The hunters selected by Zhao Xi are level 18, level 17 and level 17 respectively. They have the highest level among all hunters and are naturally the strongest.
However, when it comes to melee combat ability, no one can match Groot, let alone Zhao Xi, who beat Groot to a pulp. The three of them looked at each other and no one dared to step forward.
Zhao Xi sneered: "Are you still afraid of three people? Then add two more, you, and you!"
He ordered two warriors again: "Five of you come together, as long as you defeat me, each of you will get 100 gold!"
Zhao Xi's arrogance finally angered the hunters and warriors. They thought that they were no match for Zhao Xi in a single fight, but if they dare not fight five against one, it would be a shame to be thrown into their grandma's house.
"Just hit!"
Two warriors pushed away the wine table and jumped out. One of the warriors roared and rushed towards Zhao Xi. He raised his fists and hit Zhao Xi's head hard, while the other three hunters immediately dispersed.
Come, surround Zhao Xi from different directions!
They have quite a lot of fighting experience. Although they are not the same team, they cooperate with each other very well and immediately surrounded Zhao Xi.
Seeing that Zhao Xi was in a bad situation, both Ye Qianqian and Ouyang Mu changed their expressions. The latter even tightened the staff in his hand, ready to help Zhao Xi at any time.
But Zhao Xi didn't give Ouyang Mu this chance at all. He used his flexible body skills to dodge the warrior's frontal attack, and swiped his right leg hard on the latter's knee.
Snap!
The soldier couldn't hold back his momentum, and his whole body suddenly lost balance and fell forward heavily to the ground.
Zhao Xi kept walking. He instantly approached the second fighter and punched him in the face.
The warrior's reaction was not slow. He immediately raised his arms to parry, but Zhao Xi suddenly retreated before his punch was completed, raised his right leg and kicked him hard on the lower abdomen, sending him flying straight away!
At this time, two hunters surrounded him. One of them, probably forgetting the rules, pulled out a dagger and stabbed Zhao Xi's neck from the side!
"Ah!" someone exclaimed.
From the corner of Zhao Xi's eye, he spotted the sneak attack from the hunter in time. He suddenly took half a step back, and the gleaming dagger almost grazed the tip of his nose.
Bang!
Zhao Xi punched the hunter who failed to attack with a powerful punch in the face. He then twisted around and kicked another hunter who was about to pounce, knocking the latter to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xi defeated four opponents!
Before the last hunter had time to get close to Zhao Xi, when he saw his companion struggling and writhing on the ground in pain, his face turned extremely pale, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "I surrender!"
Zhao Xiyan clenched his fist without saying anything and said in a deep voice: "Now, all six of you are my team members. Is there anyone who doesn't want to?"
No matter it was Groot or the two warriors and three hunters behind him, they all had nothing to say after losing. The guys lying on the ground all nodded dejectedly.
System prompt: You have successfully recruited level 18 warrior Groot to join the team!
System prompt: You have successfully recruited level 18 hunter Saya to join the team!
System prompt: You have successfully recruited level 17 warrior Aiwen to join the team!
…
The same system prompt appeared six times in a row!
A new column appeared in the team information column of Zhao Xi's system vision - mercenaries. The six newly recruited NPCs were all listed on it. And the corresponding attributes, HP, equipment, and skill information were displayed.
This gave Zhao Xi a very intuitive understanding of the abilities of the six mercenaries, including their loyalty.
Groot's loyalty is 75, and the other five are all 70. System evaluation: They are willing to obey their employer's orders and fight, but when faced with death and an invincible opponent, they will choose to run away!
The three soldiers and three hunters all climbed up, and they stood beside Zhao Xi silently. Although their expressions were still a bit unruly, they looked at Zhao Xi with a hint of awe in their eyes.
Everyone else in the tavern looked at them, and no one laughed or scorned them, because everyone saw how Zhao Xi knocked them to the ground with his fists and kicks, without any conspiracy or despicable tricks.
People with strength are respected everywhere!
But Zhao Xi was not very satisfied because he felt that such loyalty was not high enough.
While putting on his equipment again, he said: "Although you lost to me, I will not let your efforts go in vain. I will pay you two gold coins a day!"
The six people looked at each other, and Groot immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, sir!"
System prompt: Groot’s loyalty +10!
The other five mercenaries also saluted and thanked them, and their loyalty also increased!
System evaluation: They are willing to follow their employer's orders to fight, and will only give up if they are seriously injured!
There is indeed a big gap between the loyalty of 80 and the loyalty of 70!
Zhao Xi nodded with satisfaction and said to the others in the tavern: "I am here under orders, not to pursue fame and profit, but to save Chenxi Town from the threats of vampires and shadow wolves!"
"Now I still have four recruitment quotas. Which of you is willing to follow me and bravely defend your homeland instead of sitting here drinking like a loser?"
His roar echoed in everyone's ears, and many people immediately stood up.
"I!"
"I do!"
"Lord Knight, I am willing to serve you!"
Seeing such a scene, Ouyang Mu, who was sitting in front of the bar, finally felt relieved, while Ye Qianqian's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange look, staring at Zhao Xi intently, not knowing what was going on in her heart.
There were many warriors willing to join the team, and Zhao Xi selected one of the highest-level warriors and three archers, bringing the number of mercenary teams to ten.
However, the loyalty of the players recruited after the fourth group is lower than that of the first six.
Zhao Xi doesn't care about this, because he has already mastered the method of improving loyalty.
Zhao Xi, Ye Qianqian, and Ouyang Mu left the tavern with ten newly recruited mercenaries.
On the way back to the mayor's house, Ye Qianqian suddenly asked: "Brother Daniu, you can complete this task by yourself, why do you have to drag me and Mu Mu?"
Zhao Xi stopped and glanced at her, then said to Ouyang Mu: "Mu Mu, you lead the team back to the mayor's house first. I have something to say to Qianqian."
Ouyang Mu was stunned for a moment, but whatever questions he had, he kept them in his mind, so he nodded silently.
After Ouyang Mu led the team to leave, Zhao Xi stared at the uneasy Ye Qianqian and said: "Miss Qianqian, I don't care what your purpose is for joining our team, but since you have become a member of the team, you must first maintain
The interests of the team, and secondly, you must obey my command!"
"If you can't do any of these two points, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. It will be good for you and me!"
Ye Qianqian said "hmm" and lowered her head in grievance. Her eyes were full of tears. She seemed to be frightened by Zhao Xi's severity. Her pitiful appearance was completely without the heroism of a paladin, which made people look at her.
Feeling distressed.
Zhao Xi shook his head and said: "Miss Qianqian, there is no one else here. You don't have to pretend to be pitiful. Sister, Fang Xu and the Ye family brothers may be offended by your tricks, but it's useless to me."
Ye Qianqian raised her head and blinked, looking at Zhao Xi with an expression like looking at the devil boss.
Zhao Xi said nothing and looked at her, his eyes calm and collected.
After a while, Ye Qianqian forced a smile: "Brother Danniu, you are too serious. In fact, I am really just here to have fun. I like Sister Meimei very much and will not do anything detrimental to the team."
Zhao Xi said calmly: "That's best, remember what you just said!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and left, striding to catch up with the team in front.
Seeing Zhao Xi's retreating back, Ye Qianqian stamped her feet bitterly, pulled out her sword and slashed the air several times where Zhao Xi was standing, as if not doing so was not enough to vent her anger.
However, the elf female knight quickly stopped moving, her dark eyes rolled, and a charming smile suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she murmured to herself: "It's getting more and more interesting, Zhao Daniu, hum!"
