Chapter 1783 Demigods
Taocun Town, a small town affiliated with Dan City, is located near Dan City, the largest city in Dan Zong. Although Taocun Town is small, its prosperity is no less than that of an ordinary city. The unique thing about this town is that it is a very large post town. Due to its strategic location and developed transportation, businessmen traveling between Dan and Chengdu will stop here, making this small town increasingly prosperous.
Liu Jun and Gao Ming were teleported by Zhinao 2 to a place five miles away from Taocun Town. They rushed to the gate of this small city at an alarming speed.
Only when they entered the city, something happened, because the guards at the city gate saw the two of them and immediately stood in front of them.
"Who is it?" the guard asked seriously, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand, very vigilant.
Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, and he felt strange why among so many people coming and going, they were the only ones who were stopped.
"Mercenary union mercenaries, come here to perform the bounty mission"
Gao Ming took out an exquisite badge and wore it on his chest. This badge symbolized that they were members of the mercenary union. .
The guard on the side caught a glimpse of this badge, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Businessmen coming and going would use mercenaries to guard the convoy, and after he had been here for a long time, he naturally understood what kind of badge and corresponding What kind of powerful mercenary is that?
"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you, but please ask your companion to show his badge." The guard bowed politely and said.
The guard's tone was full of respect, because the badge worn by Gao Ming was the symbol of the highest-level mercenary in the mercenary union, and represented unparalleled strength and experience.
To obtain this badge from the mercenary union, one must have impeccable performance in terms of task completion, success rate and personal strength, and it is said that there is a very harsh assessment.
Liu Jun frowned and took out a badge and wore it on his chest.
This badge was given to him by Xuanyuan Qidao. He once told him that traveling around the world with this badge would bring some convenience.
It’s just that he has never used it before, and he doesn’t know what it does.
When the guard caught a glimpse of the badge on Liu Jun's chest, he immediately showed a shocked look and his eyes were a little dull.
Gao Ming also noticed something was wrong, his eyes fell on the badge on Liu Jun's chest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Because the badge Liu Jun was wearing was actually the guest badge of the mercenary union, and only a few people in the entire union owned it.
The holder of this badge not only enjoys a high status in the mercenary world, but also possesses amazing strength.
But something is wrong on this occasion. He just said that they are here to perform a bounty mission. His top mercenary badge makes sense, but the guest badge is a bit far-fetched. Anyone with such a badge is Who can ask the dominating boss to carry out the mission?
The guard who came back to his senses secretly glanced at the badge on Liu Jun's chest, and immediately realized that the two people in front of him were definitely real bosses and should not be provoked, and they did not bother to think about whether they were coming or not. Performing tasks.
"Two adults, this must be your first time here. I'll find someone to guide you two. If you need anything, just let him do it," the guard said flatteringly.
Forget about Ke Qing, usually those top mercenaries are all superior beings, and he can't even get involved. It's not easy for him to meet the real bosses, or two of them. If he doesn't show off, then what will happen? It's a fool.
"Captain, let me do it." Another tall and thin guard was not stupid. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Two adults, please."
Liu Jun looked at the guard captain, frowned slightly, and asked doubtfully: "Um, let me ask, why did you stop us alone, when I don't think you stopped anyone else?"
Guard When the captain heard this, he suddenly panicked, his legs were trembling, and his knees almost gave way and he knelt on the ground. He hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, villains don't stop other people. It's just because of your noble status that I specially want to help you." Let’s open the way.”
Seeing the guard captain's face pale, Liu Jun knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, so he could only comfort him with a wry smile: "Don't be afraid, I have no other intention, I just asked out of curiosity, just tell the truth"
The guard captain was slightly relieved when he heard this, but he was still frightened. He took out a mirror and handed it to Liu Jun: "Take a look."
Liu Jun took the mirror and saw his gray and scarred image in the mirror, and immediately understood what the guard was thinking.
There are still blood stains on his clothes, and his haggard face looks exhausted. It seems that he has experienced a fierce battle. With his current dress, if he is not stopped, it can only be said that the guard is blind. .
"Okay, I understand. See you later." After Liu Jun said that, he and Gao Ming followed the tall and thin guard towards the city.
When the two of them walked into the city, the guard captain looked at their backs and breathed a sigh of relief. He was filled with emotion and was secretly glad that he was lucky.
He has seen those big shots, and most of them have bad tempers. Usually, if you offend them, you will end up in a bad way. He was really lucky this time.
As the two of them went deeper, the prosperous scene of Taocun Town gradually unfolded before their eyes. There are a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the street, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.
People here were a little surprised to see the guards leading the way respectfully. Whenever Liu Jun and Gao Ming walked by, they would cast curious and awed glances.
The two of them walked and looked at the town. The residents of the town live an ordinary and simple life. The vendors on both sides of the street sell various products, attracting passers-by. Liu Jun and Gao Ming walked among them, as if they were in a peaceful picture. "Hey, little brother, let me ask you something." Liu Jun looked up at the tall and thin guard and asked.
When the tall and thin guard heard Liu Jun’s question, he immediately became nervous and answered cautiously: "You said, I know everything I know, and I can tell you everything."
"Here is What happened?" Liu Jun showed a kind smile and continued to ask.
The tall and thin guard hesitated for a moment, as if he was weighing whether he should tell Liu Jun about this. Finally, he made up his mind and answered honestly: "To be honest with you, sir, a large number of precious medicinal materials were sent here from the demigods a few days ago, saying that they wanted to exchange elixirs with the Alchemy Sect, but the Alchemy Sect seemed a little unwilling. , so I just stayed here first.”
“As you know, those demigods are quite savage and can be tough. They have fought with our mercenaries several times, and we can’t do it at all. Can’t control it.”
The tall and thin guard's tone was full of helplessness, with a trace of worry on his face.
The demi-gods are very powerful. Although they do not have godly status, many of them can reach the sub-god level or even the main god level through brute force.
Although the demigods almost do not have such powerful people as the half-step god king, there are quite a few who are at the peak of the main god level.
Although these guards are elites, their power is limited and it is indeed difficult to deal with the provocation of the demigods.
Liu Jun frowned, feeling depressed in his heart. He had a premonition that he would have a conflict with this group of demigods in the coming time.
He is like the Holy Body of Contradictions. He can conflict with people wherever he goes. The key is that many things are not what he wants.
“Don’t worry, those demigods basically work at night, sleep during the day, and rarely come out to disturb people’s dreams. They all live in one inn. I will take you to another inn here. You can rest there first. Although the environment there is a little rough and not as big as that inn, it is quieter and you can have a good rest." Seemingly sensing Liu Jun's worry, the tall guard said immediately.
The guard actually had an impulse in his heart, which was to take these two bosses to the inn where the demigods lived, and borrow their hands to deal with the lawless demigods. However, he also knows that although this may be successful, big shots don't like to be used, and once discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.
Hearing the arrangement of the tall and thin guard, Liu Jun nodded slightly to express his agreement. He is indeed a little weak now and will need some time to recover.
Moreover, he also understands that he cannot avoid it all the time, and those enemies will definitely stick to him like dog-skin plaster, so he needs to recharge his batteries and prepare for the upcoming conflict.
During this period of experience, Liu Jun felt unprecedented pressure. He knows that only by making himself stronger can he protect those around him and achieve his goals. And this requires him to constantly adapt, challenge, and overcome the difficulties at hand.
Not walking for too long, Liu Jun and Gao Ming followed the tall and thin guard to another inn. It was indeed smaller than the one he saw before, but the quiet environment gave him a sense of comfort. At this moment, what he needs is this tranquility to repair his tired body and mind.
At the same time, the inn where the demigods were located seemed like a storm was brewing.
In the spacious inn hall, a dozen burly men sat at rough wooden tables. Their bodies were covered with thick body hair, their muscles were well defined, and they looked extremely strong. Their clothes are simple and plain, most of them just wear a skirt and their upper body is exposed. Only the elders called priests are different.
The priest was wearing a brown robe, holding a strange-shaped crutch in his hand, and his face looked as if it had gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes. He spoke slowly, with a hoarse voice: "Turu, be patient, I have already asked the Danzong. During this time, the daughter of their head has disappeared, and the entire Danzong is anxiously looking for her, and there is no time for him to pay attention."
Tulu, the leader of the demigods, was responsible for escorting the tributes. His strength had reached the peak of the main god level.
Hearing what the priest said, Tulu frowned and looked a little anxious: "Then what should we do? Just wait like this?"
The priest smiled and shook his head, and said deeply : "Don't worry, Tulu, we will get the respect we deserve. It's just that right now, Danzong is in chaos, and we need to give them some time to deal with housework. During this period, you have to protect the tributes. This is our The face of the demigods cannot be compromised at all.”
“Don’t worry, we will protect the tribute and wait for the day when Dan Zong comes.” Tulu’s eyes widened and he nodded vigorously.
The priest glanced at the tribesmen present, frowned, and suddenly asked: "By the way, where did that kid from Tuku go? Don't let him cause trouble anymore. It's not as easy to be too arrogant here as in our tribe. Big loss.”
When Tulu heard this, he immediately stood up and looked around, but couldn't find Tuku. A trace of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
Tuku is his biological brother. He followed him out this time and caused him a lot of trouble, for which he was punished a lot. However, Tuku remained stubborn, and when he arrived at Danzong's territory, he still struggled like that.
When he thought about this, he became angry. The custom of their tribe was to respect others, but Tuku didn't care about it at all. Not to mention anything else, this inn was enough to house all their clan members. However, his younger brother Tu Tu was so domineering that he kicked out other guests staying in the hotel and occupied all the rooms here. Not only that, he also went to the streets to find trouble at every turn. As a result, in the past few days, not even a single person could be seen on the road at night.
Tulu knew that such behavior had caused dissatisfaction among many people, but he could not persuade Tulu to correct it. He can only try to make up for the mistakes Tuku made so as not to cause greater conflicts.
"I will find Tulu and tell him about the situation here and let him understand that he cannot continue like this. This is the territory of Danzong. If we continue to be so arrogant, I am afraid we will cause greater trouble." Tulu Looking at the priest, he said in a serious tone.
The priest nodded slightly, "We cannot let Tuku's behavior affect the reputation of our tribe. You all must be vigilant. Here, we must abide by the rules and live in harmony with the locals. Otherwise, we will be in trouble, and Dan Zong will also do it for Reputation, no longer helps us”
