?

"Didn't anyone tell you that this is the territory of our knight martial arts school? How dare a few third-rate mercenaries come here to poach monsters like us?" The leader of the group walked out.

Zhao Jin took a deep breath, stabilized his breath, looked at the other person, suddenly changed his expression, walked forward with a smile and said: "You are Captain Jing Lu of the Xia Ke Martial Arts School, right?"

This person is none other than one of the dozens of captains in the Xia Ke Martial Arts Hall, the blue-patterned mercenary Jing Lu.

It has to be said that Zhao Jin's move was quite beautiful. As soon as he said the words, Jing Lu immediately changed his hostility and looked aloof: "It's me!"

"As expected, it's you. I've heard long ago that Captain Jing Lu, a blue-striped mercenary, is a talented person with extraordinary strength. When I meet you today, I am indeed extraordinary. I am the deputy leader of the Star Mercenary Group. I hope you can take good care of us little ones.

Team.”

Zhao Jin reached out and took out a money bag from his arms, and handed it over with both hands: "I don't have any skills, that's all. Please buy a drink."

Jing Lu looked Zhao Jin up and down, reached for the money bag and weighed it, turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, for the sake of your filial piety, leave here as soon as possible, otherwise I will come over later, but don't blame me for not doing so."

polite."

"Okay, okay, let's leave now."

Zhao Jin nodded repeatedly, then turned around and glared at Zhou Yang: "What are you looking at? If you don't lead everyone away, you dare to mess around here! If Lord Jing Lu hadn't been here today, you would have died long ago!"

"Let's go..."

Jing Lu waved his hand to Zhao Jin, who quickly nodded with a smile, turned around and followed the team, heading towards the official road.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaofan felt unhappy in his heart. It had been a year since he had been in the Spiritual Glory Realm, and his head was bleeding, but he had never been as depressed and without self-esteem as Zhao Jin.

But thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan felt quite ashamed, and now he was complaining in his heart. In fact, he didn't even dare to fart!

There were more than thirty people who had just come over. Jing Lu was from the Xuanwu Realm, and he also had a pair of mercenaries from the Lingwu Realm and Yuanwu Realm. If there was a fight, their small team of more than ten people would not even be able to fight back.

No strength at all.

At this time, Zhao Jin also clenched his fists and walked back. The moment he was out of the sight of the knight martial arts hall, he was shaking. Jiang Xiaofan quickly stepped forward to support him. Zhao Jin's bloodshot eyes were full of unwillingness.

.

In this world where martial arts is the most important thing, the law of the jungle is like this.

If he were alone, he would have fought to the death for his dignity, but in order for the group of people to live, Zhao Jin was willing to give up his dignity and save everyone's lives. Such forbearance made Jiang Xiaofan secretly admire him.

Along the way, the atmosphere was extremely cold. When we arrived near the official road, it was completely dark. Zhao Jin said, "Jiang Fan, please raise the fire while the others set up tents. We will rest here tonight."

"

Jiang Xiaofan did not dare to be careless. He raised his hand to put up the dry firewood he picked up along the way, and then lit it. The firelight brought a ray of warmth to everyone in this dark and cold night.

Several people ate some dry pancakes they brought, drank some water, and then went to rest.

Men are all rough and ready to sleep wherever they want. Yisha is a girl after all, so a separate tent was arranged for her with a straw mat on the ground. Two people were left to keep watch while everyone slept.

After a day of running around and fighting, everyone was already exhausted. Soon the sound of snoring started to spread. Jiang Xiaofan tossed around without a trace of sleep. Today's events gave him an urgent desire to repair his soul!

If he doesn't regain his strength, given his temper, he may not be able to survive for long in this Silver Frost City.

After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, Jiang Xiaofan finally sat up. He walked out of the rag tent and walked to the campfire. At this time, a mercenary said: "Hey, Jiang Fan, why are you out if you don't sleep?"

Jiang Xiaofan scratched his head and smiled: "I went to bed early last night and I'm not too sleepy now. Why don't you go to bed and I'll keep watch."

"Really?" Both of them were overjoyed at this time. After all, they had a tiring day and wanted to have a good sleep.

"Well, you go to sleep. I'll keep watch for you. If anything happens, I'll call you." Jiang Xiaofan said, took out his knife and sat on the stone pier beside him.

The two of them stood up quickly and said to Jiang Xiaofan: "You are still a brother. Let's go and take a nap for a while. If you feel sleepy, just call us."

"good!"

Seeing the two of them getting into the crowd, squeezing out a sleeping place, closing their eyes, and soon joining in the loud snoring, Jiang Xiaofan smiled bitterly. This difficult environment reminded him of the time when he was raped by Jiang Lun.

The time when he was thrown into the Bone Forest and narrowly escaped death.

He originally thought that he could become stronger along the way and protect everyone, but he didn't expect that he would end up back where he started. Although it was only temporary, it still allowed him to enjoy the feeling of being a weakling and surviving.

He never wants to feel this way again in his life!

As soon as he closed his eyes, he began to search for elixirs and herbs in his brain, hoping to find a way to restore his soul.

Jiang Xiaofan sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​thoughts, with all the contents of the Medicine King Divine Code flowing around him. He read through it carefully, looking for useful information.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in his ears. Jiang Xiaofan immediately regained consciousness and opened his eyes. He saw Yixia coming out of the tent and sitting next to him, looking at Jiang Xiaofan carefully.

Jiang Xiaofan smiled at Yixia and said, "Why are you running out so late at night if you don't sleep? Aren't you afraid that the wild wolves in the forest will eat you?"

"If there are really wild wolves, we will have an extra meal for a midnight snack." Isha smiled, and the small tiger teeth poked out from between his lips, shining coldly in the moonlight.

Jiang Xiaofan couldn't help but shrink his pupils, because just for a moment, through the reflection of the moonlight, Jiang Xiaofan saw a red light reflected from her eyes!

This should not be the light that human eyes should have, but more like the pupils of beasts!

Just like the eyes of cats and dogs under the light!

Although it was only for a moment, Jiang Xiaofan was convinced! He was definitely not dazzled!

Jiang Xiaofan smiled and said nothing, but he was already pondering in his heart. The identity of Yixia is definitely not as simple as a village orphan!

That night, Jiang Xiaofan and Yi Xia chatted together, but they seemed to have a clear understanding of their life experiences and kept silent.

The next morning, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and a mercenary group passed by their camp. Yixia and Jiang Xiaofan opened their eyes at the same time, and then realized that it was already dawn, and Yixia had fallen asleep leaning on Jiang Xiaofan's shoulder.

Jiang Xiaofan tilted his head slightly, and the two looked at each other. They were startled and stepped back.

Zhao Jin walked out at this time, and the leader of the mercenary group opposite greeted Zhao Jin. It seemed that the two of them knew each other. After exchanging a few words, they entered the Ten Thousand Crystal Forest directly.

Zhao Jin came back at this time. He looked at Jiang Xiaofan and asked with a trace of confusion on his face: "Jiang Fan, why is there a big piece of wet on your shoulder?"

Jiang Xiaofan looked over his shoulder and saw that the place where Yixia was sleeping was indeed wet. He immediately looked at Yixia, who covered her mouth and said, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything."

"Let's go! Let's go back to the city!" Zhao Jin laughed, and then led everyone onto the official road.

…

On the way, Jiang Xiaofan quickly came to Zhao Jin and asked: "Brother Zhao Jin, is there a place called Duanlong Mountain nearby?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jin was stunned: "Duanlong Mountain is one of the very dangerous areas east of Ten Thousand Crystals Forest. There are countless level 4 monsters in it, and there are even level 5 monsters. Why do you ask this?"

"I remember hearing from my master that there are some rare spiritual herbs in Duanlong Mountain. You can go to the Mercenary Guild to see if there is any mission to find spiritual herbs in Duanlong Mountain. I want to go around." Jiang Xiaofan rubbed his hands and chuckled.

.

Jiang Xiaofan also saw Broken Dragon Mountain in the Medicine King's Divine Code. There is a spiritual grass called Dragon Soul Grass in this place, which is one of the important materials for refining the Soul Pill. If there is Dragon Soul Grass, other spiritual herbs cannot

It is difficult to buy, so that he can restore his soul as soon as possible.

After all, Jiang Xiaofan has stars and sea in his eyes, how can he be a small mercenary here?

"This won't work! Broken Dragon Mountain is too dangerous. With your level, if you can't reach Broken Dragon Mountain, you will become a monster on the road." Zhao Jin waved his hands repeatedly.

Yi Xia walked up at this time: "I remember that the mercenary union had a mission to find dragon tendon grass. It seems that it was in Duanlong Mountain. The commission was 100,000 copper coins. It's just been two years and no one has taken it. Listen.

It is said that dragon tendon grass can be found in Duanlong Mountain."

Dragonweed?

Jiang Xiaofan searched quickly in his mind, and sure enough he found this herb, and both Dragon Soul Grass and Dragon Soul Grass grow in Broken Dragon Mountain!

"I remember my master said that there are a lot of dragon-weed grasses in the mountains." Jiang Xiaofan said confidently.

"Really? Wouldn't that make you rich? One hundred thousand copper coins, even if our Star Mercenary Group doesn't accept missions for several years, it will still be enough to cover the expenses." Isha's eyes were twinkling with stars, looking like he was obsessed with money.

Zhao Jin frowned but did not refuse. It was obvious that the temptation of 100,000 bronze coins was not small for him. After thinking for a few seconds, he said: "This matter needs to be decided by the group leader. Let's go back and talk about it first."

There's drama!

Jiang Xiaofan was immediately happy!

Not to mention anything else, as long as he can go to Broken Dragon Mountain, even if he finds a dragon soul grass, he will be able to restore a lot of souls in a short period of time. At that time, he may be able to hunt some powerful monsters to speed up his recovery.

No matter what, he must go to Duanlong Mountain!

After walking all morning, they finally returned to Yinshuang City and went to the Mercenary Union to deliver the task. After receiving the commission, Zhao Jin led everyone back to the compound. He went directly to the group leader Xiang Zhu to discuss it.

Not long after, Zhao Jin called Jiang Xiaofan in!

Xiang Zhu was standing in the house at this time. When he saw Jiang Xiaofan come in, he asked: "Jiang Fan, I heard that you know that Longjincao is on Duanlong Mountain? Are you sure about this?"

It seems that Xiang Zhu has not resisted the temptation of money. In this world of the jungle, having money means that he can expand the number of mercenary groups and increase the overall combat power. Only in this way can he stay neutral in Yinshuang City!

100,000 copper coins is quite tempting for any mercenary group!

"That's right! Spiritual herbs such as dragon tendon grass, hundred flower dew, and nine dead vines are all found on Duanlong Mountain."

Jiang Xiaofan was already prepared and told a few spiritual herbs found in the Medicine King's Divine Code. In order to show that he was not just talking randomly, Jiang Xiaofan added: "My master is a Xuan-level alchemist. He used to be with me."

As I said, I am just not talented enough and have not learned how to make alchemy, but the information about these spiritual herbs was told to me by my master, and I am absolutely sure that it will not be false!"

Xiang Zhu nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Duanlong Mountain is too dangerous, and more people will be a burden. Jiang Fan, you and Zhao Jin go to the Mercenary Guild to accept this task, and then go to Duanlong Mountain together, but if there is danger

Withdraw immediately."

"I got it." Jiang Xiaofan could see Xiang Zhu's concern and attention to the safety of the two of them, so he nodded seriously.

"Okay, you go ahead. You must keep a low profile when accepting tasks to prevent thieves from taking notice."
