The purpose of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group is to annex everything from the Feiyu Mercenary Group. Now, in the name of revenge for the Feiyu Mercenary Group, the Raging Flame Mercenary Group has collected many mercenaries from the Feiyu Mercenary Group.
Under his command, the various industries and territories of the Feiyu Mercenary Group in Qingshan City are also in the hands of the Lieyan Mercenary Group. As for some of the martial arts skills of the Feiyu Mercenary Group, they have been used by several core members of the Feiyu Mercenary Group.
The members were scattered and taken away. The people of the Flame Mercenary Group wanted to get these things and were hunting down the survivors of the Feiyu Mercenary Group.
Russell himself guessed that the reason why the Zhang family roped in the Flame mercenary group was because the Flame mercenary group knew some secrets of the Feiyu mercenary group, so that it would be convenient for the Zhang family to kill the Feiyu mercenary group.
Today's Feiyu mercenary group has long existed in name only. The remaining core members are also weak and dare not show up at all. As soon as they show up, the Zhang family and the Lieyan mercenary group will instantly kill several of them.
If the survivors want to stay away from Qingshan City, they can only take a detour through the Endless Mountains and enter Huangshan City or Nanshan City. After all, the entire Qingshan City area has spies of the Zhang family.
Huo Yan received intelligence and discovered that there were survivors of the Feiyu mercenary group appearing in the Endless Mountains, so he chased them all the way and had friction with the Nine Snakes mercenary group.
Drasser already knew the origin of all this, but there was one thing that made Drasser very concerned, that is, the Flame Mercenary Group did not know about the spirit stone veins, or only a few people knew about it.
Moreover, the people of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group did not know the specific location of the spirit stone veins. In other words, the Zhang family did not cooperate with the Raging Flame Mercenary Group to mine spirit stones. Instead, they disguised their own people as mercenaries.
Come to the Endless Mountains to mine spirit stones. The Zhang family will keep the news of the spirit stone veins very strictly confidential, and the routes in and out of the Endless Mountains will also be very hidden.
As a result, it would be impossible for Drasel to find the spirit stone veins through the Flame Mercenary Group. If he wanted to find out the location of the spirit stone veins, he still needed to go inside the Endless Mountains and try his luck.
All the questions that need to be asked have been asked, and there is no need for Russell to keep a few things as a drag and just let them go on their way peacefully. To be honest, Russell's mentality has already changed at this time. In this world,
Human life is always the least valuable.
When Russell and Guan Susu returned to the main force, the way Cheng Haotian and others looked at Russell had completely changed. There was a bit of fear in their eyes. This is the law of survival in the mainland. The strong will do it.
respect.
"Brother Mu, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. After we rest, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
"Okay, I guess the alien beasts will find this way soon, so we'd better set off now."
After saying that, the group of people left the place quickly. With the strong man De La Serre in charge, the journey of Cheng Haotian and others was significantly accelerated. One day later, De La Serre and the others saw the Snake Valley as they wished.
The canyon here is not big. There are two hills on both sides. Something seems to have split open the middle, creating a long canyon, similar to a line of sky.
Snake grass grows inside the Yixiantian Canyon. It is lush and green. There are hundreds of them at least at a glance. Snake grass is a poisonous weed and has a certain degree of toxicity. If taken by mistake, it will cause weakness in the limbs.
, the whole body is sore and weak, and severe poisoning will also cause weakness of the muscles and bones, shock and death. It is only effective for Xiantian realm warriors. Strong people in the human martial realm can directly use spiritual power to force out the toxins.
Snake grass also has a very great use, that is, it can be used as an anesthetic for external use. It only needs to be mixed with a few other medicinal materials to make the best anesthetic. It is a paralysis drug commonly used by mercenaries and assassins, and it is also very popular among doctors, so
Snake grass has many uses. A mature snake grass can be sold for more than ten gold coins depending on its quality. It is a very good low-level medicinal material.
The task of Russell and others is to collect snake grass. The more, the better. They can all be recovered at the price of 15 gold coins per plant, and they can also get the same value of mercenary group points, which is very cost-effective.
It is very easy to collect the small number of snake grass, because there are not too many snakes and beasts guarding the snake grass, but once the snake grass grows in a large area, it means that this place is home to snakes and beasts
A big lair, like now. Looking from a distance, Dracelle can see that the entire canyon is crawling with thousands of venomous snakes, and these snakes are of different colors and lengths, and some are all black.
There are spots, some are colorful, and a large group of venomous snakes, all gathered in the canyon. Looking from a distance, it makes people's hair stand on end.
Cui'er swallowed her saliva and said: "Wow~ there are so many snakes, big and small, so disgusting! How can we pick snake grass? Those snake grass, but in the canyon, there are so many snakes outside.
, it’s not a world of venomous snakes inside. As soon as you enter, you will be bitten to death by venomous snakes.”
Cui'er's thoughts are also what everyone thinks. There are so many poisonous beasts, and even Dracelle is not sure that they can rush in safely.
Cheng Haotian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Cui'er. In fact, we have been to this Snake Valley once. Not only did we find a huge number of snake grass inside, but we also found a red-scale silver-ringed snake king inside the Snake Valley. If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely
Can't live to pick snake grass from it."
"What! The Red-Scale Silver Ring Snake King! That is a third-level peak beast, and it is also highly poisonous. Even the strong people in the Earth Martial Realm have to stay away from the edge for a while. If we go in, we will die. Brother Mu, we don't want Snake Xincao
Come on, let’s go quickly.” With that said, Cui’er had already backed down and was about to pull Russell away.
Russell smiled at this time and said: "This is good news."
Cui'er was stunned and said: "What! It's good news, but there is a highly venomous third-level snake inside, how can this be good news!"
"You little fool, powerful beasts like the Red-Scale Silver Ring Snake King already have territorial awareness. How can they allow those first- and second-level snakes to exist where the Snake King is? In other words, only around the Snake Valley, there are
There are a lot of low-level snakes, but there are very few venomous snakes in the Snake Valley. When we enter the Snake Valley, the only venomous snake we need to deal with is the Red Scale Bungara King. Am I right? Brother Cheng."
"Brother Mu is indeed very intelligent. It took us a long time to find out this information. Unexpectedly, Brother Mu saw through it right away."
Cheng Haotian continued: "These low-level poisonous snakes on the periphery are not difficult to deal with. We have already tried it. As long as we keep spraying the powder that snakes are afraid of along the rock wall, and then quickly pass through, we can directly enter the Snake Valley. After entering the Snake Valley
, as long as you pay attention to some second-level snake-like beasts, it is not difficult to approach the Snake Letter Grass. The only difficulty is how to avoid the Red-Scale Silver Ring Snake King."
"Brother Cheng must have thought of a solution?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Brother Mu. We have already thought of a way to avoid the red-scaled bungara snake. In Qingshan City, I have asked an alchemist instructor from the academy to refine a kind of powder. As long as
Sprinkling the medicinal powder into the mouth of the red-scaled bungar snake king will temporarily cause the snake king to lose the ability to discern direction and fall into hallucination. At that time, we can pick the snake grass at will. "
After hesitating, Russell said: "Brother Cheng really dares to spend a lot of money. He actually hired an alchemist to refine the powder. It must have cost a lot of money. Just for some snake grass and mercenary group points, I think it's a bit...
The gain outweighs the loss."
Cheng Haotian did not hide anything and said with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from Brother Mu. Indeed, there is another treasure in the Snake Valley, which is the spiritual fruit that the Red Scale Silver Ring Snake King has always guarded - the Purple Stripe Vermilion Fruit."
Several people around Cheng Haotian were immediately startled when they saw Cheng Haotian telling all the secrets of the Purple Stripe Vermillion Fruit. Ru Bing also stepped back intentionally or unintentionally, as if to be on guard against Drasser's assassination.
Drasel was also stunned. There was actually a purple-striped vermilion fruit in the Snake Valley! It was really surprising. Ordinary vermilion fruits can only increase the spiritual power of the user and greatly improve their cultivation. But the purple-striped vermilion fruit
It is a heterogeneous species in the red fruit. It can not only greatly enhance the cultivation level of the user, but also enhance the soul realm of the user, making it easier for the user to break through the earth martial realm.
The biggest obstacle for warriors in the Human Martial Realm who want to break through the Earth Martial Realm is that the soul level cannot be easily broken through. The signature skill of a strong man in the Earth Martial Realm is to be able to communicate with the surrounding spiritual energy and absorb the surrounding spiritual energy at all times to strengthen his own strength. The most critical point of this is
, is the level of soul power. If the soul level is relatively low, it will be even more difficult to break through to the Earth Martial Realm.
The Purple Striped Vermilion Fruit can enhance the warrior's soul level, making it easier for the warrior to feel the surrounding spiritual energy. This shows how precious the Purple Striped Vermilion Fruit is.
Cheng Haotian continued: "Brother Mu, I have seen the appearance of purple-striped vermilion fruits. There are two purple-striped vermilion fruits on that vermilion fruit tree, and judging from the size, they are more than a hundred years old. In the past few days, they have grown
It will be completely mature.”
"Brother Cheng is really open-minded. He dares to speak so carefully about such treasures. I am not afraid that I will kill you here to silence you!"
No wonder Cheng Haotian was in a hurry along the way. It turned out that he had calculated the date when the purple-striped vermilion fruit would mature. He had no good intentions when he shared the task with Russell. He just saw that Russell was young and around him.
There are only 6 teammates, and they want to trick Russell and others into the Snake Valley to be used as cannon fodder, drag the Red Scale Silver Ring Snake King, and then take the opportunity to seize the Purple Stripe Vermillion Fruit.
Now I am afraid that he is afraid of Russell's strength and dare not hide it, or he has other intentions.
Cheng Haotian also smiled and said: "Having seen Brother Mu's strength, I no longer dare to ask for anything extravagantly, but I am not willing to give up the purple-striped vermillion fruit like this. Therefore, I am willing to share all the information with Brother Mu, and I am willing to take
Out of the *** fans, we have been here several times and are very familiar with the surrounding environment. With Brother Mu's strength, coupled with the help of *** fans and myself, it is not difficult to deal with the Red Scale Silver Ring Snake King.
"
"As a price, is Brother Cheng going to take away a purple-striped vermilion fruit?"
Cheng Haotian did not make any pretense, but said straightforwardly: "Yes, our team is willing to fully assist Brother Mu in obtaining the purple-striped vermilion fruit, and all the snake grass we picked will be given to Brother Mu. As a condition, we only need
One of the purple-striped vermillion fruits, including everything on the red-scale silver-ringed snake king, also belongs to Brother Mu. We will never ask for it, how about it?" He said, looking at Russell with a look of anticipation.
"What if I say no? What are Brother Cheng's preparations?"
When Cheng Haotian heard this, he was obviously stunned, but no matter how unwilling he was, he did not dare to start a war with Drasser. The scene of Drasser massacring the Flame Mercenary Group was still vivid in his mind. They were not Drasser at all.
Your opponent, even if he doesn't think about himself, can't drag his teammates into the water.
After hesitating, Cheng Haotian said: "Brother Safiya insists on refusing, so let's leave now. The *** fans also offer their hands. I just ask Brother Mu to let us live, or let my teammates live."
Xiaolang said angrily at this time: "No, we discovered the purple-striped red fruit. We can't just let it go. The leader must not die. The worst is, we will fight with them."
Ru Bing was also standing next to Cheng Haotian at this time, preparing to face it together.
Cheng Haotian stopped Xiaolang at this time and said angrily: "Don't mess around. We are not their opponents. This incident was started by me. I can't drag you down to be buried with you! Listen to me and leave quickly!"
Ru Bing: "No, you are our leader, we cannot leave you and escape by ourselves."
Ye Cheng, who was hiding behind the team, was already thinking about how to escape and began to gradually leave the team. If anything happened, he would definitely be the first to escape.
Several more teammates stood up and prepared to support Cheng Haotian, but Cheng Haotian was helpless and tried his best to stop them.
Russell saw that the group was quite united, except for one black sheep of course.
"Okay, I didn't say I wanted to kill you. Although Brother Cheng invited us to Snake Valley with bad intentions, the crime is not worthy of death. I agree with Brother Cheng's suggestion, as long as Brother Cheng can sincerely help us get the Purple Stripe Vermillion
If you kill the Red-Scale Silver Ring Snake King, I am willing to give Brother Cheng a purple-striped vermilion fruit."
"Seriously! Brother Mu, you won't lie to me."
"I don't like lying, and I have no reason to lie to you, but the premise is that you can sincerely help me."
Cheng Haotian looked excited and said: "Okay! It's a deal. Originally, even I was not sure whether we could really kill the Red Scale Silver Ring Snake King, but with Brother Mu joining us, I believe we can definitely get it."
To the purple-striped red fruit!" Regardless of whether what Russell said is true or not, Cheng Haotian is willing to give it a try. Moreover, from getting along with him along the way, Cheng Haotian also understands a little about Russell's character. He is not that unreasonable.
He is a villain who forgets his kindness when he sees his wealth, which is why he told the truth frankly.
The terrain of the Snake Valley is a bit steep, and there is a large group of venomous snakes at the entrance of the valley. Although they are all low-level venomous snakes, ordinary people do not dare to approach here because of their high venom.
These venomous snakes were attracted by the spiritual energy of the purple-striped vermillion fruit and came here. This caused the venomous snakes here to be very dense and there was no place to stay. After Russell and others walked in, they didn't know what to do.
Move forward, because as far as you can see, there are poisonous snakes everywhere.
At this time, Cheng Haotian took out some irritating medicinal powder that he had prepared in advance and began to spread it along the mountain wall. He said: "These medicinal powders are made from the flesh and blood of some high-level snakes and exotic animals, and some highly irritating poisons are added to it."
It is made of artificial snakes and has a very good effect on dispelling some low-level, non-intelligent snake-like beasts. We have used this method when we entered Snake Valley several times before."
Sure enough, as the powder was sprinkled, many venomous snakes on the ground quickly moved away. Of course, there were also some second-order snake-like beasts that were bolder and did not stay away directly. They also grinned hoarsely at Drasere and others. When encountering this
In this situation, it is not easy to take action easily. You can only kill it when it gets close, so as not to disturb the remaining poisonous snakes. If it does not get close, there is no need to worry about it.
In Tianyuan Continent, first-level and second-level alien beasts are all low-level alien beasts. Although their strength is good, their intelligence is generally not high. Only a few talented second-level alien beasts can activate their intelligence in advance, but it is obvious that
, outside of the Snake Valley, there are no such powerful alien beasts. Most of the alien beasts here are first-order snakes. Apart from the exaggerated number, they are not actually a big threat.
With the help of medicinal powder, Russell and others slowly entered the Snake Valley along the rock wall. During this period, they only needed to find a few people, pay attention to the poisonous snakes on the rock wall, and be prepared in advance. As long as you are careful, the danger is not great.
.
However, it is another matter for women like Guan Susu who are afraid of snakes and strange beasts. From the beginning to the end, Guan Susu clings to Dresel tightly, closing her eyes tightly, not daring to look at this terrifying world.
.
Once again, he swung his sword to kill a poisonous snake on the stone wall, and everyone successfully arrived at the entrance of the Snake Valley. Along the way, Russell and others only encountered a few attacks from second-level poisonous snakes. The people who were well prepared would naturally not be attacked.
Injured by several second-order venomous snakes.
Entering the Snake Valley, there is a large wetland with wet surroundings and some low grass covering the entire surface. This place is really a paradise for snakes and strange beasts, very suitable for hiding snakes and strange beasts.
If you are not careful, there is a risk of being bitten.
Russell: "Brother Cheng, is there anything else we need to pay attention to in this valley? Where is the Red Scaled Silver Krait King?"
"Brother Mu, according to our observation, the Snake Valley is actually quite large. It is covered by a small wetland on the outside. There are also many venomous snakes in the wetland, and they are at least level two. Venomous snakes in the early stage of level three can also be seen occasionally.
, there is still some danger. Brother Mu, you see, many snake grasses also grow here, if we go to pick snake grass now, we may encounter some dangers."
Looking in the direction pointed by Cheng Haotian, Russell found a large number of snake grass on the hill in the middle of the wetland. Snake grass usually grows next to the nests of snakes and strange beasts. Since there are such a large number of snake grass there,
Grass, which means that that place is the outskirts of Snake Valley, the lair of poisonous snakes. It is impossible to say that there is no danger. In addition, there are some third-level poisonous snakes in the outskirts of Snake Valley. Alien beasts of this level have been
With initial wisdom, the strength is comparable to that of the human martial arts realm. It is impossible to disperse them with just medicine powder. If you approach rashly, you will definitely be in danger.
"Then according to Brother Cheng's opinion, we are...not going to pick snake grass."
"Brother Mu, after all, our main goal this time is to get the purple-striped vermilion fruit. If we lose soldiers and generals by picking snake grass, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain. I think we should deal with the red-scaled snake king first.
The location of the Snake King is in an inner valley in front of the wetland. Because of the presence of the Red-Scale Silver-Scale Snake King, other snakes and beasts do not dare to approach. In this way, we can concentrate on dealing with the Red-Scale Silver-Scale Snake King.
."
Russell nodded, and his evaluation of Cheng Haotian in his heart has risen a little. He knows the trade-offs, advances and retreats, and can also prioritize things at critical moments. He is a good talent.
Drasel nodded and agreed: "Then according to Brother Cheng's suggestion, let's deal with the Red Scaled Silver Ring Snake King first." The Red Scaled Silver Ringed Snake King is a third-level peak alien beast, and its strength is comparable to that of the Earth Martial Realm. We have to deal with it.
It is better to attack such a powerful beast as early as possible.
Cheng Haotian seems to be very familiar with the terrain of Snake Valley. He knows even where there are potholes, where the soil is softer, or where there are venomous snake nests. He has also done a good job in intelligence work. Along the mountain wall, everyone is cautious and careful.
, crossed the wetland very smoothly and came to a narrower channel.
"Through this channel, in front of you is the inner valley, where is the Red-Scale Silver Ring Snake King. We have seen the whole snake king before. It is a giant snake about 12 meters long and 3 meters thick. It moves extremely fast.
, the two venomous fangs are very scary, and they can also spray highly toxic venom from a distance, which is very difficult to deal with. Last time, we tried to set up a trap to kill, but the red-scaled snake king was very smart and would not fall into the trap at all. If it were not for the snake king
We need to guard the purple-striped vermillion fruit, and if we didn’t chase him out of the Snake Valley, we would probably have died several times." Cheng Haotian seemed to be very afraid of the strength of the Red-Scale Silver Ring Snake King.
Russell looked up and looked around, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there is a more hidden inner valley inside the Snake Valley. If Brother Cheng hadn't led the way, it would have been difficult for us to discover this place. Now that the target has been confirmed, let's go in and take a look.
Bar."
The group of people all held their breaths and moved towards the inner valley. Along the way, Drasel clearly felt that the spiritual energy in the inner valley was stronger, the air became more fragrant, and he could even smell the aroma of some spiritual herbs.
Entering the inner valley, you can see a small pit surrounded by mountains. It is surrounded by high rock walls. Under the pit, there is a large amount of grass growing. These grasses are several meters high, and some are even as tall as
A small tree in the inner valley is no taller than grass. This greatly limits the field of view of Russell and others. If the red-scaled snake king suddenly attacks, no one can
Spared.
Cheng Haotian cautiously entered the inner valley and whispered: "The Red Scale Silver Ring Snake King is here. There is grassland in front of us, which is not suitable for us to fight. The best thing is to lead the Snake King outside the grassland and find an open space."
Let’s start a war.”
Russell looked forward and said, "Where is the purple-striped red fruit?"
"The purple-striped vermillion fruit is located in the center of the inner valley. We must first deal with the red-scale silver-ringed snake king. If we enter the grassland at will, we will be attacked by the snake king."
Russell waved to Luo Cheng and others behind him and said, "Luo Cheng, Baili, Wu Yong, please protect the others. Leave this snake to me."
"Yes!" Several people believed in Russell's strength, so they were not surprised.
