Chapter 4 Wasteland Adventure Team (continued
"Captain Charlie, the demons appear frequently in front of us. If you go deeper, you may encounter the demons. I don't think we should go deeper." A middle-aged hunter dressed in high-level hunter outfit walked up to a burly warrior wearing heavy armor and said.
After thinking about it, they had already gained a lot of money in this wasteland adventure. If they were entangled by the demons, it would be a little bit unworthy. So they nodded and said, "That's right, I think so too. What do you all think?"
Since the captain has spoken, even if the rest of the people are unwilling to accept it, it is hard to object. After all, this is a team, and the captain has absolute prestige, and the captain is generally the one with the strongest and most experienced people.
Just as this adventure team was about to pack up and return, one of the hunters suddenly moved his ears and immediately crawled and pressed his ears to the ground. He closed his eyes and listened for a while: "A group of people are running in this direction, with messy steps. They should not be demons or beasts, but they look a bit like ordinary humans."
Charlie frowned and said, "Cleaning the traces, scattering and hiding, let's see who they are?"
After waiting for a while, a group of ragged humans stumbled into the eyes of the adventure team. When they saw the lake, they rushed over with cheers. Both men and women buried their heads in the water and drank them with no image.
Charlie was stunned. When did human refugees appear on the wasteland? He made a gesture, all the team members appeared, and their weapons surrounded the more than a hundred humans.
Suddenly, a group of ordinary humans crowded together, looking at the adventure team surrounding them tremblingly.
Seeing that nothing unusual, Charlie asked the team members to put away their weapons and stared at the group of people in a thick voice and said, "You are just ordinary people? How could you appear on this wasteland where the demons appear?"
At this time, an old man with a snow-white beard stood up in the crowd, bent down and said tremblingly: "Sir, we are villagers from Jinlin Village in the north of the wasteland, and were captured by the demons."
Charlie exchanged glances with his teammates. Although the demons occasionally go to human territory to grab things and kill people, they never take away people as slaves. However, they don’t look like lying when they look at these people.
"Why do the demons catch you? Since you catch you, how can you let you escape?" Charlie asked. It is obviously unlikely that these ordinary people want to escape from the demons' palms. Even if an ordinary demon tribe deals with more than a dozen or twenty ordinary humans, there is no problem at all.
"Go to this lord, the demons killed in heaven arrested us to threaten a human girl, saying that if he didn't follow him, he would kill one of us every day. Oh, poor that girl looks like a fairy in heaven, but now we have been released, and 80% of the girl has been stained by the demons killed in that day." The old man looked heartbroken and gritted his teeth when he talked about the demons.
The anger of more than 20 adventurers was immediately ignited, and they wanted to kill all the despicable demons immediately.
Charlie's eyes were also cold, but he was careful and thoughtful and soon felt something was wrong. He knew the cruelty of the demons. Even if the demons got the body of that girl, it would never be possible for these humans to leave. According to the nature of the demons, tens of them would kill all these useless chess pieces.
The rational Charlie was not dazzled by the surging blood. As a captain, he was burdened with the lives of more than 20 teammates. So he began to ask these humans over and over again what happened in the demon town, without letting go of any details.
When he heard the old man describe the human girl holding a snow-white zither, the entire adventure team members' expressions became a little strange.
Charlie hurriedly asked about the characteristics of this human girl. He asked everyone nothing. These rural villagers couldn't read a word. Apart from being beautiful, they couldn't find any other words to describe them like fairies.
"By the way, that girl's shoes are the white of the moon, and there is a big golden bird embroidered on it." At this moment, one of the villagers said, trembling with fear at that time, and did not dare to look up at all, but noticed the shoes under the girl's feet.
"What big bird? Is it a golden phoenix?" Charlie, who had always been calm, was excited and grabbed the villager's collar and asked.
"Phoenix... Phoenix? I haven't seen it before, and I don't know what it looks like." The villager was frightened by Charlie's wide eyes and his body trembled, thinking that he wouldn't have just left the wolf's nest and met a tiger again.
Charlie also knew that he had lost his composure. He drew the phoenix on the ground and asked the villagers.
"That's right, it's just such a big bird." The villagers swear to confirm with confidence when they saw the pattern.
Charlie stood up and gathered with his teammates, his expression becoming excited and serious.
"You have heard it too. If you guessed correctly, the human girl must be Fairy Yun from Golden Phoenix Pavilion. What do you think?" Charlie said.
"Captain, why not fight. If Fairy Yun is rescued, then if we can climb into the Golden Phoenix Pavilion, we have to give some advice from the Pavilion Master, then..." One of the magicians said with a tight grip on the staff. He didn't say anything. If Fairy Yun is favored, then the sky will be just around the corner for the rest of his life.
"Captain, we agree too." The two elves archers also spoke.
Soon, except for Charlie and the middle-aged hunter who did not express their opinions, the rest of the adventure team agreed.
"Moye, what do you think?" Charlie asked at the middle-aged hunter.
The middle-aged hunter shook his head and said, "I object that the demon clan is in a town, and even if it is small, it will have more than a hundred military guards. Moreover, an ordinary demon clan can match humans. We only have twenty-three people. No matter how strong we are, we cannot escape unscathed."
As soon as the middle-aged hunter's words fell, his teammates suddenly fell silent. They knew that Moye's words were correct, but no one expressed his intention to give up.
"Moye, if we attack and use the silver-level group escape magic scroll after saving people, how much success rate do you think we have?" At this time, Captain Charlie said lightly.
Silver-level group escape magic scroll? All teammates were stunned, and then looked at Charlie with envious and hot eyes.
The magic scroll is an extremely luxurious item. Not to mention the silver level, even the black iron level magic scroll can be thousands of gold coins at every turn. The silver level magic scroll is at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins at the auction venue, and the escape scroll of this level may cost more than one million gold coins.
"If there is a group escape magic scroll, the success rate can be increased to 70%. "Moye said, as long as he takes advantage of his unpreparedness and immediately uses the group escape magic scroll to escape immediately after saving Fairy Yun, there is still something to do.
Charlie nodded. Although a group escape magic scroll made him extremely painful, he understood the meaning of the three words "Golden Phoenix Pavilion". As long as fairy Yun was successfully rescued, they would become heroes. Not only did they rise in status, but if they get a martial arts secret book given to Jin Phoenix Pavilion, even a hundred silver-level magic scrolls will be compensated.
