"What?" Yue Jinghua was surprised, "Where did you get the news? But is it true? Who are the people who died?"
If Yue Jinghua really established a relationship with anyone in this strange continent, apart from a few people from Jingxinyuan, it was a few mercenaries from the Backfire Mercenary Group.
Especially Ni Qianjun and Feng Buhui, who had experienced life and death with her, she regarded them as true friends.
Several mercenaries from the Backfire Mercenary Group died? Could it be that they also...
Mercenaries have been wandering on the edge of blood and death all year round, but as one of the famous mercenary groups in the mainland, Backfire has killed several mercenaries without any major tasks. This is undoubtedly a big deal.
"Are you worried about that red-haired boy?" Seeing Yue Jinghua's face change slightly because of his emotion, Xie Yu was quite disgusted. He forced out a few words through his teeth, "Don't worry, that boy is not dead.
Those who died were several old mercenaries from Backfire. Those mercenaries were completing two different tasks. One of the groups was going to remove them from the Dan Demon Tomb.
The crystals obtained were delivered to the client. The other group was said to be handing over the devil crystals distributed as souvenirs to the families of the mercenaries who died in the mission. The reason why the Assassin League pays attention to this
The thing is because their way of death is very special, they are all fatal with one move, and all their wounds are from..."
Xie Yu used his finger, placed it on his throat, and slid it down to his belly button. "Those mercenaries with Earth Xuan cultivation base were killed with almost no power to fight back. The devil crystal they carried was also
It’s all gone.”
The devil crystal, it was actually the devil crystal she sent out that killed them.
There was a soreness in her throat, and Yue Jinghua paused, "Do you think this kind of crystal is really possessed by the devil and will bring bad luck to people?"
"I don't believe it, but I'm sure that this crystal represents some kind of danger. If it's not necessary, don't let anyone know that you own this crystal. A man is not guilty of his own crime. This principle is true on the Canglong Road where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong.
, is the iron rule." Xieyu accepted the crystal. Atta looked at Yue Jinghua meaningfully, turned and left.
Yue Jinghua fell into deep thought.
Xieyu's words just now reminded her that the value of the Devil's Crystal will play different roles in the hands of different people. But since someone is willing to search for this kind of crystal at the cost of a blue diamond mission, this has undoubtedly been proved
The preciousness of this crystal.
But she gave the crystal away rashly.
Alchemy Demon had said at the beginning that the crystal was of unknown origin and was given to him by a stranger.
After a while, she wrote a letter and then sent Hong Ling to an unknown village in the Long Warring States Period, Fenglinwan Town.
Ni Qianjun has good cultivation and is backed by the Backfire Mercenary Group, so he shouldn't have trouble easily. But Feng Buhui, who left the Backfire Mercenary Group, obviously does not have this condition.
Although his crystal had been given to the mercenary group as a replacement for that mission, Yue Jinghua didn't know whether he would be killed because of it.
I hope Feng Buhui will be fine, Yue Jinghua thought secretly in her heart.
Unfortunately, things in the world cannot go as planned. Shortly after Yue Jinghua sent that letter, the breath of death was approaching the small town of Fenglinwan step by step.
Fenglinwan is an ordinary town on the border of Longzhan Empire. Around it, there is a kind of tree called Fenglinwan planted all over. The leaves of this tree are like maple leaves, but in autumn, they don’t look like maple leaves.
The maple leaves turn red until around the beginning of winter, and the leaves gradually turn red. Therefore, this kind of tree is called a late tree in the maple forest.
Like many small towns in the Long and Warring States Period, the town is small in size, with only more than 200 households in the town.
Because it is close to several mountains and depends on the mountains, most of the residents in the town make a living by logging and hunting.
Feng Buhui's hometown is located on the outskirts of the town. He has been living in the town since he left the Backfire Mercenary Group and said goodbye to Yue Jinghua.
Feng Bugui didn't regret not being a mercenary, and nothing made him happier than his mother and younger brother.
He is the eldest son in the family. His father died when he was a teenager. In order to support the family and to calm the ever-lasting passion in his chest, Feng Buhui followed a man who happened to pass by when he was thirteen years old.
An old mercenary from the small town joined the Backfire Mercenary Group.
Eight years of mercenary career allowed him to grow from a young boy into an upright and good man.
Although he went through the painful experience of Dan Demon Tomb and lost his right arm, Feng Buhui did not continue to commit suicide after returning to the small town. He gave all the gold coins he received from quitting the group to his mother.
, and took down a blacksmith shop left by his father.
His right hand was broken, but his left hand could still be used. In just one month, Feng Buhui learned how to carry a hammer with his left hand, and forged some hoes, pear tools, and hunters' bows and arrows for the villagers.
.
Whenever he encountered a hunter coming to get his bow and arrows, Feng Buhui would be stunned for a while. Then, when he returned home, he would sit in front of his bed, take out the crossbow that Yue Jinghua had improved for him, and rub it in his hand.
It lasted for quite a while.
On this day, as usual, he was driving a plow for spring plowing.
Old Li Tou, a neighbor who came to work as a policeman in the town, came over and said, "No regrets, I have your letter."
In a small town like Fenglinwan, there is no inn, so all letters are sent to the government office in the city.
What made Feng Buhui curious was who wrote him the letter.
After he left the Nihuo mercenary group, he did not tell anyone where he was going, except for Yue Jinghua and Nihuo.
After reading the letter, Feng Buhui's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition enveloped him.
He immediately stopped what he was doing, informed Old Li Tou, and walked home.
After walking a few steps, he saw his little brother running over, and when he saw him, he smiled: "Brother Buhui, there are guests at home, and a red-haired big brother is here to see you.
Already."
Red hair? Could it be that Ni Qianjun is back? Feng Buhui felt a little more at ease, and he hurried home.
After entering his small courtyard, he saw a tall and burly figure standing in his courtyard, with red hair flaring like flames.
The man turned around, Feng Buhui was surprised, "Captain!"
"No regrets, how come you don't recognize me as the leader as soon as you leave Nihuo? I haven't seen you for many days, and I happened to pass by Fenglin Wan Town. I heard that you are from this town, so I came to see you.
Look, the environment here is good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, it’s a good place.” The person who came was surprisingly the leader of the Nihuo mercenary group, Nihuo.
Nihuo said as he took the tea from Feng Buhui's mother.
As soon as I heard that the leader of a famous mercenary group in mainland China had come to the town in person, the adults and children in the town gathered around him.
Feng Buhui's home was immediately surrounded by people.
Feng Bugui didn't expect that the group leader would come to his door in person. Remembering the letter Yue Jinghua brought slightly, Feng Buhui had already guessed the group leader's intention.
"Captain, are you here because of the Devil's Crystal?" Feng Buhui knew Nihuo well. He would never come to the door in person for a useless old subordinate, not to mention that he was on the Fire Dragon Sail and had disobeyed him for Master Yue.
exceed his wishes.
"Haha, I just came here because of the crystal thing. To tell you the truth, several of our brothers had accidents a few days ago, all related to crystals. I heard from Qianjun that you got those crystals from others.
Come on, tell me, who gave you these crystals?" Nihuo laughed loudly, then looked at the people inside and outside the room, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Feng Buhui felt a thump in his heart.
He stood up silently, walked into the house, took out an iron box, and whispered: "Captain, those crystals were indeed sent by me. As for who gave them to me," he walked out of the house.
After looking at it, as if he had made a difficult decision, he said, "There are too many people talking here, so it's not convenient to talk. Let's talk outside."
Nihuo didn't take it seriously, stood up, and followed Feng Buhui out of the house.
Before leaving, Feng Buhui's little brother called a few times behind him, "Brother Buhui, I asked you to come back early. It's almost time to eat. We have your favorite salted chicken tonight."
"Hey," Feng Buhui replied without looking back, and walked forward with Nihuo.
The two of them walked without saying a word until they passed through the maple forest outside the town.
Only then did Chi Huo call out to Feng Buhui, "Buhui, if we go any further, we will go to the mountains. There will be no one around here anymore. It's time you told me, where did you get the devil crystal?"
"Okay, I'll tell you right now," Feng Buhui's voice seemed a little obscure. He turned around suddenly, and the crossbow in his hand was loaded at some point, and he aimed it at Backfire.
His left hand, which had not used a crossbow for a long time, was still trembling slightly. But soon, he calmed down. In the woods, a gust of evening wind blew by. Feng Buhui used his left hand to use the crossbow. The crossbow improved by Yue Jinghua was very good.
It's convenient.
Nihuo didn't seem too surprised when Feng Buhui suddenly turned against him. He smiled and said, "Buhui, what are you doing?"
"Stop pretending, you are not the leader," Feng Buhui stood up and began to move, looking for the best shooting point. "I have never told the leader about my hometown. Qianjun will never tell you.
, the Devil’s Crystal was given to him by me.”
In fact, in order to protect Yue Jinghua, Ni Qianjun, before going out for the trial, Qian Ding and Wan told Feng Buhui to have a unified voice with the outside world. Even in front of the group leader, he had to insist that the crystal was Ni Qianjun.
Retrieved.
Moreover, although the regiment leader he knew was a bit strict, he would never tell the news of the death of other mercenaries in the regiment with a smile.
"Haha, it seems that the Backfire Mercenary Group is quite famous. You are the fastest among these mercenaries to figure out my identity. The others, even before they died, thought they were killed by their companions.
"Yes," there was a burst of terrible dry laughter, and the man who was almost exactly the same as Nihuo's figure changed drastically, and his clothes were torn open.
