Falling from a height of fifty meters is almost fatal for people with relatively low strength, and just when everyone thought that Ma Qiang would fall to his death directly, suddenly, an afterimage flashed in front of people's eyes, and the next second, it appeared below Ma Qiang, and with a grasp of the void in his right hand, the air around Ma Qiang's body instantly condensed, and Ma Qiang was directly frozen in mid-air less than two meters from the ground.

Immediately after that, the palm that was in a half-grip state loosened, and Ma Qiang, who had completely slowed down, fell to the ground, except for some dust on his face and some embarrassment, he did not suffer the slightest damage. And the one who saved Ma Qiang's life at the critical moment was an old man wearing a yellow robe, white eyebrows and white beard.

The old man's hand surprised Shen Mo, after all, a person who can control air and gravity must have at least the strength above the Spirit Sea Realm.

Ma Qiang, who escaped death, couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief, when he saw the old man standing beside him, Ma Qiang was stunned for a moment, and then put on a crying face, reversed black and white and said: "Dean, you have to make the decision for me, I just joked with these two people, they beat me up, if it wasn't for the dean, you arrived in time, I'm afraid I'd have died, don't believe you ask them." ”

Ma Qiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the side, hoping that the few students who were watching the excitement just now could help him perjury;

It's just that when Ma Qiang looked over, there was still half a figure, and those classmates had already flashed when they saw the dean appear.

The dean seemed to know Ma Qiang's humanity very well, and did not listen to his wicked people sue first, but glared at him, hating iron and steel: "Shut up! What are you, I don't know what you are? Your Ma family is also a family with a head and a face in Wangcheng, you kid not only does not win glory for the family, but is completely dark, do you still know how to write Lu Dao, etiquette, righteousness and shame?"

"Dean, I'm ......"

"Get out of here, don't let me see you again!"

Ma Qiang was interrupted by the dean before he finished speaking, and then he drank Ma Qiang back in an extremely serious tone.

When Shen Mo came, he had heard that Dean Feng of Wang Cheng was a strong but short-tempered old man, and when he saw it today, he was sure that it was, but this kind of straightforward character with no room for sand in his eyes made Shen Mo admire it very much.

After Ma Qiang left, Dean Feng turned his head to look at Shen Mo and Marita, and when he saw the deformed necklace around Marita's neck, a flash of surprise flashed in Dean Feng's eyes, and then an expression of 'I see' appeared on his face.

Although he saw through that Marita was not a 'human', Dean Feng didn't say anything, but shifted his gaze to Shen Mo, swept away the stern tone just now, and said softly: "Looking at your outfit, it doesn't look like a student of this academy. ”

Shen Mo gave Dean Feng a very polite salute: "I am indeed not a student of this college, but a player from Pingyang College who came to participate in the martial arts of the Hundred Academy, but I came earlier; ”

Hearing that Shen Mo was actually a student who came to participate in the martial arts battle of the Hundred Academies, coupled with the fact that Shen Mo was very polite, Dean Feng showed a smile on his face: "The reason for the matter has been seen by the old man just now, you don't have to explain; ”

"Listen to the Dean's advice. Shen Mo bowed again to express his gratitude.

Dean Feng nodded, glanced at Marita with deep meaning, and turned to leave.

Looking at Dean Feng's back, Marita frowned slightly: "He shouldn't have seen through my identity, right?"

Although it was the first time for Shen Mo to meet Dean Feng, it was just one side, and it left a deep impression on Shen Mo's heart, with Dean Feng's strong strength, it was not difficult to see through Marita's identity, but he didn't break it in person, which showed that he didn't care about Marita's identity.

Silence briefly comforted Marita, signaled that Marita did not have to worry, and continued to go to the Golden Lion Mercenary Guild.

Before coming to the royal city, the 'bigness' of the royal city still existed within the reasonable imagination range, when you really were in the royal city, only to find that your vision of the royal city was a little too small; if Pingyang City is a chess piece, then the royal city is a chessboard that can hold many chess pieces; the huge wall contains countless 'cities within the city', covering a total area of 60 square kilometers, if you walk on foot, it takes a full day and a night to walk from the north gate to the south gate.

When Bai Huanyu's servant handed over the Beacon Order to himself, he didn't say the exact location of the Golden Lion Mercenary Union, but just said that he could find a mercenary to ask him and know the way; Shen Mo stopped a passing mercenary with a suspicious attitude, at first the mercenary was a little impatient, and when he saw the Beacon Order, his attitude changed 180 degrees in an instant, and he was extremely enthusiastic to guide the direction of the Golden Lion Mercenary Union, and finally even directly incarnated as a guide, and personally sent Shen Mo to the Golden Lion Mercenary Union.

Marita looked at the beacon fire order in Shen Mo's hand and chuckled: "I didn't expect that you even have the beacon fire order of the Golden Lion Mercenary Union." ”

"What, you know?"

Marita rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Isn't this nonsense, the Golden Lion Mercenary Union is the largest mercenary union in the entire Jin Yuan Kingdom, who doesn't know what the Beacon Fire Order represents?"

It seems that Mowen is right, this beacon order is indeed not an ordinary token;

Shen Mo put away the token, glanced at the gate of the union where people were coming and going, and walked in, the moment he entered the guild, his ears were instantly filled with all kinds of shouts, and for a moment he felt that the mercenary union was noisier and more noisy than on the street.

All kinds of mercenaries crowded in front of the quest cards, choosing the tasks that suited them, although they were chaotic on the surface, but in fact there was an alternative order. Just as Shen Mo was about to make his way through the crowd to find the staff of the Mercenary Guild, suddenly, the mercenaries in front of the quest card let out a cheer at the same time.

This cheer spread like a plague in the mercenary union for an extreme time, and the mercenary union, which was already noisy, instantly became more chaotic than the vegetable market, and the reason for the mercenaries to boil was that a five-star bounty was posted on the quest card.

Bounty missions are divided into five levels, the lowest is one star, the highest is five stars; usually, the tasks released by guilds around the country are mostly one star to three stars, and occasionally there will be a four-star mission, and like this five-star bounty mission released today, it is simply rare, unless you step on shit luck, it is difficult to encounter.

On the other hand, the bounty for a five-star bounty mission is very high, and the bounty for a five-star mission on the mission board is marked as '3,000 gold'. Once this task is successfully completed, they will be promoted from 'Dick Silk' to 'Rich and Handsome' in an instant, and it is no wonder that the mercenaries will be boiling.

However, the mercenaries soon calmed down, because it is extremely difficult to want a five-star bounty task, and it is impossible to rely on the strength of one person, and only some powerful mercenary groups are qualified to take it and complete it.

The mercenaries, who were accustomed to 'fighting alone', had to give up their positions and let the representatives of the various mercenary groups come forward to receive the mission.

Since the bounty task can only be taken once, once someone takes it, others can't take it again, so the representatives of the mercenary group do not give in, constantly show the strength of their mercenary group, and strive to get this task as much as possible.

Among the many mercenary groups, the strongest is the 'Saibeilong Mercenary Group', not only has many members, but also the strength of each member is not bad, and the weakest also has the strength of the strength realm.

The representative of the Saibeilong Mercenary Regiment is a big man named Wu Kai who is about thirty years old, wearing an eyepatch on his right eye, and his fierce appearance alone is enough to deter most of the mercenaries.

Wu Kai stood closest to the task card, looked around with his left eye, and said in a strong northern accent: "We have taken this task from the Saibeilong Mercenary Group, what should you do." ”

"Why?" Immediately, an unconvinced young mercenary stepped forward.

Wu Kai stared at the young mercenary and snorted coldly: "With the strength of our Saibeilong Mercenary Group!, this five-star bounty mission needs to go to the northern Heishui village to control the spread of corpse poison, exterminate all the local walking corpses, and rescue the local villagers, except for us, who has this strength?"

"Hmph, it's just a walking corpse, not even a demon beast, what's so difficult?" said the young mercenary.

Hearing this, some old mercenaries who were slightly older and more experienced reached out and pulled the sleeves of the young mercenaries, and dissuaded: "Don't talk big, although the walking corpse is a villager who has been poisoned by the corpse, it is not a demon beast, but it is infinitely powerful, the vitality is extremely strong, and where the corpse poison has broken out, under normal circumstances, all the villagers will become walking corpses, although the strength of the single body is weak, but there are many of them; ”

The young mercenary was still unconvinced: "Our Tianxing Sword mercenary group has the strength to destroy the corpse tide!"

Wu Kai snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Even your little mercenary group that has not even taken over a four-star mission, you dare to talk about destroying the corpse tide? Do you know Heishui Village? Do you know the poison of corpses? It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers!"

The onlookers didn't know much about corpse poison, so he turned around and asked the well-informed Marita.

Marita held her chin with one hand and said thoughtfully: "The poison of corpse poison is actually not strong, but it is very stubborn, and it spreads very quickly, it is difficult to eradicate if it is poisoned by corpse poison; ”

Shen Mo hadn't seen the walking corpse with his own eyes, so he asked, "What's so powerful about the walking corpse?"

"The walking corpse alone is not powerful, even ordinary people can defeat the walking corpse, and the horror of the walking corpse lies in the tenacious vitality and the corpse poison they carry and the incredible amount; usually, once the corpse poison breaks out in a certain place, the civilians in the entire area may be infected; a relatively large village like Blackwater Village has at least five hundred civilians, which is equivalent to five hundred walking corpses; and there are many large villages near Blackwater Village, even close to the town, if these places are also affected by corpse poison, the walking corpses faced by them can be used at that time'Ocean' to describe it. ”

Speaking of this, Marita paused and said with a little worry: "Being able to become a five-star bounty mission shows that the corpse poison in Blackwater Village has fully exploded, and the number of walking corpses is conservatively estimated to be several thousand, ordinary mercenary groups simply cannot defeat such a number of corpse tides, and even high-level mercenary groups are very risky to take on this task." ”

Listening to Marita's words, Shen Mo finally realized the meaning of 'ants eat elephants';

But no matter how powerful the corpse tide is, it has nothing to do with Shen Mo, and just as Shen Mo was about to go to the staff, suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"This task, our Black Tiger Mercenary Group has taken it!"
