The man with glasses ran a long distance before stopping. The calmness and composure on his face had long disappeared, and cold sweat was sliding down his temples.
Before his companions came back, the man with glasses knew that they were in danger, and the flush on his face gradually turned into blue.
They actually capsized in the ditch!
If they hadn't seen that there were only two people, they wouldn't have gone over to steal the prey. Who knew that their companions were nearby.
The man with glasses only saw one person, but the other person killed Wu Dazhuang with one move. He didn't dare to take the risk, so he left the others and ran away.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that these people looked very powerful just now. They were just bluffing.
The reason they dared to openly snatch the prey was because they saw that Zhang Hao and Lin Ying were young and should not be strong, but they never expected that they would step into a hole.
The man with glasses returned to the place where the Scarlet Blood Mercenaries were temporarily camped with a gloomy face.
"Chen Gao, why are you the only one who came back? Where are Dazhuang and the other three? Did you leave them on the road?" The person asking the question laughed.
"I think they were really lost on the road." The man with glasses had an ugly expression and his voice was gloomy.
The companion's expression changed slightly, "How come...are they all dead? Who is so bold as to go against the Scarlet Blood Mercenaries!"
The man with glasses waved his hand tiredly, "I'll go report to the deputy leader first, and we'll talk later."
"Someone stole your prey and killed three of our mercenaries?" The deputy leader had a scar on his face, which was left when he saved the leader. It ran across half of his face. When he was angry, the scar would be even more terrifying.
"Yes, deputy captain, you must avenge our brothers. We have already said that they are members of the Feixue Mercenary Group. Not only did they mock Feixue, they also killed our three brothers. This is a provocation to the Feixue Mercenary Group!" The man with glasses looked so angry when he cried, which was completely different from the arrogance he had when facing Lin Ying and the others.
The deputy head laughed coldly, "Very good, do you know who those people are?"
The man with glasses shook his head. "I don't know. They didn't sign up. I only know that there are three young people, one of whom uses a spear."
"Not very old?" The deputy leader frowned. "Could he be a student of Penglai University?"
The man with glasses rolled his eyes when he heard this, "They don't look very experienced, but it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?"
The deputy team leader suddenly sneered, staring into the glasses man's eyes as if he could see through him, "Chen Gao, you are still playing tricks in front of me. All the students who came to Penglai University for training this time are freshmen. You said they stole your prey? You stole their prey, but failed and killed three of them. I believe it."
"Deputy Captain, I..." The man with glasses was startled and didn't dare to look at the deputy captain at all.
"Okay, go talk to Wu Bingshan about this matter yourself." The deputy commander was impatient to listen to his explanation. It was just a few minions who died, and it was not his turn to step forward.
The man with glasses was not surprised but happy, "Yes, I will go right away."
Wu Bingshan is Wu Dazhuang's younger brother. He and Wu Dazhuang are two extremes. His elder brother is born strong and powerful, while his younger brother is born thin and small. However, because he has a very weak sense of presence, he was born to be an assassin. Unlike his elder brother who was a minion, he was highly valued by the leader of the Crimson Blood Mercenary Group not long after joining the group.
If Wu Bingshan knew that his brother Wu Dazhuang was dead, he would definitely want revenge. The deputy commander asked him to find Wu Bingshan, and he also had the idea of letting them take revenge on their own.
Not long after the man with glasses walked out of the deputy commander's tent, his collar was suddenly grabbed tightly by someone. When he turned around, he saw Wu Bingshan's sinister and terrifying face.
"Chen Gao, how did my brother die? You took my brother out, why did you come back alive, but my brother died?"
The man with glasses was unhappy. He thought that since his brother couldn't die, he should die. Although he thought so, he didn't dare to show it.
Although he was a small team leader, his status was not as high as that of Wu Bingshan, who was highly valued.
"Bingshan, calm down. I was just about to talk to you about this. Put me down first. I can't breathe. Now I'm the only one who knows who killed your brother."
The last sentence succeeded in making Wu Bingshan let go of his hand, "You'd better give me a satisfactory reason."
The glasses man's excuse couldn't fool the deputy leader, but it was enough to fool Wu Bingshan, who loved his brother so much.
In fact, Wu Bingshan didn’t care what the reason was for his brother’s murder, as long as the other party was the one who killed his brother.
"Penglai University, a three-person team, using spears as magical weapons, right? I remember that!" Wu Bingshan's face was grim.
Unlike when he first joined Feixue, Wu Bingshan is still that thin and weak man, but his personality has changed drastically.
"Bingshan, the one who killed your brother was not the one who used the spear, but the one who used fire." The man with glasses reminded.
Wu Bingshan turned around and went back to his tent. When he came out, he had nothing in his hands. He walked to the man with glasses with a ferocious expression, "Now, take me to find those three people immediately."
"Hey, won't there be any problems with the deputy captain?" The man with glasses didn't want to see the deputy captain again. He was almost scared to death just now.
Wu Bingshan frowned.
The man with glasses knew at a glance that he had not asked the deputy leader, and quickly said, "You should tell him. The signal in the disaster area at the gate is not good. If there is any emergency, it will be troublesome if we can't get in touch."
Wu Bingshan glared at him before going to find the deputy head of the group, who came out in less than five minutes.
The deputy head of the group gave him five days. If he still couldn't find the person after five days, he had to come back no matter what.
Although the time was a bit short, Wu Bingshan knew that this was the maximum that the deputy head could give, so he agreed.
…
Gao Han and the other two didn't know that the relatives of the person they killed were on their way to seek revenge on them.
Before they knew it, they had already entered the disaster area at the gate.
The spiritual energy around became more and more dense. These were no longer mutated land creatures, but deep-sea monsters.
The deep-sea monsters are the most terrifying existences in the disaster area. Although they look terrifying, almost 70% to 80% of their bodies are treasures, especially their flesh, which contains extremely rich spiritual energy.
If the spiritual energy contained in the flesh of mutant creatures is one, then that of deep-sea monsters is four or five times as much, and the price sold outside is also very different.
A pound of mutant creature meat can be sold for one thousand yuan, and a pound of deep-sea monster meat can be sold for five thousand or ten thousand yuan.
What's more risky is that deep-sea monsters can only be encountered if you go deep into the disaster area, and even if you encounter them, you may not be able to kill them.
The toothfish is one of them. Its teeth are different from those of ordinary fish. They are thin and long. Few of the food it hunts can escape, so its teeth are also a material for refining weapons.
This was the first deep-sea monster that Gao Han and his team encountered after entering the disaster area. Two small feet had evolved under its abdomen, and it could live on land as long as it did not leave the water for too long.
It was impossible to defeat it in a head-on confrontation, so Gao Han set a trap to lure the toothfish farther away from the water.
Fish are afraid of fire, especially the fire of weapon masters. Their fire has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. It is different from the fire released by magic weapons of spirit refiners of other attributes and is inherently threatening.
By the time the toothfish realized that the flame was wrong, it was too late.
However, Gao Han also used the power of auxiliary talismans and quasi-spiritual weapons to finally break through the toothfish's defense.
There is not much edible meat on the toothfish. Three people worked together to cut it down to a skeleton, and only got less than two hundred pounds of meat. Its real weight is on the skeleton.
Gao Han cut off its teeth and put them into the Yayoi Ring, along with some of the meat.
There is a black woven ring on his wrist, which is a storage tool. Because his movements are so natural, no one has noticed that he has been using the Yayoi Ring.
The time in the Yayoi Ring is equivalent to stopping, so raw meat will not go bad even if it is kept for a year. However, storage items are different. After a year, there will be some changes and it will not be as fresh as when it was first put in.
"Brother Gao, the meat of this toothfish is very spiritual. It's even more spiritual than that in the disaster area." Zhang Hao swallowed.
He had heard that the meat of deep-sea creatures was tender, and now it seemed that this was probably true.
"Well, take a rest tonight and have grilled fish for dinner." Gao Han said to Lin Ying, "You guard the surroundings first."
林英有些心不在焉,过了几秒才反应过来,“哦,好。”
高寒也没管他,趁着太阳还没完全下山,起火开始烤鱼。
一旦进入夜里,再起火的话,会引来一些奇奇怪怪的生物。
“高大哥,林英还在想他哥哥吗?”章浩一边盯着烤鱼吞口水,一边问。
上次他正好在收拾东西,没听到他们的谈话,因此不知道林英有没有从那个佣兵口中问出什么消息。
事实上林英的运气也没那么好,对方什么也不知道。
“这么久都没有他哥哥的消息,也不知道现在是什么情况。”章浩感慨地说道。
“安心吃你的烤鱼吧。”高寒将烤好的鱼塞进他嘴里。
章浩虽然馋,但还是被烫了一嘴,要不是这次灾区历练,他都不知道高大哥有一手烤鱼的本事,比他在外面吃过最好吃的烤鱼店,烤的还要好吃。
高寒烤了很多,多出来的直接放到具有保鲜功能的弥生戒里,那么多鱼肉,可以吃上几天。
上次吃的全是变异陆地生物的肉,哪怕对修为有好处,也腻得慌。
这鱼肉就不一样了,入口即化,里面的灵气直接在嘴里化开,顺着喉咙钻到经脉各处,吃了几块,立刻感觉灵气快要把身体撑爆了一样。
“不行不行,我要去打坐修炼一下,我受不了了,这几块鱼肉蕴含的灵气也太浓了。”章浩被灵气涨得脸颊通红,赶紧钻进帐篷里去。
“效果有这么好吗?”林英刚吃一块,被章浩过激的反应愣了一下。
高寒最为淡定,“他这段时间跟着我们历练,有收获很正常,本来也快突破了。”
林英点点头,他虽然心里有事,但是也能感受到身体很明显的变化,不论是修为的增加,还是体质的变化,都有了进步。
这和他以前跟哥哥一起去灾区的历练区别很大,但仔细一想就知道原因。
他和哥哥以前去的都是低级灾区,那里的灵气和变异生物,九成都被清空了,留给后人的,也没多少了,在那里没有感受到进步很正常,只能猎些变异生物作为小补贴。
又想起哥哥,林英的情绪又低落了几分,他什么时候才能找到哥哥。
……
林云以前的运气其实很不错,因为他有着别人没有的第六感,而且他的第六感一向很准,几乎没有出过差错。
但是与第六感不相匹配的是,他的实力不行,有天赋的弟弟,年纪又还小,现在还在花钱培养的阶段,所以他这个做哥哥的就义不容辞。
林云为什么实力差,还经常跑灾区,就是为了他弟弟。
为了加入那些去灾区而临时组成的队伍,他甚至不惜透露出一点自己的能力,因展现出来的能力得到认可,最终成功加入队伍里。
不过林云也深谙成人的规则,所以进入灾区后,他会刻意制造一些自己的第六感偶尔失灵的情况,使队伍里的人相信他的第六感只有五六成准确的机率。
否则一旦被这些人发现,他的第六感其实已经达到百分之九十以上的机率,他的危险就来了。
这一招有好有坏,虽然有时队伍会不信任他的第六感,但是也一直保他平安无事。
靠这一招,他每次都能全身而退,直到遇到那个黑衣男人。
林云发现,他的运气居然在走下坡路了。
如果他早知道,常胜的身份不一般,当时,他说什么也不会加入陈闳井的队伍里。
他的队员被那个黑衣男人杀死之后,林云就有强烈的预感,他有麻烦了,当时就马不停蹄的离开灾区,他以为麻烦是灾区里的,后来才知道,常胜带来的,那就是外面的。
常胜那个傲慢得有尾巴就能翘上天的死孔雀,其实是某个地方黑组织的老大的儿子。
虽然是私生子,但是那个黑老大最疼爱常胜,因为他是黑老大所有子女中,修炼天赋最好的。
被黑老大寄以厚望的常胜,突然死在灾区里,连尸首都没有,他这个唯一存活的人就成了对方的目标。
林云东躲西藏了一个月,甚至不敢跟弟弟见面,只能靠通讯器联系,他也不敢说自己的处境有多危险,否则他相信自己那个蠢弟弟一定会不顾一切离开蓬莱大学来找他。
可惜没躲过,最后还是被黑老大的人抓到了,万幸的是,只有他知道那个黑衣男人长什么样。
虽然不知道怎么找那个黑衣男人,但是他有第六感,黑老大显然也知道,这才留他一命,不过现在跟死了也没有太大的差别。
“接下来该往哪里走?别耍花招,你那个弟弟以后总不会一直待在蓬莱大学里。”
林云被说话的人推了一下,差点跌倒,还是脸着地的那种。
