Chapter 6: The Demon Beast Strikes
Chapter 6: The Demon Beast Strikes
In the silent forest, a large group of people walked quietly. A pair of vigilant eyes constantly swept over the dark places in the surrounding trees, and the palms of their hands tightly grasped the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
As a mercenary who has been mixed with the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for many years. Therefore, although it is the first time to cooperate, they can maintain a basic tacit understanding, and they can also identify some signals representing danger and safety from the other party's eyes.
The scorching sun hangs in the sky, which makes people very uncomfortable. And Mu Hao, whose strength was only one level of qi refining, was arranged at the front of the team, and was obviously used as cannon fodder to explore the path.
Mu Hao, who was carrying a black heavy sword, wiped a handful of sweat on his face. Turning his head, he looked behind him, his eyes swept casually through the team, and finally stopped at the woman in the white dress who was huddled in the middle as if she was being held by the stars.
At this time, the weak beauty in the white dress also happened to straighten up slightly, and the back of her hand gently wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead. The appearance of panting lightly, combined with the soft cheeks, looks quite pitiful.
Seeing the woman in the white dress revealing this appearance, some of the mercenaries around suddenly had the urge to carry her to their destination. But they also know that even if they want to memorize it, they will only smile and refuse.
When everyone's eyes converged on the woman in the white dress, a handsome young man walked out of the escort team with a smile on his face, bowing his head and saying something to the woman in the white dress who was panting.
The two talked for a while, and the woman in the white dress smiled and shook her head, and then continued to walk ahead.
Rejected by the woman in the white dress, the young man did not have the slightest annoyance on his face, smiled faintly, waved his palm, and shouted: "Flying leopard people, pay attention to me, now I am about to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range." Don't capsize in the gutter!"
"Yes, Young Commander!"
Hearing the cheers of the young man, dozens of big men around him suddenly responded in unison, and the neat tone attracted everyone's continuous sideways, even the woman in the white dress who was moving forward also glanced back.
Very happy with the response. The young man smiled slightly. Take two quick steps again. Walking side by side with the woman in the white dress, he was very earnestly and closely.
". Zhu Yan, isn't it just because his father is the leader of the Flying Leopard Mercenary Group. Does he think that he can win the hearts of other girls in this way? He doesn't pee and take care of himself, but he is a master disciple of the Medicine King Valley!" A mercenary man beside Mu Hao suddenly scolded in a low voice. In the tone, there is a strong sourness.
Squinting slightly, Mu Hao's gaze swept over the young man. Finally, on top of a badge on its chest, carved with a leopard with wings outstretched.
His gaze jumped over the young man to look at the thirty or so mercenaries who wore the same badge on their chests. Mu Hao blinked. It seems that these people should all be members of this Flying Leopard Mercenary Group.
"This eldest brother, are all the people who went to collect medicine this time from the Medicine King Valley?" Mu Hao asked with a smile to the man beside him who had just cursed.
"No, I'm not from the Medicine King Valley. Only the woman in the white dress was a master disciple of the Medicine King Valley, and the other people around her were all herb pickers hired by her to help her collect medicines. We were hired by her to protect her and go to Tianfeng Cliff to collect medicine. If I can enter the Valley of the Medicine King, it will really be eight lifetimes of burning high incense. The monk was still reverent.
Looking at the degree of protection of these Flying Leopard mercenary members to the woman in the white dress, it is obvious that they are also specially hired by the woman in the white dress to protect them. Moreover, it seems that the woman in the white dress has much more trust in the Flying Leopard Mercenary Group than the stragglers in front of her. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been allowed to come as personal guards.
Slowly retract your gaze. Mu Hao was not very interested in the relationship between the young man and the woman in the white dress. So he shook his head and walked heavily again, heading towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Outside of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, everything was relatively peaceful. However, not long after the team entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, a small-scale attack of the Ten Thousand Beasts was brutally displayed in front of Mu Hao.
The attackers were four first-order demon beasts named Flying Flame Tiger. This kind of demon beast is quite common in the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, and its attribute is fire, and the fire is pregnant with fire poison. If the poisoned person is not treated within half a day, he will be burned with fire poison until he dies.
Hovering in mid-air, four first-order demon beasts flew flame tigers. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the people below, like lightning, the fire poison was very easily imported into the bodies of the four mercenaries. Suddenly, the four men whose faces were as red as burned fell down with dry skin all over their bodies.
Attacked by the attack, everyone immediately shot out angrily, and in a moment, the four first-order demon beasts were beaten to death by the group without accident. And after killing the four first-order demon beasts, they didn't find any trace of the demon pill in their bodies. And in this regard, the mercenaries only sighed with a little regret, it is not uncommon to kill demon beasts in the wild and return in vain at the cost of heavy casualties, so they are not too disappointed in this.
The three mercenaries who were poisoned by fire were quickly sent to the medicine collection team in the rear after the Flying Flame Tiger was dealt with. The woman in the white dress personally intervened and expelled the fire poison from their bodies for them.
And after the attack of the Flying Flame Tiger, the mercenary team that had suffered a loss once became even more cautious. However, in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, which is densely populated with demon beasts, it is obviously impossible to completely avoid demonic beasts.
The team walked less than 500 meters, and everyone was attacked by three waves of demon beasts, but fortunately, the mercenaries were outnumbered. At the cost of a dozen mercenaries suffering minor injuries, the attacks of the three waves of demon beasts were all repulsed.
In the exploration team that followed ahead, Mu Hao, who was unavoidable, also directly participated in a battle. However, in a head-on collision with a first-order demon beast, it ended at the cost of numbness in his palm.
Looking at the demon beast that escaped from the cunning after the attack was fruitless. Mu Hao gritted his teeth hatefully, but Rao let the demon beast escape. But the strength shown by Mu Hao still impressed the mercenaries around him.
"Little brother, it's amazing, you can actually fight against the Chidi leopard, which is known for its strength. ”
"Tsk, you're so tough at a young age, and you'll have it in the future?"
"Haha, this little guy is the youngest Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator in the team, right?
The cheers of the surrounding mercenaries caused a small commotion in the ranks. When everyone looked at the young man with the giant sword on his back, they had automatically omitted their doubts.
In this kind of circle of strength to distinguish status, as long as you show eye-catching strength, you can gain the awe of others, this is a very simple and direct rule!
For these cheers, Mu Hao just smiled casually, and in his smile, he was neither coquettish nor proud, but just followed the team and continued to walk silently towards the medicine collection site.
"Everyone, it's close to Tianfeng Cliff here, please take a break, everyone is tired after walking for so long. After walking some distance again, the woman's soft crisp voice suddenly sounded in the quiet line.
The pace of progress paused slightly, and the whole team invariably stopped, turned around, looked at the woman in the white dress with no impurities in her smile, and nodded her head very honestly.
After a quick discussion, more than a dozen mercenaries scattered around to stand on guard, while the others, sitting still, regained the energy they had consumed a lot of from their hurry.
Sitting on the ground, Mu Hao slowly exhaled.
Mu Hao stood up, said to the mercenary beside him, and then slowly walked towards the small forest on the side.
Walking into the forest, the light was dim, but this was the area that the mercenaries had scouted before, so Mu Hao didn't have to worry about being suddenly attacked by demon beasts, his eyes swept around, looking for the most suitable cultivation location, and then started his own beast killing business.
With Mu Hao's detection, he also went deeper and deeper into the small dense forest, and walked a distance again. The dim vision suddenly brightened, and when I looked up, I saw that I had already passed through the small dense forest. In front of you, there is a somewhat steep cliff, and below the cliff, there is a lush green forest, which is quite beautiful.
His eyes swept over the edge of the cliff, but his eyes were sudden, Mu Hao touched his nose, and then stopped in front of a plant with pale white velvet flowers blooming on the edge of the cliff.
This plant has pale white flowers, and under the faintly blooming flowers, there is a strip in the soil, looming, and a faint medicinal fragrance emanates from it.
Eyes carefully swept over the plant, Mu Hao raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then squatted down slightly, stretching out his palm against the plant, wanting to pull it out.
Just when Mu Hao touched the plant, a small white hand like jade. Suddenly, he poked out of the cliff in front of him, and grabbed at the plant. However, it was grabbed on Mu Hao's palm.
The jade hand just touched Mu Hao's palm, and after a slight lag, it contracted back like an electric shock. In just an instant, a soft cheek with an ethereal aura emerged from under the cliff, and he looked at the stunned young man squatting in front with a little panic.
Looking at the beautiful cheeks that suddenly emerged from the bottom of the cliff, Mu Hao was also shocked at first, but when he quickly came back to his senses. found that this woman in a white dress seemed to be a master disciple of the Medicine King Valley.
On the cliff, two pairs of eyes looked at each other in such a daze, and the scene was quite weird.
"Can... Can you give me a hand?"
After looking at each other again for a moment, the woman in the white dress finally took the lead in breaking the embarrassment, and her voice was a little soft.
Blinking, Mu Hao nodded casually, grabbed the woman's outstretched jade-like hand, and made a slight effort, the latter jumped up from under the cliff, and the delicate body drew a wonderful arc in mid-air, and jumped to the top of the mountain lightly.
(It's late, two more changes, talk about joy.) Work hard and work hard, I have it in my heart. I hope you will collect it and vote)
