Chapter 113: Departure
"Okay, everyone is ready, right? So, let's go!" With Chloe's order, the journey of the foot merchant Zakvi, who had entrusted them with the "Era" mercenary group, to be escorted through the "Zhongdu Mountains" back to Zhongdu, began.
"Zhongdu Mountains", located at the boundary between the Principality of Zhongdu and Luoyin City and Zheng Guo, although the most central part of this "Zhongdu Mountains" has powerful magical beasts, but there are no peripheries, and there are only some low-level magical beasts on the periphery of the "Zhongdu Mountains"; And very fortunately, the dividing mountain range between Zhongdu and Luoyin City is located on the periphery of the Zhongdu mountains, so Echo and the others don't need to pass through the middle of the Zhongdu mountains, and they won't encounter more dangerous magical beasts.
Although it is said that it is quite a hard thing to cross the mountains and mountains, but considering that the breath of various magical beasts in the mountains of Zhongdu will make ordinary horses, donkeys, etc. unable to move, but will become a drag, and Zakvi is not the kind of big businessman who owns a fleet of Warcraft to save zĂ i. On this night, everyone simply stayed in a hotel located at the edge of Luoyin City, at the foot of Zhongdu Mountain, anyway, the client made it clear that he was not in a hurry to return to China, but just wanted to get home safely.
However, for the sake of efficiency, according to the plan of last night, the next morning, when it was just dawn, the people of the "Era" and Zakvi set off after breakfast.
So, the first real battle trial of the teenagers and girls began.
There are many magical beasts living in the mountains of Zhongdu, and there is a valuable thing called "crystal nucleus" in the body of the demonic beasts, so many characters such as mercenary groups and solo knights will consider coming here to hunt some magical beasts in exchange for economic benefits. Because the strong people of the Warcraft clan and the strong human beings have such an agreement, that is, humans are not allowed to kill Warcraft on a large scale, so even people who want to obtain economic benefits naturally do not dare to kill Warcraft at will, and after killing a certain number of Warcraft, they will obediently leave this mountain range; And the human who wants to make a breakthrough is to try not to kill after defeating the Warcraft, anyway, the Warcraft also knows to escape, just let it run away...... If the people who come here for the trial will be afraid of the retaliation of the low-level demonic beasts, then don't come.
Of course, there are individual exceptions, but for this, the human heroes who negotiated with the Warcraft powerhouses had no choice, who said that the human beings at that time were not strong enough?
In addition to cultivators, there are also foot merchants like Zakvi and escort teams like "Era".
It was only two hours after entering the mountains, and the children of the Times Mercenary Regiment encountered several Warcraft, and then Chloe's order was to "take turns to divide a part of the people into a team, go and fight against those Warcraft to gain combat experience, and no killing is allowed under unnecessary conditions". There are only a few third-order demonic beasts.This kind of demonic beast is just a little tricky for the team composed of children whose cultivation is basically in the late second-order and early third-order stage.In this way, when the team of the era encountered a third-order demonic beast again during the journey, it was the turn of the six people of Echo, Nora, Aislin, Xuzi, Koizumi, and Chloe to form a team to fight.
"Kyoko, Koizumi, use your speed to distract the other party, pay attention to dodge!Aceline, prepare the magic cannon!Nora, like me, use wind spells to block the opponent's range of action, rescue Kyoko and Koizumi, and find a chance to take down this bear! And Eco, it's up to you in the woods! Pay attention to wrap around each other! Then Acelyn will shoot over!" Before the battle begins, Chloe first explains Ichikumoto's tactics to the girls, and then the battle begins.
The other party is a third-order demonic beast "Earth Bear" that is one level higher than the human cultivators of the same level, although the speed is slow, but the strength and defense are full, so Koizumi and Xuzi can't be attacked by the other party even once.Otherwise, it is estimated that they will be directly out, right? But fortunately, the opponent's action power is not high, and he has to be a beat slower than Koizumi and Xuzi.
So, Koizumi and Xuzi's attack, although it was only a small injury to the ground bear, but it succeeded in causing the ground bear to chase them angrily.Then they started to hide and seek around the woods and each other, although they didn't dare to speed up rashly because they were not very familiar with the terrain here, but fortunately, they had Chloe and Nora's timely wind spell attack.After these two attacks, the scars on the bear's body were obviously a few more.And because of the impact of the spell, the other party's advance couldn't help but be stunned, and he staggered back a few steps.
The ground bear, who was injured again, was already very angry, and when he raised his foot and stomped on it, an earthy yellow fluctuating light appeared on the ground, spreading outward from the bear's surroundings. This spell is applied to the ground, the effect is to make the ground vibrate, and then disturb the opponent's action If you don't jump, you will inevitably be hit by the fluctuation and then injured, and if you jump, then take advantage of the time you float in the air, the bear can close the distance with you.
However, I already know that the other party has this powerful Xuzi and Koizumi, and the two naturally will not let each other succeed so easily.I saw the two of them quickly jump forward from the ground with agility, and then tiptoe a little on the trees on both sides, each found a branch and stepped on it, and then aimed at the eyes of the ground bear, and each threw two throwing knives This is to prevent the hatred of the bear from diverting from them, turning to Nora and Chloe By the way, it is worth mentioning that this tactic was also proposed by Chloe, according to her, This is one of the only two weaknesses in this bear.
When the bear felt in danger and reached out to block the four throwing knives in front of his eyes, the bear's eyes turned away from the two Chloe and Koizumi.
Then, a new round of chasing battle began.However, this round of chasing battle did not last long, taking advantage of the pause of the bear's attack, Eco had already set up a wood-based spell between the two trees where Xuzi and Koizumi were. As a result, the strength has reached the fourth-order enhanced version of the "Winding Technique".
As a result, the Earth Bear will not be able to get up from the ground at all for a short time, and Acelin's magic cannon as a lore has been preparing for a long time.
"Magic Cannon, Starlight Impact!" Acelyn took out a new magic cannon, this magic cannon is different from the previous fast-attacking single attack "Flame Flash" and group attack artillery attack "Flame Breaker", it is a high-power single attack that has been charged for a long time, but the speed is very fast, and the speed and attack power of this magic cannon are stronger than "Flame Flash", and the magic power does not fluctuate much, that is to say, the relatively hidden benefits However, what makes people full of black lines is that the charging time of this spell is actually compared to "Flame Breaker" In a normal battle, who would give you so much time to charge up this spell?
But it's just right now...... Eco's winding spell immobilized the ground bear, so Acelyn simply hit the bear with the cannon.
Then, the bear was decisively shot, and was directly seriously injured and lay on the ground, unable to get up again.
Subsequently, Ike and several people returned to the team, and the trip continued.
Finally, after a night of camping, in the afternoon of the next day, they came to the border city of Zhongdu, "Fanshui" City.
Then, the third task of the "Era" mercenary group was completed, and their merit points also came to ninety, and there are still twenty-seven days to go, if the merit of seventy points in three days is credited to the account, and one of the tasks is replaced by a B-level task, then there should be a lot of certainty that they can complete the goal of reaching 800 points, right? Thinking like this, all the students couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief?
But...... As the head of the group, Chloe remembered the conversation with the client Zakvi last night.
