Chapter 274: Unreliable Mercenary

"In Xia Prisoner Slaughter, a few distinguished guests who don't know which side they are, welcome to our hot spring town!" Sure enough, at the moment when Xia Jiang was subconscious, the other party immediately asked, and his eyes were still staring at him.

This person is a middle-aged man, and from his words and deeds just now, Xia Jiang can see that he has a lot of status in this town, and he should be one or two levels second only to the mayor.

"Well, hello Brother Prisoner, we are travelers from the south, passing through here, we plan to rest here!" As soon as Xia Jiang heard what the other party said, he immediately knew that this person was not a wicked person, so no matter how he aroused the other party's suspicion, as long as he was honest, there would be no misunderstanding.

also looked at Xia Jiang and replied with a hearty smile, which made the prisoner man stunned slightly, but he quickly showed the questioning look just now, and said solemnly: "If you are not mistaken, now in the West Street, there is also a store between you and a few other people?" and when he said this, his face suddenly changed slightly.

This subtle change did not come out of the sight of the two people around him, and almost immediately changed color slightly.

Xia Jiang immediately sensed that the few people in front of him were already on guard, and if he did something wrong, the other party would immediately jointly attack him.

Xia Jiang is naturally not afraid of the few people in front of him, but the situation in front of him makes him more aware of the situation of this town, and he feels that the reason why the town in this desert can exist here is probably because he has an extremely keen sense of smell.

"You don't have to be nervous, it's just a puppet clone of the younger brother, after all, I don't know the depth when I first come here, so I can be considered familiar with it......" Xia Jiang didn't say about the incarnation outside the body, only said that it was a puppet, after all, the ability to incarnate outside the body is too unbelievable for people below the level of a spiritual cultivator.

When the prisoner heard Xia Jiang say this, he seemed to be a little less suspicious, and his face was relieved but he reminded: "There have been sand thieves rampant around the town recently, since the little brother is passing by here, then you must pay attention when traveling!"

"Sand thief?" Xia Jiang had heard it a long time ago, but he didn't know what kind of existence it was in this desert.

"That's right, the sand thieves make a living by plundering in this desert, often plundering small caravans in their path, and sometimes launching large-scale plundering and looting of villages and towns, where tens of thousands of people die every year at the hands of sand thieves......" The prisoner said with hatred on his face.

As Xia Jiang heard about it, he suddenly lost interest in this sand thief, and he thought that there was something special about this group of people, it turned out that they were just some small bandits.

Xia Jiang also nodded politely, expressing his gratitude to the other party for providing him with this news, and he was about to turn around and leave, but he heard the other party answer: "But a few people don't have to worry, because someone will come to the other party, and a few of them can stay in the town with peace of mind!"

Xia Jiang naturally heard it, and knew that there was a mercenary group coming, and he already knew about it, but the other party's reminder was also kind, and he also nodded gratefully, and then continued to move.

After all, the town is not very big, Xia Jiang has a total of four teams to go through half of the area in one day, and by the evening, he already knows the general situation of the town, he knows that the prisoner is the younger brother of the town mayor, and he is regarded as an assistant to the town mayor in the town, which is not surprising to him, and his prestige is second only to the deputy mayor, and he basically comes forward when the town encounters any problems.

Then the mayor of the town was an old man who had been in retreat for a long time, and it seemed that no one had seen anyone for several years.

The deputy mayor is a young man, but he often goes out, and the townspeople naturally can't count on him when he encounters this unexpected situation, and because of this, he can only rely on mercenaries to keep the town safe.

At night, Xia Jiang was originally going to meditate and cultivate, but he didn't expect the legendary sand thieves to really attack, taking advantage of the night, and under Xia Jiang's induction, they quickly laid ambushes and eyeliner around the town, and then divided a few people to do other things, and then began to invade the major stores on a large scale, but wherever there is money, all of them are the target of their attack at this moment.

Perceiving this, Xia Jiang knew that these people were really a professional thief group as described by the prisoner, and before coming here, I am afraid that they had already planned all kinds of details to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"It's really rampant......" Xia Jiang couldn't help but sigh, and then his figure flashed, and he left the hotel and quietly came to the roof of the building.

And when he came to the top of the building, he suddenly saw a dozen people suddenly rushing out of a few inconspicuous small huts, and then slashed at these sand thieves without saying a word.

Xia Jiang's eyes swept over and found that these sand thieves were not very high in cultivation, they were all at the level of cultivators, and only one or two were major cultivators, and they were only at the elementary level. However, the more than ten people who rushed out were all cultivators, not to mention, they were still low-level.

Although these people suddenly rushed out, they were really fierce, but they were quickly restrained by the other party, and then a major cultivator came to them.

"Are you mercenaries?" the Grand Cultivator rode a black and white two-headed wyvern, which was quite imposing.

In the face of the major cultivator, these people who rushed out to obviously protect the town suddenly changed color, and retreated again and again, and none of them answered the other party's questions.

Xia Jiang saw the change in the expressions of these people, and quickly determined that they should indeed be the mercenary group that the prisoner said. But at the moment, these people seem to be a little unreliable?

Sure enough, just when Xia Jiang thought so, after these people slowly retreated, they suddenly threw out a magic weapon, and under the explosion, they saw only smoke, so that the scene could not see things clearly, but the great cultivator also stood in place without ignoring it, just looking at the scene that Xia Jiang saw with his own eyes, those people actually fled quickly.

Mercenary......

In Xia Jiang's impression, the mercenaries are all powerful beings, basically their cultivation is at least at the level of cultivators, and they also attach great importance to integrity, but what he sees now makes Xia Jiang feel that he has to reposition the image of "mercenaries" in his heart.

"It's another bunch of impostors...... "Looking at the great cultivator who fled without chasing, he immediately burst out laughing.

And it was also in the midst of his laughter that Xia Jiang saw a familiar figure, yes, it was the prisoner! And with him, there were seven or eight giants who were two or three meters tall, all of whom were two or three meters tall, and they were obviously the more powerful guards in this town.

Several people split into two sides and immediately surrounded this major cultivator.

Xia Jiang's gaze swept over, and he could see that these people were all close to the Great Cultivator, which meant that this would be a big battle for a leapfrog challenge.

"Dog thief, even if we all try our best today, we will never let you have a good time!" one of them glared angrily at the great cultivator, roaring, holding a huge axe in his hand, and his muscles were bursting up, and he could see the blood flowing rapidly in the veins.

Up to now, Xia Jiang's understanding of the operation of the power of the bloodline can be said to be at the master level, far more than the understanding of the operation of the bloodline by people at the level of a spiritual cultivator, so almost the moment he looked at this giant man with an axe, he knew that he was taking the route of both strength and speed, and the weapon was the giant axe.

However, when the great cultivator saw the posture of these people, he seemed to be a little jealous, and he urged his mount violently, and he flew directly high.

Seeing this, several people immediately roared and swung their weapons at each other, but the speed was still a beat slower, allowing the other party to dodge.

Flying high, the great cultivator didn't say a word, a white sphere appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he threw it directly downward.

The white sphere was being thrown, and the arc flickered in it, and soon fell on top of the heads of these people. But it just floats above these people's heads, and then it starts to seem to be silent and there is no next change.

But the prisoner below seemed to be well-informed, and he suddenly changed color and said, "Bloodthirsty Thunderball!"

Several people looked at each other when they heard this, and it was obvious that they had never heard of this magic weapon.

I also saw that several people had never heard of it, but this prisoner had no intention of telling his companions, and actually directly swung the giant axe towards the so-called "bloodthirsty thunderball".

As soon as the captive was slashed away, some people immediately realized that the axe obviously did not carry any bloodline power, but was purely based on his own fierce strength.

In fact, Xia Jiang naturally didn't need to see this scene to know that the bloodthirsty thunderball was a magic weapon that could absorb the power of the bloodline and launch a powerful lightning strike, simply put, once someone launched any magic weapon attack that relied on the power of the bloodline against this thunderball, then the thunderball would launch a more powerful thunderbolt attack on the enemy.

Therefore, this prisoner did not dare to use the power of the bloodline at all, nor did he explain, trying to directly abolish this magic weapon with an axe.

But apparently the opponent didn't seem to be stupid, and he waved another staff out of thin air, heading towards the slaughter point, and suddenly the silent thunderball suddenly rolled the arc, and then launched a lightning strike towards the target.

Boom -

A huge thunderbolt rang out, and a thunderbolt struck directly on the giant axe of the prisoner.

I saw that the prisoner who was still powerful was still powerful, and when his giant axe saw the lightning strike, the whole person instantly froze in mid-air, and his body was directly scorched black and smoking, and the whole person fell heavily from mid-air.

Seeing this, several of his companions were immediately extremely angry, and immediately all of them roared and slashed out into the air, and all kinds of metal weapons and magic weapons exploded.

But at the moment when they jointly launched it, the thunderball, which was originally only slightly tumbling and spinning, suddenly swelled up, from the size of all to the size of a basin, and then exploded into several huge thunderbolts in an instant.

This......

Xia Jiang couldn't stand it when he looked at it, feeling that except for the prisoners, these giants were all brainless guys, knowing the effect of the enemy's magic weapon, they had to take the initiative to trigger it, it was simply self-defeating.

That's right, compared to the thunder and lightning that the prisoner faced, the power was not great, but now that these people burst out with the power of the bloodline, they directly increased the power of this thunderball several times, and a few people couldn't resist this blow with this point of cultivation.

It was also at this time that Xia Jiang knew that he had to make a move, otherwise none of these giants would want to survive.
