This middle-aged woman's name is Xue Zhiqin, and she is a five-rank venerable, just like Lin Yun.

After a while, someone finally walked in, also a middle-aged man, but he had a scar on his face, which gave people a very hideous feeling.

As soon as he walked in, he laughed and said, "Captain Tong, the people have finally gathered enough, where is it, who is the last person?"

He looked around, although Lin Yun was sitting next to him, but he didn't seem to see it, but after counting, he found that there were already ten people, so this last person was none other than Lin Yun.

He pointed at Lin Yun, looked at Tong Yu with a suspicious expression, and said, "Captain Tong, don't you say that the last person is this kid." ”

Tong Yu smiled and said, "That's right, his name is Lin Yun." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the man with the scar again, and introduced to Lin Yun and the others who had just joined in: "This is Wu Zhongze." ”

Wu Zhongze said very dissatisfied: "Captain Tong, it's not the first time we've cooperated, how can you find such a child who hasn't even grown hair! ”

Tong Yu hurriedly glanced at Lin Yun and found that he was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Wu, don't talk nonsense, Little Brother Lin's strength is very strong, and even Duan Snake is not his opponent." ”

"Huh?"

Wu Zhongze glanced at Duan Snake suspiciously, Duan Snake snorted coldly, turned his head, and seemed to acquiesce to Tong Yu's words.

Wu Zhongze frowned, still a little dissatisfied: "Even if it is, what if his strength is still lagging behind, it is enough for you to get one to drag his feet, and add another one, should he be your relative? ”

"The surname is Wu, don't talk nonsense. ”

Hearing Wu Zhongze's words, Duan Snake was furious all of a sudden, originally he was the weakest one in the Tonghua mercenary group, even Huayin had the cultivation of the Seventh-Rank Venerable, and he was only a Sixth-Rank Venerable, he was usually responsible for miscellaneous work, and he did all the bad things, and then he was counted like this, he couldn't bear it.

Wu Zhongze glanced at him lightly and said, "Did I talk nonsense, if you weren't the nephew of Leader Tong, would you be able to stay in this mercenary group? ”

At this time, Tong Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and frowned and said: "Brother Wu, what you said is too much, Duan Snake naturally has his use here, and I naturally have a reason to stay with Little Brother Lin, and I have never given you less of the reward, if you are really dissatisfied with me, please take care of yourself." ”

Wu Zhongze saw that Tong Yu was really angry, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't be angry, Captain Tong, this is your mercenary group, of course it's up to you, I'm just thinking about you." ”

After saying that, he smiled "hehe", sat down in his chair, and stopped talking.

Tong Yu rolled his eyes helplessly, if it weren't for his high strength and not very clever brain, which was very useful, he really didn't want to cooperate with this kind of person.

Then he looked at everyone and said slowly: "Since everyone has arrived, let's go now, everyone has no objections, right?"

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Tong Yu said "go", and then everyone began to walk towards the south gate of the county town, which was the entrance to Zhongyan Mountain.

As for their luggage, it was naturally carried by Tong Yu's nephew Duan Snake. Although he was very unhappy and wanted Lin Yun to take his luggage, it was a pity that who let him lose to Lin Yun, and his uncle didn't let him challenge Lin Yun, and the other one with a lower cultivation level than him was still a middle-aged beauty, and he was embarrassed to let the family carry the luggage!

Lin Yun and the others walked for a long time before slowly walking to the foot of Zhongyan Mountain, it was already very hot here, and the group was already sweating profusely, and they didn't know how much water they drank on the way, but they still felt hotter and hotter.

At this time, Tong Yu opened his mouth and said, "I'm about to enter Zhongyan Mountain, everyone be careful." ”

Everyone looked up and saw a mountain in front of them that reached into the sky, but the mountain was fiery red, and it exuded a scorching temperature.

If it weren't for the special clothes and shoes that everyone was wearing, I'm afraid that ordinary clothes and shoes would have been baked long ago.

This Zhongyan Mountain really lives up to its name.

Although Zhongyan Mountain is full of fiery red walls and exudes extremely high temperatures, it is not devoid of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish.

The peculiar environment has created strange creatures, and the plants here are all strange and of different shapes, covering the entire Zhongyan Mountain.

Like the walls of the Ultimate Flame Mountain, their bodies also exude a scorching temperature, and I don't know how they survived at such high temperatures.

The animals that live here are not much different from the animals outside, the difference is that most of them have fiery red skin, no hair, and smooth skin.

The air they breathe is scorching, and if you are given a claw, it will definitely be more serious than the damage outside, and because of the extremely high temperature here, the wound will decay quickly and will be difficult to heal.

Therefore, most of the injured warriors will quit here as soon as possible, and those who successfully quit may return to normal after a period of time, while most of those who did not quit will die here.

So Lin Yun and the others were cautious, trying not to be scratched by even the weakest animal, and they each had their own division of labor.

The head of the regiment, Tong Yu, and the members of the regiment are the strongest, one in the front and one in the back, to prevent accidents.

And Wu Zhongze and Dong Sifu are both Nine Rank Venerables, and their strength is second only to Tong Yu and the others, so the two of them are one on the left and the other on the right, paying attention to all kinds of animals.

Next are Wang Qiang and Dong Yue, they are both eight-rank Venerables, they usually stay in the team, and they will investigate if there is any situation.

After that, there was Hua Yin, who was the Seventh Rank Venerable, who was mainly responsible for leading the way and walking safely to the area where the third-order rose essence lived.

Then there is Duan Snake, he is the Sixth Rank Venerable, who is mainly responsible for chores, carrying luggage, going to the tree to pick fruits, and so on.

Finally, there are Lin Yun and Xue Zhiqin, both of them are only fifth-grade Venerables, and they are both relatively special.

Xue Zhiqin is an alchemist, and she also has a lot of experience in entering the Final Yan Mountain, so her role is crucial, and it is likely to be the last straw, so let her stay in the middle and protect the safest.

And although Lin Yun's cultivation was low, he defeated Duan Snake, so Tong Yu didn't let him do the chores, but asked him to be like Dong Yue and the others, and to investigate when there was any situation.

Of course, most of the time it's nothing, so some people don't like him.

While everyone was resting, Wu Zhongze pointed to a tree in front of him and said, "Boy, go and pick some fire tree fruits for me." ”

The tree was covered with fiery red fruits, which were edible fruits, and because of the hot climate, they had a very sweet taste and thirst-quenching effect.

At this time, it was the sad Duan Snake who was picking fruit on that tree, and when he heard Wu Zhongze's words, he suddenly became happy, and even his usual dissatisfaction with him was alleviated a little.

Because these words Wu Zhongze said were exactly what he said to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun glanced at him lightly and said, "If you want to eat it, you won't pick it?"

He just picked it himself, he didn't wait there like them, he had always been used to doing his own thing.

Of course, the main reason is that this snake doesn't like him, and it is estimated that he will only keep the worst for him, and maybe he will spit out some saliva or something, so he can't be trusted.

Wu Zhongze's eyes narrowed: "Boy, you have to say it again." ”

Before Lin Yun could speak, Tong Yu, who saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, Duan Snake will be back soon." ”

Wu Zhongze glanced at Tong Yu, then looked at Lin Yun, and said coldly: "I don't know awe at a young age, let me tell you, no one is allowed to fish in troubled waters here, if you don't have any strength at all, in the end, you don't want to get a little something!"

This sentence made Wang Qiang and the others also nod slightly, Lin Yun really didn't contribute much along the way, and they didn't believe in the true strength of Lin Yun that Tong Yu said, so if Lin Yun could get some results like this, then they wouldn't agree.

Hearing Wu Zhongze's words, Lin Yun smiled faintly: "Those who don't contribute naturally have nothing to share, and I agree with this." ”

Wu Zhongze snorted coldly and stopped talking.

At this time, Duan Snake also walked back slowly, although he was just doing some chores, but he was not at all easier than them, tired and had a sore back and sweat.

He also saw that Lin Yun was very dissatisfied, and really wanted to compete with him again, defeat him, and then let him do chores.

But he was so tired now, and the temperature was so high that he didn't want to move at all, so the idea had to be abandoned for the time being.

After resting for a while, everyone replenished a little water, ate the fire tree fruit that can replenish energy, regained some strength, and then began to set off again.

On the way, Wu Zhongze said impatiently: "Captain Tong, where is the rose essence you said? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

Xue Zhiqin also said with some complaints: "Yes, it's been too long, even if we find it like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with it!"

Dong Sifu smiled "hehe" at this time, and said: "Maybe Captain Tong is waiting for us to be powerless to deal with it, so that we can be wiped out!"

Hearing Dong Sipho's words, everyone's faces changed slightly, and they couldn't help but glance at Tong Yu with some vigilance.

Tong Yu was speechless in his heart, what kind of old man is this, he knew that he would not bring him here, but he was talking nonsense here, cholera military heart.

He hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I have no ill will towards you, that place will be there soon, I took everyone a little detour, also to avoid other dangers, try to retain physical strength, it's better to be tired than to fight a few battles with powerful monsters." ”

Seeing that everyone was still a little skeptical, he smiled bitterly: "Everyone will know by looking at us, our physical strength is also consumed a lot, if we really do it with you, we may not be able to win, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory, you should all know what it means to win here, that is death!"
