Chapter 50: The Crisis
"It's getting late, so let's get here for today's practice. Ye Qian looked up at the sky and said.
At this moment, it is already sunset, and under the afterglow of this sunset, Ren Xiaoyao is unremittingly practicing the "Nine Overlapping Waves" technique. Sweat dripping the back of his coat and covering his cheeks.
"Boom......"
Like a red bolt of lightning, the Red Star Boomerang was sent out from Ren Xiaoyao's hand, penetrating a big tree directly, and under his lure, it obediently flew back. This is the result of Ren Xiaoyao's hard work in the afternoon.
Wiping a handful of sweat, Ren Xiaoyao smiled with satisfaction. Whether it is penetration, attack speed, attack distance, or the concealment and suddenness of the attack, the Nine Overlapping Wave technique combined with the Red Star Boomerang is perfect. has such a killer feature, which is enough for him to have one more choice and one more secret weapon when fighting.
"Okay, that's it for today. I don't know where Brother Ye is going tonight? I recently met a friend, it's quite interesting, why don't we go for a drink together?" Ren Xiaoyao put away the Red Star Boomerang and said. The friend he was talking about naturally meant the mysterious and strange Ah Sheng.
Ye Qian shook his head regretfully: "No, Brother Ren, in the past ten days, I have been immersed in forging, and the things in the Starfall Mercenary Group have piled up. I'll go back tonight and take care of the affairs of the group. ”
"It's fine. Where exactly are your mercenary group stationed, and why have I never heard of the name 'Starfall Mercenary Group' in Starfall County for more than ten years?"
Ye Qian smiled mysteriously and said, "We, the small family and small temple of the Starfall Mercenary Group, naturally don't dare to make a noise in the Starfall County City. To tell you the truth, I built the mercenary group in a barren mountain outside the city, and few people knew about our existence except for the people of the group and a few forces that cooperated closely. ”
When Ren Xiaoyao heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head and praise secretly. Ye Qian is really a steady guy, now his mercenary group is not strong enough, if it is put on the surface, it is likely to be squeezed out by other forces. He hid the mercenary group in the mountains, and when the force became stronger, he would not be afraid of other forces. Hidden for a while today, a blockbuster in the future! This is Ye Qian's plan.
Starfall County, the city gate faces northwest, and out of the city is a wasteland. Moving on, there is the famous Red Flame Forest in front of you, and after passing through the Red Flame Forest, you will see the Western Liang Kingdom on the west side, and the Great Meng Kingdom on the east side (directly north of Starfall County).
It's just the general environment outside Starfall County. In fact, in this area, where the wasteland meets the eastern part of the Red Flame Forest, there is also a nameless hill. There, there were no star beasts, only some beasts that were not very powerful. Because of the distance from all three countries, few people go there.
Ye Qian's Starfall Mercenary Group is stationed there, there is no shop in front of the village and no store, it looks extremely desolate and remote, but it is a good place to secretly develop power.
"Brother Ren, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go with me to the mercenary group. Since the last time you gave me star-striped steel, my brothers and sisters have known about it, and they all have great respect for you, and they are eager to see you as a great benefactor. ”
Invited by Ye Qian, Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved. At present, although his status in the Ren family has improved, he is not a blood relative of the Ren family after all, and his status cannot be higher than Ren Huwei and Ren Humeng. And according to the memories of his previous life, I am afraid that the group of white-eyed wolves of the Bai family will soon implement their secret plan and make a move against the Ren family! Although Ren Xiaoyao is confident, with his prediction of everything, coupled with his father, a master of the Star Realm, he is enough to deal with all variables, but if there is a not weak force as the backing, there will undoubtedly be a lot more protection.
Right now, Ye Qian and his Starfall Mercenary Group are a suitable force.
"Well, I'm fine anyway, so I might as well come with you. ”
Saying that, Ye Qian led the way in front first, and the two walked east together along the periphery of the Red Flame Forest.
......
"Ahead is the mountain gate of our mercenary group. Hehe, although this mountain is not high, there are several natural caves, and I relied on these caves to find people to build some habitable houses. It's not luxurious, but it's hidden. Ye Qian pointed to a barren ridge in front of him and said with a smile.
Ren Xiaoyao followed his fingers and looked into the distance, and in front of him was a green hill. At first glance, there are no buildings in sight, but if you look closely, you can see smoke rising from the mountains and forests in the evening glow. It was dinner time, and it must have been the brothers of the mercenary group who were cooking on the fire.
Seeing the destination, the two couldn't help but speed up their pace, at this moment the sky was already gray, and due to the distance, the mountain gate of the mercenary group also seemed very blurry.
"Ping Pong ......"
As we approached, the sound of metal colliding became clearer and clearer. Obviously, the voice came from the direction of the mercenary group. Hearing these voices, both of them had a bad premonition in their hearts, and when they heard the shouts of killing, they became even more anxious.
"Oh no, is there something wrong in the group?!"
Ye Qian let out a loud cry, turned from trotting to galloping, and rushed towards the shouting and killing in front of him. Ren Xiaoyao didn't say a word, unfolded at full speed, and followed closely behind Ye Qian.
When they came closer, the two finally saw the truth clearly. At the foot of the barren ridge where the Starfall Mercenary Group is stationed, there are nearly 100 people at this moment, and they are fiercely slaughtering!
Some of them attacked from the bottom up, and there were fifty or sixty people, occupying the numerical advantage. These people are all wearing black armor, obviously belonging to the same force, they shout to kill the heavens, the momentum is extremely strong, and there is an unstoppable momentum. Especially in this group of people, there is a particularly burly guy, holding a steel giant axe more than one meter long, opening and closing, extremely powerful. Moreover, on the body of this giant man, there is a trace of blood-colored star power light, showing his strength - Guiding Star Realm!
It can be seen that this giant man is the leader of this group. And his strength should be the first time he has entered the Star Attraction Realm, because although there is blood-colored light on his body, the light above the giant axe is dim. Obviously, he hadn't yet reached the point where he was able to introduce his star power into his weapons with ease.
On the barren ridge, there were thirty or forty people, all of whom were Ye Qian's subordinates.
They condescendingly sniped at their opponents, gritting their teeth in resentment, eager to crush each other's bones and scatter ashes. But obviously, whether in terms of personal strength or numbers, they are at a disadvantage, and if it weren't for the terrain, I am afraid they would have been defeated long ago.
On the ground, there were already several corpses, all of which were Ye Qian's subordinates. And many of those who fought were already wounded. But the remaining thirty or so people were all fighting hard, and none of them retreated.
"Brothers, kill!Haha, this group of blind guys dare to set up a mercenary group on my Huang Bahu's territory, and they are simply looking for death!"
The giant man shouted excitedly as he wielded a giant axe and chopped off an opponent's arm with a single axe.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qian's eyes were already red, and his eyes were about to split. Those who fell to the ground were the forces he had worked so hard to cultivate, and they were also his brothers who fought side by side! At this moment, his brothers were like a herd of lambs, besieged by wolves, constantly tormented!
"Huang Bahu, die!"
Ye Qian shouted angrily, jumped out, and at the same time pulled out the long knife on his waist and slashed at Huang Bahu. This knife, with all of Ye Qian's strength, contained his endless anger and impact, and fell quickly.
When Huang Bahu heard the sound and quickly turned around, Ye Qian had already approached. However, Huang Bahu did not panic at all, but laughed loudly: "Good come!"
At the same time, the giant axe in his hand was horizontal, facing Ye Qian's long knife.
"Ping!"
After a violent impact, Ye Qian's powerful impact was completely dissolved, and his body also retreated rapidly under the violent recoil, staggering several steps on the ground before supporting his body with a long knife. On the other hand, Huang Bahu's body only trembled, and he didn't even take a step back.
Ye Qian of the Body Refining Realm struck with all his might, but was shocked back, and Huang Bahu of the Star Refining Realm looked extremely easy with a block with his hand.
At the first shot, the judgment is made!
"Haha, what kind of thief are you, with the strength of the physical refining realm, and dare to argue with your Grandpa Huang?" Huang Bahu beat Ye Qian away and shouted proudly.
"Huang Bahu, Lao Tzu is the leader of the Starfall Mercenary Group! You came to commit crimes for no reason, kill my brother, and today I swear to take your dog's life!" Ye Qian was so angry that he gasped again and again, and his anger was overflowing.
"Just you, a little hairy boy, still want to kill me?" hahaha......" Huang Bahu laughed wildly, and was very disdainful of Ye Qian's cruel words. "It's ridiculous that a mere hairy doll in the body refining realm is embarrassed to form a mercenary group!Okay, since you are the leader of this mercenary group, then I will play with you and let you see the strength of the leader of the first mercenary group in Starfall County!"
Huang Bahu said, jumped up, jumped straight down the barren slope, and came to Ye Qian's side.
Ye Qian was also not afraid, raised his long knife, and took the initiative to slash forward again! Although he knew that the other party's strength was stronger than his own, he knew very well that the other party had brought so many people to destroy his mercenary group, and today's situation was already endless, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation. In that case, just fight to the death!
At this moment, Ye Qian's greatest unwillingness was not his own life, nor the future of the Starfall Mercenary Group. As a mercenary, it was a day when the knife licked blood and the blade rolled on the blade. Since embarking on the road of mercenaries, Ye Qian and his brothers have already looked down on their lives - their heads have moved, their bowls have big scars, what's the big deal! Big deal, they will be a good man again after eighteen years!
The only thing Ye Qian regretted at this time was to bring Ren Xiaoyao here. If Ren Xiaoyao lost his life because of this, he would be too ashamed of him.
So when he was fighting with Huang Bahu, Ye Qian didn't forget to glance behind him, wanting Ren Xiaoyao to leave. However, when he looked, he found that Ren Xiaoyao had long since disappeared.
"Hehe, just go. Brother Ren, I don't blame you, it's better to be alive than dead!" Ye Qian laughed secretly in his heart. He thought that Ren Xiaoyao should have seen that the situation was wrong, so he fled directly. He doesn't mind this, after all, the current situation is that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and there is no life or death. Ren Xiaoyao is not a member of the Starfall Mercenary Group, so there is no need to follow him to death.
However, has Ren Xiaoyao really escaped?
Of course not!
As early as in his previous life, Ren Yao, who had experienced a hundred battles, didn't know what it meant to be afraid. For him, death has been experienced a long time ago, and there is no fear at all! In the face of countless strong men, he still dares to fight and kill many enemies, but at this moment, in the face of a few mercenaries, how can he escape.
Just now, when Ye Qian rushed out, Ren Xiaoyao wanted to hold him, but Ye Qian rushed too fast, and Ren Xiaoyao didn't have time to react. After Ye Qian rushed out, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't act rashly. At this moment, it is indeed a critical situation, and the enemy greatly exceeds his own side in terms of strength and numbers. In such a situation, you need to have a good strategy.
