Chapter 3: The Red Moon Wolves

Shaking his head, Curry came to the old land dragon who walked by, took out another set of clothes from the large box on its body, and changed out of his current soaked clothes.

Aside from the black magic cloak, Curry's outfit was fairly ordinary, with burlap shirts and trousers, and a pair of brown leather boots. Because a traveling merchant like him, it doesn't matter what he wears, it's just practical, and in addition, he has a magic cloak outside, and he can't even see his face clearly, so he doesn't care what outfit he wears.

"Let's go, Lombard, let's see if this business is a loss, if it's not too much of a loss, let's help them. ”

Jumping onto the back of the old earth dragon, Ke Rui patted its neck, pointed to the west, the old earth dragon immediately roared softly, and the thick dragon legs rushed towards the direction pointed by Ke Rui, the speed was not slow, worthy of Ke Rui's evaluation of "old and strong".

"A wise businessman knows how to amass wealth for himself at all times, both tangible and intangible. And this is especially important for our traveling merchants who walk all year round. Do you understand what I mean?"

Echoing his father's words, Curry closed his eyes and took a light breath, shaking his head with the usual smile on his lips.

......

The red-haired girl "Sisi" stood on the roof of the carriage, her eyes scanning around, and her good-looking brows were wrinkled together.

By this time their group had stopped their advance, and formed a circle, and a large circle of flames rose in the outermost part of the circle, forming a wall of fire that protected most of them, except in the direction of the north, there was no fire at all. One is because it wants to save fuel, and the other is because the missing piece attracts the attention of those things outside and keeps them from jumping over the wall of fire, which would be useless if that happens.

Moreover, through this gap, the mercenaries within the wall of fire can also carry out some counterattacks, so as not to be too passive.

This method is only possible for leaders who are experienced enough and brave enough to do it, and the average younger mercenary does not have such a reflex at all.

Most of the mercenaries are in a stalemate with the outside at the gap in the wall of fire, and a small number of mercenaries are scattered around the wall of fire to keep the wall burning and prevent things from jumping in and attacking.

And at this moment, a middle-aged man in a luxurious robe suddenly jumped out of the remaining carriages except for Siss, with a little anxiety on his face, walked to Sith's carriage, raised his head and said in a gloomy tone to Sith on the roof of the carriage:

"Miss Sith, I have something to ask you. ”

"Oh?"

Sith, who was concentrating on scanning the peripheral situation, lowered her head when she heard the middle-aged man's words, glanced at him casually, then raised her head, and said without moving while scanning the situation:

"Mr. Bernard has anything to say, please hurry, I'm a little busy right now. ”

This casual attitude obviously annoyed the middle-aged man known as Berna, but he was in no mood to care about it for the time being. Looking back at the ghostly red eyes that shook outside the walls of fire, and the hoarse howl that sounded like it came from hell, Berner felt a chill run through his heart.

Struggling to calm himself down, Bernard took a light breath, looked at Ciss, and asked in a slightly softened tone:

"Miss Sith, I just want to ask, what is the current situation, is our situation safe, and when will we get out of it?"

Listening to Bernard's words, Sith glanced at him and suddenly giggled:

"Mr. Bernard is really worried about his own safety. Hehehehehe......"

The laughter was as nice as a silver bell, but it sounded a little harsh to Berner. He looked at Ciss with a gloomy face, waiting for her reply, which he knew would surely be.

"The mercenary's rule, the employer must answer any questions he has, and he must be accurate, so I won't lie to you, Mr. Berner. ”

Jumping out of the car, Sith clapped his hands and looked at Berner, with a smile in his eyes: "Our situation is very not optimistic. ”

"What besieges us is an ordinary beast called the Red Moon Wolf on the Ace Prairie, which does not belong to the Demonic Beast, but the number is amazing, every time it appears, it is tens of thousands, and the place it passes is basically like a flood transiting, for humans whose strength is below the level of a high-level warrior or a great magician, it can be treated as a natural disaster. ”

"Red Moon Wolf ......"

Looking at Bernard's suddenly pale face, Siss's eyes couldn't help but swell up with a smile again, and at the same time shook his head in his heart and sighed, how could the gap between the two generations be so big.

"That'...... In that case, will we still be able to rush out alive?" Bernard's lips were a little dry, and his eyes looked at Sith unblinkingly, expecting her to give an affirmative answer.

But he was doomed to disappointment.

"It depends on the will of God, the Red Moon Wolf is just an ordinary beast, greatly affected by the laws of nature, and likes to rest during the day and come out to hunt at night. There is hope if their numbers do not increase to the point where we cannot resist them before dawn, but if they are too numerous, and when they reach a certain point, our walls of fire will be useless, and we will have to flee for our lives by our own means. At the end, Ciss shrugged and put on a look of impotence.

Suddenly, Bernard's face became even more ugly, he stared at Sith, and asked with some anger:

"Is this how you Red Maple Mercenary Regiment are responsible for your employers? Why can't even our small fleet of trucks protect you! Let me tell you, if something happens to us, the Vance family will never let you have a good time!"

Berner said this mainly because he was afraid that the team of mercenaries would really throw him off and run away by himself, and scare him in advance, hoping to improve the possibility of survival. He also knows that the mercenary's task is to protect them, but it is not to the extent of giving them their lives, money and life are important to fools, but he is afraid of death, he still has a lot of things to enjoy, he doesn't want to die here!

"Hehehe......"

Hearing Bernard's threatening words, Sith chuckled twice, wiped his hand on his body, and took out a knife out of nowhere, first picked his nails carelessly, and then turned cold, stretched out his hand and grabbed the clothes on Bernard's chest, and with a "bang", he pressed his whole person to the carriage next to him, and the strength of the car shook in a flash.

"You ......"

Before the frightened Berner could say anything, the knife in Sith's hand had been gently pressed against his neck, and as long as he moved around, the throat could be cut at any time!

Looking at Bernard, whose face was as white as paper all of a sudden, a smile appeared on Sissy's face again:

"Mr. Bernard, I don't want to hear something like that a second time, understand?"

Sith's voice was soft, no different from usual, but to Bernard's ears it was like a cold wind, which made him shiver fiercely. Looking at the undisguised coldness in Sith's eyes, Berner realized that no matter whether Sith's knife was against his throat or not, the lives of him and the whole team were now in the hands of Sith, and turning his face with Sith now was no different from looking for death!

"Uncle, it's too dangerous outside now, why don't you stay in the carriage?"

Just when a big cold sweat was pouring down Bernard's head and he couldn't say a word, the calm young man's voice suddenly sounded without warning, instantly attracting the attention of the two.

At some point, a young man stood in the open space between the wall of fire and the carriage, looking at them with half-closed eyelids and a little tiredness, his gaze unusually quiet, as if he had no feeling at all about the comical scene in front of him.

At first glance, the biggest feeling of this young man is that he is thin, thin and small, so thin that his head looks a little bigger, as if he is not well developed, and then what catches people's attention is that on the left side of the young man's face, there is a red scar that crosses one vertical and one oblique, and the vertical scar is almost a finger long, almost crawling over half of his face.

In the darkness, the young man's calm gaze and the crossed red scars on his expressionless face, under the flickering light of the fire, invisibly produced a strange feeling, which not only made Berner's heart twitch, but even Sith felt the hairs on his back "whoosh" stand up.

"Card ...... Master Carris......"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Bernard's voice stammered slightly. It was not because of the same fear as when facing Sith, but because of pure nervousness, which is peculiar to the subordinate's encounter with the real superior, and it can also be said to be the inevitable natural reaction of herbivores when they encounter carnivores.

"Miss Sith, I apologize to you on behalf of my uncle, and ask you to put him down. ”

Before the two could say anything more, the boy known as Karis looked at Sith and said quietly. The words were straightforward, there was no nonsense, and after speaking, he stood there motionless, looking at the two quietly.

"If you look at him again, you'll have nightmares at night!"

With this in mind, Ciss snorted softly and let go of the hand that was holding Bernard.

Bernard, who was put down, wiped the cold sweat from his head, looked at Karis, stepped forward, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Karis:

"Uncle, as I said earlier, it's dangerous outside now, please go back to the carriage. ”

"Master Carris......"

"Do you need me to repeat it again? ”

“......”

Seeing that Karis had not looked into his eyes, Berner finally closed his mouth and walked towards his carriage in a huff.

"Oh, if nothing else, I like your way of talking. Looking at this scene, Sith clasped her hands to her chest, chuckled, and said.

"I just don't want to talk nonsense. Karis looked at Sith, "It's you, Miss Sith, it's the first time I've seen a mercenary like you who is so unkind to your employer." ”

"It's the first time you've dealt with mercenaries, don't think I don't know, you've been staying in the Oskar Empire before this, and you haven't been out of the house for more than ten years, so you're pretending to be old!"

Hearing Karis's words, Sith snorted.

When Karis heard this, he just smiled, didn't say anything more, turned around, and returned to the carriage.

Sith looked at his back, and her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled slightly:

"Strange ......"

......

"Heh, the situation is much better than I thought, it seems that the leader of these mercenaries is a seasoned fellow, experienced and knows how to improvise. ”

On a towering hill a few miles east of the besieged Ciss group, Curry lifted his hood, looked at the eye-catching ring of fire under the night sky in the distance, and the large dark cloud-like shadow outside the ring of fire, stroked his chin with his hand and groaned, his eyes flashed slightly:

"Red Moon Wolf......
