Chapter 190 Mercenary

The recovery of spiritual consciousness is different from the true qi and sword energy. The difficulty in recovery is not inferior to the one-yuan power without the assistance of elixirs. In five days, eight or nine percent of spiritual consciousness only recovered by about 30%. To fully recover, it will take at least half a month.

On the fourth day of recovery, Qin Zhan's heart moved slightly. His spiritual sense, which had not yet been fully restored, was alert to discovering a team of mercenaries who were fumbled forward in his direction.

When he discovered this group of mercenaries through his spiritual sense, the Yu Emperor guarding the side also noticed it. The huge body, which was originally lazily lying on the ground, immediately woke up. His dark purple pupils looked at the direction of the source of the sound, exuding the unique evil intention of the monster. At the same time, his mind was conveying his meaning, asking whether Qin Zhan would let him go over and destroy the mercenary.

"Wait for a moment, this team of mercenaries may have just done a mission here by accident. Now that we are in the West, everything is better to be careful."

Although the Yu Emperor was a little dissatisfied with Qin Zhan's thought transmission, he still lay down again, but his fierce gaze never left the direction of the sound.

Qin Zhan had temporarily stopped restoring his spiritual consciousness at this moment, but released his spiritual consciousness and quickly locked onto a team of five mercenaries from five miles away.

This team of mercenaries is a good team in both the East and the West. The captain has the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining, the deputy captain and another middle-aged man are at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and the remaining two are at the sixth level of Qi Refining. This lineup will definitely be able to come and go safely in the edge area of ​​the Polar Mountains unless it encounters monsters over 500 years old or thousand-year-old monsters.

Several mercenaries were spinning in this area, as if looking for something. When they found Qin Zhan’s recovery place nearly three miles away, the deputy captain frowned and took out a map describing the area from his body: "According to the mission clues provided by the Mercenary Union of the City of Dusk, the high-level monster obviously appeared near this area, but we have been spinning in this area for almost a day, and we have not found any clues about that kind of high-level monster. Could it be that those who issued the mission made the mistake?"

The captain of the Eighth Qi Refining Level heard his complaint and shook his head, "The person who posted the mission also said that this may be a new variety of high-level monsters, and it may even be a baby beast from the polar mountains. We have never seen it before. Since we have never seen it, the ordinary experience of finding monsters may not work."

"Our mercenary group has received at least one hundred tasks to determine the area of ​​the monster's activity. We have also confirmed the place where three thousand-year-old monsters have sacrificed themselves. If this monster has indeed lived in this area and searched for a day, we wouldn't be able to find it, right?"

"Anyway, keep looking for it. When we came yesterday, we also asked some mercenaries who had finished their missions from the mountains. We did see a very handsome golden bird in this area. Obviously, that is the monster that needs to be determined in this mission!" Speaking of this, the captain chuckled and clapped his hands to recall everyone's attention: "Think about it, everyone, this is a monster that has never appeared in the Western Continent. If our third team is the first to discover or even catch it, this monster will definitely be named after our mercenary group! And from the description of this monster by those people, this is definitely not a simple ordinary monster. If it grows up in the future, and becomes famous on the mainland, and loads it into books, people will naturally think of us who were the first to discover this flying monster. At that time, our third team of the wind-chasing mercenary group will be famous in history."

After being instigated by the captain, a hint of expression flashed through the eyebrows of the other people who had searched for a day without any clues. The thoughts of several of them were guided by the captain. Naturally, they remembered the moment when they became famous in the mainland in the future, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of their mouths.

"Okay, gentlemen, cheer up. Daydreaming is not the style of our Wind-Chasing Mercenary Group. Let's act. Whether you can stay in the mainland is up to this time."

"Okay!" The eleven mercenaries shouted in high spirits, and immediately became serious about the search for the mysterious flying monster again.

Hearing this, Qin Zhan understood something and summed it up to himself: "Golden, a variety that has never appeared in the West, and it has appeared in the near future in the past few days... Isn't this just talking about the Feather Emperor..."

Although the Golden-winged Roc is a divine beast, it is impossible to let him protect the Dharma for himself in peace and quiet for five days. Moreover, even if it is willing to protect the Dharma for him, it must go out to hunt and replenish its physical strength. Therefore, in these five days, it has gone out at least four or five times.

Obviously, he still underestimated the weight of monsters in the minds of the West. He did not expect that those Westerners could only devote such high enthusiasm to a monster they had never seen before. Seeing the extremely handsome golden-winged roc, the powerful people were moved and had the idea of ​​getting the golden-winged roc.

If he was a legendary sword master from the West and brought such a new species of monster into the Western world, even if there were some trouble, it would not be too big. He could rely on legendary strength to solve it, but now... dare he bring the Feather Emperor into the Western world and wander around?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhan looked at the Yuhuang beside him helplessly and said, "Old guy, it seems that after entering the Western world, you have to retreat for a while. Look at the central area of ​​the polar mountains? You might as well use your strength to approach the legendary creatures in the fourth level of the God Transformation to occupy a piece of territory and collect some of them to play with?"

Regarding this proposal, the Yuhuang, who was naturally eager to fly freely, naturally agreed without thinking. His originally lazy attitude immediately changed and he stood up in high spirits. His dark purple pupils looked at him with bright eyes, as if he was guessing the authenticity of these words!

"Haha, it seems that five days have really made you feel bad. OK, of course I'm not lying to you. Go and do whatever you want. If there is an urgent matter, I will naturally call you. As long as you don't enter the mountains too deep, and at your speed and without the burden of my burden, it will definitely not take a few hours to rush to the city of dusk."

With Qin Zhan's approval, the Yuhuang immediately let out a pleasant chirp, then suddenly spread his wings and rose up from the ground, and asked whether he would help solve the mercenaries who were in trouble.

"No need, these mercenaries are just right. I know too little about everything in the West. If possible, it is better to learn some basic things from them. The mercenaries are running around all year round, and the information channels are relatively wide. If you understand clearly, you can avoid making two mistakes in a row like you are now."

Yuhuang screamed twice, as if he was a little embarrassed to cause these troubles. The Yan Shen expression was full of humanity.

"Okay, I didn't blame you. Those mercenaries have come here, go quickly."

The Feather Emperor screamed lightly, suddenly a violent airflow started, roaring into the air, like a golden arrow directly inserted into the clouds, accompanied by the screams of several nearby mercenaries from far to near, turning into a golden stream of light and disappearing at the end of the sky.

Although Qin Zhan felt a little uncomfortable with the temporary departure of the golden-winged roc, he had to do so in order to better conceal his identity from the East.

A moment later, a slight sound came from the woods next to him. Soon, the mercenary with the highest cultivation level of Qi Refining suddenly shot out from the woods and fell into a clearing area not far from Qin Zhan in the blink of an eye. Then, the remaining mercenaries rushed over without distinction, looking at the golden-winged roc bird that had disappeared from the clouds with a look of surprise.

"What a fast speed... This speed is no less than the thousand-year-old monster-level griffin we saw last time... No, I'm afraid it's a point faster than the griffin!"

"Is this also a flying monster that has been practicing for thousands of years?"

"Fortunately, we did not use excessive methods to force this monster out, otherwise it would annoy this thousand-year-old monster. Not to mention our team, even if we count the other members we are looking for in other areas, it would probably not be enough to kill this thousand-year-old monster."

"Is this really a thousand-year-old monster?"

"No, how could the thousand-year-old monster appear in the edge area?"

Flashes of discussion came from the six people, and Qin Zhan, who was only separated by a sparse tree wall, could naturally hear it clearly.

As soon as he moved, Qin Zhan had already crossed several trees that had no barrier on both sides, appeared in an open space not far from the six people, and spoke in a fluent Western language: "Well? What do you think of my partner? Could it be that they came here specifically?"

Seeing the young man who suddenly appeared, the mercenaries present were surprised at the same time, and a hint of alert immediately appeared between his eyebrows. Several of them even reached out to pull out their swords.

However, before they could draw out the sword, the captain of the eighth level of Qi Refining immediately shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing, put away the sword quickly, don't be rude to the master!"

"master!?"

The remaining mercenaries were not fools. When they thought about Qin Zhan’s words carefully, they immediately understood. Apart from the master of swordsmanship, how could ordinary practitioners do that except for the master of swordsmanship?

Thinking that he and his men were planning to draw their swords at a sword master, the five mercenaries were scared and sweated coldly. They quickly put away their swords, and they did not dare to have any disrespectful behavior that could cause misunderstandings in their behavior.

The master of kendo is a very identifiable figure even in the temple. It is a place where the order is completely unordered and the strong are respected. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the overlords who rule one side. It is precisely because of the leader of the group, they can gain a foothold in the extremely chaotic city of twilight, and their leader has also transformed into the second level of the gods!

This shows the noble status of a kendo master.

The captain of the eighth level of Qi Refining took a deep breath and bowed to Qin Zhan with a respectful expression: "Master, I am incompetent in discipline, which makes the team members offend. I hope there are many masters, so don't be as knowledgeable as them."

"Well, let's not mention that matter. Judging from your words and actions just now, you seem to have come here specifically for my partner. I think you will definitely not hide such a small matter from me. Do you think so?"

The captain of the eighth level of Qi Refining heard the bad intentions in Qin Zhan's tone and quickly told the story truthfully.

In fact, it was similar to Qin Zhan’s prediction, but there were some deviations in the subtle points. When a young man from the Kate family passed by this area, he saw the golden-winged roc flying through the sky and was immediately attracted by the noble body and gorgeous appearance of the golden-winged roc. After returning, he sent his servants to find the golden-winged roc. However, his uncle learned about this incident that the uncle was a monster fan and was very interested in this monster he described before, so he issued a mission at the Mercenary Union to determine the location of the golden-winged roc, and then he personally captured the flying monster.

After hearing his words, Qin Zhan couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect that he was so low-key and unwilling to attract other people's attention, and he didn't want to be noticed by others.

"Master..." The mercenary on the eighth level of Qi Refining looked at Qin Zhan frowned, with an unconcealable nervousness in his tone: "Master, I don't know... can we leave first?"

"Yeah? Have I ever told you to leave?"

As soon as this sentence was finished, not only the mercenary in the eighth level of Qi Refining who was responsible for the dialogue, but even the other few people were shocked, with a look of panic! In the extremely chaotic city of dusk, it can be said that the most valuable thing is human life. If a kendo master wanted to kill them, they would have no place to cry.

"Master...you...what else do you have to give me..."

At this moment, they were extremely eager for the members of the other teams who saw the Golden-winged Roc take off to come soon. It would be best if the regiment commander came here in person. In this way, for the sake of the regiment commander being a master of kendo, they could at least save their lives.

Qin Zhan looked at their appearance and felt a little funny, saying, "Don't be so nervous. I entered the polar mountains three years ago, and now I just finished my training and returned. But the direction I came out now is obviously not the area I am familiar with, so now I want to ask you a way."

Although Qin Zhan said he was asking for directions, the few people present did not dare to relax at all and quickly replied: "Master, this area now belongs to the generation of the Dusk City, which is one of the twenty-four marginal cities in the West. It is under the jurisdiction of Laura, Silver Leaf families and the Liewolf Mercenary Group! You only need to walk more than a hundred miles in this direction to see the residential area outside the Dusk City!"

"Twenty-four edge cities?" A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Zhan's mouth: "Is that so? I have lived in the West for so long, but I have never been to any edge cities. Since I have entered the area of ​​edge cities, I naturally have to experience it well."

"I have never entered any edge city?" The mercenary on the eighth level of Qi Refining was slightly stunned, his face suddenly looked a little ugly: "Master, are you from the Central Temple?"

"What? What's the problem?"

"This... Master, you should also understand the reasons why the twenty-four edge cities exist... In fact, because it is not consistent with the concept of the temple, I was judged as a pagan, and I had to escape to these harsh edge areas and build twenty-four edge cities. If you really come from the Central Temple and rashly enter the city of dusk... Maybe... you may be hostile to the kendo masters in the city. Although with the strength of the master, you will definitely not be afraid of anything... But at least this is troublesome, so..."

Qin Zhan didn't want to cause these unnecessary disputes because of such a completely hypocritical identity. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I can tell you clearly that I am not from the Central Temple, nor from the Temple."

"It's not the temple, is that master from the three empires?"

"Why, can I report to you where I come from?"

"No, no, no, I have absolutely no intention of asking you, Master!" Although he said that in his heart, he felt a little relieved.

Compared with the chaos and cruelty of the twenty-four major fringe cities, although the three empires are also undercurrents, they can be paradise when compared with each other. Moreover, the masters of kendo from the three empires have been influenced by the temple for many years and are generally more upright and kind. If you don’t say anything else, at least they will not kill for no reason.

"Okay, now you are responsible for leading the way. I hope to see the walls of the city of dusk before sunset."

"Yes, master." After knowing that the other party was not a kendo master on the edge, he could not be in danger of his life as long as he served the other party well, the mercenary captain of the eighth level of Qi Refining immediately became enthusiastic.

It can be seen from the influence of the kendo master who has almost the power of life and death in the city of dusk that if he could make good friends with a kendo master, how huge the influence would it have? Once he can win the favor of this kendo master and get his protection, even if the innate masters of the ninth level of Qi refining face him, he has to think carefully.

While walking, Qin Zhan asked him about the situation in the city of Twilight in a chatting tone. Because he had never been to the edge as a cover, the mercenary would not have any doubts at all.

During the chat, Qin Zhan also learned the name of the middle-aged mercenary Huo De, and at the same time he had a preliminary understanding of the City of Twilight.

Compared to Qin Zhan only learned some shallow things, Huo De became more and more excited as he talked. From the lines between Qin Zhan, he had already guessed that the person in front of him must be the successor of a large family in the three great empires. When he was young, he spent almost all his time in cultivation, so he knew very little about these human accidents.

After having this idea, his mind immediately became active.

Although the people on the edge are hostile to the temple, they yearn for the three empires very much. However, although the three empires cannot directly burn these pagans to death like the temple, they are very disgusted with these people born in those poor mountains and rivers. It has no certainty that they want to obtain the resident status of the three empires, it is just a luxury!

Since this young kendo master is from the three great empires, as long as he serves him and then contacts the family behind him through his line, maybe the life trajectory of all their entire mercenary group will change.

Thinking of this, Hod couldn't help but work harder.

One intentionally pleases and the other intentionally inquire. After chatting and walking, time soon passed and soon walked out of the forest.

After leaving the forest, the terrain gradually became flattering, and a road that obviously many people often took appeared in everyone's sight.

Not long after he got on the road, a team of mercenaries of about the same size as those of Hode and others came towards him. After seeing them, a cultivator in the eighth level of Qi Refining immediately waved his hand and greeted him: "Hi, Hode, that monster has flew away. You should have seen it. Have you noticed anything?"

"Carlo, since the monster has flew away, then don't waste our time." After saying that, he quickly bowed respectfully to Qin Zhan: "Master, Carlo is a rough man and doesn't know anything, don't be surprised."

Qin Zhan nodded. For him, a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, if he wants to kill him, it is just a matter of thought. Naturally, he will not care about anything because of his words.

When Carlo heard Hod's name to Qin Zhan, he immediately widened his eyes and looked at Qin Zhan secretly!

As an experienced mercenary, he naturally would not know what it means to be a master. He is a truly unattainable kendo master. Although Qin Zhan looked very young, so young that he felt incredible, he was in awe of the kendo master, but he did not have the courage to ask the real reason.

"Master, since you are planning to visit the Dusk City, why not let me be a tour guide and take you around? Our Wind Chasing Mercenary Group is quite important in Dusk City. If the Master has any high-end places to go, I believe those people will still give us the leader some face."

Qin Zhan said nonsense in his heart. If he hadn't asked you to lead the way, he wouldn't have followed you here.

Although I was thinking this in my heart, it was a bit suspicious. I still had to pretend to think about it and then agreed after a while.

Qin Zhan nodded, and Huo De was immediately overjoyed and quickly made a gesture of invitation and said, "There is a station in a small town not far away. There should be a carriage in the station. At that time, you can also save your troubles from rushing." As he spoke, he led Qin Zhan towards the direction of the city of dusk.

After walking less than half an hour, a small town with a size of only a few thousand people appeared in sight. Under Hod's leadership, a group of thirteen people soon arrived in front of a yard!

However, the yard is not as deserted as before, but is full of more than a dozen carriages. Each carriage has several innate and above and are dressed as guards. Several of them are more prominent, and they have the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Chapter completed!
