In the silent forest, the large group of people walked quietly, pairs of vigilant eyes constantly scanning the dark places in the surrounding trees, their hands tightly holding the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.
As an old mercenary who has been working in the Warcraft Mountains for many years, even though it is the first time to cooperate, they can still maintain a basic tacit understanding. When their eyes intersect, they can also recognize some signs of danger and safety from the other party's eyes.
The black giant sword's strange ability to suppress fighting spirit and its excessive weight made Xiao Yan's journey a bit difficult. Almost every time he landed, he would be stuck deep in the soft soil, so it was only a short distance away.
I started to feel a little breathless.
Wiping the sweat from his face, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the Wanyaozhai herb collection team behind him, which was heavily guarded. His eyes casually swept through the team, and finally stayed there as if he was being held up by stars.
They usually cluster around the woman in the white dress in the middle.
At this time, this fragile beauty known as the Little Medical Fairy also happened to straighten up slightly, gently wiping the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, panting slightly, and matching her soft cheeks, she looked
It's quite heartwarming.
Seeing the little medical fairy looking like this, some of the mercenaries around him suddenly had the urge to carry it to their destination, but they also knew that even if they wanted to carry it, the little medical fairy would just smile and politely refuse.
When everyone's eyes were focused on the Little Medical Fairy, a rather handsome young man walked out of the escort on the side with a smile on his face, lowered his head and said something to the panting Little Medical Fairy.
The two chatted for a while, and the little medical fairy smiled and shook her head, and then continued to walk forward.
Being rejected by the little medical fairy, the young man showed no trace of anger on his face. He smiled faintly and waved his palm. He shouted: "Wolf-headed people, please pay attention to me. We are about to enter the Warcraft Mountains now. Don't dig in the gutter."
Get the boat!"
"Yes, Young Commander!"
Hearing the young man's shout, dozens of big men around him immediately responded in unison, and the neat tone attracted everyone's sideways glances. Even the little medical fairy who was walking forward glanced back.
Very satisfied with this reaction, the young man smiled slightly, took two quick steps again, and walked side by side with the little medical fairy, protecting him very ardently.
"Damn it, isn't it just because his father is the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group? Does he think he can win the heart of the little medical fairy just by doing this?" He looked at the young man who could chat with the little medical fairy up close.
A mercenary man next to Xiao Yan suddenly cursed in a low voice, with a strong acidity in his tone.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Xiao Yan glanced at the young man. Finally, he stopped at a badge on his chest. In the badge, a one-eyed wolf head was carved.
His gaze jumped over the young man and looked at the thirty or so mercenaries wearing the same badges on their chests. Xiao Yan blinked. It seemed that these people should be the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, one of the three major mercenary groups in Qingshan Town.
.
Looking at how well these Wolf Head mercenary members protect the herb collection team, it is obvious that they are also guards hired by Wanyao Zhai, and it seems that Wanyao Zhai trusts the Wolf Head mercenary group much more than the previous stragglers.
.Otherwise, they would not be allowed to serve as personal guards.
Slowly looking away, Xiao Yan was not very interested in the relationship between the young man and the little fairy doctor, so he shook his head and once again set off with heavy steps toward the Warcraft Mountains.
Outside the Warcraft Mountains, everything was relatively peaceful. However, not long after the team entered the Warcraft Mountains, a small-scale Warcraft attack was cruelly displayed in front of Xiao Yan.
The attacker is a three-headed first-level monster named Red Ice Snake. This kind of monster is quite common in the periphery of the Monster Mountains. Its attribute is ice, and the ice is pregnant with cold poison. If the poisoned person is not treated within half a day, he will be killed.
The cold poison freezes the blood in the body until death.
The three-headed first-level magic beast, Red Ice Snake, hung on the tree trunk. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the people below, it easily injected the cold poison into the bodies of the three mercenaries like lightning. Suddenly, the three mercenaries turned pale.
The ice sculptured man's hands and feet softened with coldness.
After being attacked, everyone immediately took action with anger. Within a moment, the three first-level monsters were beaten to death by the group as expected. However, after the three-headed first-order monsters were killed, no trace of them was found in their bodies.
There were traces of the magic core, and in response to this, the mercenaries just sighed with a little regret. It was not uncommon to kill monsters in the wild and return without success at the cost of heavy casualties, so they were concerned about this.
There wasn't much disappointment either.
After the Red Ice Snake was dealt with, the three mercenaries who were poisoned by the cold poison were quickly sent to the herb collection team at the rear. The little medical fairy personally took action to expel the cold poison from their bodies.
After the attack by the Red Ice Snake, the mercenary team that had suffered a loss became even more cautious. However, in the Warcraft Mountains where the Warcraft was densely populated, it was obviously difficult to completely avoid the Warcraft.
possible things.
The team walked less than 500 meters, and everyone was attacked by three waves of Warcraft. Fortunately, the mercenaries were outnumbered, and at the cost of a dozen mercenaries being slightly injured, the three waves of Warcraft were defeated.
All the attacks were repulsed.
Xiao Yan, who was following the exploratory team in front and could not avoid it, also directly participated in a battle. However, in the head-on collision with a first-order monster, he ended up with numbness in his palms.
Looking at the monster that cunningly ran away after the attack was fruitless, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth bitterly. If the fighting spirit in his body was not restrained by the giant sword, he would definitely kill this monster. Unfortunately...
Even if he allowed the monster to escape, the strength shown by Xiao Yan still made the surrounding mercenaries look at him with admiration.
"Little brother, it's amazing that you can actually fight against the snake-tailed leopard, which is famous for its strength."
"Tsk, tsk, you are so strong at a young age, how can you still do it in the future?"
"Haha, this little guy is the youngest two-star fighter in the team, right? Looking at his strength, it's true."
The cheers of the surrounding mercenaries caused a small commotion in the team. When everyone looked at the young man carrying the giant sword, they automatically omitted questions.
In this kind of circle where status is determined by strength, as long as you show impressive strength, you can gain the awe of others. This is a very simple and straightforward rule!
In response to these cheers, Xiao Yan just smiled casually. There was neither coquettishness nor pride in his smile. He just followed the team and continued to walk silently towards the place where the medicine was collected.
"Everyone, we are close to the herb collection area. Please take a rest. We are tired after walking for so long." After walking for a distance again, the woman's soft and crisp voice suddenly sounded in the quiet team.
After a slight pause in their progress, the entire team stopped in unison, turned around, looked at the woman in the white dress with a smile that did not contain any impurities, and nodded her head in an extremely honest manner.
After a quick discussion, more than a dozen mercenaries dispersed around to stand guard, while the others sat on the same spot, recovering from the energy they had expended due to the rush.
Sitting on the ground, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled, flicked his fingers, and a light green rejuvenation pill appeared in his palm again. His eyes swept around, Xiao Yan turned his head slightly, raised his head and hit it.
Yawning, he patted his mouth with his palms, and at this moment, the pill was thrown into his stomach without any trace.
After the elixir entered the body, its power evaporated quickly. Xiao Yan leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes slightly, letting the medicine quickly replenish the depleted fighting energy in his body.
Because of the help of the Rejuvenation Pill, when Xiao Yan returned to his peak state again, the mercenaries around him were still whispering, waiting for the slow recovery of physical strength.
After muttering in his mind that it would be nice to have the elixir, Xiao Yan stood up, told the mercenary beside him to go out and relieve himself, and then walked slowly towards the small forest beside him.
Walking into the forest, the light was dim, but this was an area that had been investigated by mercenaries before, so Xiao Yan did not have to worry about being suddenly attacked by monsters. His eyes swept around, looking for the most suitable place to practice.
With Xiao Yan's detection, he went deeper and deeper into the small dense forest, and walked a certain distance again. His dim sight suddenly brightened. When he looked up, he found that he had passed through the small dense forest, and what appeared in front of him was a side.
There are some steep cliffs, and below the cliffs, there are lush green forests, which are quite beautiful.
His gaze swept over the edge of the cliff, but his eyes suddenly paused. Xiao Yan touched his nose, and then stopped in front of a plant with pale white flowers on the edge of the cliff.
This plant has pale white flowers in bloom. Among the faintly blooming flowers, there are red fruits, looming, and a faint medicinal fragrance emanates from them.
His eyes scanned the plant carefully, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, then squatted down slightly, stretched out his palm towards the plant, and wanted to pick it off.
Just when Xiao Yan touched the plant, a jade-like white hand suddenly stretched out from the cliff in front of him and grabbed the plant, but it was caught in Xiao Yan's palm.
.
The jade hand just touched Xiao Yan's palm, and after a slight sluggishness, it shrank back like an electric shock. In just an instant, a soft cheek with an ethereal aura was revealed from under the cliff, slightly panicked.
He looked at the young man squatting in front with a look of astonishment on his face.
