Salters stood outside the crowd, his skull-like face looking extremely gloomy.
"He killed Genna?" The poisonous lizard beside him twitched his cheek slightly, full of disbelief. So much so that the dagger that usually kept spinning in his hand stopped.
Scar, who is tall and has pale skin, has slightly squinted eyes, like a poisonous snake that has smelled danger, exuding a cold aura. People who are familiar with him know that this is exactly how he behaves when he is extremely shocked.
Originally, in their opinion, this was a very easy and simple task.
He is just a young mercenary with only one star of glory. As long as he is found, the mission will be over. Any one of the nine people can easily cut this kid's neck and then take his head back to him.
Task assignor.
However, their luck doesn't seem to be very good.
Ever since they tracked their prey into the Dark Basin, they have been trying to capture each other's traces. However, wandering around in this maze-like ghost place, not only did they fail to find the kid, they also encountered a wave of demons and a small area.
The dark cloud attacks.
Among the people who arrived here, they were one of the earlier ones. But until now, they have not seen the boy appear.
What they didn't expect was that after waiting and waiting, just when they all thought that the kid had died on the way, they received such news. This kid actually killed Gena. Moreover, he was the same person for several reasons.
A member of a joint team composed of a mercenary team!
These two points made the difficulty of this task skyrocket. They had to re-evaluate this boy's strength and calculate the possible consequences of attacking him.
"Tell me, is this true or false?" The poisonous lizard grinned. The dagger scratched its cheek, and the venomous snake tattooed on the base of its ear looked particularly ferocious as its face pulled.
"I don't believe it," Scar said with a cold expression, "Even if he killed him, he couldn't have done it alone."
"No matter how many people can kill Genna, it means that this kid is not simple." Solst said. "At least the ability to seize opportunities is not simple."
The executioners were silent for a while.
In the previous intelligence, this kid killed Fred, the strong man from the Sanctuary. At that time, everyone thought that it was just an accident. Moreover, the two alien Sanctuary played a major role in the battle. Otherwise, even if Fred
No matter how old Rhett is, this kid doesn't stand a chance.
But this time, he killed another five-star knight of great light. If he said it was accidental, he was obviously deceiving himself.
As Thorst said, this at least proves this kid's ability to seize opportunities.
And seizing opportunities is also a manifestation of strength. If it were a one-star glory knight, even if the opportunity was in front of him, he might not be able to seize it.
"Of course, don't worry too much," Thorst said, "We are hiding it, and he is showing it. Even if there is a chance, it is our chance."
"What about the others?" one of the executioners asked.
Mercenaries are a group of unruly guys who value friendship. Since this kid fought alongside them and killed Genna, he is likely to be looked down upon by other mercenaries. Once a conflict breaks out, it will be very difficult.
It's hard to guarantee that those guys won't be passionate.
The Dark Executioners are notoriously vicious and most people would not dare to provoke them. But this does not mean that the nine of them can be enemies with hundreds of mercenaries.
This is a trouble.
"Don't worry. These mercenaries are not monolithic. If they really enter the ruins and see the treasure, well, it would be good if they don't fight on their own." Solst sneered. "Besides, even if they are all protected,
That kid. At least, Moton is our natural ally."
Salters' words made everyone smile grimly.
"Demon Butterfly," Salters said, "go and talk to Morton."
"Yes." A handsome man with a body and temperament as feminine as a woman nodded, smiled, and walked towards the direction of the Thunderstorm mercenaries.
"Then, wait." The dagger in the poisonous lizard's hand started turning again, looking into the distance, "Strange, what is that woman doing here?"
The executioners set their sights on Sandra.
In the world of assassins, the Dark Executioners and the Hand of the Blood Demon are both the top assassin organizations and the most fiercely competitive rivals. They know each other very well. They had already noticed Sandra as soon as she arrived.
However, they did not know that the Blood Demon Hand was invited by Princess Elizabeth to deal with the same target. Therefore, they were quite surprised that the other party appeared here. Especially the vice president of the Blood Demon Hand, Storm Queen Sandra, came here.
, it seems even more unusual.
"And Princess Scarlett." Gilader frowned, making his tattooed face look like a crumpled painting.
"She was the one who presided over the incident in Munich. The result was a complete failure. Otherwise, Woz and Old Barno would not have come to us." The poisonous lizard said, "Logically speaking, she should have returned to the imperial capital.
How could you bring someone here? Could it be..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Salters.
However, Salters didn't seem to hear his question. He turned his head and looked into the distance, his eyes dancing in the deep sockets of his eyes, looking a little surprised and uncertain.
"What's wrong?" the poisonous lizard asked.
"Something is wrong," Salters said with a serious expression. "One of the skeleton soldiers I left in that direction discovered the cloud, and it was very large."
………
A skeleton archer leaps in the mountain stream.
After several ups and downs, it climbed to the top of a cliff. Just when it turned around and was about to walk forward along the ridge, suddenly, it seemed to realize something, and its head suddenly turned to the left.
The vast abyss stretches as far as the eye can see. On the horizon, a gray cloud tide is gathering rapidly. It is an extremely spectacular sight. The gray clouds form a wall with a height of a thousand meters, just like a huge tsunami wave.
Keep rising.
Everything seems so small in front of this gray cloud. The top of the cloud seems motionless. But under your feet, the thick clouds are constantly surging, swallowing the ground, trees, rocks, hills, mountains... everything.
, were eroded little by little and disappeared into the gray clouds.
Demons and abyssal beasts are on the run.
At first, they were just a few scattered dots under the huge waves. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't be able to see them at all. But soon, countless demons and abyssal beasts came out from nowhere and headed towards
Running in the opposite direction of the gray cloud.
As the number increased, it gradually formed a black torrent. Wherever it passed, the earth shook, trees were broken, and it was a mess.
The skeleton archer watched all this quietly. The soul fire in the eye hole danced.
The same scene also happened in other different areas.
There are skeleton swordsmen walking on the plains, skeleton swordsmen flowing in the river, and even higher-level skeleton commanders. They are in different environments, but the thousand-meter gray wall on the horizon is the same.
………
When pictures came together in Roy's consciousness, his steps suddenly paused.
"What's wrong?"
Several captains walking beside him turned their heads at the same time and glanced at him.
At this moment, a combined mercenary team of more than 130 people was walking through a vast grassland, heading in the direction of the white mountain peaks. Everyone was in a high mood, talking and laughing all the way. After a few prayers for victory, until
It is still talked about with gusto.
However, no one knows that their situation has become more and more dangerous.
Only a few captains heard Roy's speculation about the closure of the abyss in the cave. In order to avoid panic, the news has not been announced until now. Therefore, few people know that this is an escape trip. And because of the previous
Delay, time has become increasingly pressing.
If the abyss has really closed, it means the arrival of dark clouds and storms.
There is no doubt about this.
For thousands of years, human exploration of the abyss has proven this point countless times. It can be said that this is an experience summed up with life and blood.
If we were outside the abyss maze now, everyone would rush towards the first level of the abyss without hesitation. That is the only safe haven. It is a place that cannot be touched by clouds and storms. But in the depths of this abyss maze, in this strange place
In the dark basin, even if you want to run, you don't know where to run.
The only hope seems to be the mountain in the center of the basin. The person who can build a building in the abyss must be a super strong man with great power. Only in the ruins he left behind can everyone find a place to hide.
A safe place from dark clouds and storms.
Of course, that's just speculation.
No one knows where their destiny will lead them, let alone whether there is a glimmer of hope.
Along the way, the captains would cast their eyes on Roy from time to time.
While other mercenaries were shocked by Roy's display of strength, only they knew that Roy's importance was not only because of his extraordinary strength, but also because of his amazing scepter talent.
There is no relationship.
He is important because he was the first to discover the crisis. At the same time, his calmness and wisdom, his ability to identify directions in the maze, and the elixir he gave Sieg and others to resist the dark clouds all made him
He became everyone's reliance and the de facto leader of this team.
At this moment, seeing Roy suddenly stop, the captains' hearts skipped a beat.
From Roy's eyes, everyone saw a trace of solemnity. Even when fighting Genna, Roy's eyes had never changed like this. Those clear blue eyes with a hint of confusion have simply become
This is the symbol of this young man with countless secrets.
"We have to speed up. Otherwise, we might be in danger." Roy said, turning his head and looking into the distance behind him.
"What danger?" Everyone turned their heads and looked around.
The team marched on a plain with a broad view. The nearest demons and abyss monsters were far away. The red starlight and long river-like black clouds above their heads were also calm. They really couldn't tell.
What danger is coming?
Roy said worriedly: "Storm."
"Storm?" Olivia murmured and repeated, her eyes suddenly widened, "You mean... cloudy storm?!"
Roy nodded solemnly.
Although everyone did not see any signs of the storm, and they did not know how Roy knew about it. But when they saw Roy nodding, several captains turned around at the same time without hesitation and issued orders to their teams.
