The enraged mercenary clenched his weapon.

The distance between the two sides is now less than two steps, and with his own reach, as long as he makes a move, the iron ball with a thrust will fly to the head of the guy who is talking wildly!

The next moment the bastard who looked down on him would fall in a pool of blood, regretting what he had done before.

However, just before he was about to make a move, the mercenary with the flail in his hand hesitated again.

Obviously, the guy in front of him didn't do anything, just looked at him quietly, but for some reason, it made him feel extremely dangerous in his heart, as if he was being targeted by some fierce beast!

The mercenary with the flail in his hand doesn't think he's really just a soft-bastard who scares people with his loud voice and fierce looks, as Jude says.

In fact, his hands were stained with the blood of the same kind, and there were quite a few of them.

Because of this, he was able to sense the impending danger in advance!

The mercenary with the flail in his hand couldn't say why, he just had a strong premonition that once he really waved the flail in his hand, the only thing that awaited him was death.

That's why he hesitated.

In the eyes of outsiders, I saw the mercenary rushing to Jude's eyes with a menacing attitude, but then his movements seemed to be frozen, maintaining that posture of teeth and claws, but he didn't make a move.

A perfect interpretation of Jude's previous evaluation of him.

The mercenary with the flail in his hand just stood there, his face swollen to the color of pig liver.

Jude didn't even look at him, and turned to the little mercenary and stretched out his hand, whose face was also ugly, as if he couldn't understand why his companion was so cowardly, and backed down at the last minute.

However, he finally took out three gold cohens from his body and silently placed them in Jude's hands.

Jude took the coin, weighed it twice, and grinned, "Okay, you two can get out!" ”

After saying that, he looked at the rest of the group, "Does anyone else want to leave?" ”

“…………”

No one answered.

The little mercenary's expression changed several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, and pulled the embarrassed and self-conscious companion back to the place where he had sat down and rested.

However, his gaze did not leave the man with the horrible scar on his face, his eyes kept rolling to the bone, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After dinner, most of them, except for those who were going to keep vigil, followed the example of the three lizardmen, and found a nearby tree to climb up and start resting.

Although there is a risk of falling off while sleeping in a tree, it is not much of a risk compared to lying on the ground and feeding poisonous insects, and you must know that the night is the busiest time for the swamp.

Moreover, even if there are really people who sleep dishonestly, they can tie their bodies to the branches.

In the second half of the night, it happened to be the turn of the little mercenary and his companion to be on duty at night, and the two of them were woken up by the shift changer, and then came to the campfire.

They sat there for a while, patiently waiting until the two mercenaries who had been keeping vigil before were asleep, then they looked at each other and stood up.

Walking towards the tree where Jude was sleeping, the two of them tried to take their steps as lightly as possible, but they only walked a few steps before they were spotted by the black beauty in the tree, and their eyes were full of wariness when they looked at them.

Seeing that the two were still approaching, the big black dog also showed his teeth, looking like he was about to pounce on the tree.

But the next moment, a big hand stretched out from behind and rubbed its head, and the black beauty's tense muscles gradually relaxed.

"It's okay, I sat there in the afternoon, those two cowards didn't dare to do anything, and now it makes no sense that I suddenly have courage!" Jude's voice rang out slowly, "Say, what are you looking for me for?" ”

Being called a coward, the little mercenary and his companion looked very embarrassed.

But they were also worried about how to wake Jude without alarming the others, and seeing the other party wake up on his own saved them a lot of effort.

The little mercenary walked over and said in a low voice, "Actually, it's still a daytime thing, we don't want to continue the expedition, we plan to go back." ”

"Then you can go at any time, your legs are on your own, and I didn't stop you." Jude said.

The flail-tapped mercenary interjected, "But without a guide, we can't get out of this swamp." ”

"Then it's none of my business, everyone else has something to do, but I don't have time to take care of you." Jude finished and lay back down.

However, the two men under the tree did not leave.

The little mercenary continued, "When I was at Fort Teacup, I heard that there was another team that had entered the swamp before us, and that team was made up of elite warriors from the Arias family, and it was said that the knights were leading the team.

"But I've heard they didn't end well......"

Jude sat up from the tree, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "What do you want to say?" ”

The little mercenary took a deep breath, "The Arias family has never said what that monster in the swamp is, but these days we have also found some traces of activity left by that thing, no matter what it is, judging from the footprints, it is obviously not small, and the destructive power is also amazing."

"Actually, we weren't the only ones in the team who regretted taking this order, but most of us didn't know how dangerous it was, so we're still hesitating, but if I told them what happened to the previous team......"

This time it was Jude's turn to be silent, and after a while, he added, "What do you want?" ”

"A guide who can take us away."

"And a hush money." The mercenary with the flail added.

"How much do you want?"

"Thirty gold coins."

"You think too highly of me, I only have three gold coins in my belongings, and I just won them from you."

"Then give us your dog."

"Excuse me? I didn't hear what you just said. ”

"I said then give us your dog, it looks quite majestic, bring it to Black Rock City, someone should pay for it, it can be worth ten gold coins."

Demon Museum

"At least fifteen, and if you find a rich connoisseur, you should produce more." The little mercenary commented.

"Interesting." Jude moved his shoulders, "I only have one question left, does anyone else know about it besides you?"

"How can I promise that after I send you away, no one else will jump out and threaten me, after all, I only have such a dog."

"No one else knows." The little mercenary said, "Send us away, and you won't have to worry about it." ”

"Good. That's the answer I wanted. Jude drew his axe from his waist and leaped down from the tree, slashing at the head of the flailed mercenary.

The tomahawk cracked open his skull directly, and most of it didn't enter his head, which shows how ferocious this cracker is!

Then the ugly-faced man smiled at the stunned little mercenary on the side, "You shouldn't have come to me behind anyone else's back, let alone try to snatch my dog." ”

The little mercenary finally came to his senses, intending to wake up the others by opening his mouth and screaming while Jude's tomahawk was stuck on top of his companion's head.

But the next moment, a black shadow burst out of the darkness and bit him on the throat!

The little mercenary only felt a sharp pain in his neck, and tried to speak again, but he couldn't say a word, his vocal cords had been torn off by the big black dog.

Jude pulled out the tomahawk at this time, wiped off the brains on it, and retracted it to his waist as if nothing had happened.
