Chapter 305 Suddenly understand that this is a temptation
"Master, if everything is determined by fate, then what's the point of fighting for it?" The little turtle shook his head and said, with a rare trace of disdain and a touch of sadness on his face.
Shen Ming hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "Are you admitting it in disguise?"
"The little turtle did have the ability to vaguely see the future a long time ago, but is this a blessing or a curse? Is there anything exciting in life?" The little turtle did not change the topic this time, but went straight to the topic.
Bai De admitted, his ice blue eyes staring closely at Shen Ming, as if expecting something.
Shen Ming hesitated for a moment, took a breath and said, "Hurry up and hurry up. There is no signal in this tropical rainforest. I don't know where it is."
Shen Ming finally gave up on his thoughts. Little Turtle was right. If he knew the outcome of something early in the morning, would it really be a good thing?
If fate tells you that your life is doomed to fail, does that mean you don’t even have the courage to face it? A perfect life would be to avoid all bad things?
In order to avoid one mistake, you may make another mistake. If you keep avoiding it, it will be very tiring.
…
…
In the afternoon, the humid rainforest was like a huge steamer. Even with a little turtle cooling himself down from time to time, Shen Ming still felt very uncomfortable. Both sides were sticky up and down and filled with the smell of sweat.
"Why do you always feel that something is wrong?" Shen Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead. The harsh environment made him feel very unhappy, but what he was thinking about now was not the harsh environment, but the vague feeling after coming out of that bloody space.
I felt something was wrong.
Shen Ming felt as if he had overlooked something, but he just couldn't figure out where he had overlooked it.
"Master... there seems to be traces of someone here, we seem to have arrived at the edge of the rain forest!" The little turtle seemed to have noticed something, and jumped directly onto Shen Ming's shoulder, reminding him vigilantly.
The little turtle's words interrupted Shen Ming's thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel happy. A full seven days had passed since they came out. Shen Ming had no sense of direction here at all, except for walking one way to the dark side.
There was no other choice, and he couldn't guarantee whether he had chosen the right direction.
But now it seems that there are already traces of people, which means that they are almost out of the wilderness and reaching civilization!
Shen Ming ran quickly in the direction pointed by the little turtle. After a while, he saw the bonfire in the distance and ran over excitedly. He was really fed up. Staying in such a ghost place for one more second would be a waste.
What a torment!
…
Beside a creek, there were more than a dozen men and women, all dressed in smart clothes. They looked very well-trained, and they seemed to be staying here to repair themselves. Moreover, these more than a dozen people seemed to be Asians, and they seemed to be talking about everything while talking.
is Chinese.
"Boss... is there really a mana ore mine here? It's been half a month. If this continues, we will soon run out of food. And... we have gone too far now, will it?
Will you meet a powerful demon?" One of the rough men looked a little unnatural, and said in the ear of the middle-aged man who was standing on the rock and looking around, and he saw that he was the boss.
"Then what else can we do? Who asked the previous team to bring back a large piece of raw stone ore from here? We mercenaries are living in a foreign country just for money, isn't it? The commission fee this time is incredibly high!
"The middle-aged man showed a ruthless look on his face. He is obviously determined to win this time's goal. The temptation of money is enough to make him risk his life!
"But... we are not the only team. If we have been found by another team first, I think the employer will be very happy. We are still wandering around in the rain forest, and even encounter accidents. After all, they definitely hope to pay less.
!" The rough man on the side frowned, his expression clearly showing some reluctance. Although he didn't say it clearly, his intention was to dissuade the captain from persisting any longer.
They have been walking around with the map of the target location for half a month and still haven't found anything, which means that the destination they chose is probably not correct. It is very likely that the real mana raw stone mine has been found by another team.
, and they are still wandering around here stupidly.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the team members who were repairing by the creek. They were all looking at him at the moment. It was obvious that although his team members could not hear the conversation between the two, they were clear in their hearts.
"Zhang Long, if you want to persuade me to give up, then I can only say that you have made a wrong calculation. The magic energy reaction here is getting stronger and stronger, which means that we are getting closer to our destination. If you give up at this time, you can convince me
Myself?" The middle-aged man glanced at the rough man with contempt, as if he had already seen through the other man's thoughts.
After Zhang Long heard this, he couldn't help but take a step back. There was a hint of panic on his face, and he stumbled and said, "You know how to use the detector?"
As soon as the welcome was over, the middle-aged man blasted Zhang Long away with a fire fist and fell heavily into the creek.
The team members who were being repaired did not understand this sudden change for a moment, but they still stood up subconsciously and vigilantly.
Although they are a team, mercenaries always put themselves first, and protecting their own safety is the most important thing!
"You!" Zhang Long stood up from the water unsteadily. The flesh on his chest had been burned. Under the penetration of the rainforest stream water, the itchy and painful feeling made him grin.
"Do you really think I don't know that you changed the data of the detector? You have been leading us here in circles, saying inflammatory words. How much bribe did Thomas give you to let you lie to us old friends?
"The middle-aged man was very angry and deliberately raised the decibel level. Apparently, he wanted to explain to his team members why he had to take action suddenly?
"Team Song, it's impossible! Brother Zhang is the veteran of the team and has always been your deputy. How could he do such a thing?" One of the strong women stood up and said with a look of disbelief.
The rest of the team members did not speak for Zhang Long at this moment. They did not care who in the team spoke effectively. As long as they had money to take, wouldn't it be a good thing to have one less person to share the money?
"You can ask him himself, although the magic energy reaction here is getting stronger and stronger, why does the value detected by his instrument keep decreasing?" Captain Song directly took out a round precision instrument and pressed the button casually.
After a few clicks, an astonishing number 996 appeared on the display.
The rest of the team members took a deep breath. How could such a high magic energy value be possible? Aren't the previous values all over ten, and sometimes even close to zero.
Will Captain Song really lie to them? The answer must be no, no one will have trouble with money. Whoever finds the magic energy raw stone mine first will definitely get exponentially more commissions!
But why did Zhang Long, who had always been Team Song's deputy, do this?
"Song Yiyang, hum...why did I change the data? Don't you know it in your heart? I have been your deputy leader for three years. When did you think of me? You hold the big head, but give me the same share as ordinary team members.
Is it really fair to me?
To tell you the truth, Thomas' people will be here soon, and if you don't want to give up the mana ore mine, you will inevitably have a fire fight. Let's see how you deal with the Fire Mercenary Group's detachment, which has a high-level mage!" Zhang Longda
He said with a smile, now he no longer had to hide anything.
Mercenaries never care about humanity. Money is more important than life. Anyone who blocks his money must die!
Everyone looked at Zhang Long with unwavering eyes. Even the woman who just spoke for him was silent at this moment, and instead stared at Zhang Long fiercely!
This is a world of mercenaries where people cannibalize people. You can have feelings, but everything must be based on monetary interests.
…
In the grass on the side, Shen Ming squatted in the grass and ate the dried meat prepared in the space bracelet. Looking at the scene in front of him, he also found it very funny.
"Tsk tsk... what kind of bloody plot is this? This guy named Zhang Long has a really low IQ. How can he still be a mercenary with his IQ? If I had prepared a set tester before coming, I would have put the original test
I deliberately broke the instrument so that it would not be easily discovered."
"Master, not everything is complicated. Sometimes it is like this. There is not much intrigue between ordinary people. Supervisors are also linked to interests, but they are simple-minded." The little turtle looked at this scene and also laughed.
Said with a smile.
Compared with the intrigues in official circles, this small conflict is nothing at all.
Seeing the rough man named Zhang Long being beaten to death with his own eyes, Shen Ming showed no expression at all. Instead, he hesitated whether to follow them or go out now to express his intention to leave.
But looking at the current situation, if you just go out like this, you might be regarded as someone who wants to steal first-hand information about the mana ore mine from them, and you might be attacked directly.
Although the group of people in front of him are all mid-level mages, and there are even a few junior mages, Shen Ming does not need to be afraid of this strength, but if he accidentally kills them all, how can he get out?
Shen Ming finally decided to wait and see, since he was not in a hurry anyway.
…
"I hope everyone can understand that we are all here for money! I will never forgive anything that offends everyone's interests!" Team Song directly waved a ball of flame and burned Zhang Long's body clean, as a warning to others.
.
As the captain, although he is the decision-maker in the team, he must always be wary of these jackals, tigers and leopards in the team. These people gather together not for any friendship. The only thing that can connect them is money and
Powerful suppression!
Team Song is the only one in the team who is at the peak of the mid-level, and no one can challenge his authority, but it is difficult to prevent attacks with open guns and covert attacks. Multiple mercenary teams receive a mission at the same time, and there are still many cases of mutual infiltration.
After all, profit is the most touching thing. Zhang Long, who has been with Captain Song for three years, can betray him. What else is impossible? You must know that it is not easy for mercenaries to work together for three years. We have experienced so much together.
A life-and-death battle? This alone will lead to feuding between brothers due to uneven distribution, not to mention others.
"Team Song, what should we do if Thomas's people also come? There are high-level magicians in their team!" One of them also asked worriedly. If they really take action by then, they will be weaker.
It's possible that there won't even be a chance to escape.
"Then we must be one step faster than them. Before they come, we must fully detect the situation here. I hope everyone will not slack off anymore. If it really comes to that step, I cannot guarantee everyone's safety..." Song
The threat in the words of the team is not concealed at all. Only fierceness can suppress these wolves, tigers and leopards in the team. Talking about brotherhood is completely nonsense in the world of mercenaries!
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, but they all acquiesced to Captain Song's words. There was indeed not much time left for them.
…
"It seems...it will take a while to keep up with these guys..."
Halfway through Shen Ming murmured to himself, he suddenly felt a hint of danger. Several small turtles still lying on the ground were taken into his contract space, and then they jumped away from their original positions.
The moment Shen Ming left, a thick ball with a scaly tail hit the spot where Shen Ming had been before.
The sound of "boom" made the already nervous mercenary team instantly excited. Everyone moved closer to the Song team and took a defensive posture.
And as Shen Ming's figure appeared, magic blasted past without hesitation.
"Where did I go... where did the big python come from? This is exposed?" Before Shen Ming could land, the python that had hit him where he was just opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards him, and behind him
There will also be seven or eight to all kinds of magic attacks coming soon.
Shen Ming also reacted very quickly. He quickly pulled out the fish knife from his space bracelet, used telekinesis to cleverly avoid the magic attack from behind, and then split the huge python that was attacking him in half with one knife.
.
After a handsome landing, Shen Ming looked at the mercenary team in front of him who looked at him very warily, and shook off the fish knife that was dripping with blood. Looking at the python corpse on the side, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart: You are a beast looking for death!
"Who are you?" Captain Song jumped off the rock and looked at Shen Ming warily. The other person also looked Asian, so he shouldn't be Thomas's group.
"I said I was lost, do you believe it? In fact, I really just want to leave this hellish place." Shen Ming spread his hands in embarrassment. This is indeed what he was thinking, but whether the other party believes it or not is up to him.
It's really not Shen Ming's business.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Team Song didn't expect Shen Ming to say that, nor did he think of how to answer this question.
The opponent's skills seemed to be good. He easily solved the difficulty of attacking from the front and back without using magic, and the magic tool in his hand didn't look ordinary. The most important thing was that the opponent didn't look like a mercenary at all.
No decision yet.
There will be a conflict? Then your side will definitely suffer losses. If it really faces Thomas' team then, it will be completely at a disadvantage.
A trace of murderous intent flashed through Captain Song's eyes, but it quickly disappeared completely.
"Congratulations to the donor for obtaining 15 intimidation points."
"It seems they are not friendly to me!" Shen Ming laughed contemptuously. He was not afraid of doing anything, but he just didn't want to stay in this ghost place for too long.
"Um?"
The smile on Shen Ming's face suddenly froze, and even his body froze at this moment, because he thought of something.
Point of intimidation! Point of intimidation!
Why was there no point of intimidation when we faced the clone of the Dark King named Karls in that space just now? The system didn’t respond at all. This is not normal!
"System, is there really nothing wrong with your judgment mechanism? Why didn't you react at all when you faced the Dark King before?"
"The other party did not show the slightest intention to threaten the host."
The system's mechanical answer made Shen Ming feel a chill behind his back. Perhaps Karls' appearance was not an accident at all.
This is simply a test! The test is naturally not Shen Ming's depth, but the system hidden in Shen Ming's body! Under what circumstances will he take action?
It seems that this time, the dark princess named Karls really did not show any hostility towards herself from the beginning to the end, but towards the little turtle! It seems that she escaped easily, and now that I think about it, it is indeed a little bit...
