Mercenaries are cannon fodder found by major forces.
This is what Mu Feng summarized, and it is very appropriate.
Mercenaries risk their lives in exchange for rewards.
And the major forces can reduce their casualties, and everyone is happy.
Moreover, the number of casual cultivators is actually very large, even more than all other sects combined.
There are many monks who are unable to enter a sect due to old age, insufficient qualifications, etc., or who do not enter a sect due to personal dislike of restraint or other reasons.
In terms of strength, most of them are definitely far inferior to the elite disciples of those sects. They even have no one to guide them in their cultivation and can only fumble forward.
Therefore, their thirst for cultivation resources is many times higher than that of ordinary monks.
Perhaps it is also because they are accustomed to this kind of life of licking blood from the tip of a knife, so they are willing to exchange their lives for training resources, and are even willing to do such a dangerous job as mercenaries.
You must know that someone once calculated that the mortality rate of mercenaries is more than 50%! But this is also the only way they have no choice. They slowly accumulate cultivation resources. It is too slow for them. They want to survive.
You must become stronger! Of course, not all mercenary missions are so dangerous, it’s just that dangerous missions have higher commissions.
Mu Feng couldn't help but frowned when he knew the situation they were going to face next.
He came here to look for Yunni, not to fight for the city lord's mansion.
So he already had the idea of leaving at this time.
Li Xuefeng came to his side at this time and said with a smile: "Brother, do you want to leave here?
I advise you not to act rashly, those two white-armored soldiers are staring at us."
"Moreover, the map in the hands of the white-armored soldiers can allow us to go deeper."
Mu Feng couldn't help but frown. Although this Li Xuefeng was not very strong, he was very smart.
The purpose of his coming here may not be simple.
He just wanted to use the road map in the hands of the white-armored soldiers to help them go further.
After all, it would be very dangerous to move forward in the mire under the clouds without a road map.
In addition to the man-eating swamps, there are also a large number of gods and demons living here.
There are even some places where there is unexpected power.
Mu Feng thought for a while and decided to follow the white-armored soldiers deeper.
After all, Yunni can't be on the outskirts of Yunxia Mire, otherwise no one would have found it.
He was actually very concerned about the legend Li Xuefeng told.
Perhaps this legend can be used as a reference.
He could feel that when Li Xuefeng said this, he did not treat it as a legend.
Looking for a big tree that can shine in the moonlight is easier than simply looking for cloud mud.
But his understanding of Yunxia Mire is really not deep. If there is someone who can cooperate... He turned to look at Li Xuefeng and asked: "When are you going to leave?"
He did not ask Li Xuefeng "if he wanted to leave", but directly asked when he would leave. This would make Li Xuefeng feel that he knew everything.
Sure enough, Li Xuefeng's face looked a little unnatural, but he still whispered: "It depends on the situation. If I am the only one who dies, of course I have to leave quickly."
Sure enough, this Li Xuefeng is no longer a simple mercenary. He came to Yunxia Mire with the same purpose as Mu Feng! He just didn't know what Li Xuefeng was looking for.
Mu Feng suddenly had an intuition at this moment, that is, what he was looking for might be the same as Li Xuefeng... "Let's cooperate!"
The two said it in unison, but then looked at each other and smiled.
They actually thought of going together.
In this way, at least they are both smart people and have some tacit understanding.
Mu Feng asked curiously at this moment: "Why do you want to cooperate with me? I am obviously the weakest among these people."
But Li Xuefeng smiled and shook his head and said: "You can lie to people, but your eyes can't.
When you faced Li Longxiang, the calmness in your eyes was not fake, it was because you didn't take Li Longxiang seriously at all."
"So, you are not as simple as you seem. I trust my judgment."
"If you make a wrong judgment, you may lose your life."
Mu Feng said calmly.
"Then it's my own fault."
Li Xuefeng said with a smile.
The two people have formed an alliance at this moment, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.
For Mu Feng, he had a helper who was at the first level of the reincarnation realm for the time being.
The mercenary camp was not quiet. The mercenaries headed by Li Longxiang were chatting and joking. They lived a life of licking blood every day, so they did not hide their personalities.
The two white-armored soldiers sat aside and did not mix in with the mercenaries.
The man named Han Ji'an glanced at everyone from time to time, with a little cold light in his eyes, and seemed to be hostile to the mercenaries present.
Mu Feng and Li Xuefeng were separated from the others. They were sitting together, practicing with their eyes closed.
Among all the people, they are the only two who can continue to practice.
In a blink of an eye, three hours passed and it was midnight.
The two white-armored soldiers seemed to have chosen this time to set off.
"Let's go, I can tell you what is outside this resource point."
Han Ji'an stood up and said, "Outside this resource point is the Cloud Teng Lizard."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward.
The other mercenaries looked like they suddenly realized it, but Mu Feng was the only one who was a little confused.
Without waiting to ask, Li Xuefeng explained in a low voice: "The Yun Teng Lizard is a unique god and demon in the mire under the cloud. It is extremely fast and lives in groups.
The most important thing is that they like light, so in the dark, they hide in the mud."
"As long as you are careful, you won't disturb them!"
Mu Feng suddenly realized at this moment that no wonder Han Ji'an had to wait until midnight to take action. It turned out to be because of this.
The group of them walked lightly and soon arrived in front of a huge rock.
It is not accurate to say that it is a boulder. It is just an underground mountain protruding from the ground. It is not high, but it is very large. It is in the shape of a crescent moon with a large sunken open space in the middle.
Here is the first resource point of the City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Feng started from entering Yunxia Mire and walked all the way here, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
After entering here, if you don't know the correct route, it is basically impossible to find it.
Han Ji'an waved his hand, causing everyone behind him to stop.
He turned around and said to everyone: "There is a cave under this mountain range. Once you hide in it, the Cloud Teng Lizard will not attack."
"If you want to enter the cave, there is only one way that will not disturb the Cloud Teng Lizard, so we are divided into three groups now. Li Longxiang, you take two people in a group.
Qingshu, please bring three people with us.
Li Xuefeng, you also bring two people to the end!"
Qingshu is another first-level monk in the reincarnation realm among the mercenaries.
There are only three reincarnation-level mercenaries among the mercenaries, so there is nothing inappropriate about letting them lead three groups.
But everyone else rushed to Li Longxiang and Qingshu's side, and no one wanted to be in the same group as Li Xuefeng.
Only Mu Feng was still standing beside Li Xuefeng at this time.
Seeing this, Han Ji'an couldn't help but shook his head: "Okay, then you two go together and set off!"
Li Xuefeng sighed, turned to Mu Feng and said, "It seems that the popularity between the two of us is really not good."
Mu Feng glanced at him and said calmly: "You are not popular, what does it have to do with me?"
Liu Xuefeng's eyes widened immediately: "..." If I hadn't been with you, I wouldn't be so unpopular, right? How dare I say such a thing?
Li Xuefeng was screaming in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything. After all, he still had to maintain his alliance with Mu Feng.
It seemed that he was at a disadvantage. After all, Mu Feng was just a monk at the seventh level of Nirvana.
But he always felt that if he could team up with Mu Feng, he would definitely make money! Li Longxiang started to head towards the mountains, and Han Ji'an pointed out the right path for him, which was actually just to open the way.
It is said that opening the road is the most dangerous, and Mu Feng and the two at the back are safer.
But unfortunately, some people are willing to open the way with Li Longxiang, but are not willing to stay at the end with Mu Feng and the others.
Not far from both sides of the path that enters the mountains, there is the Devouring Swamp. In the swamp, long mouths like crocodiles are exposed. These are the cloud lizards.
The size of the cloud lizard is probably larger than that of a large crocodile. After all, the long head alone looks quite large.
Because it was dark night, the Cloud Teng Lizard lived in the swamp, with only one head exposed, to prevent attacks from other gods and demons.
After all, the reason why Cloud Teng Lizards have this name is because their bodies seem to be able to soar like clouds and are not affected by the Devouring Swamp. They will not sink even if they live in the Devouring Swamp.
This is their special ability. In the mire under the cloud, many gods and demons are not affected by the swamp. Perhaps this is the so-called land and water and people.
Li Longxiang walked in the middle and asked others to stand in front and behind him, so that if he was attacked, there would be people in front and behind him to resist.
They moved lightly, fearing to disturb the dreams of these cloud lizards. After all, there were at least hundreds of cloud lizards here, and several of them were in the reincarnation realm.
If these Yun Teng Lizards were suddenly alerted, they would definitely suffer a loss during the battle, and it would not be surprising to even lose them all here.
Fortunately, the four of them passed the path without any danger, and then waved their hands behind to indicate that the road was safe.
The major forces in Cuihua Divine City generally have many resource points in Yunxia Mire. After all, they have been exploring here for a long time, so the resource points they search for each time are not necessarily certain.
The city lord's palace has not sent anyone to this resource point for a long time. Changes may occur on the originally safe road.
