Chapter 28: The Fog Lifts
By the stream, a man-beast battle was turned upside down.
Keynes became more and more courageous the more he fought, and the sharp sword qi left wounds one after another on the hard leather armor of the mountain-shaking rhinoceros, and this demonic beast no longer had the violent momentum it had before.
Whether it is Arthur or the mercenaries of the mercenary group, they are all enthusiastic, as one of the only two eighth-level martial artists in Huaores City, the mercenaries know that their leader is powerful, but few have seen Keynes go all out.
Now the mercenaries really understand why the two veteran mercenary groups of "Piercing Blood" and "Wild Wolf Fox" have always been dissatisfied with the rapid rise of the "Blue Enchantress", but they dare not speak out, and can only secretly make some small stumbling blocks.
After fighting Keynes again with the horn on his head, the mountain rhinoceros suddenly turned around and ran upstream of the stream.
"Ran away?" The mercenaries watching the battle from a distance didn't react at first.
The first to react was Elf Iraya, who leapt out of the grass and chased in the direction of the mountain rhinoceros fleeing.
"Forget it, don't chase it, this guy's vitality is very strong, we can't kill it. Keynes shouted out just in time to stop the elven archer.
"Seventh-level Demonic Beast, if we can kill this big guy, our 'Blue Enchantress' will show a big face in Huaores!" Angus couldn't help but shake his head with regret on his face.
"Don't dream, we won't be able to get it back if we kill it. Adeline wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a slight gasp. The battle had almost exhausted her magic, and if she didn't run, she would have to quit the battle first.
The two of them suddenly noticed that Keynes had not spoken again, and suddenly looked up to find that his face was pale, and although he maintained a standing posture with both hands and swords, his legs trembled slightly.
"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Angus stepped forward and grabbed Keynes's arm.
The moment Angus held Keynes, his body shook and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"You were injured just now?" Adeline asked with concern as she stepped forward to support Keynes.
"It's okay, it's just an old injury from the past, and I used a little too much force just now. Keynes wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat down slowly.
"We're being followed, and you're trying to find them for me when they're not noticed. Keynes suddenly said in a very low voice.
Angus and Adeline were stunned, but their faces didn't show anything unusual.
When the mercenaries all gathered around, the two quietly withdrew from the crowd.
The mercenary group decided to stay by the stream that night, after the fierce battle just now, there was a breath left by the seventh-level demonic beasts everywhere, and the low-level demonic beasts did not dare to approach at all, and now this place has become the safest place.
When the campfire was lit, Angus and Adeline returned to camp. The mercenaries were still talking excitedly about the battle just now, and no one paid attention to where the two leaders had gone during this time.
Keynes sat alone by a small campfire, sipping his wine and beside him two grilled fish that Arthur had just delivered. Knowing that the regiment commander had been injured in the battle just now, no one came to disturb him.
Keynes motioned for Angus and Adeline to sit down, and asked with some eagerness, "Did you find anything?"
Adeline shook her head slightly.
Angus shook his head in the same way, but immediately added: "Although I didn't find anyone who was following me, there were signs of other people staying nearby, and I found two places where the grass was crushed by people." ”
As a hunter, Angus had a keen eye for all kinds of animal traces, and if he said it was left by man, he would be right.
Keynes frowned, revealing that he was indeed the case.
"How do you know we're being followed?" asked Adeline, puzzled.
"I said I guessed, do you believe it?" Keynes asked rhetorically.
Adeline gave him a disdainful look.
Keynes was bored and had to say to himself: "As soon as we entered the mountain range, we encountered the Bi Kana group, if it can be explained by coincidence, then we fell into the predatory territory of the migrating demon devouring insect swarm, and then we encountered the seventh-level demonic beasts that suddenly rushed out of the territory. There must be some kind of inevitability behind too many coincidences!"
"Based on that, you can tell that someone is deliberately targeting us, and there is no way that anyone can control the Demon Devouring Swarm and the Rank 7 Demonic Beasts. Adeline was still in disbelief.
Keynes looked at Angus, "With your experience, is there a way to do it?"
Angus pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "There are people who can control a seventh-level demonic beast, but there is no way to control a low-IQ demonic beast like the Demon Eater. ”
"Am I wrong?" said Keynes's brow, tightening even more.
Angus's words suddenly changed, "Boss, your judgment is not wrong! I thought about it for a moment, although it is very difficult to control the Warcraft, it is very easy to lure the Warcraft to appear on our route, as long as the Warcraft meets us, the Warcraft will naturally take the initiative to attack us." ”
"And how did they do it?"
"I know how to lure the rhinoceros is that as long as it gets the urine of the mother rhino during the season of heat, it will always follow the smell. As for the Demon Eaters, I don't know what method the other party used, but I've heard that the dragon's bloodline has a fatal temptation for these bugs. Angus explained slowly.
"Don't be kidding, if we have the ability to get the blood of the dragon, the other party still needs to use this method on us? Adeline still doesn't quite trust Keynes's judgment.
"No, the enemy doesn't need to actually get their hands on the dragon's blood!" Keynes interrupted Adeline directly, "Don't forget that there are many subspecies of monsters that have some of the dragon's blood, and I think the blood of these monsters may have a similar effect. ”
All three fell silent.
All the links have been explained, and a huge trap may have been laid even earlier since the moment the mercenary group entered the mountain!
But a new fog has also arisen, who has set this trap for the mercenary group?
"Bloodpiercing, Wolves, Foxes, or are the two combined?" Adeline asked in a whispered whisper, suddenly tentatively.
Keynes shook his head firmly, "No, although the three are in competition, as a veteran mercenary group, they haven't done it to that point, and the most important thing is that they haven't swallowed our strength in one bite!"
"So what's the problem? Someone is eyeing what we're escorting this time. ”
Keynes sighed softly, "Was I careless, did I underestimate the escort this time?"
"I know I shouldn't ask, but at this point, you don't want us to know what the hell is escorting this time?" Adeline's tone was full of eagerness.
Keynes smiled wryly, "To be honest, I'm not quite sure what we're sending, so I don't know if it might be better for you." ”
"Then let's abandon this mission and return the commission to the client. Adeline advised.
"As a mercenary, once you take on a mission, you can't give up halfway even if you die. ”
Keynes softened his tone and continued: "The danger of this mission has greatly exceeded my expectations, you can take the team back tomorrow, and I will take the things to the Sauron Gorge myself." I really want to meet my employer now?"
Keynes's eyes glistened with a cold light as he said this......
