Chapter 10 The Blade's Edge
The next morning, Xiuen's team embarked on an adventure.
The deadline for the task is June 1st. The day when several people took over the task was May 26th. They slept all night and set off on May 27th. In other words, there were only five days left.
Under the leadership of Xiuen, the four of them came to the south of the sky city. On the edge of the town, there was a six-meter square frame, as if a square tennis goal was standing there. Next to the frame, there were four guards guarding them, and many adventurers dressed in and out of this frame.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this flat-mounted frame is a bit abrupt, but in Zhao Qiankun's eyes, the inner side of the frame is the only place without a barrier on the border of the town!
"This is called the Wallless Gate!" Xiu En introduced to the only pure novice Zhao Qiankun: "The wall of Tianqiong City is an invisible magic barrier, which looks like there is no wall. The door frame opens the barrier and is always open during the day to facilitate adventurers to enter and exit. It will only be closed at night or when encountering danger to prevent monsters from invading..."
Zhao Qiankun nodded: "It's quite a good design, how many such doors are there?"
"Three!" The blonde Xiao An smiled: "There are both in the east, north and south, and the west is gone by the sea. When passing the boat, the lighthouse will be opened directly."
Xiao Ye also jumped over and added: "These three small doors can also be applied for expansion! For example, last time, the Blade Mercenary Group went out to do a task, and the deputy leader Durby rode the triceratops and dragged back a big hive like that..." As she said that, she also drew circles with her hands: "If you can't pass the door without a wall, you're applying for a separate door!"
"Hey, Blade is a famous big group. Half of the group are senior adventurers above the Brutal Bear level. When will I become such a master..." When did I mention big group, Xiu'en's eyes showed a look of yearning...
"If you want to upgrade, just work hard!" Zhao Qiankun patted his shoulder and urged him to set off. Several people packed their luggage, walked through the wallless door, and walked towards the jungle in the south...
Just a few hours after they left, a broken team came back from the southwest. The leader was the one with broken armor, disheveled hair, riding a triceratops with broken horns and covered in blood. There were several unconscious adventurers lying on the dragon's back. One of them was a strong beard, with his armor shattered, his eyes closed, and his seven orifices bleeding. He was obviously the most serious injury... Behind the triceratops, there were several velociraptors, and seven or eight infantrymen who were abandoned and were embarrassed...
"That's... the Blade Mercenary Group!" The guards guards recognized them: "What's wrong?"
The triceratops struggled to penetrate the wallless door, and then slapped on the ground with a plop. The injury on his back also slid down. The awake leader also fell down. He staggered and held a guard's shoulder and said weakly: "Hurry up, go and ask someone to save him..."
The news that the Blade Mercenary Group suffered a severe blow soon spread throughout the Sky City...
As one of the largest adventure groups in Tianqiong City, the Blade Mercenary Group is well-known, with nearly 100 adventurers joining, and the lowest recruitment standard is also the leopard level!
However, such a powerful team was so miserable that some people even recognized that the bearded man lying on the back of the triceratops was the regiment commander Helion. The old regiment commander was almost not active in Qiongluo, but in the primitive continent, he was a famous mad dragon-level adventurer. What kind of monster did he encounter? For a time, speculations were everywhere in the city and there were many different opinions!
Soon, the Adventurers Guild sent reinforcements to help the Adventurers treat the wounded. After the deputy regiment commander Durby, after relocating the regiment commander, went to the Adventurers Guild immediately regardless of his injuries and asked to see the person in charge of the branch!
Speaking of Duby, he was originally the brother-in-law of the group leader Helion. His personal strength is good and he is at the third level. In addition, he has quite a leadership ability, so he became the deputy group leader under the care of his brother-in-law. He was also a well-known figure in the Primitive Continent!
But this guy has a problem, which is that he is good at gambling. When he was watching a fight in a cage, he pressed the wrong treasure and accompanied him to trouble the winner. Unexpectedly, his skills were not as good as others and people kicked him apart, becoming a laughing stock in the local mercenary circle, and giving up all the face to the Blade Mercenary Group!
The commander Herion was embarrassed and annoyed when he found out, but he was not easy to fire this brother-in-law and severely punished him. He could only send him to Qiongluo Island to open up new business, without seeing him.
But unexpectedly, this Dolby was still doing well in Qiongluo Island, making the branches of the mercenary group bigger and stronger, and developed into a group of nearly 100 people. The old leader Helion saw the business opportunities and came here to inspect it in person. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough fight with his brother-in-law for the first time. The dignified fifth-level master almost died!
Tianqiong City was also established by the Nangong family. It was in charge of the Adventurer Division of Tianqiong City, and naturally it was also from the Nangong family. Dolby, who was in a mess, waited for a moment in the reception room on the third floor of the branch, and then waited for a man of 34 or 35 years old with a gentle temperament. The man's name is Nangong Rui, the cousin of the Nine Dragon Sword Saint Nangong Yu, and the general manager of Tianqiong City.
"Mr. Rui!" As soon as he saw Nangong Rui, Dubi stood up. Nangong Rui stepped forward and supported him, poured him a glass of water: "Dubi, don't be excited, I heard about the matter, sit down and say slowly, what did you encounter?"
Dolby took a sip of water and said slowly: "Last week, we took the black mission on the bulletin board to attack the Death Scythe, and then set out three days ago..."
"I know this..." Nangong Rui nodded: "Because Mr. Helion is here, you are planning to challenge that monster. Could it be that the Scythe of Death defeated you?"
"We haven't reached yet..." Durby shook her head with her eyes closed, "When we walked to about thirty kilometers southeast, we saw some strange insects flashing with light. At first, we didn't care, but later there was a sudden fog in the forest, and the visibility was extremely low. It was difficult for the magicians we accompanied to disperse. In desperation, they could only stay in place temporarily. At this moment, the strange insects flashing with light appeared again! Some of us were curious and went to investigate, but we never came back once we went, and then, flashing figures began to appear around us..."
"Is it a parasitic monster?" Nangong Rui frowned and said, "Parasites on other creatures, relying on glow to attract hunting?"
