In the forest, there are towering old trees, each forest tree looks lifeless, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are everywhere. The forest is thick with black fog, but the field of vision can barely be seen clearly.
Ling Tianyu and his group were walking in the forest. After going more than twenty miles deep into the area, Butcher and his group slowed down significantly. They all drew out their weapons and were alert at every step.
There are thirteen people in this group of mercenaries, and their strength is not bad. The leader, Butcher, has a cultivation level of the third level of the Holy Martial Arts. Five of the members have reached the level of Magic Realm, and the rest are all at the level of Martial Arts.
With their strength, there was no big problem walking around the outer reaches of the Northern Wilderness. But they kept rushing and did not hunt the monsters. They would go around as soon as they sensed a monster coming, so they didn't go very far.
.
While walking along the way, Ling Tianyu was always being rushed by Fei Lang and Huo Yun with their arms crossed, which made him feel comfortable. Because he was only thinking about how to gain the butcher's trust and unlock the soul chain for himself, but he didn't notice that Luo Tianyu
The vulture at the end has been doing some tricks secretly.
Sudden!
The butcher waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.
"Brother! What's wrong?" someone asked.
"Night is coming, and I feel that the road ahead is not very peaceful. Let's rest where we are, and we can continue our journey tomorrow morning," the butcher said.
"Then what if people from the Bai family catch up?" another person asked.
"Don't worry, we've been walking around in circles all the way. We're more than twenty miles away from the Bai family mine. And the area is so wide, it's not easy for them to find us. And even if they can find us,
, as long as the elders of the Bai family don't take action, they can't do anything to us." The butcher said.
After a pause, the butcher said to the three of them again: "Vulture! Liu Dao! Zhan Hen! You go and look around first, and come back immediately if there is any movement! Others rest where they are!"
"Yes!~
The vultures and the others responded and scurried into the forest very efficiently. However, they did not notice that when the vultures left, whether intentionally or not, they gave Ling Tianyu a sinister look.
Ling Tianyu frowned and naturally noticed that he had made many enemies over the years, which also allowed Ling Tianyu to accumulate rich experience in reading people. He felt that this vulture was petty and could easily hold grudges, and he could feel it in the vulture's eyes.
I feel a sense of resentment, which not only includes myself, but may also involve certain people.
However, Ling Tianyu still doesn't know much about this blood-slaying mercenary group, and he hasn't gained their trust yet. So even if Ling Tianyu has doubts about Vulture's abnormality, he doesn't dare to say anything.
Soon!
The butcher and his group sat down in the air space filled with fallen leaves, then raised the fire, took out the meat that had been hunted in advance, and began to roast it deliciously.
There were jugs of strong liquor.
As mercenaries, they have lived in a cruel environment all year round, and they have become accustomed to this kind of life.
However, this kind of life is also what Ling Tianyu likes, because this is a man's life.
At this time!
The butcher walked towards Ling Tianyu, holding the wine bottle in his hand, and took a swig. Then he handed it to Ling Tianyu and said with a smile: "Haha, brother Yufeng, do you want a sip?"
"Thank you, brother." Ling Tianyu accepted it politely, because drinking is the easiest way for men to communicate, so he took a big sip, and then said with a hearty smile: "Haha! This wine is strong enough.
, it feels much better than those so-called fine wines.”
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. After listening to Ling Tianyu's words, they felt as if they had drunk a lot of fine wine. Isn't this the humblest miner who escaped from the Bai family mine?
But Butcher doesn’t think so. Being able to set up a mercenary group and achieve such a level of cultivation is definitely a must. It feels like Ling Tianyu’s words and deeds, especially his bloody nature, are unusual.
He couldn't help but sit in front of Ling Tianyu and asked with a smile: "Haha, I don't think this little brother is an ordinary person. How can he be trapped in the Bai family mine?"
Ling Tianyu secretly smiled. He had been waiting for the butcher to ask this question for a long time. After all, the butcher was worried about whether Ling Tianyu would get involved with any forces in Dongzhou. If he told the truth, it would be easier to gain the trust of the butcher and the others, so he looked serious.
He replied: "Brother, to be honest, I am a warrior from Xizhou. I just ran into some trouble when I came here, and then I entered the Bai family's mine in a daze."
"Xizhou!"
The butcher was greatly surprised, and so were everyone.
As early as a few years ago, the east and west states were isolated. A warrior who could pass from the west state to the east state definitely had unparalleled strength.
The butcher looked at Ling Tianyu closely. He really couldn't tell that Ling Tianyu was lying, so he patted Ling Tianyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Haha! I knew that the little brother was by no means an ordinary person! I guess the little brother is in Xizhou.
Is it going to be great?"
"Brother is joking. I am just a hermit warrior in Xizhou. Recently, I feel that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so I have the idea of going to Dongzhou to practice. I just didn't expect that I would be so unlucky and fall to this level. I almost got sent away.
I'm dead." Ling Tianyu sighed bitterly, this mood was definitely not fake, it was indeed too tragic.
"Hermit martial artist?" The Butcher thought, if that's the case, Ling Tianyu wouldn't have any relatives or friends here, or would be involved in any forces, so he would be the easiest to integrate into his own mercenary group, so he smiled and said: "Haha
, Little brother, don’t worry, as long as you join our blood-slaying mercenary group now, no one can hurt you. When we get to a safe place tomorrow, I will find a way to help you remove this thing from your body.
"
"Really? Thank you so much, brother!" Ling Tianyu was so excited that he suddenly remembered and asked again: "By the way, brother, I first arrived in Dongzhou and I don't know anything about this place. I want to know where we are now.
"
"This is the Northern Wilderness." The butcher smiled, took out a dagger, drew a large oval on the ground, moved a little to the right of the oval, and said, "We are here now, and beyond that is
The territory controlled by the Bai family, so it is the safest to go to Bailuo Valley from here, but we definitely can’t go back, we can only take this road!”
Talking!
The butcher held a dagger and drew a curved line from this point to the middle arc of the oval, and said: "We came in along this line before, and it was relatively safe along the way. After we go out from here, we will approach
Xuantian City. Xuantian City is guarded by the Lin family’s army. As long as we get there, we will be absolutely safe.”
"Lin family!" Ling Tianyu looked startled.
"Haha, I don't know, right? The Lin family is said to have inherited the bloodline of ancient mythical beasts, and the Lin family's army under their command is even more brave and good at fighting. As long as they are warriors who come out of the Lin family's military camp, they are all real warriors!" said the butcher, with a look on his face.
With reverence, it is enough to prove the importance of the Lin family.
When Ling Tianyu heard this, his blood was boiling. He wanted to rush back to the Lin family. After all, he had relatives there. But he was curious in his heart. He pointed to the left side of the oval and asked, "Then where is this place?"
"It's a restricted area, and I don't know what's there. I only know that the Shengtian Dynasty has drawn a dividing line there, and no one is allowed to break into it. And there is also a powerful barrier layer on the boundary.
Even if I wanted to go there, I wouldn't be able to," the butcher said.
"Haha, that must be a dangerous place." Ling Tianyu smiled.
"Maybe." The butcher nodded slightly and said, "Okay, when I get to Xuantian City, I will slowly tell you about Dongzhou. You can have a good rest first. When I get to a suitable place tomorrow, I will help you figure it out.
Get rid of those ghost things on your body. After all, it’s not very safe here now, and it will take a lot of effort to untie these things.”
"Thank you! When I first arrived here, I didn't make any friends. If I hadn't been rescued by my eldest brother, I might not have been able to leave alive. Yufeng will definitely repay my eldest brother!" Ling Tianyu said with sincere gratitude.
"Well, have a good rest." The butcher nodded slightly and turned away with a smile on his face. Mercenaries are not easy to mess with, and good brothers are even rarer. The butcher believed in his feelings.
······
In the dark forest, a figure was flashing strangely. It was a vulture.
At this time, just when the vulture landed.
Sudden!
Four black shadows suddenly appeared in the forest, and Senhan's sharp weapon was placed directly on the vulture's neck.
"Everyone... Don't be nervous... I am a friend... Those marks were all left by me..." Vulture was dripping with cold sweat and asked tremblingly: "How many of you are members of the Bai family?"
"Huh? Who are you?" A man in black asked coldly.
"Let him go first!" A cold voice sounded, and the drunkard appeared with a gloomy face. Then the four men in black released their swords and stared at the vulture warily.
"Sir..." the vulture called respectfully.
"Well, my name is Jiu Chou, and I am the chief engineer of the Bai family mine. Who are you?" Jiu Chou asked indifferently.
"Drunken feud!" Vulture's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "I've heard about your name for a long time, and I am the Vulture who slaughtered blood mercenaries."
"Blood-slaying mercenaries?" Jiu Qiu frowned. He had heard of this before. Although this mercenary was not very strong, it acted vigorously and brutally.
"Yes." The Vulture nodded and asked, "Sir, did someone run away from your Bai family mine today?"
"That's right!" Jiu Chou looked directly at him.
"That's right..." Vulture looked happy and told everything that happened when he saw Ling Tianyu today, including how Ling Tianyu massacred Bai Tian.
Hearing what Vulture said, Jiu Qiu was greatly shocked.
"You're lying! That boy from Xizhou is a loser! How could he possibly kill Brother Bai Tian!" a man in black yelled.
"No! He didn't lie." Jiuqiu looked directly at the vulture and said: "It's just that I don't understand. You mercenaries can be said to be a group of brothers who can go through life and death. They have very deep feelings. Why would you betray your regiment?"
long?"
The Vulture lowered his head and said sadly: "I'm really tired of this kind of life. I'm very eager to get a position. I don't want to live this hellish life all day long."
"Well, yes, it's a good thing to have higher pursuits." Jiu Chou nodded and said, "That boy from Xizhou killed our Bai family members. We have to capture him. What can you do?"
"He has your Bai family's prohibited items on him. Isn't it easy to remove them?" Vulture asked.
"Yes, with my ability, if I try to forcefully untie it, I will definitely suffer backlash." Jiuqiu replied.
"That's good. Tomorrow we will rush to a place, and our captain will help him unlock the forbidden objects on his body. Then you will have a chance. After all, with your current strength, if you want to deal with our entire blood-slaying mercenaries,
It's not that easy." Vulture said with a gloomy face: "And I will continue to leave a mark to lead you there, but after it is completed, I hope you can let me join your Bai family and give me a title! Also, I
I want to get one hundred high-grade spiritual stones!"
"No problem!" Jiu Chou did not hesitate and took out a small cloth bag from his arms and said: "There are twenty high-grade spiritual stones in it, which is a deposit promised to you."
Vulture took the hand and opened it. Sure enough, they were all sparkling high-grade spiritual stones. He was overjoyed and said with cupped hands, "Thank you, Mr. Jiuqiu. I'll take my leave now!"
After saying that, he quickly ran into the forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Sir, is this guy really trustworthy?" a man in black asked.
"Haha, I saw a very strong greed and ambition in this guy's eyes. This kind of person is the easiest to be exploited." Jiu Chou smiled coldly and said: "It seems that there is no need to bother Xuan this time.
