The waterway behind became more and more difficult to navigate, and the dead trees floating on the river became a serious obstacle, making the advantage of the speed of the boat ride lost, and Odeniz ordered the two rafts to be abandoned and landed on foot to the ruins of Gosas.

Due to the situation of the previous night, the squad acted with extreme caution, and the two archers acting as scouts kept moving around the ranks, ready for battle at any moment.

However, they found no trace of the enemy, and the appearance of the Terran scout last night seemed to be a very fortuitous incident.

In the afternoon, the team finally stepped out of the dense woods, and suddenly the front of them suddenly opened up, and a majestic mountain came into view.

"Turning over the mountain in front of you, there are the ruins of Gosas, and our people are trapped in a monastery not far from the bottom of the mountain..."Gongo, who acted as a guide, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the worry in his eyes became more and more intense: "I hope they are all still there." ”

"We care more about how many enemies there are," Odeniz said lightly.

After the Scout's snooping on the camp, the lion warrior apparently lost trust in the Seme, but he had no intention of abandoning his mission until more danger arose.

A true mercenary must be cautious and fearless.

Looking at the mountain in front of them is not far away, but it took two sandy hours to actually reach the foot of the mountain, and seeing that the sun is approaching in the west, everyone can't help but speed up their pace.

Fortunately, the position of the mountain they climbed was not very high, and the mercenaries were all agile, so they quickly reached the top of the mountain.

Ahead, a huge ruined city lurks quietly in the embrace of mountains and forests.

This is the largest ruin in the First Realm of the Sanctuary and the first ruin of an ancient civilization to be discovered.

Looking down condescendingly, the scale of this ruined city is amazing, the buildings of the mountains converge towards the central square according to a certain law, the streets and alleys are neatly arranged, and the setting sun shines obliquely on those ancient and dilapidated buildings, with an indescribable vicissitudes of life.

Gosas has no city walls, and the vines and plants of the forest can invade its edges with impunity, and many places are covered with dense vegetation, only the ruins and towers still stand unyieldingly, and have never fallen in the face of wind, frost, rain and snow for thousands of years.

It is said that someone once sorted out and translated the texts excavated in the ruins, and found that Gosas City was one of the largest ancient civilizations in the First Realm of the Sanctuary, which contained millions of people and had a brilliant urban civilization.

In fact, Gosas City was built on the edge of the Uncharted Forest, and the southeast of the city was completely plain.

It's just that thousands of years have passed, and the forest has continued to expand and occupy the plain, and it is a complete miracle that the city of Gosas has not been completely covered and swallowed by the great forest.

Today, even adventurers stop visiting this ancient ruin, because every corner of it has been explored, and everything of value is gone, leaving only empty ruined buildings.

"Look, that's the monastery where our tribe is hiding!" said Gongo, looking very excited.

The monastery he was referring to was located northeast of the city of Gosas, a cluster of buildings in the corner of the city, and it was difficult to see inside because of the distance, but one of the blue-black towers stood out.

"It's going to get dark!" said the old lion Gooch in a deep voice, "Shall we go over?"

"No!" Odeniz shook his head, "Let's not get too close to there yet, let Fei Li and Kaka go over and have a look first, find out the situation, and at least understand who our enemy is!"

"But..."

Seeing that the destination was ahead, the Divine Blade froze, and although he knew in his heart that Odeniz's decision was the right one, Gonggo could not hide his anxiety.

"There's nothing to do!" Odeniz categorically interrupted him, staring directly at the other party: "You have to remember that I am the captain, and all actions must be under my command!"

Gonggo bowed his head and remained silent.

The two archers quietly disappeared into the forest, while the rest of the Divine Blade team hid nearby.

In order not to reveal their tracks, the team did not set up camp or light a campfire, and patiently waited for the return of the two scouts.

As the sun sets and night falls, darkness covers the land, but when the moon rises, the white moonlight casts a hazy veil over the towering mountains and the ruins of Gosas, and the night becomes even more enchanting.

The first secret realm of the Sanctuary has four seasons and night, but there is only one moon at night here, which is more like Leon's original world.

After waiting for a long time, Fei Li and Kaka returned safely, but the female archer's face was very bad.

"Trouble!" she whispered, "That monastery is surrounded by Terran adventurers, and they have set up camp at the foot of the mountain, and our enemy is not a mercenary army at all, but a mercenary group of at least a hundred!"

"There are their guards on the mountain, but they are not very well guarded, but luckily we were careful not to be detected. ”

Mercenary group! Odeniz's face changed suddenly, a mercenary team is no more than a dozen people at most, compared with a mercenary group of hundreds of people, the gap is not ordinary.

If the other party is a mercenary group, then the Holy Blade has no chance to escort the Semu tribe to the Savage Fortress, in fact, their actions to come to the ruins of Gosas are more like killing themselves.

If the Terran mercenary group finds out that they appear to attack, I really don't know how many of the ten people here will be able to go back.

"I'll do it!" said Old Lion Gucci, who couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

This time for the escort mission, he took the initiative to ask Odeniz for help, and he thought that he could easily earn a vote, but he found that the difficulty of the task was far more difficult than expected.

Gucci is really embarrassed and angry, as an old mercenary, he was actually tricked by a lustful native, fortunately things have not reached the worst, otherwise he really has no face to face Odeniz.

A fierce glint flashed in Odeniz's eyes, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed Gongo's neckline, and shouted in a low voice: "You dare to deceive us, we will give up this mission, if you want to die, you will go alone!"

Although his voice was lowered, his anger could be clearly felt by everyone.

According to the rules of the mercenary union, if the employer has deceived beforehand, then the hired mercenary can completely abandon the task in the middle of the process without any punishment.

Gongo was stunned by Odeniz's sudden outburst of rage, and Nono was speechless.

"Let's go, go back to the Savage Fortress!" Odniz hated and threw the Coloreye on the ground, "We're out of luck this time!"

Gucci, who was standing behind, looked embarrassed, and even Leon was a little embarrassed, after all, he was the one who told the old lion about this task, and he didn't expect it to be such a result.

"Lord Odeniz, please listen to me..."

Seeing that the mercenaries turned to leave, Gongo, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly came to his senses, rushed over and hugged Odeniz's thigh.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you, there were really only a dozen of them when I came, so I was able to flee to the fortress for support!"

He cried with tears in his eyes, and looked very pitiful: "How do you know that there are so many people now, please save my tribe!"

Odeniz shook his head: "Even if you didn't lie to me, but now that the enemy is a mercenary group, it is impossible for us to defeat it." ”

After a pause, he continued, "But you can go back with us and ask the garrison for help, if they are willing to send a warband or raise the bounty on the union side, maybe your tribe can be saved." ”

This is the greatest mercy that Odeniz can give to the other party, and if it is replaced by other short-tempered mercenaries, it will be considered light to fan Gonggo's two big mouths.

Gonggo gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Lord Odeniz, I'm afraid it's really too late to go back, if you can help my tribe get out of the predicament, in addition to the conditions originally agreed, we are willing to take out an ancient holy artifact inherited from the clan in return!"

The name "Ancient Hallows!" seemed to have magical powers, and everyone was stunned.

The four clans of the mainland entered the sacred realm to venture and explore, and the most precious trophies obtained from the secret realm were not magic cores or rare materials, but all kinds of magic weapons, horcruxes, and magic weapons unearthed from the ruins of ancient civilizations.

The birth and development of the Douqi, magic, and soul technique and soul art civilization of the four clans on the continent largely benefited from these ancient relics.

These artifacts with special castes also have high and low levels, some may be worthless, some may be priceless, and some may be priceless, among which the holy artifact is its high-level title.

If a mercenary is lucky enough to obtain a useful artifact in the Sanctuary Realm, he can either gain more power or squander his fortune for a lifetime.

It can be said that unearthing a holy weapon is the ultimate dream of most of the Sanctuary mercenaries.

As for the highest artifact, it was not at all something that mortals should have.

It's just that after hundreds of years of exploration, almost all the known ruins in the first secret realm of the Sanctuary have been explored, and unless new ruins can be discovered, it is completely impossible to find the holy artifact.

But now, how could the mercenaries not be shocked that a man of color had said that his tribe had an ancient holy weapon and was willing to take it out as a reward.

"How do we know that what you say is true?" Leon suddenly asked, "Besides, you are not the chief of the tribe, can you fulfill the conditions you promised?"

"Also, why did the Terran mercenary group deal with your tribe, and how did they find you?"
