Chapter 2: Tribal Difficulties

After all the battles were over, a mercenary warrior hurried over and saluted Han Fei respectfully: "Thank you for your help, our Flame Rose Mercenary Group will not forget your help." ”

"Huh..." He looked at Han Fei, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Are you Han Fei, the young master of the Han family?"

"You know me?" Han Fei couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The mercenary warrior standing in front of him looked like he was about forty years old, tall and resolute, with a long scar on his cheek, and the badge of the mercenary group and the second-order samurai on his left chest, which did not seem to exist in Han Fei's memory.

"My name is Hurd, and I'm the captain of the Seventh Sentai of the Flame Rose Mercenary Regiment. The samurai explained: "I used to see you when I went to Han Kee Martial Arts Shop with the regiment commander to buy weapons, but now that you have grown up a lot, I almost can't recognize you." ”

"I see, then how can you fight with them, don't you have any other support team?" Han Fei asked.

A mercenary group also has at least a combat team of hundreds of people, and there are thousands of warriors and samurai, and the Flame Rose mercenary group is also somewhat famous in Xishui City, and there are not a few members.

Although it is not said that the more people who go into the forest to hunt spirit beasts, the better, because too many people will only scare away spirit beasts, but the general mercenary group will split into several or even a dozen teams, keep a certain distance from each other, and can contact each other through special methods to support each other when necessary, so ordinary adventurers do not dare to trouble the mercenary team.

Speaking of this, Hurd's face showed a bit of bitterness: "We have seven teams entering the Wuthering Forest this time, we first found a second-order blue-eyed fire tiger, in order not to alarm it, so we didn't notify the other teams to follow it here, but as soon as we killed it, this group of adventurers appeared to sneak attack, and we sacrificed three companions." ”

One is to be careful, and the other is that he may be greedy for merit! Han Fei knew in his heart, of course, he would not break it.

At this time, the mercenaries regrouped, treating their respective injuries while thanking Han Fei, although they escaped death, but the death of the three companions still made them feel sad, and the spiritual law disciple even wiped his tears and sobbed quietly.

Hurd split the head of the Blue-Eyed Fire Tiger with his sword, dug out a fiery red spirit crystal from it, wiped it clean, and sent it to Han Fei: "Young Master Han, we really have nothing to thank for, this spirit crystal..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Fei waving his hand: "Captain Hurd, you should keep this spirit crystal, you don't need to say more words of thanks, it would be good to have the opportunity to take care of our martial arts shop business a little more in the future." ”

The spirit crystal dug out of the head of the Blue Eye Fire Tiger was of good quality, at least worth a few hundred gold coins, but Han Fei didn't value it, compared to establishing a good friendship with the Flame Rose Mercenary Group through this matter, and at the same time enhancing the reputation of the Han family among the mercenaries, it was much more valuable.

"I still have something to do, Captain Hurd, we will see you again when we have a chance!" Without waiting for the other party to say anything more, Han Fei turned around and left and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Hurd, who didn't expect Han Fei to react like this, was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly showed gratitude, and he shouted at Han Fei's back: "Young Master of the Han family, Hurd will always remember your kindness!"

With this spirit crystal, the bereavement of the three fallen teammates will be much richer, which is the real comfort for their families, and how can they not let Heard thank Han Fei from the bottom of his heart.

Leaving the woods, Han Fei quickly reunited with Han Weier, and the two left together.

According to Han Fei's thoughts, he should have returned directly to Xishui City immediately, and the two consecutive battle encounters made him feel a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

However, Han Wei'er wanted to go to the Wild Bear Tribe again before leaving the Wuthering Forest, and she was satisfied with just a few sneaky glances outside. Han Fei could fully understand her thoughts, anyway, it wouldn't take much time to go around the Wild Bear Tribe, so she agreed.

In full force, on the afternoon of the next day, the two approached the valley where the Mad Bear tribe was located.

"Huh, Brother Han Fei, what do you see that?" asked Han Wei'er suddenly pointing to the air in front of her.

Han Fei looked up and saw that through the sparse canopy of trees, he could clearly see a few wisps of black smoke curling up from the mountains, which was where the Wild Bear Tribe was located.

An ominous premonition suddenly surged into Han Fei's heart.

Not only Han Fei, but Han Weier also seemed to feel something, her pretty face suddenly turned snow-white, and her running pace involuntarily accelerated a lot.

The two of them sped through the woods one after the other, and in a short time they came to the grassland beyond the valley.

Their fears were immediately confirmed, and the corrals that had been rebuilt in the steppe were gone, the fence at the mouth of the valley had been destroyed, and a broken tower had collapsed in half, and it was clear that most of the houses in the tribe had been burned, and a few of them were still emitting black smoke.

And the people of the Wild Bear tribe are not a single one!

"Grandpa!~" Han Wei'er shouted in a lost voice, rushing towards the valley like an arrow from a string, Han Fei was afraid of any accident, so he hurriedly performed light skills, and several leaps and falls rushed ahead of her and entered the valley.

The valley that was once bustling with the Bears tribe is now dead silent, not a single living creature in sight, only the burned-out ruins.

Han Fei rushed towards Elder Ebu's residence, and all the way through, there were traces of fierce battles everywhere, and the ground was full of bloodstains and broken weapons, but there was not a single corpse in sight, revealing a bit of weirdness.

The door of Elder Ebu's wooden house was open, and there was no one in the empty living room, Han Fei rushed upstairs to take a look, but the result was of course disappointing.

When she went downstairs again, Han Wei'er was rushing in from outside, looking at Han Fei's eyes full of hope, and Han Fei shook his head at her.

"Grandpa!~" Uncontrollable tears burst out of her eyes, and the girl cried and threw herself into Han Fei's arms.

Han Fei couldn't help but sigh, and gently patted her on the shoulder and comforted, "Maybe your grandfather is fine, but he was just taken away, I will definitely find a way to send someone to find it." ”

Having said that, Han Fei didn't have any bottom in his heart, there was no doubt that the Wild Bear Tribe had been attacked by the enemy, and none of the corpses killed in the battle were missing, either taken away or buried nearby, and the other party was obviously a veteran who didn't want to expose the traces of clues.

Could it be that which mercenary group did it? If it was an adventurer, it would not care about this, but this idea was quickly denied by Han Fei, because no matter which mercenary group would do such a stupid thing, the relationship between the beast race and the human race has always been good, many mercenary groups have been helped by the beast clan when they venture out in the forest and hunt spirit beasts, and the mad bear tribe is not rich, and there is no oil or water to fish.

Or is it the Heavenly Spirit Clan?All kinds of thoughts swirled in Han Fei's mind, but he couldn't find any clue, he couldn't help but think of the situation when Elder Yibu entrusted Han Wei'er to him a few days ago, and now that he thought about it, it seemed to have a little bit of a meaning to be alone.

Could it be that Elder Eevee had anticipated such a catastrophe and had entrusted Wei'er to his own care, so since that was the case, why didn't he leave with the tribe early to escape?

Han Fei's brows were twisted into three verticals, and Han Wei'er in her arms gradually stopped crying.

Putting all his doubts aside, Han Fei said softly: "Sister Wei'er, you go back to Xishui City with me first, I will entrust a mercenary to investigate this matter, I believe that your grandfather will be fine, and we will definitely be able to find him." ”

Han Weier nodded vigorously.

.........

In late spring and early summer, Xishui City was as prosperous and lively as ever, but unlike previous years, there was a bit of tension in Xishui City at this time, and there were obviously more city guards patrolling the streets.

Han Fei, who had returned to Xishui City with Han Wei'er, obviously felt this strange atmosphere, many groups of adventurers and mercenaries came and went in a hurry, as if something big was about to happen.

It was the first time in her life that Han Weier had come to a human city, everything in Xishui City made her feel very new, and the pedestrians shuttling through the street made her instinctively feel a little afraid, and she couldn't help but pull Han Fei's arm tightly for fear of losing it.

The most obvious symbol of the beast on her body, the furry tail has long been wrapped around her waist and covered by leather armor, although this makes her body shape not look so wonderful, but there is no doubt that there is not much difference between becoming a very ordinary Terran girl, but her beautiful face still attracts a lot of admiring eyes, but it is also in the normal range.

In order to let Han Weier get familiar with the environment in the city as soon as possible, Han Fei did not rent a carriage to travel, but took her around.

There are also many orcs in Xishui City, and Wei'er is smart and can speak a lingua franca, and the fear of coming to a new environment quickly disappears, and even the worry about Elder Eevee in her heart has been alleviated a lot.

After walking around the city, Han Fei did not return home immediately, but took Wei'er to the mercenary union first.

The mercenary union in Xishui City is located in the eastern district, and its building scale is second only to the Holy Church, and there is an endless stream of mercenaries who come here every day to hand over tasks, and there are also many people in need who come to commission them, as long as they have enough money and it is not against the principles of mercenaries, they can ask for anything.

Han Fei's entrusted mission was of course to investigate the truth about the destruction of the Wild Bear Tribe, and he handed over the spirit crystals he got from the lightning python to the guild as a reward for the mission, believing that this generous reward was enough to make many mercenaries excited.

When Han Weier understood what Han Fei had done, there was a little more gratitude in her eyes.

"Now, let's go home!" Han Fei said to her with a smile.
