On the third night after leaving Norvi City, the expedition team was forced to camp in the wilderness after not being able to reach the town where they could rest, and it rained heavily in the night sky.

"What bad luck...... "Ella grumbled as she sat in front of the tent.

Although the tents have been specially treated and reinforced, the heavy rain outside the tents can be completely invisible, but such weather can still cause a lot of inconvenience.

"Alright, let's get some rest, we have to go tomorrow. ”

Daisy was lying in a pink sleeping bag, looking tired.

"By the way, Mino, who are they, you haven't told us yet?"

The more time they spent together, the more curious Ella became about the black-haired teenager.

"Although he looks pretty good, Sister Elsa is so beautiful, and she is still the great magician of the Ultimate Radiance Realm, how can she take a fancy to him?"

Mino, who was already lying down, looked at the top of the tent with his eyes wide open. It was the first time she had left Norvi City and her parents when she was so old. It is impossible to say that there is no discomfort at all. The fatigue of the journey, the longing for his mother, and the concern for Cole have kept Mino's mood very low for the past two days.

"He's a very powerful man......"

Weifeng stayed in a tent with Elsa and the Qingning siblings.

In this regard, Qingshi was very dissatisfied.

"Sister, don't we have a lot of money left, why don't we buy a tent anymore? ”

"How did I know I needed to buy something like this......" Qing Ning shrunk into her sleeping bag a little embarrassed.

Naturally, there are still tents, and it is unlikely that the mercenaries who are away all year round will lack such things. It's just that at the signal of Weifeng and Bonnie, no one came forward to lend it to the siblings.

"That's fine, if something happens, we can protect you both in time. Weifeng explained with a smile.

"What's so dangerous about a place like this...... I think you just don't mean good to my sister. ”

"Little stone, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control again, Qing Ning hurriedly poked his upper body out of the sleeping bag and hit Qingshi's forehead hard.

"Oh, sister, you hit me on the head again!"

Elsa looked at the siblings with a shallow smile on her face, but she was thinking about other things.

The situation of body blurring has become more and more frequent recently, and it is strange that the people around him, including Weifeng, do not seem to be aware of the changes in themselves.

For example, at this moment, his chest was flashing with white light, but Weifeng and Qingning sisters and brothers seemed to be completely invisible.

What the hell is going on......

Suddenly, Aoshi, who was protesting to his sister, turned sallow.

"Ah, sister......"

"What's wrong with you, little stone!" Qing Ning hugged his younger brother in a bit of a panic.

Bluestone, who was dizzy, felt the heart in his chest beating very violently, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling.

"Chest, chest......"

Weifeng on the side was also startled by the bluestone, and the bluestone, which was originally dark-skinned, began to shine with red light.

"This, is this ...... How could it be ......"

Feeling the younger brother who began to get hot in his arms, Qingning thought of a possibility, but he couldn't believe it at all.

"That's right, that's right, ...... amber beads"

Qing Ning hurriedly took out the bead that he wanted to sell to Weifeng from his arms and pressed it on Qingshi's chest. The soft white light began to seep into the bluestone's chest continuously.

Finally, the red light on Qingshi's body slowly dimmed, and the whole person also collapsed and fell asleep.

Weifeng, who was guarding the side, looked at Qingning, who was hugging his younger brother, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Elsa, on the other hand, frowned in confusion.

As Bluestone regained her composure, the white light in her chest dissipated.

At a distance of about a hundred meters from the outskirts of the camp, twelve mercenaries, who were good at concealment, lurked quietly in the shade of the trees according to Bonnie's orders.

Wow......

A very low sound came from the darkness, extremely unrecognizable in such a noisy rainy night.

A mercenary lying prone on a branch frowned in confusion.

Is it the wind?

Wrong......

The suddenly alert mercenary quickly pulled out the flare from his bosom for warning, and at the same time opened his mouth wide, trying to inform his companions around him.

A red light flashed, and the mercenary, who didn't have time to make a sound, fell weakly from the tree, and before he could reach the ground, he was steadily caught by a man in a black robe.

The man turned his head back, and several black figures silently retreated from the woods.

Directly above the camp, Kaisha and Wren, who had been following the siblings, were quietly observing the situation in the camp.

"You arranged those people?" Wren asked his companion with some dissatisfaction.

"You should know that our goal this time is just that brother and sister, don't do things that don't make sense. ”

Kaisha, who was staring at the tent of the Qingning sisters and brothers, ignored Wren at all.

"Hey, can you not keep having such a dead face?"

Wren, who has been repeatedly ignored, deliberately irritates Kaisha.

"Idiot. ”

"You!"

"I have something to go back to, and you're here now. ”

Wren looked at Kai'Sa in the distance with a look of indignation, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

"Is it my delusion......

Early the next morning, the clouds cleared and the sun was shining.

Ayla wakes up from her sleep to some surprise to find that she is the only one left in the tent.

"Strange, where have all the people gone?"

Confused, Ella changed into her clothes and walked out of the tent sleepily.

Outside the tent, a large group of mercenaries gathered together, looking solemn.

"Well, excuse me. ”

Ella struggled through the crowd, looking for signs of Daisy and Mino.

Finally, at the front of the crowd, Ella saw the figures of the two friends, but I don't know if it was a problem with the light, Daisy and Mino's faces were a little pale.

"Ahh

Following the gaze of the two, Ella saw the mercenary lying on his back on the ground, his face pale and lifeless.

"How can this be ......"

The mercenaries around them also had heavy faces. No one expected that this seemingly simple task would be inexplicably casualty at the beginning.

In front of the corpse, the Qingning sisters and brothers were facing the mercenaries' questioning with some helplessness.

"What the hell is going on? Isn't it an expedition to the Demon Swamp, why would someone attack us before we reach the Demon Swamp?"

A tall man with a thick beard shouted at Qing Ning with some excitement. His name was Tariq, and he was the commander of the dead mercenary.

"I'm sorry, it's my responsibility, I didn't expect this either. ”

Bonnie stood next to Qingning, her face gloomy.

"I'll give you an explanation for this. But I hope you can continue to complete this mission, and as compensation, I will give you an extra double-A weapon after the mission. ”

"This can't be done that way, Captain Bonnie. A female mercenary from Minglan stepped forward and said, "As mercenaries, although we are not afraid to take risks, you must at least let us know who the enemy is and why they attacked us, right?"

The mercenaries around him didn't speak, but looking at their demeanor, they obviously agreed with the female mercenary's words.
