Chapter 207: The Final Exam of the Platinum Brotherhood
Mu Xiaofeng followed the voice and slowly walked into the forbidden forest, the grass and trees in this forbidden forest were particularly vigorous, and Mu Xiaofeng felt that it was a little difficult to walk through the forest. However, it didn't take long for Mu Xiaofeng to come to the source of the cry for help, only to see that the Black Horned Prince was wrapped in vines all over his body, tied to a towering ancient tree.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng immediately pulled out the grip of death, and then swung his sword to cut off all the vines on Heijiao's body, and after the vines tied to Heijiao's body were broken, Heijiao fell to the ground. But soon the vines on the ancient tree stretched out again, binding the black horn firmly.
No matter how many times Mu Xiaofeng tried, the Prince of Black Horn could not escape the shackles of this ancient tree. At this time, Heijiao let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Mu Xiaofeng, you better give up." This is the forbidden forest of our beast kingdom, and there is this terrible ancient tree in it, the ancient tree will directly tie up people, and then continue to absorb the vitality of the prey until the prey vitality is exhausted. Fortunately, I am the body of the Eight Liberations, and my vitality is enough for him to absorb for several years. ”
Mu Xiaofeng looked at this terrifying ancient tree, but he didn't understand how Heijiao had survived all these years. Suddenly, the vines of the ancient tree handed a few fruits to the black horn, and the black horn ate all the fruits in front of him one by one. Mu Xiaofeng only understood at this time that in order to absorb as much vitality as possible, the ancient tree would not let the prey starve to death, it would use the fruit of the ancient tree to feed the prey, which is why the black horn could live on the ancient tree for so long.
Mu Xiaofeng felt a trace of despair in his heart until he couldn't save the Prince of Black Horn. However, the Prince of Black Horn felt that it was not easy for him to see Mu Xiaofeng, and the Oxen clan was basically wiped out in the Forbidden Forest. Prince Blackhorn had no thoughts of revenge in his heart at this time, he just sighed that he didn't expect that the cowman clan who once ruled the beast kingdom would fall to this point.
Just when Mu Xiaofeng and the Prince of Black Horn were catching up, suddenly a person slowly walked out of the forbidden forest, this person was wearing a gray robe, holding a deadwood staff in his left hand, and a medicine bag in his right hand. And this person is very old, the skin on his face is so wrinkled that he can't see his facial features clearly, and his white eyebrows have dropped to his chest, and he feels that the old man in front of him is already a hundred years old.
Hei Jiao's face immediately changed when he saw this old man, and he hurriedly reminded Mu Xiaofeng to run. Before Mu Xiaofeng could react, he saw the staff in the old man's hand light up, and a tree behind Mu Xiaofeng suddenly increased in size, and then the tree stretched out countless vines and tied Mu Xiaofeng firmly to the tree.
The old man slowly walked in front of Mu Xiaofeng, then put his staff against Mu Xiaofeng's chin, and said, "I'm afraid that you kid has never died, and you dare to come to the Forbidden Forest." But I think you kid has a good physique, and it's a pity that you've been sucked dry by the tree, so it's better to turn you into a tree of life. ”
Mu Xiaofeng was puzzled at this time, he didn't know what this old man's words meant. The old man looked at Mu Xiaofeng, who was puzzled, smiled, and continued to explain to Mu Xiaofeng: "Since your kid is going to die, I will tell you directly." This forbidden forest was planted by our Blood Spirit Family, and although the Blood Spirit Family can live forever, its body is still old. So we came up with the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life grows on the carrier of a living person, and when the Tree of Life absorbs enough vitality, it will transform into a physical body, and the last physical body only needs to absorb the vitality of the last person, and this last person is equivalent to obtaining this physical body. ”
After Mu Xiaofeng learned the news, he sighed that the plan of the Blood Spirit Clan was really terrifying, they were no longer only eager to control those who were powerful in battle, they were also eager to obtain a younger body. With these younger bodies, the Blood Spirit Clan could produce the most comprehensive and powerful people, who might have no rivals in the world after they came out.
Just when the old man was about to turn Mu Xiaofeng into a tree of life, suddenly a white light fell from the sky and stopped in front of the old man. Mu Xiaofeng fixed his eyes and saw that the person who appeared in front of him turned out to be Bai Ling.
When the old man saw Bai Ling, he immediately became sincerely frightened, he half-knelt in front of Bai Ling, and greeted Bai Ling, "Great God of Life, I wonder what you will do when you suddenly arrive?" ”
Bai Ling showed a faint smile at this time, then turned to Mu Xiaofeng behind him, and said, "Elder Gray Robe hasn't seen you for a long time, I hope you can let go of this child behind you, this child is of great use to me, I think this little request Elder Gray Robe will definitely not refuse." ”
It turned out that the old man in front of Mu Xiaofeng was the gray robe among the four elders of the Blood Spirit Family, and the gray robe looked embarrassed in the face of Bai Ling's request, after all, he had already told Mu Xiaofeng in front of him the secret of the Blood Spirit Family, if Mu Xiaofeng revealed this secret to everyone, how would the gray robe elder explain to the Blood Spirit Family.
Bai Ling naturally saw through the gray-robed elder's thoughts, she slowly walked in front of Mu Xiaofeng, then lightly tapped her forehead with her fingers, and asked, "You kid, although I can save you, but you have to promise me that you can't reveal everything that the gray-robed elder told you today." Trust me, everything the Blood Spirit Family does is good for your future, it's just that you need time to know all this. ”
Although Mu Xiaofeng was a little reluctant, he looked at Bai Ling's firm and gentle eyes and chose to believe Bai Ling, so he agreed. Seeing that Mu Xiaofeng had also agreed to keep it secret, the gray-robed elder also gave a step down and let Mu Xiaofeng go.
Mu Xiaofeng, who was liberated, immediately knelt in front of Bai Ling at this time, and then asked Bai Ling: "Sister Bai Ling, can you help me save Prince Heijiao?" The Prince of Blackhorn was also captured by the Blood Spirit Family. Mu Xiaofeng pointed to the Prince of Black Horn who was bound by an ancient tree not far away, he couldn't bear to let the Prince of Black Horn be sucked dry by the Blood Spirit Family like this.
At this time, when the gray-robed elder heard Mu Xiaofeng's request, he immediately scolded, he felt that Mu Xiaofeng was too much, and after Mu Xiaofeng was saved, he even wanted to let him let go of the black corner. The gray-robed elder resolutely objected, but at this time, Bai Ling did not oppose the gray-robed elder, but instead told Mu Xiaofeng that the sacrifice of the black horn was very meaningful, and asked Mu Xiaofeng to stop clinging to the prince of the black horn.
However, Mu Xiaofeng saw that he couldn't save the Prince of Black Horn, so he simply sat on the ground and didn't leave, it seemed that Mu Xiaofeng had to take Black Horn away. At this time, the Prince of Black Horn called Mu Xiaofeng to his side, and then slowly told Mu Xiaofeng, "Brother Mu Xiaofeng, you better leave quickly, our cattle clan has already died in the forbidden forest except for me, even if I live alone in the world, there is no point in me." For me, it's satisfying for me to see you as an old friend before I die. ”
At this time, the Prince of the Black Horn had no desire to survive at all, and Mu Xiaofeng knew that he couldn't save the Prince of the Black Horn, so he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then bowed to the Prince of the Black Horn three times and turned to leave.
After Bai Ling accompanied Mu Xiaofeng to leave the Forbidden Forest safely, Mu Xiaofeng turned his head to look at the direction of the Forbidden Forest and sighed in his heart, Bai Ling knew that Mu Xiaofeng wanted to save Heijiao, so he patted Mu Xiaofeng's shoulder and comforted: "Child, don't worry." Prince Noire will definitely accompany you in the future, you have to trust me. ”
Mu Xiaofeng looked at Bai Ling in front of him, the doubts in his heart intensified, and he felt that Bai Ling was also planning something. But how could a mortal understand the thoughts of the God of Life, Mu Xiaofeng didn't ask. So after Mu Xiaofeng said goodbye to Bai Ling, he returned to the royal palace in Sagra City to rest.
Early the next morning, Mu Xiaofeng and the others were arranged by Avaya to come to the headquarters of the Platinum Brotherhood again, which was the second time that Mu Xiaofeng walked into this powerful house. And Cavash, who received the notice, came to the hall early to greet Mu Xiaofeng and them, and the powerhouses of the Platinum Brotherhood headquarters saw that the president actually greeted these inconspicuous children in front of them, and their eyes all gathered at once, which made Mu Xiaofeng feel a strong pressure.
After seeing Mu Xiaofeng, Kavash happily walked to his side, then took Mu Xiaofeng's hand and asked, "I heard that little brother Mu Xiaofeng wants to join the Platinum Brotherhood, this is a great honor!" Since it's a person recommended by the Beastmaster, I don't think there's any need for the qualification review, so let's go straight to the final exam. ”
When all the people in this scene heard Cavash say this, they immediately started to talk about it, they didn't know what the origin of Mu Xiaofeng's children was, and they could directly enter the final test of the Platinum Brotherhood. However, although Mu Xiaofeng and they were able to directly enter the re-examination, most people were still not optimistic about these children, because the final examination of the Platinum Brotherhood was not so easy to pass, and this was the largest mercenary organization in the world.
At this time, Kavash introduced Mu Xiaofeng to the structure of the Platinum Brotherhood and the tasks of the final examination. The Platinum Brotherhood is divided into five tiers, Junior Mercenary, Intermediate Mercenary, Senior Mercenary, Master Mercenary, and Peak Mercenary. The number of mercenary teams at each level is constant, with 10 teams for Peak Mercenaries, 50 teams for Master Mercenaries, 200 teams for Advanced Mercenaries, 500 teams for Intermediate Mercenaries, and 1000 teams for Beginner Mercenaries.
Each team receives a bounty based on the difficulty and number of missions they complete, which are recorded and ranked according to each team's bounty. When a low-tier team's bounty exceeds the higher-tier team's bounty, the final exam will take place, just like those teams that want to qualify for the Platinum Brotherhood.
The content of this final test is that the lower-level team receives an escort mission and will set off first, while the higher-level team harasses them and competes for the task to see which team can complete the escort mission last.
At this time, Cavash called for someone to bring the roster, and then called the team that ranked last among the junior mercenaries. At this time, six middle-aged men appeared in front of Mu Xiaofeng and them, these people looked neatly equipped, and the team consisted of a standard lineup consisting of two sword and shield warriors, a double-sword shadow man, a bow and arrow shadow man, a polyrudito and a priest.
But Mu Xiaofeng felt that the strength of these uncles in front of him was not bad, and they looked almost forty years old, both in terms of combat experience and strength, they were much higher than Mu Xiaofeng and them, and it seemed that Mu Xiaofeng's task was not so easy to complete.
Cavash smiled, then walked to Mu Xiaofeng's side and whispered, "Don't worry! Their strength is not as strong as you think, all of them are just three solution strengths, I believe you can handle it. ”
When Mu Xiaofeng heard this, he beat a drum in his heart, although he already had the strength of three solutions, most of them had two solutions, and Amy, a little friend, only had one solution, and the gap in strength was still too big.
