Chapter 297: Employment
Gu Chensheng's pupils emitted a strange light, and the middle-aged mercenary who rushed over fell in response.
However, the heaviness in his brain hit him, causing him to gasp for breath twice, but the cold river water that poured into his throat made him choke and almost vomit a few mouthfuls of blood.
Finally, Xiaoyu, who was temporarily intimidated by him, came to the two of them.
Gu Chensheng held his breath and suppressed the pain. He pushed the little princess of the Southern Continent lying on top of him and pushed her to Xiaoyu's side, while he used his only remaining strength to follow them and swim towards the shore with difficulty.
"... I feel like I've been teetering on the verge of death lately..."Gu Chensheng said secretly.
Finally, the moment his feet stepped on the ground, he, like the mercenary before, collapsed.
...
...
In the haze of consciousness, a warm current rushed to his face.
He opened his heavy eyelids, and not far in front of him was a rising bonfire.
Gu Chensheng didn't speak out immediately, but first observed the surrounding environment.
In his previous dream, the tide of energy that passed through him was still in front of him. Only the crackling of firewood was quiet.
But the more peaceful it is, the more we can't let our guard down.
He was now running out of true energy, and his spiritual energy was not enough to protect the safety of the two, and in the last scene before he fell unconscious, he still remembered that a little girl dragged the idiot princess ashore, and he seemed to have passed out after that.
The current situation is not enough to make Gu Chensheng feel safe, although the other party saved him, he can't completely hand over his life to someone he doesn't know.
So he had to regain some strength in case he needed it.
Don't think about it for the time being, unless the injuries in his body can be healed by half, otherwise in his current state, once he exerts his strength, he is afraid that the wound that will stop bleeding will immediately bleed, and even if he has great ability, he will only die.
"In this case, it really depends on the power of the spirit. Gu Chensheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thanks to how much he would do.
The spiritual energy flowed slowly under his control for a week, and the sharp pain that came from the sea of consciousness still made Gu Chensheng grin for a while.
Suddenly, Gu Chensheng's face changed, his gaze fell, and an old-fashioned steel knife on his neck was lying there.
"Don't move, why don't you speak when you wake up? Warber's voice came from behind him.
Feeling the other party's true killing intent, Gu Chensheng slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said in a hoarse voice: "This good man, I didn't see you behind me, how can I talk to you." ”
At the same time, with the help of the powerful perception of the spirit, he firmly locked on the mercenary uncle behind him, if the other party really made a move to cut his throat, Gu Chensheng would definitely directly destroy the other party's consciousness a moment ago.
The scene suddenly fell silent with such an eerie sound.
Gu Chensheng didn't want to be so consumed with the other party, he said hoarsely: "You saved us before... Why is this the case now. ”
Listening to Gu Chensheng's question, Hua Bo was silent for a long time before he said, "One of my brothers suddenly fainted by the river, and it was Xiaoyu who brought you back. ”
Gu Chensheng glanced at the other side of the bonfire and said, "What about her?"
Hua Bo knew who Gu Chensheng was asking, and said, "That girl is with Xiaoyu." ”
"Are you awake?" Gu Chensheng continued to ask.
Hua Bo was silent for a while, he had an inexplicable intuition in his heart, his actions did not seem to have any deterrent effect, he simply put away the steel knife, and said: "I know that you are very strong, you are injured so badly, and you can still stun one of my brothers, can it be for the sake of Xiaoyu saving your life, don't affect us." ”
"Brother, how do you say that. Gu Chensheng pursed his lips, didn't the good guy just rest from you, how did it rise to the level of involvement.
Then, he thought about it again and said, "Oh, you are mercenaries, right, you are worried that my physical condition will affect your mission, so how about I hire you and send me and the girl who came with me back to Fancheng?"
Hua Bo let out a long breath and said, "Little brother, what you said is true?"
"Uh... It shouldn't be fake..."Gu Chensheng was choked by the strength of the other party's philistine, and he was a little hesitant.
Seeing Gu Chensheng's attitude, Hua Bo immediately said suspiciously: "You... How much are you going to give?"
Looking at the other side's attentive gaze, Gu Chensheng sighed helplessly, and then said: "You guys are also performing a mercenary mission when you come out, so as long as you send the two of us back to Fancheng, how about paying you twice the commission for this mission." ”
Gu Chensheng did not write a blank check for him to fill out.
One is that this kind of behavior is too brainless, it is difficult for people to believe that you have the financial resources, and he is also worried that the other party will see the wealth and play with the disgusting people's minds.
As for whether the promise can be fulfilled, it is not within Gu Chensheng's consideration at all, with the little princess of the Southern Continent, it is not a problem to think about the gold coins at all.
Gu Chensheng moved his body and chose a comfortable position, his muscles were now sore and unbearable, if he could, he really didn't want to drag such a body back to Fancheng with a guy who was in a similar state to him.
As his consciousness awoke, the faint wisps of true qi in his body finally began to slowly circulate in his meridians, constantly relieving the pain in his body, and a faint light of energy flashed in Gu Chensheng's pupils.
Although Hua Bo didn't see all this, he had a stirring in his heart for no reason.
He pondered for a moment and then said, "Little brother, I can't make a decision on this matter for the time being, can you wait a while and let me go and discuss it with a few brothers." ”
In fact, according to Hua Bo's plan, the benefits of escorting Gu Chensheng and them back to Fancheng at the moment are far more reliable than looking for a little princess of the Southern Continent in this endless mountain.
But the appearance of these two people covered in blood before really frightened him, although Hua Bo did not make up for the two knives and abandoned the two as if he didn't see it, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to cause this trouble.
He had seen the wounds on Gu Chensheng's body, although most of them had coagulated into blood scabs, but according to his eyesight, these scars were definitely not bitten by a fierce beast.
If it's not a beast, it can only be a human...
In this way, there are too many risk changes, and who can know what the two of them are provoking.
"Do you want to take the risk..."
After Waber had talked about his concerns with a few people, he said no more.
A few people, you look at me, I look at you, obviously a little moved by this heavenly reward.
One of them muttered, "The reward for finding the little princess of the Southern Continent is 10,000 gold... This flips over..."
