Chapter Eighty-Eight: Windfall
Hearing this muffled sound, Ling Chen's heart couldn't help but tighten, this sound was not the sound of a falling tree at all, but more like the sound of a fierce beast falling to the ground.
Now he didn't bother to collect the materials on the snow spider, but slowly moved towards the place where the noise was made.
The mist jade slip continued to separate the mist, and the surrounding grass and trees were in a mess, and there were many spider silks on them, as well as some broken cobwebs, which were obviously Ling Chen's masterpieces.
Ling Chen was still walking forward, the surrounding scene was generally chaotic as before, when he walked to a big tree, he turned his head and saw that the whole person was stunned, in front of him was a huge net, Ling Chen climbed up the tree, and found that the giant net was twenty or thirty meters high, and there were many white objects wrapped in spider silk hanging on it.
"I didn't expect to find its nest. Ling Chen sighed slightly, this is undoubtedly the old nest of the snow spider, the spider has the habit of wrapping its prey in spider silk and then hanging it on the spider web, and these are obviously the prey captured by the snow spider.
But a big hole was broken in this big web, and several objects wrapped in spider silk fell to the ground, Ling Chen jumped down directly, looked at the three white spider silk cocoons on the ground, and wondered: "I don't know what kind of unlucky beast was caught." β
Ling Chen first came to a three-meter-long spider silk cocoon, the long knife slashed down, and there was a crisp sound, the spider silk cocoon only shook, and only a knife mark appeared on the lower surface, but it did not break.
"It's hard spider silk. Ling Chen secretly praised that this spider silk was hard after weathering, and Cheng DΓΉ was able to block his Xuan Bing's full force.
Ling Chen, who had retracted his knife again, did not do the same as before, but blessed the long knife with Xuan Li and then slashed it with a swing of the knife, and the hard differentiation spider silk began to crack on the surface after this blow, and then the whole suddenly completely collapsed, revealing the object inside.
Ling Chen leaned his head closer to see that it turned out to be a fifth-order fierce beast, a fox-tailed demon wolf, but he didn't expect that even a fierce beast one order higher than it would be able to escape the fate of becoming a mouth-eaten thing under this cobweb.
But this is also cheaper for him, although this fox-tailed demon wolf is dead, the fur on his body is not damaged in the slightest, and this fur can also be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver. Ling Chen, who got the sweetness, was even more excited, and swung his knife again and again to break through the cocoon of the spider silk and collect all the fur and valuable parts of the beast inside into the small tower.
In this battle, he originally thought that he could only get the fangs of one snow spider, but now he got the furs, fangs and other materials of nearly ten fierce beasts, which undoubtedly won him the title of ninth-level mercenary of the mercenary conference.
There are still a lot of spider silk cocoons on his head, Ling Chen directly used the long knife to emit a violent wind and knife qi to destroy the entire web, and then the area where the spider web was located next time the spider silk cocoon rained, and the spider silk cocoons continued to fall to the ground and make a dull sound.
Ling Chen watched as his head kept dodging, these spider cocoons were big and small, the big ones were three or four meters long, but the small ones were less than half a meter, if he was hit on the head by the big ones, he might really be stoned to death, so he couldn't help but be nervous.
After half a quarter of an hour of waiting, it was already determined that no spider silk cocoons had fallen, so he took a long knife and began to cut open and take out the beast materials from it one by one.
"This snow spider is also greedy enough, and it really doesn't refuse to come. Ling Chen looked at the corpse of the green grass rabbit in front of him and muttered, since there is so much food and he is not willing to let go of even a rabbit, could it be that the rabbit meat tastes better?
The grass rabbit Ling Chen naturally didn't want it, so he continued to gouge other spider silk cocoons, and after a fall, there was a crisp cracking sound, and then a human corpse appeared in front of him.
Ling Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, this was the first time he had seen a human corpse killed by a fierce beast after entering the Psychedelic Valley, this person was dressed as a member of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, Ling Chen put his hand on his neck and found that there was still a trace of warmth, obviously he had just died.
Seeing this, he hurriedly dug open several nearby cocoons, and found that all of them were mercenaries dressed in the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, and without exception, all of them had just died and still had their body temperatures.
Just when Ling Chen threw away the other spider cocoon, he found that the person inside's chest was still undulating, obviously not completely dead, but he didn't have a good impression of the people of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, and it was not worth his use of aura to save him, so he directly moved to the next spider cocoon.
Ling Chen opened five more spider silk cocoons one after another, except for one silk cocoon that was a fierce beast, the other four were all members of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, and one of them also had a trace of breath. When Ling Chen saw this, he knew that this must be a squad of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, but he didn't know why they all strayed into this spider web and were wrapped in spider silk as food by snow spiders.
When Ling Chen opened the sixth spider cocoon, a shocked look appeared on his face, but then he became sad, the person in the spider cocoon turned out to be a flowing fire!
Ling Chen looked at the flowing fire lying in the spider silk cocoon, his eyes fluttered, although he had known the flowing fire for a short time, but he still admired the character of the flowing fire, he was very loyal to his subordinates, and his subordinates could also be said to be loyal and righteous, such a person is difficult to find in today's world. Originally, he still had the intention of receiving his command, but at this time he was already dead, which really made him regret.
But at this moment, Ling Chen seemed to see the nose of the flowing fire move slightly, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly probed his hand to the artery in his neck, and found that the artery of the flowing fire was still beating faintly, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and hurriedly pressed his hand on the chest of the flowing fire, and the spiritual energy gradually poured into the body with the operation of the qi equestration.
After the aura enters the body, it begins to circulate along the tendons and veins, and the originally lifeless qi and blood return to flow after the blessing of the aura. Ling Chen's face began to improve a little when he saw Flowing Fire, and completely poured the only remaining spiritual energy in the first spiritual vein into Flowing Fire's body, and then the whole person sat down on the ground, panting heavily, obviously consuming a lot of body.
Ling Chen was not a martial artist in the first place, he had only comprehended the mysteries of the martial artist period in advance, but with his current strength, the consumption was still very huge.
After nearly half an hour of rest, Ling Chen recovered, and after he opened his eyes, he came directly to the spider silk cocoon, and saw that Liuhuo's face had recovered and ruddy, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just as he was about to enter the Nine Heavens Qiankun Tower to restore his aura, he saw that Liuhuo's eyes began to move slightly, and he planned to stay here for the time being.
When Liuhuo opened his eyes, he saw Ling Chen's incredible face, and the whole person sat up directly, looked at the disappearing mist, and asked Ling Chen suspiciously, "Deputy Commander, you are also dead?"
Ling Chen couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, but then he showed a playful smile and sighed and said, "Hey, yes, I was killed by a spider." β
"Damn! It's all the uselessness of the subordinates who failed to protect their brothers, and the deputy head of the regiment is also in danger. The self-blame on his face was full of fire, and then he showed a sad expression, obviously thinking of the tragic death of Fang Meng and the others.
"Fang Meng, what's wrong with them?" Ling Chen's tone suddenly became stern.
"They, they, they're all dead. Liuhuo choked up and said, these people are all brothers who accompanied him from birth to death, and now how can they not be sad in order to protect him from being all mutilated.
"Did the Black Tiger Mercenary Group do it?" Ling Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a cold voice again.
"It's the incompetence of his subordinates who ran into the psychedelic valley to seek a lifetime and revenge for blood, but who would have thought that he would be discovered by the team of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, and finally strayed into the spider web, and was directly wrapped in the spider silk and suffocated. Liuhuo was still choking, and briefly sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, and said to Ling Chen.
Ling Chen's whole body had already revealed a murderous aura at this time, the killing in the past month had already caused Ling Chen to accumulate a lot of evil aura, Liuhuo felt this aura and couldn't help but feel a chill on his body, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Isn't the deputy head of the martial arts stage? How can there be such a strong murderous aura? Even I feel trembling in my heart." β
"Do you want to take the life of the dog who worships the Black Tiger?" Ling Chen said indifferently, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Think!" Liuhuo replied directly without thinking about it: "If you can give me the head of the Black Tiger, no matter who it is, I Liuhuo wishes all beings to worship him as the Lord!"
"Okay! Remember what you said, I will take down the head of the Chonghei Tiger in a month, and don't forget what you said when the time comes. "Ling Chen naturally achieved his goal, that is, to bring the flowing fire under his command, although there is a suspicion of digging Chen You's corner, but on the road to hegemony, it can be said that there is such a loyal general, it can be said that he has wings like a tiger, and naturally he can't let it go.
Hearing such an answer, Liuhuo didn't know why he had an inexplicable trust in front of him, and he actually believed that he could defeat the hundreds of mercenaries of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group with his own strength!
But then he thought about it and felt a little unrealistic, he knew that the deputy head was very strong, but the ten squads of the Black Tiger Mercenary Regiment already had twenty masters of the martial arts stage, how could a martial artist beat twenty martial artists?
The most important thing is that they are all dead, and even if they have such an ability to defy the sky, they will not be able to take revenge. Legend has it that once a person dies, there will be a soul to seduce them, and the soul will not be confused at all, and they will stay in the world.
"But aren't we all dead, Deputy Commander?" asked Flowing Fire tremblingly.
"Hahaha!" Ling Chen looked up to the sky and laughed, gathered his power with one hand, and squeezed it Liuhuo's shoulder, and suddenly Liuhuo let out a miserable howl, and the smile on Ling Chen's face became even stronger, and he said to Liuhuo: "Do you think you're dead?"
"Uh, I'm not dead?!" Flowing Fire felt the pain in his shoulder, a wild look of shock, he clearly remembered that he seemed to be unconscious, but now he was unharmed.
Liuhuo thought for a moment, he was a smart person, he knew that he could come back to life and definitely have something to do with the young man in front of him, so he couldn't figure out how a young man in the martial arts stage could have such an ability to rise from the dead, but the most important thing now was not that Liuhuo stood up and knelt directly in front of Ling Chen and said: "Thank you so much for the life-saving grace of the deputy head of the regiment, Liuhuo is willing to serve the Lord and serve the dogs and horses." β
I didn't expect Flowing Fire to be so resolute, Ling Chen's heart was also beating drums, he didn't know whether it was good or bad to take Flowing Fire under his command now, but now he really lacked someone who could help him, and Flowing Fire's character was also worth believing Ling Chen thought for a moment and nodded and agreed: "Okay, you will follow me in the future, Fang Meng's revenge will definitely be avenged." β
"Thank you, master!" Liuhuo thanked him directly, and even his title had changed, which showed his belief in Ling Chen.
"Eh, can you not call me master, I sound very strange, you still call me Brother Ling. Ling Chen couldn't help but be stunned for a while when he was called Liuhuo like this, he was actually called the master by a strong man in the late stage of a martial artist, which he couldn't even think of, so that now he heard it very strange, and hurriedly called Liuhuo to change his name.
"How can this be done, then I will call the master the young master!" Liuhuo directly vetoed or insisted on calling Ling Chen the young master.
Seeing Liuhuo's resolute appearance, Ling Chen didn't want to say anything more, and he liked the title of young master quite a lot, so he gladly accepted it by default.
"Get up, you can tell me about the strength of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group. βI1387
