According to the information from the mental connection, we arrived at a small valley about ten kilometers away from Kaibei City. Lin Xue and Sandora were already waiting for us there.
Since it wasn't far away, the two sisters sent us directly to our destination using their teleportation system. This level of teleportation was as easy as eating a meal for them.
However, it wasn't so easy for us because we almost threw up the dinner we had a few days ago.
Compared to us, the Protoss, Jingle wasn't affected at all. She flew around in the air curiously and immediately attracted Lin Xue's attention.
After I could barely focus my eyes, the first thing I saw was Sandora's signature carefree smile. She almost stuck her face to my face and giggled, "Chen Jun, it seems that you need to strengthen your body again!"
Behind Sandora, Lin Xue smiled brightly when she saw me swaying. Luckily, she was more attracted to Jingle, so I didn't embarrass myself in front of her for too long …
"I never thought that the so-called teleportation would be so uncomfortable …"
The elder sister held onto a tree and complained with a pale face.
Asida and Asidora looked embarrassed. They apologized anxiously, "Sorry, we forgot about the characteristics of carbon-based life …"
"It's okay. Pandora has shown me even more terrifying forms of transportation. I'm already used to it …"
I recalled the feeling of fluttering in the wind on the little loli's shoulder. Then, my stomach churned again.
"Speaking of which, why aren't Pandora and Sicarro here yet?"
I looked around but didn't see them. I couldn't help but feel strange. Although their teleportation ability couldn't be compared to Emperor Schilling's Sandora and the Gemini sisters, any Shiring Apostles should be able to teleport at will. Why aren't they here yet?
Sandora's expression suddenly became strange. She said awkwardly, "How should I put it … Sicarro went to the city to buy something. Pandora has already arrived, but she ran into some trouble …"
"Ran into trouble?"
I was shocked. I knew how powerful Pandora was. Pandora was a strategic military fortress when she was free of all restrictions. How could she run into trouble? Did she go to the entrance of the abyss and fight the monsters alone?
Shallow Shallow and her elder sister immediately became nervous. Although they knew that Pandora was General Schilling, in their minds, Pandora was still a blind and lovable little girl. Now that they heard that she was in trouble, they immediately panicked.
"It's not what you think," Sandora saw our expressions and immediately explained. "It's not what you think. That the little girl ran into trouble … Forget it. You should come with me. She's nearby."
We followed behind Sandora and went deep into the valley.
It turned out that this valley was the base of a mercenary group!
In this world, being a mercenary was a very common profession. Due to the monsters running amok on the continent and the constant flames of war, people's daily activities were greatly limited. Some people who had money but didn't have much fighting power would assign missions to mercenary organizations, letting mercenaries who had strength but were in urgent need of money to do things for them. These missions might be to escort people or items to a certain place, or it might be to find dangerous treasures, or it might be to let these mercenaries who sold their lives for money become their hired thugs.
The Fire Blade Mercenary Group was the name of the mercenary group that was stationed in this valley.
Of course, they weren't stationed in this desolate place from the beginning.
Even though the mercenaries lived a life of bloodshed, they were still ordinary people after all. They weren't experts who would roam the world with their swords and never return home. Under normal circumstances, they would be stationed in a bustling city, which would make it easier for them to accept missions.
However, the Fire Blade Mercenary Group was a bit special. Or it could be said that they were unlucky.
In the past, although they weren't considered a large organization, they could be considered a well-known mid-sized mercenary group in the area. However, about ten years ago, the Fire Blade Mercenary Group was unfortunate enough to encounter a group of demonic creatures that suddenly attacked the city. In the fierce battle, the former leader of the mercenary group was unfortunately sacrificed, and some of the experts in the group also died in the encirclement of the demonic creatures. This caused the strength of the mercenary group to suffer a severe blow. The person who took over the position of leader was the former vice leader, Laker. Although this courageous Grade 5 warrior had decent individual strength among the mercenaries, it was a pity that he lacked the necessary abilities to be a leader. Although he was trusted by everyone, he was unable to save the group from its gradual decline. Even so, the Fire Blade Mercenary Group didn't have a member who had the strength to become the leader.
As long as there were humans, there would definitely be conflict. This was even more so in the mercenary circle. The Fire Blade Mercenary Group's decline immediately gave their opponents an opportunity. Several mercenary groups that had always been competing with them joined forces to hit them when they were down. This made the already declining Fire Blade Mercenary Group even worse.
Now, this small mercenary group was on the verge of disbanding. The experts in the group left one after another. As their strength declined, the number of missions they could receive also decreased. Recently, they couldn't even afford to rent their own base in the city. As a result, they could only move to this small valley that was far away from the city.
Facing this predicament, the current leader of the Fire Blade Mercenary Group, Lake, made a rather risky decision. He gathered all of the group's combat strength and headed south of Kebe City to capture the green lizards!
The green lizards were small magical beasts that lived in the swamps all year round. They were emerald green and less than half a meter long. They had the rare property of not being corroded by the power of the abyss. People believed that this was because they had received the blessing of the Goddess of Life. Of course, I now knew that this was because when Jingle came to this world, she accidentally fell on a swamp lizard. At that time, because Jingle had fallen into a coma, her life force had been released randomly. As a result, all the lizards in the swamp had been affected and mutated into this new life form that could resist the influence of the abyss.
The green lizards could produce a transparent secretion from the glands in their abdomen. This secretion had an extremely high affinity with the water element, but its more important use was — — to cure the erosion of the abyss!
This viscous liquid known as holy oil had the miraculous ability to dissipate the power of the abyss. Just a little bit was enough to make a crazy person regain consciousness. If it was sprinkled on the ground, it could even make the rotten ground grow plants again. Of course, the prerequisite was that there were enough green lizards in this world to cover the entire continent with their secretion …
The green lizards didn't have much combat power, but there were a lot of Swamp Dwellers in the Poison Fog Swamp. They were magical creatures that were difficult to deal with, and their numbers were great. Even large adventurer groups weren't willing to fight against them. Therefore, capturing an green lizard was a relatively difficult task. Even though the green lizards and Swamp Dwellers were mutually restraining each other, the latter seemed to have become the protector of the green lizards. Most adventurers would die to the saliva of the Swamp Dwellers around the green lizards. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, it would be difficult for them to leave the dangerous Poison Fog Swamp alive.
However, compared to other missions that were equally dangerous and impossible to cheat, capturing an green lizard in the Poison Fog Swamp was slightly more feasible. As long as one was lucky enough, it wasn't impossible to find an green lizard without alerting the Swamp Dwellers. There was such an example in the mercenary world. A small adventurer group with only ten members accidentally entered the Poison Fog Swamp and was lucky enough to capture an adult green lizard. After they returned, they immediately made a windfall. Moreover, the green lizard they brought back saved two generals who were unfortunately corrupted by the abyss. This unknown adventurer group almost became a heroic group overnight!
It was worth mentioning that this unreasonably lucky adventurer team only lived for less than three days before they were annihilated in an encounter with a monster. How regrettable …
For the sake of the mercenary group's future, Laker made this risky decision. He bet the fate of the entire mercenary group on this mission. If they were lucky, they would ascend to the heavens in a single step. If they were unlucky, they would be doomed eternally.
As it turned out, they were unlucky.
This was because they directly charged into the encirclement of the Swamp Dwellers.
Although they resisted with all their might, the experts in the group had already left. Apart from Laker, the remaining mercenaries were only second-rate mercenaries with an average strength of grade 3. In just a few seconds, they lost all their combat power and hope under the attacks of the magical creatures.
At this moment, Pandora appeared.
A mysterious and indifferent little girl used unbelievable strength to destroy the magical creatures that surged towards them!
