Chapter 23: Sauron Canyon

The beautiful, tranquil mountains and wilderness are scattered with broken corpses of Bi Guan.

If the person who met Bi Guanqun was a small mercenary group, the broken corpses on the ground belonged to the Terrans. Unfortunately, Bi Guanqun encountered a blue enchantress today!

This is the land of the jungle, and this is the law of survival of the Beland Continent.

Except for five or six mercenaries who were slightly injured and bleeding, Bi Guanqun did not cause much damage to the mercenary group.

"The wounded brethren bandaged it briefly, and we got out of here at once, the smell of blood from so many corpses would soon attract the big beasts. As soon as the battle was over, Keynes gave the mercenary group an order to evacuate.

The entire mercenary group moved very quickly, the wounded mercenaries helped each other to treat their wounds briefly, and the others quickly withdrew from the battlefield after sorting out their weapons and equipment.

The corpses of Bi Guan, which were everywhere, were left directly in place. Although Bi Kana can barely be regarded as a first-class magical beast, but the value is really not much, although the fur is worth some money, it is too troublesome to peel, and the meat is rough and difficult to swallow, in the Orlando Mountains, where the mountains are full of prey, no mercenaries or hunters will eat Bi Guan's meat.

The mercenary group marched through the rugged mountain roads for an afternoon, stopping at a col at dusk.

After a battle of life and death, it was another afternoon of continuous rushing, and even the physique of a third-level martial artist was almost at its limit. But Arthur found that the mercenaries of the Blue Enchantress were really different, and none of the mercenaries complained or fell behind the whole afternoon, even if the injured mercenaries were supported by their partners or carried on their backs in turn.

After the team stopped, Arthur was so tired that he lay down on the ground, but immediately got up again, because he found that except for himself, even if his physical strength was at its limit, no mercenary immediately sat down to rest.

The mercenaries naturally split into groups, with Adeline directing a group of mercenaries to unload the boxes on the musk ox's back and prepare them for dinner and camping. Tony and Angus each led a group of mercenaries to continue to march in the left and right directions, and they had to patrol the surroundings to make sure that there were no hidden dangers such as large magical beasts nearby, and then the mercenary group would officially start camping.

The other mercenaries, who had no mission for the time being, seemed to stand around loosely and casually, but in fact they still protected the musk ox and the cargo in the center in a ring, and no one could approach the commission of this mission without moving.

This is the experience of the veteran mercenaries who have accumulated over the years of their missions, because danger can come at any time without warning in the Orlando Mountains.

When Tony and Angus returned, the mercenary group began to camp in earnest.

When the perimeter guard posts were set up, Angus sprinkled a circle of insect repellent around the camp, and set up a few small traps with early warning functions, the mercenaries were a little relieved of their hearts after a day's hanging.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Walpole, the accompanying wood magician, used two "Wood Sprouts" spells to completely heal two mercenaries who had been seriously injured before. In non-combat environments, mages will not easily make their own magic less than half their own. Before Walpole's magic was fully restored, the remaining wounded mercenaries could only use herbs to stop the bleeding.

The other mercenaries began to laugh around the freshly lit bonfire, and some of them couldn't wait to bring out their own wine before the food was cooked.

The leaders of the mercenary groups of Cairns, Adeline, Tony, and Angus sat alone in front of a small campfire, the elf Iraya still did not appear in the group, and Arthur took the opportunity to come over because he was roasting a few people.

Adeline gently flicked the campfire with the end of her wand, a fire magician's staff as a natural fire-starter.

"I think you should tell us the destination of this mission, so that we can be more prepared for the rest of the trip. Adeline said as she fiddled with the fire and didn't lift her head.

"I thought you'd never ask if I didn't tell me?" replied Keynes in a quipping tone.

"You are the head of the regiment, and it naturally makes sense for you not to say the task, but since entering the mountain range, I have a very bad feeling. ”

"A woman's sixth sense?"

"Yes, a woman's intuition. ”

"Sauron Canyon, the destination of our mission this time is Sauron Canyon. ”

Adeline's hand shook, and a huge flame erupted from one end of the wand, and Keynes was obviously startled by what she said so directly.

Tony and Angus were both stunned, but then their faces showed very different expressions. Tony's eyes were filled with excitement, and Angus's face stiffened as if it had suddenly frozen.

When Arthur first heard the name "Sauron Canyon", he wondered what kind of place caused such a large reaction from several people.

Adeline sighed softly, "No wonder I feel uneasy, it's a cursed place, and it is said that there are still remnants of the gods and demons left over from the battle between gods and demons in ancient times, intertwining and lingering in the canyon. Affected by this aura, whether it is a mage or a warrior, their strength in the canyon will be greatly limited. ”

"This is not the most terrifying, it is said that the real effect is spiritual, and many warriors and magicians have come out of the canyon behaving strangely, and some have even gone completely insane!" Angus took Adeline's words and continued.

"Wealth is in danger, it is a battlefield in ancient times, there are a lot of good things left, I heard that someone got a legendary broken sword from there, even if it is only a small half of the sword body is priceless. If you're lucky, Uncle Tony might be able to get some broken artifacts out this time. Tony's eyes were full of excitement, and as a thief, Tony naturally liked this relic of risk and opportunity.

"I'm curious right now about who the employer is, and who would choose to send things to Sauron Canyon?" Adeline couldn't help but ask.

Keynes shook his head, "The employer is mysterious, you know the mercenary guild Brandon guy, he won't say a word about the information that the employer asks for confidentiality. ”

"Even with the strength of our mercenary group, it's very reluctant to go anywhere!" Adeline couldn't help but sigh again.

Keynes was silent for a moment before he whispered, "I know that this mission is very risky, but the consignor has given a price that cannot be refused at all, and we don't need to enter the canyon, we just need to deliver things to the valley mouth, where someone is waiting to pick up the goods." ”

Adeline didn't speak again, lowered her head and continued to stir the campfire with her staff, and then chose the mercenary profession, and danger became a part of life.

The bonfire burned even brighter, and the beating flames reflected the mercenaries' thoughtful faces......
