Chapter 167: 'Mist'

As soon as Ryan's words were finished, all the mercenaries turned their eyes to the captain.

The mercenaries outside the Tiger Mercenary Group have eyes full of unkindness, if it is really as Ryan said, the Tiger Mercenary Group has a way to communicate, but at such a dangerous moment, it is really too much to even take it out and use it.

The captain was stared at by everyone numbly, and he was still hesitating in his heart whether to take it out now. Because their regimental commander Tiffitto said that they should wait until they see the enemy and encounter danger before they can use it, and now they have not seen the enemy and encountered danger.

"It's all this time, you haven't taken it out yet, do you have to wait until everyone is dead to take it?" Ryan shouted.

Suddenly, the captain didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and motioned to a mercenary of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment with a big burden to take the burden down.

When the baggage was opened, there were a few things inside. Ryan looked over and found that he only recognized one wooden whistle-like item, and the others seemed to be related to gunpowder, but he couldn't recognize what it was for a while.

Next, the captain picked up the wooden whistle and put it to his mouth and blew it vigorously. Immediately a very sharp whistle sounded, completely overpowering the howl that had been ringing all the time.

Such a high-pitched sound can definitely be heard far away, Ryan thought, maybe the whistle can be heard at the foot of the mountain.

After blowing the whistle, the captain stopped blowing, and everyone felt very strange, and the captain explained that according to the agreement of their Tiger Mercenary Regiment, after hearing the whistle, the other squads must whistle in response.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, there was no whistle, and everyone felt a little strange again.

The captain whistled again, and this time, he kept blowing.

As a result, it was blown for a long time, and there was still no whistle response.

"It seems that the other squads may not be able to hear it when they go far away, or they may be completely wiped out by danger, or this 'fog' is strange enough to isolate the whistle." Ryan kept thinking in his mind. Then, Ryan said to the captain, who was still whistling desperately, "You try to see if anything else works." ”

Suddenly, the captain came to his senses and hurriedly looked for other things from the baggage.

To tell the truth, this captain is simply useless except for a little higher swordsman rank, and he has a great temper. This kind of person to lead the team is really sad for all the mercenaries in the team. Ryan could foresee that if he continued to be led by this waste-like captain, it would be a matter of time before the army was wiped out. At this time, Ryan had to think of a way to deal with it in his heart, at this time, he no longer expected to be able to complete the task and earn that large amount of commission, but to think about how to get out of this strange 'fog' and how to save his 'life'.

The captain took out a stick-shaped object, somewhat similar to a firecracker from Ryan's previous life, and the captain lit a fuse that was 'exposed' from the edge of the item with the torch in his hand, and after a small "boom", he threw him into the air.

"Squeak ......", a long screeching sound, followed by silence, only a constant howl in the ear.

"Strange, why didn't it explode?" The captain said to himself with a look of surprise on his face.

The crowd was puzzled.

The captain then explained that it was an explosive flare, and when it was ignited and thrown into the air, a huge explosion would occur, and a dazzling light would emit out. But now when I throw it in the air, there is no reaction.

The crowd fell silent.

Ryan thought about it, and he felt more and more that what he was thinking was right, so he said, "Perhaps, this 'fog' can not only obstruct vision, but also sound. Our voices cannot reach other places, and the voices of other places cannot reach us. ”

"But how did the sound of the fight just come from?" Ryan, who had just finished speaking, immediately thought in his heart that this was an unexplainable thing, so he didn't say it.

When everyone heard it, they also felt that it made sense, but this fact was even more terrifying.

The captain didn't give up, took out another bag of fuel, and then collected a pile of dry branches and lit a bonfire that was half a man high.

The campfire could be seen clearly within ten meters of it, but nothing was found, and the bonfire did not seem to be able to dispel the fog. If it were a normal day, such a large bonfire would be lit, and people from a distance of a mile would probably be able to see it. But now, in this strange 'fog', it's very doubtful that the other squads will be able to see it.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, there were still no other squads coming.

The captain tried several more items, but it still didn't work, and finally had to give up in frustration and look at everyone.

"What should I do?" This question came to everyone's mind.

Then, everyone turned their attention to Ryan. At this time, everyone expects Ryan to come up with a solution. Along the way, Ryan didn't talk much, but every time he spoke, he was on the point, so many people felt that Ryan was more trustworthy than the captain.

Ryan didn't excuse himself, but he didn't speak immediately, but thought about it again, and after a while, he said, "Guys, I'm wondering, with the current situation, can we still complete the task?" ”

Suddenly, this question woke up all the mercenaries at once.

Yes, the enemy has not yet been discovered, the legendary skeleton has not yet appeared, and a single 'mystery' fog leaves everyone helpless. From this, we can see how powerful the enemy is, and anyone who is self-aware will consider the possibility of defeating the enemy, but no matter how you think about it, this possibility is very low.

"I suggest leaving right away and abandoning this mission." At the head of the small group, the tall mercenary was the first to give his opinion.

"No, we're going to find the other squads and complete this mission together." The captain also objected at the first time.

From the position of the Tiger Mercenary Group, if they fail to complete this mission, the impact on them will be very great, and it can even be said that they will become the laughing stock of Gesodo Town in the future, and they may not be able to receive the mission from now on. As for the other mercenaries who were invited over, they could just pat their butts and leave, and there was no burden at all. Therefore, the captain is determined to complete the task.

This is how the disagreement arises.

"Are you stupid? It's so weird, it's so dangerous, and you still want to complete the mission? You don't want to die, we still want to die. The tall mercenary scoffed.

"You want to die? How dare you say that about me. I can't go if I say I can't go, I'm the captain, I say it. The captain shouted angrily.

"You waste, what kind of ability do you have to be a captain? We're in trouble right now, and it's you, the captain, who led it. Rubbish! "The tall mercenary started cursing.

Enraged, the captain picked up his sword and slashed at the tall mercenary. He was so angry that he even forgot to use his fighting spirit, and picked up his sword and cut people.

The tall mercenary was obviously prepared, and when he saw the captain looking at him, he unleashed his two-foot-long sword and slashed at the incoming sword.

At this moment, the captain, who did not show his fighting spirit and was caught off guard, was forced to take two steps back, and the long sword in his hand almost fell off. As a level 5 swordsman, being 'forced' to retreat by a level 4 swordsman was a great shame for him.

So, the captain unleashed his three-foot-long sword, and pounced forward, 'fiercely' fighting with the tall mercenary.

The people next to him were taken aback, and suddenly moved their hands as they spoke. As a result, the Tiger Mercenary Group and the small group of people began to scold each other again, and they were almost about to join the battle.

The middle-aged mercenaries who persuaded the fight before began to persuade him again, but no one paid attention to him this time, and the remaining few neutral mercenaries also went up to persuade the fight, but it was still useless.

The whole scene got out of hand, and everyone was going crazy.

At this time, Ryan was the only one, quietly standing on the periphery and watching. He had already foreseen this scene, but what he foresaw was that it would only happen after completing the task, but he didn't expect it to happen soon after entering the 'fog'.

"You're going to find a way to get them to stop, or we're all going to die." The middle-aged mercenary who persuaded the fight saw that he couldn't persuade him, and saw Ryan standing aside as if watching a play, and couldn't help but shout at Ryan.

Ryan began to move, he did not speak, but walked over to the burden placed on the ground, picked up the wooden whistle that had just been blown from the baggage, and then Ryan wiped the mouth of the whistle with a cloth in a leisurely manner, and then put the whistle in his mouth and blew it loudly.

"Squeak ......", a sharp whistle sounded.

Suddenly, everyone stopped, including the two people who were in the 'fierce' fight, they were all startled by the sharp whistle, and everyone looked at Ryan.

Ryan lowered his whistle and asked very calmly, "May I ask you two, do you know what this place is?" ”

Suddenly, this sentence made the two give up the idea of fighting. Indeed, this is by no means a good place to fight, because the enemy can take advantage of it at any time.

The captain calmed down, and he said viciously: "Okay, when this mission is over, I will settle the account with you." ”

The tall mercenary didn't show weakness either, and shot back with the same viciousness: "I'll talk about it when you save your life." ”

"Hmph." The captain stopped talking.

"What's next?" The middle-aged mercenary who persuaded him hurriedly changed the topic and asked Ryan Dao.

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I think, even if I want to go back now, I may not be able to get out." ”

"Why?"

"If you think about it, the width of this flat land is only a few tens of meters, and we have just changed directions, but we have never reached the slope of the uphill or the slope of the downhill. So I think there must be something wrong with this 'fog'. ”

"So what should we do?"

Ryan asked the captain, "Do you have to find another team?" ”

"Yes, we will never quit." The captain said through gritted teeth.

Ryan asked the tall mercenary again, "Do you have to quit?" ”

"Yes." The tall man didn't know what Ryan wanted to do, and he said firmly.

"That's easy, let's split up and find our way separately." Ryan finally spoke his mind, a thought that had been in his mind for a long time.
