Chapter 106: Desert Wolves
readx;
Whether it is a team mercenary or a free mercenary, the most taboo is to kill each other in the same team, and you can choose to protect yourself in times of danger, but you must not shoot at your teammates, which is also the most important reason why mercenaries look down on adventurers.

Han Fei's sudden attack on Orilia shocked the other mercenaries, and they had already put on a counterattack posture in a hurry, but just in the next moment, all the anger and confusion turned into an exclamation.
"Ahh
I saw that the long sword in Han Fei's hand pierced straight into the sand where Olylia was standing, and a large area of sand and dust rose violently, and a large snake with the thickness of an arm, three or four meters, swooped out of the sand!
But it was only the snake's body that bounced, because the seven-inch of this yellow-brown snake with a black wire ring was pierced and nailed into the sand by Han Fei's sword, and the snake's body was pulled back like a whip and wrapped around the long sword and Han Fei's right arm!
"Be careful, it's a black-ringed viper!" one of the mercenaries shouted with a change of face.
Obviously pierced by Han Fei's sword, this snake actually raised its fist-sized triangular head with all its might, and a pair of miserable green snake eyes stared at Han Fei with dead eyes, opening its mouth to reveal two barb-like snow-white fangs, and two streams of venom sprayed at Han Fei at the same time!
Han Fei snorted coldly, his left palm flipped out and he pushed it flat, and a ball of flame suddenly gushed out from his palm, just in front of the venom that flew in!
Zizi!
Green smoke rose up, and the flames triggered by the fighting spirit instantly evaporated the venom, and not a single drop could splash on Han Fei's body.
His right arm, which was entangled by the snake's body, revealed a golden fighting spirit at the same time, and his wrist turned to twist the long sword, only to hear a ** tearing sound, and the thick black-ringed viper was broken into more than a dozen pieces, and the break was as neat as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
And what is surprising is that after such a heavy blow, this black-ringed viper is not dead, and the snake's head can't help but twist vigorously to break free, but a battle axe breaks through the air from the side and cuts it in two at once!
It was Conte, the mercenary who had just called out the name of the black-ringed viper, and he was also the eldest brother of the four companion free mercenaries, and he was extremely burly and belonged to the strength type of tomahawk warrior.
After cutting the snake's head in two with an axe, he was still still not at ease, and he almost chopped it into a pulp before stopping.
Probably sensing Han Fei's surprised gaze, Kan Te explained with palpitations: "This black-ringed viper is a rare second-order spirit beast, with extremely strong vitality, if you don't chop it up, half of your head will bite, one of my former companions just thought it was completely dead, but it was bitten on the wrist and died!"
No wonder the second-order spirit beast is so strong, Han Fei nodded clearly, and casually put away the long sword and inserted it back into the scabbard.
Most of the mercenaries in the team are experienced, and when they camped here, they sprinkled poisonous powder to repel snakes and poisonous insects around them, but ordinary medicinal powder obviously couldn't stop the spirit beasts.
Everyone gathered around again, this black-ringed viper lurked from under the sand, no one noticed, if it wasn't discovered by Han Fei in time, I'm afraid Orilia would really be a little dangerous, the black-ringed viper is so venomous, many people have heard of it.
The eyes of everyone looking at Han Fei suddenly became different, the color of contempt and ridicule disappeared, Han Fei proved his strength with his actions, and of course won everyone's approval.
Olylia put away her dagger and said gratefully, "Thank you, Han Fei!"
Han Fei smiled and said, "You're welcome, this is as it should be, we are partners." ”
Master Andrew, who had been sitting next to him just now, showed a look of appreciation in his eyes, he looked at Han Fei and said, "Yes, your fire and gold fighting qi are used very skillfully, this is not something that ordinary people can do. ”
Regarding Andrew's praise, Han Fei just smiled and didn't answer, and everyone didn't care, because it involved the samurai's own cultivation secrets.
After such a incident, everyone didn't dare to slack off, and carefully searched the entire little oasis boy to prevent other murderous things from lurking, and Master Andrew also set up a small magic circle for vigilance, if you encounter any spirit beasts to sneak attack, you will find out immediately.
After some tossing and turning, the makeshift camp calmed down again, and everyone sat around and continued to eat meat and drink, talk and laugh and talk about some strange things, and the haze brought by the black-ringed viper soon disappeared.
The other people were very enthusiastic about Han Fei's attitude, and from the conversation, Han Fei knew that they came from various countries on the mainland, and most of them came to Buster City to find a way to break through and make some money.
Conte's arrogance, Aurelia's cleverness, Su Li's calmness, and Lei Luoya's talkativeness, the four partner mercenaries left a deep impression on Han Fei, but the two free mercenaries didn't seem to have many words, one was wooden and the other was gloomy.
The mercenaries are a group, and Master Andrew's servants are another group, although everyone is now teammates, but it is difficult to talk about a piece of labor with different identities, Master Andrew himself did not participate in the conversation of either party, he returned to the tent alone to meditate and accumulate mana, which is a necessary homework for the mage every day.
As time goes on, the sun gradually sets to the west, and the temperature difference between night and night in the desert is very large, and it is unbearably hot during the day, and even more unbearable at night without using a sleeping bag.
As night fell, the bonfire was lit again, and after Conte and Olylia went out for a walk outside, they dragged back with a desert antelope that had been shot, but in the evening they changed the taste to braised mutton, and dipped the hot bread in the boiling broth to absorb it, not to mention how beautiful it tasted in their mouths.
Baa ~ Just as everyone was enjoying dinner, the twenty or so sand camels that were tied to the oasis suddenly let out an uneasy neigh, and several of them raised their heads to break free from the reins, looking very anxious.
Everyone's faces changed a little, the tame sand camel would never be scratching for no reason, the animal's senses were very sensitive, there must be something terrifying about to happen!
But the surrounding desert was quiet, and nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Aurelia dropped the iron bowl in her hand, and rushed to a nearby coconut tree, and climbed up like an ape, and in a blink of an eye climbed to the top of the canopy and looked around.
"Oh no, there are wolves coming about four or five kilometers away, and there are a lot of them!" she said loudly.
Whoa!~ As if to confirm her words, a long wolf howl suddenly came from the distance, and then it was echoed, and I don't know how many wolves howled at the same time.
"It's a desert coyote!" The heavy sword warrior Su Li listened intently, and his face was very ugly: "The number is at least more than five hundred, it is a big race, we are in trouble!"
The desert coyote is a fairly common first-order spirit animal in the sand sea of the Western Continent, with sharp claws but no long-range attack ability, and can use natural skills such as stone skin techniques to increase resistance, and its surname is quite fierce.
There is nothing terrible about one or two desert coyotes, but a large group of desert coyotes together is very threatening, because once the cluster represents the existence of the wolf king in the wolf pack, the desert coyote king is at least a third-order spirit beast, and the surname is cunning and good at commanding the wolf pack, which is very difficult to deal with.
Although everyone's strength is not bad, all seven free mercenaries have reached the third order, plus Master Andrew and his servant warriors are enough to be compared with ordinary mercenary groups, but the disadvantage is that the number is too small.
"Prepare for defense!" Conte said in a deep voice.
In this team, the employer, Mage Andrew, is the natural leader, and Conte, the oldest and most experienced in desert adventures, is more or less the role of vice-captain, and no one will object to him commanding in a situation like this, even the retainer samurai will obey the command if they protect the mage.
The sand camels were pulled over and quickly circled and tied together with reins, making them kneel on the ground and blindfolded, so that they would not panic at the presence of wolves, and also provide a shield against the mercenaries.
One by one, heavy crossbows were taken out of the pouches, which were essential weapons for mercenaries adventuring in the desert, and if there were enough of them, they could use crossbow arrows to block the attacks of the wolves, but Han Fei didn't have them, and Olylia didn't need them.
Two shield-wielding samurai protected Andrew at the center of the defensive circle, and the middle-aged mage looked very calm, holding the staff without the slightest panic.
It is said that the wolf beasts of the desert are able to smell their prey from ten kilometers away, and can also track the breath left on the sand a few days ago. The wolves were apparently coming for the team, and when the mercenaries had just finished preparing for battle, they appeared!
A little green light lit up in the distance, and as the bright spots increased, it advanced towards the oasis at a great speed, and under the light of the moon, the dark yellow wolves swept through the desert like ghosts, giving people a rather shocking feeling.
About two hundred meters away, with a long howl, the wolves stopped moving at a distance beyond the reach of the crossbow arrows.
In the oasis, Reloya, who was carrying a heavy crossbow, couldn't help but curse: "What a fucking cunning!"
"We've met an experienced wolf king!" Conte's face sank, only a wolf king who had fought with mercenary adventurers had such experience.
"If you kill the Wolf King, will all these wolves retreat?" Han Fei suddenly asked.
Before he could reply, a pack of wolves not far away retreated to both sides like a tide to make way, and a giant wolf slowly walked out of it.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on its body, and the hair on its whole body was glowing with golden spots, and it looked like it was made of gold from a distance, and it was actually very beautiful.
"Golden Wolf King, fourth-order spirit beast!" said Kante suddenly.
