from time to time.

While the other mercenaries were shocked by Roy's prowess, only they knew that Roy's importance was not only due to his extraordinary prowess, but also to his amazing talent for scepters.

He is important because he was the first to spot the crisis. At the same time, his calm and wise, his ability to discern direction in the labyrinth, and the kind of elixir he gave to Ziggy and the others to resist the clouds made him everyone's reliance and the de facto leader of this team.

At this moment, seeing Roy suddenly stop, the captains' hearts jumped.

From Roy's eyes, everyone saw a hint of solemnity. And even when fighting Gna, Roy's eyes did not appear to have such a change. The clear blue eyes with a hint of confusion have simply become the symbol of this young man with countless secrets.

"We have to speed up. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be danger. Roy said, turning his head to look behind him.

"What's the danger?" the group turned their heads to look around.

The procession marched across a plain with a wide line of sight. The nearest few demons and abyssal demonic beasts were all far away. The red starlight overhead and the black clouds like a long river were also calm. They really didn't see any danger.

Roy said with some concern: "Storm." ”

"Storm?" Olivia muttered, her eyes widening suddenly, "you mean...... Cloudy storm?!"

Roy nodded solemnly.

Although they didn't see any signs of a storm, they didn't know how Roy knew about it. But when Roy nodded, the captains turned around almost without hesitation and gave orders to their team.

"All of them, speed up!"

"Quick! keep up!" ...... (To be continued......)
