Jinyang

() By the edge of the woods, Rhodes sat on a rock and used branches to wreath flowers on the ground.

Naitang was looking for food to fill his bottomless belly, only the leopard puppet stood there quietly and motionless.

"—Ah! Kill me! You devil! Kill me quickly!!!"

A shrill howl came from the depths of the woods. Rhodes shuddered and looked into the deep bushes with concern. Seeing that there was no one, he circled again.

Intermittent screams kept ringing out, and Rhodes trembled all over every time he heard it. Looking at the milk candy on the side, he seemed to shake his ears unknowingly, and kept eating non-stop. It seemed that he was used to it. up.

This is from not long ago.

After catching two bandit leaders, Luo Xiu interrogated the mastermind, but to no avail. He asked his younger brother to wait outside the woods while he wanted to interrogate the information himself. There are often times like this in the battlefield, so Luo Xiu is quite proficient in such tasks as interrogating prisoners.

Rhodes began to swear that he would help, but he couldn't stand it after a while!Luo Xiu didn't force his younger brother to stay. No one would be willing to do torture if it wasn't a massacre or a mentally ill person.

The screams gradually subsided, and finally Luo Xiu washed his hands and walked out of the woods.

"Brother! How is it?" Rhodes asked immediately.

"Well, I asked, but the two of them don't know much, so that's the only way to go." Luo Xiu wiped his hands, talking with his brother as usual.

"So did you find out who the mastermind is?" Rhodes was curious.

Luo Xiu didn't answer right away. After pondering for a moment, he looked at his younger brother and asked, "Who did you have conflicts with in the academy? Or who did you have feud with before?"

Seeing his brother asking such a question, Rhodes knew that their target was himself. Thinking carefully, Rhodes replied with certainty: "I didn't have any serious conflicts with anyone in the academy, and I don't usually leave the academy, so it's impossible to make enemies. ?”

Nodding his head, Luo Xiu agreed with this statement. He knew what his brother's personality was. Rhodes was not the kind of competitive person, and he was also kind. In addition, he was not very outstanding, nor was he a genius in cultivation. Too likely to be envied.

"I didn't expect that the Aiwen family would do such a despicable act!!" Luo Xiu gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly. Seeing his younger brother who still didn't know why, Luo Xiu didn't explain anything, but reminded:

"Brother! You have to be careful of the Aiwen family in the future! Try to stay away from them and avoid direct conflicts! If it is not necessary, don't leave the academy casually. Even if you want to leave the academy, you have to form a team with several classmates or mentors!"

"Is it the Aiwen family? The Aiwen family, one of the four major families of the Holy Dragon!?" Rhodes opened his mouth wide in surprise, surprised at the strength of the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Hmm! It should be what they did. Brother, something happened in the fortress. Maybe it's because of this, that's why you got hurt..." Luo Xiu had nothing to do with the Aiwen family. For such a powerful family, if personal force It is not strong enough to a certain extent, and it is impossible to confront it head-on!

Knowing the strength of the enemy, Rhode nodded quickly and followed his brother's instructions seriously.

Speaking of this time, I was really lucky. If Luo Xiu didn't happen to come to see my brother, then my brother might really be killed this time!Thinking of this, Luo Xiu was very grateful.

The itinerary remains unchanged.

After finishing the tail, Luo Xiu and his younger brother hurried on the road with all their strength, and soon arrived at the border town closest to Qianyuan City—Luoge Town!

Luo Xiu has special feelings for Rogge Town, because this is the first human town that Luo Xiu entered. Recalling all the things with Celia, Luo Xiu's heart is full of tenderness.

"Rest in the small town tonight, prepare the things we need to go into the forest, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Luo Xiu followed his memory, found the hotel where he used to live, and booked the same room.

The furnishings in the house have not changed, but the floor has been replaced with a new one. The original old floor was burned out by the flames caused by Luo Xiu's breakthrough in foundation building. For this, Celia also compensated the innkeeper a lot less money.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu chuckled lightly, deep thoughts and deep pain welling up in his heart.

……

On the distant Dragon Island, a beautiful girl was caressing an ordinary ring in her hand, and she was also thinking about the person in her heart.

……

Before setting off to enter the forest, the Luo Xiu brothers went to the mercenary guild first to see if there were any tasks that could be completed in the forest by the way, and they could earn some extra money and increase mercenary points.

Speaking of which, when they left the free mercenary group, Rhodes and Luo Xiu did not go through the process of resigning from the group, and the team badges were still worn by them, so when accepting tasks, they can directly use the name of the free mercenary group.

Take a look at the task board.

Luo Xiu found that the s-level task he had seen on the task board to kill the ninth-order dark dragon near Biqiong Lake was still there, and no one had completed it.

Thinking about it, the ninth-order dark dragon is already equivalent to the apex of the holy-order monster!There is no special need, and no one will provoke it.

After finding a few tasks that could be done, Luo Xiu recorded them, and then handed the mercenary regiment badge on his body and the tasks to be accepted to the staff of the guild.

The staff skillfully recorded the tasks, and collected Luo Xiu's security deposit of two hundred copper coins according to the time limit. If Luo Xiu completed the corresponding tasks, the security deposit of the two hundred copper coins would be refunded; If it is completed, the security deposit will be gone.

The task system is like this. The nature of certain tasks determines that the task can only be completed by one party. If you accept the task, others cannot take it. Therefore, in order to prevent some people from accepting the task and not doing it, the Mercenary Guild Then the task limited time and guarantee payment system were formulated. Of course, the limited time can be extended, but the guarantee payment for extended time should also increase accordingly, and for some special tasks, the guarantee payment for accepting tasks is surprisingly high!This is done to weed out troublemakers who are just pretending to be numbers.

In addition to the tasks that need to collect guarantee money, there are also many tasks that are calculated according to the amount, limited amount tasks and unlimited amount tasks. Such tasks do not require guarantee money.

Just like the task of obtaining monster eggs, there is no saying that this kind of task can be accepted or not. As long as you have monster eggs in your hand, you can come to the mercenary guild to hand in the task and get task rewards and mercenary points; unlimited means unlimited Collect, no matter how many come, the limited task is that when the task items reach the required amount, the task will automatically stop and no longer accept;

Generally speaking, in terms of quantity, most of the mercenary guild's missions require guarantee money; but in terms of traffic, it is still dominated by non-guaranteed missions!Because of the non-guarantee tasks, many of them are purchased all year round, and most of the purchased items are items that consume a lot of money, such as commonly used herbs, monster furs, magic materials, and alchemy materials.

The guarantee missions selected by Luo Xiu are all missions with a high probability of completion, so as to avoid waste.

When the staff checked the badge information, they found that the other party already had the badge of an A-level mercenary regiment, and immediately asked respectfully, "Sir, your mercenary badge can be upgraded, would you like me to help you?"

"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded, and at the same time called Rhodes over, and also processed the badge upgrade together.

In a short time, the badge upgrade will be completed.

"This is your badge, please keep it."

After receiving the badge, Luo Xiu couldn't help being surprised when he saw the badge level:

"Huh? I remember that it was a B-level four-star level a while ago, but I didn't expect it to be an A-level so soon!"

Rhodes also noticed his badge, and the level on it had become the logo of the A-level one-star mercenary group, so he fiddled with it in surprise.

"The leader of the Sith is really amazing! In just over a year, he has transformed the free mercenary group into an A-level mercenary group! That's great!" Rhode happily put on his badge, with a joyful expression on his face.

Luo Xiu also admires Sith's ability. It is really extraordinary to be able to develop a mercenary group with only a few people in the beginning to a powerful A-level team today!

"Okay, let's set off early as well, and strive to gain something today." Luo Xiu got on his horse and set off ahead.

Rhodes also quickly climbed up the leopard puppet, and quickly followed his brother into the forest.

Hongmeng Forest.

This is the oldest forest on the continent!Its area accounts for nearly one-third of the land in the mainland, where monsters and monsters are rampant, full of mystery and infinite vitality.

The Hongmeng Forest is rich and extraordinary, and the more you go inside, the more intense the vitality, so the more powerful the monster is, the closer it is to the core area. It is said that no one has really entered its core area for thousands of years, and the legends are only guesses. There are mythical beasts in the core area!But no one has confirmed it.

Luo Xiu and his younger brother Rhodes are only active in the outer forest this time, and they are not worried about encountering powerful monsters. Although there are many monsters in the outer area, their strength is generally not high. ability, and don't worry that you won't be able to cope.

The forest is deep.

When the sun shines, the water on the leaves evaporates, increasing the humidity in the forest.Insects fly and butterflies dance, birds sing, and from time to time, animals that come out to look for food can be seen shuttling between the vegetation.

Luo Xiu and his younger brother followed the traces on the ground, looking for traces of monsters that might exist in this area.

The terrain of the forest is complicated, but this will not have much impact on Nai Tang of the fourth-level monster. The leopard and tiger puppets are also suitable for various complex environments, so the two brothers can ride their mounts all the way, but they can travel leisurely .

At present, the two brothers are located in the activity area of ​​the sixth and seventh-level monsters. The combat power of such powerful monsters is just equivalent to that of Rhodes, which just allows Rhodes to exercise his actual combat ability.

Record the itinerary, leave marks at intervals, and reconfirm the course of action against the markers on the map.

This is a necessary homework for doing tasks in the forest!Otherwise, if you get lost, it will be really troublesome.

Not to mention the danger of straying into the territory of high-level monsters at any time, just finding the way out is very difficult; you must know that even the area outside the Hongmeng Forest is enough to hold the entire territory of the Holy Dragon Empire!
