They were still in the outer regions of the wild forest, and there were no powerful magical beasts. They were basically all level one magical beasts. They encountered one or two on the way, and were dealt with in a few moves. Lin Yu thought to himself that the Wilderness Forest was not as dangerous as people said. As if sensing Lin Yu's thoughts, Mrs. Chen asked everyone to stop.
"What's wrong, Captain?" Lin Yu was confused as he did not see any danger!
"Everyone, get into formation and hold your weapons. Listen, you can more or less hear the sounds of magical beasts along the way, but the sounds of magical beasts have disappeared here. Look at the terrain here. The surrounding trees are dense, and the middle trees are sparse. There must be an ambush nearby. It was either a powerful magical beast or someone.”Mrs. Chen said with certainty.
"There's actually an old bird here. Brothers, come out and get to work.”As soon as the sinister laughter faded, a group of martial artists dressed in black uniforms with a red wolf that was howling at the sky embroidered on their chests rushed out of the forest. The leader was an old man with a vicious face. One look and one could tell that he was not a good person.
"Red Wolf Mercenary Group!" Mrs. Chen exclaimed.
"Who are Captain and the others?"
" Do you see the red wolf logo on their clothes? They are a malignant tumor in the Wilderness. They specialize in killing and robbing. There are more than 3,000 people in the mercenary group. I heard that the leader is a Martial Arts Grandmaster. There had been experts who had tried to encircle and suppress them, but they had been able to escape every time.
"Have you thought it through? You still want money if you want to live. If you want to live, leave everything behind, including your weapons.”A man with a long scar on his face shouted proudly.
Mrs. Chen gestured for everyone to stay close together. "Everyone in Red Wolf, we have no past grievances or recent enmity. Can you be magnanimous?”
"F * ck, I gave you face but you don't want it. Now, I'm adding a condition. Keep that girl and let our brothers have fun.”
Hahahaha, the Red Wolves 'men laughed without restraint.
"You only have six people, one Martial Master and five Martial Apprentices. Although we have four people, we have two Martial Masters. In a head-on fight, you Red Wolves don't have the advantage.”Mrs. Chen said in a deep voice.
Brothers, someone is actually bargaining with us, haha! The face of the old man in the lead sank,"Kill the men and leave the women behind!"
"Miss Bai, Lin Yu, you guys focus on holding the enemy back. Pang Hu is up to you.”Chen Tai rushed over to stop the old man in the lead. Lin Yu and Miss Bai also quickly found an opponent. Pang Hu was not afraid of the two Martial Apprentices as he swung his fiery red axe left and right.
It was Lin Yu's first time fighting someone, so he was very excited. He used the Mysterious Heaven Sword Technique and sword shadows appeared everywhere, entangling the enemy.?He still had time to look around. It was the most intense on Mrs Chen's side. The yellow sword and the red broadsword clashed head-on. It was also unknown what kind of cultivation technique Miss Bai used, but she had also entangled her opponent.
Hah! Pang Hu shouted loudly. With a swing of his axe, he split open a large saber that was coming at him. The opponent was sent flying. With a shift in his steps, he split the enemy in half. Without even looking, he turned around and swung his axe. The one who had just climbed up was cut open.
Miss Bai, let me do it. Pang Hu finished off the two of them and ran towards Miss Bai's opponent. Lin Yu tightened his grip and unleashed the killing move of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Technique.
"Break the Heavens."
With a soft shout, the golden sword light flashed, and the tip of the sword was already in front of the opponent's throat. Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, but he did not stab him. The other party seemed to be stunned as well. He had never encountered such a fast sword technique before, but he was delighted and slashed at Lin Yu with his saber.?
Lin Yu had no choice but to push his sword forward. Blood gushed out of his throat as he stared at the terrified expression on the other party's face. He felt a sense of weakness in his heart. This was the first time he had killed someone in his previous life. There was no pleasure in it, only discomfort.?At some point, the battle had already ended. Other than Pang Hu's injured arm, everyone was fine.
"Brother, this is the life of a martial artist. It's either you die or I die. If we lose today, not only will we die but we will also be tortured, especially Miss Bai.”Pang Hu patted my shoulder with his uninjured hand. I looked at Miss Bai. Although I didn't say anything, I could tell from her shaking shoulders that she wasn't very calm.
"Brother Pang Da, I know. I'm fine.”Lin Yu took a deep breath. Mrs. Chen was obviously used to this kind of thing. She was looting the spoils of war from the red wolf's corpse.
After leaving this place, Mrs. Chen noticed that Lin Yu and Miss Bai did not seem to be in good spirits, so she found a place to rest.
The four of them sat around the bonfire, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. "Alright, everyone, drink a bowl of soup and regulate your breathing. After completing the mission, he could go back tomorrow.”After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she closed her eyes and said nothing. The others also closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing to recover their tired minds after drinking the soup. Suddenly, there was only the sound of firewood crackling.
"Let's go. The earlier we complete the mission, the earlier we go back.”After a period of adjustment, everyone's spirit had recovered to its peak state. The battle in the morning had faded. People's adaptability was very strong.
This was the Dead Tree Forest. For some reason, the leaves here were all gray. The ground was covered with dead leaves and no other plants grew. However, there was a kind of grass growing in the center. The leaves were also gray. People called it Dead Leaf Grass. No one knew what it was used for. The mission this time was to collect 10 Dead Leaf Grass. According to the information given by the Mercenary Guild, the Dead Leaf Grass is protected by a Tier 2 Magical Beast. Everyone, be careful later.
Stepping on the soft fallen leaves, the group walked deeper into the forest. If it was the red leaves, it would definitely be a tourist attraction. Sometimes, he would feel that he had been in the Dancing Spirit Continent for more than three years, and many of his thoughts from his previous life were still unforgettable.
The closer they got to the center, the darker the sky became. There was also fog around them, and visibility decreased. A small pond appeared in front of them. The pond water was as black as ink and surrounded by a circle of withered leaves. Seeing their target, everyone became even more careful. They wanted to find the magical beast first. Everyone looked at each other and saw that they had not found any traces of the magical beast.
"Are there no magical beasts?" Pang Hu asked in a suppressed voice.
"Impossible. The information says that there must be something, but we didn't find it.”
"Could it be in the pond?" Lin Yu was a little uncertain.
This possibility is very high. We have to think of a way to lure it out. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous to pick Dead Leaf Grass. Pang Hu, go chop down a tree and throw it into the pond. We'll be on guard.
Pang Hu walked towards a dead tree in the distance with his broad axe and started chopping at it. At this time, no one noticed that the withered leaves behind Pang Hu were slowly moving. Pang Hu did not notice that Lin Yu and the rest were also focused on the pond.
Puff!
There was a loud bang and Pang Hu's miserable cry! Lin Yu and the others quickly looked at Pang Hu and saw him flying away. In the place where Pang Hu was standing, there was a five-foot-long gray demonic beast with a thick bucket. Its black tail was making a loud sound.
"Earth Dragon!" The knowledgeable Mrs. Chen knew what kind of demonic beast it was at a glance. The two of you go and see how Pang Hu is doing. I'll stop the earth dragon first. After saying that, he raised his sword and charged at the earth dragon.
Lin Yu and Miss Bai quickly ran towards Pang Hu. Pang Hu was lying on the ground unconscious. His abdomen was badly mutilated and he had lost count of how many bones were broken. Even if he was rescued, he probably wouldn't be able to use force in the future.
"Captain, Brother Pang Da is unconscious. What should we do?”Lin Yu shouted.
"Give him the medicine in the backpack first. There are internal and external medicines.”
"Alright." He hurriedly opened his backpack and handed the external application to Miss Bai. He poured out an internal pill and prepared to feed it to Pang Hu. He looked at Pang Hu's tightly shut lips.
He quickly found a withered branch nearby and opened Pang Hu's mouth. Immediately, hot steam came out. Pui! Pui! It was so smelly. Was he even human? Lin Yu pinched his nose and stuffed the pill into his mouth. He quickly went to the side to breathe some fresh air. Miss Bai had already treated his wound.
"Captain, do you need help?" Lin Yu asked as he watched the intense battle between Mrs. Chen and the Earth Dragon.
"No need. The earth dragon's entire body is slippery and can't be pierced by swords. Only its head has a weakness. Just guard Pang Hu."
"Oh."
Although they did not need any help, Lin Yu and Miss Bai were watching the two sides in the fierce battle. Chen Tai's longsword, which was covered in earth attribute, stabbed towards the eyes of the Earth Dragon. Other than the eyes, the rest of the Earth Dragon's head was covered in scales. The Earth Dragon's attacks were relatively simple. Other than its tail that appeared and disappeared mysteriously, there were no other attacks.
Mrs. Chen quickly dodged the earth dragon's tail and took advantage of the gap to attack the earth dragon's eyes with her sword. At this time, the earth dragon would agilely avoid its eyes. Even if other places were cut by the sword, they would slide to the side and not hurt it at all.
"Ah, Captain, run!" Before Mrs. Chen, who had just dodged its tail, could react, the earth dragon suddenly bumped into Mrs. Chen.
