Chapter 287: Assist in the completion of the mission
"Brother Jiang, I'll take Ziqi over there......" The task began, and Xia Yu gestured to the side with Xia Ziqi.
Xia Jiang nodded, and also separated from Xia Yun'er signally, and he gathered with Luo Xiong.
"Brother Xia, you are not shallow, are they all your wives and cultivation companions?" Luo Xiong swept over the women and said half-jokingly.
Xia Jiang smiled slightly, but didn't answer this, and only said seriously: "Luo Xiong, let's talk about it, why don't you manage your team well, but come here alone to be a mercenary?" In fact, Xia Jiang also knew that if he wanted to make his mercenary group bigger, it was indeed important to be recognized by the Mercenary Kingdom Guild, but he also wanted to see what Luo Xiong had to say.
But obviously Luo Xiong's situation was not what Xia Jiang thought, so he only listened: "Brother doesn't know, I'm already alone, where are there any brothers!"
"Oh?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't know what was going on.
"It's not that I, the head of the regiment, didn't care, I went to the academy to practice, and I didn't bring a good team, as soon as they heard that there was an ownerless kingdom that was recruiting troops at a high price, they rushed there, and it didn't make sense for me to stay in the academy alone......"
"A kingdom without a lord?"
Xia Jiang couldn't help but be secretly stunned when he heard this, he didn't know before, but after the Xia Kingdom had been at war for so long, how could he not know, wasn't it the country that invaded them from the northwest where the Xia Kingdom Star City Lord's army was located?
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang immediately knew that those brothers of this Luo Xiong must have been tempted by the conditions given by the Star City Lord, and they went there one after another to become a regular army of the kingdom.
Understanding, Xia Jiang couldn't help but feel sad for Luo Xiong, his loss was small, and the loss of a group of brothers was the most important thing.
"Brother Luo, you don't have to be sad, if the mercenary group wants to become bigger, getting the recognition of the kingdom here is the most critical step, maybe brother, you will be a blessing in disguise, this will be a big change in the fate of the brother?"
Obviously, listening to Xia Jiang's words, Luo Xiong also instantly threw away those unhappy moods, became open-minded, and said: "That's what I said, and I, Luo Xiong, swear that I will definitely make a name for myself in this mercenary world in the future!"
Xia Jiang listened to Luo Xiong's firm tone, and couldn't help but have a hunch that there was definitely a person like him in the mercenary world.
......
At this moment, it was also in the 11th Regiment that thirty people were carrying out the first step of the mission, and the adjacent 10th Test Regiment in the distance was casually scanning here.
Although as a guild test mercenary group, there is only a difference in code names between regiments, and there is no cooperation between them, but as a senior one, they know that there is still a lot of competition between them.
Let's just say that these 10 and 11 test regiments, these two regiments, which side selects candidates with a high rate of passing, excellent qualifications, and the more people who are officially hired by the mercenary group, it means that the comprehensive strength of that regiment is stronger. In this way, the powerful will naturally take priority in anything in the future.
At this moment, the two captains of the 10th test group came to one place and were checking the 11th regiment.
"This time, the goal of our regiment is no longer just to achieve the top five results, but also to select a few extremely outstanding talents!" A captain looked at the newcomers of the 11th regiment, his eyes swept over quickly, and he didn't feel very good.
The captain on one side also swept it, and immediately nodded: "That's right, like 789, they have a few regiments, in vain, in fact, in addition to the quantity, the qualifications of the newcomers selected each time are not as good as ours......"
"That's right, just like the 11th regiment this time, you see them, there are a lot of people, but how many are really qualified? I'm afraid there isn't one!"
The two continued to talk, and at this moment they both looked very disdainful, as if in their eyes, the 11th regiment could not be compared to them at all, of course, it has always been so.
At this moment, everyone in the 11th regiment is doing their best to investigate the traces, and everyone is extremely eager to express themselves, and they don't want to be eliminated.
However, Xia Jiang seems to be very relaxed, for the exploration of this kind of thing, it is simply his specialty, and the discovery of various traces is naturally handy.
It was also half a day later that the whole team finally completed the task, cleaned up the area extremely clean, and it was finally time to select outstanding talents.
However, to everyone's surprise, the captain who was responsible for invigilating their mission did not want to expose the outstanding candidates, but directly reported the people who were eliminated in this mission.
"After half a day of observation by the captain, it was found that the expressions of several newcomers were relatively lacking, and these people could only wait for the next test to work hard......"
Then, as the captain reported the eliminated personnel, it was also immediately announced that the second step of the test: let everyone participate in the official task of supporting the team.
It was also here that Xia Jiang learned that there were more than 1,000 people in the 11 test group, and this time their mission was to go to a wild jungle to assist the team in hunting and capturing a few color-tailed foxes.
Because it is not a regular group, the team seems to be a little hungry in the selection of tasks, like this kind of task, that is, the task is very troublesome, but the remuneration is not high. However, discerning people can see that this kind of task can just train them as newcomers.
Besides, the "color-tailed fox" to be captured in this mission is actually an extremely powerful wild beast, this wild beast itself is not very destructive, but they have extremely high intelligence, if there are humans to capture them, it is naturally very difficult.
It is rumored that those powerful color-tailed foxes once caused tens of thousands of human teams to be lost in the wild forest with a single color-tailed fox, and finally all of them were wiped out for unknown reasons.
And this time, Xia Jiang and other new students are to assist the big team to capture the color-tailed fox, their goal is seven, as long as they can catch seven, the team will be able to get ten spirit crystals rewarded, and the team will also get credit and experience accumulation, and enhance the overall popularity and prestige.
"Listen, your main task is to assist, so you can come up with your own suggestions as a model for your team's mission......" The captain began to guide everyone through the test.
After listening to this, Xia Jiang immediately secretly analyzed, feeling that more than 1,000 of them were scattered in all directions, conducting a closed search for a large area of jungle, this method can only be regarded as the most basic hunting, it can be used for ordinary beasts, but it is definitely useless for color-tailed foxes.
After thinking about it, he immediately proposed: "First formulate a set of plans, and then let the team be divided into several groups of people, and take turns and tacitly according to the plan, so as to effectively capture the smart color-tailed fox!"
Xia Yun'er also hurriedly echoed Xia Jiang's construction: "A reconnaissance team is very necessary, if you want to arrest it, you can't startle the snake, you must first grasp the information of the color-tailed fox, and then find a way to make them neglect their precautions, and then attack in one fell swoop......"
When several captains heard the construction of the two, they immediately felt that their eyes lit up, but when they thought of the reconnaissance, they couldn't help frowning and said: "The color-tailed fox is famous for its keen sense of smell, and they can detect human breath from a distance of thousands of meters.
also heard what the captain said, and a few newcomers hurriedly gave their own ideas.
However, Xia Jiang heard about other people's construction and didn't think so, and the flaws of those construction were even greater, and immediately said: "Then let the team with the ability to cover their own aura sneak in, so that you can avoid the vigilance of the color-tailed fox." ”
While speaking, Xia Jiang also showed his hidden ability a little.
When everyone saw Xia Jiang's figure disappearing slowly, they also admired his ability a little, and he seemed to have some ability.
However, it is obvious that Xia Jiang is not the only one who will hide, and suddenly some people also like to hide, and they are all so-so, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
"But this is just the eyes can't see, and the color-tailed fox can still feel your breath!" the captain had to point out.
When Xia Jiang heard this, he also swept over these members who would hide, and said: "Then you can let everyone all disguise themselves as ordinary human hunters - everyone can paint their heads with the breath of various giant beasts, so that the team can blend into the jungle and not arouse the vigilance of the beasts......
Obviously, Xia Jiang's Jian yì was extremely bold, and some people immediately retorted, thinking that what was disguised as a hunter was simply for fear that the beasts would not know about their arrival.
However, a captain was very interested in this and said: "I don't think this little brother said it, it should be worth a try!"
Xia Jiang saw that it was not the captain who selected them from the candidate hall, and it was also the other party who supported him so much, which made him think of the outstanding expression of his previous task of cleaning up traces, obviously the other party found him powerful.
In fact, with Xia Jiang's current strength, it is really not difficult to pass the guò test to become a qualified mercenary, but he doesn't want to be so public, he wants to be low-key as a newcomer step by step, and at the same time take Xia Yu and a few people to experience this feeling, and also exercise them.
At this moment, with the support of this captain, several captains also nodded one after another, saying that they could give it a try.
Immediately, several captains took out some beasts that had been hunted from the storage ring and piled them together, and these new and old members who would hide immediately ran to roll in them, contaminated with a large amount of beast breath, so that these captains did not rely on their eyes, and they were about to think that they were beasts based on their judgment of the breath.
Then, needless to say, Xia Jiang, as the leader of this reconnaissance team, took them and began to sneak into the jungle.
Entering the jungle, Xia Jiang restrained his breath even more, and took the brunt of investigating the aura in it to find the target's traces. After a while, he locked a few area points, concluded that there were color-tailed foxes in them, and then signaled the others not to get any closer, and only let a few people be responsible for locking.
Almost more than ten minutes passed, and under the command of Xia Jiang, he finally found the area of the seven storage zài color-tailed foxes, and then passed the information to the general team.
Receiving the information, the headquarters immediately began to assign several teams to carry out accurate joint raids from the sky and from the ground. In the raid, the team jointly cast an enchantment, locked the entire area, and then quickly narrowed the range, and at the same time, the air raid team released various large nets on several regional points, not only to capture, but also to drive the color-tailed fox to gather towards the center of the lock, and then the main team at the captain level to capture it explosively.
Such a series of tacit cooperation is really foolproof.
However, in the end, it was somewhat surprising that under such close cooperation, one of the most marginal color-tailed foxes was allowed to escape, so that only six were hunted.
Seeing this situation, Xia Jiang did not regret it, but was happy, because in this way, he not only made a prominent appearance, but also did not look so magical, which was more in line with his low-key style.
Needless to say, the team did it again, picking a quiet area to start the second capture, and with their previous experience, they were a little more relaxed this time, and soon caught one again and successfully completed the mission.
