After a brief confirmation by the personnel, the group set off.

Of course, there was still a lot of distance from the Mercenary Corps Department of Demon Cloud City to the checkpoint in the north of Beicheng District, so everyone chose to take a carriage at first.

Wentz and a few other strange mercenaries were carrying sleeping bags and tent parts on their backs, making them look unusually bulky.

The carriage walked slowly through the bustling crowd. After about an hour, I finally arrived at the checkpoint north of Demon Cloud City.

There are several fourth-order Silver Knights inspecting here. Everyone took out their mercenary diaries, which read "D-Class Escort Mission". After the silver knights confirmed, they released the twelve people from the Heavenly Herb Academy.

After leaving Demon Cloud City, Genosis looked at the endless mountains, and above the mountains, there were rolling white clouds.

"This is the Demon Cloud Mountains......" Blake looked at the scenery, also a little surprised.

The crowd walked slowly. Roy suddenly asked, "Uncle Huck, the weather is getting colder, and there shouldn't be as many herbs as in spring, right?"

"Well, that's usually the case, but there are some medicinal herbs that can only be found in colder weather. It's late autumn now, and this is the last time I've come to the Demon Cloud Mountains this year to collect medicine. Next time, it's going to be next year. ”

Roy was stunned.

The slope on the southern periphery of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range was relatively flat, and Huck said that the destination of their trip was a small basin west of the Demon Cloud Mountain Range. The climate in the basin is relatively humid, which is suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs.

The trip was only halfway through, because it was already late autumn and the sky was already dark. Two of the mercenaries took out torches and lit torches for lighting.

There's another reason to be relatively safe to get close to the west side: it's close to the Demon Cloud Fortress in this direction.

Huck was obviously familiar with the road, and he led the group slowly to a relatively flat slope, and said, "It's not getting early yet, so we'll camp here today." Take a break at night and leave early tomorrow morning to be able to go back in the evening. ”

"Okay......" After everyone heard this, their minds relaxed a little.

As a wealthy merchant, Huck also wears the Void Ring. He pulled out a disposable glove and pulled out a large box from the Void Ring.

Roy and Generosis looked at it and shook their heads, wondering what it was, why it stinked so much.

Blake couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice, "Boss Huck, what kind of medicine are you selling in this box, why does it smell so big." ”

Huck laughed and said, "Uh, this thing is the feces of a fifth-order demonic beast. Every time you only need to sprinkle some around the place where the camp is held, then some second- and third-order demonic beasts will basically not be harassed.

Blake nodded. Instead, Genesys and Roy looked at each other again, apparently, Generosis and Roy secretly wrote down the experience that these mercenaries needed to know to survive in the wild.

There were twelve people in the team, and the employers were Huck, Mary, and Genosis and Roy were pitching their tents. Luna Tees, on the other hand, stood by coldly, and she was looking around to check if there was any danger in the vicinity.

Generosis and Roy were unfamiliar with each other, and they couldn't put the tent up for a while. However, the two young men were very good learners, and after looking at the methods of the other mercenaries to set up their tents, they also set up the tents in a decent manner. Generosis then helped Huck set up the tent. There are five tents in total.

Wentz and the four mercenaries he didn't know were all on dry food.

Through the light of the torches, Roy pulled Rajanosis and said very quietly, "Come here." ”

Roy pulled Genosis aside and, after making sure everyone couldn't hear, said, "Boss, have you noticed?" ”

Geneross had a chill in his eyes and said, "Well, along with Wath, the dry food that those five people ate was the same kind of jerky. It seems that this Wentz wants to take advantage of this joint mercenary mission to kill us. ”

The four strange mercenaries ate the same kind of dry food as Wentz, revealing that the five of them were in a group.

Generosis was originally very kind, but since Esya taught him that the eight rules of knighthood are used to improve his own norms, not to restrict himself to death, since then, and now he has been a mercenary for so long, and Genesis has gradually become ruthless.

"With Sister Luna Tees, I'm not too afraid of any tricks they'll play," said Genosis. But the two of us should pay extra attention tonight, if we let Xiaobu come to keep vigil, it is probably not reliable. ”

"Hmm. Roy nodded.

"By the way, we'll eat the same dry food later, and we can't expose our Void Ring to the fresh meat and simple kitchen utensils in it. Genosis added.

Because the food was all on Roy. Roy searched through the Void Ring, found a five-person portion of dry food, and distributed it to his five people.

After a brief meal of dry food, everyone checked the situation and returned to the tent to rest. One for Janosis, Elusa, and Lunatis, and one for Blake and Roy. The two tents of the house are relatively close together.

Originally, Luna Tez said that she would keep a vigil, but Genosis refused. Geneross' reasoning was that Lunatis needed to stay in good spirits all day tomorrow, and Lunates couldn't say anything.

"Genosis, do you feel like Blake has been a little weird lately?" Elusa wondered because she didn't know about Geraint's existence.

"Ah...... It's nothing. Genosis didn't know how to explain to Elusa for a while.

Roy and Geneross were arranged like this, Geneross kept watch for the first half of the night, and Roy kept watch for the second half of the night.

To the surprise of Genosis, among the other five people in the group, they actually lay down and rested with peace of mind.

Geneross frowned slightly, apparently wondering what Wens and the four strange mercenaries were trying to do.

Geneross stayed until about three o'clock, and then he went to wake Roy and the two changed the guard.

However, nothing unexpected happened overnight.

The next morning at about half past six, Genossis was woken up. Elusa also tried to ask Genosis for some water to wash up, but was stopped by Lunatis. Lunalys shook her head and said, "Wait, it's not safe yet. ”

"Oh. Elusa was a little disappointed. She's a clean girl.

In the morning, everyone had a simple breakfast, still dry food, and then sorted out all the things to be packed, including tents. Unexpectedly, Wentz ran up to Genosis in great embarrassment and asked, "Man, can you help?" ”

Generosis was stunned, Wenss must have beaten his own Void Ring, and Generosis asked rhetorically: "Brother Wenos, do you want my Void Ring to help you put a tent?"

"Well, can you help?" said Wats, looking at Geneross expectantly. Roy on the side said helplessly: "Uh...... It's not more convenient for you to find an employer, a hack boss, to help you. ”

Huck, who was cleaning up the tent on the side, nodded and said, "Come, I'll use my Void Ring to help you out." ”

Both Roy and Generosis knew that Wentz and his gang were trying to conserve their strength. As for what you want to do to save your energy...... Only then will we know.

After packing up their supplies, everyone took out their weapons and continued to follow Huck on his way. Admittedly, having a Void Ring to carry supplies is too convenient.

By half-past ten in the morning, they had crossed a steep slope and saw a small basin overgrown with grass. Many of them are still medicinal herbs.

Huck pointed to a gentle slope ahead near the basin and said, "We'll camp there later, I'll go pick herbs, and I'll be back this afternoon." ”

The crowd obeyed the order and hurried to hurry. However......

As everyone relaxed their vigilance and quickened their pace, a crimson shadow quickly leaped out of the grass on the side.

"Whew!"

Fire-streaked wolf, a common second-order magical beast. Fire Pattern Wolf, as the name suggests, this wolf beast, most of the coat color on its body is dark red, but with red flame-like lines, in the process of running fast, it looks like dancing flames.

Genosis' Starfall Shield was already ready. He held Elusa behind him tightly.

Because this is a fire-attribute magical beast, and second-order, the resistance to the fire element is relatively high, so Elusa's magic attack effect is not very good, and Elusa did not make a move.

"Hoo ......"

With a roar, several other mercenaries picked up their axes and swords.

Luna Tees didn't rush to make a move. She knows that wolves are social creatures. There can never be just one......

"Brush!"

Another fiery red shadow. Luna Tiss's knife light flew fast, and before Genesis could react, another fire-streaked wolf had already arrived in front of Geneross' shield, but Geneross just wanted to launch a block, but found that the wolf did not collide.

Luna Tex had already pierced the wolf's head with a sword, but she didn't stop, immediately pulled out her long knife, and continued to protect everyone.

"Damn!"

The number of fire-streaked wolves gradually increased, and after a while, sixteen fire-streaked wolves appeared, surrounding everyone. Blake knew that this kind of time could not be kept, and after he closed his eyes, he quickly opened them, and the eyes that originally looked like a fool had now turned into bright golden thunder eyes.

Geraint possessed.

"Whew-"

Luna Tees wields her long knife very gracefully. Another knife to solve a fire-streaked wolf.

Although it seemed that there was nothing to do with Geneross, Genesis did not dare to let his guard down at this time.

"It's coming!"

Genosis and Elusa switched positions and launched against the block.

"Bump!"

The light elemental shock wave directly blew a fire-streaked wolf six or seven meters away. Genosis's heart shook violently: The gap between this second-order and himself is still a bit too big. Reverse blocking is tough, but the requirements for one's own physical fitness are just as high.

Instead of running over to mend the knife, Genosis kept to Elusa.

The battle lasted nearly six minutes, and thanks to the presence of Luna Tesh, the group did not suffer serious casualties. Blake breathed a sigh of relief, and the brilliant gold in his eyes vanished.

Comparatively speaking, Wentz and the four strange mercenaries were seriously injured. The four of Genosis, because of Geraint's possession of Blake and Lunatis's sixth-order combat power, were basically undamaged.

Everyone sorted it out, and Roypi took out some simple hemostatic bandages without smiling, came to the five mercenaries with the colors on his body, and said, "Big brother, I'll help you bandage it." ”

The four mercenaries and Wentz each looked at each other with some hesitation, and then all five nodded.

Genosis sneered in his heart: (hum...... Hypocrisy to hypocrisy...... It's a pity that this kind of hypocritical thing must be done...... ）
