King Kong immediately restrained his temper, glanced at Wang Man a few times, and after thinking about it, took the lead and made way for him. He originally thought that Wang Man was blocked by his group, so he started to curse.
, Although he didn’t know where Wang Man came from, King Kong didn’t want to offend anyone easily. His intuition told him that the other party couldn’t be some small role.
But what King Kong didn't expect was that although the road was cleared, Wang Man shouted at Tuo Lei: "Let's go! Aren't you afraid of losing your worth by chattering with a fat child?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone present was stunned. King Kong and others were naturally shocked because of Wang Man's words about fat children, while Tuo Lei did not expect that Wang Man would stand up to defend himself at a critical moment.
.
From the moment he opened his mouth, it became clear that Wang Man and himself were on the same front, something Tuo Lei had never thought of.
It is undeniable that Tuo Lei knew that the person he met was the famous Queen Yuan Wuling, and he also thought about looking for a backer. But at the beginning, he just thought that he should lay the emotional foundation first, and suddenly met him here.
When they arrived at King Kong's group, Tuo Lei was still a little worried, fearing that Wang Man might mistakenly think that he was taking advantage of him.
Looking at it now, Wang Man was not only not angry, but also seemed to be defending him. This made Tuo Lei suddenly understand that maybe he was judging the gentleman with the heart of a villain. I am afraid that others have already seen through his mind. Since
If you didn't point it out at that time, it means that they really treat you as a friend!
Thinking of this, Tuo Lei immediately glanced at Wang Man gratefully and said, "Okay, brother. Let's go!"
After saying that, he followed Wang Man and walked out of the store in a swaggering manner.
After the two of them left, King Kong and the others suddenly came to their senses and wanted to chase them out angrily, but they were stopped by another orc with a big trunk and said: "Wait a minute, split into groups.
Commander, didn't you hear that just now? That guy Tuo Lei, what did you call that kid just now?"
"Call me eldest brother, didn't you hear me?" King Kong didn't even think about it and replied angrily. Then he suddenly reacted and said: "Isn't Tuo Lei the leader of the group? He still calls others eldest brother?"
"Could it be that he found a backer?" Someone asked doubtfully.
"It's hard to say!" King Kong thought for a moment and said, "Don't be impulsive. Let's follow up and check that guy's background! Damn, Tuo Lei's small team has already been our intended prey. How can we let others come out?
Insert a shoulder across the board?"
So, several orcs quietly gathered together and planned to follow Wang Man and others to investigate.
But Wang Man didn't think too much. After walking out with Tuo Lei, he didn't say a word and headed towards the back hill of the village where he needed to deal with the task.
Tuo Lei followed him, and finally broke the silence with some embarrassment, saying to Wang Man: "Brother, I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
Wang Man didn't speak, just nodded. Then he asked Tuo Lei, "Why do their hunter mercenary group want to annex you?"
Tuo Lei was stunned for a moment, and then said strangely: "Brother, don't you know? If a mercenary group chooses to attach itself to another mercenary group, every time the group does not have a meeting, the mercenaries must turn in five thousand gold coins.
Giving the group funds to the higher-ups is an essential way to develop the mercenary group in the later stage!"
Wang Man was suddenly a little surprised. Although he was also the supreme king of the wolf clan, he really didn't know about these things. At first, he only had an alliance with Blood Night Castle. As for attachment, he had never heard of it.
But now after hearing what Tuo Lei said, Wang Man immediately understood what the Hunter Guild was up to.
In the later stages, the expansion of the size of the mercenary group becomes more and more laborious. You must know that the funds required to develop the mercenary group cannot be achieved through separate efforts. In this way, in the later stage, the mercenary group will
Funding will increasingly become a constraint to development.
And if you want to get funds from other ways, there are two ways. One is to launch a mercenary group war. The winning side will receive a large amount of funds. Or the winning side can choose to directly destroy the losing side.
mercenary group, thereby directly seizing all the funds of the other party's mercenary group.
Another way is to threaten and force some small mercenary groups with less promising development prospects like King Kong and others, and let them choose to attach themselves to the name of their own mercenary group. In this way, although
They cannot launch war against these small dependent mercenary groups, but they can obtain funds from these dependent mercenary groups every once in a while. It is just like paying protection fees.
Both methods are pre-set by the mastermind behind the scenes. Through these two methods, some small mercenary groups are slowly eliminated, and the powerful mercenary groups are made stronger. This is completely a
The process of big fish eating small fish.
Although the competition is a bit cruel, I think it may be the main thread of each other's survival. It seems that people who are prepared for the rainy day can be seen everywhere.
Wang Man shook his head in amusement, and made no further comments on the matter. He was just a passerby. The power of the Giant Peak Wolf Clan was not in Ionia City, so there was no need to go and fight with other people just to drag Lei.
The mercenary group was at odds with each other, and even though he had helped him a lot, they were still not familiar with each other, right? Being able to help him out with words was the limit of what Wang Man could do.
It seemed that Tuo Lei understood this matter very well and did not mention it any more. It was not easy for others to interfere with his own housework, so after leaving the village, he began to introduce the situation to Wang Man.
Already.
"There is indeed a ruin in the back mountain of this village!" Tuo Lei said: "I have been there several times before and escorted female elves who escaped from the front line. The threats there are mainly wild beasts, but the strength
It's all a bit worse, so it's okay to say that, but you should be aware that there is a monster called the Red-backed Viper near the ruins, which is highly venomous, very fast, and difficult to deal with."
"Is this why you asked me to bring the antidote?" Wang Man said with a smile.
"Yes!" Tuo Lei also laughed: "But this is just something to be prepared for. Aren't you just looking for the old hunter's daughter? There may not be any fight if you look for someone."
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the mountain behind the village and saw the so-called ruins.
It was a dilapidated temple. Countless trees and vines were entangled among the broken walls. The stones were covered with moss, but the style of the building could still be vaguely seen. It seemed to be one of the elves, dedicated to the gods.
The palace was abandoned because of its age. It was unknown how many years ago it was, so Wang Man and the others now saw that it was in ruins.
There are some scattered monsters in the ruins, but they are not many in number and they are quite messy.
Because the old hunter said that his daughter came to play in the ruins, this was a clue, and the scope of the search was roughly limited. Wang Man and Tuo Lei split up and started searching along the ruins of the ruins.
The ruins are actually not that big, but because the stone walls block the view, Wang Man and the others have to search separately. Otherwise, if they can see the whole ruins at a glance, would there be any need to look for people like this?
However, half an hour later, the two met again and spread their hands with each other. Neither of them saw the old hunter's daughter.
"Could it be that it's near the ruins?" Tuo Lei asked; "You can't find it here at all."
Wang Man thought for a moment and then replied: "It's impossible. If it's nearby, the range would be huge. It would be impossible to find it for a while. It should definitely be inside the ruins."
"But I can't find it anywhere!" Tuo Lei scratched his head.
"Is there any underground entrance to the ruins of this temple?" Wang Man asked.
"No!" Tuo Lei shook his head and added, "Members of our group have been here many times, but no one has ever heard of any underground entrance."
"Not necessarily!" Wang Man said with a smile: "Let's look carefully. If my guess is correct, it will definitely be down here."
Although Tuo Lei didn't give any hope, after hearing what Wang Man said, he still nodded and agreed to look for it together, so the two separated again.
Now that he thought there might be an underground entrance, Wang Man kept a close eye on it when he wandered around the ruins. Everywhere he went, he carefully inspected it, and finally he found a rather strange place.
It was a stone slab, located in the original main hall of the temple ruins. The stone slab had a slight gap, and Wang Man also noticed that the dust on the stone slab seemed to be less than other stone slabs.
After Wang Man called Tuo Lei over, he looked a little surprised when he saw the stone slab. He didn't expect Wang Man to be right. If the stone slab is removed and it becomes the underground entrance, it would make sense to them.
Why wasn't the old hunter's daughter found in the ruins?
"Could it be that the old hunter gave you such a clue when he gave you the mission?" Tuo Lei said doubtfully: "I have walked past this place before, but I have never noticed it."
"Who knows!" Wang Man smiled and said, "Why do you care so much? Just go down and find the person first."
After stepping forward and trying to move the stones, Wang Man saw a secret room appearing in front of him and said secretly: "Sure enough, this is the underground entrance to the temple."
After removing the stone slab, what was exposed was a dark cave entrance, with stone steps winding down one after another.
"This is a bit troublesome." Wang Man sighed and said, "I forgot to prepare the torch."
"Then why don't you go back and buy it?" Tuo Lei asked tentatively.
"I'm not going!" Wang Man shook his head and said: "It's been coming and going, time has been lost, let's just go on like this. Although it's a little dark, you just need to get used to it and you'll be fine!"
In the dark environment, Wang Man spoke, put his fingertips together, and ignited a small magic ball of light, and soon the secret room lit up.
Tuo Lei followed behind him. Since Wang Man was covering him, he wasn't too worried, so the two of them walked down the stone steps and disappeared into the ruins of the ruins.
