The next morning, where the Rampage Mercenary Group was stationed, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn in the central tent.
"Leah, let the whole team reorganize themselves. Let's exit the Sunset Mountains this morning!" Sitting at the table, Captain Nadeau sighed.
"Captain, are you sure? In this case, we will return in vain this time. In order to recruit enough people, we almost spent all the savings of the regiment. If we go back like this..."
Leah hesitated to speak.
"There is nothing we can do about it," Nadeau sighed again, and continued: "As of yesterday, sixty-two of our members have died. With the current strength of our mercenary group, if we encounter another situation like yesterday,
If Feng Lang speaks once, the result will not be something you or I can bear!"
Looking at Nado's helpless look, Leah also lowered her head and fell silent. The two of them discussed the advancement and retreat of the mercenary group all night long, but they didn't expect that in the end they would have to choose this cost-lost method.
She originally wanted to use the benefits brought by this mission to grow the mercenary group, but she didn't expect that she ended up with nothing. She lost her wife and lost her troops. When Lia thought about this, she felt even more depressed.
Just when Nadeau was about to say something to comfort Leah, a squad leader came in from outside the tent with a letter.
"Captain, when I was arranging the team just now, I found that a magician had left alone. He left a letter and told him to give it to you, Commander." The person handed over the letter and said.
Nado was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the letter and asked: "Magician? In the Sunset Mountains where monsters are rampant, someone would leave the team alone? Is it that magician?"
"It's the mage we temporarily recruited in Tamros City a month ago. His name seems to be Yi Yun."
"Yi Yun? Is he that young three-star mage? Why did he leave?" Liya also asked at this time.
"It's that young man! As for why he left privately, I don't know either," the team leader replied.
Nado listened to the questions and answers between the two, and a clear and elegant little face appeared in his mind. He suddenly recalled the young magician who killed two wind wolves at a critical moment yesterday.
.
Nadeau pondered for a while and opened the letter in his hand...
There were cliffs, canyons, and jagged rocks. Yi Yun was walking towards the exit of the Sunset Mountains. Not long after, he came to a mountain peak.
"Boss, you said that after they found that I left less than 10% of the mithril, the mercenary group should have completed this mission, right?" Yi Yun suddenly asked.
"Of course! Your goal for this trip was originally to find the amethyst mine, but now you have found the mithril mine. Although more than 90% of it was mined by you, mithril is one of the rare mines, far more powerful than the purple crystal mine."
Crystal mines are very rare and can be considered a huge benefit to the Rampage Mercenary Group." Monroe said matter-of-factly.
"Well, this is all I can do to prevent the mercenary group from returning empty-handed. I probably won't meet them again in the future," Yi Yun said with a smile.
As he spoke, Yi Yun gently caressed Qiuqiu, who was sleeping in his arms. Qiuqiu had been sleeping since he took four big mouthfuls of mithril last night.
After waving his hand, Monroe hummed and said: "They have always treated you as just a three-star mage, and the treatment they gave you was not high. Speaking of which, it is you who treated this mercenary group favorably. However,
Although you have now reached the level of a four-star disciple, you don't know any magic at the disciple level, so it's no wonder they misjudged you."
Yi Yun shrugged upon hearing this and said helplessly: "That's why I want to enter a higher education college to study magic."
Sighing, Monroe shook his head and said: "If I had known that I would meet a freak like you, I should have listened to the old guys and memorized all the magic. Now you don't have to think about it all in the camp.
The solution is to go to the academy to study."
"Why do you have to memorize it, boss? Didn't our ancestors think that we could just write it down?" Yi Yun asked curiously.
With a snort, Monroe said disdainfully: "If there was such a simple method, would the old guys still force me to memorize magic spells that are difficult to pronounce?"
"As long as anything is placed in the red lotus, it will gradually be absorbed and decomposed as time goes by. An ancestor once placed a fifth-grade magic weapon in the red lotus for collection. In less than three hundred years, that weapon
All the energy of the fifth-grade top-level magic weapon was absorbed and turned into a piece of scrap metal, which made this ancestor feel heartbroken for a long time!"
Yi Yun was shocked when he heard this!
Munro glanced at Yi Yun and then said: "Even the top level five magic soldiers are like this. How can an ordinary letter animal skin be preserved intact if it is left in the red lotus for thousands of years?"
"But, boss, haven't you stayed in the Red Lotus for nearly seven thousand years? Why..." Yi Yun was a little confused.
"I can exist peacefully in the Red Lotus in the state of my soul, so not only will I not be absorbed, but I can also repair the broken soul inside. Anything other than this will gradually be absorbed by the Red Lotus over time.
Absorb it, otherwise why would I not have inherited some family items such as ancestral magic weapons and pass them on?" Munro said with a smile.
"Then... the fire concentrate will also be absorbed by the water placed in the red lotus?" Yi Yun thought about it and then asked.
"Of course! But you don't have to worry about this. The speed of Honglian's absorption is very slow. Considering the huge elements contained in the concentrate, if it is really to be completely absorbed, it will take at least thousands of years.
." Old God Monroe said indifferently.
"That's it, haha." Yi Yun felt relieved.
Yi Yun was chatting with Monroe in his mind, but he was walking nimbly among the mountain streams and dense forests, sometimes jumping on towering ancient trees, sometimes jumping on strange rocks in the canyon, heading all the way towards the exit of the Sunset Mountain Range.
On such a complex terrain, the war horse will only be limited by the terrain and become a burden, but he is like a cunning monkey, moving freely between the mountains and forests, jumping or jumping, as fast as a galloping horse, two hours later
, when he jumped over another long mountain gorge─
In front of the canyon is a larger mountain forest. In addition to many towering trees, there are also countless large rocks scattered here and there. In front of Yi Yun, there are two large monsters feasting on the corpse of an unknown beast on the ground.
The body is a mixture of yellow and brown fur, the body is like a mature tiger, and the fangs in the mouth are exposed. It is actually a third-level thunder monster with two heads, the "Ferocious Thunder Tiger".
In the past month of following the Rampage Mercenary Group, Yi Yun has also encountered several attacks from fierce thunder tigers. Although its speed is not as fast as that of the Wind Wolf, the force of its attacks and bites has reached the level of a four-star human.
Due to the power of the warriors, during the time he stayed in the mercenary group, more than twenty of his companions died from the fangs of the fierce thunder tiger monster.
"They are two ferocious thunder tigers!" Yi Yun was secretly shocked. After several encounters in the past month, he knew how terrifying the ferocious thunder tigers were. If there was only one, Yi Yun would be able to cope with it, but if they joined forces,
, most likely he is going to run away.
Just as he was about to take a detour before being targeted by the Fierce Thunder Tiger, Monroe's voice suddenly came to his ears: "Wait a minute! Yi Yun, your actual combat experience is not enough. Now you are a very good one."
Chances are, you can defeat those two monsters with your own strength!"
"Boss, are you wrong? A mature Fierce Thunderstorm Tiger is comparable to a four-star warrior. Now that we have both of them together, I have no chance of winning!" Yi Yun asked softly in disbelief.
Unexpectedly, Munro shook his head and said: "You are already a four-star warrior now, and you also have the status of a magic disciple. How can you know whether you win or lose if you don't fight? If you blindly rely on cultivation to improve your level, you can only become an ordinary person.
A strong man, a real strong man can only be born from blood and fire. As long as you have a mentality of avoiding battles and challenges if you can, no matter how high your progress is in the future, you will only be able to
Just become a second-rate strong man!"
Yi Yun was shocked when he heard this!
"A truly powerful warrior is not only an improvement in strength, but more importantly, a sublimation of mentality. Not afraid of strength, not accepting weakness, and never escaping from any challenge. This is the mentality that a strong person should have, and it is also unbreakable.
The way of the strong! If a person can have such a state of mind, even an ordinary and inferior person can turn mediocrity into excellence and stand above hundreds of millions of people. Aren't you such a person?
?" Munro said, his tone gradually turning stern, and he stared at Yi Yun.
Yi Yun listened silently to Men Luo's words and was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly and said: "Boss, I understand! I shouldn't be afraid of these two third-level monsters. I should challenge them and defeat them. This is what I should do.
Even if I can't beat you...I can still escape, right?"
"Defeat before you win...Do you...do you still have the arrogance of a warrior?" Munro pointed at Yi Yun with trembling hands, and was so angry that he was almost speechless.
Facing the red-faced Monroe, Yi Yun just looked innocent: "How much is a warrior's arrogance worth? I still have a lot of things to do. If you know you can't beat me but don't run away, wouldn't you be stupid?
"
While the two were talking, the two ferocious thunder tigers that were eating had also discovered Yi Yun. They roared and approached Yi Yun step by step with the murderous intent unique to monsters.
"If you can't even defeat the Level 3 Fierce Thunder Tiger, then how can you avenge your family's destruction in the future? And how can you find Hank? If you can't be defeated, just die here to save you in the future.
If you fail to take revenge, you will die at the hands of your enemies!" Monroe said coldly.
Yi Yun's whole body trembled violently. He stayed for a while and murmured to himself: "If I can't become a strong man, avenge my grandfather and the others, and find Hank, then what's the point of my life? If I can't even do this
I can't even handle two level three ferocious thunder tigers, so how can I reach the realm of the strong in the future?"
Yi Yun murmured, and two ferocious thunder tigers came three meters in front of him. Two violent roars of "Hoar!" rang out at the same time, and two yellow shadows disappeared in place, and at the same time they shot towards Yi Yun.
The clouds rushed over.
At the same time, Yi Yun's body exuded a red and purple halo. Shan Lei took out the dragon soul sword, and a purple flame flashed in his dark eyes. He threw away all thoughts of escaping and moved faster.
The Thunder Tiger, which was rushing towards him at the opposite speed, flew towards it, like thunder, creating a thrilling blood-red light in mid-air.
"Fight!" Yi Yun roared with boundless fighting spirit in his heart.
