Zhang Hao quickly walked back to the guild and carefully placed the wounded on the ground. The wounded man was a man. Alicia was not at ease, so she asked her colleagues to carry the wounded man to the room in the back hall to rest.
He looked around, but there was no one else. Zhang Hao whispered to the girl,""Do you have any black robes and face cloths at home?？”
"What do you want to do? Could it be?" The young girl looked surprised, but she could vaguely guess what was going on.
"Yes." Zhang Hao nodded and said indifferently,""That red spider is very weak now. The mercenaries actually gave up such a good opportunity. I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to kill that thing. Of course, I had to hide my identity.”
"No, this is too dangerous. Alex, you shouldn't go.”Alicia did not want the boy in front of her to take the risk. She was vaguely afraid. That was the Fire Spider King that nearly a hundred mercenaries could not capture.
" Don't worry." Zhang Hao smiled and comforted her softly." Even if I can't defeat that spider, I can still escape." Don't forget, you said that my speed is not inferior to the elves 'Wind Manipulation Technique.”Alicia lowered her head and thought for a while. Then, she looked up at Zhang Hao with bright eyes and said in a low voice,""Then you must promise me that you will come back unscathed.”
Looking at the girl's serious eyes, Zhang Hao was touched. Although they had only been colleagues for two or three days, she cared so much about him. She was really a kind-hearted girl. He looked straight into Alicia's eyes and replied solemnly,""Okay, I promise you that I will come back safely.”
Alicia met Zhang Hao's sincere eyes, and her tender face blushed. She quickly turned around and stammered,"You, come with me."
After leaving the guild, a few mercenaries came back. Some of them should still be at the place where they fought with the fire spider. Zhang Hao saw that they were all depressed and felt strange. As professional mercenaries, their endurance was too poor. The failure of a small battle could make them so dejected.
Actually, the mercenaries weren't dejected because of their defeat. After Zhang Hao left, the mercenaries gathered together to discuss and quickly came to a conclusion. Even the strongest Fire element, the Blazing Rock Demon, was unable to cast blue Hellfire. After the Fire Spider King cast Hellfire, the normal Fire Spiders that had been suppressing the enemy with concentrated firepower did not spit out a single fireball. From this, it could be seen that there must be an invisible magic array connecting the spiders. In order to eliminate the cavalry, the Spider King must have exhausted the magic power of the entire spider group.
In fact, they had guessed correctly. Fire spiders had always been solitary animals, but that did not mean that they did not have a leader. An ordinary Fire Spider's lifespan was usually around 20 years, but if one lived long enough, more than 20 years, it was very likely that it would transform into a red Fire Spider King. After the mutation, the Fire Spider's color would become bright red, and its body would be larger. Other than having more ferocious fire spells, it could also gather a large number of ordinary Fire Spiders around it and use their magic power to complete more powerful fire spells, such as the Hellfire just now. What was even more terrifying was that the mutated Spider King had extremely high intelligence. It could command other spiders to form a simple battle formation to increase the combat ability of the group.
All of these mercenaries had fought their way through the shadows of swords and blades. Logically speaking, they should be very experienced in both combat experience and battlefield sense. However, at the critical moment, the one who shouted out the Spider King's strong appearance was actually a young bartender. Moreover, this youth immediately pointed out the most correct combat order. However, what were they doing? Hesitation, confusion, and so on? The perfect opportunity for a cavalry to attack was wasted just like that.
"Sigh, my seven years as a mercenary have been wasted.”A rough-looking swordsman mocked himself. The surrounding mercenaries lowered their heads and sighed. The person who felt the most uncomfortable was the commander of the White Sword and White Armor, Phillos. He did not say a word and only dragged his heavy footsteps towards the Union.
Some of them followed Phillos to the Union, while the others stayed behind to clean up the battlefield. The mercenaries all understood that the fault of losing this battle was not entirely on Phillos. Even they were hesitant and timid. They could only blame the Fire Spider King for being too unexpected. It could actually cast Hellfire. They had heard from the older generation of mercenaries that although the Fire Spider King was few in number, it was quite powerful. They did not expect it to be so powerful. Hellfire, the blue Hellfire of the Demon King.
From afar, Fillos saw Zhang Hao coming out of the guild. Now, the person he was most afraid of seeing was Zhang Hao. When he saw him, he felt ashamed, self-reproach, regret, and so on. He turned around and walked in another direction. The mercenaries behind him were stunned when they saw him turn around. When they saw Zhang Hao, they came to their senses and let him go. The rest of the mercenaries slowly walked toward the guild. However, when they passed by Zhang Hao, the mercenaries lowered their heads and turned to the side. They did not dare to face Zhang Hao. They felt that this matter was really embarrassing.
Although Zhang Hao found it strange, he did not think too much about it. He followed Alicia to her house. There was no light in Alicia's house. Zhang Hao thought that her family was all asleep, but that was not the case. Alicia's family were all timid people. After the fire spider entered the village, it had been trembling under the blanket and did not dare to get up to light the lamp. Due to taboo customs, Zhang Hao hid behind a big tree outside. After a while, Alicia sneakily ran out with a black cloth in her arms. Zhang Hao took it and saw that it was a complete set of black night clothing. The size was just right. He couldn't help but wonder why Alicia had these things. Alicia saw his doubt and whispered,""This belonged to my grandfather. He was once a thief and has now passed away. At the end of his words, there was an indescribable sadness in his tone.
Zhang Hao shrugged his shoulders apologetically and walked behind the tree to change into his night clothes. However, he realized that there was no face cloth. Just as he was about to go out and ask, the girl had already handed him the face cloth. Zhang Hao took it and realized that the face mask and the night suit were two different kinds of fabric. The night suit should be made of cotton, which was quite comfortable to wear. The face cloth was made of silk and felt unusually smooth. Covering his face, Zhang Hao couldn't help but whisper,"What an elegant fragrance."
When the girl heard this, her face turned as red as an apple on Earth. It was just that the night was too late, and Zhang Hao did not pay attention to it, so he went over by mistake. Alicia turned around with a red face and said softly,""Alex, be careful and come back early.”
Zhang Hao nodded and took a deep breath. He activated his True Qi and jumped up, disappearing from the roof of Alicia's house. Alicia was both worried and shy. The face cloth that her grandfather used to wear was long gone, and there was no other black cloth at home. She was afraid that Zhang Hao would wait for a long time, so she gritted her teeth and cut off the black chest pocket that she used to wrap her chest and gave it to Zhang Hao as a face cloth. Who knew that Zhang Hao would say that it smelled good as soon as he put it on? How could she not be embarrassed?
After Zhang Hao disappeared for a long time, the girl's face was still slightly red. After a long time, she said,"Damn Alex!"
