Chapter 21: The Fate of the Mercenary

[Stone Wilderness Underground Passage].

A dark wind swept through the eerie underground passages.

The darkness of the earth was filled with a terrifying roar mixed with a disgusting putrid smell that raged and spread in the icy air.

There was no light, no life, only the dull rustle of footsteps against the ground.

"The tunnels are intricate, you can easily get lost without a map, be sure to follow me closely and don't get too far away from me. ”

Wang Tiedan cautiously crossed a platform, turned his head and told the female mercenary behind him to pay attention to safety.

Due to the urgency of time, he took the female mercenary to the [Stone Wilderness] directly through the teleportation array, preparing to complete the task of [Saving Master Kane] within three hours.

Ash clenched the big bow in his hand, followed vigilantly, and whispered, "Don't worry, my lord, I've been following me." ”

She couldn't remember how many times this was the first reminder, but she didn't expect that the inheritor who had come to [Camp Rog] in hundreds of years cared so much about herself, and she couldn't help but feel a strange warmth in her heart.

For hundreds of years, the female warriors of Rogge have played the role of meat shields or bait, providing security for adventurers, and sometimes even risking their own lives to protect adventurers, at best they are personal bodyguards, and at worst they are female mercenaries who can be abandoned at any time.

This is the fate of the female rogers, and it is also their duty.

She never expected that the new inheritor would not want her to explore the path in front of her, nor would she need to attract the demons of hell, as long as she kept following behind and constantly reminded her to pay attention to safety...... Compared to the rumored adventurers, this Lord Iron Egg is exactly what the Kasha leader said - he is a true warrior!

Thinking of some of the sisters who followed the adventurers out on an adventure and never returned, Ash couldn't help but shed tears of sadness, if only she had met adults earlier, the sisters might have come back alive......

The path to the Dark Forest in search of Enifus is fraught with unknown dangers.

Through killing monsters and exploring along the way, Wang Tiedan had an evaluation of the mercenary Ash behind him in his heart-

This mercenary is not only beautiful, but also very good-looking. The archery is accurate, and there are no arrows in the dim crypt, and he can solve the cunning [Little Sinking Demon] in a few clicks, which can be called a fighter in a beautiful vase, and his strength and courage impress him.

The most important thing is that Ash is a magic archer with dual attributes of ice and fire, and the bow and arrow shot in his hand have a strong freezing effect, which can delay the monsters' action and attack speed after hitting the monster, and then two more 'flame burst arrows', you can easily take the agile [Little Sinking Demon], and she is a good auxiliary female mercenary.

Men and women match, work without getting tired.

With her cooperation, Wang Tiedan's killing monsters was as fast as flowing water, and the efficiency was nearly one-third faster than usual, which made him look at Ash with a little 'hungry and ruthless' eyes, and he couldn't wait to speed up the horsepower to overthrow him to the ground......

Ahem...... Far from it.

I believe that today, with the cooperation of the mercenary Ash, she will definitely be able to rush to level 10.

............

The black forest stretches as far as the eye can see, and the whole world is shrouded in a terrifying night.

There was a black drizzle in the sky, and the air was filled with an icy chill.

In the black forest, a bunch of [Sinking Demons] waved the machetes in their hands, lined up around the bonfire, and danced the bonfire dance.

In the middle of the bonfire stood a thick pointed wooden stake, on which was skewered the incomplete corpse of a female Roge, the sharp wooden tip pierced the chest of the female Rogue ****, and the red blood splashed down the wound on the ground, staining the burned black earth under his feet.

"Ahh......h Wooka......"

The Demons of the Sinking Spirits shouted excitedly around the fire, scolding words that no one understood.

Just as they pushed each other and were ready to have lunchβ€”

Woohoo!

Chilling ice arrows burst out of the dense forest, striking the unsuspecting little demons.

The demons who had been shot by the ice arrows let out a miserable wail, and fell to the ground like a raging wind sweeping over the stumps and crumbled into a slag of ice.

The calm was shattered by a sudden sharp arrow, and the remaining [Sunken Demon] let out an exclamation and fled in panic with short thighs as matchsticks.

Sting!

A two-handed axe burst out of the darkness, spinning wildly in the air, smashing into the monster pile with the cold light of death, mercilessly harvesting the stunned and fleeing demons.

"Scolding the people next door, you hateful monsters, actually made Lao Tzu's 'little baby' cry, and all the miscellaneous people will be sent to labor and management to go back to hell!"

Wang Tiedan rushed out of the dense forest angrily, wielding the big axe in his hand and slashing again and again, chopping up the man-eating demons in front of him. Crazy slaughter, in less than a minute, except for the stumps and severed arms in the surrounding area, there was no longer a complete little demon, and even the [Sinking Mage] who was holding a cane and playing with fireballs was split in half by a sharp axe.

"Sister Lina...... Is that you......"

Ash walked out of the dense forest with a sad expression, muttering quietly, and when she saw the female Rog who was nailed to the stake, she could no longer suppress her sadness and began to cry bitterly.

Wang Tiedan was also very sad in his heart, and hurriedly walked over.

It was a very young female Rogue warrior, dressed in the most common rough leather armor, with long fiery red hair, and a delicate and beautiful appearance...... At this time, her skin was almost ****, and her snow-white skin was covered with countless wounds, obviously because she had been inhumanly abused and tortured before her death......

"O great god of light, Sister Lena is a brave female Rogue warrior, may you bless her soul to ascend to heaven......" Ash knelt in front of the stake and wept silently, "she is here for everyone to come out and find food...... We were on a mission together last month, but I didn't expect her to ...... Woohoo......"

Listening to Ash's sad cry, Wang Tiedan was also angry.

Traveling back and forth through this dark game world, he has always only regarded this place as a place to fight monsters and upgrade his strength, and in his subconscious, he still treats it as a realistic live game.

It wasn't until the game was upgraded that all the NPCs came to life and had their own intelligence and character, until he met Ash, a brave and flesh-and-blood mercenary, and it wasn't until this moment, looking at the shocking corpse in front of him, that he realized that he seemed to be wrong. This [Diablo] game world is no different from the world he is in, this is no longer a cold game to fight monsters and upgrades, but a real world that can no longer be real.

In the face of a deceased loved one, only a person with flesh, blood and affection can be so sad and sad.

"Ash, the deceased is gone, don't be too sad, if Sister Lina has a spirit in heaven, I don't want to see you so painful and sad. ”

Wang Tiedan reached out to help Ash, who was crying on his knees, and comforted her.

This female mercenary with archery skills like a god and a heroic posture is as fragile as a little woman who needs a man's care at all times, which makes Wang Tiedan's heart full of desire to protect her. The crying back and slender waist have been deeply imprinted in his heart, like a stone breaking the long-dull lake, causing ripples that cannot be calm.

Time is of the essence, and there is no time to linger too much.

Wang Tiedan dug a big pit in the cold ground with the big axe in his hand, buried the body of the female Rogge, and set off again towards the destination 'Enifus' sacred tree.

At this moment, Ash's expression, which was closely behind Wang Tiedan, changed, his eyes were full of tenderness, gratitude, and a little joy, and his heart also had some more expectations.

"The fate of our female Rog warrior is destined to be miserable, but following him, I seem to feel that the future is full of hope......"
