Chapter 39 Accidental
"Be careful, the ending mountain range is definitely one of the most terrifying mountains. Although we have been to this area, it is already the limit to get here. I am not sure to save you a few of you even further."
In the mountains of the mountain range, a small team of eight people was walking with caution. The speaker was constantly looking at the surroundings. As long as there was any movement around him, he would definitely catch it immediately and erase the crisis hidden in it.
Among these eight people, five were obviously dressed in mercenaries, with their faces filled with wind and frost. On their faces, the trauma left behind when fighting with ferocious beasts. They were not only wearing thick leather armor, but also holding the swords in their hands at all times, and there was no scabbard on their bodies.
At the end of the team, a thin middle-aged man held a bow and arrow, with sharp eyes and flexible movements. He climbed up to the ancient trees from time to time and explored the road. When he found a place that might be threatening to the team, even if he was irritating a ferocious beast, he would immediately shoot out the sharp arrow in his hand and throw a stone to ask for directions.
Compared with the five mercenaries in the team who were obviously not weak, one man and two women who were protected in the center were obviously weak. The young man was a little better, with a sword hanging on his waist and a face full of vigilance and vigilance. He looked like a loyal guard, but the two girls were obviously a little unbearable.
Not only was the originally luxurious and dazzling leather armor made it dark, but even the originally beautiful long hair was full of mess. If it weren't for the fact that it looked quite elegant, and the sword in its hand was not ordinary, it was almost comparable to the refugees in the refugee camp.
"Miss Yili, Miss Nanna, let's go back. The two misses and beasts have also seen each other in the past two days. And you should also know that the mercenary is not as casual, comfortable and beautiful as the minstrel said. We roll on the tip of the sword every day and exchange our lives for food. What is the value of this kind of life?"
Among the mercenary team, the high-level swordsman with the highest cultivation level looked at the two stubborn girls in the team and said helplessly.
He really felt that it was unreasonable to these so-called nobles, just like the two people in front of him, who didn't do a good job, but they actually wanted to experience the life of mercenaries on a whim. They entered the mountains to kill ferocious beasts and proved themselves. They also hired their "Stone Mercenary Group" to enter the ending mountains to enjoy the pleasure of hunting ferocious beasts. Such behavior made these mercenaries speechless.
"No! I must hunt a ferocious beast with my own efforts. Over the years, I have persisted in such a arduous training. I practice swordsman sweating profusely every day to prove myself. Now I am a mid-level swordsman who has awarded medals from the kingdom, but I have no record under the sword. Such things are absolutely not allowed."
"Yili said it right. Maybe you will think our actions are a bit ridiculous, but our determination to prove our abilities will not be shaken by the eyes and opinions of the outside world. Commander Zhuo Yue, please perform your duties."
The high-level swordsman was speechless: "Not long ago, haven't you killed a ferocious beast?"
"That ferocious beast was killed by us and it was not done by both of us."
"The ferocious beast itself is stronger than the human swordsman. Even the mid-level swordsman who has experienced many battles is not 100% sure to cut a ferocious beast under the sword. The result of our joint efforts to kill a ferocious beast is enough to prove the value of your hard work over the years."
The girl named Ellie still shook her head stubbornly.
Seeing this scene, Zhuo Yue, the leader of the mercenary gang, had no choice but to say: "Then let's go, but we don't have much dry food. At most, one day, we should return to Bishui City. During this period, whether we encounter ferocious beasts or not, we should go back."
After saying that, he winked at the archer again. For a moment, the direction of the team's progress changed a little. Not only did he not go deeper, but he was vaguely heading towards the Outback Mountains.
There are already mid-level ferocious beasts in this area. Although there are three high-level swordsmen, including the young swordsman in the entire team, once they encounter mid-level ferocious beasts, the situation will still be very dangerous, and they have to start quitting the mountains.
"What's it? Come out!"
Just as the team was shifting direction secretly and heading towards the outer edge of the Lost Mountains without knowing it, the archer who was heading to explore the way suddenly shouted loudly, and the bow and arrow instantly aimed at a direction in the forest.
After a sudden change, the entire team immediately became alert. The remaining four mercenaries and the young swordsman immediately shrank the team together and protected the two girls, Yili and Nanna.
"Get out of the way, move out of the way, I am also a combatant."
This scene immediately caused dissatisfaction between Yili and Nanna, and they were about to step out of their guardianship and join the battle circle. For a moment, it caused some small commotion in the mercenary team.
Fortunately, the one who appeared in front of their team was not a ferocious beast, but a person.
A boy who looks only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The young man's clothes were a little damaged, but he could not see any embarrassing atmosphere. He walked out of the jungle, ignoring the aim of the middle-aged archer and the guards of the entire mercenary group, and walked by the mercenary group like a walk in the garden, as if this was not the extremely dangerous and dangerous ending mountain range, but his back garden.
After a while, the boy disappeared from the team's vision.
From beginning to end, the other party had never looked at the personnel of this mercenary group, as if the eight people in their entire team did not exist at all.
"call."
Seeing the boy disappear, the middle-aged archer waved slightly: "The alert is lifted."
Although the other party was just a teenager, the entire mercenary group did not have any intention of conflicting with the other party.
"That boy is so young, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?"
"Can he be the one who is training in the ending mountains alone? This is impossible!"
The few people in the mercenary group would not care about this sudden episode, but Ellie and Nanna were not regular mercenaries, and they couldn't help but become curious about the only person they had met since entering the mountains.
"It's a person who has experienced it in the mountains, and the experience has been quite long."
The person who replied was the leader Zhuo Yue: "Although his clothes have been cleaned, they have not been replaced for a long time. The same is true for shoes. They are full of the color of rotten branches and leaves, and their skin color. Most of the trees in the mountains are shrouded in dense forests all year round, and it is difficult to see the sunshine. His skin color is already a little white, and his body has a cold breath because he has been in the mountains for a long time..."
"This boy has been in the mountains for at least two months."
The middle-aged archer was the one who answered the conversation.
"Two months?"
Hearing this sentence, Ellie couldn't help but be stunned: "He has been in the mountains alone for two months?"
"How is it possible? The environment in the mountains is so harsh. Not to mention ferocious beasts, even insects, snakes, ants and rats are annoying. He looks so young, how could he stay in the forest for two months? He does not eat human food for two months, does not communicate with outsiders for two months, and stays in such a dark and dangerous forest for two months? This..."
"This is a true practitioner."
Zhuo Yue said in his mouth, with a hint of fear in his tone and admiration: "A person can survive in the environment of the End Mountains for two months without dying. He is definitely a real strong man."
At the end, ferocious beasts were rampant in the mountains, and on average, they might encounter a ferocious beast in one day. They lived alone in the mountains for two months. Not to mention ordinary ferocious beasts, they were afraid they had even experienced mid-level ferocious beasts. However, in this case, the young man actually survived.
Thinking of this, not only Ili and Nanna, but even the mercenaries who have been taking on these dangerous tasks all year round could not help but feel a little horror in their expressions.
"That boy is only sixteen or seventeen years old..."
"This must be a disciple of a master of kendo. Otherwise, why would he achieve such achievements at a young age?"
Several other mercenaries whispered.
Their entire mercenary group had two high-level swordsmen and three intermediate swordsmen. Unless necessary, they did not dare to stay in the End Mountains for a long time. The young man had this courage, but he naturally shocked the entire Rock Mercenary Group.
Eli looked at the direction where the boy disappeared, hesitated for a moment, a trace of determination appeared in her eyes, and suddenly said, "Let's go, let's go, continue to look for ordinary ferocious beasts. This time, Nanna and I must use our own strength to kill a ferocious beast. That boy can do this level even if he is several years younger than us, and we can definitely do it too!"
