Volume 1: Rising Clouds Chapter 32: Registered Mercenaries

"The Mercenary Guild is one of the oldest, most mysterious, and most terrifying organizations in the entire Firmament Continent, and his history is even more than the royal families of several countries in the Firmament Continent, and the founder of the Mercenary Guild is the strongest person at the level of the Martial Emperor in the legend of the Firmament Continent, even if a thousand years have passed now, the prestige of this mercenary emperor is still there!" Xingchen looked up at the plaque on the door of his mercenary guild and remembered some of the records he had read about the history of the mercenary guild

"The branches of the mercenary union are all over the entire firmament continent, and there must be the strongest in the upper echelons of the mercenary union, otherwise the royal families of various countries will not allow such a powerful force organization to appear in their own countries!" Xing Chen looked at the plaque of the mercenary union and said secretly in his heart.

Xingchen was the king of mercenaries in his previous life, and he knew that the people in power were afraid of the mercenary organization, which had a powerful military organization, and the mercenary union in this life had been safe and sound in the entire firmament continent for many years, obviously the mercenary union itself had extremely strong strength, and this strength might even exceed the sum of the royal families of various countries, otherwise the people in power of various countries would not let go of such a strong force in their own country.

"Hello, I want to know how to become a mercenary!" After Xingchen entered the gate of the mercenary union, he casually stopped an old man wearing the uniform of the mercenary union and asked politely.

"Haven't been a mercenary before?" The old man glanced at Xingchen and found that he only had the strength of the third order of a martial artist, and then asked lightly.

"Yes! First time here! Xingchen said honestly, he was born with meridian defects and couldn't cultivate before, so he naturally wouldn't have stepped into a place like the Mercenary Guild.

"If you want to take on the mercenary mission, first go over there to register and make a register, register as a yellow-level mercenary, and then you can take the task on the mission display board in the hall!" The old man said.

"Thank you, senior!" Xing Chen bowed his hand slightly, and then said.

"Hmm!" The old man glanced at Xing Chen, nodded slightly, and then turned his attention to other places, this old man is the daily deacon of the mercenary union, and for a young martial artist like Xing Chen, who is only a third-order martial artist, he is not worthy of his attention at all.

"Hello senior, I want to register as a yellow-level mercenary!" Xingchen came to the position pointed by the old man, and there was also an old man sitting in that position, and the old man was still dozing off at this time.

"Register a yellow-level mercenary for 10 silver coins and write your own name!" The old man glanced at Xingchen, took out a yellow token from a drawer in his hand and threw it to Xingchen, and then pointed to a booklet on the table.

"Okay!" Xingchen took out 10 silver coins from his pocket and placed them on the table, then picked up the pen and tried to sign a name.

"Senior, I've written my name!" Xingchen said politely.

"Ling Tian! Are you a member of the Ling family? The old man opened his eyes and looked at the name on it and then asked, the Ling family is a famous family in Qingshan Town, and he was a little surprised when he saw the name written by Xing Chen.

"The seniors laughed, the juniors came from outside Qingshan Town soon, but they just happened to be surnamed Ling, and they had nothing to do with a famous family like the Ling family in Qingshan Town!" Xing Chen smiled and said that he deliberately came to the mercenary union in disguise in order to hide the identity of the Ling family, and as for the name Ling Tian he wrote down, it was the name of his previous life, and his surname in his previous life happened to be Ling.

"There are many demon beasts in the Green Demon Mountain Range, and the mercenary mission is within their means!" When the old man heard Xing Chen say that he was not from the Ling family, he immediately lost interest, and just casually admonished. In his opinion, a young martial artist with low strength like Xingchen could only go around the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range at most, and even the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range was a great place for a single third-order martial artist.

"Thank you for the reminder!" Xingchen saluted respectfully and then said, he doesn't mind this old man himself, after all, this is a world where martial arts are respected, and his strength is low now, and it would be good for others to kindly remind him. Respect, that needs to be won with strength.

"Let's go and see what kind of mission there are to hunt demon beasts first!" Xing Chen came to the huge task display board in the hall and took a closer look, the purpose of his trip was to improve his actual combat ability and actual combat experience through mercenary missions, and the task of hunting demon beasts was the most suitable for him.

The Firmament Continent is a vast and magical continent, and there are many demon beasts on this continent, and these demon beasts are as strong and weak as human martial cultivators. The strength of demon beasts from low to engaged is ordinary beasts, evil beasts, primary demon beasts, intermediate demon beasts, advanced demon beasts, demon generals, demon spirits, demon kings, and legendary demon lords and demon saints.

The realm levels of demon beast strength corresponding to human martial arts are ordinary beasts corresponding to human martial arts cultivators, evil beasts corresponding to martial artists, primary demon beasts corresponding to warriors, intermediate demon beasts corresponding to martial artists, senior demon beasts corresponding to great martial artists, demon generals corresponding to military generals, demon spirits corresponding to martial spirits, demon kings corresponding to martial kings, demon venerables corresponding to martial arts, and demon saints corresponding to martial saints.

And the strength level of each realm of the demon beast is not as detailed as that of the human martial arts division from the first to the ninth order, but the innate talent of the demon beast is much stronger than that of the human race, and the strength and combat power of the weakest demon beast in the same realm are also comparable to the combat power of the seventh order or more of the human martial arts cultivation, and the combat power of the top demon beast in the same realm far exceeds that of human martial cultivation, and it is not even weak at all with the higher level of human martial cultivation.

"I am now a third-order martial artist, under normal circumstances, I can only deal with the weakest evil beasts, and even if I have some hidden means, I should only be able to deal with the more powerful evil beasts, and it is estimated that there is some suspense when I encounter a junior demon beast!" Xingchen assessed his combat strength for a moment, and then looked at the information on the mission display board in the hall.

In his previous life, as the king of mercenaries who crisscrossed the mercenary battlefield, he believed in a truth: "The one who lives the longest on the battlefield is never the bravest and strongest mercenary, but the smallest, most cautious, and most timid soldier!" ”

The Firmament Continent in which Xingchen lives in this life is still a world of the jungle, and he believes that the truth he believed in in his previous life is still feasible in this life, so he has to measure his strength and choose the task that is most suitable for his experience, and the most suitable task for him at this time is the task of dealing with the lone beast alone.

"There is no task for yourself! In the Blue Demon Mountain Range, the strength of the evil beasts belongs to the lowest level, only a little stronger than ordinary beasts, and a primary demon beast can kill more than a dozen evil beasts, so most of the evil beasts on the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range live in groups, and Xingchen did not find the task of hunting lone evil beasts! Xingchen looked at the list of tasks and didn't find such a task, which immediately discouraged him.

"Little brother, didn't you find a suitable task?" At this time, a deep voice came from behind him.

"Well, no, my strength is too poor to eat these tasks!" Xingchen turned his head and found that the source of the voice was a strong man with an extremely strong body. And the strength of this strong man is not weak, he actually has the level of a samurai eighth order, and he has two companions, a man and a woman, by his side

"Little brother, I see that you are alone, if you don't have a companion, are you interested in teaming up with us for a mission, we can take care of each other!" The strong man looked at Xingchen and smiled heartily, and then said.

"Team up!" Xingchen was stunned, he didn't expect this strong man to say this.

"That's right! The Blue Demon Mountain Range is extremely dangerous, and adventurers with ordinary strength like us have the highest safety factor to enter the Green Demon Mountain Range in a team! The strong man said with a smile.

"This eldest brother, little brother, I first came to Qingshan Town to train, and my strength is low, so I'm afraid that I will hold you back!" Xing Chen thought for a moment, then bowed down and said with a little vigilance, it is not impossible to team up with people to carry out tasks, but blindly cooperating with strangers is also quite risky.

"Little brother! Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions, my name is Li Man, and I have been active on the periphery of the Green Demon Mountain Range all year round, you can find out about my reputation as soon as you ask! I just saw that you were alone and wanted to invite you to my team! Li Man looked at Xing Chen's expression, he knew what Xing Chen was thinking in his heart, and then smiled and said, You can't hurt people, this is something that Li Man, as an old mercenary who has been wandering in the Blue Demon Mountain Range all year round, knows it in his heart, but he really has no malice in greeting Xing Chen.

"Huh! Brother Li Man, I'm new here, if you don't dislike it, please advise! Xingchen didn't see anything in Li Man's eyes that made him feel uneasy, and then smiled and said very politely, he was very well disguised at this time, dressed plainly, and was a third-order martial artist, and there was only a long knife on his back that was barely considered to be a yellow rank lower grade, and there was nothing worth worrying about at all.

"Haha! That's natural, you just join my team for the time being, I just took a mission, my team is going to enter the Green Demon Mountain Range to hunt ground spiders and collect spider silk! Li Man said, and then handed a jade slip to Xingchen to look at.

"Collect 100 pieces of ground spider silk!" Xingchen took the jade slip and briefly checked the details of the task inside, and then found that the difficulty of the task was not low, they needed to hunt 100 ground spiders and collect 100 spider silk.

"The level of the ground spider is not high, but it is a vicious beast level, but it is a social creature, and if you attack one, it will attract a group, so you must act collectively to deal with the ground spider and take care of each other!" Li Man said.

"Understood!" Xing Chen nodded slightly.

"Little brother, since you have decided to join my team, let's all introduce ourselves first!" Li Man gestured to two companions, a man and a woman, not far away, and motioned for them to introduce themselves to Xingchen first.

"My name is Li Junshen!" The man with an indifferent expression also opened his mouth to introduce himself.

"My sister's name is Gao Peiling, you can't be wrong to follow our big brother Li Man!" The woman in Li Man's team said with a smile.

"Brother Li Man, Brother Junshen, Sister Pei Ling, my name is Ling Tian, if you don't dislike it, please take care of the little brother more!" Seeing this, Xingchen is also quite polite.
