Chapter Twenty-Three: The Valley of Silence

Bai Qi didn't think about it, with their average strength of the rookies who were all at the sergeant level, was it possible to complete the task? As soon as this idea appeared, Bai Qi immediately vetoed it, what about dreams, not a single D-level mercenary group has been able to complete the task, these rabble? No matter how you think about it, it is impossible. Alas, let's follow the bang-bang luck, what if the blood lotus just falls from the sky and smashes on your head?

After packing up his things, Bai Qi rushed to the door of the mercenary union, and the time for coming and going was just about the same.

After registering the mission, everyone gathered and began to hit the road, heading towards the outside of the imperial capital of Seville.

"Brother Bai Qi, which academy are you a student of", the fat man Al walked to Bai Qi's side with his stomach and asked with interest, while several other people pricked up their ears and wanted to hear Bai Qi's details.

"Is it the Saint-Lai Academy, or is it another academy?" asked Tyrone, who was on the side, taking over the conversation.

"I'm not a student", Bai Qi glanced at Al and Tyrone, and found that although Al was fat, he didn't breathe much when he walked.

"Not a student, brother, you look about the same age as us, I'm sixteen years old," exclaimed, Al with a little confusion in his tone.

"It's the same", Bai Qi replied lightly.

"Then you are cultivating on your own, right?" The fat man Al seemed to be very curious about everything, and when he saw Bai Qi nodding, he exclaimed even more: "Without a teacher's teaching, it is really not easy to cultivate to this point on your own." ”

And Fran also said on the side: "Indeed, otherwise, Bai Qi, you can come to our Tiandu Academy, although it is not as famous as the Saint-Lai Academy, it can be regarded as a good academy in the imperial capital of Seville." ”

Bai Qi smiled and declined her kindness, indicating that he didn't have this mind, and Fran didn't force it.

Basically, all the way passed through the fat man's inquiry and Bai Qi's occasional answer, as well as Fran's interjection from time to time.

As for Tyrone, he himself is a relatively proud person, so he didn't take the initiative to ask Bai Qi, and Bichi, Bai Qi even felt that this beautiful girl was a mute, and he hadn't heard her say a word along the way.

Along the way, in addition to their five-person team, there are several other mercenary teams, which seem to be all veteran mercenaries, they are talking separately, and their destination is also the Silent Valley, such an unlimited task Everyone wants to get a kick, because the reward of points is high and tempting.

Through conversation, Bai Qisuan also understood their general situation, the four of them are alumni, and the relationship between the three fat people is usually better, except for Tyrone, who is a first-year student belonging to the Tiandu Academy in the imperial capital of Seville, this time in order to be able to break through the strength to the guard level before the age of sixteen, so he applied to the academy to go out to practice.

Tyrone, on the other hand, is a second-year student who likes Fran and goes with them, wanting to get closer to Fran in this mission and impress the girl's heart.

As they walked farther and farther, a dull gray appeared in everyone's sight, a thick fog in the silent valley.

"We're almost there," the fat man exclaimed happily, and in a few moments, when they reached the outskirts of the Silent Valley, there were already many mercenaries gathered here, and there were nearly a dozen teams in total.

Of course, the Wind and Thunder Mercenary Group, which has a hatred with Bai Qi, is also here, but Bai Qi doesn't know it.

As a mercenary, most of them don't look up and don't look down, except for those who have a grudge, other mercenaries will pay attention to building a good relationship with other mercenaries, even if they don't want to pay attention, they won't deliberately provoke each other.

So although these mercenary groups are not united, there is no such situation of hostility to each other, obviously, it shows that the mercenary management of the imperial capital is very good, at least it will not let people kill each other, of course, this is only superficial, as for the real situation, no one knows.

"Everyone, there have been three mercenary groups in the dense forest just now, and now we are about to set off, if we can complete the mission and get a reward, we will definitely invite everyone present to drink", one of the largest mercenary groups, a big man with a battle axe on his back said with a smile.

Bai Qi was quite appreciative, with or without this sentence, the effect was much worse, as soon as this word came out, the relationship between the mercenaries was invisibly brought a lot closer, if there was really any danger at that time, there would be other mercenary groups passing by, and they would not stand idly by, but let Bai Qi do such a thing, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Then we'll wait for you to have a treat", and sure enough, the other mercenaries immediately replied with a smile: "Then if we complete the mission, we will also invite everyone to drink"

"In that case, it's decided, everyone looks at the present, if one team completes the task, you must remember to invite everyone to drink, how about it"

"Okay!", the enthusiasm of the mercenaries was aroused at once, and almost all of them agreed, the fat Al and Bai Qi also followed the mercenaries to coax, as for Tyrone, he was more arrogant. Fran also smiled faintly, but Bi Chi still couldn't see any change in expression on his face.

Teams of mercenaries began to enter the silent valley one after another, Bai Qi and them were naturally among them, perhaps because there were too many people, and the original tranquility of the valley was destroyed at once, the gray mist was filled around, the visibility was less than ten meters, and after a while, the surrounding mercenaries were lost.

Hurriedly greeted his companions, Bai Qi took the lead, and the team gradually entered the valley, while Tyrone in the rear looked at Bai Qi with a mocking expression.

In his opinion, a person like Bai Qi, who has not yet reached the guard level, is not worthy of leading their team. "Tyrone, what are you doing? Hurry up, don't get lost. Fran's eager words came. Tyrone pursed his lips and followed.

In the silent valley, the smoke was filled, and occasionally there were a few light chirping birds, Bai Qi and his party did not dare to be careless, and cautiously walked towards the depths of the silent valley.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, Bai Qi suddenly stopped, waved his hand upward, and said, "Stop!"

Although the three people behind him didn't know what was going on, they all did it, only Theron continued to walk forward, muttering in his mouth: "Warrior-level fighters are pretending to be ghosts, cut, I want to go forward and see what can happen"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a scream not far ahead, "Ahhh

The terrible screams disappeared abruptly, Bai Qi ignored the stunned Tyrone on the side, and said in a deep voice: "The mercenary group that entered in front must have encountered some kind of magical beast, everyone must be careful, follow me closely, and don't fall behind." ”

Al and the other four seemed to be frightened by this sudden scream, and they didn't speak, and the effect of Bai Qi's long-term exercise in the Warcraft Forest was also reflected, and the only one in the group of five who could stay calm was Bai Qi.

Even the arrogant Tyrone cautiously followed behind Bai Qi

"What now, do you keep walking forward or just turn here?" asked Fat Al.

Bai Qi pondered: "Let's go forward, the fog here is too heavy, if you take a detour, you don't know where you will go, in case you encounter an unknown high-level demonic beast, it will be even worse." ”

The group of five people unknowingly took Bai Qi as the core of the team, which none of them noticed.

Suddenly, a whistling sound came out, and a strange-shaped creature jumped out, Bai Qi saw its appearance clearly, this is a monster that looks like a big lizard, covered with green scales all over its body, raised its head, about one meter high, nearly three meters long, opened its bloody mouth, and kept snoring in its mouth, and ran over very quickly.

Fran exclaimed, "This is a second-order demonic beast, the Green Lin Lizard, and no one is its opponent when it fights alone. ”

Tyrone snorted coldly, disapproving, and rushed towards the Green Lin Lizard with his sword.

True to being a wind fighter, Tyrone slashed at the green lizard's head with a sword wrapped in a whistling hurricane.

Even now, Bai Qi could feel the tearing force contained in the hurricane on Tyrone's sword.

With a loud bang, the heavy sword slashed at the head of the Green Lin Lizard, but the iron sword was cracked out. It can be seen how strong the defense of this green lizard is.

The green-scaled lizard shook its slightly dizzy head, and then let out a sharp roar, and its movements were very agile and opened its bloody mouth to bite Xiao Budian who dared to challenge his authority, and Tyrone didn't have time to dodge, so he heard a clatter, and bit this Tyrone's left shoulder.

Then with a violent pull, this Tyrone suddenly let out a miserable howl, and his whole body was pulled into the air by the green-scaled lizard, and the big sword in his hand was also thrown to the side, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The green lizard opened its mouth, its eyes fixed on Tyrone's landing point, and the juice from its mouth kept flowing out, waiting for the food to fall into its mouth.

As soon as Bai Qi wanted to make a move, Fran on the side had already whispered a spell, and Bai Qi couldn't hear what she was talking about.

With a flick of the staff in Fran's hand, a ball of cold light flew towards the green lizard.

Although the ball of light flew very slowly, the green lizard seemed to be on fire with its tail and hurriedly dodged it.

Bai Qi took advantage of the fact that the group's attention was all on the ice hockey, and hurriedly used the instant step to appear where Tyrone fell, hugged him first, and handed over the injured and poisoned Tyrone to the fat man.

The white ball of light slammed into a tree so slowly, hiss--there was no explosion as imagined, the ice ball spread out, slowly enveloping the tree, and the tree was immediately covered in ice.

Bai Qi smacked his lips, he didn't expect this girl to emit such a strong ice magic. It's just at this speed

The green lizard on the side seemed to be enraged, and a mouthful of green liquid protruded in the direction of Bai Qi and them.

"Quick, fatty, hold up your rock shield!" shouted Fran.

Al, who was still stunned just now, was called out by Fran to a spirit. Picking up his cane, he quickly recited a spell in his mouth, and suddenly, the ground shook, and a rock wall was erected in front of several people, and the green liquid touched the rock, making a snorting sound, and after a while, the thick rock wall was pierced by the extremely corrosive green liquid.
