Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Ruins
Before he could react, dozens of fire spirit snakes bit his body in red lines, dragging him into the cave, and the mercenaries hurriedly retreated in shock, only to see a red wave gushing out of the cave, which was a wave composed of thousands of fire spirit snakes.
"Don't panic, everyone, form a fighting formation. As soon as Nix gave the order, all the mercenaries at the swordsman level reflected, gathered together, and desperately stimulated the fighting spirit, and then, the fighting spirit resonated, and a fighting spirit cover protected the people in front of them. Immediately afterwards, several fighting qi arrays were formed, and after getting the amplification of other mercenaries, the mercenaries above the swordsman level, like a sharp knife, led the mercenaries to cut a hole and advanced towards the cave.
Although there are not a few mercenary groups of swordsman-level masters here, there are still some of them, and the swordsman-level masters will naturally not have much effort to deal with these third- and fourth-order fire spirit snakes, and the low-level demonic beasts that are outflanked from the two wings will not cause much casualties to the mercenaries on the two wings, but the real crisis is not outside the ruins, but in the ruins.
Li Tian followed the crowd into the cave, to be honest, there were not many who could rush in front of Li Tian, although each was stronger than Li Tian, but there were many people next to Li Tian, and one person and one knife solved all the fire spirit snakes.
But after entering the cave, the situation has changed, the narrow cave is not a terrain where the number of people can play an advantage at all, but because of the crowding of people, dozens of fire spirit snakes will sneak attack, and even some mercenaries fall directly into the hidden snake cave, and there is no life after screaming.
I don't know how long it took, Li Tian felt that the team had finally stopped. Nix looked at the dozen caves in front of him, although the map recorded that each cave could reach the destination this time, but these caves not only had traps, there were sneak attacks from Warcraft, and the space was even narrower, and many times, the worst thing to be a mercenary was not to die at the hands of Warcraft and enemies, but to die at the hands of his own Pyg teammates.
The Pigmon is similar to the pig on the earth, but it is much larger than the pig, the whole body is red, the sex is lazy and greedy, it belongs to the lowest order of the first order of the Demonic Beast, and the meat is delicious, but the reason why the Pigmon is famous on the continent is not because of its flesh, but because the Pigmon has a god-like skill, that is, pit teammates.
There was once a fledgling hunter who was chased by a Pigbeast, but when another Pigbeast joined, the Pigbeast actually fell and hit the body of the other Pigbeast directly, and the hunter did not use a knife, but he harvested two Pigbeasts, and the Pigbeasts often killed their own kind and themselves because of such and such accidents, so when the mainland scolds people for being stupid, they often say this: "You have eaten Pig's brain." ”
Although the Knicks are very relieved of their subordinates, they are not at ease with the weak mercenary groups that want to make a fortune behind them, and they have lost some of their subordinates just now, but it is not their own reason, most of the losses among these people are caused by the mercenaries behind them breaking into their team in a panic.
So in order to reduce the loss, the Knicks stood up and said loudly: "Mercenary brothers, passing through the cave in front is our destination, and more than a dozen passages in front can reach our destination, but we can't all squeeze into one hole, that's impossible, so we have to enter those passages separately, everyone has no opinion." "No, that's for the best. The mercenaries chimed in.
The reason why the mercenaries all agree is because if they are all squeezed together, it will be difficult for the people in the back to grab good things, no matter how urgent it is, it is useless to block in front, but it is different when they are separated, as long as the speed is fast, there will definitely be a lot of gains at that time.
Nix led the people of the Tiger Mercenary Group to form a formation into the passage, and the other mercenary regiments also followed suit, forming a formation and entering the selected passage, after all, their own people get along day and night, and the tacit understanding is far beyond that of outsiders. A powerful mercenary group can enter the passage alone, while a small mercenary group with little strength can enter several mercenary groups together.
For example, the passage that Li Tian walked was entered by three mercenary groups together, and one of the three mercenary groups was the Fox Hunting Mercenary Group, Li Tian vigilantly looked at the red spirit snake that drilled out from time to time around him, and joined forces with other mercenaries to kill this magical beast, but he didn't notice a surprised gaze behind him.
"Commander, that kid named Li Tian is not dead yet. A sharp-eyed mercenary whispered to Robert, "Oh. Robert looked at Li Tian in the direction pointed by the mercenary, "Hmph, it's a big life, but I'm going to die soon." ”
Li Tian concentrated on dealing with the Red Spirit Snake, but he didn't notice that the crisis was gradually coming, Li Tian held the sword in his hand, and kept slashing and killing, although the constant crises everywhere made Li Tian busy, but because the mercenaries next to him continued to help Li Tian, he didn't hang the color.
"Poof. Li Tian felt the sound of a sword entering the flesh behind his ears, Li Tian turned his head to see that a red spirit snake close at hand was killed by a middle-aged mercenary next to him, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head and said gratefully to the middle-aged mercenary: "Thank you, big brother, I will definitely repay you for your help." "Hahaha, boy, you have too little experience, it's better to come to this kind of place less, as for repaying, there is no need to repay, mercenaries should help each other, after all, no one knows if they can survive to the next moment." For this reason, Li Tianyu quickly became enthusiastic about this middle-aged man, and he also knew the story of this middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man's name was Muse, and he was originally just a proper farmer, but the local officials occupied all the 100 acres of farmland he had worked so hard to open up with the explanation that all the land belonged to the state, and he had no way to ask for help, and was constantly threatened by the official, and finally fell into another place and became a mercenary.
"Doesn't anyone care? Li Tian asked in surprise, "Tube." The middle-aged man showed a wry smile on his face and said: "I also went to sue the officials to protect each other, but I was beaten out without even entering the gate of the Judicial Yuan, that kind of place is not a place where civilians like us can go." ”
"Young man, you have to remember, in life, you can't offend people, I used to have a fellow villager, because he offended others, his sister never came back after she went out, someone has been staring at their house, and there is a person I know, because he offended others, he was beaten to death, alas. The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, his face full of embarrassment.
Li Tian and the middle-aged man chatted while walking, and unconsciously slowly fell to the back of the team, suddenly, a fourth-order fire spirit snake suddenly came out of the shadows and slammed into Li Tian and the two, and the muse was dragged into the snake den without any resistance.
