The meat of an unknown animal is being grilled on the bonfire, and a layer of golden oil is applied to the meat, and as the meat is slowly cooked, the golden fat drips down from the meat one by one, and the tempting aroma of meat wafts around, attracting everyone's appetite.

After the meat was cooked, Mary cut the meat and distributed it to everyone to eat, while tasting the deliciousness, Li Qing and the others also chatted with those mercenaries, Li Qing asked Madara: "How did the old gentleman come to this natural forest, is he also here to catch monsters?"

Li Qing's tone seemed to have an irresistible charm, so that he couldn't help believing him, Madara sighed and said: "Actually, we are a C-level mercenary group, some time ago, we offended the nobles of our Apelo Empire, the nobles said that if we don't catch a middle-level demonic beast or 200,000 gold coins for them, they will destroy our mercenary group, and we can't take out 200,000 gold coins, so we have to venture into this natural forest to catch an intermediate demonic beast for them." ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that in the natural forest for a few days, I didn't encounter a mid-level demonic beast, but instead encountered a high-level demonic beast three-eyed demon wolf, if it wasn't for that demonic wolf suddenly retreating, we would definitely die here today!"

Only then did Li Qing understand the reason and said, "I see!"

Mary's angry Li Qing and the others said: "It's all you damned nobles who have harmed us so badly!"

Hearing Mary's angry words, Amdo said coldly: "I'll just say it once, we are not nobles!" A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the murderous aura in his body disappeared.

Andor and Yasin can be said to hate those nobles more than this Mary, and regard themselves as the people they hate the most, so it's no wonder that Andor is so angry.

That Mary couldn't help but take a big jump for the murderous aura emanating from Andor's body, but the murderous aura appeared and disappeared, even Mary herself doubted whether the feeling just now was real, looked up at Amdo, how could she not believe that the murderous aura just now was emitted by the delicate man in front of her, Mary kept telling herself that it must have been an illusion just now, it must have been an illusion.

Madara said at this time: "Mary, you still can't change your temper, if you continue like this, you will definitely suffer a big loss in the future!"

After hearing her grandfather's words, Mary whispered, "Got it, grandpa!"

Li Qing said to Namadara, "Are you also a magician?"

After hearing Li Qing's question, Madara said with a smile: "I am not an authentic magician, but a summoning magician. My granddaughter is also a summoner, in fact, most of the magicians in our Apelo Empire are summoners, and there are very few magicians who practice authentic magic. ”

After talking, Li Qing and the others realized that the magicians who practiced various types of magic in the Apelo Empire were completely inferior to summoners, and they all controlled those magical beasts by capturing them, taming them, and signing blood contracts with them.

This is just like when the dark mage Justin summoned the dark six-headed demon snake of the demon world in the dark demon realm, but the power of the dark mage is much stronger, he summoned the creatures of the demon world, and those summoners summoned the demonic beasts of the human world.

Through a unique approach, those summoners can enclose the beasts in a specific space and summon them when they are needed.

Summoners are the most cultivated in the Abelo Empire, in addition to fighters, to talk about, why so many people in the Abelo Empire have become summoners, mainly because the people of the Abelo Empire are brave and fierce by nature, you must know that the cultivation of various types of magic requires meditation, how can this cultivation method allow people who are irritable and ruthless by nature to cultivate, so in terms of hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Apelo Empire are very strong.

Some people are not only fighters but also summoners, because summoners do not have very high requirements for magic power, in fact, it is not difficult to become a summoner, the difficulty is to find a powerful magical beast to be their own summoning beast.

That Mary said to Li Qing: "You are also summoners, so what is your summoning beast? let it come out and let us see!"

After hearing Mary's words, Li Qing casually grabbed the Tianhuo lying beside him and said, "This is my summoned beast!"

Seeing the cute and charming little dog Tianhuo in Li Qing's hand, Mary and those mercenaries laughed, this is a summoned beast, it is useless at all, it is so small, I am afraid it is the weakest summoned beast, Mary laughed while pointing to the heavenly fire in Li Qing's hand and said: "This is your summoned beast, this is also too funny!"

And Namadala couldn't help but shake his head, and thought to himself: I don't recognize myself as a nobleman, and only nobles will use those cute and charming pets as summoning beasts, and those summoners all find those powerful magical beasts to be their summoning beasts, and this kind of pet is useless at all.

Li Qing and the others didn't care about the mercenaries' laughter, after all, they were not malicious ridicule, Li Qing's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and asked Madara and Mary, "I don't know, what are the summoned beasts of the two?"

Madara smiled and said, "My summoned beast is an intermediate Demonic Beast Six-Tailed Fire Fox, come out, Six-Tailed Fire Fox!"

As Madara's words fell, the space in front of Madala was distorted, revealing a round hole, and out of the round hole came a fiery red fox with six tails, which was more than twice as large as an ordinary fox.

I saw that the six-tailed fire fox obediently climbed onto Mardala's shoulder, and her flexible eyes kept looking around, Mada stretched out her hand and stroked the six-tailed fire fox, the six-tailed fire fox seemed to enjoy this stroke very much, and couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy it.

While stroking the six-tailed fire fox, Madara said to Li Qing: "This is my summoned beast, in fact, its ability is not a strong attack power or magic ability, its main ability is to strengthen the magic power of the magician, and the magic of the six-tailed fire fox can double the power of magic." ”

"My magic level is not very high, and I can't improve my magic level, so I can only strengthen my magic through the six-tailed fire fox. ”

After stroking the six-tailed firefox for a while, Madara summoned the six-tailed firefox back into the enclosed space.

Mary pouted, and said proudly to Li Qing and the others: "Let you open your eyes, my summoned beast is very powerful!

After a pause, Mary called out loudly, "Come out!

I saw that Mary's side suddenly appeared a dog with two dog heads and yellow hair, the dog's size was only twice as big as Tianhuo, and when he saw that it was actually a dog, Yasen suddenly laughed and said: "It's not a dog yet, what are you talking about the invincible Ice and Fire Cerberus!"

Mary immediately blushed and said loudly to Yasen: "Who said that, this is a warcraft between intermediate and high-level, but it is amazing, one of its heads can use fire magic, and the other head can use ice magic, but it has not grown up yet, it is still only a child, and when it grows up, it will have the opportunity to evolve to a high-level warcraft." ”

In fact, this Ice and Fire Cerberus was inadvertently picked up by Mary in the process of catching a magical beast, and the mother of the Ice and Fire Cerberus died of serious injuries due to fighting with other magical beasts, leaving only this magical beast that was still a puppy, and gave Mary a bargain, and immediately made a blood contract with this puppy, making it his own summoned beast, if you go to catch an adult magical beast, it is a difficult thing at all.

And when they were fighting just now, why didn't everyone summon summoned beasts to fight, mainly because the opponent was a high-level demonic beast, and it was useless to summon a low-level demonic beast.

Mary proudly said to Li Qing and the others: "How is it, my Ice and Fire Cerberus is amazing!

And the Ice and Fire Cerberus also seemed to be very arrogant, and immediately cooperated with Mary, immediately raised his two heads high, and the sound of "hum! hum!" in his nose kept coming.

And all this was funny in the eyes of Li Qing and the others, Mary picked up the Ice and Fire Cerberus and said to one of the dog's heads: "Bingbing, grow up quickly, you can use your strength to help me when you grow up," After finishing speaking, she then said to the other dog head: "Huohuo, you also have to grow up quickly, don't let Bingbing pull it down!"

The Ice and Fire Cerberus seemed to understand Mary's words, and immediately both heads nodded their heads, and their mouths kept screaming, "Wow!Wow!"

Li Qing looked at Mary with a smile and said, "Sure enough, it's a psychic summoned beast!"

Mary smiled and said, "Now you know how powerful my summoned beast is!"

Then, among the other mercenaries, there were summoned beasts for Li Qing and the others to admire, including wolves, eagles, and various unknown monsters.

After laughing, Namadara's face became uneasy, and he continued: "We have been in this natural forest for more than a month, and we haven't caught a mid-level demonic beast yet, what can we do." ”

When Mary and the other mercenaries heard Madara's words, they couldn't help but lose their smiles, and their faces became solemn, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that everyone was so decadent, Li Qing said lightly: "Could it be that those nobles are so lawless, and no one cares about them!"

Madara sighed and said: "The nobles are not protecting each other at all, no one cares about the life and death of our ordinary people, and that nobleman is still a general with military power, who wants to offend them and help us mercenaries!"

Yasin said, "Then you can get out of there and go somewhere else!"

Mary glanced at Yasen, and said angrily: "I have never seen such a stupid person as you, we mercenaries have families, we run away, what will happen to those old and weak women and children?"

was robbed by Mary for a while, and Yasen, who only spoke, was speechless, so he had to sit there with a wry smile and keep his mouth shut.

Li Qing smiled lightly and said to Namadala: "Maybe we can help you a little!"

Mary glanced at Li Qing with her eyes and said, "What can you help, help us catch an intermediate demonic beast, it's not bad if you don't let us protect you, but also catch an intermediate demonic beast." ”

Madara scolded: "Mary, don't be unreasonable," and then said to Li Qing: "It's better not to trouble everyone, let's let our little old man solve it by himself." ”

Li Qing did not refute Madara's words, turned his palm over, and took out 200,000 gold coins from his Bodhi ring at once, and two heavy bags of gold coins suddenly appeared on the ground.

Mardala, Mary and other mercenaries were dumbfounded when they looked at the two bags of gold coins on the ground, and Li Qing said lightly: "Here are 200,000 gold coins, which should be able to help you tide over this difficulty." ”

Madara looked at the two bags of gold coins on the ground, and it took a while to react, and hurriedly said: "How embarrassed are we to accept this, we can't accept it, please take it back!"

Li Qing said: "If Ma Lao thinks that the lives of the three of us are not worth the 200,000 gold coins, then we won't force you?"

When Madara heard Li Qing say this, she was no longer embarrassed to refuse, so she said gratefully: "Since Li Qing said so, I won't refuse, but we won't accept your 200,000 gold coins in vain, I don't know what we can do for you?"

Li Qing also knew that Madara would not accept his gold coins easily, and he had to do something for himself to accept the 200,000 gold coins with peace of mind, so he said: "We are going to travel to the Apelo Empire, why don't I hire you to be my bodyguards and our guides?"

In fact, Li Qing made such a request in order to go to the Abeluo Empire to find a familiar person, Li Qing and the three of them had never been to the Abeluo Empire, so they couldn't fly around like a headless fly, and finding someone to be a guide could save Li Qing and the others a lot of effort.

Seeing Li Qing and the others so generously take out 200,000 gold coins, all the mercenaries couldn't help but feel a great change in their feelings about Li Qing and the others, originally they thought that Li Qing and the others were nobles, and those nobles were vampires, so they would not take the people in their eyes at all, and they didn't expect that Li Qing and the others were so kind and friendly, and they could help them so much when they met.

Mary also had a good impression of Li Qing and the others and couldn't help but increase slightly, the life-saving 200,000 gold coins could at least help them tide over the difficulties, but it was Li Qing and the others who took out the 200,000 gold coins, which made Mary believe that Li Qing and the others must be nobles.

Now Mary's thoughts of Li Qing and others are a nobleman, a rich nobleman, a rich and friendly nobleman.

When Madara heard Li Qing's words, she immediately smiled and said, "Our Flying Eagle Mercenary Group has taken over this task, and I hope that our Mercenary Group can cooperate happily with you." ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant journey." ”

At this time, Mary voiced her doubts on the side and asked Li Qing and the others, "Aren't you from the Apelo Empire?"

Li Qing smiled and said: "We are from the Sonam Empire, we are going to travel the entire continent, we just arrived at your Abeiluo Empire, in order to see the demonic beasts, we accidentally got lost in the natural forest!"

Only then did Madara and the other mercenaries understand that they originally thought that Li Qing and the others were from the Apelo Empire, why did they need them to be guides, but they turned out to be people from the Sonam Empire.

At this time, Madara stood up and announced loudly to the mercenaries around the other campfires: "Now this Li Qing has paid us the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group 200,000 gold coins in advance, solved the immediate difficulties of our mercenary group, and signed an escort mission with our mercenary group, I hope you can complete this task with all your might, and repay Li Qing for his great kindness to our mercenary group." ”

The mercenaries who hadn't heard the original conversation couldn't help but cheer loudly when they heard that there were 200,000 gold coins that could solve the nobleman's problem, and the 200,000 gold coins only required a simple escort and guide task, which was really a good deal.

While eating fragrant meat, everyone chatted happily, after all, there was no psychological burden, and the whole person was in a relaxed mood.

It was already dark by this time, and the only thing left in the forest was the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and after everyone had a good time, they all took out their sheets and fell asleep on the spot, even Mary, who was a girl.

And Li Qing, Amdo, and Yasin had nothing, and meditated on the spot with their knees crossed and their eyes closed, which surprised Madala and Mary, and they didn't expect Li Qing and the others to be able to sleep like this at night, but they had never seen it. They didn't know that the Xing people were not sleeping at all, but cultivating, and if they knew, they wouldn't be surprised that they would drop their eyes.

There didn't seem to be any animals or monsters to disturb them all night, but to the surprise of those mercenaries who kept vigil, they didn't expect it to be so calm tonight.

The short, bleak night has passed, and the bright sunshine has returned to the earth.

Li Qing and the others woke up from their meditation and cultivation early in the morning, and those mercenaries had also woken up from their sleep, sorted out their equipment one after another, and prepared to leave this natural forest, go back and pay back the money owed to the nobles, and settle this matter.

Under the order of Madara, everyone began to set off for the outside of the natural forest, and the entire mercenary team was also in order, and several mercenaries even released their summoned beast Black Eagle, flying into the air to alert the surrounding situation.

Along the way, the team was very smooth, and not a single demonic beast popped up to disturb the team that attacked them, which made the mercenaries strange.

Mary frowned, and said to herself in confusion: "Why is it so calm all the way, I didn't hear the birds and beasts, those monsters have gone there, why have they all disappeared all of a sudden." ”

And Madala looked at Li Qing and the others with puzzled eyes, Li Qing saw Madara glance at him, and smiled back, which was regarded as greeting him, Madala also nodded and smiled at Li Qing, turned his head, and thought in his heart, since Li Qing and the others came, the three-eyed demon wolf has retreated, and now all the way up, the road is unusually calm, even a small animal can't be seen, it seems that they are afraid of something and hiding.

Is this Li Qing and the three of them masters, but they don't look like a peerless master, which makes Madara even more curious about Li Qing and the three of them.

In fact, those demonic beasts did not appear because of the heavenly fire, and the aura of the divine beasts emitted by the heavenly fire made it too late for those demonic beasts to dodge, and they would come out of nowhere.

A mercenary next to Mary jokingly said to Mary: "It's not that our Mary is so charming that she scared away those demonic beasts that don't have long eyes, haha!"

When the mercenaries around heard this, they burst into laughter, and even Madara laughed.

When Mary saw the mercenaries around her, she burst out laughing, and couldn't help shouting: "Laugh, you have a kind of laughing again, laughing again, I won't cook for you in the future, see who of you cooks for you." ”

The mercenary hurriedly said: "Look, our Mary is angry, you have such a temper, it seems that we all have to worry about whether our Mary will marry or not." ”

Mary glared at each other angrily, and said to the mercenary in a vicious voice: "I don't think you want to live, see if I don't beat you like a pig's head, and see if you dare to say this about me in the future." With that, he picked up the wooden stick at hand and struck it, and the mercenary who hit him had no choice but to beg for mercy, swearing never to tease Mary again.

After Mary had finished teaching the mercenary, she said loudly, "See if you dare to say that about me!"

Seeing her granddaughter behaving like this, Madara shook her head, her granddaughter has been with some big bosses since she was a child, and she has formed such a pungent and heroic character like a man, and she has no gentle female character at all, and now she can't change it even if she wants to.

Li Qing and the others also looked at this mercenary group with great interest, and a smile appeared on their faces, only Amdo was still as cold as a thousand years of ice.

After walking in this dense natural forest for another two days, Li Qing and the other three and the Flying Eagle Mercenary Group came out of the natural forest, looking at the dense and deep forest behind them, those mercenaries couldn't believe that they actually came out of the natural forest alive.

After leaving the natural forest, I walked for a long time, and finally saw a road, surrounded by sparse trees, of course, these trees are not as tall as the towering giant trees of the natural forest, they are just some dwarf trees.

Madara came to Li Qing's side, pointed to this road, and said to Li Qing: "Follow this road, we can reach Luo Xiu City, we will go there first, deal with the affairs of the nobles, and then accompany you to travel through the entire Apelo Empire." I don't know what you mean, Li Qing?"

Li Qing smiled indifferently and said, "It's what Ma Lao meant." ”
