There were a total of eleven people going to the Misty Swamp this time. In addition to Tie Xinhu, Qin Shaoyou and Mo Chen, there were also two Qi Refining Realm monks.
These are two masters and apprentices, an old man and a young man. They also came here after accepting the order of suspension of employment.
These two people joined the Iron Bull Mercenary Group in order to find the first-order monster snapping turtle.
Tie Xinhu knew this very well, but he had nothing to do. If he didn't agree, there would really be no one left.
The reason why the two masters and apprentices chose this half-assed mercenary group was because they could not afford the hiring fee, and their strength was too low to join other mercenary groups.
In this way, this group of mercenaries, who had assembled here and there and had their own purposes, slowly walked out of the gate of Qingyue City under the gaze of many eyes.
There are three carriages in the team, and the horsemen alone occupy three places. In fact, only eight people actually entered the misty swamp.
Qin Shaoyou and other four monks sat in the first carriage. As the employer, Mo Chen naturally sat in the middle one, while Wang and Liu were in the last one.
The carriage started from Qingyue City and headed west for hundreds of miles to reach a small town.
The town is called Misty Town, and it is the final place for all mercenary groups preparing to enter the Misty Swamp.
In the carriage, Qin Shaoyou leaned at the door and looked at the master and apprentice pair slightly.
Their clothes were a little shabby, but still clean. The old man was meticulously explaining to the young man the various doubts he encountered during his cultivation, and the young man listened very seriously.
Looking at them, Qin Shaoyou somehow remembered the peer he met when he entered Taolinfang: Xu Ao.
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
And that Xu Ao...
I don’t know if his master finally saved his sister...
Qin Shaoyou felt quite emotional for a while, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be a few years older than the young man in front of him.
Cough, that’s hypocritical.
Tie Xinhu was sitting in the middle of the carriage, quietly observing the three of them.
The master and apprentice had explained their intention to him from the beginning, so he didn't have any other worries. However, Qin Shaoyou said nothing since he said a few words at the beginning.
This made him feel a little uneasy and a little confused.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, your accent doesn't sound like someone from the Su Kingdom?"
Qin Shaoyou withdrew his gaze and looked at Tie Xinhu.
"Just a casual cultivator, traveling around the world."
He smiled and said nonsense.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Tiexinhu could only smile in return and didn't ask any more questions.
"Let me introduce, this is Fellow Daoist Yang, and this is his disciple Xu Xiaoyou."
Tie Xinhu pointed at the pair of master and disciple and said.
After he finished speaking, the master and apprentice both hugged Qin Shaoyou, not showing much familiarity.
Qin Shaoyou smiled faintly, then closed his eyes and fell asleep, no longer paying attention to the three of them.
The carriage became quiet again, with only the whispers of the master and apprentice remaining.
There was silence along the way. After bumping for more than an hour, the carriage gradually slowed down.
"Xu~~"
"Captain, we are here."
The carriage stopped in front of Mist Town.
Everyone got off the car one by one.
As far as the eye can see, there are many simple houses arranged haphazardly on both sides of the road. Some houses have collapsed, and even the carriages are scattered aside.
The few flags were blown by the wind, and some had a tattered rag hanging on the flagpole.
Seeing this scene, Tie Xinhu's nose felt a little sore for some reason.
In fact, these mercenary groups did not exist for long. Most of them completely changed their people in more than ten years, and the original mercenary group name quickly disappeared in the strong wind of the misty swamp.
There are really few mercenary groups like them with thirty years of history.
Qin Shaoyou glanced around and saw four carriages not far away, with the flags of the "Wind Mercenary Group" on the carriages.
But now there were only four grooms left, and the rest had disappeared.
"Get ready!"
"yes!"
Tiexinhu gave the order, and the grooms took action quickly.
Wang and Liu jumped out of the car and dug out some leather armors, arrows, and some expensive-looking weapons from the boxes at the back of the car. The grooms also came out from the back of the first car.
, and found some bags containing food, as well as some small talismans that even mortals can use.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Mo Chen wore a snow-white mink fur cloak and walked out of the carriage unhurriedly.
He raised his eyes to look at the layers of fog several miles away, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Friend Daoist Mo, this misty swamp is eight hundred miles long from east to west. If we want to cross it, it will take at least several days."
"Your body..."
Looking at the latter's frail look, Tie Xinhu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Wouldn't it be funny if this guy died on the way?
"Captain Iron, let's go when you're ready!"
Mo Chen coughed slightly, his face still a little pale.
Tiexinhu said nothing more after hearing this.
He took a green long-handled sword from the groom's hand, put on a dark heart-protecting scale armor, and put a short crossbow on his waist, as if he was ready for battle.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, would you like to choose some weapons?"
The weapons provided by Tiexinhu are not ordinary iron, but are a number of yellow-level third-grade magic weapons.
Qin Shaoyou was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the yellow-level third-grade magic weapon here was so worthless and became a popular commodity.
"good."
He did not refuse, walked to the box, picked out a spear, a shield, and several fire charms and put them on him.
When the master and disciple saw this, they also came over. When they saw the box full of magic weapons piled inside as if they were for free, greed suddenly appeared on their faces.
"This...can you take it as you like?"
The old man named Yang asked expectantly.
Tiexinhu smiled helplessly:
"Take it."
"Thank you very much!"
The two masters and apprentices were immediately overjoyed and immediately started picking.
Unfortunately, they didn't have storage bags, so even if two people fully armed themselves, they wouldn't be able to take a few items.
Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou's good impression towards the master and disciple disappeared instantly.
Greedy people often don’t live long!
Especially in this misty swamp full of dangers.
After half a stick of incense, everyone was ready.
Tie Xinhu gave a few instructions to the three grooms, and then looked at everyone.
"Everyone, I need to say one more thing before entering the misty swamp."
"The swamp is full of dangers. The route I know is only a relatively safe route. It cannot completely guarantee that you will not be attacked by monsters."
"After entering, you still need to follow my instructions and do not move without permission, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
His eyes were deep and deep, and there was a hint of majesty in his tone.
Mo Chen naturally had no objection and smiled slightly in return.
Qin Shaoyou also nodded.
His purpose is the same as Mo Chen's. All he has to do is follow Mo Chen along the way. As for finding someone...
He doesn't have that kind of leisure.
The master and apprentice looked slightly displeased, but they didn't say much.
"Captain, don't worry, we will listen to you in everything!"
Although the three Wang and Liu people have good skills, they are only mortals after all. If they really encounter a monster, they have no choice but to run away, so naturally they don't dare to act recklessly.
Tie Xinhu looked confident, but in fact he was unsure of himself.
In the vast misty swamp, where could he go and return whenever he wanted?
This group of people travel together, and in the final analysis they are just using each other.
