Chapter 159: In the catastrophe
Zhang Ye was puzzled, don't want the best flying sword, go and ask for a high-grade spirit stone?
Zhang Ye asked the other mercenaries: "Who is willing to take me to the Dark Forest, the best flying sword belongs to whom." οΌΈβ
The best flying sword that was still eye-catching before, the mercenaries at the moment are like avoiding snakes and scorpions, although Master Zhang's works are rare, but they also have to be fated to get them.
Zhang Ye shouted for a long time, no one took the order, and no one told him why, at this moment, a team of mercenaries came closer: "I heard that as long as I take you to the dark forest, you are willing to pay a master's superb magic weapon as a commission?"
Zhang Ye looked at the people who came, the Jindan monk of Yishui, especially the male and female in the lead, the female monk was half a step of the Yuan Infant, and the male monk was in the middle of the Yuan Infant.
"Exactly. Zhang Ye replied.
The male monk looked at the flying sword in Zhang Ye's hand and was silent for a moment: "Our Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group has taken a mission, and it just happens to be near the Dark Forest, so we can take you there along the way, but we will not enter the Dark Forest, if you want, come with us." β
The male monk talked about why he couldn't enter the dark forest, and Zhang Ye suddenly realized that the dark forest was so dangerous, but Zhang Ye didn't back down: "Okay, you can take me to the vicinity of the dark forest." β
Zhang Ye handed the best flying sword forward, and the female monk happily took the flying sword, as if she had obtained a treasure.
"My name is Sky Wolf, and this is my sister, Little Peach. The monk glanced at the friar fondly, introduced herself, and then arched her hand, "I don't know what your excellency is called?"
Zhang Ye dressed up in disguise, just to hide his identity, and he definitely couldn't say his real name, so he said: "Magical Taoist." β
Sky Wolf's face twitched a little, such a pretentious name, as soon as he heard it, he knew it was fake. However, the Heavenly Wolf didn't dig deeper, after all, Zhang Ye seemed to be just a Jindan monk, and he couldn't make any waves.
On the way out of the customs, Sky Wolf told Zhang Ye a lot of things about the 100,000 Great Mountains, and Zhang Ye also slowly learned about this Sky Wolf mercenary group.
At the beginning, there were only two brothers and sisters, Sky Wolf and Little Peach, and after years of hard work, they had the current scale and became one of the best mercenary groups in the Ghost Gate.
It's just a pity that the little peach girl couldn't speak because of an accident, and she took a lot of panacea, but she couldn't cure it. Fortunately, the monk could communicate through divine thoughts, but there was no major problem.
"Actually, I didn't want to take your job at first, mainly because my sister admires Zhang Ye very much, and I heard that you have Zhang Ye's best flying sword, so I wanted to come over and give my sister as a gift. Tian Wolf and Zhang Ye chatted for a while, became a little less guarded, and said honestly and uprightly.
Zhang Ye looked at Xiao Tao, who was fiddling with the flying sword on the side, hey, I don't know how many girls I have disappointed, what a sin......
Walking through the long canyon, suddenly enlightened, the aura of the 100,000 mountains is compelling, it is no worse than the Heavenly Dao Peak, these fierce beasts will really pick a place to settle down.
Coming to the realm of the 100,000 Great Mountains, the momentum of the Heavenly Wolf and Xiao Tao changed, and they put away the ease and complacency, becoming dignified and cautious.
Zhang Ye asked, "There are only a few small fierce beasts of the Qi refining level on the periphery of the 100,000 Great Mountain, why are you so nervous?"
The Heavenly Wolf glanced at Zhang Ye and ordered first: "Protect the Magical Daoist." Immediately, the formation of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group encompassed Zhang Ye in it.
"100,000 mountains, you can never take it lightly, in addition to fierce beasts, you must also beware of people's hearts. After the wolf finished speaking, seeing that Zhang Ye was still dumbfounded, he added, "You leaked money in the ghost gate before, I'm afraid that some people will be worried, don't be careless." β
Zhang Ye didn't notice this stubble, the experience in the rivers and lakes was still not enough, so he thanked him, and followed the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group to the depths of the 100,000 mountains in an orderly manner.
It may be because of the strength of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, until night, there are no other fierce beasts and monks approaching.
Because the aura of the 100,000 mountains is too abundant, it is a burden for low-level monks, and just like in Heavenly Dao City, they need to eat to replenish their physical strength. Coupled with the fact that the danger of the 100,000 mountains at night doubled, the Sky Wolf chose a place to prepare for the overnight rest.
After setting up the camp, the wolf took some of his men to hunt nearby, and after a while, the wolf returned with a few small beasts, but one of the people in the team had a broken arm.
In the face of Zhang Ye's inquiry, the monk with the broken arm was a little embarrassed: "When I was hunting a beast, I was accidentally stabbed by a stinger, and I had to cut off my arm to save my life." β
"You are true heroes. Zhang Ye sighed from the bottom of his heart, he was in Tiandao City, as long as he had money, he could buy any fierce beast meat, but he only knew the deliciousness of the fierce beast meat, but he never knew the danger of these hunters.
Hearing Zhang Ye praise the hero, the Severed Arm Monk blushed, and hurriedly said that he was not, the Heavenly Wolf was, and when the others heard this, they immediately gave the Broken Arm Monk a heroic nickname to make fun of him, and a group of people made a mess.
Zhang Ye looked at this scene, and somehow, he was a little envious of their lives, after all, Zhang Ye circled around the blacksmith shop all day long, and he had never enjoyed this kind of life of fighting side by side with his brothers.
After a while, the barbecue was fragrant, and Xiao Tao took a piece of animal meat and handed it to Zhang Ye.
"Thank you. Zhang Ye came back to his senses and took the beast meat, although this is not as delicious as the carefully cooked dishes in the kitchen, but the rough method also has a unique flavor.
Zhang Ye took several bites, and found that Xiao Tao's big watery eyes were staring at him, Zhang Ye asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tao handed Zhang Ye a jade slip, and Zhang Ye reacted that Xiao Tao couldn't speak, so he immediately took the jade slip and communicated with his thoughts.
"Magical Daoist, are you from Heavenly Dao City?" asked Xiao Tao.
"Hmm. Zhang Ye replied.
"I've never been to Heavenly Dao City, is Heavenly Dao City big?" Xiao Tao looked longing.
"Big, very big. Zhang Ye said affirmatively.
Xiao Tao asked a lot about Heavenly Dao City, and suddenly, she asked again, "Have you seen Master Zhang?"
Zhang Ye was a little speechless: "I've seen it." β
"Have you really seen Master Zhang? Is he as handsome as the legend?"
"Handsome exploded. Zhang Ye said without a red face and without a heartbeat.
Xiao Tao was very happy and was about to continue to say something, when the wolf called her, and Xiao Tao said, "Next time we talk, thank you for giving me the sword." β
Seeing his little fans so lively and cute, Zhang Ye's mood improved a lot.
The next day, the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group continued to march into the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains, and occasionally encountered Jindan-level fierce beasts attacking, but the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group was strong and did not suffer.
Sometimes Zhang Ye wanted to make a move, but the wolf stopped him: "You are an employer, if you die halfway, won't it ruin my reputation?"
Sky Wolf's words are straightforward and unpleasant, but Zhang Ye understands that he wants to protect himself, so if he doesn't make a move, the mercenary group can cope with it anyway.
"Magical Daoist, then again, what are you going to do in the Dark Forest?" When she was resting, Xiao Tao couldn't hold back her curiosity and came to talk to Zhang Ye again, after all, Zhang Ye was a Jindan monk, and going to the Dark Forest was purely looking for death, but she added, "Of course, you don't have to answer." β
"Kill the beast and practice. Zhang Ye told the truth.
But Xiao Tao felt that Zhang Ye had lied, so she snatched the jade slip angrily and never talked to Zhang Ye again.
Zhang Ye smiled helplessly and didn't explain too much.
After a while, the team was back on the road.
Xiao Tao was originally responsible for protecting Zhang Ye closely, but she may be a little angry and stay away from Zhang Ye.
The wolf shouted that Xiao Tao would not move, so he had to apologize to Zhang Ye and rearrange the two to protect Zhang Ye.
Walking on the road, Zhang Ye suddenly turned around: "Xiao Tao, do you believe me when I said that I traveled to the dark forest?"
Zhang Ye wanted to make Xiao Tao happy, but he was stunned, and then, he looked around and asked, "Sky Wolf, where did your sister go?"
"My sister-in-law......" Sky Wolf was about to say that my sister was there, but he was suddenly stunned, there were more than a dozen people in the team, but Xiao Tao was missing.
Sky Wolf forced himself to calm down and asked the monks in the team, but no one noticed when Xiao Tao disappeared!
"Go back and find it!" the wolf led the men and horses and returned the same way.
"Brother Wolf, there's a hole here, and Little Peach Girl's sword!" A monk noticed the anomaly and immediately reported it.
Everyone hurriedly leaned over, and next to a pitch-black and bottomless hole, there was a superb flying sword built by Zhang Ye lying quietly.
Zhang Ye frowned, why didn't he notice such a big hole when he walked from here before? Could it be that the little peach girl fell into it while walking?
Sky Wolf checked the entrance of the cave, and his face turned pale: "It's broken, this is the hole where the ghost-faced spider forages!"
The ghost-faced spider is a primordial infant-level fierce beast, but because of its elusiveness, it is more difficult than ordinary primordial infant beasts. Earlier, the little peach girl was in a mood, so she went to the end of the team to defend, but the ghost-faced spider came out of the ground and dragged the little peach away.
Because Xiao Tao couldn't call for help, the people of the mercenary group performed their own duties, but it was dark under the lights, and they didn't notice that Xiao Tao was gone.
The Heavenly Wolf commanded: "Everyone stay put, if I don't come back before dark, cancel all tasks and escort the magical Daoist back to the Ghost Gate!"
With that, the wolf jumped into the deep hole.
Zhang Ye also knew the seriousness of the matter, hesitated for a moment, and also wanted to enter the spider cave to save people.
Although the other monks were in a hurry, they unswervingly carried out the order of the heavenly wolf and stopped Zhang Ye: "Magical Taoist, it is enough for Brother Wolf to save the little peach girl, if he can't save it, it's useless for us to go." β
Everyone is a Jindan monk, and it's just a burden to go.
Zhang Ye didn't explain anything, and the power of the Yuan Infant gushed out, shaking back a few people, carrying a bone knife, and burrowing into the spider cave.
"Yuan ...... Yuan Ying?" The monk of the mercenary group was shocked, and then his face was ecstatic, "Form a formation, wait for Brother Wolf and them to come back!"
They believed that with Zhang Ye's help, Sky Wolf would definitely be able to kill the hateful ghost-faced spider and save the little peach girl.
At this moment, the wolf followed the cave, and the further he went, the more open the space became, and finally came to a huge lair.
A ghost-faced spider hangs from the top of the nest, grimace and mosaic as it spits spider silk around the little peach.
"Bold beast!" the wolf flew up in a rage and slashed at the ghost-faced spider.
At this moment, many grimaces suddenly appeared from the countless holes in the lair, and spider silk was like a waterfall.
With the cultivation of the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, the Heavenly Wolf could deal with a ghost-faced spider, but more than a dozen ghost-faced spiders appeared at once, and he could not escape.
