In the dark jungle, sunlight occasionally shines through the thick dense forest.
This mercenary team continued to move forward, constantly hunting the surrounding wild beasts to obtain prey. .
Everything worked so well together.
"After you have successfully trained, we will be able to go deeper into the jungle and hunt stronger wild beasts in exchange for more wealth."
After saying that, the smile on the bearded man's face disappeared fleetingly.
Soon, he returned to his previous meticulous state.
The reason is simple.
He is the leader of this mercenary team and is responsible for the lives of all his brothers.
This wild forest is a paradise for wild beasts, not a safe place.
Entering the forest to hunt wild beasts is a dangerous matter, and there is no room for carelessness.
"Captain, please tell us where our destination is."
Not far away, a young man wearing silver armor with black secret lines on his forehead was asking with a smile.
He carried a silver spear on his back, and the shield in his hand reflected the cold light.
"This trip has no destination. The main purpose is to familiarize you with this dead forest and hone your cooperation."
"That's good!!" With the captain's words, the boy in silver armor smiled.
"Everyone, please be careful. We are about to enter the territory of the wild beast 'Flame Lion'. This Yunxiao-level guy is our opponent!"
"Over the years, many brothers have been killed by it." At this point, the bearded man's eyes dimmed.
"Don't be afraid! In the past, the captain was only a peak sky-level person, and he could even compete with it. Now, captain, you are also a strong Yunxiao-level person, so you are not afraid of it." The man in purple armor smiled, looking like he was not afraid at all.
"Be careful with your ship!"
Emphasizing it again, the bearded captain pulled out the sword from his back and looked prepared.
"There are still thirty kilometers, everyone, be careful!"
"Okay!" x43.
As soon as the captain gave the order, he saw the whole team unconsciously changing their formation.
From the previous fan shape, it became a gun shape.
The tip of the spear is naturally the captain who has just reached the Yunxiao level.
……
Not far away, a giant monster about two hundred meters in size was slowly standing up.
He sniffed hard with his big nose, and there was something wrong in the air.
There are humans! ! !
This cloud-level flaming lion's entire body was burning with boiling crimson flames, like a big furnace.
Extreme high temperatures are constantly radiating from its surface, causing the space to become distorted.
All the towering ancient trees that were close to it burned or left black marks, which looked extremely scary.
"Ouch!"
Sensing that the human aura was getting closer, the flaming lion raised its head and let out an angry roar, as if it wanted to frighten these guys who set foot on its territory at will.
"Captain, you are really a flaming lion at the level of Yunxiao. Now we are making a lot of money!!"
The eyes of a thin mercenary shone brightly. At this moment, he directly ignored the huge angry eyes of the opponent's flaming lion and said excitedly.
"Don't get excited, be careful!!" The bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately stood ready.
For him, the strength of this Yunxiao-level flaming lion is not something to be afraid of, but if he rushes into his own large group of camps, it will be very miserable.
"Ouch!!"
Just when the mercenary team was less than thirty kilometers away from the Flame Lion, the ground shook, and waves of heat crisscrossed the air.
"The Flame Lion is attacking, everyone shrinks their formation!!"
Before he finished speaking, a ball of crimson fire screamed and rushed towards the team.
"Kill!!"
Without any hesitation, the bearded captain clenched his two swords and charged forward.
The two sides fought fiercely together, with the rest of the team members assisting from the side, harassing the flaming lion's attack.
"You idiot, die!!" The rough and bearded man had strange movements, waving his two swords and slashing at the body of the flaming lion.
"Ouch!!!!"
Being suppressed and beaten, the flaming lion, as the overlord of one party, could not bear this kind of anger.
He burst out with angry howls, and the burning flames around the lion condensed into fireballs that continued to sweep towards the surroundings.
"Boom!!!"
For a time, countless ancient trees in the entire ancient forest fell.
A few black smoke rose from all around, creating a mess.
“Boom!!”
“Boom!!”
"..."
In the mercenary team, several sharp archers had serious expressions, and their hands moved like phantoms, shooting out streams of arrows one after another.
“Clang, Clang, Clang!!”
The sound of gold and iron intertwining could be heard endlessly, but unfortunately none of the arrows could break the flaming lion's defense.
Nothing else.
The gap between Tiantian level (star level) and Yunxiao level (cosmic level) is too huge and cannot be bridged by sharp weapons.
Despite this, these players are still shooting, trying to gain more opportunities for their captain.
"Bang bang!!"
However, this time, the flaming lion, which had been prepared for a long time, suddenly turned around during the fight with the captain. With a slight wave of its sharp lion claws burning with blazing flames, it shot away the arrows engraved with secret patterns. .
Fierce fighting is still going on.
Compared with wild beasts, the defense and physical strength of human warriors are somewhat behind.
And this flaming lion is a veteran strongman who has been in the Yunxiao level for a long time.
The bearded captain of the mercenary team had just been promoted to Yunxiao level.
Who is strong and who is weak is clearly reflected in the constant battles.
"Captain, this is not good!..."
Several team members who were harassing remotely looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.
In the ongoing battle, the Flame Lion became more and more courageous, while on the other hand, his own captain was losing ground.
Almost like the last straw that broke the camel's back, another thundering roar came from the distant jungle.
"Another Yunxiao-level flaming lion." Among the team members, a member of the team who was familiar with Yunxiao-level wild beasts trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.
As soon as these words came out.
Suddenly, all the members of the mercenary team looked at each other.
Fear, pallor, despair...a series of complex emotions surged into their hearts instantly.
Especially the captain, who had consumed a lot of energy in the battle, was even more desperate.
It is so difficult to deal with just one Yunxiao-level flaming mad lion. If another Yunxiao-level one comes, it will be difficult to deal with it.
Then their mercenary team will almost be wiped out here.
Such an ending was something he could never see.
"Ouch!!"
"Ouch!!"
Facing the support from his wife, this fiercely fighting flaming lion responded excitedly.
"Crackling!!"
"Boom boom boom!!"
The ancient trees broke and the earth trembled. A flaming lion whose size was not inferior to the previous ones appeared in the sight of the mercenaries. "Ouch!!"
The two flaming lions came together and rubbed each other for a while, and then the latter licked the wounds of the former.
Moreover, from time to time, he would look at the humans gathered opposite him with a pair of cold eyes full of murderous intent, his anger constantly building up.
As one of the overlords of this forest, the Yunxiao-level beast's IQ is already quite high.
Now, her beloved husband has been hurt, so he wants to pay with blood! !
"Integrate the team and carry it forward with strong physical fitness!"
As soon as he had time to issue this order, the bearded captain pounced directly.
He wants to attract attention and buy time for the players.
A bloody battle, exposed at the drop of a hat!
On a thick branch in the distance, a tall middle-aged man stood there, quietly watching the scene of near-massacre in front of him.
Two cosmic-level wild beasts were far beyond what a cosmic-level warrior with a group of stellar-level beasts could defeat.
Just like a tiger with a group of lambs, how can it possibly defeat two tigers?
Looking at the team members who were being slaughtered, Lin Ye could not help but think of the scenes in front of Jinyun Mountain——
"Dragon Breath, Long Sword, Ling Xiao..."
Lin Ye lowered his eyebrows and murmured in a low voice, as if he was recalling the heroes who passed away.
Not far away, the one-sided slaughter was continuing.
Under the combined force of the two cosmic-level wild beasts, the members of the mercenary team suffered huge casualties like chopping melons and vegetables.
Almost
"Kill! Kill!!"
"Kill them and avenge the sacrificed team members."
Under the desperate situation, all the mercenary team members burst out with unprecedented strength and attacked like crazy one by one.
But their strength, compared with the Yunxiao-level desolate beasts, is a bit like beating an egg against a stone.
Therefore, during the battle, the number of people became smaller and smaller.
Just when the last few bloodstained team members, led by the bearded man, were struggling against the two flaming lions, Lin Ye finally took action.
Deep in the deep ancient trees, a ghostly figure appeared in front of the remaining mercenary team at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"Ouch!!"
Facing the two mad lions that kept roaring at him, he just glanced at them lightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, like a sickle wielded by the devil.
The next moment, a coercion originating from a powerful consciousness surged away like the sky was falling, absorbing people's hearts and souls.
"Woooooooo!!!"
Due to the pressure, the two flaming lions fell to the ground, their whole bodies twitching.
Although Lin Ye's consciousness and will are not considered top-notch in the sea of illusions, they are still as powerful as those of ordinary immortal gods.
There is no way a small Yunxiao-level desolate beast can fight against it.
With just one glance, Lin Ye had already killed two wild beasts that were no more than cosmic-level.
Next, his actions deeply shocked everyone.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Ye actually began to collect wild beast materials, without any trace of the strong demeanor he had before.
No one would have thought of it.
Such a 'Lord level' strong man would actually do such a despicable act.
At this time, after the surviving mercenary team members looked at each other, they all involuntarily moved their eyes away, not daring to look.
"Sir, thank you!!"
After waiting, Lin Ye dissected the two Yunxiao Desolate beasts in three strokes.
The bearded captain with a broken arm staggered over and bowed deeply to Lin Ye.
The reason is simple.
If it weren't for Lin Ye's generous action, they would probably have been eaten by two wild beasts.
It’s hard to thank you enough for saving your life!
Secondly.
That is the people of the Xueluo world, who have the ultimate worship of powerful power.
Especially a mercenary team like them, who licked blood from their swords, walked side by side with death time and time again.
"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning." Lin Ye waved his hand gently and said with some indifference.
It seemed that the two Yunxiao-level desolate beasts he had just dealt with were just an unintentional move on his part.
……
After resting for about an hour. Lin Ye set off with the remaining mercenaries of this team.
Their destination was the Black Stone Territory, the destination Lin Ye wanted to go to.
Here, he has to find a way to obtain such a rare thing as the Blood Crystal.
"Sir, are you strong enough to dominate a party?
May I ask where you are the lord and why you came to this ancient forest to adventure! ”
While walking, the bearded captain asked curiously.
"I'm from **World City, and I'm going to visit another place. I passed by here on the way, and I just did it casually to save you."
Lin Ye said with a smile. This was something he had already compiled and memorized.
"Wow! World City!!"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, a young team member exclaimed, his young face full of shock...and yearning! !
The rest of the team members also looked at Lin Ye.
In their perception, World City is a higher-level place than a leader.
The place is not only full of prosperity and excitement, but more importantly, there are countless experts gathered there.
Instead of being like them, licking blood from the knife edge every day and working hard to survive, they can only get enough food and clothing.
While walking, Lin Ye intentionally or unintentionally chatted with these people about the Black Stone Territory.
With this information about the indigenous humans, he had a general understanding of the Black Stone Territory and dozens of surrounding territories.
Similarly, Lin Ye had one more plan in mind.
……
On the wide forest road, Lin Ye was advancing rapidly with a group of wounded soldiers.
While walking on the road, they chatted comfortably.
There has never been a time when entering the forest. The mercenary team was so relaxed as now, and their body and mind were in a comfortable state.
Nothing else.
With a super master like Lin Ye accompanying them, even if they walked sideways in this wild forest, no wild beast would dare to harass them.
Even those who don't have long eyes will be killed by Lin Ye's glare.
The speed of 10,000 kilometers per hour is still within the acceptable range for these seriously injured mercenaries.
"Master Ye, we are approaching our Lord Xuanshi City just ahead. We still have about three hours to go."
In mid-air, the one-armed mercenary captain pointed at the outline of the city in the distance with his only remaining hand, speaking in the dialect of the Xueluo world.
"Okay, let's speed up!!" Lin Ye's fluent dialect sounded very friendly to them.
"What speed?" A young mercenary asked in confusion.
"Literally!" Lin Ye smiled faintly.
The next moment, a vast and boundless power of thought spread out, surrounding everyone.
Of course, all the mental power is applied to their clothes and weapons.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ye led a group of people and flew toward the distant city at an increasingly faster speed.
"Hoo ho ho!!!"
Amidst the fierce roaring wind, the group of people traveled through the air at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour.
