The traveling speed of Xiao Qi and his group was pretty good, but in Han Ming's eyes, it was a bit too slow.
The straight-line distance from Bianhuang City to Ghost City took these people a full day and an entire night.
It only took Han Ming and his party one day to complete this journey.
"It seems that the strong man is also talking nonsense. He said he could arrive before dark. It is obviously full of nonsense."
Han Ming had been hanging far behind the crowd, watching Xiao Qi's every move, for fear that the group of mercenaries would suddenly be detrimental to the child.
Early the next morning, the group finally walked to the edge of the gray and dilapidated ruins.
"After entering, follow my instructions and don't act without authorization, okay? Otherwise, if you encounter any danger, don't blame us for not notifying you in advance."
The strong man warned loudly.
Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly.
The group of people tidied up at the edge of the ghost town, found a few people to help them, took turns to rest for a long time, had a simple lunch at noon, and then entered the ghost town.
Han Ming was a little impatient along the way, absorbing the energy of the magic crystal as he walked. At this time, he saw everyone entering the ghost town, and he immediately got up and followed them.
This is a large group of buildings of unknown age. Its size is comparable to a large city. The top of the ruins is shrouded in a gray fog. The sunlight shines through the fog and can only barely illuminate the ruins.
Shine a faint light.
Seeing that the ruins were obviously different from modern architectural forms, Han Ming guessed that this place might have been a few years old. Occasionally, one or two disgusting and weird-looking animals would pop out around, but they were generally not threatening.
Xiaoqi and his group were cautiously moving forward in the ghost town. Occasionally, there would be a slight movement around them, which would frighten the group of people and quickly open their defensive formations. When they saw it was just a passing little beast, they started to panic again.
One game, keep going.
"There are no high-level things here. It seems that these mercenaries are here just to hunt for some magic crystals and animal claws and furs to sell."
Han Ming was as light as a swallow, following Xiao Qi and his party as he weaved in and out of the gaps in the buildings.
In the afternoon, the group of mercenaries finally met the first guy who blocked the road.
This is a two-stage earth-type unicorn, and its general outline is somewhat similar to a rhinoceros.
"No! Damn it, it's a second-level earth-type unicorn! Why are you so unlucky? The first one you encounter is such a powerful guy. Everyone, hurry up and defend!"
The strong man in the lead quickly shouted a reminder.
A group of mercenaries formed a formation in panic, surrounding Xiao Qi in the middle.
The unicorn's front legs kept waving on the ground, breathing heavily from its nostrils, looking extremely irritable.
"He's coming!" The strong man shouted: "I will confront him head-on, but you will harass me from all sides!"
After saying that, the unicorn flew towards everyone manically, its huge body running wildly on the ground, causing waves of rumbling sounds to be heard from the ground.
The strong man shouted violently, and fighting energy radiated from his body, forming a thin layer of earth-type armor to surround his body. He turned out to be an earth-type profession.
The unicorn came closer in a blink of an eye and collided with the great earth warrior. Small cracks suddenly appeared on the armor of the great warrior. The whole person was pushed back by the unicorn, and his feet scratched on the ground.
Two shallow ravines emerged.
The remaining mercenaries dispersed instantly, surrounded on all sides, and slashed at the unicorn with their weapons.
Xiao Qi hid in fear and hid aside, watching the battle in front of him.
The unicorn knocked back the big warrior with one blow, then immediately turned around and roared at the warriors beside it.
The warriors and mercenaries in that section were unable to dodge, and were pierced through the stomach by the sharp horn of the unicorn. They screamed and fell out, with blood and intestines falling to the ground.
When the great earth warrior saw this, he refused to hesitate at all. He quickly stepped forward and slashed the soft belly of the unicorn with his knife. With the power of his great earth warrior, he immediately cut a deep cut in the unicorn's belly.
Deep scars.
The unicorn was enraged by the big warrior, and angrily dragged a long strip of blood and rushed towards the big warrior.
The great warrior did not dare to resist any longer, so he moved his body sideways, the sword flying in his hand, and he slashed the unicorn in the belly again.
The unicorn was furious. Knowing that the big warrior in front of him was not easy to deal with, he suddenly turned around and aimed at Xiao Qi, who was hiding aside, the weakest person.
"No! Get out of the way!" When the warrior saw the unicorn running towards Xiaoqi, his anxious eyes bulged, he yelled angrily, stamped his legs on the ground, and rushed towards the unicorn, the sword in his hand condensed.
Stronger fighting spirit than before.
Xiao Qi looked at the murderer rushing towards him and was too frightened to move.
Han Ming hid himself high up, stretched out one hand, intertwined his thumb and index finger, and shot out an extremely tiny ice crystal.
The small ice crystal hit the unicorn instantly with super high speed, hitting the unicorn's heart and smashing the huge heart into pieces.
The moment the unicorn was attacked by Han Ming, its body suddenly paused, and then the big warrior who rushed at him cut open its belly with a knife. Its internal organs were spilled on the ground, and its huge body fell straight to the ground.
.
"so close!"
The great warrior was unaware of Han Ming's move and quickly wiped the cold sweat from his head thankfully.
"That's great! Head, look to see if there's anything valuable on it!"
The mercenaries cheered one after another, but they didn't care about their dead companions beside them.
"Don't you care about him?" Xiao Qi pointed tremblingly at the mercenary next to him who had been stabbed in the stomach by the unicorn, and asked in a low voice.
The strong man looked at the corpse and said casually: "Find two people to bury him." After saying that, he didn't look at the corpse anymore. A group of people surrounded the unicorn, with axes and swords all in their hands.
On the unicorn.
People in the mercenary profession have been working in dangerous places all year round, and it can be said that the death of their companions is commonplace. Often, a small mercenary team will continue to fill in new people through constant deaths, usually two to
Within three years, the entire small mercenary group has undergone a major change. The name of the mercenary group is still the same, but the members have been completely changed.
Han Ming knows this very well. Mercenaries are simply a group of guys who don't care about life and death. They don't even care about their own lives, let alone the lives of their companions. In the crisis of life and death, friendship seems so weak.
.
After a lot of effort, this group of people finally dissected the unicorn's body to their satisfaction. Whether it was the small earth crystal in the head, its horn, or even the limbs and fur, they were all removed.
.
"Tou! You are so brave and powerful! You actually broke this big guy's heart!"
A mercenary looked at the unicorn's broken heart and flattered him repeatedly.
The strong man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Of course!"
Han Ming hid in the dark, smiling and saying nothing.
As night falls, it becomes even more difficult to see in this ghost town.
The mercenaries lit up the magic lamps one after another. It is a product made of inlaid fire crystals. Its light can illuminate a radius of nearly ten meters and can be used continuously for more than ten days. It can be said that it is a great way to go out for adventure.
, a must-have for people who take long walks at night.
In the following time, this group of mercenaries encountered several waves of monster attacks, but fortunately they were all first-level monsters and were easily eliminated by these mercenaries. There was a second-level warrior in the team who could
The overall strength suddenly increased to a higher level.
"Kid, where is the place you mentioned? We are going deeper and deeper."
The strong man asked loudly.
Xiao Qi said quickly: "It's not far, it's not far. Just follow this road and we'll be there."
Now even Han Ming became curious. At first he thought Xiao Qi was just trying to get some World of Warcraft furs and crystals, but when he thought about it, it was impossible. Spending fifty gold coins to get these things would be a bit outweighing the gains. What the hell is this kid doing?
Where to?
The night was already deep, and some of the monsters that had been seen during the day had returned to their nests and never came out again.
"That's it!"
Xiao Qi excitedly pointed to a huge dilapidated palace in front of him. There were hundreds of huge stone pillars erected around the palace, supporting the top of the palace. There were many strange pictures and texts carved on the walls around the palace. It was difficult to find it.
identify.
"Then..." The big warrior thought for a while, looked at Xiao Qi's hopeful eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse.
"Then go and have a look."
The group of people walked toward the palace. When they were only about fifty meters away from the palace gate, the ground under their feet suddenly began to tremble.
I saw skeleton soldiers with rotten bodies emerging from the ground.
"Necrons! They are undead creatures! Damn it! They are all skeleton soldiers of the fourth and fifth levels! Everyone, run away!!"
When the great warrior saw the dozen or so skeleton soldiers that suddenly appeared in front of him, he was immediately frightened out of his wits and shouted quickly.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
A group of mercenaries shouted in alarm, but it was too late. There were only a dozen of them in the group. At this time, facing more than a dozen skeleton soldiers, they were completely surrounded.
These low-level skeleton soldiers are ultra-low-level undead creatures. They have no intelligence at all and are not at the same level as the demon soldiers rushing up from the demon world.
The skeleton soldiers rushed over with weapons raised.
The mercenaries resisted desperately.
The battle lasted for a meal and finally ended.
More than a dozen skeleton soldiers were wiped out, and only five or six of the dozen mercenaries were left. This was because there was a second-level warrior of the earth element, otherwise the scene would have been even more tragic.
"Kid, we can't help you anymore. We definitely can't get in there." The strong man said to Xiao Qi regretfully. He didn't care too much about Xiao Qi's mood, but as mercenaries, they didn't need to be afraid.
Although they may die, they must pay attention to their credibility. For mercenaries, credibility is their life and is something they must definitely defend.
The great warrior sighed secretly and said: "For you, I also died nearly ten brothers, so we are even." After saying that, the great warrior called to the other scarred mercenaries: "Retreat!"
"Don't! Don't go, we still have a chance, please don't go, take me in."
When Xiao Qi heard that these people were about to leave, he burst into tears and lay on the ground hugging the big warrior's thigh and refused to let go.
"I'm sorry, there's really nothing we can do."
"No, please don't give up. We still have a chance. Really, we can rush in."
Xiao Qi burst into tears and hugged the big warrior's thigh. He looked helplessly at the palace in front of him, but couldn't go in. His emotions suddenly collapsed.
"Oh... I'm really sorry, we have to leave here. You can either come with us, or stay alone."
The great warrior shook his head helplessly, and after greeting his men, he left.
Xiao Qi sat on the ground blankly, staring blankly at the palace in front of him. Tears fell in large clusters like bead curtains with broken ropes. He muttered absentmindedly: "It's clearly in front of you, it's clearly close."
In front of you, why should you give up, why, why should you give up."
Seeing Xiao Qi's appearance, the big warrior said, "This kid is so frightened that he will die if you drag him back and leave him here alone."
Seeing the fragmented skeleton soldiers in front of him begin to squirm slightly again, the great warrior knew that these undead creatures were about to regain their ability to move. Although their bodies were no longer complete, they could still barely rely on their broken limbs.
Combat, and more importantly, God knows how many more of these things are out there.
The group of people quickly dragged the naked Xiao Qi and evacuated quickly.
"Don't... don't pull me..., let me in..."
Xiao Qi suddenly woke up and turned around, looking at the palace in front of him and crying heartbreakingly.
"What on earth is he going to do? There are undead creatures outside the palace. What is there that attracts him so much? We must find out about this matter!"
Han Ming stood in the dark and talked to himself silently.dd
