Chapter Thirty-Three: The Silver Thread Demon King Snake
"Jiang Shan," Shen Rui suddenly whispered to Jiang Shan: "This thing is a bit weird, let's follow at the back."
Jiang Shan asked: "What's wrong?"
Shen Rui said: "Don't ask so many questions, just listen to me."
The two walked a few steps and saw that no one noticed them, so they suddenly ducked into the woods nearby. There were many people in the team, and everyone was cautious, so they didn't notice that two people were missing.
Seeing that the people in front of him had gone far, Shen Ruicai took Jiang Shan's hand and said, "Let's go, let's follow."
After a while, the mercenary group finally arrived at the top of the mountain. No one noticed that Yaoshi Yan, Captain Sa and the former Tiehu mercenary group quietly sneaked to the end of the group.
It was quiet all around, not even a monster could be seen here.
"Could it be that this silver-threaded snake has become a spirit? It occupies the mountain as its king and does not allow other monsters to enter the mountain." A mercenary muttered.
"Don't be so timid. Thirty or forty of us can't deal with a small snake?" Another mercenary said with a smile.
The quieter it became, the more nervous everyone felt, and now everyone moved forward cautiously.
"Swish, swish, swish." A strange sound suddenly sounded, and everyone was startled. They took out their weapons and magic weapons and were on full alert.
But after a while, the surroundings returned to calm, and everyone looked around but saw nothing.
"It's okay, everyone, keep moving forward. I passed by here the same way a few days ago." Medicine Master Yan flashed a sly smile.
Captain Sa next to him flashed a solemn expression.
"Rustling, rustling..." After walking a few steps, there was another sound.
"Who?" a mercenary shouted tremblingly.
At this time, the fog color has not completely dispersed, and the forest has added a bit of a terrifying atmosphere.
"Don't be so timid, okay? You were afraid of the silence just now, and now you are afraid of the noise. It's true. Beasts and monsters will definitely make noise when they see so many of us hiding," said an old mercenary. .
After walking a few more steps, a scream suddenly rang out in the forest. The sound was extremely terrifying. With a bang, a mercenary fell to the ground. When everyone gathered around to take a look, they saw that the mercenary's eyes were bulging and his body was black. He was motionless. On his hand, there were two shallow teeth marks.
"Snake, snake venom, is bitten by a silver-threaded snake." A new mercenary said tremblingly.
"It's impossible, the silver-threaded snake is not that poisonous." A middle-aged man who has been in the mercenary team all year round said. If the wound was on the throat, it would be possible to die immediately, but it would be incredible to die immediately after a bite on the hand. Already.
"We'd better go back, it's too dangerous here." Another new mercenary said.
"No, in the mercenary business, you must do things for others after receiving money." Captain Sa came out from behind and said with a stern face.
"Who cares about these hundreds of gold coins? This old man tricked us here with bad intentions. Someone just said that the silver-threaded snake is not that poisonous at all. Besides, I saw the brother who died took the detoxifying pill." The new mercenary said.
As soon as he said it, many people immediately agreed.
"The rules of our Iron Tiger Mercenary Group are that we can only advance but not retreat. If anyone dares to take a step back, I will kill him first." Captain Sa said coldly.
The aura all over his body surged, and a powerful pressure spread out around him. Warriors who have reached the martial spirit level or above can release the strong aura from their bodies.
"Martial Spirit Intermediate." Someone exclaimed.
The mercenaries present were only senior martial arts masters at the highest level. Compared with Captain Sa, they were far different. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
"Keep going inside. As long as everyone is united, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you step back, don't blame me for being rude." Captain Sa added.
"Who are you scaring?" A new mercenary turned around and left.
Before he had taken two steps, a flash of sword flashed by. No one could see clearly how Captain Sa drew the sword, and the new mercenary lay dead on the ground.
"Who else said that I was trying to scare him?" Captain Sa stood up with his sword drawn, majestic.
"Brothers, as long as you help me get the Silver Thread Grass, I can add one thousand gold coins per person when I go back." Standing among several former mercenaries of Captain Sa of the Iron Tiger Mercenary Regiment, Medicine Master Yan said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it's a lifeless flower."
Seeing the fate of the mercenary who died tragically, everyone had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue moving forward.
"Let's go, let's see who's lucky today." A mercenary shook his head and sighed.
"In groups of five, the chance of survival will be greater." Captain Sa said.
After hearing this, the mercenaries hurriedly did what Captain Sa said. They divided into groups of five into seven or eight groups and walked forward. The forest regained calm after a while, and everyone walked away cleanly.
Not long after, two figures quickly came from behind, a young man and a young man. It was Jiang Shan and Shen Rui. Shen Rui carefully looked at the two corpses on the ground and said, "Look, I was right. One was killed."
One was bitten by a poisonous snake and the other was killed by a human being. The murderer was probably one of our own."
Jiang Shan nodded and said with lingering fear: "Thank you for being alert, otherwise we would end up like them. What should we do now?"
Shen Rui said: "Follow us, with them as cannon fodder, we will be safe for the time being."
He looked at the dead body and cursed in his mind: "Damn, there are also extremely poor Skinners here."
It turned out that the two corpses had been turned over in a mess, and the money had obviously been looted. However, the souls of the dead were still there, and Shen Rui deliberately used a broken saber to rummage around on the two corpses so that the old soul could absorb the souls.
Jiang Shan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them ran quickly towards the forest ahead.
Not long after the mercenary team moved forward, there was another scream, and a mercenary fell straight down. His death was exactly the same as the first one - his whole body was black. People in the same group as this mercenary team saw
As soon as the silver shadow flashed, this companion had already fallen down.
"It must be the silver-threaded demon snake." These people said in unison, although they didn't see it clearly.
The Silver Thread Demonic Snake is famous for its speed, so it seems to be the cause of the problem.
Although everyone was focused during the next section of the road, several people were bitten and poisoned and died immediately afterwards.
"That's not right, although the silver-threaded demon snake is fast, it has not reached such a terrifying speed, unless -" An experienced old mercenary finally couldn't help but said. He had seen a real silver-threaded snake, so
There is a saying.
"Unless what?" everyone asked in unison.
"Unless it's the Silver Thread Demon King Snake," the mercenary said worriedly, "If it is it, we will all be dead, because it is a fifth-level monster."
These words hit everyone's heads like a thunderbolt, and everyone stopped.
"We are not leaving. If we want to kill you, we will kill you." Someone said.
"Yes, we are not leaving." Everyone said one after another.
Facing a fifth-level monster, everyone knew that going forward would only lead to death.
"Everyone, the Silver Thread Demon King Snake has a very strong sense of territory. It will definitely kill anyone or monsters who dare to invade its territory. It is also very cunning. We are already within its sphere of influence. The only way now is to fight with it.
It’s a fight.” The mercenary said slowly.
Death shrouded everyone's hearts like a shadow, and suddenly there was silence in the woods. After a long time, someone finally said: "How do you fight against the fifth-level monster? It's all a trap deliberately set by that bastard who is a pharmacist. Hey, where are the people?"
Everyone looked back and saw that Yaoshi Yan, Captain Sa and the former Iron Tiger mercenary group suddenly disappeared.
