After the group of monsters and beasts retreated, everyone held on to their tired bodies and came to the fire with lingering fears. They looked at each other and sat down on the ground. This feeling of surviving after a disaster is always gratifying. For them,
For mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife, living is the greatest satisfaction and gain.
Everyone sat together while recovering their strength and chatting in low voices. Of course, what they talked about the most were the spikes that suddenly appeared at the critical moment and the terrifying four-winged flying snake.
When the mercenaries talked about the spikes, they unconsciously cast their eyes on Wang Tian, who was sitting cross-legged by the fire. Their eyes at this time were full of awe and gratitude. This kind of eyes had not been seen before.
Only leader Charles can enjoy it.
Charles slowly fell from the sky, came to Wang Tian, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you very much, little brother."
Wang Tian was still sitting where he was, with the corners of his mouth raised, he smiled lightly and said, "Brother Charles, what are you doing?"
Mazi also walked over with lingering fear, bowed respectfully to Wang Tian, and said in a trembling voice: "Little brother, I, Mazi, owe you my life."
Wang Tian stood up, touched his nose and said, "Brother Charles can take me in, so this is what I should do."
Charles looked at Wang Tian and said happily: "If you have any requests, little brother, just ask us. We will definitely satisfy you, little brother."
Wang Tian thought for a while and said with a smile: "When you kill that stupid bear and roast the bear's paws, just give me a taste."
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! When the time comes, we will drink with the bear's paws and we won't come back until we get drunk."
"You won't come home until you're drunk!" Mazi suddenly slapped his thigh, obviously reaching the point where he got excited.
After everyone recovered a little strength, they got up, and after expertly disposing of the beast corpses all over the ground, they took advantage of the night to sneak into the dark woods ahead. Because the smell of blood here would soon attract countless ferocious beasts around them.
In the Atlas Mountains, there are almost endless monsters. No one is stupid enough to compete with those monsters. It is better to avoid them if you can.
The so-called "night" is just a few dark light spots in the dark sky. Even on a full moon night, it is extremely difficult for the moonlight to penetrate the perennial fog here.
Moreover, the humidity at night was extremely heavy, and everyone's clothes were as wet as if they had been soaked by rain. Although everyone was a king-level or even a senior-level expert, no one bothered to evaporate the moisture on their bodies, because it was so wet.
Qi is everywhere and at all times. Even if it evaporates dry, it will be wetted again. No one will waste precious energy for this comfort.
In the Atlas Mountains, sometimes the energy is equivalent to life.
What surprised Wang Tian was that no matter how dark the environment was, the Wild Wolf mercenary group was moving in an orderly manner, moving in one direction, as if they had been here before, and as if there was some kind of guidance in the dark.
"Brother Charles, I have something unclear and I would like to ask you for advice." Wang Tian walked up to Charles and asked in a low voice.
"Oh? If you need anything, little brother, just ask, and I will tell you everything." Charles said with a smile.
Wang Tian pondered for a moment and then said with a smile: "Young man found that this fog severely limits the power of spiritual consciousness. I also got lost because of this. I don't know how Brother Charles determined the direction."
Hearing this, Charles showed a touch of pride on his face and smiled: "Our wolf mercenary group is called wild wolves because we not only have the unity of the wolf pack, but also the sense of smell and vigilance of the wolf pack. Every person in the chaotic land
If a mercenary, or even every cultivator, wants to survive, the first condition is to learn to be an excellent hunter."
"Hunter?" Wang Tian frowned.
"Yes! Hunters, just like the bear of the earth, our employer provides us with not only the general direction of its appearance, but also its hair and feces. Through these, the hunter can find it and come out.
Look for traces left by food, and then find the correct route based on these traces."
Wang Tian's expression changed slightly, he hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists towards Charles and said, "I hope Brother Charles will teach me how to become a hunter."
Wang Tian is not the kind of person who cares about face. As long as he can survive better and become stronger, all those things that are about face are nothing to him.
Maybe there are many people in the world who make some idiotic and very low-level mistakes for the sake of face. Most of them are people who have no worries about material life, and they are not firm in their beliefs or will, so they are mentally weak.
Thinking too much leads to going astray.
Along the way, Charles taught Wang Tian extremely seriously how to identify the traces of monsters, their habits, and the identification and treatment of various plants. The most important thing was to identify and handle various plants according to the various hairs, excrements, and smells left behind by the monsters.
Wait and determine the time, direction and general strength level of the monster's departure.
Even though Wang Tian's strength is much higher than that of Charles, he can't help but feel deep admiration for this old mercenary's knowledge and experience, and these are valuable experiences summed up with blood and life.
"Boss, we're almost there." Suddenly, Xiaopang's voice sounded in Wang Tian's mind.
Wang Tian was suddenly startled and couldn't help but stop. Then he remembered the place where the gravity was extremely abnormal that Xiaopang had mentioned before.
"Little brother, what's wrong?" Charles asked doubtfully.
Wang Tian smiled slightly and said: "The front is a bit weird, I can't tell what the details are."
Charles' expression was slightly stagnant. If others said such things, he would definitely be dismissive. Because he was in front, he did not feel the slightest weirdness or threat. However, with his previous experience, Charles had to treat Wang Tian's words carefully.
.
"Rest where you are!" Charles suddenly let out a loud shout, then turned to look at Wang Tian and said with a smile, "I hope the little brother will help the elder brother take care of it. I will go to the front to explore."
"It's okay, kid, do your best," Wang Tian said.
"Thank you."
Charles clasped his fists at Wang Tian and turned around to head towards the woods ahead.
Seeing Charles' disappearing figure, he smiled slightly, and his spiritual consciousness carried the power of the earth along the soles of his feet, spreading deep into the ground, and then covering the entire camp.
"Is Sloth Bear in this area? Xiaopang." Wang Tian asked.
"Not only is the gravity of this area abnormal, but even the space is somewhat distorted, and the perception is extremely blurry. However, there are powerful life fluctuations inside. Boss, look at how hard I work. When the time comes, can you give me a baked bear paw?
"The little fat guy said excitedly, with a hint of laughter at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this, Wang Tian suddenly said angrily: "You lazy fat guy, do you think that stupid bear is covered in bear paws? And even one? Not even half of it."
"Tch...Boss, you are unreasonable and I will ignore you." After Xiaopang finished speaking, he lay down in the Qiankun breastplate on Wang Tian's chest, looking like an angry little lady.
Seeing Xiaopang's appearance, Wang Tian couldn't help but smile and ignored him.
About ten minutes later, Charles' figure suddenly broke through the fog and walked towards the convoy.
"Brother, how are you?" Wang Tian asked with a smile. Pei Ge, Mazi and others on the side also pricked up their ears and looked at Charles.
Charles frowned slightly, glanced at Wang Tian in great surprise, and said: "There is something weird in front. The gravity is several times that here, and the deeper you go, the more abnormal the gravity becomes. Little brother, you are really a god.
.”
"Little brother, he is a god and my savior, haha"
Wang Tian smiled slightly and said, "Can it still be done?"
"We have to try, but when gravity is abnormal, our combat power will be weakened a lot. If it doesn't work, we can only select a few masters to try." Charles did not show any disappointment, and then said, "Even if we kill
Without that Earth Bear, the harvest from entering the Atlas Mountains this time is enough."
Hearing the words of the group leader, the surrounding mercenaries couldn't help but look at the storage bags in their hands, and all showed a satisfied smile. They could sell just the monster cores obtained by killing monsters along the way, as well as precious materials and furs.
A good price.
After a while, under the leadership of Charles, everyone walked through the dense woods in front and came to an open grassland. In front of them, they could vaguely see a series of mountains.
"This is it, everyone, be careful. Although the gravity here does not increase too much, it will be bad if you accidentally eat a mouthful of mud and knock off your front teeth." Charles joked with a smile.
"Hahaha, only Mazi can do such a thing." Someone among the mercenaries laughed.
"Fuck you, I can't do it, hey." As Mazi was walking in front, while speaking, he suddenly stepped into the gravity zone. The terrifying gravity hit, as if a pair of invisible big hands suddenly stretched out from under him and pulled him.
His body fell suddenly. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance, otherwise he would really have knocked off a front tooth. After regaining his balance, Mazi touched his front teeth and couldn't help but tremble all over.
After entering the gravity zone, everyone gradually stopped laughing and clenched their weapons, and the scene became a little tense.
Charles walked around the grass several times, found a very thick black hair in the grass, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then said with a smile: "It seems that we have found the right place, that sloth bear is right there."
in."
Charles looked around at the mercenaries and said slowly: "I tried it just now. The further inside, the greater the gravity. Before I reached the center, the gravity had already reached more than ten times. Many people couldn't handle this gravity alone.
It’s extremely strenuous, let alone killing the Earth Bear! For this reason, brothers above the king level should follow me, while the rest will stay on standby to do the response work.”
After Charles finished speaking, there was no commotion in the mercenary group. The four senior king-level and above people handed the things in their hands to their companions, then grabbed their weapons and came to Charles.
Wang Tian smiled slightly and took a step forward.
Seeing Wang Tian's action, Charles's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled and said: "Little brother, are you willing to go too?"
"Well, sitting here, the bear's paw can't fly over by itself, so I have to go and see the sloth bear." Wang Tian said with a smile.
"good!"
Charles patted Wang Tian hard and led everyone into the fog ahead.
The gravity increased little by little, and the fog became thicker and thicker, until it finally reached an extremely terrifying level. Even with everyone's strength, the visibility could only be seen within a few meters.
