The sky finally darkened completely. Lin Li's moving gaze suddenly paused, and he saw a bonfire rising slowly in the forest not far away, like a guiding light in the darkness.
"Uh, there's someone there?" Looking at the bonfire, Lin Li was slightly startled. After thinking for a while, he raised his feet and walked towards the burning place of the bonfire. Before that, Xiaobai was forced to lock him in while he wasn't paying attention.
In the origin of the witch heart.
As he got closer, Lin Li could vaguely see five figures sitting next to the bonfire. Three men and two women among them were each equipped with personal weapons, and they all had the same badge on their chests, presumably.
Mercenaries who belong to a team.
Just as Lin Li was slowly walking over, beside the bonfire, a middle-aged man suddenly turned his head and stared directly at Lin Li, shouting coldly: "Who is it?"
Hearing his shout, the three people beside him pulled out the weapons from their waists with a choking sound, and then pointed at the middle-aged man's gaze. One of them, a rather young girl, hurriedly drew out the weapon but turned it away.
The dagger fell to the ground, and his cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
"Haha, don't panic, everyone. I'm just a passerby. I came here when I saw a bonfire." Behind a dark tree, Lin Li walked out with a smile. As if to prove that he had no ill intentions, he even shook his empty phone.
hands.
Seeing Lin Li's young face, the five people visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
The middle-aged man was about to smile and speak. A delicate girl's voice rang out. It turned out that the girl who had just dropped the dagger on the ground was dissatisfied. It seemed that she was angry at her previous appearance, without any warning.
The focus shifted to Lin Li: "Do you know the rules? You quietly entered the territory of another mercenary team. You want to find out the news, do you want to conduct a sneak attack at night?"
Being slapped with a big hat for no reason, Lin Li frowned slightly and turned his gaze to the girl. Judging from the appearance, the girl seemed to be about the same as him. Her face was reddish by the bonfire, which was considered pretty, but her cheeks
There always seems to be a hint of coquettishness hidden in her. Even her tone of voice is a bit unpleasant.
"Ling'er, don't talk nonsense." The middle-aged man turned around, scolded lightly, then turned to Lin Li and smiled: "Is my little brother also a mercenary? Why did you go into the wilderness alone?"
"Haha, I'm just wandering around the perimeter." Lin Li said with a smile.
"Oh." After listening to Lin Li's explanation, the middle-aged man didn't pay much attention. He pointed to the fire beside him and said with a heroic smile: "Little brother, come and sit down. Night is the world of monsters. We humans
But I don’t have the ability to see at night. It’s really dangerous to be alone outside.”
Judging from Lin Li's age, no matter how talented he is, how strong can he be? He can't be considered a threat.
Nodding gratefully, Lin Li walked to the fire under the gaze of several people, then sat down cross-legged and smiled shyly at them.
"Little brother, I am the captain of this team, sixth level of Yuanli Realm." The middle-aged man smiled.
"Lin Li, his strength... can only be regarded as the fourth level of Yuanli Realm." Lin Li blinked and smiled.
"You're quite brave. You're only at the third level of the Yuanli Realm, but you dare to break into the wilderness. If you hadn't met us tonight, I'm afraid you would have become food in the belly of the monster." After hearing Lin Li's self-reported strength, then
The girl named Ling'er immediately sarcastically said, with a hint of envy and jealousy in her words. In other words, even those at the fourth level of the Yuanli Realm are pretty good at their age.
With a faint smile, Lin Li naturally ignored her and turned his attention to the other woman and two men. The woman was wearing a green dress and had a plump body. She was the type of young woman Lin Li liked. One of the two men was strong and about three inches tall.
He was in his teens, and the other one in white soft armor was younger, only about twenty years old. The three of them met Lin Li's gaze, and they all nodded and smiled friendly.
The strength of one woman and two men was far inferior to Lin Li, and he knew it at a glance. However, the girl who was ignored by Lin Li suddenly said: "This is my brother Xu Qiang, he is at the peak of the fifth level of Yuanli Realm.
We are almost on the verge of catching up with the captain. Even our team leader said that he is extremely talented. Compared with you... he is naturally in the sky and on the earth."
Smiling and nodding to the man in white soft armor, Lin Li glanced at the proud girl and knew clearly that she seemed to have a secret crush on the man in white soft armor.
The two sides got to know each other briefly and became initially friendly.
During the chat, Lin Li learned that this group of people belonged to a mercenary group in the border town, and it was said that the girl named Ling'er's father was a high-ranking member of the mercenary group. No wonder she acted a little unruly.
"Thank you!" Lin Li gratefully took a piece of barbecue from the young woman in green and took a bite. It was very delicious.
There was a lot of meat, enough for an adult wild boar. Lin Li naturally didn't need to be polite and ate it openly. In the meantime, he secretly threw two pieces into the origin of the witch's heart while others were not paying attention. Of course, he was inevitably ridiculed.
After eating and drinking, Lin Li wanted to leave now, but he couldn't find a reason to leave. He couldn't help but regret that he couldn't hold back when he saw the bonfire.
I could have gotten into the origin of the witch's heart and slept comfortably, but now, only two women in the team had blankets on them, and the rest only had tree branches as pillows.
When he got up in the morning, Lin Li exercised for a while to get rid of the discomfort in his body. The three men in the team were not as strong as him, and they did not have the Wu Yuanli Cyclone that was constantly operating. I really don't know how they survived.
"Hey, you're finally up? We've worked hard for you for most of the night, but it's a good thing you slept until now." Lin Li was still moving his waist, and the girl's sneer sounded in the early morning sky.
Glancing at the girl, Lin Li didn't understand what she was doing with her in the wilderness, wasting the team's resources and distracting others. Lin Li ignored her and greeted the others with a smile.
Seeing how Lin Li was ignoring her, the girl raised her eyebrows in anger. If Xu Qiang hadn't been holding him back, she would have made another sarcastic comment.
It was quite inconvenient to be with these people. Lin Li was about to say goodbye and leave, but he didn't know whether it was his bad luck or the bad luck of the group, but he encountered a group of monster beasts that were looking for food in the morning.
The early bird gets the worm, and the early bird gets the worm. If Lin Li didn't care, Xu Qiang and others would definitely be the worms.
"Lin Li, it's too dangerous to be alone. We are about to go back soon. Why don't you follow us." The middle-aged captain still didn't realize that the danger was approaching and said kindly.
