Perhaps it was before Lingbao was born that all the mercenary groups on the outskirts of the Blackwater Swamp seemed to be at peace with each other, working in their own camps and killing beasts.
From time to time, you can see some people from the family power passing by, but in the eyes of those people, they are full of disdain for these mercenaries.
Although the Blood and Fire Mercenary Group is small in number, its overall strength is relatively good among the mercenary groups, and ordinary mercenary groups would not dare to provoke the Blood and Fire Mercenary Group.
Ling Tianyu was leisurely lurking in the Blood Fire Mercenary Group, which would definitely not attract the attention of other powerful people.
However, Ling Tianyu always felt that there was something wrong with Zu Ruofei.
After walking for a long time, he did not encounter any poisonous monsters, but Ling Tianyu felt that the poisonous monsters here seemed to have been cleaned up long ago, and it seemed that someone was passing by.
Originally, Ling Tianyu wanted to say something, but he didn't have any say in the Blood and Fire Mercenary Group, so he simply kept silent. Anyway, Ling Tianyu would leave the Blood and Fire Mercenary Group in about the same time. Now he is just in the Blood and Fire Mercenary Group.
Just make soy sauce.
"Ruofei, wait a minute." Guo Cheng suddenly called to Zu Ruofei who was walking away, subconsciously reminding him that there was a bad feeling here.
"What, captain?" Zu Ruofei flashed over.
"It feels very wrong." Guo Cheng said with a serious look on his face: "Don't you think you've been too calm along the way? You didn't even see a poisonous monster."
"The leader is overly concerned. There are so many people entering the Blackwater Swamp this time. It must be that a lot of the poisonous monsters and monsters in it have been cleaned up. After all, this is just the outer area." Zu Ruofei said with a smile.
"Brother Ruofei is right, as long as we don't enter the Blackwater Swamp for the time being." Guo Xue said following Zu Ruofei's words.
"Well..." Guo Cheng thought.
Ling Tianyu couldn't help but said: "Let's go in another direction. It's too comfortable here. We have to kill a few monsters and steal some beast crystals, otherwise it will be in vain."
"Hmph, do you have the right to speak here?" Guo Xue snorted: "With your strength, you still want to kill monsters. I think it's a question whether you will be so lucky to survive later."
"Oh, pretend I didn't say it." Ling Tianyu had already kindly reminded him, so there was no need to ask for trouble.
Guo Cheng said: "Then let's walk a little further. After all, our main purpose this time is to hunt monsters and obtain beast crystals. If we don't encounter monsters again, then we will change places."
"Yes." Zu Ruofei nodded solemnly, glanced coldly at Ling Tianyu, then quickened his pace and walked into the jungle.
Guo Cheng hesitated for a while, but still signaled to follow.
Ling Tianyu originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he was still curious and started scanning with the power of his soul.
"Huh?" Ling Tianyu was secretly shocked. Not far from the front, there was a group of people whose overall strength far exceeded that of the Blood Fire Mercenary Group. Among them were four Xuanyin Realm warriors.
Obviously, Zu Ruofei ran in that direction deliberately.
"What does he want to do?" Ling Tianyu was full of doubts.
About a thousand meters away.
Whoosh!~
Zu Ruofei suddenly ran into the jungle and disappeared.
"Ruofei?" Guo Cheng frowned.
suddenly!
Swish! Swish!~~
One after another figures swept out from the jungle. There were more than twenty people in total, all of them were Xuanyang realm warriors. The first three people had actually reached the strength of the Xuanyin realm, and looking at their clothes, they didn't look like mercenaries.
It's more like a group of family powerful people.
But Guo Cheng recognized it at first sight and muttered: "Hou Jia!"
Guo Xue was also stunned, looking at the group of people with disgust, as if he had no favorable impression.
"Captain Guo!" came a laugh that made people feel sick when they heard it.
In the forest, an ugly young man in green clothes with an obscene smile slowly walked over. His lustful eyes glanced at Guo Xue's wild and proud body.
His skills are not bad, he has the cultivation level of the third level of Xuanyin.
"Hou Jie!" Guo Xue said in shock, quite disgusted.
Guo Cheng's face was gloomy, and he seemed to have some entanglements with the Hou family, which was extremely unkind.
"Young Master, what do you mean?" Guo Cheng asked coldly.
"It's not interesting, it's just that I think I will have more leverage here." Hou Jie said with a sinister smile.
"Don't even think about taking advantage of Xiaoxue!" Guo Cheng said coldly.
"Captain Guo, it seems that you already know my purpose, but you must understand that this is not Tianfeng City." Hou Jie's face was filled with pride.
"It's the same everywhere!" Guo Cheng held the sword in his hand.
Guo Xue even yelled angrily: "Get out of here!"
"Hey, I just like Miss Xue'er's temper! It's so wild! If I can get married to Miss Xue'er, I will definitely have countless enjoyments in the future." Hou Jiechun's heart was filled with joy, and he was beaming with joy.
Ling Tianyu finally understood that this handsome young master of the Hou family was a lustful master. But it was normal to think about it. Guo Xue's figure was indeed quite good.
Guo Xue was so angry that she held her sword fiercely and cursed angrily: "Even a toad like you wants to eat swan meat! Go and eat fucking shit!~"
Ling Tianyu was stunned, this Guo Xue was really awesome.
Hou Jie, on the other hand, became more and more happy as he listened. Ganqing especially liked being abused, and he said with a joyful smile: "Haha! Go ahead and scold me! The more energetic you scold me, the better! I will like it more, the young master!"
"You..." Guo Xue's face twitched with anger and she was about to rush away.
Suddenly, Guo Cheng blocked the angry Guo Xue with one hand, looked at Hou Jie coldly and said, "Young Master Hou, you are going too far. Aren't you afraid that the Lord of the City will find out? This will not do any good to your Hou family.
."
"City Lord?" Hou Jie said with a disdainful smile: "Yes, your Blood and Fire Mercenary Group is lucky enough to have established friendship with the City Lord. But Captain Guo, don't forget, this is in the Blackwater Swamp.
If you die here, I'm afraid you won't suspect that you came to our home."
"With my strength, there is no problem in charging out!" Guo Cheng said coldly.
"Captain Guo, I still advise you not to do some very ignorant actions. In fact, you should think about the good. With the power and status of our Hou family in Tianfeng City, Xue'er will definitely not suffer any loss by marrying me. Moreover,
I can also directly let you, Captain Guo, become the elder of our Hou family’s nursing home, which is much better than the mercenary who lives on the edge of a knife all day long." Hou Jie said with a smile.
"Hmph! I'm not interested in the nursing director of your Hou family!" Guo Cheng said with a sullen face, "And I'm warning you! Don't ever think about attacking Xiaoxue again!"
"Yes! Even if I die, I will never marry this disgusting thing like you!" Guo Xue cursed fiercely.
"So reluctant? Are you attracted to that guy Ruofei?" Hou Jie said with a strange smile.
"That's right! I just like brother Ruofei!" Guo Xue shouted.
"Then you will be disappointed." Hou Jie narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Disappointed? Why am I disappointed?" Guo Xue said coldly.
"Xiaoxue." A familiar voice sounded, and Zu Ruofei walked out expressionlessly.
"Brother Ruofei!" Guo Xue said in shock.
Guo Cheng seemed to have understood something, and his face was filled with anger.
Ling Tianyu watched all this with interest. Sure enough, there was something wrong with Zu Ruofei.
"Xiaoxue, there's nothing wrong with you following Master Hou." Zu Ruofei looked indifferent.
"Brother Ruofei, you..." Guo Xue didn't react for a moment.
Guo Cheng asked angrily: "Ruofei! Did you lead us here?"
After Guo Cheng said this, Guo Xue and the others finally came to their senses.
Guo Xue seemed to have suffered a huge blow suddenly, her face was pale, her lips were trembling, and she who was originally stubborn suddenly became softer. She didn't really like Zu Ruofei, but she regarded Zu Ruofei as a
Zuo is his eldest brother. There is no doubt that what Zu Ruofei did made Guo Xue completely disappointed.
Guo Cheng was furious and asked, "Tell me! Is it you?"
"Captain, do you know why I was able to break through to the Xuanyin realm?" Zu Ruofei said like a corpse: "It's not because of my hard work, nor because of my great talent, but..."
"But the Hou family secretly helped you?" Guo Cheng directly answered Zu Ruofei's words, furious.
"Yes." Zu Ruofei replied.
"Hmph! Your father and I are friends in times of need, and we are as close as brothers. Before your father died, he entrusted you to me. Over the years, I have always taken care of you as my own son! Have you forgotten?
"?" Guo Cheng snorted coldly.
"I haven't forgotten!" Zu Ruofei's eyes suddenly turned red and he said violently: "But have you ever thought about why my father died? Why! It was a mercenary! Because he was a humble mercenary! A mercenary like a dog!
That's right! He was born and died with you! But why didn't you die!"
Guo Cheng was stunned and said sadly: "Of course I hope it's me who dies..."
"No!" Zu Ruofei's face was full of sternness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I hate mercenaries! I hate mercenaries who are like dog slaves! I want to become stronger! I want power!"
When Zu Ruofei said these words, it was like a sharp knife stabbing Guo Xue's chest again and again. He asked tremblingly: "Brother Ruofei, you are really the best person I have ever grown up with."
Brother Ruofei you rely on? Why are you like this?"
"Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, but I do it for your own good." Zu Ruofei said coldly: "You have to remember that no matter how powerful you are, you are still a woman after all. You don't have to be a humble mercenary.
There is no need to go through life and death. Master Hou can give you everything you need, and you won’t have to face death again!"
"That's not what I need!" Guo Xue shook her head, heartbroken.
"Okay, no more nonsense." Hou Jie couldn't bear his temper anymore. He looked at Guo Cheng coldly and said: "Captain Guo! Now I give you two choices! Either surrender! Or die! But it doesn't matter what you choose.
Well, today I’m going to make a date with Xue’er. In fact, this is my first time doing that in this forest, so it should be very exciting.”
"Beast! If you dare to touch a hair on Xiaoxue! I'll kill you!" Guo Cheng cursed angrily.
"Haha! Kill me?" Hou Jie laughed disdainfully and said with a sullen face: "Captain Guo has a cultivation level of the fourth level of Xuanyin, right? My cultivation level is one level worse than yours. But I can give it to you.
A chance, if you can defeat me or kill me, I can let you go. But if you fail, then Xue'er belongs to me!"
"Humph! Xiaoxue is not a trading item!" Guo Cheng snorted.
"Father! Kill this disgusting thing!" Guo Xue scolded.
"Yes." Guo Cheng held the long sword in his hand gravely, thinking that he was doomed today, so he might as well risk it once and kill Hou Jie.
