As soon as Ruian finished speaking, all the mercenaries turned their attention to the captain.
The eyes of the mercenaries outside the Tiger Mercenary Group were full of evil. If it was true as Ruian said, the Tiger Mercenary Group had a method of communication, but at such a dangerous moment, they did not use it, which is really too much.
The captain was stared at numbly by everyone. He was still hesitating whether to take it out now. Because their leader Qifeituo said that he should wait until he sees the enemy and is in danger before using it. Now he still has
No enemy is seen and no danger is encountered.
"It's already this time, and you still haven't taken it out. Are you going to wait until everyone is dead?" Ruian shouted.
Immediately, the captain did not dare to hesitate anymore and signaled a mercenary from the Tiger Mercenary Group who was carrying a large baggage to take down the baggage.
After opening the baggage, he saw a few things wrapped inside. Ruian looked over and found that he could only recognize a wooden whistle-like item. The others seemed to be related to gunpowder, but he couldn't recognize their purpose at the moment.
Next, the captain picked up the wooden whistle, put it to his mouth and blew it hard. Immediately, a very sharp whistle sounded, completely covering up the howling that had been going on.
Such a sharp sound could definitely be heard far away. Ruian was thinking that maybe the whistle could be heard at the foot of the mountain.
After blowing the whistle, the captain stopped blowing. Everyone was very surprised. The captain explained that according to the agreement of their Tiger Mercenary Group, after hearing the whistle, the other teams must whistle in response.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, no whistle sounded, and everyone felt a little weird again.
The captain blew the whistle again, this time he kept blowing.
After blowing for a long time, there was still no whistle response.
"It seems that maybe the other teams are too far away to hear, or they may be in danger and be wiped out, or the fog is weird and can block the whistle." Ruian kept thinking in his heart. Then, Ruian faced
The captain, who was still whistling desperately, said, "Try other things to see if they have any effect."
Suddenly, the captain woke up and quickly looked for other things in the baggage.
To be honest, apart from being a higher-level swordsman, this captain is absolutely useless and has a very bad temper. It is really a tragedy for all the mercenaries in the team to have this kind of person lead the team. Ryan can foresee that if he is still here like
If the useless captain continues to lead the army, it will be a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated. At this time, Ruian had to think of a way to deal with it. At this time, he no longer expected to complete the task and earn that large commission, but to consider
How to get out of this strange fog and how to save your life.
The captain took out a stick-shaped object, which was somewhat similar to the firecrackers in Ryan's previous life. The captain used the torch in his hand to light a fuse exposed on the edge of the object. After a small "chichi" sound, he threw him into the air with force.
"Zhizhi..." After a long harsh sound, there was silence, and there was only a continuous howling sound.
"Strange, why didn't it explode?" The captain said to himself with surprise on his face.
Everyone was puzzled.
The captain then explained that this was an exploding flare. After being ignited and thrown into the air, there would be a huge explosion and a bright light. But now that it was thrown into the air, nothing happened.
Everyone fell silent.
Ruian thought for a while, and he felt more and more that his idea was correct, so he said: "Perhaps, this fog can not only block the sight, but also block the sound. Our voices cannot be transmitted to other places, and the sounds of other places
, cannot be transmitted to us."
"But how did the sound of the fight just come here?" Ruian, who had just finished speaking, immediately thought in his heart that this was something that could not be explained, so he did not say it.
When everyone heard it, they thought it made sense, but this fact made people feel even more horrified.
Not giving up, the captain took out another pack of fuel, then gathered a pile of dry branches and lit a bonfire that was more than half a person's height.
The area within ten meters of the bonfire could be seen clearly, but nothing was discovered, and the bonfire seemed unable to drive away the fog. If it were normal, if such a large bonfire was lit, people from a mile away would probably be able to see it.
But now, in this weird fog, I doubt whether the other teams can see it.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one from other teams came.
The captain tried several more items, but still had no effect, and finally had to give up in frustration and looked at everyone.
"What should I do?" This question came to everyone's mind.
Then, everyone turned their attention to Ruian. At this time, everyone expected Ruian to come up with a solution. Along the way, Ruian didn't speak much, but every time he spoke, he was on point, so many people felt that Ruian
He is more trustworthy than the captain.
Ryan did not refuse, but he did not speak immediately. Instead, he thought again. After a moment, he said: "Everyone, I am wondering whether we can still complete the mission under the current situation?"
Suddenly, this question woke up all the mercenaries.
Yes, the enemy has not been discovered yet, and the legendary skeleton has not appeared yet. Just a fog makes everyone helpless. This shows how powerful the enemy is. Anyone with self-awareness will consider the possibility of defeating the enemy.
Sex, but no matter how you think about it, the possibility is very low.
"I suggest leaving immediately and abandoning this mission." The tall mercenary, the leader of the small group, was the first to express his opinion.
"No, we have to find other teams and complete this mission together." The captain also objected immediately.
From the perspective of the Tiger Mercenary Group, if they cannot complete this mission, it will have a great impact on them. It can even be said that they will become the laughing stock of Gesudo Town in the future, and they may not be able to receive missions from now on. As for other invited
Come here as a mercenary, just pat your butt and leave, there is no burden at all. Therefore, the captain is determined to complete the mission.
This is how disagreements arise.
"Are you stupid? This place is so weird and dangerous, and you still want to complete the mission? If you don't want your life, we want our lives." the tall mercenary mocked.
"You want to die? How dare you say that to me. If I say you can't leave, you can't leave. I'm the captain, and I have the final say." The captain shouted angrily.
"You loser, what ability do you have to be a captain? We are in trouble now because you, the captain, are leading us. You loser!" the tall mercenary began to curse.
The captain was furious, picked up the sword in his hand, and slashed at the tall mercenary. He was so angry that he even forgot to use his fighting spirit, so he picked up the sword and slashed at the tall mercenary.
The tall mercenary was obviously prepared. Seeing the captain looking over, he unleashed his two-foot-long sword and struck hard at the incoming sword.
This time, the captain, who did not use his fighting spirit and was caught off guard, was forced to take two steps back and almost lost his sword. As a level 5 swordsman, he was forced to retreat by a level 4 swordsman. For him, it was simply...
What a shame and humiliation.
So, the captain unleashed his three-foot-long sword and rushed forward, fighting fiercely with the tall mercenary.
The people around were shocked, and they suddenly started to take action as they were talking. Then, the members of the Tiger Mercenary Group and the small group began to curse each other tit for tat, and almost joined the battle.
The middle-aged mercenary who had tried to break up the fight started to break up the fight again, but this time no one paid attention to him. The remaining neutral mercenaries also went up to break up the fight, but it still didn't help.
The whole scene got out of control and everyone was going crazy.
At this time, Ruian was the only one, standing quietly on the periphery and watching. He had already foreseen this scene, but he had foreseen that it would only happen after completing the task. He did not expect that it would happen not long after entering the fog.
"You still have to think of a way to make them stop, otherwise we will all be dead." The middle-aged mercenary who tried to stop the fight saw that he could not persuade him, and when he saw Ruian standing aside as if watching a play, he couldn't help but shout at him.
Ryan shouted.
Ruian started to move. He did not speak, but walked to the baggage on the ground, picked up the wooden whistle that he had just blown from the baggage, and then Ruian casually wiped the mouthpiece of the whistle with a cloth, and then
Put the whistle in your mouth and blow it loudly.
"Zhi...", a sharp whistle sounded.
Suddenly, everyone stopped, including the two people who were fighting. They were all startled by the sharp whistle, and everyone looked at Ryan.
Ryan put down his whistle and asked calmly: "Excuse me, do you two know where this place is?"
Immediately, these words made the two of them give up the idea of fighting. Indeed, this is by no means a good place for fighting, because the enemy can take advantage of it at any time.
The captain calmed down and said viciously: "Okay, when this mission is over, I will settle the score with you."
The tall mercenary did not show any weakness and retaliated with the same ferocity: "We'll wait until you save your life."
"Humph." The captain stopped talking.
"What should we do next?" the middle-aged mercenary who broke up the fight quickly changed the subject and asked Ruian.
Ruian thought for a moment and said, "I think even if you want to go back now, you may not be able to go out."
"Why?"
"Think about it, this flat land is only tens of meters wide. We have walked in several directions just now, but we have never reached the uphill slope or the downhill slope. So I think there must be something wrong with this fog.
"
"Then what should we do?"
Ryan asked the captain: "Do you have to find other teams?"
"Yes, we will never quit." The captain said through gritted teeth.
Ruian asked the tall mercenary again: "Do you have to quit?"
"Yes." The tall man didn't know what Ruian wanted to do, so he said firmly.
"That's easy. Let's split up into teams and find our way separately." Ruian finally said his decision. This idea had been in his mind for a long time.
