Han Ming kept silently watching Xiao Qi from above until the whole night passed and the sky lit up slightly.
Xiao Qi slowly raised his head, wiped his face with his sleeves twice, and took out the chicken leg that he had been reluctant to eat from the storage bag. Previously, he always ate coarse food provided by the mercenaries.
"I have more than a hundred gold coins with me, but I can't bear to eat..." Han Ming watched Xiao Qi's every move quietly.
Xiao Qi whimpered and bit into the chicken leg one by one. Big tears fell on the meat of the chicken leg, and he swallowed them into his mouth along with the tears.
After a while, Xiao Qi finished eating the chicken legs, stood up slowly, rubbed his face vigorously with his small hands a few times, and put on an innocent smile.
Han Ming has seen all kinds of sexy people, and he can tell that Xiaoqi's smile is definitely not fake, but a kind of persistence and perseverance in hope.
Xiaoqi took off a small water bag from his waist and washed several handfuls of water on his face with his hands.
Han Ming was surprised to find that after a simple wash, Xiao Qi's originally dirty little face suddenly looked like a diamond hidden deep in the soil that had absorbed the mud on the surface.
So amazing…
Han Ming quietly followed Xiao Qi to a small mercenary union.
"I'll pay you a hundred gold coins! Is there anyone willing to take me to the ghost town?"
Xiaoqi stood at the door of the mercenary union and shouted loudly.
The crowded mercenary union suddenly became quiet, and people turned to look at the little guy standing at the door.
"Are you really willing to pay one hundred gold coins?"
A man with a hooked nose, narrow eyes, and raised corners came over. From the perspective of his face, this man was definitely not a kind person.
"right!"
"Okay, I'll take this job."
Xiaoqi nodded and asked, "What is your strength?"
The hook-nosed man said proudly: "I am a fifth-level great warrior. No one in this mercenary union is stronger than me."
Xiaoqi was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly continued to ask: "Do you have a companion?"
"have!"
"Then let's go!"
The hook-nosed man smiled and said: "Let's go!"
The hooked nose greeted three more companions, and together with Xiao Qi, the group of five set off towards the ghost realm.
Han Ming observed in the dark and thought that the overall strength of the mercenaries this time had indeed improved a lot. All four of them were second-level warriors.
After another two days, Xiaoqi followed a group of people and entered the ghost town again.
The trip this time was much simpler. Han Ming followed in the dark and did not help once. A large group of people arrived at the huge palace smoothly.
"Is this here?"
He asked with his aquiline nose pointing at the huge palace.
"Yeah, yeah! That's it!"
The hooked nose slowly rubbed his chin with two fingers, and suddenly chuckled.
"Brothers, retreat!"
Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard this, and quickly stopped him: "Didn't you agree to take me in? Why did you suddenly regret it?"
The hook-nosed man didn't even want to leave, he just made a gesture to leave.
"It's too dangerous here. You can go in if you want. I'll give you fifty more gold coins."
When Xiao Qi heard this, he hesitated immediately. He held his little hands together tightly and whispered: "No, no, didn't we agree, one hundred gold coins..."
The hooked nose and eyebrows were raised, and he tilted his head and said, "No? If not, forget it. Retreat!"
"Hey wait, I have it, I'll give it to you!"
With a sad face, Xiao Qi took out a small cloth bag hidden in his arms, poured out the gold coins one by one, carefully counted out fifty gold coins, reluctantly handed them to Hawk Nose, and poured out the last remaining coins.
He put a dozen gold coins back into his pocket and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"That's pretty much it! Let's walk!"
The hook-nosed man smiled with satisfaction, and the group walked towards the palace.
The same as last time, a dozen skeleton soldiers emerged from the ground. But this time these mercenaries were much stronger than last time, and they defeated all the skeleton soldiers in the blink of an eye.
Xiaoqi's eyes shone with excitement, it seemed that he had found the right person this time!
The group advanced another dozen steps, and a group of larger skeleton soldiers suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Damn it! Second-level and first-level skeleton soldiers!" Hawk Nose was now panicked: "How come there are skeleton soldiers of this strength here? What the hell is this place!?"
The aquiline nose grabbed Xiao Qi's collar angrily and lifted Xiao Qi up: "Tell me, where is this place!"
Xiaoqi was frightened and said in horror: "I, I don't know."
"I don't know? I don't know. You asked us to bring you here. Don't play tricks with me, kid!!"
The hooked nose held Xiaoqi in his hand and waved it back and forth, as if he was going to throw it into the skeleton soldiers.
Xiaoqi was so frightened that he cried out.
Han Ming squinted his eyes in the dark, thinking in his mind that this scene seemed familiar. Groups of skeleton soldiers guarding it were obviously the same as the Water Temple. But the strength of the skeleton soldiers here was much stronger than that of the Water Temple.
Okay. The red skeleton I met back then was only around the second level and sixth level in strength at best.
"Damn it! If you dare to play any tricks, I'll kill you!" Hooked Nose threw Xiaoqi to the ground, and fought with several other companions and the second-stage skeleton soldiers.
After the meal, the four mercenaries were all sitting on the ground exhausted, panting. Each of them had a few wounds on their bodies.
A few people rested for a while, then stood up and moved forward tentatively.
"Boss, I remember it. We seemed to have been to this place before, but at that time... there shouldn't be this huge palace now, nor these weird skeleton soldiers..." a mercenary said softly.
"I know! That's why I wanted to go in and take a look." His hooked nose curled up his face.
When a few people were only thirty meters away from the huge palace, the ground turned again.
What emerged from the ground this time was a group of second-level and fifth-level skeleton soldiers. These skeleton soldiers were exactly the same as the huge red skeleton soldiers that Han Ming saw in the Water Temple, but they were much smaller.
"Fuck you! I can't beat you! Everyone, run away!!"
Hook Nose was completely frightened this time. The second-level and fifth-level skeleton soldiers had the same strength as him. There was no way he could fight this battle.
Hiss~~
Han Ming quietly looked at the group of red skeleton soldiers in front of him, his thoughts changing rapidly.
The so-called skeleton soldiers are the most natural undead. They are the product of some dead creatures absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and then resurrecting them.
The undead are similar to the magic soldiers, but they are also different.
Almost all undead have no ability to think for themselves, and they are things that can be constantly resurrected and reorganized their bodies. They were humans, orcs, or other magical beasts when they were alive. After resurrection, they have no wisdom and act dull. And the demon soldiers are demons.
Special products of the demon world. Although both are things that can be resurrected after death, the demon soldiers are resurrected by absorbing the special breath of the demon world, and most of them retain their own consciousness. They can be killed, and their bodies cannot.
Reorganize. To give a simple example, the undead are equivalent to beasts, and the magic soldiers are equivalent to Warcraft. The two have similar shapes, but they belong to two completely different species.
But it is said that the demon soldiers were originally evolved from the undead. To put it bluntly, the undead are the ancestors of the demon soldiers. They are the ancestors of some of the demon soldiers that have not evolved. At the beginning, the elders of the elves led a large number of undead.
Entering the demon world deep underground, after a long period of evolution, the undead souls gained wisdom one after another, but also lost the ability to reorganize their bodies. They eventually became demon soldiers. The biggest difference is that the demon soldiers can speak.
Can think and give birth to offspring.
"A mutant of the undead, a new species..." Han Ming said to himself.
"Don't leave, please don't leave. I will give you money again, and I will give you a gold coin. I will give you whatever you want." Xiao Qi cried and begged.
"Get out of here! You brat! If you want to die, go and do it yourself. Don't drag us along!" Hooked Nose kicked Xiao Qi away and fled with his three men.
Wow……
Xiaoqi cried loudly.
Those skeleton soldiers were getting closer and closer to Xiao Qi, and they were about to collide with Xiao Qi.
Several ice crystals flashed in Han Ming's hand, ready to be fired out at any moment.
"I'll fight with you!!"
Xiaoqi wailed, picked up a long wooden stick from the ground, and swung it towards the skeleton soldier with his eyes closed tightly.
Just when Han Ming was about to take action, a miraculous scene happened.
Xiaoqi's body suddenly emitted several weak white lights. The white light was soft and gentle, as if a woman's hands were caressing the skeleton soldiers.
The skeleton soldiers were hit by the white light and made noises. Each one of them was shattered into pieces and could never get up again.
Seeing this scene, Han Ming was so shocked that he almost sat down on the ground.
"This... this... this is! The body of purification! The body of natural purification!!"
Han Ming finally remembered that in ancient books, there were records of some humans with special physiques, and among them was Xiaoqi, who was born with a purifying body. This physique is said to be blessed by God and has the power to purify the world.
All filthy abilities are the natural nemesis of the undead and demon soldiers.
Han Ming stared at Xiao Qi blankly, feeling filled with surprise.
This kid... is amazing! With him, it will obviously become easier to fight against the demonic army.
Xiao Qi waved the stick for a while, but gradually he could no longer hear any movement in his ears. He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that there was nothing in front of him.
"Ah! This..."
Xiao Qi was stunned by the scene in front of him. After being stunned for a while, he burst into laughter again.
"Mom, mom, I'm coming!"
Xiaoqi was ecstatic and ran towards the palace.
The ground shook again, and a group of skeleton soldiers suddenly emerged twenty meters away from the palace. This time, the skeleton soldiers had some flesh and blood on their bodies, but they still looked like they had no intelligence.
"Go to hell! Go to hell!" Xiao Qi closed his eyes again and waved the stick, and his body once again emitted a faint light.
It's just that all the skeleton soldiers who came out this time were the third stage and first level skeleton soldiers. After the first few were dissolved by Xiao Qi's white light, the white light on Xiao Qi's body seemed to have been exhausted.
"not good!"
Han Ming saw the white light on Xiao Qi disappear, and saw that the skeleton soldier's weapon was about to land on Xiao Qi's head. He quickly gave a soft drink, rushed towards Xiao Qi, and shot out several streams of light blue water vapor with his hands.
, freezing all those skeleton soldiers into ice sculptures.dd
