The Nine Smoky Mountains are known as the "Foggy Mountains" and "Lost Mountains", and the origin of the name is the white clumps that can be identified by the naked eye from the endless mountain ranges.

It was like a very white tulle falling from the sky, draped on a thousand peaks.

If you look at such a spectacle from outside the mountain, it is indeed a little elegant, but if you are in the middle of the mountain, I am afraid it will not be so peaceful.

In this thick fog, it seems to be comfortable, but in fact, it is a murderous and hidden intention.

If one is not careful, in this thick fog, it is a place of death.

However, it is precisely like this, Jiuyan City can only stay away from the existence of Jiuyan Mountain, whether it is an experienced old hunter or a powerful person in Yancheng, when the smoke of Jiuyan Mountain is thick, he does not dare to step into half a step.

On this day, the fog was light, and there was a howl in the Nine Smoky Mountains.

On a day when the fog was light, there was no shortage of mercenaries from Smoke City who came to find valuable herbs, hunt magical beasts, and hunt demon cores. This kind of day is rare in a year, and it is a rare good day to collect money. But even so, you have to be careful everywhere, even if the fog is thin, there is no shortage of danger in the mountains, if you are not careful everywhere, you will end up with no bones!

On a rugged path, several figures were moving cautiously, for fear of alarming the demonic beasts resting in the mountains.

"I'm still the same sentence, everything is focused on the task, our target this time is a silver wolf at the peak of the second order, if we can kill it, this reward is rare for our mercenary group. ”

The man in the lead lowered his voice and raised his head slightly, revealing a slightly immature face, and the saber in his hand was held more tightly.

Several big men behind him nodded slightly, and they naturally understood what the leader meant. In this mountain, no matter how big the advantage is, you can't take advantage of it, otherwise it will only lead to death.

Although the person who leads him is not very old, he has an undoubted status in the hearts of these men who lick blood on the tip of the knife all year round.

In addition to the head of the entire mercenary group, the most convincing thing is Su Cheng, who has just turned 18.

A series of rugged mountain roads slowly groped past, although the road was thrilling, but unexpectedly did not encounter any magical beasts, which made the group very happy, there is nothing more fortunate than not exerting physical strength on the way.

There is more Xuan Qi in the body, which requires an extra ability to save life.

The group of eight people was also a little thrilling on the subsequent journey, but they were turned away by Su Cheng one by one.

Don't despise him because he's young. Although he is only 18 years old this year, he has been a mercenary for five years, walking on the edge of life and death more freely, and living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife.

He is only 18 years old, and his own strength has been raised to the second-order intermediate level, which is by no means an ordinary person in the entire Nine Smoke City.

The group walked for about half an hour, and finally stopped under Su Cheng's order. In the direction of his finger, a silver wolf with shiny hair and a strong appearance appeared in front of the mercenaries.

"Goo"

A mercenary swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this silver wolf was already the peak of the second order, and he opened his fingers and calculated, among the eight mercenaries, two of them had reached the second-order intermediate level, and three of them had reached the second-order low level, while the remaining mercenaries were the peak of the first order.

Although there is still a big gap from the silver wolf, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death, and although this mission is risky, it is not impossible to complete.

"According to the plan agreed in advance, start acting, brothers cherish!"

Su Cheng looked at the passionate men around him, gritted his teeth slightly, and said calmly.

As soon as the voice fell, several mercenaries nodded, scattered in a fan shape, and under Su Cheng's command, they approached the silver wolf step by step.

At this time, the silver wolf was resting on the ground, and when he heard some strange noises, he suddenly became alert and looked around. In the end, a pair of vicious eyes locked onto the people who were slowly moving.

"Whew!"

As if because these people in front of him stepped into their territory, the silver wolf became more and more angry, and stood up violently, his hind legs slightly arched, and he looked ready to attack.

"Arc Slash!"

Su Cheng saw that this silver wolf had begun to be alert, and secretly sighed that something bad was wrong. With a sharp swing of the sword in his hand, a one-meter-long and finger-wide sword qi flew out with a "whoosh".

This silver wolf is not an idle person, its body flashed sideways quickly, and the rapid sword qi only left a shallow wound on its front leg.

"This beast is quite fast, Ma Han, Lao Liu, you two and I outflank it. ”

Seeing that this silver wolf actually dodged his sword qi, Su Cheng was also slightly startled, and his heart was a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down, and ordered two subordinates whose strength was not inferior to his own to outflank the silver wolf.

The remaining mercenaries are ready to support at any time.

Ma Han and Lao Liu's strength has reached the second-order intermediate level, and they also belong to the rare mainstay of the mercenary group. The two of them have been mercenaries for many years, and they reacted extremely quickly, one left and one right, and quickly blocked the position of the silver wolf.

But this silver wolf was too much stronger than them after all, and while howling, he pounced on Ma Han, who was slightly inferior in strength.

In a position that the silver wolf's gaze couldn't reach, he actually condensed two cyan flying knives in an instant, and quickly stabbed at Ma Han.

Mahan couldn't dodge and was stabbed by a flying knife, and instantly lost his combat effectiveness.

"This brute, it's a bit of a way!" Su Cheng couldn't help but be furious when he saw that his biological brother was injured, and rushed towards the silver wolf with his sword.

"Push the mountain palm!"

The saber took advantage of the situation, and Su Cheng pushed it over with one palm, and actually pushed it on the forehead of the silver wolf, saving Ma Han from the wolf's mouth.

The mercenaries, who were still watching, also joined the battlefield, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

This battle lasted only ten minutes. Su Cheng's side has basically hung up the lottery, and there are two brothers lying on the ground, not knowing whether they are alive or dead.

On the other hand, the silver wolf is not much better, and his snow-white fur is already stained with blood. The two forelimbs trembled slightly, and they were also injured a lot in the melee, and now it was the end of the crossbow.

Su Cheng turned his head to look at the two mercenaries lying on the ground whose fate was unknown, and couldn't help but be angry, threw his sword, his body seemed to be a little more flexible, and he quickly forced towards the silver wolf.

Seeing Su Cheng's fierce expression, the silver wolf was timid for a while, and wanted to escape, but found that he was locked by several mercenaries on the back road.

"Brute, you still want to escape?"

Seeing the appearance of the silver wolf, Su Cheng was even more angry.

"Sweep the legs!"

"Kaishan Fist!"

"Push the mountain palm!"

Su Cheng roared as he threw out the three yellow-level low-level martial arts, and his movements flowed smoothly, directly taking the silver wolf's vital point.

Eventually, the silver wolf collapsed from exhaustion. Seeing that Su Cheng was also a little powerless, a mercenary quickly rushed over and slashed the silver wolf with a sword. In the wailing of the silver wolf, everyone could clearly feel that its vitality was completely dissipated.

Su Cheng's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he sat on the ground with his butt slumped, panting heavily. Command his mercenaries to clean up the battlefield and ask about casualties.

There were eight people in the group, six of them hung lottery, and two died, such a blow made Su Cheng inevitably a little dizzy.

"Take the two brothers back for a thick burial. Thousands of words came to his mouth, Su Cheng suppressed it, and popped out such a sentence without warning, which made the surrounding mercenaries stunned.

"Yes!"

After a long silence, several mercenaries answered.

After sitting for a while, Su Cheng felt that the strength in his body had also recovered, and he took back his long face in the hands of a mercenary. With a sudden sudden, the head of the silver wolf was cut off.

"This should be done. Su Cheng looked at the face, a little hideous wolf head, and some speechless threw it into his old Liu's bag, regardless of asking.

"What is this?"

At the incision of the silver wolf, there was actually a magic core the size of a walnut.

"It's actually a demon core, looking at it like this, I'm afraid it's almost the third order!"

The magic core is a treasure, but it is hard to find, although the number of demonic beasts is a lot, but the only small part that can give birth to the magic core. And this magic core is a treasure that is hard to find in the market.

"This is exciting, the nearly third-order demon core, how to say, can also be exchanged for a few thousand gold coins, this is the income of our mercenary group for nearly a year. ”

Several mercenaries were discussing in a gossiping manner, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in their words.

"Shh

Su Cheng quieted everyone down, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he took off the demon core and stuffed it into a close-fitting glove.

"In this wilderness, if you meet someone with some strength, kill people and grab treasures, you don't know how you died!"

Su Cheng quieted everyone down and reprimanded in a low voice.

Several mercenaries realized that they were carried away by the excitement, and they got a little carried away, and hurriedly apologized, their faces a little more solemn. Fortunately, there is no one around, and if someone hears it, I am afraid that it will be a little more troublesome.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up, and everyone had no intention of staying, speeding up and preparing to leave Nine Smoky Mountain, but after only walking for about ten minutes, Su Cheng found that the atmosphere on the field was a little wrong.

"Whoosh!"

With a whoosh, the sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded, Su Cheng and the others did not expect it, Lao Liu, who was walking in front of the team, wailed, covered his abdomen and fell down.

And above the abdomen, there was a bow and arrow made of stainless steel.

was already injured a lot, and with this bow and arrow, this old Liu probably won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month.

Seeing the hidden weapon coming, but not seeing anyone, Su Cheng couldn't help but feel a little numb in his scalp, and said calmly.

"I don't know where the hero passed by here, we are the mercenary team of the Storm Mercenary Regiment of Nine Smoke City, and today we are bothering here, just to make a living, and ask the hero to raise his noble hand. ”

As soon as the voice fell, they heard the sound of some acquaintances in the bushes, and everyone hurriedly guarded, but then found more than ten people slowly walking out of the bushes.

Su Cheng looked at the chests of these people, and the bright and eye-catching badges were engraved with a bright sharp knife, which seemed to be stained with blood, half red, half white, which looked a little weird.

"Sharp Knife Mercenary Group, what do you mean by this, are you going to start a war with my Storm Mercenary Group?!" Su Cheng saw the comer clearly and shouted loudly.

The leader was a middle-aged man of about 30 years old, armed with two short axes, this person Su Cheng had seen before.

The Sharp Knife Mercenary Group and the Storm Mercenary Group are both one of the few powerful mercenary groups in Nine Smoke City, and the two are naturally incompatible, and all kinds of small frictions occur every day, but such a blatant attack has never been done before.

A thought flashed through Su Cheng's head, if there was anything in his body that could make these guys not hesitate to make enemies with him and attack him openly, I am afraid it was because of that second-order peak demon core.

Although he had a certain number in his heart, Su Cheng pretended to be confused, and still questioned why the Sharp Knife Mercenary Group attacked his take.

"Su Cheng, you are indeed a talent, if a few of you are in excellent condition today, we are really not sure that we can keep you, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

The leading man shook his head in feigned pity, and a greedy look climbed up his face, squeezing the wrinkled face even more unpleasantly.

"Let's not go around in circles, hand over the core, at least it will make you die a happy death. His face changed, and he let out a vicious roar.

"Sure enough. ”

Su Cheng was shocked, these guys really came for that demon core, it seems that there is really a big catastrophe today.
