Chapter 3: The Monster Hunter (Part I)
"Ma'am, according to reliable information, the fortress you are heading to is being invaded by a large number of monsters. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWe can make sure you get there safely, but there's a high chance that the fortress will be lost. So I ask you to think carefully, if you turn back now, I can only charge half of the fee. ”
"Captain, you can't break the rules just because the client is a beautiful woman! ”
A giant bird flew smoothly in the night sky, and a total of 6 people sat on the back of the bird. Five of them wore the same style of clothing and wore their own weapons. Among them were a middle-aged woman, a gray-haired old man, and three young men.
Beyond them, there was a woman in a brown robe, though her entire body was tightly covered except for her face. But those clear and flawless eyes and lovely appearance are enough to attract the attention of many men.
This person is Ye Ling, the highest authority in the birthplace at this moment, but disguised as an ordinary woman with an evolution level of only level 9.
"That being said, the remuneration given by this lady is already ridiculously high, even if it is only half of it, it is higher than the normal category. A burly man explained that he was the leader of the team, named Yang Qin, a level 14 evolutionary.
"Whatever, but that beauty doesn't seem to be interested in you. On the sidelines is a fashionably dressed young man, whose blond hair always makes him the first target to be discovered. However, people can't look good, such a frivolous man, his strength has even reached level 12.
The remaining three people didn't seem to be joining in this conversation, the old man closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, the woman was lying on the back of a bird humming a little song, and one person sat quietly on the side, occasionally peeking at Ye Ling with a puzzled gaze.
But the quietest person along the way was Ye Ling, who never spoke except for explaining the tasks and rewards. Captain Yang Qin and the yellow-haired boy nicknamed Taka accosted several times in vain.
Compared with what Yang Qin said now, and giving a half-price discount, he actually only wanted to win Ye Ling's favor. Yang Qin is by no means a person who forgets his principles when he sees a beautiful woman, but the feeling that Ye Ling gives him is not as simple as the introduction says.
Yang Qin's team, known as the Hunter Regiment, is a group that appeared after the Doomsday War, similar to a mercenary group. The team is made up of powerful evolutionaries, who are usually not affiliated with any organization, and travel from fortress to fortress to earn revenge by fulfilling other people's commissions. Sometimes, they would hunt down monsters that roamed the wilderness and sell the materials they obtained to the fortress, which is where their name comes from.
For the commission of an escort, the hunter group usually will not accept it. For most people, the wilderness is a dangerous place, but for the Hunters, it's the real battleground. Therefore, accepting an escort commission with little to no danger is seen as a sign of timidity by peers.
Of course, there is a more important reason, that is, there is too little money, and less danger means less reward. A slightly worse team might accept it, but a hunter group like Yang Qin, with an average level of 13, would rarely accept this kind of commission. Because for the same amount of time, they can hunt monsters to earn more gains.
But money can make ghosts grind, and when Yang Qin saw that Ye Ling's commission actually used a piece of blue quality ore as a reward, he also threw the so-called face behind.
It's just that Ye Ling is far less thorough than Ye Heng, and he didn't think that people who have blue quality items usually have the strength of the planet intermediate or above. An evolutionary who is only level 9 can easily become the target of others with such a valuable thing.
Of course, Ye Ling was not worried about any danger at all.
"Do you have what it takes to stop those monsters?" Ye Ling finally responded to them this time.
Ye Ling opened his mouth once, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, even the old man who was pretending to sleep couldn't help but open his eyes.
"Yes, as long as the pay is high enough, the tower can take you in. The woman seemed to smell the money and hurriedly responded.
The fortress that Ye Ling was heading to was exactly where it was, and with Yang Qin's strength, they had the ability to block those monsters. The piece of ore that Ye Ling gave them before was enough as a reward, but the woman seemed to treat Ye Ling as a wronged boss and wanted to take the opportunity to slaughter him fiercely.
"How much?" Ye Ling didn't fail to see it, but this little thing was completely like dung to her. It is not a metaphor, but the ore as a reward was picked up in the land of abundance.
"Ten times the previous pay!You know, guarding a fortress is not the same as escorting......"
"Well, take it!"
Before the woman could explain, Ye Ling had already taken out a small bag from her robe and put it on the bird's back. This made everyone present completely dumbfounded, originally they thought that women were a bit of a lion and opened their mouths, but who knew that these things were not worth mentioning in the eyes of their employers.
The woman hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the cloth bag and looked at the 10 gems that glittered inside. Not only was it not satisfied, but the greed in her heart was even more inflated, and what she wanted to do most at this moment was to take off Ye Ling's robe and see how many treasures she still had.
"Old man, you can make a fortune this time. But what is the origin of that girl, could it be that kind of woman?"
"It's possible, a level 9 evolutionary will definitely not be able to get so much aquamarine ore, but it's better for Ah Mei to refrain from it, in case she really has any origins, we can't afford the consequences. ”
The old man and the man whispered to each other. Nowadays, the amount of wealth is directly proportional to strength, and it is impossible for a first-level evolutionary to have a huge amount of wealth, and even if he does, he will be quickly snatched away. Ye Ling was able to come up with so many precious ores, and the old man only thought of two conclusions with a relatively high probability. One is to betray the hue, after all, it is not difficult to do this with Ye Ling's appearance. Or maybe it's some special ability that makes it easy for him to get those rare ores.
Anyway, no matter how you think about it, you wouldn't think it had something to do with the Nativity Tower.
"Actually, you don't need so much, the one you gave at the beginning is enough, those monsters are nothing to us. Yang Qin completely ignored the angry glare of the woman in the team and told Ye Ling the truth.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can make sure that the fortress doesn't break. Ye Ling's answer finally relieved the woman, and then immediately hid the bag in her hand in her backpack, for fear that Ye Ling would have to go back.
After that, Ye Ling fell silent again, as if she was thinking about something. The people of the hunter team had to do something after taking the money, and they discussed the battle plan while there was still some distance from the destination.
Just as they reached the sky above the fortress, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed below.
