Even with some carefully planned routes, during the rest of the trip, their group was constantly fighting, mainly from attacks by undead monsters.
However, just as Shen Chen guessed, the people in this team have strong combat capabilities and rich experience. Whether they are avoiding or responding to challenges, they are all handled in an orderly manner.
"Huh? There seems to be a group of people there too!"
After traveling for several days, on a path in a sloping forest area, Liu Hanyan pointed to the dense forest in the mountain col below and exclaimed. At this time, no one had seen any movement.
The handsome man with the divine eye was quite surprised. He tried his best to activate his divine eye, but he could detect a slight movement, but he couldn't be sure whether it was a human being or an undead spirit.
After a while, in the mountain col, a group of people actually walked out of the dense forest and were walking towards them. They seemed to be a mercenary team, and they probably had just returned from completing their mission.
"Little sister, are you also a psychic?" The handsome guy's name was Stan. He was immediately very interested when he saw this mellow girl showing such magical abilities.
"Stan, do you want to pick up girls during the mission again? There are still several girls in Xiling City chasing their betrayers!" Doctor Michelle said with a joking smile.
Everyone in the group knows that although this guy is a nice person, he is also suave and likes to flirt with women everywhere. He also wanted to flirt with her before, but after being severely beaten by her several times, he has restrained himself a lot now.
"How did I hear that our handsome Stan guy picked up an undead lady during the last mission? Later, the lady was looking for the person who started to mess up but finally gave up." Amway, the reinstaller, is also rehashing old scores.
The mission of the mercenary group is full of dangers, but the relationship between the members is quite strong. During the mission, even if they joke with each other to adjust the spooky atmosphere, they will not relax their vigilance at all.
Obviously, Captain Hailewe also understood and trusted his companions quite well. He didn't say anything more and stared calmly at the group of people approaching in front of him.
"Yes, it is indeed a stranger, it seems to be those guys from Xing Zhi!" After a moment, Hailewei said, confirming that the person who came was not a dangerous target.
That group of people is also known to other members. They are members of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group. The Lone Wolf Mercenary Group is also a group that does business in the Dark Wind Highlands near Xiling City. It has Level 4 certification in the mercenary union and is of a lower-middle scale. mercenary group.
The relationship between the two mercenary groups on weekdays is neither cold nor hot. In fact, this is a microcosm of the relationship between most mercenary groups in this area. They are both competitors and can cooperate with each other when they cooperate. On weekdays, But they rarely interact with each other, and sometimes they have some disputes over business.
"Oh! It turns out that Boss Hailewei is on the mission himself. It seems that he has received a big deal. Congratulations!"
After a while, the group of people in the distance came closer. The leader was a thin man with a mustache, who looked like a bandit leader. He was smiling all over his face and came over to say hello to the head of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Group.
"Didn't Captain Xing Zhi take action on his own?" Hailewei said with a faint smile. The man walking in front of him was also the leader of the mercenary group.
This means that these guys must have done a good business, because Hailewei saw many elites of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group among that group of people.
Shen Chen and others were also observing carefully. This team was dusty and many were injured, which showed how brutal this kind of mission was.
However, the other party seemed to be very curious about them, especially the thin, yellow-faced man with a mustache. Although he was chatting with Captain Hailewe, his eyes kept rolling on them.
"Captain Hai, please reveal the details of this business, so that brothers can be greedy and learn more." Xiao Hu and others were not in a hurry to leave, but looked at Hailewe and others with some expectation.
Everyone knows that the Golden Eagle Mercenary Group is one of the three largest mercenary groups around here. It can have the leader and a deputy leader at the same time, and the team lineup is almost the strongest mission preparation of this mercenary group. This Running a business alone is certainly not easy.
"There's nothing to be greedy for. Everyone is eating at the knife's edge. If you take a lot, you will have to pay a lot." Captain Hailewe responded calmly.
"Haha, then I wish your group all the best in this mission, and we will see you later." The mustache was not angry at all, a strange color flashed in his eyes, he clasped his fists, and left with the others.
However, before the team could set off, Captain Hellaway suddenly turned around and said coldly: "Captain Xing Zhi, there is a smell of agave in the air nearby. Our mercenary group never uses it. this."
Mustache and others froze, but finally Mustache turned around, took out a small bottle, and said with a surprised smile: "Captain Hai's sword is indeed still young. He has not been on a mission for so many years, and there is such a thing." I admire my strong odor identification ability. Even if the cap of this bottle of agave liquid is not tightened, you can smell it. Thank you!"
With that said, Captain Xing Zhi closed the lid without any haste.
Shen Chen and others were also a little surprised. The things used by this mercenary group were really diverse.
However, Captain Hellaway did not think this was a coincidence. He had taken two steps before and suddenly his eyes brightened and he said: "Although the aglossus liquid is mostly used to delineate routes and avoid losing direction, it is Because the breath of this kind of thing can last for a long time and is difficult to erase, sometimes it can also be used to track prey."
"Captain Hai is very insightful, but this doesn't seem to be a problem. Our mission has been completed, and we have no plans to risk dealing with the undead leader to seize the death liquid. This is just an accident." Commander Xing Zhi's eyelids trembled slightly, laughed.
"Really?" Hailewe snorted: "Why do I think, Xing Zhi, you are deliberately trying to deal with us?"
"Captain Hai is serious. We just came back from the Death Zone and met you here by chance. How can we deal with it? Could we have predicted in advance that your regiment would go on a mission on this road and ambush you here?" Xing Zhi Said somewhat displeasedly.
"You have just returned from completing your mission, but I am afraid you have also received a black spirit signal from your companions in Xiling City and learned that there is a group of people who are being chased. If you capture them or provide useful clues, you can get generous rewards. "
Hailewei's expression was indifferent, and a terrible fighting aura was filling his whole body, like a ferocious beast resurrecting.
When Shen Chen and others heard this, they were also quite surprised. They secretly sighed that it was so dangerous. Fortunately, the leader was observant and had an astonishingly flexible mind.
As for the deputy captain Tang Shi, the reloader Anli and others, as soon as the captain raised questions, they quietly opened the battle formation and formed a siege on these people of the lone wolf mercenary group.
Doctor Michelle secretly backed away.
All of this is a tacit understanding without any orders, as if they are telepathically communicating with each other.
In fact, these people don't have the kind of skills to connect the spirit and charm at all. The ability to perform like this is completely tempered by years of high-intensity actual combat.
"Captain Hai, what you said just now are a bit arbitrary. Do you think that the Golden Eagle Mercenary Group is powerful and can do whatever they want?" Xing Zhi and others looked very ugly, and there was a flash of fear in their eyes.
The reputation of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Group is that it is the best in the platoon in this vast territory, and the elite team of this group are standing here right now, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Looking back at them, both in terms of numbers and level of powerhouses, they were all far behind.
"Don't hide it. There is a hint of Journey to the West flower in the agave liquid. If this formula comes into contact with the human body, it will form a very strong diffusion wave. Then you want to bring people to pursue it. , it will be much easier.”
At this time, an old woman in the team, after feeling calmly for a long time, finally spoke out coldly and angrily, exposing the true colors of these guys.
Obviously, this is the spirit master in the team. In fact, even this old woman took a long time to analyze before she could sense the slightest fluctuation of the Journey to the West Flower.
With this method, those who are tricked are often completely kept in the dark, completely unconscious, and even in the end, they don’t understand how they were blocked.
Shen Chen and everyone kept smacking their lips, finally understanding the true capabilities of this Golden Eagle mercenary group. First they made a calm hypothetical analysis, and then someone immediately verified it with facts. What's even more amazing is that almost all of this happened in the blink of an eye. between.
"Boss Xing Zhi, since you know that these people are worth a lot of money, why waste your energy on completing any tasks?" Opponent, now is the time. Let us, the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group, come over. All you have to do is stand aside and watch the show, and you will get huge benefits later. The Golden Eagle Mercenary Group will take the lion's share, and we will share some of the soup."
It has to be said that Captain Xing Zhi is also quite cunning and calm. At this time, he was not in a hurry to show off his face, but came up with a plan with sincerity.
"Sure enough, he is used to being a bandit and will always be a dirty schemer in secret. It is simply a shame to hold the title of mercenary with you guys!" The beautiful doctor sneered again and again, showing no concealment of disgust.
This lone wolf mercenary group was indeed a bandit gang before, but later found that bandits were not as popular as the mercenary group in this area, so they changed their profession.
In the past few years, when this mercenary group took on tasks, customers often got into trouble halfway through, and many people outside suspected that these guys were playing tricks behind the scenes.
The soul contract does restrict the mercenary group from taking action against customers, but nothing can be perfect. The mercenary group does not harm customers, but deliberately letting them go when they encounter danger is also indirect persecution.
Therefore, the key is to talk about reputation. Because missions frequently fail, the reputation of this lone wolf mercenary group is quite average.
"kill!"
Captain Hailewei was even more direct. He gave the order directly without any nonsense. The giant ax in his hand was immediately swung towards Captain Xing Zhi.
When something like this happens, it is impossible to reconcile, because a calm and cautious person like Haleway would never believe that these people would honestly pretend not to have seen anything when they go back.
Since a threat has been posed, mercenaries must be used to deal with the threat, which is the simplest and most direct way to solve the problem.
The other members of the group also acted simply and quickly without any sloppiness. They seemed to have known for a long time that the group leader would not let these people go.
"Hailewei, you..." Xing Zhi and others suddenly changed their expressions. The people of the Golden Eagle Mercenary Group are indeed as legendary as they are ruthless and decisive. Once they make a decision, they will immediately take action.
"Block, take the hostages!"
An old man next to Xing Zhi screamed that they had no chance of winning in this battle and could only control the other party's patrons and make them use the enemy's weapons.
"Catch them!" Xing Zhi also yelled ferociously, no longer expecting reconciliation.
"Roar!"
However, before they could attack, the heavily-armed Anli roared, and a terrifying concussive shock wave spread in all directions. The initial circle just wrapped Shen Chen and others in it.
Everyone on the periphery was quickly pushed back, and the battlefield expanded.
"Leave no one behind!" Halaway raised his giant ax high.
