Chapter 40 Mercenaries are like wolves
"A Yu, are you going to find the people from the Zhuofeng Mercenary Group?" Chu Yao hesitated a little.
Lin Muyu asked: "Sister Chu Yao, what do you think?"
Chu Yao frowned: "Originally, it would be best for you and me to go to Lanyan City quietly, but there are more and more mercenaries chasing us in the past few days, and you have suffered such severe injuries. I am worried that if we meet a group of mercenaries, we may not be our opponents. Zhuofeng Mountain is less than a hundred miles away, so we should go there, right?"
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded. His injuries were indeed not fully healed, and his strength could only be less than 70%. If he really met a strong man like Ye Liang and Guan Yang, it would be really in danger.
...
In just half a day, the horse quickly arrived at Zhuofeng Mountain, which is a peak located in the volcanic belt. You can even see the magnificent scene of the volcanic eruption in the distance. When the two of them came to the foot of the mountain, they met several minions. Lin Muyu took out the letter from Lei Baizhan and was taken up the mountain. The first update was made
Rather than saying it is a mercenary group, it is better to say that it is a thief group gathered in the mountain village. Each mercenary looks a little bit military, and looks bandit-like. Seeing it makes Lin Muyu and Chu Yao feel vaguely uneasy.
"The leader is in the hall, please, please." A minion said respectfully.
Lin Muyu took off Liaoyuan, pressed the hilt of the sword, and entered the hall carefully, but saw dozens of chairs lined up on both sides, all the leaders, and in the position of the regiment commander was a middle-aged mercenary about 35 years old, with gleam in his eyes.
"You are Lin Muyu?" His lips raised. Please come with more and faster chapters.
"Yes, you are Lei Qianhai, the leader of the Shaofeng Mercenary Group?"
"Yes, it's me."
Lei Qianhai walked off the chair and laughed: "Young brother can actually kill Hua Tian with one hand. Hua Wan's father and son who have been majestic for many years are indeed heroic teenagers. Come on, please sit down. Are you all tired? Come on, prepare for dinner!"
Lin Muyu bowed and refused respectfully: "My senior sister and I were chased all the way. I dare not bother the leader too much. I won't eat this food. We plan to go on the road immediately. If possible, I hope the leader can send some brothers to accompany us all the way to protect us. I can pay a generous enough reward."
"What did the young hero say?"
Lei Qianhai slapped his chest and said, "Brother, let me protect you. If I, Lei Qianhai, receive your reward, what kind of person will I become? Since the young hero is unwilling to stay overnight, that's fine. I will choose the most agile 100 people on the mountain to accompany the young hero. Update it as soon as possible."
"Hundreds?"
Lin Muyu was shocked: "No need to have that many, 20 people are enough."
"Haha, Young Master is so polite. Come on, select 20 elite soldiers to set off immediately, and prepare enough food, water and horses. Be sure to safely escort Young Master Lin to the place he wants to go."
As he said that, Lei Qianhai suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Muyu and Chu Yao with a burning look, "It is said that Hua Tian lost his life in order to seize a book called "The Medicine God Book". This Medicine God Book should have been taken back by the young hero, right?"
Chu Yao was stunned. Updated as soon as possible
Lin Muyu said lightly: "It was raining heavily when we escaped, and I was injured again, blood and rain mixed together. When I remembered it, the Medicine God Book had been soaked and completely turned into a pile of straw slurry, so... there was no Medicine God Book in this world."
"Oh, that's it..."
Lei Qianhai smiled slightly, but the loss in his eyes still did not escape Lin Muyu's eyes. He looked at the long sword in Lin Muyu's hand again, his eyes lit up, and said, "This sword... seems to be a treasure that has been refined. I wonder what its name is?"
Lin Muyu secretly cried in her heart, "Thunder Qianhai is not a good person, it is obviously a bandit." Please come to more and faster chapters.
"This sword is called 'Liaoyuan', and it was given to you by Ye Liang, one of the Seven Martial Saints."
"Oh? Ye Liang gave it?"
Lei Qianhai narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid... Ye Liang's character is not so generous, even the sword that protects his body is given to others. This... isn't there any misunderstanding, right?"
Lin Muyu smiled faintly: "Then let me tell you the truth, it is Ye Liang's relics."
"What? Ye Liang is dead!?" Lei Qianhai was shocked and murmured: "Ye Liang, who is the third-ranked Seven Martial Saint, is he actually dead. Oh my God, is he dead at the hands of the young hero?"
Lin Muyu nodded: "He wants to kill me, but I was forced to take his life."
A hint of horror flashed through Lei Qianhai's eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at the senior mercenary corps on his seat, saying loudly: "This hike is rugged and there are so many dangers. Xing Lan, are you escorting Lin Shaoxia all the way north?"
In the crowd, a warrior holding an iron spear stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Yes, the commander!"
Lei Qianhai smiled slightly: "Shaoxia Lin, Xing Lan is the best shooter among our Zhufeng Mercenary Group, and his horse fighting ability is second to none. He has the strength of a level 46 war master. I believe he can help Lin Shaoxia and Miss Chu overcome the difficulties!"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath: "Thank you, Captain Lei!"
Chu Yao looked at him, a trace of worry flashed through her eyes, and how could Lin Muyu not be worried? The greed in Lei Qianhai's eyes was too obvious. The more people he sent, the more he wanted the treasure in Lin Muyu's hand. Even Lei Qianhai's eyes looked at Chu Yao were full of greed. The mercenary leader seemed to have ambition to Chu Yao, the great beauty. Updated at the first time
The reason why he didn't take action on the mountain was probably because he had to take into account the reputation of the Zhuofeng Mercenary in the mercenary world, and taking action at the foot of the mountain could shift the blame to the rest of the people, right?
This is also Lin Muyu's only chance. After going down the mountain, he may still have a chance to survive when facing 21 strong men, but when facing more than 2,000 mercenaries on the mountain, he will have no chance of winning.
...
Lei Qianhai also prepared a horse for Chu Yao, but it looked sick. Then, 21 mercenaries, including Xing Lan, got on the horse, but they didn't bring much food and water, which was enough to prove that they didn't want to travel for too long. Perhaps they were planning to take action when they arrived at the foot of Zhuofeng Mountain.
"I'm not far away to send it!" Lei Qianhai clasped his fists and laughed.
Lin Muyu bowed back and returned the greeting, held Liaoyuan Sword tightly, and rode his horse away with Chu Yao. The 21 mercenaries behind him immediately followed him and a group of people roared down the mountain.
After getting off Zhuofeng Mountain, Chu Yao's horse could not run any longer. It was a sick horse. Lin Muyu also thought of Lei Qianhai's vicious intention. As long as Chu Yao couldn't walk, he would not be able to walk any further. If the two rode together, they would definitely not be able to run away.
His eyes were accidentally swept over a group of mercenaries one by one. The strongest person in this group was Xing Lan, who was the level 46 war master. There were also several war sects of more than 30 levels. Most of the rest were war spirits or generals, which was not afraid. However, what made Lin Muyu secretly complain was that each of the people had bows and arrows hanging next to each of the horses, which made him completely lose the idea of escaping. Either kill these people, or they would leave Chu Yao, Liaoyuan Sword and his own lives.
...
"Xiaoxia Lin, I wonder what classics are recorded in the Medicine God Book?" Xing Lan suddenly asked.
"I don't know, I haven't seen the things from my master."
"Oh, so that's it."
Xing Lan looked into the distance and said, "There are many swift wolves living in Liefeng Ridge ahead. These swift wolves are rampant at night. I don't think it's better for me to sleep in the open at night under Liefeng Ridge for a night and set off again tomorrow during the day. How about it?"
"Under the Liefeng Ridge?"
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "No need, let's go over Liefeng Ridge at night, otherwise more and more mercenaries will be chasing us. I'm also worried about any accidents that will happen to your people. Update it as soon as possible."
"That's it..." Xing Lan's eyes flashed with murderous intent and said with a smile: "Okay, just cross the Liefeng Ridge and turn over. There are many people in us, and those swift wolves should not dare to attack, otherwise they will have to collapse. Hahaha... By the way, young hero, is the Medicine God Book completely soaked? It should be a piece of words left behind?"
"It's all rotten, I can't see a word clearly, and it's covered in blood."
"So that's what it is..."
Xing Lan wanted to ask something else, but Lin Muyu had already urged the horse to go away. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Yao's slender waist, carried him into his arms, and moved forward faster.
Chu Yao felt warm, but she whispered: "Ayu, they are going to do it."
"Yeah, I know."
Lin Muyu lowered his voice and said, "Once they take action, you will immediately sprinkle a bottle of fresh breeze drunk. I will resist them. Their cultivation is far inferior to Ye Liang. The effect of the medicine should be able to be exerted quickly, but before they take action, we cannot do it. After all, we are not sure that they will really harm us and cannot kill a good person by mistake."
"Um."
...
The two of them rode slowly and were quickly caught up. Five mercenaries were on the right, five mercenaries were in front, and five were on the left, and there was no one behind. They directly surrounded the two of them, and the signs of attack became more and more obvious.
"Young hero, the gathering place of Xunwolf is coming soon!" Xing Lan laughed.
"So what?" Lin Muyu asked coldly.
"They have been hungry for a long time." Xing Lan's smile became stronger: "The young hero should know how to cut flesh and feed the wolf, right? Hahaha, they are really hungry..."
Around him, a group of mercenaries took out their weapons. Several of them had already pulled the longbow and pointed directly at Lin Muyu. Xing Lan even raised his iron spear and laughed: "Lin Muyu, your head is worth 100,000 gold coins, don't blame us!"
"Do it!"
Lin Muyu said lightly, and Chu Yao quickly poured the breeze on the grass.
At the same time, the green gourd's martial soul penetrated the body and condensed into a complete gourd shape to cover the two horses. The black tortoise shell also formed for a week, blocking the arrows with "papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa
Xing Lan soared into the sky, holding an iron spear with both hands, and his martial soul penetrated his body. Ice cones surged from the iron spear, and landed on the black tortoise shell with a thousand pounds of force!
"Bang!"
The ice crystal shattered and Xing Lan was bounced out, but Lin Muyu was not feeling well. He was beaten to death with one blow, and he raised his hand and threw the magic sound knife. With the scream, the two mercenaries quickly screamed and died.
Chapter completed!
