This time, the Elder of the Shadow Tribe did not appear in the form of a muscular torso. Instead, it was the shadow of the Grim Reaper holding the Life-Sealing Scythe in its arms. It immediately unleashed the Dark Soul Lock, sealing Gavin to the cliff in the form of a Dark Magic Formation!
Gavin had never seen anything like it. His shield and armor were completely useless against it. He slammed heavily into the cliff and almost sank into it. The Shadow Soul Lock intertwined with one another like the Black Spider's Bind, but it was more imperious and terrifying. It felt like the entire cliff was being locked down!
"Tsk tsk ~"
The Elder of the Shadow Tribe chuckled eerily, as if it was about to enjoy something.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Elder of the Shadow Soul Lock swung the scythe around at an incredible speed. The others could only see the flickering of the scythe!
The Elder of the Shadow Tribe was absolutely domineering. Gavin's chest was sliced open by the continuous slashes. His armor had no chance of stopping the attack.
Blood dripped down from the cliff. It was a ghastly sight.
The scythe was still swinging in the air. Gavin's bones were exposed. His cries of agony reached deep into everyone's ears and hearts.
The process was fairly quick, but it felt like it took forever for Gavin, who was being sliced open. The Mailong Private Military Group was utterly dumbfounded.
Was that really their Regiment Chief Gavin, who could not fight back at all?
A skeleton with a perfectly preserved head hung in the air. The pain and despair of the man's death were vividly displayed on the twisted face. He was not showing any signs of life, yet he still had a terrifying look on his face. The man was none other than their Regiment Chief Gavin!
Not far away, Kuma was dumbfounded.
While he was astonished by Gavin's fate, he was also quite relieved that he had survived the ordeal.
She did not provoke the young man's wrath. Otherwise, how was she going to stop the demon of the Shadow Tribe that Gavin could not even fight back against?
Kuma recalled how Mu Ningxue had warned them not to get themselves killed when they first joined the group. She finally realized that Mu Ningxue was not joking. Even Gavin would not be able to survive!
…
Mofan's cruelty was like a stab to the hearts of the old men of the Mailong Private Military Group. They could not even imagine Gavin's death, let alone do anything frivolous. They would not be able to get rid of the thought for a long time. Apart from Mu Ningxue, the men of the Mailong Private Military Group were acting like perfect gentlemen when they interacted with the women of the ninth team. They no longer dared to look at the women like before!
"Mofan, you're still the best." Jiang Shaoxu gave Mofan a thumbs up.
Seven out of ten of these old mercenaries were old hooligans. Every time Jiang Shaoxu slightly appeared in their line of sight, it was as if the eyes of those people had pierced through him, which was really uncomfortable.
This was much better. Those old mercenaries couldn't wait to reveal that they were gay to prove their innocence.
"Luckily, they are a bunch of old mercenaries. If they were a normal Hunter Group, they would have returned home after so many of their men died," Zhao Manyan said.
There was one good thing about being a mercenary. They still had to walk the same path no matter how many of their men died. Fear was easily defeated by money and power!
…
There were more demon creatures in the meadow, and there were all kinds of them. Apart from the demon creatures, they had to be extra careful of the plant creatures too!
Plant creatures were rare and difficult to defend against. They would not even leave a bone out of a human's mouth if they stumbled into a dangerous creature.
Luckily, the Mountain Frost Lotus had taught the Mailong Private Military Group a lesson. The group would subconsciously be on alert whenever they stumbled into a treasure along the way.
Their vigilance had saved many of the mercenaries' lives. Humans would die for wealth, just as birds would die for food. There were indeed lots of rare and valuable treasures along the way, but in an ecosystem like Tianshan Mountain, every treasure was extremely dangerous, either because it had some kind of deadly rule or some kind of demon creature nearby. The people of the Mailong Private Military Group had only managed to survive by being extremely careful. However, the other Hunter Groups, mercenaries, and Mage groups were not as lucky …
There were too many corpses along the way. Most of them had died from unknown causes. It was difficult to tell how many groups had made it out of the meadow alive.
The scrolls that Lingling had bought played a huge role in the meadow. She knew which Earth Treasures could be taken, which ones could not be taken, which ones could be taken in which way, and which ones were related to more valuable things …
The people of the Mailong Private Military Group were terrified of the ninth team after what happened to Gavin. However, they immediately had a good impression of the ninth team after Ling Ling pointed them out. Their fear of the ninth team gradually turned into respect!
The mercenaries were given a reward for completing a mission, a death penalty, and a high reward for completing a mission. Apart from the three rewards that were given to them by their employers, the loot they obtained along the way would belong to them. Kuma would make sure the members did not object to the distribution of the loot.
The loot that the members of the Mailong Private Military Group had received had already exceeded the reward they had received in the beginning. Didn't they risk their lives for money? If they could complete the mission successfully, they would be able to eat for the rest of their lives!
"The more people we have, the stronger we are. Normally, we wouldn't dare to waste too much energy to claim the Land Spirits that are guarded by demon creatures," Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"Mm, so with their help, we should be in a good condition when we reach the Scar of Tianshan Mountain," Ai Jiangtu agreed.
"We can even claim a lot of good stuff. Tianshan Mountain is full of gold. Even a blade of grass by the roadside is worth more than the grass outside!" Jiang Yu was overjoyed.
"Yeah, the Condensing Leaf is an ingredient used to stop bleeding rapidly. Normally, it would take at least ten years for the leaves to grow and change over a hundred times to produce a high-quality herb. It's rare to find it in the deep mountains, but not only is it common here on Tianshan Mountain, you can even find a hundred-year-old Condensing Leaf. If it's safe for the merchants to come here, they can earn a fortune just by picking these rare herbs," said Guan Yu.
"It's just a small amount of money, it's just a small amount of money."
"Mofan, you said you killed a Mountain Frost Demon Beast. The Mountain Frost Lotus is very expensive. It might be vicious when it reproduces, but it's very useful as a medicine. Doesn't that mean the Mountain Frost Demon Beast is …" Zhao Manyan asked when he suddenly remembered something.
"I took the Queen of Sprout Demon Beasts," Mofan said.
