In the sky, there was a dense layer of clouds, and the whole sky looked gloomy, which seemed to be a precursor to wind and rain.

The terrain of the Blue Wild Forest is more tortuous, Rao is familiar with the road, and Lucio took Chen Rui for nearly five hours before he arrived at the said poisonous place. It is a mountain forest, with dark plants and rugged terrain, and along the way you can see many white bones, mostly human, buried in the soil and fallen leaves.

Lucio's pace slowed down, his face became more and more nervous, and he lowered his voice extremely cautiously and said: "Lord Richard, we have entered the territory of the lion and scorpion, and we may be detected at any time, if you want to set a trap, you can't go any deeper." ”

"Set a trap?" Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, revealing a thoughtful look: "I want to confirm first, there are definitely lion scorpion eggs in that fierce poison cave?"

"The lion scorpion in the Fierce Poison Cave is a male and a female, just three months ago, the Agni Squad encountered a female lion scorpion that was about to lay eggs, except for two who escaped by chance, the rest were killed by the male lion scorpion. Lucio's tone was gloomy with empathy, "Counting up, the lioness scorpion should have successfully laid eggs, and Pastor Mana is a member of the Church of Light, and when he heard the news, he immediately offered a reward." Despite the high pay, the task was so difficult that even the strongest Holy Feather mercenary group in the town didn't take it. ”

The territory of the Yangshao Kingdom is not very vast, but it is quite famous in various countries. The founder, Robben, was a mercenary and led a mercenary group to create a miracle in the founding of the country. The Yangshao Kingdom is relatively relaxed in the management of mercenaries, giving mercenaries a lot of free space, and is known as the country of mercenaries. One of the three general associations of the Mercenary Guild is located in the royal capital, and the other two general associations are located in the Longhuang and Lanyao Empires.

Gudan Town is not an important town in the Yangshao Kingdom, but the strength of the mercenary branch is not weak, according to Lucio, the Holy Feather Mercenary Group is a Sombra-level team, and the leader Da Xiwen is close to the holy level. The rest of the team members are all extraordinary, especially with tacit understanding, and they are also well-known in the entire mercenary world, so they don't dare to take on this task.

In fact, everyone understands that it is not that Shengyu cannot complete it, but that the price that needs to be paid is too great, so they are unwilling to take it.

Chen Rui looked at the cave in the distance and continued to walk forward: "Since it is certain that there are lion scorpion eggs in the fierce poison cave. So let's go. ”

"Oh. As soon as Lucio answered, he immediately felt that something was wrong, "Ahh......h

"My lord, at least one of those two lion scorpions is close to the holy level, and the talent of the demonic beast is strong. The combat power is even higher than that of humans of the same level......" Lucio was in a hurry, and before his voice could be suppressed, he heard a roar in the distance, forcing the spearman's legs to weaken. I almost scared the hell out of peeing.

I saw a long figure flying out of the cave in the distance, flapping its wings and rushing towards it. Lucio didn't expect to alarm the terrible beast so quickly, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and a nightmare that had plagued him for a year reappeared in front of him.

The spearman desperately told himself to run, but his limp feet were as heavy as lead, and he could only hold the handle of the spear in his hand, which had lost the tip of the spear. As if this was the only thing that could be caught.

The terrifying beast grew closer, accompanied by a roar that had once made Lucio unforgettable. The scene from a year ago reappeared in my mind, with demonic ghostly figures, sharp claws, figures of fallen companions one after another, and blood-red eyes......

Heavy breathing rang in his ears, some kind of blood that he had once thought had cooled from decadence burned, fear was covered with another anger and hatred, and the spearman clenched the weapon in his hand, which could only be called a stick. He let out a loud roar that he couldn't believe, and stabbed forward with all his strength.

This is since that incident. The most powerful shot Lucio ever stabbed was probably the Zuihou of his life. Lucio didn't know that he would do this, perhaps it was just an almost instinctive reaction, and most importantly, he had already done so.

Suddenly, the spearmen saw the light, shining like the sun in the gloomy jungle, without the warmth of the sun, only an indescribable destructive force.

By the time Lucio came to his senses, the light was gone, and the wing-flapping nightmare was gone.

The spearman looked in amazement at the stick he had stabbed...... Is this the power of one's own shot? Joke, it's definitely not possible!

Suddenly, Chen Rui's figure had appeared in front of him, with three oval things suspended in his hands, these three things were about thirty centimeters long, the shell was gray-brown, and there were stripes of white textures.

"It's ...... Lion scorpion eggs?" Lucio still maintained the posture of spear stabbing, but he looked extremely stiff, how could this be? If the previous nightmare had passed, then the scene in front of him was another dream?

"Okay, you can go back. The other party's reaction was flat, as if the three eggs were laid by ordinary poultry, not the eggs laid by the terrifying Warcraft Lion Scorpion.

Lucio threw down his gun, smacked his thigh, and finally came to his senses—not a dream, it was real!

To be able to ...... in such a short period of time, unscathed

Lucio's gaze at Chen Rui was no longer fear, but another kind of complete awe on the spiritual level.

Saint-level powerhouse!

Lucio bowed deeply, this general etiquette was somewhat similar to the Demon Realm, except that the part of the hand was slightly different, the Demon Realm was placed on the abdomen or heart, and the left and right hands were at will, while the ground etiquette was to put the right hand on the left shoulder.

Recalling that when he was in the mercenary union before, he had a careful idea of using Redbeard's Liliang to deal with "Richard", Lucio couldn't help but secretly embarrass himself: not to mention killing him, even if it was to kill Redbeard Rotan, the other party would not have to make any effort.

"It's my honor to meet such a strong person as my lord! These two lion scorpions are the greatest scourge of the Blue Wild Forest, and at least three hundred mercenaries have died at their hands, including my former companions, and no words can describe my gratitude and respect for my lord. ”

Chen Rui shook his head slightly: "I can kill them today, and someone stronger can kill me another day." The so-called calamity or grudge is, in the final analysis, nothing more than the law of survival, natural selection, survival of the fittest. In a way, I'm also a weakling, as a weakling. It's not that you don't have the power to survive or move forward to become stronger, but the premise is that you don't give up that power, you know?"

Lucio nodded and said with a wry smile: "I actually understand this truth, and I may be able to understand a little more now, if...... Adults can give me a chance to live. ”

"Oh?"

The spearman hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "I have something to confess to my lords. Adults should have been practicing in some hidden place for many years. Don't ask about the world, in fact...... This period of time is a bit special, even if the adults get the mercenary badge, they arrive at the Longhuang Empire from the Yangshao King. Nor can it be to the White Cliffs. Because after a while it will be the day when the Temple of Light selects the Templars, now the White Cliff has begun to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter except for the relevant personnel. It will not reopen until the Templar selection has been completed. Believers are allowed to enter the worship prayers. ”

"Templar Selection?" This news really surprised Chen Rui, "How long will it take to lift the lockdown?"

Lucio replied respectfully, "The selection of the Templars is held once every fifty years, and it is said that there are various trials and competitions, each of which lasts about two to three months. ”

Chen Rui's brows furrowed tightly, his time was only five months. In addition to obtaining the Sherdalee flower, there is also the big burden of a million faith crystals. If the selection of this Templar Knight alone will be delayed for three months, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up later, and I must not be able to wait passively.

"Please forgive me for my ignorance and ignorance. After understanding the other party's strength level, Lucio no longer dared to have any more thoughts, offending a division-level powerhouse and offending a promoted powerhouse were completely different concepts, "If the adult really needs to go to the White Cliff on important matters. If you don't want to make a big deal about it, I have an idea. ”

Chen Rui glanced at Lucio: "Let's talk about it." ”

"Adults can open joints through the clergy of the Church of Light. Try to become a person involved in the selection of knights. ”

"Clergy?"

Lucio nodded, "For example, the publisher of this mission, Pastor Mana." My father had a friendship with Pastor Mana during his lifetime, and I knew that this man had a great desire for power and money. This time, the reward for lion scorpion eggs is definitely not to eliminate hidden dangers for Gudan Town...... In fact, Pastor Mana has long been dissatisfied with serving as the head of the church in Gudan Town, and has coveted the position of Bishop of the Royal Capital for a long time, according to the custom, after the selection of the Templars this time, there will be relevant changes and adjustments in the positions of the Church of Light in various places, for Pastor Mana, it is a long-awaited opportunity, and the lion scorpion egg is likely to be used for bribery. ”

Chen Rui didn't expect the spearman to have this kind of analytical ability, and his eyes lit up: "What do you mean ......?"

"Bypass the union's mission and use the lion scorpion egg directly to follow the path of Pastor Mana. Perhaps, I can help the adults a little. ”

"Your jihua does have reference value, but ......" Chen Rui pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a smile with deep meaning: "Since I am going to enter the White Cliff secretly, then, the more you know, the faster you will die." Since you can think of starting with Pastor Mana, it is impossible not to think of this, you are not afraid ......"

Lucio suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I swore that whoever can kill these two lion scorpions to avenge my companions, my life is his!

Since the previous life-and-death moment struggled to stab that shot, the spearman felt that the nerves that had been numbed by decadence and alcohol seemed to have regained a little sobriety, and it was a great opportunity to meet a saint-level powerhouse, even if this opportunity was in danger of dying at any time, if he missed it, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life.

From the moment he confessed, Lucio was determined to fight.

Just arrived at the new map to accept the younger brother, this kind of bridge is too vulgar...... Chen Rui understands Lucio's intentions, he is too unfamiliar with the situation on the ground, and he urgently needs time now, Lucio is a good candidate to be familiar with the environment, and this jihua is indeed feasible.

"You are wrong, only the dead are the most reliable secrecy. ”

This sentence made Lucio, who knelt down on one knee, tremble, and cold sweat trickled.

"But, Lord Lucio, congratulations, you've made the right bet, and now there's a matter of contract formalities. Chen Rui smiled: "What I want to say to you the most is that your luck value will be S from now on." ”
