"That's him. ”

In the lavishly decorated living room of an ancient castle, Scarlett is dressed in a crisp white robe. In front of her, an old mercenary stood.

If Roy was there, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the old mercenary he had spoken to when he was in the mission hall. In Scarlett's hand, there was a portrait of Roy, and the old mercenary was saying to Scarlett in an affirmative tone.

"Alright," Scarlett waved her hand, motioning for her retinue to take the old mercenary away, "give him the bounty." ”

When the living room door closed, Scarlett turned her head and said to the other two in the room, "I'm going to the abyss." ”

One of the two is McCallan, who came to pay the ransom and take Scarlett back this time. The other was a burly, giant-like middle-aged knight.

Hearing Scarlett's words, McCallan couldn't help but smile wryly.

Even if he is resourceful, he is helpless against his own wayward young lady. And, until now, he couldn't figure out why Scarlett insisted on coming back. Does she still want to kill Leo with her own hands to avenge Fred?

You know, this time it was the top killer group that struck. Not to mention a mercenary, even if it is a sanctuary, I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will fall.

What's more, here Ao is looking for his own death. I thought that the three major families had paid the ransom, and the matter was so understood. Unexpectedly, in the absence of his two friends from the Alien Sanctuary, he joined the mercenary team exploring the ruins of the abyss by himself. It's like taking the initiative to put your neck into the noose.

Two top-notch killer organizations shot at the same time, plus with an old fox like Watts behind him, this kid is already dead.

In such a situation, Scarlett's personal visit was completely superfluous.

However, thinking about it this way, McCallan still has no way to take Scarlett. Listen to Scarlett's words. He knew that his blocking was useless.

McCallan set his sights on the giant, middle-aged knight.

The knight's name is Ralph, and he has the strength of a bright five-star. In Fuchu, second only to Fred. It is also the most powerful of the family knights who went south this time. Scarlett's safety, in fact, is his responsibility. Even McCallan has to respect his opinion in this regard.

McCarran himself only has the strength of a just knight, therefore. Whether Scarlett can go to the abyss or not depends entirely on Ralph. Although McCallan would love to give Ralph a look and make him flatly refuse. But he knew......

Sure enough, Ralph said without hesitation, "Yes, miss." I'm going to prepare. ”

Looking at Ralph's back as he left, McCallan only felt a headache. While thinking in his heart about how to explain to Elizabeth and Prince Anthony, he sighed and asked Scarlett, "Miss." May I ask why you insist on going in person?"

Scarlett's eyes looked out the window, silent and silent.

She couldn't answer McCallan's question.

She knew that in the minds of McCallan and even everyone else, she hated the guy who killed Fred to the core, and this time she was going to kill him with her own hands.

But only Scarlett herself knows that this is not true.

The fact is. I hate him, but this has been for some time. Every time I close my eyes, what comes to my mind is that night, this guy roaming the city of Muni.

He roamed like a lone wolf in the siege of the knights of House Barneau, tearing his opponents to pieces. Under the threat of the Sanctuary powerhouse, he left calmly, and then attacked the castle of Little Bano with his backhand. caused a shocking bloody case that shocked the empire.

Then, he killed Fred.

Especially the scene where he finally faced Fred's attack, like a petrel facing a storm, went upstream, and finally stabbed Fred in the neck with a sword. It's like a nightmare engraved in Scarlett's heart, and it will be indelible for the rest of her life.

He was so bold, so reckless, yet so calm and wise. Coupled with the name of Ferdinand's ancient family, it gives him an aura of mystery.

Scarlett has never been more curious about a person than she is now. Nor has he ever torn all his reserve, all his pride, to shreds and turned it into a dangerous attraction like in front of him.

This is an extremely complex psychology.

She wanted to break him to pieces, give him all the humiliation she had suffered, and watch him fall in front of her. She had imagined that image more than once.

But on the other hand, she didn't want him to die.

She wanted to conquer him. It's like conquering the grassland, a strong, rebellious, wild and untamed wild horse. Rope around him.

"You killed Uncle Fred, you owe me," Scarlett stared out the window and muttered inwardly, "I want you back!"

............

The blood, spreading from underneath the corpse, formed a shocking circle.

It was a man dressed as a mercenary, his eyes were wide open, and he didn't seem to understand why the other party wanted to kill him. Beside him, a portrait of a young mercenary he had seen in the mission hall was gradually becoming red from the blood flowing.

Pulling the dagger out of the corpse and putting it in his mouth and tasting it, the killer had an intoxicated and terrifying smile on his face.

It was a short man in black armor and a black cloak. His exposed hands, as well as his neck, face and the top of his head, were covered with dense tattoos. In particular, the mouth appears to be split towards the base of the ear due to the tattoo, and it looks like a lizard.

"That's it. The short man said.

Beside him, there were eight other people dressed like him. Everyone looks eerie, and one can feel a chill from afar.

Listening to the short man's words, a thin man in the center nodded, and a grim smile appeared on his skeleton-like face.

"Let's go. He said coldly, "Let's see what this little guy is capable of actually making the Bano family pay such a large sum of money to ask our dark executioner to take action." ”

He flipped over on a nightmare and sped out first. The crowd followed. Nightmare's hooves, leaving a series of burning hoof prints on the earth, also left his voice.

"Let's hope he doesn't let us down. ”

............

Almost at the same time. A huge carriage, also escorted by more than a dozen fierce knights, headed towards Qingshui County.

The carriage was drawn by eight six-legged horses.

Each of these giant beasts from the Philip Empire could easily carry a heavily armored knight for hundreds of kilometers, but now, eight horses and six-legged horses pulled a carriage. It's all very difficult. Where the carriage passed, the wheels made a deep mark.

It was as if there was a mountain on the carriage.

And when the passers-by looked at the carriage with astonishment, in the open window, all they saw was a woman with a graceful figure.

How much can a woman weigh?

People are looking at each other and don't know why.

But no matter how curious they are, this is not something they can explore. The murderous aura exuded by the dozen or so knights around the carriage was enough to make even the most unruly mercenaries shy away.

"Quite a handsome boy," said the woman in the galloping carriage, holding a portrait in her hand. Looking at it, the corners of his mouth hooked a charming arc, and he muttered, "Especially these eyes, they are really charming to look at." ”

The person in the portrait is Roy, who is incarnated as Leo.

"It's a pity," the woman's slender fingers stroked Roy's eyebrows, her gaze. It was as if thousands of stars were twinkling, and there was a faint sigh. "Although you are a little reluctant, you still have to die after all. Who told you to capture someone's daughter and let them find our blood demons?"

Silently, the portrait suddenly turned into ashes, floated out of the window, and was immediately left behind by the speeding carriage.

In the wind. A woman's cold voice was faintly heard.

"Speed up. ”

.....................

The mercenary squad is cautiously advancing through the dark jungle.

The abyssal jungle with no sunlight and very low visibility. The starry light in the sky, like blood-colored eyes, could only make people see the distance of twenty meters around them clearly, no matter how far away. It's a foggy patch, which makes people feel extra depressed.

The jungle is full of deadly demonic plants.

Less than fifty meters into the process, the team was attacked by two Bigfoot Man-Eating Flowers and a Nether Tree. Although it was easy to solve, everyone was tense because of it.

The appearance of these demonic plants shows that they can't think. They will instinctively attack a qiē creature that enters the attack range. One or two may be nothing, but you know, the further you go into the jungle, the more these demonized plants will be.

Even if hundreds or thousands appear together, it is not unprecedented.

In addition to these demonic plants, there are also large swamps and poisonous fog in the jungle. Once you fall into it, you may end up in a pile of bones and sleep here forever.

At the same time, the demons who had fled quickly as soon as they sensed the powerful aura of their opponents began to become bolder. Although they did not take the initiative to attack, they did not flee either. Instead, the ghost followed the team around the group, like a pack of hyenas waiting for their chance.

The Silent Jungle is their home turf.

What is dangerous for humans and other races is a safe environment for them. Their racial talent allows them to make the most of their abilities in such an environment. If you can't beat them, they can also use the terrain to escape.

This makes them bold.

Moreover, the Silent Jungle is a public hunting ground for the Abyssal Demons. In this, the demons have no concept of territory. Although they will hunt each other, they will choose to cooperate when there is other prey.

That's where the biggest headache comes in.

Roy followed behind Rondelo's survey, carefully observing as he went.

The first layer of the abyss has basically been explored by the mercenaries who have explored it over the years, and this jungle that must be passed through to enter the entrance of the second layer is naturally no exception.

However, if it's your first time, you won't be able to get far with a map.

There is no road in the silent jungle. There are many places that all look exactly the same. If it weren't for the help of an old horse like Londelló, who had explored the abyss many times, you would never have imagined that you would have to go around a boulder, into a bush, or even climb down a cliff.

And those roads that seem more obvious to you are often dead ends and even hide deadly dangers.

As Roy walked, he reflected each other with the signs on the map, and gradually, he also grasped a little pattern.

And as the team advanced, more and more demons gathered around. From time to time, you can hear the sound of a rope in the grass and the sound of two demons fighting. Those red eyes, flickering in the dark, dense, made people can't help but hold a cold sweat in their palms.

Franco, who was in charge of finding the way, had retreated to less than fifty meters away from the team. More and more demons are constantly squeezing his activity space. As soon as he was a little farther away, demons would swarm up and launch tentative attacks on him.

With Franco's strength, it would not be a problem to deal with one or twenty demons. But that doesn't mean he's able to fight his way out of hundreds of demons.

Besides, this is a silent jungle, and even if you are so cautious, you have to stop from time to time to find your way. If you panic in battle, the end can be worse than being surrounded by demons.

In this atmosphere, the rest of the team also became silent. Even the chatter Racios became quiet. A pair of small eyes watched vigilantly around, holding a gem in his hand at any time, as if at the slightest movement, he would smash those strange spells of his life out!

After getting acquainted with the environment, Roy relaxed. Through his perception and elemental eyes, he could clearly observe the location of all the demons around him. And these first- and second-level demons, as long as they are careful, they can't pose any threat to themselves at all.

Instead, the curiosity to study the demon's power system prevailed, and if it weren't for the fear of causing trouble, he would have wanted to catch a few demons and take a look.

Just when Roy looked at the demons gathered around him but couldn't make a move, Rondello marked a place with concentric circles on the map and stopped.

It is a depression under a mountain cliff with sparse forests. One side is a cliff, the other side is a pile of troubled times, and the whole terrain extends to the northwest in a fan-shape, which is relatively open.

After following the team here, without the shelter of the jungle and grass, some abyssal demons showed their bodies.

When they see their prey more clearly, and at the same time spot a large number of their own kind gathered around them, they become agitated. Many of the demons at the front of the line jumped around, scratching the ground with their claws from time to time, looking impatient and eager to try.

"Prepare for battle. Instead of proceeding, Rondello pointed to the cliff and quickly dispatched, "Ave and Racios go up to the first level, Tusu and Leo go up to the second level, Reclary and I are in front, and Franco is in charge of driving and luring. ”...... (To be continued......)
