The Falling Moon Mountains are located at the border between the Principality of Lux and the Holy Silver Dragon Empire.
This is a gathering place for mid- and low-level magical beasts. Every year, a large number of adventurers and mercenaries come here to make a living, hunt magical beasts and monsters, or look for precious minerals and herbs to sell.
A team of mercenaries, carrying hundreds of freshly caught prey, advanced under the cover of night. This was a mercenary team of more than a dozen people, with several knights and warriors leading the way.
In the center of the team, there were several thieves and archers on guard. Their cargo this time was very special.
It was neither the precious corpse of a magical beast nor any precious minerals, herbs or other goods, but a group of low-level monster slaves.
Among them were a large number of goblins, gnolls, and gnolls, numbering several hundred, and mixed in with dozens of dehydrated, shriveled murlocs.
These little monsters were all chained and driven forward with lifeless eyes by a dozen mercenaries.
"Doc, use your water magic to give those murlocs some more water. Don't let them die of thirst, otherwise the employer won't pay you." The leading mercenary leader said after taking a look at the murlocs who were already severely dehydrated.
"Please, boss. Even though I'm a blessed being, my magic consumes my physical strength." A young man who looked to be in his twenties spoke up.
"Stop talking nonsense. If these fishmen die, all of us will be deducted money. If you don't want to take the reward, you don't have to do it." The mercenary leader said.
"Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." The man sighed, stretched out his hand to summon a blue magic circle, and a large amount of water spurted out of it.
Poured on dozens of almost shriveled murlocs, they immediately regained their vitality and began to chatter.
The soldier escorting behind immediately took out a whip and whipped these fishmen hard, which immediately made these guys behave themselves.
"I told you, only dead murlocs are good murlocs. I really don't know why that old man wants these low-level races." The man who had just cast the magic said.
"Stop complaining. We are just doing the job for money. The rest has nothing to do with us. Besides, this mission is easy, isn't it?" said the mercenary leader.
"That's true." It is indeed easy to capture low-level monster species.
The mercenary leader nodded and continued to move forward with the team. After walking for a while, a fire appeared in front of them, and it seemed that someone was camping here.
"Captain! There seems to be someone over there." A thief came to the mercenary leader and whispered.
"I saw it. It's okay. Let's go over and say hello. He should be an adventurer like us." The mercenary leader nodded and said.
In the Falling Moon Mountains, one can often encounter adventurers, either alone or in groups. It is not uncommon to encounter an adventurer camping here.
The group brought their prey to the camp and found a small tent with a bonfire on the ground.
A young man about 1.8 meters tall, with black hair and handsome looks was sitting on the ground to rest. A black two-handed sword was stuck next to him, and a strange humanoid bird was following him.
This big bird looks very strange. It has a single yellow horn on its head, a pair of yellow hooked claws, and a pair of huge feet!
A pair of claws that don't look like bird claws at all, but rather like human feet that have been magnified by wearing shoes.
The strangest thing is that there is a disc-shaped ornament on the belly of this human-shaped bird, which looks a bit out of place.
After seeing the mercenaries and others, the strange bird jumped up and made a squeaking sound.
"Stop arguing, Bemenstein. You're scaring others. Be quiet." The black-haired man patted the giant bird beside him and spoke.
"My friend, we are from the Good Mercenary Group. I am Good, the leader of the mercenary group. We are carrying out an escort mission. Can we rest near you? We have been traveling for a whole day and are very tired." The mercenary leader came to the black-haired man and said.
"Of course, this land is not mine, so you can do whatever you want. My name is Dress, and this is my Warcraft pet Bemundstan." Dress said with a smile.
The mercenary leader nodded upon hearing this, called on his men, and began to set up camp not far from the man.
"Captain: That kid over there won't affect our mission, right?" A thief came up to the mercenary leader Good and said.
"It's not an important mission. We're just escorting some low-level monsters. Besides, the other party is just one person. There's nothing to be surprised about." Gu said.
The other person's attire looked like that of an adventurer making a living in the Falling Moon Mountains.
After comforting his subordinates, Good came and sat down next to the black-haired man. He glanced at the strange bird beside him and spoke.
"My friend, is this big bird of yours your magical pet? It looks a little strange. I have never seen such a bird-like magical beast, nor have I ever heard of it. Especially its big feet, which are totally unlike those of a bird-like magical beast." Good said.
Isn't it? Other bird-like monsters all look like birds of prey, but this humanoid bird is honestly kind of cute! Especially that silly bird face.
Upon hearing this, the giant monster Bemundstein stared at Ode fiercely with his yellow eyes and made a strange squeaking sound.
He seemed very dissatisfied with what the other party said.
This weak and stupid human, if it weren't for the master suppressing me, I would have let you know how powerful I, Lord Behmungstein, the giant cosmic monster and the Crab Nebula creature, am.
I really want to grow bigger immediately and eat all of you, leaving no one alive.
"Stop messing around, Bemundstein, sorry! This is my magical pet. It has a slightly bad temper. It's a kind of raptor monster!" Dress said.
The giant space monster Bemundstein should also be considered a bird monster, right?
"Hello, buddy, my name is Doc. Raptors are generally quite ferocious, let alone one as huge as it. It seems to have a bad temper! I just don't know how strong it is." The man who had just cast the water magic also came over and sat down and said.
"Haha! It is known as the giant monster in the universe. It is very powerful and has a very ferocious temperament. Don't provoke it." The black-haired man said with a smile.
Its current size has just become smaller, and it can scare you to death when it reveals its true form.
If this guy gets angry, he can even swallow Ultraman.
