Chapter 39: Chance
"Be careful, the Ending Curtain Mountain Range is definitely one of the most terrifying mountain ranges, although our 'Rock Mercenary Group' has been here in this area, but when we come here, it is already the limit, and further down, I am not sure that I can save a few of you. ”
In the bare mountains of the Ending Curtain Mountains, a small team of eight people is walking cautiously, and the people who speak, their eyes are constantly looking around, as long as there is any wind and grass around, he will definitely be caught at the first time, and the hidden crisis will be erased.
Among these eight people, five of them are obviously dressed like mercenaries, their faces are full of wind and frost, and several of them can be seen on their faces from the wounds left when fighting with fierce beasts, they are not only wearing heavy leather armor, the swords in their hands, but also holding them in their hands at all times, and there is no scabbard on their bodies at all.
At the end of the line, a rather thin middle-aged man, holding a bow and arrows, with sharp eyes and flexible movements, climbed the ancient tree from time to time to explore the road, and when he found a place that might be a threat to the team, even if he risked angering a fierce beast, he would immediately shoot the sharp arrow in his hand and throw stones to ask for directions.
Compared with the five mercenaries in the team, who were obviously not weak, a man and two women who were protected by them in the center were obviously a little weak, the young man was better, with a sword hanging from his waist, his face was full of vigilance and vigilance, and he seemed to be a loyal and dutiful guard, but the two girls were obviously a little unbearable.
Not only was the original luxurious and dazzling leather armor black, but even the originally beautiful long hair was also full of messiness, if it weren't for the fact that the body looked quite temperamental, and the saber in his hand was not ordinary, it was almost the same as the refugees in the refugee camp.
"Miss Eli, Miss Nanna, let's go back, the two young ladies have also seen the beast in the past two days, and they should also know that the mercenary is not as chic, comfortable and beautiful as the bard said, our job is to roll on the tip of the sword every day, exchange our surname for food, what is worth experiencing in this life?"
In the mercenary team, a high-level swordsman with the highest cultivation glanced at the two stubborn girls in the team, and said helplessly.
For these so-called nobles, he really felt a little unreasonable, just like the two people in front of him, a good noble lady didn't do it, but actually wanted to experience the life of a mercenary on a whim, enter the deep mountains to kill the beasts to prove themselves, and also hired their "Rock Mercenary Group" into the end of the mountain range, to enjoy the pleasure of hunting the beasts, this kind of behavior simply made these mercenaries a little speechless.
"No, I must hunt a fierce beast with my own efforts, over the years, I have persevered in such hard training, sweating every day to practice swordsmanship, in order to prove myself, now I am a mid-level swordsman who has been awarded medals by the kingdom, but there is no record under the sword, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed. ”
"Yi Li is right, maybe you will think that our actions are a little ridiculous, but our determination to prove our ability will not be shaken by the eyes and opinions of the outside world, Commander Zhuo Yue, please do your duty. ”
The high-level swordsman was directly speechless: "Not long ago, didn't you already kill a fierce beast?"
"That beast was killed by our combined efforts, not by the two of us. ”
"Fierce beasts, in themselves, are stronger than human swordsmen, even if they are mid-level swordsmen who have experienced a hundred battles, they are not 100% sure that they will slash a fierce beast under the sword, and the results of our joint efforts to kill a fierce beast are enough to prove the value of your hard work in cultivating over the years. ”
The girl, Erie, still shook her head stubbornly.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Yue, the head of the mercenary group, had no choice but to say: "Then let's go, however, the dry food we brought is running out, at most one day, we should return to Bishui City, during this period, whether we encounter fierce beasts or not, we should go back." ”
After saying that, he glanced at the archer again, and for a moment, the direction of the team's advance changed slightly, not only did it not go any further, but it was faintly heading out of the Ending Curtain Mountain.
In this area, there were already mid-level fierce beasts infested, although the entire team, including the young swordsman, there were three high-level swordsmen, but once they encountered a mid-level fierce beast, the situation would still be very dangerous, and they had to start withdrawing from the mountain range.
"What's it?"
Just as the team secretly shifted direction and walked towards the outskirts of the Falling Curtain Mountain Range unconsciously, the archer who went to explore the path suddenly shouted loudly, and the bow and arrow were instantly aimed in a direction in the forest.
The whole team immediately became vigilant, and the remaining four mercenaries and the young swordsman immediately shrank the team together, protecting the two girls, Eli and Nanna.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm also a combatant. ”
This scene immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Yili and Nanna, and they were about to walk out of their guardianship one by one and join the battle circle, and for a while, it actually caused some small stirring in the mercenary team.
Fortunately, what appeared in front of their team was not a fierce beast, but a person.
A boy who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
The young man's clothes were a little torn, but there was no embarrassment in the whole person, and he walked out of the jungle like this, ignoring the aim of the middle-aged archer and the vigilance of the entire mercenary group, and passed by the mercenary group like a leisurely walk, as if this was not the extremely dangerous and dangerous end of the mountain range, but the back garden of his house.
In a few moments, the boy had disappeared from the team's view.
From beginning to end, the other party didn't look at the personnel of this mercenary group, as if their entire team of eight people didn't exist at all.
"Whew. ”
Seeing the boy disappear, the middle-aged archer waved his hand slightly: "The guard is lifted." ”
Although the other party is just a teenager, the entire mercenary group does not have any intention of clashing with the other party.
"That young man, so young, he's only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?"
"Could it be that he is alone in the Ending Mountains?
Several members of the mercenary group would not be interested in this sudden episode, but Eli and Nanna were not regular mercenaries, and they couldn't help but be curious about the only person they had met since they entered the mountain range.
"It's a person who has been training in the mountains, and the experience is not short. ”
The one who replied was the head of the regiment, Zhuo Yue: "Although his clothes have been washed, he hasn't changed them for a long time, and his shoes are the same, they are full of the color of rotten branches and dead leaves, as well as the color of his complexion, and there are mostly trees in the Falling Mountains, which are shrouded in dense woods all year round, and it is difficult to see the sun, his complexion is already a little pale, and his body has a cold aura because he has been in the mountains for a long time......"
"This teenager has been in the mountains for at least two months. ”
It was the middle-aged archer who answered.
"Two months?"
Hearing this, Yili couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "He was alone, staying in the mountains for two months?"
"How is it possible, the environment in the mountains is so harsh, not to mention the fierce beasts, even the insects, snakes, ants and rats are annoying, how can he look so young, how can he stay in the forest for two whole months? not eating human food for two months, not communicating with outsiders for two months, staying in such a dark and dangerous forest for two months? This is ......?"
"This is a true cultivator. ”
Zhuo Yue said in his mouth, and there was a faint fear and admiration in his tone: "A person who can survive in the environment of the Ending Mountain Range for two months without dying is definitely a real powerhouse." ”
Fierce beasts are rampant in the Ending Mountain Range, an average day may encounter a fierce beast, a person has lived in the mountain range for two months, let alone an ordinary fierce beast, I am afraid that even a mid-level fierce beast has been encountered, but in this case, the young man actually survived.
Thinking of this, not only Eli and Nanna, but even those mercenaries who have been taking on these dangerous tasks all year round, can't help but have a trace of horror in their expressions.
"That boy is only sixteen or seventeen years old......
"This must be the disciple of a kendo master, otherwise, how could he have such an achievement at such a young age. ”
Several of the other mercenaries whispered.
The two high-level swordsmen and three middle-level swordsmen of their entire mercenary group did not dare to stay in the Ending Mountain Range for a long time unless necessary, but this young man alone had such courage, which naturally made the people of the entire Rock Mercenary Group shake.
Yili looked at the direction in which the young man disappeared, hesitated for a moment, a trace of perseverance appeared in her eyes, and suddenly said: "Let's go, let's go, continue to look for ordinary fierce beasts, this time, Nanna and I, we must rely on our own strength to kill a fierce beast, that young man is several years younger than us can do this level, we must be able too!"
