That's right.Catherine glanced at Woody: "I want to go and explore that area now."
Woody and Tom were stunned for a moment, and when they looked closely at Catherine's expression, they saw that she didn't seem to be joking, and they looked at each other with stern expressions.Can I ask why?
Woody asked tentatively.Catherine pinched her sleeve, and Tom noticed that the young lady seemed to be nervous, and that the lace edge of the sleeve had been crumpled by her.Uh, can I not say it?
Catherine looked at the red-robed old man for help, but the other party still looked kind, but she didn't mean to help her.Woody hesitated for a moment: You are an employer, generally this kind of thing is decided by you, but I must remind you that it is about to get dark, and the place you said before is very close to the Yin Soul Fruit Forest, and you should also know the attributes of the Yin Soul Fruit, it is very dangerous to go at night.He glanced at Catherine secretly, and found that although she was nervous, she did not mean to change her mind, and paused: And, most importantly, it is now the territory of the Evil Eye, I have just met acquaintances, and I have heard from them that it has been discovered that this is a rather large group of Evil Eyes, the legendary Squint Eye lives on the top of the mountain, and most of his people live in the Yin Soul Fruit Forest.The night is the time when they are active, and the danger we will encounter is several times greater than during the day, if it is not too urgent, I recommend to rest today and go again tomorrow.No, we have to go today.Catherine asserted.Why?
Tom asked suddenly.Because a cough interrupted Catherine's words, she = knew that she was speechless, smiled awkwardly, and said bluntly: In short, I am the employer, and I have the final say.Tom frowned indistinctly, he felt that since the black-armored girl and the red-robed old man came, the employer's attitude had changed, and when he first took on the task, the girl obviously had no experience, to put it mildly, it was innocent and cute, and could be labeled as a fat sheep.After he was injured, he didn't contact his employer for a while, and the employer hired Storm Wolf's men, and then two more guards, which made him feel unafraid.Especially the old man in the red robe, except for the first day when he slightly exposed some aura to deter their group of people, this old man completely restrained his breath, like an ordinary person, which is not something that ordinary people can do.Woody is a handsome man, with a playboy name, he always behaves with you with grace to ladies, even if Catherine's last words are a little stiff, he still keeps a smile: Okay, since Miss Catherine insists, then I'll go and let them prepare.Tom glanced at this guy with disdain, it was because of this bastard's attitude towards every woman that he was very disgusted with this guy's pursuit of his sister, and always felt that his sister would definitely have a hard time in the future with such a scumbag who was flirting everywhere.Woody was stiffened by Tom's obvious disdainful gaze, he was just used to dealing with all kinds of ladies with such a gentlemanly attitude, but he forgot that such a performance in front of his future brother-in-law was obviously a negative score.Woody, who realized this in a trance, walked out almost hand and foot, and when he parted from Tom, the cold attitude of the other party made him completely wilt like a frosted eggplant.Tom returns to their tent to find Julian discussing with Kevin and Kelly about possible scenarios.Martin is not here, he should have gone out to inquire about the news, Martin's personality is lively, and his popularity is also the best, and he usually makes almost all of this kind of inquiry.Pack your things and get ready to go.So fast?
Julian was stunned for a moment, he remembered that he had promised to leave tomorrow, and besides, if he remembered correctly, it was quite dangerous to enter the Yin Soul Fruit Forest at night.Tom went to get his package, and said helplessly: The employer asks for it, but there is no way.Kevin hesitated: It's too dangerous to go at night.If there are people with the Wind Wolf with us, even if they encounter the Evil Eye, as long as it is not above level seven, it is not very dangerous.Although Kevin felt that even if he added the wind wolf, there was a certain danger, but mercenaries are like this, many times, you have to go even if you know that there is danger, so he stopped talking and silently sorted out his package.Kelly was also packing her things, but she was not holding her hands and didn't know what she was thinking.After a while, Martin returned, and learned that they were about to leave, and before he could even tell what he had heard, he joined the group.This time I went out, theoretically I wouldn't stay too long, and there were even people left behind in the camp, but there were relatively few people in Twilight, so the task of staying behind was handed over to the people of the Wind Wolf, and the people of Twilight were also used to bringing the necessary things with them every time they set off, even if the things left behind were lost, they were not worth a few dollars.After some tossing, everyone soon came to Catherine's tent again.Catherine and the red-robed old man were already waiting there, and the Storm Wolf was running over from the other side.After everyone converged, led by the old man in the red robe, he slowly walked down from the path on the side of the cliff, and walked to a quarter of the mountainside, the path turned in other directions, the old man in the red robe took out a map, compared it, and left the path with the people, and went directly into the woods.This area was originally just an ordinary forest, but under the influence of Yin Qi, all the branches became twisted and weird, and some trees had some shapes similar to human faces growing on their bark, making the whole forest extremely terrifying.However, these are already accustomed to the people of the mercenary team, not to mention that these are just ordinary numbers, even if they are mutated dryads, they have seen a lot, of course, they will not be affected in any way.On the contrary, it was the lady Catherine, who shouted and screamed all the way, as if she had seen something incredible, and occasionally asked some of the people of the Wind Wolf to help him collect some things, and cherish them.Woody winked at his henchman, who nonchalantly slowed down and walked with a member of the group who had just gone to collect.After a while, he returned to Woody and shook his head at him, signaling that the materials were the most ordinary things, and there were no worthless things at all.Woody nodded in understanding, but he still asked people to collect the things Catherine had collected while no one was around, and it didn't take much effort anyway, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.Tom is a shield warrior who is quite good at defense, he has been walking behind Catherine and the three of them, as a shield warrior, he has a kind of fighter called reinforcement, which can rush to the side of the person he protects in a moment when needed, and cover him under the shield.The rest of the Twilight Squad surrounds Tom and is able to form various formations as quickly as possible in the event of a fight.Because Julian was a newcomer and had little to no cooperation with them, Julian could only be used as a firepower battery, walking in a fixed position, so as not to hinder the cooperation between them.Not only did Julian not feel angry, but he felt that Tom's decision was good, and if the other party really wanted him to integrate into the team's cooperation in just one day, then Julian would have to wonder if there was something wrong with this person's brain.How good is this, he doesn't need to think about cooperation, as long as the output is good, this way of fighting doesn't need to think, it's relatively much easier.Woody's Wind Wolves belong to the type with a larger number of people, but the average is slightly worse, they also have masters, but the strength of more people is kept at a medium level, so the protection of the periphery is done by them, and after the two detective thieves in front of him came back, he said something to Woody.Woody stepped forward and came to Catherine: Miss Catherine, leave the woods after a little more walk, there is no road ahead, what are you going to do next?
He said he was asking Catherine, but in fact he was looking at the old man in the red robe.The red-robed old man smiled slightly: It's okay, you'll know when you arrive.Woody frowned, but remembering the contract signed by the two sides, he still didn't say anything, and returned to his original position, letting his henchmen remind all his subordinates, be careful, don't capsize in the gutter.He was very wary of the red-robed old man in his heart, if it weren't for the heavy liquidated damages of this mission, even their wind wolves would break their muscles and bones, he really wanted to cancel the mission immediately.As soon as you walk out of the woods, you will see a mountain wall with lush vines growing on it, turning almost the entire mountain wall green.The red-robed old man came to the mountain wall, lifted the vines to look at them, and nodded to Catherine.Catherine was overjoyed and asked Woody's men to search for an entrance to a cave nearby.Woody's eyes flashed, and he ordered his men to do it, but he himself had a heart, and deliberately approached Tom's side and whispered to remind him to pay attention, so as not to suffer.Tom didn't say anything on his face, but he had already put his words in his heart, and he also found that the old man in the red robe had no intention of hiding it at all, either the other party was sure that the treasure inside would be gone, or the other party wanted to kill people.If it's the former, forget it, Tom thinks he's still more creditworthy, but if it's the latter, he won't be killed!
Owen's Diary: Am I Awake Today?
No, not only no, but even Julian doesn't show his face much anymore_(:з"∠ _ I felt that my aura had expired, and not long after I killed Barry, someone came to report that he had found the hole, and the red-robed old man flashed a flash of surprise, and it seemed that even he was surprised that things would go so well.Walk.The old man happily led the people in the direction of the entrance of the cave, but suddenly, feeling something, glanced in the direction they came from, and frowned.What's wrong?
Woody wondered.Hmph, a bunch of rats!
The red-robed old man grimaced and stared dead in the direction of the woods.Woody realized something, and with a wave of his hand, his men immediately formed a circle, protecting Catherine and them in the middle.Just then, there was a loud laugh in the woods, and a familiar figure walked out.Barry?
Tom was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You are following us?
No, no, no, how can this be tracking?
It's not your family's house, so aren't we allowed to stop by?
Barry smiled darkly, showing bad intentions.Are you going to do it with us?
Woody squinted his eyes and moved his wrists, and as he moved, the mercenaries of the Wind Wolf unsheathed their swords and prepared for battle.Barry smiled arrogantly: "Woody, if only our demon dragon is here today, maybe I will really be afraid of you."
Oh?
So, do you still have a helper?
That's right!
Barry raised his head high: You fools, you offended Young Master Abel and didn't know it, no wonder you fell into this situation.Young Master Abel?
Who's that?
Woody was confused, he hadn't heard of Young Master Abel at all, and he didn't know how to offend him.He couldn't help but glance at Tom, who shook his head at him and signaled that he wasn't impressed, which made Woody even more puzzled.While the two sides were talking, the mercenaries behind Barry also appeared one after another, in addition to Barry's demon wolf mercenary group, there were also some mercenary squads, all of which were a little famous squads in Jialai Port.Tom and Woody's faces gradually became solemn, in terms of quality, these mercenaries are far worse than them, but the number is several times that of them, neither Woody nor Tom is sure that they can protect Catherine under the siege of so many people.The two of them looked at each other, thinking about how much hope they could hope of escaping with the people, but soon their thoughts were shattered, and the mercenaries who came out of the woods were still increasing and surrounding them.Fight or run?
Woody looked at Catherine, and it was time to listen to her employer.Catherine looked a little nervous, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled into a rag by him, and she whispered, can you go to that cave?
Tom frowned, he still had to go to the cave at this time?
Is this girl not very clear?
Surrounded by so many people, can you still take the treasure from the cave in full view?
Don't worry, we'll support you, as long as you get to the cave.The red-robed old man suddenly spoke.Tom only felt that his eyebrows were going to be knotted along the way, but the employer had spoken that unless they were going to break the contract, they would have to enforce it.You can rest assured.Catherine seemed to see Tom's displeasure, and explained to him: "As long as I enter the cave, I will have a way to leave them, and when the time comes, we can choose other directions, and we will not meet them."
Tom didn't know if what she said was true or not, but the chance of breaking through head-on was not too great, and he felt that this little girl might be a little sloppy in normal times, but in key matters, it should be reliable, so he agreed to his suggestion.In the end, everyone decided that Woody's Wind Wolf would take Catherine to the cave to prepare first, and Tom would take the Twilight Squad, as well as the black-armored girl and the red-robed old man to be in charge of the palace, and they didn't need to do anything, just delay as much time as possible until Catherine was ready, and then rush into the cave together.Julian didn't have any opinion on the assignment of tasks like this, and even felt that with the old man joining, these mercenaries in front of him were nothing more than dirt chickens and dogs.Tom they can't feel it, but he can tell it very clearly, the one in front of him is a magus, a fire magister has an attack power comparable to a turret, as long as Tom's defensive shield is thick enough, a few rounds of magic are released, this small group of several mercenary squads mixed together will collapse directly.A large number of people means a lot of power, and it also means a lot of thoughts, a small mercenary like this, most of the ideas in his heart are to let others go to death and take advantage of themselves.When everyone thinks so, the combat effectiveness of this team can be imagined, so Julian has always felt that a large number of people is not necessarily a good thing, just look at the temporary team in front of him.Do it!
Tom put the shield in front of him and roared, the edge of the shield opened wide, the bottom was against the ground, and the edge of the shield faintly formed a transparent shield.It's a magic weapon!
Martin's form had vanished by the time Barry appeared, and Kelly and Kevin, one with his bow and arrow, the other with his sword drawn, were firmly guarding Tom's left and right.Julian and the old man in the red robe were protected by Tom's shield, Julian knew that he couldn't keep his hands on it, and reality corrupted them one by one, cursed them, and then used a rain of fire, occasionally mixed with a few dread spells, and those who were scared to run around would disrupt their formation.The red-robed old man glanced at Tom and Julian in surprise, with a bit of appreciation in his expression.He muttered something in his mouth, and then raised his hands slightly.Countless small thumb-sized fireballs appeared at his side, shooting like machine guns at the people on the other side.Julian secretly sighed, he really deserves to be a veteran, although his magic is also powerful, but compared with these old magicians who have accumulated years, the control of fineness is too far behind.His skills come from the system's templates, which are easy to use, but many times, he feels that these skills give people a stiff and rigid feeling.This feeling was also discovered after he became a mage, it seems that after entering the mage level, his understanding of the nature of the world is more profound, as if someone has wiped the fog from the window, making his vision clearer.Because of Tom's protection, Julian completely let go of his magic and turned himself into a humanoid turret, and everyone who was swept by his sight was hung by him with various negative states, which were not obvious at first, and as time passed, they would be hurt more and more, and eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back.Julian tried to learn the methods of the red-robed old man and manipulate his magic more meticulously, which didn't go well at first, but when he succeeded, the power of his Rain of Flames increased by 10% compared to the past!
Julian was overjoyed, not noticing that the old mage next to him was looking at him with a strange expression.Many magicians knew the techniques used by the red-robed old man, especially those who were used to fighting, and each of them had mastered several tips like this to increase the power of magic.
