The temple in front collapsed suddenly, the bird of paradise in the sky turned into a ghost, the white jade fountain sprayed blood, and the ivory pillars were all made of human and animal bones.
The temple turned into a hell, a deep whirlpool constantly swallowing the caravans and mercenaries. The golden gravel was like countless ghost hands of hell.
Wailing and screaming, that is purgatory on earth.
"What the hell, I want to get out of here." Zach seemed to see the truth of his parents' death clearly. He moved with difficulty, trying to leave the death vortex.
But his feet seemed to be stuck in the sand, making it difficult to move.
That vortex keeps getting closer.
Cold sweat dripped on the sand and was evaporated in an instant.
The big sword was what saved him just now. Zach's heart moved and he grabbed the big sword with his backhand.
"Ah", Zach screamed, and the sword seemed to melt, giving off a stinging temperature.
The hot sword was filled with evil energy, and it rolled down into Zach's hand like mud.
The turbid evil energy seemed to be alive, crawling from the blade of the sword to Zach's hand. Wherever the lines crawled, Zach felt as if flames had burned through him. His skin fell off, and his flesh and blood were dried and burned.
, heartbreaking pain.
He wanted to break free from the big sword, but his hand was already stuck to the sword, and it was useless no matter how hard he struggled.
The sword was absorbing his flesh, blood and profound energy. He would die, he would die here. Zach was desperate.
A heavy dry howl came from his throat.
"Zach," Zach heard the familiar voice, the girl's clear voice was like a sounding arrow passing through the air, coming from far behind.
"God, if this is a dream, then let this dream never wake up, so that I can see her again before I die," Zach said with a smile on his lips.
Yue Jinghua looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. The caravan and mercenaries all disappeared.
Zach's body was falling into the whirlpool, and the weird sword was attached to his body, constantly devouring his blood essence.
Ahead is a huge whirlpool. The whirlpool is constantly expanding, as if it has legs and is constantly moving.
The front is very dangerous.
Yue Jinghua did not hesitate, and the "soft fingers" on her hand wrapped around Zach's arm like a snake, and in response, she cut off Zach's arm, and also cut off the big sword that was stuck to Zach's hand.
"Zach, hold on," Yue Jinghua helped Zach up and tried to stop his bleeding.
Zach's severed arm was like a burnt piece of wood. There was no blood inside, and even the bones and flesh had been turned black. Not only his hand, but also the veins of his body were severely damaged.
Nothing, as if it had been drained away.
There were ugly burn marks on Zach's arm, which looked familiar to Yue Jinghua.
She unconsciously touched the right side of her face with her fingers, feeling a strange and unfamiliar feeling.
"Demon pattern," is a demon pattern. It is somewhat similar to the pattern on Yue Jinghua's face.
Yue Jinghua was immersed in the surprise of discovering the demon pattern. She did not notice that not far away, the big sword that fell to the ground floated silently in mid-air after falling into the sand and gravel.
The lines on the sword body, which have absorbed enough blood, are like the rising tide of the sea. The lines are surging one after another.
From its sword, the black mud-ball-shaped evil spirit was like clouds, densely covered and emitted.
It silently approached Yue Jinghua, who was in deep thought.
"Danger," Yue Jinghua's body was suddenly turned around. At the last moment, Zach, who was already dying, held her in his arms and pressed her under him.
His body shook violently, and his eyes were fixed on Yue Jinghua's face.
The sword sank into his chest, and the wet and warm liquid dyed Yue Jinghua's face red.
Zach's thin shoulders moved, but he couldn't feel the pain. In his eyes, there was only a surprised face.
After using up his last breath, Zach raised his hand and lightly touched Yue Jinghua's face with his dark fingers.
There was a smile on his lips, a little shy and a little relieved, "Have I ever told you, you are beautiful."
His hands slowly dropped and his eyes closed peacefully.
Goodbye, the mercenary king in my heart, Zach cannot be by your side. I will turn into a dust at your feet and protect you together with the stars in the sky until forever.
"Zach." Yue Jinghua called out softly. There was a heat in his eyes that could not be controlled.
Zach's body was suddenly pierced. The strange demon sword glowed white and roared towards Yue Jinghua.
It comes so fast, many times faster than a loaded bullet.
Endless anger and sorrow swept over Yue Jinghua, who could not escape at all. Just when the sword was only a few steps away from Yue Jinghua, a surprising scene happened.
Yue Jinghua's eyes were bloodthirsty, and on that ugly and terrifying face, the demonic patterns that had been silent for a long time were like a quietly blooming demonic flower. She stared at the sword with a bloodthirsty smile on her lips.
Just as the sword was about to pass through Yue Jinghua's chest, it was suddenly held by Yue Jinghua.
The demonic patterns, the strange patterns on the sword, and the demonic patterns on the face emitted thousands of rays of light. The sword kept struggling, trying to escape from Yue Jinghua's hand.
"I want to escape," Yue Jinghua said coldly, kneeling down suddenly on one knee and inserting the sword into the gravel. The nine-turn creation force in her body kept accumulating on the sword body.
"Boom", the sand wind blew violently, and the sand whirlpool in the distance became still.
The sharp sword chant changed, turned into a whimper, and finally became muted.
Finally, the big sword gradually became still and became an ordinary broken sword again.
However, the rust on its surface has disappeared. Ancient sword patterns like the vines of an old tree cover the sword body, which looks even more aged. On the hilt of the sword, the word "Lian Yun" is engraved.
The whirlpool in front also disappeared, as if she had experienced a nightmare. Only Zack's body lay on the ground, reminding Yue Jinghua that she had lost a good comrade just now.
Looking at Zac's body, Yue Jinghua closed her eyes sadly, her murmur mixed with the wind, "Zach, I will take good care of Zaria for you, you can go in peace."
A month has passed.
The mercenaries of the Backfire Mercenary Group stationed outside Poluo City have prepared everything.
Li Huaxue from the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group also lobbied several times to start the trip early.
Ni Qianjun has been evading it for various reasons.
The mercenaries in the regiment were increasingly dissatisfied.
Ni Qianjun's temper has also become a bit irritable. Indeed, several days have passed since the month he and Yue Jinghua agreed to.
The news coming from the small town of Sabah was that about ten days ago, there was news that the mercenary team that was escorting the business brigade was completely wiped out.
Ni Qianjun began to feel uneasy, he was worried that Yue Jinghua was in that team.
After all, to become a two-star mercenary within a month, it means that Yue Jinghua must take on as many missions as possible.
On the thirty-seventh day after Yue Jinghua left, a letter came from Ni Huo, the leader of the Ni Huo mercenary group, forcing De Feng to make the final decision.
"Tomorrow, if Yue Jinghua doesn't come back tomorrow, I will go to Sabah town in person," Ni Qianjun made a decision regardless of the objections of the mercenaries in the regiment.
But his decision soon had to be abandoned.
On the afternoon of that day, Ni Huo, the leader of the mercenary group who vaguely learned about the new alchemist from the old mercenary, sent the password. He had already found a new alchemist for the mercenary group. As long as it was
When the new alchemist arrives, the mercenary group will immediately start this mission.
Ni Qianjun faced a dilemma. On the one hand, he had to abide by his elder brother's decision, but on the other hand, he was worried about Yue Jinghua.
Soon, the alchemist mentioned by the leader of the Backfire Mercenary Group arrived at the headquarters of the Backfire Mercenary Group. After meeting the visitor, the members of the mercenary group were even more satisfied.
The alchemist who came here cannot be treated lightly even by Ni Qianjun, because she is not only an intermediate alchemist recognized by Alchemy House, but at the same time, her other identity is also well-known among the mercenaries.
"Mrs. Yao can take on the role of Alchemist of the Backfire Mercenary Group despite her busy schedule. Ni Qianjun is really flattered." If it had been before, he could have gotten the help of a celebrity like Mrs. Yao, Ni Qianjun Bing would have been
Will be very happy.
But this time, since he deliberately invited Yue Jinghua, the appearance of Mrs. Yao, to Ni Qianjun, was undoubtedly a dog meddling in other people's business, and he wished he could drive Mrs. Yao out.
"Deputy Captain Ni Qianjun, you are so polite. I have a personal relationship with Captain Nihuo. He has provided a lot of help to me, so it is appropriate for me to come. But I heard that Deputy Captain Ni Qianjun had earlier
We also invited another alchemist. I heard that she can refine elixirs that are rare in the world?" Mrs. Yao came here this time, one of the reasons was for the favor of Captain Nihuo, but the other reason was to hear that she
He talked about some rumors about the Backfire Mercenary Group.
The Backfire Mercenary Group originally purchased a large amount of elixirs from the market every time before going on a mission, many of which were Zhenxuan elixirs. However, this time, they sent an elite team to complete the mission, but strangely they did not do so.
First purchase at the store.
Mrs. Yao was so smart that she used a Jade Dew Pill to get through the beauty-loving Li Huaxue, and got some information from there.
Ni Qianjun saw the flash of calculation in Mrs. Yao's eyes, and he said calmly, "Mrs. Yao is really worrying too much. There is no one else in the Polo area who can match Madam's alchemy skills. That famous elixir
How can the master refine any elixir? She is just an ordinary alchemist who treats superficial injuries."
What a Ni Qianjun, do you think that this lady would believe your endless lies, that a mercenary group like Ni Qianjun would hire an ordinary third-rate alchemist?
In fact, ever since the incident at Luo Guo's uncle's house, when the two sisters Xiaochu and Xiaoya died and the other disappeared, Jinchang has suffered from bad luck.
First, there was an investigation into the poisoning of the imperial uncle's palace guard, and then in Poluo City, high-quality and cheap elixirs began to appear.
Mrs. Yao initially thought that Liejiabao was responsible for this incident, but as time went by, she discovered that the medicines on the market could not be refined by Liejiabao's alchemists.
Therefore, she quickly targeted the mysterious masked Rakshasa girl who had been to the dimple field.
What is suspicious is that after Xiaoya disappeared, the Rakshasa girl never supplied goods to the market again.
Before that, the woman had asked about the mysterious beast's ancient eggs.
Based on the above, Mrs. Yao quickly found a connection between these people. So, this time, after receiving the invitation from Captain Backfire, she readily agreed.
"In this case, Deputy Commander Ni Qianjun doesn't have to wait any longer. We can set off soon," Mrs. Yao had already sent people to monitor every move nearby. As long as Ni Qianjun takes people away, that Dan
As soon as the teacher returns to his station, Mrs. Yao's people will stop him.
"This," Ni Qianjun was still hesitating.
"Deputy Captain, we can't delay any longer. If we delay beyond the time limit, we will be disqualified from participating in this mission," Feng Buhui kept persuading.
"Deputy Captain, if we miss this time, our mercenary achievements this year will fall behind, and the draw of the annual mercenary conference will also be affected," Manzi's group of old mercenaries also tried to persuade them. Mercenary glory is very important.
important.
"Deputy leader, here we come, here we come," Abu, the lookout, ran into the meeting tent out of breath.
"What are you shouting about? I didn't see everyone discussing something," Feng Buhui glared at him.
"Here we come!" Abu climbed up the tree as usual, but he saw a figure in the distance.
"Don't be so secretive, kid. Who's coming?" everyone said in unison.
"That new person, I mean the alchemist, is back," Abu said calmly.
