Outside the dense forest, Uncle Wen sat paralyzed on the ground, his heart pounding, as scenes from the past flashed before his eyes.
Buying a child was impossible at first, but Uncle Wen's love for Lu Chen has not diminished a bit. Coincidentally, Lu Chen likes to go to Uncle Wen's shop every time he goes out on the street, and Uncle Wen also hurriedly brings the prepared candied haws.
Hand it to him.
No one would have thought that the little kid who was holding candied haws and shouting goodbye to his uncle could now be on his own, but now he had to watch him die in front of him.
Poof!
The sound of a spear penetrating into flesh was heard, causing the mercenary captain and others to laugh wildly.
"Hahaha!"
"Haha, I posted it this time. Even if there was no Gucheng Mercenary Guild, I would have posted it!"
Snap!
The mercenary captain slapped the laughing mercenary on the back of the head.
"Haha, boss, it was you who sent it, but boss, you have to keep some soup anyway!"
"Hehe, that's pretty much it. Go and see if they are dead. Get the storage ring. Those fat sheep merchants are yours this time!" The mercenary captain laughed. What he did this time was not small, and he killed people.
The young master of the Lu family in Gucheng.
He had already inquired about it. Although the young master of the Lu family had good abilities, it was a pity that he had no experience in going out for the first time. Moreover, according to his guess, such a person would naturally bring a lot of good things with him when he went out.
"If this is done this time, I will never want to go back to Gucheng, and the Mercenary Guild will naturally lose my place to stay. However, this benefit is enough for me to live a carefree life!"
The mercenary captain made up his mind to kill the young master of the Lu family and then leave the isolated city to find a city that no one knew and live in peace for the rest of his life.
The first time he left the city, he stared at the ring on Lu Chen's hand. He had almost no luggage with him. For these wealthy families, he guessed that the other party must have a storage ring.
"Okay!" The mercenary beside him was overjoyed when he heard this, and ran towards the carriage in three steps at a time.
After opening the curtain, the mercenary's expression suddenly changed, "Boss... boss!"
"Be quick as hell and get a storage ring that's as stained as ink!"
"No, no, yes!"
"Go away, no, yes, are you stupid?"
The mercenary captain kicked away the mercenary who was blocking his view. He used his hands hard and the car curtain fell to the ground with a clang.
"This..." When he saw everything in the carriage clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
Inside the car, a large winter melon was wrapped in a quilt and stood upright. Looking from the outside of the car, if you weren't careful, you might think you were sitting alone in the car.
"Look, look for me, if you can't find him, none of you will be alive!"
The mercenary captain had a look of fear on his face and regretted taking action against Mr. Lu. He couldn't figure out why such a good person disappeared.
That was the young master of the city. Killing him was like squeezing an ant to death.
"These damn profiteers, if anything happens to me, I will have them on my back to death!"
"Boss, no, that kid just disappeared out of thin air!"
"Boss, we didn't find it either!"
…
Listening to the report from his subordinates, the mercenary captain looked gloomy and waved his hand, "Bring all the merchants here. Watch out for those who are cooperating. Don't let them go. If something happens to us, hum!"
"Yes, little one, let's go right now!"
"Boss, I heard that the young master of the Lu family has a mysterious master. Do you think it was his master who took action?"
When the mercenary captain heard this, he slapped the mercenary who spoke out and said, "Why didn't you tell him earlier if you knew he had a master?"
After pondering for a moment, the mercenary captain looked around and said, "It's unlikely. If that expert really takes action, do you think you still have a chance to talk nonsense here?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the boss is wise!"
"Hurry up and find it!"
…
As night gradually fell, torches were lit one after another, and there were human figures in a radius of more than ten feet.
In the center of these torches, a figure wearing armor sat cross-legged on a boulder, frowning, and his face became increasingly gloomy as time went by.
"Boss, it's been a few hours, do you think that kid has run away?"
The cross-legged man opened his eyes, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, "Now it's hard to get off the tiger. Come and kill those profiteers!"
"yes!"
"No! No! We agreed at the beginning that as long as we kill Lu Chen and other businessmen, everything on Lu Chen's body will be yours. We only want the goods, and we will help you cover up the truth when we return to Gucheng." Some businessmen looked at it.
Holding the sword on his head, with a look of fear on his face, he roared loudly.
All the merchants involved looked ashen and secretly hated themselves for cooperating with these guys who licked blood from their swords.
"To cover up the truth, even if I don't kill you, do you think you can survive if the little beast from the Lu family escapes? In this world, the only people who can truly cover up the truth are dead people!"
When several businessmen heard this, their faces turned pale. They didn't know where they got the strength at that moment, but they broke free from the mercenary's hands and were about to get into the dense forest.
"Kill!" the mercenary captain shouted coldly, and several simple arrows whizzed past, directly nailing several people to the ground.
"Pull the rest over here!"
Looking at the businessman standing in front of him with a trembling body and a look of fear on his face, the mercenary captain looked ferocious.
"Should I do it or should you hand it over yourself!"
"We, we give!"
Looking at the list of items handed over, a smile finally appeared on the mercenary captain's face.
After winking at the mercenaries around him, the latter slowly walked behind the merchants who handed over their goods.
"Boss, something happened!"
"You fucking want to die? What the hell is that?"
"Boss, Old Man Wen is missing!"
"Huh, if you don't see him, he's gone. A businessman can't get out of this mountain range without the protection of our mercenaries. Wait, who do you think is missing?"
"Old man Wen, the old man who brought wine to the young master of the Lu family."
Snap!
The mercenary captain slapped the mercenary who came to report and flew him away without caring about his life or death. He flashed his figure and rushed towards the place where Uncle Wen was tied up.
There, an old man was tied up before, but now, let alone the old man, there is no rope to tie him up.
"You bunch of trash, you're still standing, let me find you!"
The roar spread across the mountains and echoed continuously.
"ah!"
Just a moment later, a scream suddenly sounded.
"Here we come!" A mercenary backed away in fear, but suddenly felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and saw a red dagger appearing in his chest.
"Well..." He only had time to whimper twice before he felt his whole body begin to get cold and his consciousness began to blur.
"There!" A mercenary spotted a black shadow flashing across the treetops and hurriedly chased after it, only to find the body of a companion.
"Come back, come back all the time!" The mercenary captain looked frightened. He understood that only by gathering together could they find a chance of survival.
"I'm crazy. I'm really crazy. I would even think of killing a young master of the Lu family who rules the entire isolated city!" At this moment, the mercenary captain only felt regret in his heart.
"Quickly, bring those merchants here, surround them all outside, and wait for daybreak. Leave as soon as daybreak. You must not go back to Gucheng!"
"Boss..." Several mercenaries ran over with fear on their faces.
"Where are the businessmen? You losers, do you still want to live?"
"Boss, those businessmen disappeared without a trace, disappeared without a trace!"
"What?" Hearing such news, the mercenary captain felt a chill down his back. He had only been in the isolated city for a short time and never believed the rumors in the city. In his opinion, they were all exaggerated by ordinary people. Now, he only had a look of fear on his face.
.
"Surround us all and guard, otherwise we will all die!"
When the mercenaries heard this, their faces were filled with fear and their hands were trembling.
Time passes in fear, and an hour passes!
Two hours have passed!
…
"Boss, do you think the evil star has left?"
call out!
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and the mercenary who spoke felt a chill in his throat, as a simple arrow had already pierced his throat.
"Trash, trash, don't talk nonsense, hold on, it will be dawn soon, and then we can leave here."
Seeing the faint white fish belly in the gray sky, the mercenaries felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Only by holding on could they survive. If they ran out now in the dark, they would die in the mountains without the evil stars taking action.
Time is still passing by, and traces of light can already be seen in the mountains. The moist breeze blows on the mercenaries who are close together, giving them an extra chill.
Many people couldn't help but shudder.
"It's dawn!"
"There has been no movement from the evil star for so long. He may have left." A mercenary said.
The mercenary captain also nodded. It was daytime now, and it was impossible for Lu Chen to make a sneak attack. "Perhaps he took those businessmen away because he was worried about our joint strength!"
Hearing what the boss said, all the mercenaries heaved a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. They had been so tense all night. Not to mention them, even Lu Chen couldn't bear it.
"You really think highly of yourself!"
A very sudden sound sounded from the treetops.
"Lu... Lu Chen!" the mercenary captain's voice trembled.
"Evil Star, he didn't leave!"
One of the mercenaries turned around and was about to run away, but was pierced through the sole of his foot by a simple arrow, and screamed loudly.
"Don't run, there are so many of us, and we are still afraid of a little kid. I have never seen anything in the world. I will kill him today!" The mercenary captain said fiercely with a fierce look on his face, but he didn't make a move.
"Yes, the boss is right. He is a boy in his teens. Rumor has it that the Lu family is only at the level of a warrior. The boss has already reached the sixth level of a warrior. With us included, are we still afraid of him?"
Looking at the roaring figures not far away, Lu Chen looked calm and smiled.
"There's so much nonsense. If you don't do anything, then I will!"
After the words fell, his figure took a step forward and said, "Get up!"
The handprints changed, and several simple spiritual seals fell around the mercenaries. Lu Chen fell to the ground and held his chest motionless.
"Playing tricks, take action!" the mercenary captain shouted, and the figure rushed out first, followed by the mercenaries behind him.
"Fire array, now!"
The handprints changed again, and a strange force immediately trapped all the mercenaries in the spiritual formation.
"Is this a spiritual formation?" Fearful voices continued to spread.
"Fire up!"
In the spiritual formation, suddenly the sky was filled with fire, and after a few breaths, a burning smell spread.
"ah……"
Screams rang out one after another, and half a quarter of an hour passed, with only three people struggling to resist.
"A bunch of trash, huh!" The mercenary captain snorted coldly and knocked out the person next to him with one palm. True energy poured into the opponent's body and soon formed a protective shield on the surface of his body.
"Still stunned, let me resist, otherwise neither of us will be able to escape alive!"
