Chapter 292: Promotion to First-Class Mercenary
The three girls overcame all obstacles, and finally walked out of this long gorge and came to a new realm. At a glance, it is a huge canyon that hides countless treasures, but compared to before, the figures here are not so dense.
Xia Yun'er's eyes swept over, and now she could almost see that the traces of the seven people had gone to an area in the northeast, and she immediately stepped forward.
As she walked, Xia Yun'er found that there were fewer and fewer soft ground along the way, but the traces were getting heavier and heavier, which almost gave her an intuition that this was the reason why they might encounter danger, because of carelessness.
Sure enough, as soon as her instinct struck, she saw that all traces had stopped in an area of almost mud in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Xia Yu on the side saw that Xia Yun'er didn't stop, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Dig three feet into the ground to find them!" At this moment, Xia Jiang's voice immediately came.
After Xia Jiang found the traces just now, he immediately turned around and hurried here, thanks to Xia Yun'er and others opening the way, so that he could come faster, and only then did he find that the traces of the Seven Girls disappeared without a trace when they came to this muddy land.
As he spoke, Xia Jiang squatted down, pressed one hand to the ground, and the power of devouring demons invaded with all his might, and the situation of the space below quickly entered his mind.
Within the scope of the power of devouring demons, the traces and information of a qiē became clearer.
Ten meters, twenty meters......
It wasn't until more than a hundred meters that Xia Jiang discovered the breath of the Seven Women...... The seven daughters were all devoured by a huge plant, and it seemed that there was no chance of survival.
Hey!
Xia Jiang had just come up with this thought, but he suddenly noticed a trace of fluctuation in the breath of the Seven Women, among the hundreds of flower buds.
"Be careful!"
Sensing this, Xia Jiang immediately reminded the three of them, then took out the ironclad beast mount and drilled directly into the ground.
The ironclad beast is best at drilling into the ground, and now it is still a muddy ground, and with the help of Xia Jiang's demon-devouring power to open the way, the speed is even faster, and it is a hundred meters below in a blink of an eye.
"What kind of weird plant is this?"
Coming to a hundred meters down, Xia Jiang opened up a space, and saw that here, almost a kilometer below the ground is a huge plant, originally these plants looked like ordinary man-eating flowers, but the difference is that each of these buds even has human-like eyes, which is extremely terrifying.
Xia Jiang felt a little disgusted, and the Demon Devouring Sword slashed off a flower bud in one fell swoop.
Cut the bud again, and then there was a person who looked like a girl, but Xia Jiang looked down again, but he couldn't help but feel a mood, most of the girl's two legs have been assimilated by the bud, and the bud itself is connected, and then look carefully at the whole body, the body is also the color of the bud, obviously the infection has been deep.
"Help me!" Just as Xia Jiang was stunned, the woman shouted.
Xia Jiang looked again, the girl's discolored eyes were closed, but her mouth was trembling, but he immediately sensed that outside the bud, there was a pair of eyes wide open.
The girl had almost become a flower.
Xia Jiang didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly rescued the seal, and then thought of a way to do it next, and at the same time, he immediately slashed in a series of blows, cutting off the buds of several other girlish breaths.
However, among them, Xia Jiang also sensed that there seemed to be some fluctuations in other people, and it seemed that there were far more than the seven of them who were swallowed by this strange plant at the same time.
The task was important, Xia Jiang soared out of the ground, and under the sword qi, he visited the seven girls on the dry ground next to him.
Yes!
When the girls saw the appearance of the seventh girl, they were suddenly a little frightened.
"Xia Jiang, can they still be saved?" Xia Yun'er came into contact with the power of devouring demons, and found that several people's bodies were almost eroded by flower buds, and several of them had no signs of life.
Xia Jiang shook his head almost immediately, but at the same time, he immediately struck, and the power of devouring demons invaded the seven people's bodies, and began to expel the internal organs and bloodlines that had been eroded by the flower buds.
The organs of the body are secondary, the important things are bloodlines, and the blood system cannot be assimilated by the buds, so it will be troublesome.
It was also under Xia Jiang's efforts that he found that because he had cut off the connection with the big plant, the infection of the seven petals on the Seven Girls had also stopped, so that all the qiē in his body were in a static state, which would help him repair.
A few minutes passed, and each of the seven people had an incarnation of Xia Jiang beside them, stopped their hands one after another, and disappeared.
"How?"
"Three can be completely recovered, one is afraid that he can only be a flower girl, as for their ......" Xia Jiang couldn't continue, obviously the other three had already been saved. Unfortunately, although he has a strong healing ability, he cannot bring the dead back to life.
"Why is this so, the task can't be completed perfectly...... Xia Yu suddenly said with some regret, but his words were obviously sad for the three dead little sisters.
"Let's go!" Xia Jiang said decisively.
Xia Jiang was even more rapid this time, directly taking a few people to board the giant frog, and came to the starting place with a jump.
There was also a signal transmission, and the team quickly assembled.
When the captain heard the results of Xia Jiang's report, although he regretted it, he was more concerned about the safety of the surviving women, and at the same time wanted to know what happened to them.
The first girl to be rescued by Xia Jiang was also the fastest to be restored by Xia Jiang and restored her body functions, and she was the first to wake up. His gaze swept over the crowd, and he reacted extremely quickly, knowing what was happening almost immediately, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Little sister, don't be sad yet, let's talk about what happened to you, right?" Xia Yun'er was already sad when she saw that she obviously knew what happened to her and her friends, but their relatives were still worried, and they were also in a hurry.
Faced with Xia Yun'er's inquiry, the girl choked for a while, and then recalled the scene of that day.
I really didn't think there was any heavy meaning if I didn't listen to it, but after hearing this, Xia Jiang was a little angry.
It turned out that the team of seven of them did not act alone, but jointly hired a mercenary group with some people, so that this mercenary group could protect their safety all the way, but they didn't expect the leader of this mercenary group to be lustful, constantly beating the ideas of several of them, and stunning them on the way, and then when they woke up, the mercenary group was gone, leaving them and the adventure group of the same academy isolated and in the depths of the canyon.
Needless to say, Xia Jiang knew almost everything by his intuition, and this whole thing means that all the responsibility should be borne by the mercenary group.
"Little sister, don't worry, we will report this matter to the guild......" Xia Jiang saw that he fell into great sadness again, and Xia Jiang hurriedly reassured.
Either way, the mission came to an end, and the team immediately began to return.
Three tasks in a row, one failed, one barely succeeded, and one half succeeded, such a result is undoubtedly not ideal for Xia Jiang and others. However, the next regimental commander gave them team medals in an exceptional way, and they were all officially promoted to first-class mercenaries.
"Although the task has not been successfully completed, your performance is already the best...... Next, you will wait for the recruitment of those mercenary groups!" The head of the regiment said competently and quickly, smiled at Xia Jiang and the others, and turned to leave.
Obviously, Xia Jiang didn't expect that everyone would be certified as medals or first-class mercenaries, although it was a pity, it was also gratifying.
Then they really didn't have anything to do, and they basically began to wait to be recruited by the major mercenary groups, and during this time, according to the guild's regulations, they should not go to accept any tasks privately for the time being, so as not to find anyone by then.
And it was also when Xia Jiang and the others were in this state that he learned that the leader of the mercenary group who was accused by the squad leader was not punished by the guild for some reason.
"There must be someone behind this person, and he is not punished like this......" Xia Jiang was obviously unhappy when he learned this result.
On the other hand, the team leader on the other side told a secret: "I heard that the person behind this person is a member of the Dillon Mercenary Regiment." ”
He said this simple sentence, which can completely explain why he is at large.
All walks of life in this world have high and low ranking, and mercenary groups are naturally no exception. The top ten mercenary groups in the mercenary world today are Purple League, Dillon, Purple Jade, Chiyan, Purple Cloth, White Scorpion, Blue Eagle, Star Alliance, Blood Knife, and Cangxiong.
Among the top ten mercenary groups, the current strength of the Purple League and Dillon has always been a mystery, the original strength of the Purple Alliance is undoubtedly the first in the mercenary world, and it is an absolute giant, but because of a change decades ago, there was a split, and the overall influence of the guide zhì has declined sharply. And it is said that among them, "Purple Jade" and "Purple Clothes" are mercenary groups split from the Purple Alliance, and as a result, the Purple Alliance mercenary group is silently ranked behind Dillon in the hearts of some people.
"So in other words, the strongest mercenary group in the mercenary world today is likely to be Dillon......"
When the team leader said this, everyone also understood why the guild didn't want to punish that person directly, because it was obvious that this small mercenary group was an attachment of Dillon, and the so-called dog beating also depended on the master, even the guild did not dare to attack Dillon casually.
Although guilds seem to have the authority of kingdoms or even empires, they are much inferior to Dillon's influence and value.
After that, Xia Jiang never heard any news about punishing the leader of the mercenary group, and he began to stay with a few people in the guild as a waiting area for their exclusive use.
This area is also large enough, and there are probably tens of thousands of people in the same situation, waiting to be recruited by the mercenary group. And there is no doubt that some of these people on call may be favored by the well-known mercenary group the next day, while others may not be favored for several years, which is extremely miserable. However, Xia Jiang knew that if they were still not favored by the mercenary group after a year, they could go out to accept the mission at will, without any restrictions from the guild.
"Did you hear that the leader of the 11th test group is going to challenge the leader of a mercenary group!"
Almost the next day, Xia Jiang, the leader of the mercenary group who also didn't let go of the evil in his heart, heard the news that it was the head of their 11th test group that had issued a supreme challenge to the head of the mercenary world.
