Chapter 5 The Return of the Mountains
Although he is in the middle of the Nine Smoke Mountain, he has an ancient feeling in his heart, as if he has eaten a reassuring pill, and he can shock Su Cheng's existence with one word, what a demon it is.
"Master, this cliff is also a thousand feet high, how should I go up?" Su Cheng looked down at the depths of the cliff, and couldn't help but feel stunned again, and asked with a little fear.
"This little thing also calls me an old man, a young man now. With such an answer in his mind, Su Cheng looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head embarrassedly, and waited for the following.
"Alright, stand firm!"
As soon as the voice fell in his mind, an extremely majestic energy spread out from his right hand, and quickly condensed into a protective film as high as a person in a visible appearance.
Before Su Cheng could react, he soared into the air and rose rapidly.
"Exciting!"
Looking at the constant changes in the scenery under his feet and around him, Su Cheng was also excited in his heart, such a strange thing has not been encountered in more than ten years of life.
In less than a minute, Su Cheng had already come to the stone path where he had fallen off the cliff.
The mercenaries who were originally guarding here have long since lost their whereabouts, so I'm afraid they've long since left.
"I don't know what happened to those guys. Su Cheng thought so. After a pause, he then asked, "Master, if I break into the depths of the Nine Smoke Mountains now, what do you think are my chances of surviving?"
Su Cheng was still relieved of the group of brothers, and asked Gu tentatively.
Gu thought for a while, and said quietly: "If you don't get close to the last mountain range, there is a thirty percent chance." ”
"Sancheng?"
This result was indeed beyond his expectations, he originally thought that his chances of victory were less than one percent, and the last mountain range of Nine Smoke Mountain would never dare to approach half a step, which was something that the powerhouses of the entire Nine Smoke City did not dare to think about.
I remember that once, Madman Chen led a team close to this mountain range, and Su Cheng was just a small mercenary at that time, but he could not forget that scene for the rest of his life.
With overwhelming demonic beasts and deafening roars, if it weren't for the fact that Chen, one of the top ten powerhouses in the Nine Smoke Mountains, had his life to protect him, I am afraid that that team of mercenaries might not be able to get out of the mountain range in this life.
Su Cheng muttered to himself, which was much higher than his previous estimate. "Sancheng, that's enough!" he nodded heavily, and headed towards the depths of the Nine Smoky Mountains.
Gu Gu didn't comment much on this kind of death, but just let Su Cheng follow his own temperament. You must know that if Su Cheng's behavior is restrained, it will be extremely dangerous for Su Cheng's cultivation path.
However, looking at this behavior from the bottom of my heart, the ancients still praised this practice, if people are not crazy in the world, how can they grow?
Accepting the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor, Su Cheng obviously felt that he had improved significantly in all aspects, just like now shuttling through the dense forest, he could clearly feel the breath of the demonic beasts within a hundred meters.
This faint aura is even stronger than his own strength, if he doesn't use the Demon Pattern Nine Skeletons, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill it, and now Su Cheng can't waste his energy and time for such a meaningless battle.
Therefore, Su Cheng did not alarm them, but chose to constantly change routes. Although this way of searching is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and you and I will have a lot of energy, it has not affected Su Cheng's footsteps in the slightest.
"Huh?"
Su Cheng, who was shuttling in the jungle, suddenly stopped, hesitated slightly for a while, jumped up and hid on the branch of a tree with more lush foliage, if you don't observe carefully, it is really difficult to find.
It was now the middle of summer, the sultry air set off the temperature to be ridiculously high, Su Cheng was like an old monk in a steady state, his body was motionless, the breathing rate was pressed to the minimum, and beads of sweat were dripping down his face, but even so, Su Cheng did not move half a step.
Not far away, three figures appeared.
Although it was far away and the sight in the dense forest was not very good, Su Cheng still recognized these three people at a glance as the mercenaries who had surrounded and suppressed Su Cheng before.
The three men walked aimlessly, tearing off the hats from their heads, and fanning the wind quickly, trying to find some coolness in the sweltering woods.
"Damn, that guy is like taking a stimulant, if it weren't for our brother and the three, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to take him today. ”
One of the mercenaries said with a smile, a little smug.
"Don't say it, Brother Ding Tong said, as long as you can kill a mercenary of the Storm Mercenary Group and reward 50 gold coins, then our brother can have a few drinks in three nights."
"Yes, yes, I also heard that there are gold coins that will be rewarded, or let's go to Yichun Tower tonight, I heard that the new girl there is a thief Shui Ling. ”
After that, a mercenary with a more obscene face rubbed his palms, not hiding his excitement at all.
"Third child, you will lose to a woman sooner or later!" the leading mercenary scolded with a smile, without the slightest blame, and seemed to be looking forward to the evening's activities.
The three of them walked defenselessly under the tree where Su Cheng was hiding, and the words they said before were also heard by Su Cheng, who had improved his ears.
"Pushing the Mountain"
"Kaishan Fist"
Su Cheng fell from the tree, and the two martial arts of the Yellow Rank quickly punched out, and with one palm and one punch, the two weak mercenaries flew out.
Su Cheng obviously felt that since accepting the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor, it was much easier to use the Xuan Qi than before, and these two low-level martial arts of the Yellow Order could actually burst out with damage no less than the high-level of the Yellow Order in an instant, which was also thanks to the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor.
"Who?!"
The leading mercenary was shocked, although the strength of the figure in front of him was similar to his own, but the terrible thing was that he had hidden it above his head for so long, and he didn't feel its breath at all.
"Second Intermediate Level?"
Su Cheng muttered to himself, revealing a sneer, he didn't expect that the mercenary in front of him was actually the same strength as himself.
"Ten moves!"
Su Cheng's fighting spirit erupted, although he didn't have a weapon in his hand, but this did not affect his attack method at all, and then the mercenary was a set of hand-to-hand combat.
"Su Cheng, you didn't die?!"
The mercenary finally recognized Su Cheng, and a look of horror climbed to his face.
"Isn't this evil star dead, damn it!"
The mercenary was frightened by Su Cheng's eyes, and was eager to escape, but was spit blood from his mouth with a sweeping leg kick from Su Cheng's close attention, and he hurriedly retreated, losing his combat effectiveness.
Before the ten moves arrived, Su Cheng actually defeated a mercenary with similar strength to himself with physical combat.
Although this mercenary was hollowed out by wine, his strength was in front of him. Second-order intermediate, this kind of strength is a mainstay wherever it is placed, but such a mercenary is as fragile as a blank piece of paper in Su Cheng's hands, and it can be broken at the touch of a button.
Without the slightest ambiguity, Su Cheng snatched the sword of the previous mercenary and strode forward, quickly slashing the two mercenaries who had been knocked into the air earlier.
The mercenary who survived was still trembling, and kept muttering, "Don't kill me, don't kill me." Looking at that look, it was as if Su Cheng wanted to ***** him.
"Let me ask you, has your mercenary group been closed?"
Su Cheng looked at the mercenary who was still trembling in front of him, unmoved, and asked coldly.
"Yes, yes, this time the work is over, the mercenaries who fled to the mountains were all killed under the command of Ding Tong, and the corpses were all thrown in the mass graves, not far from here, we are the last mercenaries to leave here. ”
The mercenary was obviously frightened, and quickly told the truth all the information he knew, and then secretly glanced at Su Cheng.
Although Su Cheng had already been mentally prepared, as soon as these words came out, as if he had been punched in the heart, he staggered, and almost fell and collapsed on the ground.
"Big brother, I was really wrong, I was really wrong, you just spare me, I don't want to die yet. When the mercenary saw Su Cheng's constantly changing face, he was afraid for a while, and begged for mercy with a crying voice.
"Have you spared my brother?"
Su Cheng gritted his teeth, a nameless fire in his heart burned quickly, and he lifted the knife and fell, only to hear the "click", the mercenary's head had already landed, and the face was still full of incredible looks, leaving only the trembling body that was still gushing blood.
"Ding Tong! Sharp Knife Mercenary Group, I want you to die!"
Su Cheng smashed his fist on the tree in anger, he could only blame himself, if he hadn't insisted on taking on this task, then he wouldn't have entered Nine Smoky Mountain today because of this task. If it weren't for his own strength being too small, these injured mercenaries would not have died, and now his strength is more than the third and fourth orders!
Thinking of those sincere, hot-blooded, and hearty men, Su Cheng felt a heart-piercing pain, paced towards the location of the mass grave mentioned earlier, and in about ten minutes, he saw several corpses lying all over the place.
Among these corpses, there are mercenaries from the Storm Mercenary Group and people from the Sharp Knife Mercenary Group, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of battle took place here.
The men of the mercenary group are not afraid of life and death, dare to fight desperately, and fight frantically, this scene seems to be constantly repeated in Su Cheng's mind.
After a while, Su Cheng calmed down a lot, sniffed lightly, felt the smell of blood in the air, suppressed his instinctive gagging, and said indifferently:
"Go in peace, brothers, I will avenge your revenge!"
With that, he bowed deeply and ran quickly in the direction of the downhill.
This matter, I want to reach the ears of the regiment commander Chen Luozi, there is the day when the two mercenary groups start a war, and this Ding Tong must be solved by himself.
If you can't use it, it will be your biggest regret, regardless of anyone's eyes, and immediately start a war, this sharp knife mercenary group has completely violated its bottom line.
