Xichu, a desert country. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The yellow sand all over the land looks very desolate, but it is precisely because of the long desert that it is hindered by the commercial trade. Merchants seek profits, where there are interests, they will attract businessmen, in this part of Xichu, every day there will be merchants or business groups to join, but every day there will also be merchants or business groups, buried in this place, eternal life and yellow sand as a companion.

The desert is not a good place, and natural disasters such as sandstorms are terrible, but even more terrible are man-made disasters.

A group of bandits and robbers who are as ferocious as jackals, tigers and leopards, and recently there is a dangerous lone wolf.

Lone wolf, this is what the merchant groups used to call him, because he always appeared alone, wandering alone in this desert area. Some well-meaning merchants, seeing that he was alone, out of kindness wanted to help him, gave him some food and drink, and kept him in their ranks.

Originally, they thought that the other party was just alone, and he looked so weak, there must be no danger, but they never thought that their kindness would bring them death.

The cruel lone wolf, from the beginning of just killing lonely merchants and a few merchants, to some time ago, his goal changed to a small merchant group with less than a hundred people. Later, it was even more rampant to hunt down medium-sized merchant groups, and so far, the lone wolf has slaughtered three medium-sized merchant groups with a number of almost three hundred people, becoming a terrible danger factor in the desert, causing panic in people's hearts.

This is a large merchant group, as a desert ship, the number of people is fixed at five hundred, plus several small merchant groups traveling together, the number of people has reached the level of more than eight hundred, and the bustling crowd gathers into a long dragon.

"Stop. "The members of the Shenglong Mercenary Group who are responsible for the defense of the Desert Boat are in the Yuan Spirit Realm, and they will be the ones who have them, and most of them are beast masters who have no future, can't open the Life Palace, and rely on controlling spirit beasts. The leader of the Thang Long Mercenary Regiment was a bearded man riding a sand crocodile, his name was Simon, and he saw a group of people appear in front of him, so he stopped the team.

As the group got closer, Simon saw that all six of them were children, and except for one of them, who was very tall and looked like an adult, the rest were only children of about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Five boys, two girls, seven children, what do these children want to do in the desert, it shouldn't be a merchant at such a young age, and it shouldn't be a mercenary, are they the children left behind by the merchant group that was killed?

"Hello, what do you call it?"

To Simon's surprise, it was not the boy who looked like an adult who spoke, but a boy with bandages on his hands and forehead and a gentle smile on his face. Although there was some surprise, Simon had to admit that this child's smile has a special magic that is easy to get close to.

"My name is Simon, and I'm the leader of the Thang Long Mercenary Regiment, who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Xingzhi. "This young man wrapped in bandages is here, and the others are of course Zero Yu, Erya, Ai Yi, Xiangxiang, Yemeng and Kurori, all the members of the third detachment of the Dragon Order Lord are here, and the purpose of their trip is for that demon seed...... Lone wolf.

"These are my companions, we are here for the first time, can you tell us, where are you going?"

"We're going to Rain City. "Rain City is the capital of Western Chu, and it is also the largest oasis in this desert land, the biggest difference between it and other regions is that there is abundant rainfall, and it will rain every month, and it will rain for three days and five days for a heavy rain, so it has the name Rain City.

"It just so happens that we want to go to Rain City too, can you take us along the way?"

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Simon suddenly became vigilant, although there were only seven of them, and six of them seemed to be just children, but knowing people and knowing their faces did not know their hearts, there are too many means in this world to disguise a person, so Simon had to be careful, what if these people were undercover spies sent by the thieves group?

"Don't worry, we're not thieves, we're psychics. Of course, Xingzhi could see what Simon was worried about, so he reported his identity as a psychic with a slight smile, and also took out his ancient badge, with the ancient badge of Valhalla as proof, Simon's concerns were dispelled at once.

Ancient coats of arms have only one owner, and it will not leave the owner's body until the owner dies. And when the owner dies, the law fluctuations on the ancient badge will disappear, and it will not have the law fluctuations again until it is recovered by Valhalla, erased the mark and re-recognized the master, so the ancient badge cannot be faked.

Simon also has the ancient badge of the Valhalla, which symbolizes the ancient badge of the beast master, but the status of the psychic and the beast master is completely different, and now he actually has seven psychic masters in front of him, especially the leading one psychic master, who has actually reached the level of honor. God, he's only a few years old, and he's already reached the supreme level.

If it weren't for Simon being the head of a group, he would have experienced a lot of wind and rain over the years, and his mentality was stable and mature, I'm afraid Simon would have screamed out now.

"Sorry, we can't summon our own Patrons, but this Ancient Badge should be a sign of who we are. ”

"Of course, honorable psychic, it is our honor that you are with us, but this group is not my decision, and I must ask my employer. "Even though they are very young, Simon, who is only a beast master, must pay his respects. Simon is of course in favor of accepting the people who go to the line, with the noble status of a psychic, what kind of robber and bandit would be a fool.

It's just that he must only be the head of a mercenary group, and if something goes wrong, it is the employer who suffers the most, and he must respect the employer's opinion, and it is inevitable to ask first.

"That's fine, whatever you want. ”

After receiving permission to travel, Simon immediately turned around and went back to discuss with the leader of the Desert Boat, and the results soon came out, and learned that there were actually seven young psychics who wanted to go with him, and the leader of the group was of course happy to do so, and strongly welcomed him.

"Venerable Psychic, it is our honor that you are to walk with us. Donacon, the head of the regiment, laughed.

"You're polite, it's good for you to call Xingzhi, head of the regiment, I just hope that when the time comes, it won't cause you trouble. ”

"How can it be, this sentence should be said by me, in this great desert, I am afraid that we will not be able to entertain all the respected psychics. ”

Xingzhi smiled silently, didn't say anything more, followed the enthusiastic head of Donacon, integrated into this business group, and embarked on the road to Rain City.

"Are we really going to Rain City?" Zero Feather squinted his eyes, the strong and dazzling sunlight made his eyes feel very uncomfortable, sometimes some senses are too sharp and not good, when the sunlight is too strong, Zero Feather will feel a tingling in his eyeballs.

"Of course, what I said, of course counts. Xingzhi shrugged his shoulders and said very naturally.

"But isn't our mission to find the demon seed, and then investigate clearly, what do the people of the Hades Temple want to do?" Zero Yu didn't understand, their mission was to find the demon seed, not to travel, but now what are you going to do, and what is the purpose of going to Rain City, the demon seed is wandering around this area.

"Yes, there is no conflict between going to Rain City and this mission. ”

"Isn't there a conflict, that demon seed, he chose a small and medium-sized merchant group as a target, but what we are joining now is a large merchant group, so many people, will he come?" Because it is the first time to carry out the mission, and this time the mission points, but each person is three thousand, which is far from the five thousand points required by the silver, and more than half of it has been cut at once.

The most important thing is that behind this demon seed, there is also the shadow of the people in the Hades Temple who are active, so Ling Yu attaches great importance to it and has made a lot of efforts to understand.

"Ling Yu, when you think about a problem, you must learn to think deeply, don't just stay at a problem, the surface of a thing. If we choose a small and medium-sized business group, then we will miss out on this demon seed, well, the probability is as high as more than ninety percent. Xingzhi's eyes shone with wisdom, and he carefully speculated on all possibilities.

"If you think about it deeply, more than ninety percent will miss it, why is that?" Ling Yu frowned slightly, in the past twelve years, he has been living in Wuyang City, living with his mother, and he has not been in contact with many people and things, and in terms of experience, he is not half a star worse than Xingzhi.

Xingzhi reminded him to think deeply, but Zero Yu didn't find a clue for a while, and since he couldn't figure it out, he had to be ashamed to ask.

"The Demon Seed Lone Wolf's goal, from the beginning, was only to kill lonely merchants, as well as a small number of merchants, small merchants, and medium-sized merchants, all of which showed that his appetite was constantly expanding. Erya said with a solemn face, she already understood Xingzhi's intention to choose this business group.

"Is his appetite swelling for pleasure in hunting others, or has he completely lost his mind and become a beast that only knows how to kill. "Zero Feather can't imagine what kind of existence this guy who keeps making killings and hunting others.

Demon seed, is it really a demon?

"No, he's supposed to be looking for food. Xingzhi shook his head.

"Food, what does he eat?" Ai Yi asked curiously, taking a sip of wine.

"He should eat the soul. ”

"Soul, this kind of thing can also be eaten?" Xiangxiang expressed disbelief, looking at the night fierce beside her, her eyes became a little vigilant, do all demon seeds like to eat souls?

Ye Meng didn't say anything, his brows furrowed slightly, he also had a demon bloodline and was a demon seed, and he knew very well what it meant to eat souls.

"Is it delicious?" In contrast, Ai Yi was more worried about the taste, Ling Yu rolled his eyes, and asked Ai Yi to continue drinking his wine, he better not speak.

"Demons, in ancient legends, are a group of very evil and terrible creatures, their food is strange, some like flesh and blood, some like pure energy, some like to feed on human greed, anger and other emotions as food, and the most evil demon king, is to devour souls. The demon seed is the descendant of the demon and the human in the primordial spirit realm, and they have inherited the bloodline of the demon, so it is normal for some characteristics to be the same as him. ”

"It's no surprise that people die every day in this desert, and their bodies are either covered by the wind and sand, or eaten by wild beasts. The reason why the demon lone wolf is used here as his hunting ground is because there is such a natural factor that can help him cover up, and there is no need to worry about the corpse or anything, just throw it away at will, and nature will naturally help him wipe his ass. ”

"But some things, since they have been done, are bound to leave traces, some demonic energy left at the murder scene, and there are also broken soul fragments. These soul fragments are not left behind by human destruction, but are left after being eaten, so I came up with the answer that he is devouring souls. ”

"What flows in the body of the demon lone wolf should be the blood of the demon king, with the killing, constantly devouring the souls of others, his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is estimated that there are hundreds of people, almost nearly a thousand or so, to be able to satisfy his appetite. ”

With such an explanation, everyone understood the reason for joining this business group, and they also had a certain understanding of the demon seed lone wolf, but after understanding, everyone's mood became very heavy.

It takes nearly a thousand people to satisfy his appetite, how far has the demon lone wolf grown now?

Zero Yu's guess that he wanted to go was wrong, because in this way the demon seed lone wolf would be easier to deal with, but Zero Yu didn't want the guess to be wrong, because only in this way would this merchant group be selected as the target, and more killings would be avoided, so that this demon seed could be disposed of in the shortest possible time, otherwise it would be a huge disaster if it continued to grow.

As the sun moves westward, the heat gradually subsides with the arrival of dusk, and when the sun completely sinks and disappears, and the night falls, the desert begins to become cold, and the desert is like that.

At night, it is also the most lively time in the desert, because this is the time when animals and spirit animals come out to feed, and only at this time, the temperature is the most suitable.

In order not to provoke those powerful spirit beasts, the merchant group also began to set up camp, raised bonfires to cook, and the food problem of nearly a thousand people could not be solved in a while. (To be continued.) )
