Chapter 10 The Fatal Encounter
The air was still filled with the atmosphere of fighting, and the mercenaries had begun to disperse one after another. A simple search mission turned into a fierce battle. The living mercenaries were secretly grateful, and some were mourning for their dead comrades.
"Since everyone is fine, the work is on!"
Ron's mercenary team was lucky to have no casualties. After they were repaired on the spot, they decided not to return to Baiyue City. In the fierce beast tide just now, many fourth-level and fifth-level monsters died, and their fur and crystal cores were quite valuable. The team would not give up on such an opportunity. Many mercenaries have begun to return to the edge of the Black Forest and began to explore the lost treasure along the traces of the beast tide.
The road was in a mess, with the scattered beasts and some broken weapons, all within the scope of the mercenary team's treasure hunt. In half a day, the mercenary team was lucky. They harvested several furs from fourth-level monsters and a crystal core. Most of the other crystal cores were picked up by the mercenaries from the past.
Wealth and honor are sought in danger, they have really fulfilled it.
The danger in the Black Forest cannot be lifted. The injured monsters are hidden in the corner to heal their wounds. Once someone enters their alert range, a fight will inevitably be inevitable. The injured monsters are always more dangerous, so the mercenaries are becoming more careful and try to choose a wider road.
Even so, Ron and the others experienced several attacks of beasts, and spent several battles without any danger, but were finally trapped by a fifth-level monster.
It was a Feng Leopard that could launch a whirlwind ranged attack. Fortunately, the Feng Leopard was not yet adult, because the adult Feng Leopard was a sixth-level monster. Even so, the team was in trouble. In the previous few battles, the magician had just consumed a lot of magic power. When he was meditating and recovering, the Feng Leopard appeared.
Ron cursed loudly, it was really time for this Fengleopard to come.
This cunning wind leopard followed Ron and the others for a long time, and the attack time was just right. It was the broadcast moment after Ron and the others fought, and the magician who could attack ranged was also in a weak state.
Encountering a monster that moves quickly and has a ranged attack. When the long-range attack of his own team loses its attack power, Ron and the others can only quickly form a defensive team, guard the mage in the middle, and rely on the sniping of the elf shooter to start the offensive and defensive battle with Feng Bao.
"Arrowman, left. Zhuo Dong, pay attention to his right hand!" Ron shouted loudly, carrying out a arduous defensive battle.
This battle put the mercenary team in an unfavorable position from the beginning. Feng Bao's agility was beyond Ron and the others' expectations. Their attacks fell one after another, but instead added many wounds to themselves. When Feng Bao found that the attack of the only threatening archer seemed to only bring a little damage, its attacks rushed more and more. At this time, the pressure was placed on Zhuo Dong.
"Look at me," the hot-blooded boy shouted and rushed forward.
Zhuo Dong's fighting spirit was once again stimulated to the strongest level. His long sword began to stab at Feng Bao's weak point from a tricky angle. With the assistance of Ron and the archer, Zhuo Dong barely blocked the attack with the bursting fighting spirit. Zhuo Dong's practice in the past few days finally achieved an effect. The combination of level five fighting spirit and skills completely showed a level five warrior in front of Ron and the others. Attack and defense, Zhuo Dong became more and more skillful. Before he knew it, the long sword attached to the holy fighting spirit had gradually wrapped around a stream of black air.
Usually, Zhuo Dong obeys Ron's warnings and usually hides the dark fighting spirit very well, and will not let others know their dual fighting spirit attributes easily. However, at this moment, it is in the vast black forest. In addition, in the face of dangerous moments, Zhuo Dong gradually released the dark fighting spirit that reached level five for the first time. On his long sword, the two fighting spirits of sacred and dark are entangled with each other, adding scars to Feng Bao's body. The long sword was waving in the air, as if there was a sound of wind and thunder.
Seeing this, Ron on the side couldn't help but smack his tongue. He didn't expect that Zhuo Dong had made such a state of progress. In time, he could face a wind leopard alone.
Just as the team was gradually out of danger, Zhuo Dong's movements slowed down, and the fighting spirit began to dissipate. Ron immediately understood that it was Zhuo Dong's fighting spirit not enough to support such a long time. Just when Ron wanted to come forward to help, Feng Bao was more keenly aware of this situation. He got rid of it and rushed to the back of Zhuo Dong.
Ron jumped over, and Feng Bao flashed, and his bloody mouth went towards Zhuo Dong's back and waist. Zhuo Dong's new power had not yet developed, and his old power had already been exhausted. He could not escape Feng Bao's attack.
"Oh no," Ron was filled with regret and shouldn't have been careless.
But a fireball hit Feng Bao heavily, resolving Feng Bao's attack.
Ron was overjoyed and looked at the meditating mage. Unexpectedly, the two mages were still resting there, and there were other people who took action.
As expected, a mage flashed out of a corner of the jungle, and the fireball was emitted from him. When the Feng Leopard saw someone appear, he was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that there was only one person, he rushed up angrily.
Then it felt a chill in its chest, its eyes turned dizzy, and it fell heavily to the ground, and it stopped moving for a moment.
Ron saw a warrior pulling his sword out of Feng Bao's neck. The warrior appeared on the battlefield almost instantly. He killed Feng Bao with a lightning strike. After drawing out the sword, he glanced at Ron and looked at Zhuo Dong again. There was no emotion in his eyes. Then he stood still, his thin body was covered in his robe, like a javelin.
The mercenary who came back to his senses from the dangerous situation knew that someone would help at this moment. Ron put away his weapons and said to the javelin-like warrior: "Thank you for your help!"
The man did not answer, and several people walked out of the jungle again, and the leader was the young man who called himself Jin'an who Ron and the others had seen before.
Seeing this, Jin'an smiled and said to Ron: "It just happened to be passed by, and the help is not worth mentioning!"
He turned to Zhuo Dong again and said, "It's amazing that this little brother can face the attack of a wind leopard alone so young."
Zhuo Dong said a few words of politeness, and Ron's face next to him was changing.
It turned out that Ron realized that Jin'an and his group did not seem to have passed by by chance. They actually set off at this urgent moment, thinking that they had a different purpose.
During the battle just now, the voice must have been heard far away. These people showed no sign of rapid movement in their speech. It is very likely that they had been waiting here for a long time before waiting for this critical moment and took a blow.
If it was to compete for Feng Bao, it shouldn't be so. Ron saw the javelin-like warrior's hand, Feng Bao was not worth mentioning at all. Apart from Storm, the most attractive thing about this mercenary team is Zhuo Dong, who is clear at a glance.
"There is a genius around you, which is more annoying than bringing a peerless beauty." Ron felt such annoyance for the first time.
Ron didn't know whether they were kind-hearted or had ulterior motives. If the other party forced him to take Zhuo Dong away, that would be bad. They had been hiding in Baiyue City for five years and were about to wait for Zhuo Dong to become an adult.
It is said that the adult Zhuo Dong will have a leap in strength. At that time, Ron and his people's mission and the entrusted brothers will be completed.
But if something happened before this, then the five years of hidden life would be in vain. Ron comforted himself that he should have thought too much, maybe the other party was just curious.
Jin An said again: "We actually have a while here." Ron raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said nothing.
Jin'an continued, "I originally thought that you should be able to deal with this monster, but we didn't dare to disturb you." Jin'an paused, "Later, we saw that the mage among them had exhausted their magic power, so we dared to help. In fact, this monster was exhausted with your efforts, so we could knock it down smoothly."
When Ron saw the person who protected him in his language, he quickly accumulated a gratitude on his face and kept saying thanks. However, he felt relieved. The other party was so polite, he must not have come with malicious intentions.
Both sides were respectful and the atmosphere was harmonious. Ron knew that their purpose was Zhuo Dong. If it was not malicious, it would be better. The talks would start in a while. Ron and the others survived a crisis, and Jin An also waited until the opportunity to approach Ron and the others, and each achieved their goals, without any disagreement.
-----------------------------------------------------
At one end of the Black Forest, a scene appeared in front of a black-robed mage, clearly transmitting the encounter between Ron and Jin An and others. The mage was the person next to Martin, the third prince of Baria. He secretly looked at the scene for a while until Ron and Jin An and others left together, and then waved their hands and closed the magic circle.
"I didn't expect them to come," the mage said to himself, "They actually met Zhuo Dong, and this matter must be known to the adults."
The mage muttered something, and a formation appeared in front of him. He took a step forward and disappeared on the edge of the Black Forest.
