Chapter 59: The Mysterious Enemy (I)

Although the treasure map looks very old, the depiction of the Tiandang Mountains is very clear, and hundreds of peaks of all sizes are drawn in detail, and the red cross that Carlo said is at the foot of a high mountain in the center.

Carlo pointed to the map and said, "We're in this location now." Although we did not encounter any obstacles today, you all feel that this operation may not be too smooth. ”

Gatling nodded and said, "It's too quiet, it's terrifying." Even in winter, there should not be a single animal in this mountain, but since we entered the mountain, we have not encountered anything, as if something invisibly controls the mountain. ”

Carlo nodded and said, "What worries me the most is the backlash encountered by the magic of the technetium wizard today. ”

"Yes, it's not volcanic," said Blossom, but I had to say it at the time. ”

Nian Bing's heart moved, and her opinion of Hua Rui suddenly changed greatly, this amazing-looking deputy head was not as simple as it seemed, it turned out that she also knew that it was not a volcano, so she must have said that at that time to stabilize people's hearts.

Carlo's gaze turned to Nian Bing, "Nian Bing, do you have any opinions?"

Nian Bing thought for a while and said, "I have only one thought, which is to evacuate here and give up this mission." ”

Gatling snorted coldly and said, "Are you scared?"

Nian Bing smiled indifferently and said, "Afraid, if you are afraid, why not be afraid if you can save your own life? I will never allow myself to fall into an irreparable crisis because of my recklessness." If you have a choice. I think it's better to give up this mission. Because, I am afraid that the unknown danger is not something we can fight against. ”

Gatlin said angrily: "Boy, do you know how much we have paid for this operation? The high commission paid to you alone is enough for tens of thousands of gold coins, plus other expenses, it is already equivalent to three months' income of the union, how can we be willing to give up like this?"

Nian Bing looked at Gatling without giving in, and said, "I only know one truth, that is, stay in the green mountains, and I am not afraid of running out of firewood." Of course. I understand what you're thinking right now, and you're not really hitting the wall. I'm afraid you won't give up. Since I have agreed to President Carlo's participation in this operation, I will definitely follow you to the end, but I would like to state one thing first, I will not hesitate to retreat immediately if I encounter a strong enemy that I cannot resist, and you will not blame me when the time comes. ”

"You ......" Gatling stood up violently, his whole body was full of momentum, as a martial artist. Blowing-up spirit. There was a twinkle in his eyes. seems to be pondering whether Nian Bing should be solved first.

Hua Rui smiled, leaned over to Nian Bing, and said, "Little brother, looking at your appearance, there should be something to discover." Why are you so sure that we are not up to the task?"

Nian Bing snorted coldly and said, "I didn't find the enemy. However, don't you think that the closer we get to the mountain's loyalty after entering the Tiandang Mountains, the higher the temperature of the surrounding land? Although the change is not obvious, it seems to be too ambiguous at this time as a harsh winter. ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Gatlin sat down with a solemn face, and looked at Carlo, they really didn't notice this problem, and at this time Nian Bing brought it up, and they found out that this was the case.

Carlo took a deep breath and said, "Nian Bing, what you said makes sense. However, before this mission, we have already collected part of the commission from the employer, and if we go back like this, according to the rules, we will have to pay three times as much, although the union cannot afford to compensate for this, but the loss is too great, especially in terms of reputation, so we must try it. Don't worry, if you really encounter danger, we will definitely give priority to protecting you, and if you agree, you can let your friends leave first, and we will not stop you, how about it?"

Nian Bing smiled indifferently and said, "Since the president has already decided, I have nothing to say. Be careful. As for my friends, don't worry, they'll be fine unless they're all gone. ”

"Ahh

"What's going on?" said Carlo's deep voice, and the camp lit up with torches. All the mercenaries became nervous, drew their swords one after another, and watched the darkness around them vigilantly.

The dragon spirit and the phoenix girl had already drilled out of the tent, and the dragon spirit's eyes searched the crowd, and when she saw Nian Bing, she was obviously relieved and regained her lonely demeanor.

Nian Bing's eyes wandered, muttered a few incantations, and his hand sent out a burst of fire into the air, the fire was shining, and the surrounding area was suddenly illuminated, because the light came very suddenly, a black shadow in the woods flashed like lightning, and escaped into the distance. The stamen roared, and her huge body smashed into a small tree, and two axes like wheels chased after the black shadow like a swallow. Gatlin, apparently working with Blossom for years, showed an astonishing understanding and threw himself in the direction where the shadow had previously appeared, as it was from where the first screams came from.

Nian Bing didn't care about this, after the explosion, he immediately walked to Feng Nu's side and whispered something in Feng Nu's ear, Feng Nu frowned slightly, but still nodded slowly. All this is in Long Ling's eyes, and there is more complexity and sadness in her lonely eyes.

After a while, both Blossom and Gatlin returned, Blossom's huge plate axe with a trace of blood on it, and Gatling brought back a man, a mercenary, who had no breath of life on his body, his neck was strangely bent, and it was clear that the broken neck bone was the cause of his death.

The atmosphere of the entire mercenary group became different, and Gatling said in a tired voice: "There is no trace of resistance. It should have been a sneak attack. The attack was very ruthless, and he directly broke his neck. Can anyone tell me how he ended up alone in the woods?"

One of the mercenaries whispered, "He's there for convenience, and as soon as we entered the woods, we heard screams." ”

Carlo's expression was still very calm, his eyes turned to the stamen, and said, "What did you find over there?"

Hua Rui said: "It's right that it's human, this can be judged by the size." He didn't make a hard encounter with me, and his speed was so amazing that I chased him with all my might and used my Glimpse skill to catch up with him. Maybe he didn't expect my speed to suddenly increase, and I was careless and cut an axe on my back. But the man seemed to be wearing some kind of armor or something. His back was very hard, like iron armor, but it was stronger than iron armor, although my axe was launched in a hurry, but the strength was also sixty percent, but it could only scratch his body, and after using the glimpse, my speed would be temporarily reduced, and I did not catch up. However, I noticed that the man seemed to have red eyes. It looks a little weird. Thanks to that fireball that Nian Bing sent to him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to catch it in the dark. ”

Nian Bing said: "That person should have been startled by my fireball before he chose to flee immediately." From now on, no matter what you do, at least three people must be together, so that at least we can defend against each other's attacks and give our people a chance to rescue. ”

"Be careful. Feng Nu's voice suddenly sounded, and Nian Bing immediately crushed a scroll in her hand without any hesitation. The fourth-order ice wall technique appeared directly around his body, and a strong force came, Nian Bing's body subconsciously rushed forward, the sigh of the ice and snow goddess and the roar of the fire god jumped into his hand at the same time, without looking back, he locked the opponent's position with his spirit, and the fireball and the ice ball were sent out at the same time, attacking the opponent.

There was a loud bang on the ground, and the instantaneous ice and fire co-origin had easily shattered the body of a high-level warrior, and this time it also exerted a lot of power, and an exclamation came from mid-air, and Hua Rui and Gatling had already rushed forward at the same time, and two plate axes and a cold knife went straight to the figure of Nian Bing who had sneaked up on him in the air.

The fiery red light lit up instantly, and the scorching air flow filled the air, and in the loud noise, the rising momentum of the stamen and Gatlin was stopped, but the black shadow that hit rose high, and the hoarse voice echoed in the air, "This time I just give you a warning, get out of here immediately, otherwise, you will be buried in the sky and become fertilizer here." The voice faded with the figure, and when Gatling and Blossom hit the ground, they tried to follow the footsteps of the lost shadow.

Carlo stood beside Nian Bing with a long sword in his hand and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Nian Bing looked at the pile of ice powder behind him with palpitations, he really doubted that if it weren't for Feng Nu's sudden warning, those triggering magic scrolls on his body would have been able to save his life. The fourth-order ice wall technique is the strongest defense among all the fourth-order magic, but it only blocks the opponent slightly, judging from Carlo's movements, it is not that magic that really saves him, but him.

He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you for saving me." ”

Carlo smiled bitterly: "It seems that what you said is very reasonable, I fought with that person once just now, it is obvious that his strength is by no means below me, and at present, we already have at least two martial artist-level enemies." ”

Nian Bing sighed and said, "But I understand that this doesn't shake your determination, does it?"

Carlo nodded firmly and said, "Knowing difficulties has always been my principle of life. ”

Laughter suddenly sounded, Nian Bing looked around, only to see that it was Zi Qingmeng who was laughing, "You two should change their ages." The younger one is cautious like an old man, while the older one is as persistent as a young man. ”

Carlo sighed lightly and said, "The guards continue, the others go back to sleep, what Nian Bing said before is my order, any action must be at least three people together." ”

Everything returned to calm, Nian Bing returned to his tent this time, recalling the previous blow with a huge impact, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart, who is the enemy? If it is a race, as Feng Nu said, then what kind of race can be from the bottom up in the mountains, judging from the fact that they know the language of human beings and have the appearance of human beings, they should be talents! Where are the other races from?

Taking a deep breath, the sneak attack of the enemy hidden in the shadows made Nian Bing have a strong sense of crisis, as a mercenary group, it is obviously the easiest to be attacked by the other party, and he must strengthen his vigilance and defense. Otherwise, if you die in this mountain range for no reason, it will be too worthless.

The sneak attack of active cooperation made the entire mercenary group tremble, but in the second half of the night, nothing changed, and when the sun shone on the earth, bringing light to the Tiandang Mountains, a new day began. The dead mercenary was reduced to ashes by Nian Bing's fire-based magic, and his fellow mercenaries took his ashes with him and buried them when they returned to the Ice Moon Empire.

Looking at the rolling peaks, Carlo raised his hand and shouted two words firmly, "Forward." ”

Last night's blow seemed to be completely gone, and he was still full of confidence. But Nian Bing observed that Carlo's hand was always on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The atmosphere of the second day was more tense than the first, and the mercenaries were watching their surroundings at all times, as if someone suddenly burst out of them and twisted their necks. No wonder they were so nervous, the tragic death of their companions cast a shadow over the entire mercenary group, but fortunately, Carlo and the two deputy captains were extremely calm, and their men were all trained and had seen the big scene, except for being more cautious, there were no unusual behaviors.

The strange thing is that the enemy who came to warn yesterday did not appear again the day after the mercenary group entered the mountain, and Nian Bing even had the feeling of being watched, and the day was spent peacefully in a hurry. Despite this, after stopping the camp, Carlo personally inspected each tent, and specially explained the precautions of the mercenaries in charge of patrolling, and the defense of the whole night was led by two deputy commanders in the first and second half of the night.

Pat your belly, it's still the best thing to make yourself. Nian Bing was satisfied and lay down in the tent, and the soft cushions brought by the Space Ring were definitely the most enjoyable at this time. For two days, he was in charge of all the food, and when it was time to eat, it was also a time when the mercenaries could completely relax. Because of this, the mercenaries' favorability towards Nian Bing continued to increase, and when they were on the way, they all deliberately moved closer to him to prevent another sneak attack. In the past two days, Li Qi's mana has recovered seventy or eighty percent, and he is no longer so weak, but he no longer dares to use magic to inquire about anything inside the Tiandang Mountain Range.
