Chapter 120: Predator Crisis
A few days passed, and Rand did not reappear, as if he had thrown the entire Soul Exterminator Mercenary Group in the forest and ran away, completely fading from the minds of the members of the Soul Exterminating Mercenary Group.
After the battle of 'White Rhino Roar', the small encounters in the back have become much easier, although they have encountered five-star intermediate and five-star high-level magical beasts, but the division of labor of soul destroying has become much clearer, Lei Russia is responsible for defense, Frost Warrior 'Srog' and Thunder Demon Sword 'Erin' are responsible for melee combat; others will be reinforced according to the situation, and the mage firepower will be output, and everyone must give full play to their best combat power in the battle.
Night...... It's a lot safer because of the presence of the beast trainer 'Silver Moon Dragon'.
Even if there is a demonic beast attacking the camp, it will be detected by the Evil Wind Ape in advance, and a warning will be issued in advance.
A few days down.
A group of young men and women who have not yet graduated from Qingyun Academy have sharpened their water chestnut horns, and their eyes are no longer innocent, romantic and relaxed, but awe and caution in the dangerous Warcraft Forest.
Collecting loot is no longer as clumsy as it was at the beginning, combining the knowledge from books, taking useful things and destroying useless ones.
We don't know if the so-called first lesson of Tutor Rand has ended, but everyone has begun to adapt to the current life, the kind of life that is tense and exciting, ready to meet challenges, and always maintain the best fighting condition, and can get more experience and experience in every battle.
Xu Wen also had to admit that it was easiest to concentrate in a tense state, unlike usual, it took a long time to eliminate ordinary distractions;
Twenty-one people, like sponges, frantically absorbing, learning, improving! In the evening, they can also take part of the time to discuss each other's experiences, and each other is making rapid progress.
"Tomorrow, we officially start our mission. ”
He Chen suddenly proposed that night.
Task...... Each student in the Blood Mansion must complete a series of tasks of varying difficulty, including detailed tasks with hard surnames, as well as official tasks with a general degree of difficulty that focus only on quantity;
He Chenhuan was a glance at everyone, and no one objected.
Everyone turned their faces to look at the young man who was sitting silently in a corner, bowing his head silently, their deputy head 'Xu Wen', was still the same, once there was no fight, he sat down and cultivated in the same plate as the old monk, next to him was the black wind eagle and the three-eyed flame tiger who were in a circle of size, very quiet and honest lying beside him.
In the past few days, everyone has a clearer understanding of Xu Wen's strength, so they can also accept Deputy Head Xu's abnormal cultivation methods.
Seeing that Xu Wen didn't talk to him, knowing that he didn't matter, everyone withdrew their eyes and continued the topic.
Dean Nordin asked them to create a successful mercenary group, and the secret of success is nothing more than the level, fame, and strength of the mercenary group.
After tossing and turning with the four-star and five-star demonic beasts outside for a few days, the general situation has been understood, and the problem of cooperation and tacit understanding during the battle has been almost solved, and now, it is time to officially cultivate and experience the life of the mercenary who licks the blood with his knife head.
"The hard surname task will be done when we come back, first complete the difficult task set for us by the Blood Mansion, and raise the level of our Soul Slayer Mercenary Group. ”
"Knock knock!"
When He Chen said this, he suddenly found that the 'Evil Wind Breaking Ape' was hammering the tree trunk with a rhythm familiar to everyone, and he was shocked, and hurriedly closed his mouth, and a group of people looked at the face of the Silver Moon Proud Dragon who had already begun to communicate with the Evil Wind Breaking Ape at the same time.
After a few seconds...... The Silver Moon Dragon opened its eyes, a faint suspicion flashing in its eyes.
"It's not Warcraft. ”
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard the Silver Moon Dragon continue to explain the discovery of the Evil Wind Ape: "The Wind Evil has just detected that a team of mercenaries is coming from that direction, seven people, not slow, and will meet us in about three minutes." ”
"Which direction?"
Sakchi looked slightly surprised at the direction pointed by the Silver Moon Dragon, which came out of the White Mist Mountains in the deeper part of the White Mist Forest.
In other words, the seven people who were about to collide with them were mercenaries who had completed their mission and came down from the White Mist Mountain Range with the intention of leaving?
"Monitor closely and report the situation in a timely manner. ”
A voice suddenly rang out from the corner.
Everyone followed the prestige, and Xu Wen didn't know when he had stopped cultivating and stood up, looking at the direction of the White Mist Mountain Range with worry in his eyes.
"Deputy Regiment ......"
The Silver Moon Dragon could hear the caution and vigilance implied in Xu Wen's words.
"Listen to Captain Xu. ”
He Chen patted the Silver Moon Dragon on the shoulder.
The latter nodded, and put his hand on the body of the Evil Wind Breaker.
Lei O, Erin, and the others looked at Xu Wen with a strange look in their eyes, in the Warcraft Forest, it should be a common thing to encounter mercenaries, right?
Half a minute passed...... The Silver Moon Dragon suddenly opened his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at Xu Wen:
"Deputy Commander, they stopped. ”
"How far?"
"About 400 meters. ”
Xu Wen's brows twitched slightly, four hundred meters is the sensing range of a six-star mage, it seems that the other party has discovered the camping ground here.
"Keep probing. ”
He Chen said.
Normally, two teams that don't know each other meet in the forest, and one of them is the team that has completed the mission and is ready to return, usually reluctant to make a fuss, and will choose to leave as quickly as possible.
A detour is the best option!
Of course, it is not inevitable that other reasons may arise.
But if the other party chooses to continue, they must be vigilant...... It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Less than ten seconds passed...... Silver Moon Jiaolong's face turned ugly, and he lowered his voice to report: "Regiment Leader, Deputy Regiment, the breath of one person in their team has disappeared, and the other six have stopped in place. ”
A profession came to everyone's minds at the same time...... Thief.
"Let the wind evil come down, everyone be vigilant!"
He Chen's face changed slightly, and he gave a resolute order, and a group of people held the weapons that were placed in the position of touch.
The fire in the camp was still dancing and warm, but no one could feel it, only that the night had become much colder.
...... In the darkness of the White Mist Forest, the six of them quickly waited for the return of the thieves.
"How's it going?"
In the hazy black shadow, two rows of slightly white teeth suddenly appeared strangely, and they flexibly closed one by one:
"As you expected, all of them are four-star level faces, only one is five-star, and they are all very immature, and they look like the mercenaries of the Blood Mansion who have just come out of school. The voice was low and hoarse, with a faint smell of blood.
"Blood Mansion Freshman?"
In the darkness, the speaker hesitated slightly:
"Are you sure it's the team?"
"If there is a mentor, I can't not notice it, twenty-one people, the oldest is no more than twenty, and the temporary camp they have made is good, and the spirit is also very good, it seems that there is some understanding, the mentor has completed the task and left. ”
"Oily water?"
The voice was very cold, and it belonged to another person.
"The four girls are all very good-looking, and the others are young men with fine skin and tender flesh, and their weapons and equipment are relatively neat, and they are certainly not poor children. ”
"Hehe, if there is a woman, I want all the women, don't rob me, grandma's...... Recently, I've been busy working, and I don't have time to open meat, so I'm suffocating Lao Tzu. ”
"Get out of here!"
The thief opened his mouth and scolded.
"You two, if you don't succeed here, you will have more than enough failures, and you will want to give me something extraneous when you are about to return to the city? The old man's voice carried a little majesty and unquestionability, and the cloak was raised, revealing a thin, wrinkled old face.
The thief was the first to disappear, and the five men followed the old man towards the camp.
The moment before coming to the campsite, He Chen and the others had already put on a posture of being ready for battle, defending against magic, fighting spirit, all turned on, and looked at the six people who walked into the fire one after another, bringing a dangerous aura to everyone.
The composition of this team is very peculiar.
A mage, a warrior, two swordsmen, an archer, an old man in a robe who doesn't seem to have an obvious profession, and finally a thief who hides in the shadows.
There were a total of seven people, except for the old man in the robe, whose cultivation was suspected to be seven stars, and the other five in front of him had all reached the six-star junior and intermediate level.
The six people all had a very uncomfortable aura on their bodies, and the most disgusting thing was the one at the back who was more than two meters tall, with a silver gaze, constantly sweeping around several girls.
He Chen originally wanted to say a few words to them, but when he felt that the other party walked straight over and inadvertently revealed an unkind look, he immediately stopped hesitating and shouted:
"Stay, several! This is the camp of the Soul Slayer Mercenary Group, and it is inconvenient to receive everyone! Please do not approach casually! Otherwise, it will be regarded as an invasion. ”
"Bai Xi! Prepare to launch a signal rocket and notify your mentor. ”
"Yes!
The last two sentences are deliberately said to the other party.
"Oh, interesting. ”
"When did the White Mist Forest become the backyard of your group of hairy children, and no one was allowed to pass by?"
Two of the six people came out, and it was the two swordsmen, and the tall guy was among them.
"Wait. ”
The mysterious old man stopped the two people who were about to do it.
raised his terrifying old face, swept around the twenty-one people in the camp, and his eyes were slightly on Lei O's body, and finally settled on He Chen's face who spoke:
"Are you the new students of the Blood Mansion?" the voice was gentle, giving people the feeling of a kind old man.
"That's right!"
He Chen nodded and replied.
In his opinion, it would be best not to have a conflict, and he felt that this terrible-looking old man seemed to be the only normal person in this team, and if he communicated well and avoided fighting, everything would be fine.
"They are all young and promising children, when did you enter school?"
"Seven days ago. ”
"Tsk, yes, yes......" The old man's voice became more and more kind, and his wrinkled and thin face seemed less terrifying to everyone.
"Who is your mentor?"
As soon as the words fell, He Chen subconsciously opened his mouth to answer, but was suddenly awakened by a sharp voice, and the red signal flare pierced the sky above the forest.
He Chen and the others woke up from a dream, recalling the nightmare feeling just now, and a cold sweat broke out:
"You're a dark mage!"
With a bang, the fighting spirit of several warriors was full of energy, and the swords were tense, pointing at the six old men.
The old man's face turned cold in vain, his kind face was a little colder, and his eyes locked on the only young man in the camp who was not affected and fired a signal rocket to interrupt his magic, and hummed from his nostrils in disbelief:
“...... Unexpectedly, the old man also had a day when he looked away. ”
