They were extremely cunning and vicious. It was the first time they had stumbled into a demon creature on Tianshan Mountain, yet it had left a deep impression on them.
"I thought with our strength, as long as we don't reach the layer of snow, these demon creatures won't be able to do anything to us. Who knew it would still be so dangerous," Zhao Manting said with a lingering fear.
The Bone-Eating Spiders were not considered high-level demon creatures, but they knew how to use nature to hunt. Even if they stumbled into a bunch of enemies that were a lot stronger than them, they still had a chance to feast on them.
No wonder so many Magicians with high cultivations had lost their lives here. It was only in the desert, yet the demon beasts were already so good at hunting their prey.
…
The members of the Mailong Private Military Group checked their casualties and collected their thoughts. They continued on their journey after the landslide was over.
The mercenary group had a strong mental fortitude. They were used to people dying during missions. They did not have the mood to mourn the dead. Instead, they began to reflect on themselves and re-evaluate Tianshan Mountain. If more than a dozen people died in the desert layer, there would not be many people left in the team before they reached the glacier layer.
"Walden, go to the tenth team and ask for some Wound Healing Water," Ai Jiangtu said to one of the newcomers.
"Oh, sure," Walden nodded.
Walden had a European face. He was only in his twenties.
He went to the tenth team. The tenth team was in charge of managing the supplies, such as food, water, medicine, equipment, and single-use magic equipment …
Walden saw three veterans huddled together as soon as he arrived at the tenth team. They were smoking while making a deal.
"I can only say that the kid was lucky. But I'm not convinced. I bet he won't survive the next disaster! "Li Yu, a veteran of the tenth team, said.
As he spoke, the veteran Li Yu handed the money he had lost to Xu Luoqing, the property manager.
Xu Luoqing received the money with a smile and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect the ninth team to be so strong. If it weren't for them, Walden and Shittu would have been eaten by the spiders."
Walden was right behind them. His face flushed red when he heard the words.
Normally, these veterans would make things difficult for him and order him around like an errand boy. Now that he could finally participate in a proper mission, they were actually gambling with his life. Could it be that the guy called Li Yu wanted him to die just to win some money?
"What do you mean by that? Is my life that worthless!?" Walden snapped furiously.
The veterans were surprised to see Walden standing right behind them.
However, these wily old foxes simply didn't take this matter seriously. Xu Luoqing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just playing around."
"Have some fun? I think you all want me to die! "Walden snarled.
"Walden, don't act like a kid."
"I'm like a kid to act like a kid? I found out that you were gambling with my life, and you told me that it was just for fun! "Walden scolded.
"What's the big deal? Which newcomer hasn't been gambled by us before? Rookies like you are only a burden to the team. What's the use of you apart from providing us with entertainment? Stop yelling and go back to your team, "Li Yu said disdainfully. He did not treat Walden seriously.
Walden trembled in anger when he heard the words.
Xu Luoqing tried to persuade him, "Walden, why are you here?"
"I need ice water to clean my wounds," Walden said heavily.
"Here, take it," Xu Luoqing said.
"I'll tell the Vice Leader that you have to apologize to me," Walden said angrily.
"Go ahead, people like you who cry and complain to your mother after being bullied in school should just stay at home and let your mother pamper you. There's no need for you to join a mercenary group … by the way, Xu Luoqing, how much did I bet? I'm going to increase it. Three times, if he can survive the next time, I'll give you three times the amount. Does anyone want to take the bet? "Li Yu yelled.
"Yes, yes, we'll take it!"
"Three times, Li Yu, you're going too far. Sure, I'll take it!"
"Walden, you have to do your best for us."
"Can I bet that he'll die?"
"You're crossing the line, look at how angry Baby Walden is!"
The veterans enjoyed watching a good show. Walden was humiliated by the old mercenaries. He had no choice but to leave angrily with the water.
There were a lot of old gamblers in the mercenary group. The death did not affect their entertainment. As Walden was leaving angrily, he heard someone talking about the bet again.
"By the way, the bet that we'll give whoever can f * ck that silver-haired beauty five times the amount, does it still count?"
"Of course, it's a lot more interesting than betting Walden's life," Li Yu said.
"As you can see, that Lightning Magician is very strong."
"Yeah, I saw it too. I think we should increase the bet. Seven times the amount, do you have the guts to take the bet?"
"Seven times it is then!"
"HAHAHA, not only am I going to f * ck her, I'm going to make a fortune too!" a voice said.
…
Walden was trembling in anger. These old mercenaries had no morals at all!
Walden took the water back and glanced at Mofan. He was hesitating if he should tell him what had happened.
Walden shook his head after some thought.
It was better to forget about it. There was nothing he could do about it.
They were betting on whether they could survive the next round. There was nothing he could do about it!
"The water is here," Walden said.
Ai Jiangtu took the water. He glanced at Walden's expression and asked, "Did something happen?"
"No, nothing," Walden shook his head.
Warren stepped aside. Mo Fan walked up to him at the same time.
Everyone could tell that Mofan was the silver-haired beauty's boyfriend. Walden was stunned when he first saw the woman. Many people in the mercenary group were drooling over her.
"What's wrong with that sick man?" Mofan asked.
"Are you talking about Parker?" Walden said.
"Mm, he seems to be in a lot of pain," Mofan said.
"We thought he was suffering from altitude sickness, so we decided to bring him along. He might be able to get used to it on the journey, but he still hasn't recovered after so long," Walden said.
"You don't have any doctors, where's your team?"
