Chapter 16: Ugly Human Nature
Ye Lan didn't know how to describe how weird and bloody this scene in front of him was, anyway, seeing this scene made him feel the urge to poke himself in the eyes.
It was an open space the size of half a football field, with four large monsters in each of the four directions. It can be seen that the state of these four demonic beasts is very bad, they are lying on the ground very weak, and there are huge chains wrapped around their bodies to fix them to death, and the moans ~ moans that come out of their throats from time to time prove that they are in great pain now.
If that's it, the reason why the current scene is bloody and weird is because the four demonic beasts are full of corpses in front of them, including demonic beasts and humans. The question raised by Ye Lan just now finally had an answer, and the corpses of those mercenaries were all collected in this place and placed in front of the four demonic beasts.
The four weakened demonic beasts would occasionally open their mouths, stretch out their scarlet tongues, and randomly roll a corpse into their mouths to replenish their body's nutrients, looking less like they were eating, more like they were struggling to breathe.
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and all kinds of strange symbols were painted on the ground, forming a huge circle of magic.
In the middle of the magic circle was a gray stone with some translucent spots on it, and a blood-red heavy sword stuck in the stone.
"Flower Rain Stone!" Seeing the stone in the middle of the magic array, Mendic couldn't help but exclaim.
The rest of the people also looked at the stone, this is their destination this time, the flower rain stone that can raise the level of the Demon Beast cub?
The things they wanted were close at hand, but no one dared to take a step forward, and the eerie atmosphere of the scene made everyone's movements a little stiff.
Anyone can see that this scene is definitely not naturally formed, someone must have designed it, and the weird and mysterious magic array on the ground doesn't know what to do, but just by looking at the surrounding scenes, you can know that this is definitely not used for good deeds.
Who did these things, not only to imprison four fifth-level demonic beasts in this place, but also to kill so many mercenaries silently, and collect their corpses and put them in this place. In addition, what is the blood-red heavy sword stuck in the flower rain stone?
After hesitating for a long time, Mendiko on the side spoke: "What should we do next?"
"What else can I do, of course, to see who is pretending to be a ghost, who killed so many of us! Do you want to go? There are many people in it who are also from your mercenary group!" Song An said and stepped forward first, Pang Tong and Sui Rui behind him glanced at each other and could only follow stubbornly, and then Mendico also followed helplessly.
Ye Chao felt that it was best for him to turn around and leave now, because this scene was obviously deliberately arranged by someone, and it was very likely to be a trap, or directly open an invincible and powerful big ~ BOSS.
But under the influence of curiosity, he was reluctant to leave, and he also wanted to see what was going on, so he stood there and watched, while maintaining a high degree of vigilance, and would definitely run away without hesitation if there was any trouble.
"Hahaha! That's right, it's really like this! These monsters are really pregnant with cubs, and they should be born soon! Although I don't know who did these things, but now that we have met us, it's our luck, why don't we divide the cubs of these four monsters?" While the three captains were checking to see if there were any of their own people in the corpse pile, Mendico was checking the four monsters, and he shouted excitedly after getting the results.
When the other three people heard the news, they immediately put down what they were doing, and they all came to Mendic's side and asked, "Is it true, there are really cubs? Doesn't that mean that we only need to take a cub at random and put it on the Flower Rain Stone, and we can get a sixth-level demonic beast?"
"That's true, but I don't recommend it, the price of the Flower Rain Stone could be higher if it were sold separately. Let's think about it, I want this piece of flower rain stone, how much money you can offer. You can divide the remaining four monster cubs yourself, I won't interfere, of course, you can also sell it to me, the price will definitely satisfy you. ”
"Tell me about your price, how much are you going to give for Hua Yushi and a fifth-level Demonic Beast cub?" Pang Tong, the leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Regiment, asked first.
Mendic touched his chin and thought carefully for a while, then stretched out a finger and said: "One million gold coins, the currency of the main road, any Phoenix firm on the mainland can withdraw it at will, without providing identification, what do you think?"
"Impossible, a fifth-level Demonic Beast cub is worth 800,000, and it also has to add Flower Rain Stone, in addition, my team members have suffered heavy losses this time, the entire Hurricane Mercenary Regiment is almost completely wiped out, and the pension under my command will be higher than one million, this deal has nothing to do at all!" Pang Tong directly rejected Mendic, and the other two regiment leaders also nodded, they also did not accept this price.
With a treacherous smile on his face, Mendic said, "You're right, if you count the casualties of your mercenary group and the subsequent share, one million is indeed not enough for you to stuff your teeth." But what if you don't need to share the pension that you don't have to deal with mercenary casualties?"
"What do you mean!" A hint of anger appeared on Sui Rui's face, and the unconsciously beating eyebrows showed that his heart was extremely uncalm now.
"Of course, it's literal, I think you should all be smart people who can mix to this level, since you are smart people, why should I say something too clearly.
If you look at these corpses, they are basically all members of your mercenary group, which means that the three major mercenary groups are almost all wiped out in this place, even if you go back and give the pension to the families of these people, their families will forgive you? Do you think your mercenary group still has the value of existence?
Let me say you might as well take the money and go along, go incognito, or change your face and start from scratch somewhere else. One million continental currency, this money is something that some people can't earn in their lifetime! One million can buy a sword-wielding level swordsmanship cheats, if you can really become a sword-wielder, it will be very easy to re-form a mercenary group at that time. ”
"You fart, Lao Tzu won't ignore the friendship of his brothers for money, they follow me to hand over their lives to me, they can work hard in the task because they know that they will have someone to help take care of the aftermath and take care of their family when they die, if I listen to you, I will be a beast who is not as good as a pig and a dog! How will I be a person in the future!"
Mendic took a step back and distanced himself and said, "My words are already very clear, your team is basically wiped out, even if you take the money and leave, no one will know, and then others can only think that you have also died in the forest of wisdom."
You see, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and if we really negotiate, I will definitely not betray you, otherwise the face and reputation of the Phoenix family will not be good-looking. As long as we get rid of some irrelevant people, when the time comes, you will take the money and fly away, and one million will be enough for you to live the life you want to live!"
Saying that, Mendico glanced at Ye Chao and them as if he didn't have any, the meaning couldn't be clearer, the so-called irrelevant people refer to Ye Chao and them, and Mendico had already excluded Ye Chao and others from this business.
Sui Rui raised the heavy sword in his hand and pointed at Mendico and said: "You dream, although I, Sui Rui, love money, I am definitely not an unkind and unrighteous person, and my conscience will not feel good for the rest of my life after taking this money." I'll tell you, if you know each other, give us a suitable price, otherwise I will never give up the Demon Beast cub and the Flower Rain Stone!"
Sui Rui's words were very imposing and full of positive energy, and I couldn't help but feel shocked when I heard it, and at the same time I believed that there were still good people in this world.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a heavy sword rushed out of his body, and the blood dripping from the tip of the sword seemed to be mocking Sui Rui's naivety, which was very eye-catching.
The arm that had lost its strength could no longer hold the sword, Sui Rui lowered his head, looked at his chest in disbelief, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't say a word.
It wasn't until the heavy sword retreated from his body that his body slowly fell to the ground, and he didn't see who had killed him a moment before he died.
Pang Tong shook off the blood on the heavy sword and said: "Okay, now there is one less person who divides the money, I want two million, otherwise this matter will not be discussed!"
"Hahaha, happy, Captain Pang Tong is really an understanding person, and it is a pleasure to do business with you. Two million is two million, as long as you deal with other eyesores, two million will be yours, and it will still be anonymous from the whole continent. ”
Pang Tong nodded, and then said to Song An: "Take a hand, let's do it together, you don't want to eat white food!"
Song An sneered, didn't say much, raised the broadsword in his hand and Pang Tong, and slowly approached Ye Chao's side.
Ye Lan looked at the two people who were approaching and couldn't help but sigh and said to Sophia on the side: "Look, what I said before is right, the most dangerous thing in the Wisdom Forest is never a demonic beast, but another person!"
Lao Wu prepare, let's take action next, hurry up and get rid of them, I'll go see if Sui Rui is still saved. ”
However, what neither side noticed was that when they were about to fight, Mendico was slowly approaching Hua Yushi, and his target was actually the sword on Hua Yushi.
