Thick smoke billowed from the black-red land. Fires rolled up from underground fissures from time to time, distorting the view. Thousands of charred and dead trees stretched into the distance. At the end of the woods, a snow-white mountain peak separated the dark
The abyss sky split in two.
In an open space in the charred woods, a dozen mercenaries were besieging a fiery red Abyss Fire Bull.
The fire bull roared. Its huge four hooves continuously trampled the ground. Every time it fell, a circle of flames appeared like ripples. And its sharp horns and tail like a steel whip were even more deadly threats.
.Every collision and every swing can push the mercenaries away.
However, as time goes by, the momentum of this fire bull has become weaker and weaker. The fatal wounds on its abdomen and neck have made it shaky.
Seeing that the Fire Bull was about to fall, the mercenaries around him couldn't help but look happy.
The abyss is a dangerous place full of opportunities. It contains a variety of precious ores and plants, as well as the mercenaries' favorite prey, the abyssal beasts.
This beast unique to the abyss is very strange.
They live in harsh and harsh environments, and their bodies are very strong. Their fur, bones, teeth and claws are extremely dense, and they are all very good weapon materials.
Not only that, they are also affected by the power of the abyss. No matter what their attributes are, their demonic cores contain a hint of the dark power unique to the abyss.
But this is something that the Warcraft in Avalon Continent does not possess.
Therefore, whether it is for pharmacists, magic pattern masters, blacksmiths, magicians and knights, its magic core is a precious manufacturing and cultivation material. The price of a third-level magic core can reach hundreds of gold.
Compared with ordinary monsters of the same level, it is many times higher.
However, the environment of the abyss is harsh, the demons are ferocious, and the abyssal beasts are rare. It is extremely difficult to hunt them. Therefore, not every time you enter the abyss, you will gain something.
Especially this time, for some reason, many mercenary teams came all the way, but not a single abyssal beast was seen. It seemed that this kind of keen creature had already sensed some danger and stayed away from it.
This team encountered this level 6 Abyss Fire Bull by chance. They pursued it for more than five hours before they surrounded it.
Seeing that the fire bull's movements were getting slower and slower, and the flames under its four hooves were getting smaller and smaller, the leading knight roared, and the sixteen battle rings turned into a red light and attached to the long sword.
For a moment, the sword light suddenly grew to nearly three meters in length, and it slashed hard at the fiery bull!
Boom! A loud noise.
Hit by this sword, the fire bull could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. The flames on his body were extinguished. The black blood instantly spread into a large pool.
Seeing this, the mercenaries burst into cheers.
Among the abyssal beasts, the abyssal fire bull is an extremely rare treasure, and every part of its body has extremely high utilization value.
In particular, the skin of the Abyss Fire Ox is a special armor-making material.
Making it into the lining of the armor can not only enhance the defense, but also improve the physical strength of the wearer. Without taking up the area of the armor that can be engraved with magic patterns, its effect is equivalent to a seventh-level power magic pattern.
And a level 6 enhanced magic pattern.
At the auction, the price of the Abyss Fire Ox's skin is extremely high. Coupled with the Fire Ox's magic core, horns, tail, bones and four hooves, they are all precious weapons and medicine refining materials. It can be said that killing this animal
Level 6 Fire Bull, even if nothing is found in the abyss ruins, it is enough for this mercenary team to make a small fortune.
Looking at Huo Niu's huge body, several mercenary teams not far away who stopped to watch as they passed by also showed envious eyes.
"These guys from the Ice Star Mercenary Group are so lucky," someone sighed, "Why did we go all the way without meeting even a single Abyssal Beast?"
"We are too, we are really evil."
"Forget it, everyone has his own destiny. Maybe next time, it will be our turn."
"Tsk, tsk, how could we have such good luck? This is a level 6 Abyss Fire Bull. If put in the auction house, the skin alone would probably be worth more than 20,000 blue gold coins."
"Twenty thousand blue gold coins? So expensive?"
"Nonsense, don't even look at what the market is like now. Now that the demons are invading, the price of anything is skyrocketing? What's more, this kind of thing can be used to enhance the power of the Heavenly Transformation Demonic Equipment. Twenty thousand blue gold coins is still the most conservative estimate.
, when you encounter fierce competition, it’s not uncommon to get 40,000 blue gold coins at auction.”
"My God, one piece of skin costs 800,000 gold coins."
"Alves is going crazy now."
The crowd was talking a lot. They looked at the mercenary team with growing envy.
In the center of the clearing, the captain of the Ice Star mercenary team, Alves, sent two mercenaries skilled in sword skills to prepare to dissect the prey and harvest the results.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a cold arrow shot out.
The two mercenaries who were walking towards the Fire Bull had their hair on end. They rolled around subconsciously and got out of the way. They heard a whistling sound in their ears, and the wind passing by their faces was like a knife cutting them. When they turned around, they saw
The arrow passed between them and plunged into the fire bull's neck.
This is
Everyone was shocked and angry. They looked towards the direction where the cold arrow flew, and saw a tall, thin bow hunter with a smile on his face, jumping down from a dead tree.
He paid no attention to the angry looks of the crowd, but walked slowly through the crowd, walked to the body of the fire bull, and said to himself: "I'm really lucky. I was just passing by, and I was allowed to hunt."
Kill such a beautiful abyss fire bull."
As he spoke, he suddenly regarded the fire bull as his prey.
Alves's face suddenly darkened, and he took a step forward and said, "Friend, I'm afraid you are mistaken. We killed this Abyss Fire Bull."
The man raised his head, glanced at Alves, pointed at the arrow on the neck of the fire bull and said, "Are you blind? Didn't you see this arrow?"
The crowd immediately went into a frenzy.
Not only the mercenaries of the Ice Star Team were furious, but even the onlookers were filled with indignation.
Mercenaries have mercenary rules.
According to the rules, when mercenaries are killing prey, other people cannot take action at will unless they are in danger or actively request. If they do not take action, they will naturally not be eligible to share the profits.
Although everyone also coveted the Abyss Fire Bull, they only watched from the side from beginning to end without any evil thoughts.
And this guy, after the Ice Star Team had already killed the Fire Ox, he shot a cold arrow at the Fire Ox's body, yet he dared to openly claim that he had hunted the Fire Ox.
In fact, when he shot the arrow, everyone vaguely guessed his intention. But they didn't expect that he would be so shameless.
This is simply too deceiving!
"fart!"
This person's words angered the mercenaries of the Ice Star Team.
The nearest mercenary pulled out his long sword and said angrily: "You are shameless. Everyone can testify that we killed this fire bull. You"
Before the mercenary finished speaking, suddenly, a gust of wind blew by.
The crowd's eyes were dazzled when they saw a thief grinning ferociously. He appeared from behind the mercenary and stabbed his lower back with the dagger in his hand.
"If you dare to steal our prey, you are seeking death!"
The dagger was drawn out, and blood spattered. The Ice Star mercenary's eyes opened angrily, and his body fell forward.
This despicable and miserable scene made everyone present stunned. The mercenaries of the Ice Star Team were even more stunned.
"Son of a bitch!" Alves shouted angrily, like a furious lion. He pounced forward, spitting out a long sword light from the sword in his hand, and struck the thief directly on the head.
"I kill you!"
The thief's pupils suddenly shrank, he did not dare to resist directly, and retreated sharply. At the same time, the archer opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow at Alves.
However, this arrow could not stop the angry Alves.
He didn't even pause. He waved the long sword in his hand, and the raging sword light split the arrow into a ball of exploding ash.
His companion died tragically, and now all Alves could see was the despicable thief.
His people were in the air. Their speed increased instead of decreasing. Several battle rings shot in the air one after another, making loud thunder-like noises. The air was like a lake, ripples appeared in circles, and the huge force of the shock pushed his
The figure turned into a bolt of lightning, and the sword pierced the thief's face.
And at this moment, suddenly, a sharp wind sound came from the side of Alves.
In the void, a tall black shadow stepped out like a demon.
He brandished a two-meter-long thick sword in his hand and slashed at Alves' waist with such ferocity that he was about to cut Alves in two.
"careful!"
"mean!"
The mercenaries exclaimed and cursed loudly.
Although I don't know what method this man used, it is obvious that he, like the thief, hid nearby beforehand, and only launched a sneak attack when Alves was caught off guard.
And judging from the sixteen fully-bright battle rings that this man was spinning, it seemed that he was also a five-star knight of great light. Such a strong man could be so despicable, which made everyone present feel angry.
At the critical moment, Alves reversed his sword and blocked the opponent's sword.
However, one is calculating mentally but not intentionally, and the other is trying to parry. The outcome is already decided before taking action.
There was a loud bang, and Alves flew out like a kite with its string broken. The sword in his hand was broken into two pieces, and his upper body was a bloody mess. Eight battle rings collapsed at once!
His body hit the ground hard, creating a deep ravine and sliding a long way before he came to a stop.
The tall figure just grunted and took a few steps back. However, his offensive was interrupted and he could not continue.
"team leader!"
The mercenaries of the Ice Star Team rushed forward one after another, drawing their swords to stand in front of the man and helping Alves up.
"Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, Gena!" Alves wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared at the sneak attacker, and gritted his teeth.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Alves." The tall figure took two steps forward. His broad and ferocious face flickered brightly and darkly in the light of the fire crackling in the ground.
He smiled ferociously and said, "You didn't expect to meet us here, right?"
