In any case, the three powerful rock monsters were finally taken care of, and the process was somewhat smooth.
In fact, after knowing the weaknesses of these monsters, one would find that they were not as powerful as they looked at first glance. The power of the rock monsters came entirely from the earth. With brute force, even Lily, under the guidance of science, could kill these slow-moving big guys. Of course, this was only applicable to the monster-level guys around Hao Ren. For ordinary people, these rock monsters were probably invincible.
Looking at the shattered remains of the rock giant, Lily jumped up and down happily, her tail swinging in circles in the air. "Yay! Now you know how powerful I am!"
Hao Ren craned his neck and shouted, "Don't be so cocky. Come and help me pull me out."
Only then did Lily realize that half of Hao Ren's body was still embedded in the ground. She quickly ran over and waved her Frostfire Claws, happily wagging her tail as she dug. "Thank you, Mr. Landlord. I almost died just now. I didn't expect these big guys to be so smart."
Just now, the rock monster tried to kill Lily, who was lying on its back, by ramming into the stone wall. Lily was too careless to react. If it were not for Hao Ren, who rushed over and tripped the rock monster, Lily would have been crushed in the head. Of course, Hao Ren also paid a big price. Although his Steel Membrane Shield and brute force prevented him from being trampled to death, he was trampled more than half a meter deep into the ground.
"That was a close call." Hao Ren was still a little scared after being pulled out by Lily. He rubbed his arm that was almost broken. "I think I must have broken a bone, but it seems to have healed now."
The sound of chainmail scraping came from the side. Hao Ren looked towards the source of the sound and saw the mercenary leader. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, probably a warrior. His chainmail was bloodstained, and a trail of blood extended from his forehead to his neck. He was limping, and looked seriously injured. But his face was full of excitement and joy. "I can't repay your kindness. I thought I was going to die today. I didn't expect someone to come to save me. If there's anything I can do for you, just tell me. As long as it's within my power …"
Hao Ren waved his hand. "Don't mind me. It's on the way anyway. How are you guys doing? "
The mercenary leader looked back at his wounded subordinates. His face twitched. "One of our brothers is dead, and a few are seriously injured. They'll probably have to go home and retire after they recover. The rest are fine."
The mercenaries nearby were also speechless. The atmosphere was depressing. What they encountered today could be said to be an unexpected disaster. What was supposed to be a hopeful trip to the Beinz Blood Lake turned out to be a disaster. Before they even reached their destination, they were beaten up by the monsters on the way. Nearly half of the team had left the mercenary profession forever. Everything happened so suddenly that no one was prepared for it.
Becky looked on from the side. Being a mercenary was always accompanied by such risks. Many people were completely unprepared when they suddenly left. These people were lucky: at least most of them were still alive.
At this time, Nangong Wuyue came out of hiding with Hao Ren's Maiden Pot in her arms. Hao Ren took the pot and quickly asked the siren maiden to help treat the wounded. Although he did not know how good Nangong Wuyue's healing ability was, her strength was a treasure in this place where there was a shortage of medicine. Vivian looked at Becky. "Didn't you say that even if there were monsters on this mountain path, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with?"
Hao Ren then remembered what Becky had said about the ancient mountain path. There were no such troublesome monsters here. He looked at Becky curiously. The latter shook her head in confusion. "I don't know. I've never seen such things … There were monsters in the mountains before, but they were earth elementals or cliff scorpions that were easy to deal with. Say, do you know where these guys came from? "
Becky's last sentence was directed at the mercenary leader. The leader shook his head. "I don't know. We were hurrying along the mountain path when we suddenly encountered these guys. Then they charged at us. I also remember that there shouldn't be such things in the mountains. I've been through this path many times. "
Even a veteran mercenary did not know when such dangerous monsters appeared in Dragonspine Ridge. Hao Ren felt that things were getting complicated. At this moment, Y 'zaks's loud voice suddenly rang. "Come and have a look!"
They quickly ran over and found Y 'zaks squatting beside the remains of the rock monster. The big demon pointed at the completely lifeless debris. "It's moss. Are there such things on the rocks in this area?"
"These don't look like rocks from this side of the mountain." Lily turned her head and looked around. The climate on this side of the mountain was very dry. The rocks nearby were bare and there was almost no green. The moss and vines on the remains of the rock monster seemed to indicate that these big guys came from another place.
"Did they cross over from the other side of the mountain?" Becky scraped some moss off with a small stone and rubbed it a few times in her hand. "It's quite fresh and moist. They probably didn't stay too long in the dry eastern foothills of the mountain." Then she saw the curious look on Lily's face and explained, "The climate on both sides of Dragonspine Ridge is very different. The eastern foothills of the mountain are very dry, but the other side is relatively warm because of the water vapor from the Beinz River and the Little Chaldan River. Plus, the strange power of the Beinz Blood Lake has slightly extended to the vicinity of the mountain, so the rocks there often have this kind of moss and ivy."
Hao Ren knew nothing about these guys in front of him, so he could only listen to what Becky said. He nodded in confusion. "That means these giants came from the west of Dragonspine Ridge, right? Does it have something to do with the Blood Lake? "
"Who knows." Becky shook her head and stood up. "But I hope it's not a bad omen … The disappearance of the Orb has already made people anxious, and now this is happening in Dragonspine Ridge …"
The mercenary girl furrowed her brows, looking worried. However, she was just a small character, and these were things that the important figures of the Church and the Royal Family should worry about. She couldn't do anything about it, so she could only worry.
On the other side, Nangong Wuyue had finished treating the injuries of a few seriously injured mercenaries. The miraculous healing mist around her was slowly dissipating. The mercenaries, who were barely breathing a moment ago, opened their eyes in surprise. They sat up and touched the parts of their bodies in disbelief. Most of their injuries had completely healed, including their broken limbs. Other than a bout of almost fainting weakness, these mercenaries had almost fully recovered!
A woman in a hunter's outfit could not help but exclaim, "How did they do it?!"
"Healing magic." Nangong Wuyue proudly put her hands on her hips. She did not help in the battle just now, but now she was shining. This made the siren feel that she was quite powerful.
At this time, Hao Ren, Lily and the rest had also finished examining the remains of the rock giants. After finding no more clues, they came before the group of mercenaries and overheard the conversation between the huntress and Nangong Wuyue. "Healing magic? Healing magic shouldn't be this effective … and I've never seen this kind of misty magic. Which school of sorcerer are you? "
"Err, it's the siren's special ability." Nangong Wuyue was a little embarrassed when she saw the other party's respectful tone. "Are there very few sirens on land in this world?"
Becky looked at Nangong Wuyue curiously. "What's a siren? A new school of sorcery? "
Hao Ren and the rest looked at each other. Vivian quickly gestured for Nangong Wuyue to stop talking. She looked at Becky and asked, "You don't know about sirens?"
"No, I don't." Becky did not seem to be lying. "I've heard that there's a school of sorcery that only recruits female sorcerers. They call themselves' Banshee's Hut '. Are you talking about sirens who specialize in water magic? It looks like they're good at healing. "
Hao Ren seemed to have realized something and smiled perfunctorily. "Oh yes, they specialize in water magic. However, this school is located on an isolated island in the sea. They don't usually interact with people. You've probably never heard of them in landlocked countries."
Becky nodded and didn't suspect anything.
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other. They knew what each other was thinking.
There were werewolves, vampires, and even elves. But no one knew what a siren was!
