653 Deaths

The second type is the lone adventurer. They may join a team on an expedition, but most of the time they do it alone.

Although you are alone, there is also a little advantage, that is, you don't have to worry about being worn from behind by your companions when you find something good.

This group of people usually only moves around the periphery of the forest that they are familiar with, and rarely goes deep, and if they see something that is not going for them, they will immediately escape with the help of their familiarity with the forest. Run into a safe area.

So eight out of ten times such a lone adventurer enters the forest, he returns empty-handed. But as long as there is a harvest once, then all the harvest belongs to him alone, and it is enough to eat and drink. There are even some lucky lucky people who can find a treasure in the forest, and when they come out, they will get rich and return to their hometown to live a rich and prosperous life, without having to carry their heads here

I eat mixed rice.

As for the third type, it is actually the most dangerous and xenophobic one.

That is the elite small army sent by the surrounding countries to disguise themselves as adventurers.

In fact, there are not many such groups, they do not indicate their identity, but they can still be seen through the unique temperament of the soldiers. If you meet this group of people in the big forest, then you don't have to worry too much. Usually they don't attack you, and these armies that belong to the country come to the Great North Slope with a clear goal.

The army rarely robs anyone unless you get in their way.

Therefore, although this group of people is the strongest and the most organized, they are a relatively safe group.

And at this moment, there were a lot of adventurers gathered outside the town, and Ye Chen probably swept it and found that it was basically the second type. Solo adventurers.

As for the most dangerous first and the safest third, they are not seen.

This is actually quite normal.

The first and third types of adventurers who are well organized usually choose to set out in the morning with the noisy rabble.

Most of them were ready to go into the forest at night.

The lone adventurers, on the other hand, were not organized, and if they wanted to form a team, they had to wait until the morning when everyone was up to greet them.

Ye Chen followed the crowd to the entrance of the town, and almost all the solo adventurers would come out to take a look at this time of day, although they didn't trust each other, they would still habitually see if there was a good team.

Ye Chen walked over with the crowd, shrunk in the crowd and did not speak, just quietly observed. There are quite a few recruits, or they want to form a team of three or five people, or they want to form a medium-sized team of a dozen people. It can be seen that this group of lone adventurers is still relatively clear about each other's details, and they are whispering to each other below, saying who has a good reputation and can be trusted.

Whoever is a famous eater must not go to Yunyun with him.

Ye Chen listened unmoved, but most of the places discussed in these teams were on the outskirts of the forest, and Ye Chen was not interested in joining them.

And only one team caught his attention.

It was a team of nearly thirty people.

That team is going to Yilong Lake. And the people in the team are also very eye-catching. There were eleven people in that team, and they were clearly not ordinary adventurers.

Although they all covered their heads tightly with thick cloths and hats, and only showed a pair of eyes like Ye Chen, judging from the momentum on their bodies and the small movements they inadvertently revealed, these eleven people were not adventurers!

They are military men!

Of course, this is not only Ye Chen can see, but other old fritter adventurers can also see it, so despite the fanciful things over there, there are still no people willing to go over to participate.

Only the poor, crazy, or the newest adventurers who have just arrived on the Great North Slope and have not yet sharpened their eyes will go over there.

And their side seems to be very lenient in the selection of people, as long as they reach more than one heavy wave, they can be taken under their command.

Then the question arises, what do they have to do with so many people when they have such low requirements?

Naturally, there is only one answer, cannon fodder!

Yes, these eleven soldiers don't need sophisticated adventurers who are good at and adaptable, but just some cannon fodder. And they have gathered more than 30 people so far and still refuse to act, so it means that they need another kind of person besides cannon fodder, guides!

And now the guide who is familiar with the Great North Slope has not yet appeared.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and leaned his body over.

"Can I join?"

With a hoarse voice, he asked a question, and the slender martial artist in charge of recruiting people looked Ye Chen up and down: "Take off the hood." ”

Ye Chen took off the hood as he said, revealing a white-haired head, a wrinkled face, and a white beard and eyebrows.

"Old man?" The slender martial artist looked at Ye Chen and frowned slightly: "How old are you?"

"Oh, I can't remember. I think I'll be 100 years old in a year or two. Ye Chen said with a flattering smile.

"100 years old?" the tall and thin warrior was slightly stunned.

The strength shown by Ye Chen now is that he is a heavy wave, and he has such a cultivation at nearly a hundred years old, and it is really a waste of wood.

However, it is not uncommon, as long as the Broken Waves is not seriously ill and not seriously injured, it is normal to live more than one hundred and forty or fifty.

"You're from this prison in the town of Israel?"

Ye Chen shook his head, he couldn't say yes, there were still many people around watching it. Some are people who have been in the town all year round.

"I came from the west, and I offended people over there, and I couldn't get along with it, so I came to the town of Prison and Fang. ”

"West?" The tall and thin warrior pondered for a moment: "Are you familiar with the Great North Slope?"

Ye Chen smiled: "It's not familiar to say, this forest is too big." It's not the same everywhere. Who dares to say that he can take on the two words familiarity? Just a little acquaintance, there is still something. ”

"Where's Yilong Lake?

"No, I've just heard of it. ”

"It's done, monkey, that's him. I've been waiting for a long time, and I can't wait for any good candidates. Another burly unreasonable warrior on the side walked over and said in a low voice.

This man looked at the abnormality of his shoulders and the abnormality of his strength. It was obvious that he was wearing heavy iron armor under the thick cotton jacket, otherwise it would never have been like this.

The man called Monkey hesitated a little when he heard this, and asked Ye Chen to wait here, while he ran to a martial artist in the group who had been standing outside and whispered a few words.

Although the martial artist was also covered under a thick cotton jacket, he could still see that he was slender and straight, maybe ordinary people couldn't see it, but Ye Chen could see at a glance that she was a woman!

It turns out that the leader of this small army of eleven people turned out to be a woman?

At that time, the woman listened to the monkey's report, and seemed to hesitate for a moment, and walked towards Ye Chen, and when she came to him, a pair of dark eyes stared at him and asked, "Do you know anything about the insects and snakes in the forest?"

Ye Chen nodded: "This old man is no problem. I've spent most of my life in the big forest. ”

The woman thought about it and said: "This time I went to Yilong Lake, the harvest belongs to us, we must strictly implement our orders to do things, we can't make extraneous branches, after the matter is completed, I will pay you ten gold coins." These are two, and I'll give you eight more when it's done. ”

Ye Chen had also heard about such rules from Lao Wang and Yi Ye Qing yesterday.

This is generally the attitude of the army. They usually have a clear purpose and don't do anything outside of their mission. Even if a rare and easy-to-kill rare beast ran in front of them, as long as it had nothing to do with their mission, they would treat it as if they didn't see it. Adventurers, on the other hand, are likely to temporarily abandon their mission to hunt Warcraft. In this way, there will be a conflict with the military.

After many adventurers led the way and were slaughtered by the army in the Great Forest, the adventurers of the Great Northern Slope also understood the style of the army and could not make any extraneous branches.

Once you are in the forest with them, then what you have to do is what you do.

If you do things honestly, usually the army will not kill people in the big forest. The remuneration is guaranteed, and it is still relatively affordable.

Of course, it is not excluded that sometimes the army also enters the forest with a special purpose. And this purpose is kept secret, so those who follow them in should not think about coming out alive again.

This is also the reason why most experienced adventurers do not like to go into the forest with military personnel.

It has nothing to do with whether they can live or not, only with the purpose of the soldiers. This feeling that my life is up to me is difficult for ordinary adventurers to accept.

"Thank you, thank you, old man, I have been running all my life, the rules are understood, you can rest assured. Ye Chen hurriedly pretended to be grateful, and took the gold coin and put it away.

The female warrior frowned when she saw him like this, "You seem to be very precious to these two gold coins?"

yes, is this what a seasoned adventurer should look like?

What Ye Chen wanted was her question, and he immediately sighed, put on a sad look and said, "Cough, I'm getting older, and my legs and feet are not as flexible as before." People dislike me. But I'm clear here. ”

As he spoke, he poked his head.

This time it fell into the arms of the female warrior. She just wants a guide, not a martial arts master.

It is important to know that although the large forest covers a large area, the plants in it are also distributed according to the climate. The farther north it went, the colder it became, and the plants were very different from the south side of the Great North Slope, the entrance to the forest where they were now.

But because of the proximity of the climate between the east and the west, the forests are very similar.

Ye Chen just said that he has been mixing in the west, so it means that he should also know about the environmental plant species of the forest outside the town of Guyifang a little further east.

This is also a statement deliberately arranged by Ye Chen after figuring out the other party's thoughts. And now it's passed.

.........

In the snow-covered forest, a group of thirty or so people walked quietly, and only the soft creaking of feet into the snow could be heard. There was also the occasional click of breaking a small dead branch.

A pair of vigilant eyes look around, not revealing a little dark corner.

The weapon is not drawn, but the body is adjusted to the most suitable state for jumping and dodging, and can react quickly whenever there is an emergency.

This is Ye Chen and his party.

Ye Chen walked at the front of the team, pointing out a lot of hidden dangers one by one.

For example, if it is completely covered by heavy snow and there is no clue at all, he can point out that there are highly poisonous fungi there, and once someone steps on it, the highly toxic spores will erupt and take away the lives of the people around him in an instant.

Another example is the large area at the top of the evergreen trees that still remain gray under the heavy snow, and the place that looks like a patch of snow hides a highly venomous snake, as long as someone approaches its warning range, it will immediately cause its merciless attack.

The clever guidance again and again not only made the eleven military team look at it differently, but even the group of adventurers who had been wandering around the Great North Slope for a while were dumbfounded.

Some of the things Ye Chen pointed out they knew, and some of them couldn't even see it at all. It is important to know that the Great North Slope forests are especially dangerous in cold winters, especially on snowy days. In other seasons, it is a fatal trap that can be seen a little, and in this heavy snow-covered weather, it is almost completely covered by thick snow, making it difficult to tell the difference, I really don't know what this old man is

One does not leak all to see.

People grow old and become fine......

These are the words that many people ponder in their hearts.

And the female warrior who was still skeptical of Ye Chen at the beginning looked at him and his gaze softened a lot.

She was convinced that they had found a treasure when they met Ye Chen. This is an old adventurer who has been neglected because of his weakened body. No danger could be hidden from his eyes.

But the truth is......

Ye Chen couldn't see these so-called dangers at all, and he didn't see them with his eyes. Instead, they rely on the silk threads of the mental world that stretch out their bodies to explore one by one, and then point out what people avoid.

To say that on this Xuanhuang Continent, Ye Chen's strength may not be anything, but his heart world's ability to deal with traps and sneak attacks is definitely second to none.

As for the others, the cooperation between the eleven servicemen can no longer be simply evaluated by the word tacit understanding.

One of their small movements, even subtle expressions, can make their peers understand the meaning and react the fastest.

Elite!

Ye Chen was also secretly surprised in his heart. These eleven people may have average strength, but they are only at the level of Broken Wave Martial Artists. But compared to the Hualong Army in the Sealed Wolf City, from the perspective of the quality of the soldiers, it definitely belongs to the elite level.

And they seem to be different from ordinary soldiers, and they are very good at such forest landscapes, which is more strange. Which country has a large area of forest cover, and is there a need for such elite soldiers who are good at woodland environments?

Ye Chen thought about it for a long time and couldn't come up with a clue, it seems that the surrounding countries rarely have a large amount of vegetation, and only the Great North Slope Forest has a huge woodland.

So did these guys come from afar? Judging from the outline of their exposed eyes, this group of people was not an Oriental nation, but looked very much like the people of Huama China.

But after all, this is Puqing Country, and it is by no means uncommon for people to look like this. Is it hard to judge identity......

Ye Chen shook his head slightly when he thought about it, what does the identity of this group of guys have to do with him? Anyway, he just wants to take a ride to Yilong Lake.

As long as he got to the place, whether they were going to kill people or anything, he was not afraid. If he can't beat it, at least he still has the confidence to be able to run away.

In particular, the ability of the Sky Breaker to cut through space is most useful in such a forest with complex terrain, and it is no problem to get rid of them all in a few clicks.

"...... ahead" Ye Chen suddenly stopped walking and raised a hand to signal everyone to stop: "Ten zhang ahead, that snowy hill." "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with that hill?" The tall and thin martial artist called the monkey had always been at the front with Ye Chen, and he stretched out his hand to block his eyes and looked at the small hill in front of him.

"It's not a knoll, it's a snakehead. As soon as Ye Chen's words came out, the warrior named Monkey suddenly changed color!

How big is a snake? How big should this snake be?

"It's supposed to be a mixed python. ”

An adventurer from the prison area came forward and said in an excited tone, he had already taken out the round shield and short spear on his back and held them in his hand, and explained at the same time: "The old man doesn't know, this is a powerful demonic beast unique to the forest here, Class B!"

This monster is also divided into levels, of course, this level is divided by humans according to their level of danger.

Because it is located in Puqing Country and influenced by Hualong culture, it is mainly based on the analogy of A, B, C, D. The more forward you are, the stronger you are.

This second-level demonic beast is already very powerful. Strong enough to make a group of more than a dozen Broken Wave Level adventurers easily annihilate. Supposedly, it should belong to the kind of dangerous goods that adventurers will walk around when they encounter it. But now the adventurer's face was full of excitement: "The old man's eyes are poisonous enough! These insects are powerful, but now it's winter, and they usually burrow in hidden holes**

Hibernating, but this one didn't know why, so it was lying outside. If we slaughter it, we will go back and sell it alone, and it will not be a problem to divide a dozen gold coins!"

Ye Chen looked at the man and shook his head: "There must be a demon when things are abnormal, there is no good thing in this world to drop pies, I advise you, everyone should bypass it, don't be alarmed." ”

"Phew! No eggless old thing! Don't dare to fight anything, no wonder you've been poor all your life!"

Ye Chen smiled disappreciably: "I have been poor all my life, but have you seen a few adventurers who have lived to this age like me?"

"Hmph!" The adventurer suddenly became more and more disdainful: "What do ......you mean by adventurer?

"Alright, keep moving forward, go around that beast and don't be alarmed. The leading female warrior who had been in the middle of the group stepped forward at this time, and a sentence set their tone.

Ye Chen's words just now were not in vain, he just said it to this leading female martial artist.

Since they are the army of a certain country, they must not be interested in the gold coins that adventurers are most interested in. So he made such a cautious gesture, and sure enough, the female warrior appreciated Ye Chen a little more.

This person is the person who really helped them a lot in this operation, he is old and refined, he is cautious, good, very good.

But the adventurer was furious, glared at the female warrior and pointed to the hillock in front of him and whispered, "Are you blind? How much silver is that? Or is it the same as the white inspection...... Whoop!

Before the man could finish speaking, he saw that the tip of a knife with a flickering cold light had poked out of his chest, piercing his heart directly!
