Everyone was shocked by the appearance of the Hand of Paleness!
Ma Wen noticed that the leaders of the Wolf Spider Mercenary Corp did not look happy.
It seemed like they were not happy about the addition of a legendary figure.
"Are they worried that Saluha's treasure will be divided? Is that so? Since the Wolf Spider Mercenary Corp dared to hire an external master, they should be happy to have a legendary figure. "
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat.
This Hand of Paleness looked like an ordinary human, but he could vaguely feel the terrifying explosive power contained in his body.
This guy had definitely reached the realm of God's Dexterity, and his killing ability was top-notch.
After all, the Hand of Paleness was a true legendary class, which was much more powerful than legendary rogues or assassins.
In order to fight against the Ancient Red Dragon Earl, the Southern Wizard Alliance sent out the Shadow Thief Owl and another legendary assassin, who was also a Hand of Paleness!
Of course, the two were not the same person. In fact, because of the existence of the Pale War Flag, the Hand of Paleness was the most common legendary profession on the continent of Fernand.
The reason was simple. The Pale War Flag had a complete set of advanced methods for the Hand of Paleness. As long as you met the requirements of the organization and voluntarily joined the Pale War Flag, you would be able to get the advanced manual of the Hand of Paleness.
Compared to the Ruler of the Night, who was more comprehensive, the Hand of Paleness could be said to be a killing expert.
They used more aggressive long swords and were more adept at various killing techniques.
In short, this was a group of top assassins who were not to be trifled with.
…
The appearance of a legendary profession naturally added a lot of variables to this adventure.
However, the leader of the Wolf Spider Mercenary Corp pretended to be calm and briefly introduced this legendary figure to everyone.
The name was simple, Skye. But just like Ma Wen's [Kerry], who knew if it was real or not.
After the Hand of Paleness joined the team, they did not say much and just waited for the arrangement.
But Ma Wen felt that something was wrong.
The look in this guy's eyes was a bit strange.
Although he did not mean any harm, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"Well, since everyone is here, let's go."
Since the leader of the Wolf Spider Mercenary Corp had spoken, everyone naturally set off in excitement.
The group of people left the City of Ruins on their horses and went all the way to the east, arriving at the undulating mountains and forests.
At the south corner of the main road, everyone dismounted and followed the pathfinder into the mountain.
The mountains here were uneven in height, but most of them were desolate and often had monsters roaming about.
However, with such a large group of adventurers, there wouldn't be any blind monsters that would appear.
The group of people entered the mountain without a hitch. After a few twists and turns, they finally arrived at a low mountain stream before the moon was high up in the sky.
"The entrance to Saluja is here."
"If it wasn't for an accident, we wouldn't have discovered it. We control the switch of one of Saluha's doors. After our wizards open it, the Tarantula will go in first, and the rest of you will follow closely behind. What do you think? "
Since the leader of Tarantula had spoken, everyone naturally had no objections.
…
Under the moonlight, Vice Leader Lilia held onto an ancient scroll and stood before the mountain stream, beginning to chant in a low voice.
The stream in the mountain was beating against the rocks, and the moss on both sides was spreading under the moonlight. The witch was singing softly.
A moment later, the scroll in her hand suddenly projected the light of a door.
The mountain stream immediately stopped flowing, as if time had stopped.
"Quick! We only have three minutes! Those who go in must be careful of the enemy. "The witch urged.
At that moment, everyone rushed into the door.
Ma Wen was neither too fast nor too slow, fighting at the back.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Long time no see, Mr. Ma Wen."
"I'm sorry, my name is Chris." Ma Wen responded to the cloaked man without changing his expression.
Gewen, who was under the cloak, snorted coldly. "No matter how you disguise yourself, I can always see through it."
"So what? Speaking of which, is it really okay for a light party like you to walk so openly on the West Coast? "
Ma Wen joked. "This is the base camp of the dark party. By the way, how is your cousin?"
Gewen was silent.
Although Ma Wen had given Kanos to him, at that time, Kanos had already completed his transformation and possessed the [Blood Hunger and Thirst]. Helpless, Gewen could only escort him back to the light party headquarters and hand him over to the elders to deal with.
Naturally, the result was obvious. Whether it was the light party or the dark party, the fate of traitors was very tragic.
…
"You have to be careful." Ma Wen suddenly said.
Gewen was slightly taken aback.
"Are you looking for the holder of the Divine Blood?" While the crowd was in an uproar, Ma Wen said in a low voice, "Grand Duke William is really relaxed. He actually let you come to the West Coast alone."
"I'm not alone …" Before Gewen could finish his words, he immediately realized that he had been tricked by Ma Wen.
However, what Ma Wen said was enough to shock him.
"How do you know so much?" Gewen was extremely shocked.
Ma Wen chuckled. He was just making things up, but Gewen was so easily tricked by him.
As expected, this guy was also here for the Divine Blood.
The competition between the Light Party and the Dark Party of the Blood Race was really fierce.
However, after Ma Wen finished shaking the baggage, he ignored him and went straight into the door.
Gewen frowned and followed closely behind.
One after another, most of the people had already entered the door. The sorceress looked at the remaining two people and showed a trace of helplessness.
Skye from the Hand of Paleness and the leader of the Tarantula.
"Mr. Skye, I hope that you will not have any negative impact on our expedition as you promised before."
"After all, we have always respected the Pale War Flag. We have also paid a lot of money every year. "
Raymo, the leader of the Tarantula Mercenary Group, said cautiously.
He knew how terrifying the Hand of Paleness was. It was an undeserved disaster for them to come to him this time!
How could he not be upset when a few more variables were added to the originally perfect plan for this expedition?
The Hand of Paleness sneered, "Are you worried that I am greedy for your spoils of war? That's ridiculous. I am only here to kill. I have no interest in anything in Saruhari. "
"If you don't hinder me, maybe I will help you."
After saying that, he snorted and strode in.
The leader of the Tarantula and the sorceress looked at each other, and the latter comforted him softly, "It's okay. Although the people of the Pale War Flag are overbearing, they are still reasonable."
Raymo smiled bitterly, "I hope … so."
After saying that, the two kept the scroll and walked in together.
A few minutes later, a blood-colored bat suddenly swooped down from the sky!
She flew back and forth over the mountain stream for a while and finally landed on a rock, slowly transforming into a human form!
It was a naked woman. She waved her hand and a light red chiffon appeared on her body.
However, a strand of barrier could not block others' sight, but she did not seem to care.
"We are a step late. Huh? Why is there the scent of our own people? "
"Forget it, let's just wait here. I don't believe that they can stay in the ruins for too long."
"I hope they don't die in the ruins."
Stanford yawned, "Otherwise, it will be too boring."
…
In the ruins, it was pitch-black.
The people of the Tarantula had explored this place before, so they were quite experienced in the first part of the road.
No lighting!
No lighting equipment.
This was the requirement of the Tarantula for all external experts.
They could only touch the stone wall with their hands and walk forward.
Because in this place, once a light source appeared, it would cause a small landslide.
There must be a light-sensitive mechanism nearby. Unfortunately, it was too clever, and even the most powerful thief of the Tarantula could not eliminate it. As for the new Hand of Paleness, Skye, although he was a legendary thief, he specialized in killing, not eliminating traps and mechanisms.
If he was an authentic Trap Master, there was hope to solve this problem.
"Everyone, try to be as quiet as possible. Those with low-light vision have priority. It will be much better once we are out of this place. "
Raymo's voice sounded in the darkness. Because of the previous instructions, everyone was still calm. They touched the smooth stone wall one after another and walked forward.
But all this was purely superfluous to Ma Wen.
The vision of the nightwalker allowed him to see clearly.
This was a tunnel that was not considered long, and there would be a huge turn at the end of the tunnel. There, he saw a smear of black shadows.
Combined with the route in his memory, Ma Wen immediately came to a conclusion.
"So the people of the Tarantula found the back door!
"I was wondering why this road is not very familiar.
"Oh no, if we go through the back door, then the first monsters we will face will probably be those things!"
Ma Wen's face darkened slightly. If the people of the Tarantula were not prepared and directly encountered those monsters, they would probably suffer a great loss!
But Ma Wen had to hide his strength.
The Hand of Paleness in the team made him very uneasy. Even though he obviously had dark vision, he still kept his eyes wide open and acted.
Because he could feel that there was a pair of eyes that kept scanning him and Gwen behind him.
The other party might have low-light vision or infrared vision.
He had to keep a low profile and show the enemy that he was weak.
…
The group walked forward for a while, and seeing that they were about to reach the turn, the [Pathfinder] who was walking at the front seemed to have touched the mark he had carved before and said to Raymo.
"It's almost here. After crossing this line, you can light the torch. "
Raymo nodded and urged everyone to move forward.
Not long after, everyone crossed the line.
Flames began to flash in the dark cave, and there were also all kinds of strange lighting equipment.
On the West Coast, alchemy items were smuggled, and the works of wizards could be freely auctioned here, so many wealthy adventurers had a lot of good things in their hands.
"Everyone, the last time we explored the way, it's almost here."
Raymo held a two-handed sword and showed a solemn expression, "We may encounter a lot of monsters next, everyone must be vigilant!"
Everyone nodded and took out their weapons.
The people of the Tarantula spontaneously formed a formation, and the external masters were more accustomed to fighting alone, wandering around the periphery of the formation.
They walked in front, after all, adventurers were greedy.
Only Ma Wen and Gervin had been hanging at the end of the formation.
"Why are you so far behind?" Ma Wen asked the cloaked man.
The latter's answer made Ma Wen speechless, "Because you are at the back."
"Following you, my luck shouldn't be too bad."
While the two were talking, the people at the front had already reached the corner.
Ma Wen's eyes narrowed slightly.
In an instant, a strange sizzling sound erupted in the tunnel, and a few greasy tongues stretched out from the dark stone walls, violently sweeping away the few explorers at the front!
Under everyone's horrified gaze, the stone walls on both sides slowly cracked, turning into big bloody mouths!
"Oh my God!"
"What is this!"
"Save me!"
For a moment, shouts shook the sky.
"Cut off these tongues!" Raymo made a prompt decision and commanded loudly.
His movement skills were not bad, and he took the lead, cutting off a thick tongue with his sword, saving one of the explorers.
However, the others were not so lucky. They were all sucked into the bloody mouth and chewed into pieces of meat in front of everyone!
Blood splattered everywhere, and bone fragments splattered all over the ground!
Even Ma Wen could not help but feel his scalp go numb when he saw this scene!
He had only heard that there was a group of tongue demons ambushing at Saruha's back door, but he had not seen their power with his own eyes!
"This is an evil spirit!"
Sorceress Lilia exclaimed, "Why would an evil spirit appear in Saruha?"
In the midst of the chaos, everyone kept retreating. At this moment, a shout of "Stop!" suddenly startled everyone.
Marvin, who was standing at the back, roared.
"What are you doing?"
"Hiding at the back alone, and now shouting to stop, are you trying to be a hero?"
The rest of the people were immediately very dissatisfied with Ma Wen's performance.
Ma Wen pointed to the yellow line at the side and said calmly, "If we retreat any further, the mountain will collapse."
Everyone's expression changed!
They were still holding torches in their hands!
Just as Ma Wen said, if they retreated past the yellow line, they would trigger the mechanism in the tunnel. At that time, what they would face would not be as simple as the tongue demons. A large-scale landslide would be enough to bury so many people!
For a moment, everyone looked at Ma Wen with a much more complicated gaze.
Was this guy really smart for a moment, or had he always been incomparably calm?
It was very rare for him to be able to notice this in such a chaotic process.
Everyone tried to retreat as much as possible. But the tongue demons would not let them go.
Those thick tongues, wrapped in light yellow mucus, penetrated the stone wall with a crackling sound and charged toward the crowd!
"What should we do!"
"Captain?"
Everyone cried out in alarm. They did not expect the tongue demons to be able to move.
"We can't use area magic here. The tunnel is too fragile. The gathering and release of arcane energy may cause it to collapse!"
Sorceress Lilia's expression was also very ugly.
Raymo stood at the forefront, looking at the menacing tongue demons, gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them!"
However, at this moment, a lazy voice sounded:
"Forget it, since I asked for your help, I'll help you this once."
The Hand of Paleness.
He was originally very lazy in the middle of the team, with no intention to make a move.
But to his disappointment, before they reached the open area, Tarantula and his team were forced to this point!
But then again, the tongue demons were indeed one of the most difficult to deal with among the evil spirits, second only to the Brain Eater!
Skye's figure suddenly disappeared on the spot!
"Kill!"
A simple word, kill.
A ray of Aurora's Glimpse began to move in the tunnel.
Many people could not even see the sword in his hand clearly.
Ma Wen could barely keep up with the opponent's rhythm, but the killing efficiency of the Hand of Paleness made Ma Wen feel a little ashamed!
He thought it would not be difficult to deal with the tongue demons. After all, he had a peerless sword and No. 4 Holy Water.
But he could not be as calm as Skye.
He simply shuttled back and forth, constantly jumping in the shadow plane, and every time he jumped, he forcibly passed through the body of a tongue demon!
The sword in his hand was slightly long, but it was very light. His figure flashed, and the tongue fell to the ground.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In just a few dozen breaths, more than 20 tongue demons hidden behind the stone wall were killed by him alone!
This was the strength of a legend.
Ma Wen took a deep breath. He could do it too, but his speed was definitely not as fast as the opponent.
Although they both had the God's Agility, the Hand of Paleness must have other abilities or skills to increase speed. Ma Wen estimated that he would not last more than ten moves with the opponent!
Even if he transformed into the Azura Grizzly Bear, the opponent could still easily kill him!
The Hand of Paleness had the strongest killing ability among the assassins. They could even easily tear the armor of the Primordial Red Dragon, not to mention an astral creature.
"If I can't beat them, what about escaping?"
Ma Wen secretly compared in his mind.
The conclusion made him feel gratified. The many skills of the Nightwalker could still help him escape.
The Hand of Paleness pursued the ultimate killing ability and abandoned a lot of tracking methods. If he could not beat them, he should be able to escape.
Thinking of this, he was a little relieved.
…
"Let's go."
In the empty tunnel, the tongues on the ground were still wriggling.
Skye, however, turned a blind eye. He even stepped on a throbbing tongue and said impatiently, "Raymo, are we even now?"
Raymo hurriedly nodded.
But there was a trace of haze in his heart.
He did not expect Saluha to be so terrifying. The Tarantula and the others had just entered, and they already encountered such difficulties!
So what would they encounter if they continued to explore?
This lord of the Hand of Paleness would not really help them all the way.
Thinking of this, he had a headache. He immediately waved his hand, "Let's move forward!"
…
The pathfinders looked at each other, but they did not dare to take the lead anymore.
The same was true for the external adventurers.
The sudden Tongue Demon just now scared them a lot. At least three people were swallowed alive by the Tongue Demon. They did not want to repeat the same mistake.
Raymo frowned slightly. No one dared to go!
He immediately made up his mind:
"Who will explore the way?"
"Explorers can have the first right to choose the spoils of war. At the same time, the things you find will belong to you directly! "
With such a generous reward, several bandits in the Tarantula team were tempted.
But the flesh and blood of their companions were right beside them. They hesitated and were all hesitating.
Raymo was so angry that he almost wanted to curse.
The Tarantula Mercenary Group was also considered famous in the ruined city. They had taken countless risks, but they had never encountered such a situation!
They had suffered heavy losses as soon as they entered. Everyone seemed to have a shadow in their hearts!
After all, creatures like the Tongue Demon were very strange to everyone!
It was normal that no one dared to explore the way.
But at this moment, a light voice sounded at the end of the team:
"Let me do it."
Under the slightly surprised gaze of everyone, Ma Wen walked through the road and directly arrived at the front of the team.
He looked straight at Raymo: "The things I find will belong to me directly?"
Seeing a life-saving straw, how could Raymo not agree? He immediately nodded desperately.
Ma Wen laughed in his heart. After passing through the Tongue Demon, it seemed that behind them was a small treasure trove.
He was lucky this time.
Who knew that at this moment, another voice also sounded:
"I'll go with Mr. Kerry."
The cloaked man Gewen also followed closely.
Ma Wen's face suddenly darkened.
This kid was also very cunning!
"After all, it is not safe to go alone. Two people can take care of each other."
Gewen said calmly: "To avoid what happened just now happening again, the two of us can keep a certain distance from the main team."
Raymo almost applauded Gewen in his heart!
Where could he find such a pathfinder?
He immediately promised: "When we go back, the two of you will be paid double!"
Ma Wen did not say much. He immediately passed through the Tongue Demon area and walked into the depths of the tunnel.
Naturally, the vampire Gewen was in hot pursuit.
Among the crowd, the Hand of Paleness Skye stared at Gewen's back for a long time before revealing a sneer.
