Chapter Ninety-Six: The Crisis of the Overlord
"What a fool!"
This hasn't been seen yet, so Lu Chengfeng can't help but roll his eyes. He simply took off his hood, bent down to pick up the talisman dropped by the man in black, threw it to them, and said, "This thing can resist the invasion of carrion poison, and it can also save you from the active attack of carrion, so don't hurry up and take it closely." ”
"Haha...... I'm sorry, but you just played it so realistically. ”
The sixth-order mercenary leader was the first to react, touched his head, and laughed a little embarrassedly. It was also at this time that the remaining three mercenaries finally determined that the person in front of them was their own, and they couldn't help but relax completely. Who would have thought, because of the previous fight too hard, this slack suddenly became a little exhausted, and they sat on the ground one after another.
There were four mercenaries in total, and the talismans dropped by the men in black were enough. After distributing these life-saving talismans to each person, the sword hero breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Lu Chengfeng, and said gratefully: "If it weren't for Your Excellency's help, the people of our Eternal Mercenary Group would have been here today." When you get out, the grace of saving your life will be rewarded!"
"Well said. ”
Lu Chengfeng looked around vigilantly while responding, and after seeing that it was safe for the time being, he spoke: "What are you going to do next?"
The leader of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment was obviously also thinking about this issue, and when he heard this, he said, "Our original idea was to rush out directly. Because the black aura in this enchantment is too powerful, it needs to be used all the time to resist it, so it is impossible to last. However, it didn't take long for those men in black to appear, and we were lucky enough to rush here. Otherwise, if they are surrounded, they will die. As for now...... Naturally, listen to your opinion, brother. ”
Probably aware of Lu Chengfeng's extraordinaryness, this swordsman rarely called a fourth-order swordsman a brother.
"That's right. Lu Chengfeng gave a general introduction to the situation outside, and said: "If you want to break through, it is difficult for the time being. But don't worry, my friend has already grabbed a Magada and flew back to Kaiyang. It won't be long before the masters of Kaiyang and the reinforcements of the Apocalypse Sect will rush over. ”
"There's already news back to Kaiyang?"
Lu Chengfeng's words made the eyes of several people in the Eternal Mercenary Group light up.
Everyone knew that Magadha could fly much faster than a warrior could cross the endless forest from the ground. It doesn't seem to be long before they're safe.
"Exactly. Lu Chengfeng affirmed the news, and then said: "Now, there are two choices in front of you. First, hide in a secluded place. With the talisman amulet, you can stay in the enchantment until the priesthood masters of the Apocalypse Order come to your aid. The second one may be more dangerous, that is, while the net of the men in black has been spread, it is difficult to control it for the time being, and the news is not easy to transmit, so disguise yourself as them with me and look for opportunities in the enchantment. ”
"What ...... this?"
The three members of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment were a little entangled.
Intellectually speaking, the barrier is very dangerous, and the safest way is undoubtedly to hide until reinforcements arrive. However, several mercenaries just came to hunt for treasure, but they were inexplicably put on a table and almost turned into rotting corpses. With such a grudge in front of you, if you don't take revenge, it's really hard to swallow this breath in your heart!
"I'll go with you, you three, find a place to hide first and wait for Kaiyang's reinforcements. ”
At the critical moment, the commander of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment made a final decision and issued an order. Probably afraid that Lu Chengfeng would have some ideas, he deliberately explained: "None of the mercenaries in our regiment are of a bad breed. It's just that their consumption in the battle just now was too great, and even if they sneak attack with the past, it may not be of much use, but it may drag everyone down. As their leader, I'll go with you, even for their share!"
It can be seen that this regiment commander is still very prestigious. As soon as he spoke, the already open mouths of the three mercenaries were closed, and they all agreed.
"Very good, then everyone hurry up, those few men in black who left are estimated to be back soon, it's not safe here!"
When it came to their own lives, the three mercenaries barely managed to pack themselves up, despite being sore and weak. After succinctly cleaning up the traces, the three of them said to Lu Chengfeng and the head of the regiment and left quickly. The swordsman also stripped off the clothes from the man in black who was the right body shape and put them on his body, completing a simple makeup.
The hood was on, the talisman was hung up, and it looked like a man in black again.
"Gone. Lu Chengfeng greeted and continued to march towards the depths of the ruins with this powerful thug.
At this time, the man in black who was in charge of leading the operation may have received information that someone had impersonated them to break into the interior. It's just that their subordinates have already dispersed into the ruins to encircle and suppress the mercenaries, and they won't be notified for a while. Lu Chengfeng and the leader of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment used this time to rescue as many people as possible and bring more trouble to those men in black.
"A little further on, it should be the territory divided by the Flying Bear Mercenary Group, and I don't know what their situation is. To the east, it's the people of the Sword Tyrant Mercenary Group. Their head was well-known in the entire Kaiyang, and he was a powerhouse of the seventh order. I guess their people should still survive......" As he walked, the leader of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment introduced this information to Lu Chengfeng.
"Not necessarily, these men in black are obviously targeted and sent out to attack. The people who dominate the sword are strong, but the black-clothed people who attack them are estimated to be the most. ”
"That's just as well. ”
The two exchanged views as they continued their search. Not long after, in the territory of the suspected Sword Mercenary Group, Lu Chengfeng and the leader of the Eternal Mercenary Group heard the sound of fighting again.
"They're still there!"
The leader of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment judged the direction and immediately quickened his pace.
Lu Chengfeng also followed, and soon saw the target in the middle of a ruin. There were still six people left in the sword squad at the moment, and the middle-aged man at the head, wearing a heavy earthy yellow fighting armor, took the lead in the front. Behind him, there were two sixth-order swordsmen, and three fifth-order swordsmen.
It's just that, to Lu Chengfeng's surprise, it was not the black-clothed man who besieged them, but nearly a hundred carrion corpses.
These carrions ranged from blood-red hungry carrions to grayish-white acid carrions with corrosive liquids on their attacks. In the center of these zombies, there are even cursers who were mutated by fifth-order swordsmen before their deaths. Driven by the men in black, these abominable monsters attacked the people of the Sword Tyrant Mercenary Group from all directions.
Around them, there were also several corpses of men in black and mercenaries.
Obviously, in the previous battle, the man in black who stood with an absolute advantage did not take advantage and was killed by the man who oversaw the sword. For the sake of safety, they felt that they had enough time to come up with the idea of driving the carrion corpses and consuming the sword mercenary group.
In normal times, these fourth- and fifth-order monsters may not be able to threaten them, but under the effect of the enchantment, the people who dominate the sword must always consume their fighting energy to resist the invasion of black aura, which greatly increases their burden. If you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid that before the rotting corpses are killed, the sword overlord will not be able to hold it first.
"What should I do?"
Seeing that the situation was worse than imagined, the leader of the Eternal Mercenary Group couldn't help frowning, and turned to look at Lu Chengfeng.
If the situation here is like the one just now, and the men in black and the mercenaries fight together, they can fish in troubled waters. But now, the people who attacked the sword were cannon fodder rotting corpses, and the men in black were just loosely surrounded. If you act rashly at this time, not only will you not be able to help, but you will put yourself in it.
You must know that among the black-clothed people who appeared here, there was a seventh-order powerhouse who was personally in charge!
If it is hard, it is unlikely, and the current situation is already very unfavorable to the sword team. Once those rotting corpses who are not afraid of death are consumed, the remaining black-clothed people will rush forward, even if Lu Chengfeng and the sixth-order swordsmen around him raid and kill two or three people, they may not be able to change the overall situation.
After all, there were too many sixth- and seventh-order masters among these black-clothed people!
If at this time, Lu Chengfeng had the strength of the fifth order, relying on a few major killing moves, he would dare to give it a go. However, if you are a fourth-order, it is better to be safer. After a deep groan, Lu Chengfeng looked at the embarrassed Jianhao beside him and made up his mind: "You stay here, I'll go over and try and see if I can get them away." ”
"Huh?"
The leader of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You are only a fourth-order, they may not believe your words." If something slips up, they'll kill you with ease!"
"Rest assured. ”
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand and said calmly: "I have a certain degree of confidence to make them believe, even if it doesn't work, they can basically get out of the way." ”
With the inheritance equipment in hand, and the talisman scroll sent by the sisters of the Liu family, Lu Chengfeng was confident that those black-clothed people would not be able to keep him. After all, he seemed to be only a fourth-order, and those men in black would definitely not care too much. And once he succeeds, helping the sword overlord to break the siege, and having such a group of masters in his hands, Lu Chengfeng will be able to snowball to expand the advantages of the mercenaries, and then do more things.
"Don't you want it...... That's a seventh-order master!"
The leader of the Eternal Mercenary Regiment was a very down-to-earth person, and he persuaded bitterly: "Do you know how strong the strength of the seventh-order master is? As long as your identity is revealed, there is no possibility of escaping. No matter how fast you run, you can't fly as fast as your sword energy, right?"
"Don't be nervous. ”
Lu Chengfeng still said the same thing, and said to him in a confident tone: "Have a little confidence in me, okay? I will never do things that I am not sure of." Moreover, if no one saves it, the sword overlord will be finished. Now, in the entire Spirit Clan Ruins, I'm afraid that the only people who have the ability to help are you and me. With great ability comes great responsibility, doesn't it?"
