Chapter 2: Rune Tent
The young dead man's will was not so strong, and even the black lady did not have time to show him many tricks one by one, he was already crying and explaining everything.
As the Lord expected, this group of black-clothed dead soldiers was a low-level disciple from the Senluo Holy Sect, who came here to explore the old site of the Holy Sect and the whereabouts of the Dragon Clan's holy weapon. As for why they ambushed the passing mercenaries in this snowy field, the young dead man was also vague, saying that he did not know. However, when she saw the black lady approaching him with a thin needle coated with green liquid, she immediately said with a sad face: "I have already explained everything I know about the Dao, and the core information of this mission is in the hands of the adults of the Twelve Holy Guards, and a low-level disciple like me doesn't know the true situation of the Dao at all!"
"He's probably not lying. Mu Xibai sighed, and asked with a not very good-looking face: "That Twelve Holy Guards, is it your leader? In other words, there are still people behind the scenes directing your actions?"
The young dead man looked frightened, as if he had thought of some terrible memory, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't ask me! I have already said everything I know, don't ask me again!"
This sudden state of madness shocked Mu Xibai and the others, and the black lady hurriedly restrained him with a silver needle, but he twitched desperately and wanted to resist.
"It's useless, we've already fallen under the spell, and if we dare to reveal the things of those adults in the Holy Sect, we'll end up like this. He is still young and will be defeated by your means, but Lord Yamadarsa's divine might is beyond the imagination of you weaklings. ”
The middle-aged dead man looked disdainful, glanced at the young dead man who was rolling on the ground and convulsing, and shouted, "Come with me to see God!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pounced on the young dead man, and then he actually triggered some kind of special rune, and a surging heat wave came out from the two of them, and even a shocking explosion sounded, and when the few people who were a little closer were shaken away, the position where the two dead men were located had turned into a burning sea of fire.
"It's a flame rune. Mu Xibai waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him and said in a deep voice.
Flame runes are also a method often used by their Flame Mercenary Regiment. But compared to this dead man, the way their Flame Mercenary Regiment was used was more than a star and a half.
Although the death turmoil has been lifted, the faces of the mercenaries present are a little ugly. They just wanted to participate in the mission of the Flame Mercenary Group to earn a high commission, who would have thought that it would involve such a powerful force of the Senluo Holy Sect, coupled with the old site of the Holy Sect mentioned by the young dead man, as well as the dragon holy weapons, etc., so that many quick-thinking mercenaries realized that this mission was definitely not as simple as they imagined.
Including the Black Lady, many mercenaries with outstanding strength began to show thoughtful expressions, and when they looked at each other, their eyes were a little suspicious.
However, Yi Caixing took a few people from the Fengyun Mercenary Group to start cleaning the battlefield, and after counting the wounded a little, he said: "We have about more than 20 seriously injured people, and more than 40 people have been lightly injured. I suggest sending the lightly wounded to bring the seriously wounded back to the town, otherwise they will be a drag on us if they follow us. ”
"Makes sense, so let's do it. Mu Xibai rubbed his eyebrows, and then sent more than a dozen lightly injured people to send the seriously injured mercenaries back to the town, and then looked at the team that had just stepped into the deep mountains, and there was already a trace of estrangement, and said coldly: "Those who still want to continue to participate in this mission are better not to have any ghost thoughts." If I find out that any of you dare to make a small move, don't blame me for being merciless. ”
"Check our baggage and supplies, and continue on our way. ”
Although some mercenaries had a hundred reluctances in their hearts, at this moment, no one would show it.
Yi Caixing put the long sword back into its sheath, walked to Bai Yang's side while the team was busy, and smiled at him: "Thanks to you just now, otherwise we might still be in the dark." How did you find out they were dead?"
Bai Yang also returned a polite smile and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a coincidence." ”
"Interesting. Yi Caixing smiled meaningfully, and did not continue to dwell on this topic, but said: "I see that your observation skills are very good, are you interested in joining my mercenary group?" Although the salary may not be too high, it will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Join a mercenary group?
Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this matter, because he made this mercenary identity just to facilitate the birth of the golden dragon this time. And Black Tiger also had some intention of recruiting him before, but he politely refused, like Yi Caixing, who bluntly said that he wanted to recruit him into the group, Bai Yang couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse for a while.
However, he suddenly felt a gaze full of murderous intent coming from the side, and couldn't help but tilt his head, but he saw Dian Qianshan, who had knife marks on his face, staring at him while sorting out supplies.
"This guy ......" Bai Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly, turned his head to Yi Caixing and said, "I think it's better to forget it, because there are people in your team who don't welcome me." ”
Alluding to the extremely bad attitude of Dian Qianshan, Yi Caixing looked at it, glared at Dian Qianshan sternly, and then smiled apologetically: "It's okay, you can think about it again, my invitation is valid at any time." ”
"Hmm. ”
Bai Yang didn't continue to answer, and Yi Caixing also continued to go to the side to be busy with supplies.
This patchwork team soon set off again, and this time they didn't encounter any ambushes on the road, not even a demon beast, this strange silence made Mu Xibai's heart more and more uneasy, and couldn't help but send a few mercenaries to guard around, then looked at the sky, and said lightly: "We've been walking for almost half a day, let's rest in place." Pay attention to the surrounding guards, but don't capsize in such places. ”
The deeper you go into the mountains, the more dangers lurk in the shadows. Don't look at the sky is still bright now, there is no danger on the path, but as long as it is dark, those demon beasts hidden in their nests will pour into their nests, because night has always been the favorite time of many demon beasts, and there are many mercenary groups with good strength, which are taken lightly at night, and the most lull is turned into a hungry thing by those demon beasts whose strength is not so terrifying.
After clearing the surrounding snow and picking up some dead branches to make a fire, the team of about a hundred mercenaries left set up camp in the same place, and one after another simple rune tents were set up, and occasionally some rune tents of good quality appeared, which made many mercenaries cast envious eyes.
Rune tents were just made by alchemists who were proficient in runes, but later the alchemists discovered that this kind of tent was extremely versatile, and it slowly became popular.
It is said that a high-level rune tent can almost withstand a medium-level defensive fortress, even a strong person in the Tian Yuan Realm is difficult to break, and even if you search the entire Southern Wilderness Continent, you may not be able to find a few of that kind of extravagant things, and only the great families of the Eastern Capital Continent can enjoy it.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd, Mu Xibai, who was looking at the map of the deep mountains, frowned, followed the prestige, but saw Xu Ruyi set up a medium-grade rune tent, the exquisite workmanship showed its good value, and the complex defensive runes made many mercenaries marvel.
Mu Xibai stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "How did you take out the captain's treasure?"
Xu Ruyi said proudly: "When you go out, of course you have to be kind to yourself." There is a lot of space in this tent, let's go, brother, let's rest first. ”
With that, she swooped into the tent.
Mu Xibai smiled bitterly, and after a few thoughts, he also walked in helplessly.
Looking at this scene that happened not far away, Yi Caixing's eyes showed a hint of envy, and then he hid his emotions very well, clapped his palms and said, "Come, let's set up the tent too." Point a thousand mountains, you will be responsible for the vigil in the first half of the night, and I will come in the second half of the night. ”
Dian Qianshan took a deep look at the mid-level rune tent that stood among the many tents like a flock of chickens, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's unreasonable to spend money on such a broken thing. ”
But the sourness in the tone is very strong.
Their Fengyun mercenary group's funds have always been tight, so naturally they don't have any idea about the kind of tent that costs as much as a dozen high-grade spirit stones, and even the tent they live in is the kind of low-level rune tent that is extremely shabby, and I don't know how many times it has changed hands. At most, there is a kind of cold rune engraved on it, and even the poisonous insects in the mountains are difficult to prevent.
After the tent of the Fengyun Mercenary Group was set up, the black lady walked over with graceful steps, and looked at Yi Caixing, who was busy around with an expressionless face, with a smile: "Widow Yi, you won't be able to? I'll just say, you widow must have ruined her husband's family business a long time ago, and even I, an outsider, can't look down on my old brother who has followed you so hard. ”
Yi Caixing's face was pale, but he didn't say a word, buried his head in the bonfire, and then said to his team: "Come, prepare to eat something, and then go into the tent to rest." ”
"Yo, this handsome young man, don't you want to squeeze in that small and torn cloak with them, do you?" Suddenly, the black lady's eyes lit up slightly, and she grabbed Bai Yang, who was about to drill into the tent, and smiled softly: "It's better to go to my sister's side, it's much warmer than squeezing with a man's wife." ”
Bai Yang was suddenly pulled by someone, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to speak, but Yi Caixing said in a cold voice: "Black lady, I will endure you again and again, don't deceive people too much!"
