Chapter 631 The Luck of the Spearmen (First)

Remember for a second

In the sky, there was a thick layer of clouds, and the whole sky looked gloomy, which seemed to be a precursor to wind and rain.

The terrain of the Blue Wild Forest is relatively tortuous, and it is very familiar. Lucio and Chen Rui walked for nearly five hours before arriving at the place of poisonousness. This is a mountain forest with dark plants and rugged terrain. Along the way, you can see many bones buried in the soil and fallen leaves, mostly humans.

Lucio's footsteps slowed down, his face became more and more nervous, and he lowered his voice extremely cautiously and said: "Lord Richard, we have entered the territory of the scorpion and may be detected at any time. deep."

"Setting a trap?" Chen Rui was stunned, showing a thoughtful look: "I want to confirm first, is there definitely a scorpion egg in that poisonous cave?"

"The scorpion in the Venomous Cave is a male and a female. Just three months ago, the fire team encountered a female scorpion that was about to lay eggs. Except for the two who escaped, the rest were killed by the male scorpion." Lucio The tone was bleak with empathy, "It seems that the female lion and scorpion should have successfully laid eggs. Pastor Mana is a member of the Church of Light. After learning the news, he immediately bid for a reward. Although the reward is high, this task is too difficult. Great, not even the strongest Holy Feather mercenary group in town."

The territory of the Yangshao Kingdom is not vast, but it is quite famous in various countries. The founder Robben was a mercenary, and he brought a mercenary group to create a miracle of nation-building. The Yangshao Kingdom is relatively loose in the management of mercenaries, giving the mercenaries a lot of freedom. It is called the kingdom of mercenaries. One of the three major general associations of the Mercenary Union is located in the capital, and the other two are located in Long Huang and Lan Yao Empire.

Gudan Town is not an important town in the Yangshao Kingdom. However, the strength of the mercenary branch is not weak. According to Lucio, the Saint Feather mercenary group is a black crystal-level team. The leader, Xiwen, is close to the holy level. The entire mercenary world is also considered a little famous. I dare not take this task.

In fact, everyone understands that it is not that Sheng Yu can't complete it, but that the price to be paid is too great. So don't want to take it.

Chen Rui looked at the cave in the distance and continued to walk forward: "Since it is confirmed that there are scorpion eggs in the Venomous Cave, let's go."

"Oh." Lucio just responded. Immediately felt wrong, "Ah? Just go like this? Wait! My lord..."

"My lord! At least one of the two scorpions is close to the holy level, and the monster talent is powerful, and its combat power is even higher than that of humans at the same level..." Lucio was in a hurry, his voice was not suppressed, I heard a roar coming from a distance, which made the spearman's legs go soft, and he was almost scared to pee.

I saw a tall figure flying out of the cave in the distance, flapping its wings and rushing towards this side. Lucio did not expect to startle the terrifying beast so quickly. The hairs all over his body stood up, and a nightmare that had plagued him for a year reappeared in front of his eyes.

The spearman desperately told himself to run away, but his weak feet were as heavy as lead, and he could only hold on to the handle of the spear that had lost the tip of his spear, as if it was the only thing that could be grasped.

The terrifying ferocious beast is getting closer. Without the roar that once made Lucio unforgettable, the scene from a year ago reappeared in his mind, the ghostly figure, the sharp minions, the figures of the fallen companions, the blood-red sight...

Heavy breathing resounded in his ears, and some blood that had been thought to be cooled due to decadence suddenly ignited, and the fear was suddenly covered by another kind of anger [post bar set sail *why be safe* text] and hatred. The spearman clenched the weapon in his hand that could only be called a stick, let out a roar that he couldn't believe, and stabbed forward with all his strength.

It was the most powerful shot Lucio had ever stabbed since that incident, and probably the last shot in his life. Lucio didn't know why he did this, maybe it was just an almost instinctive reaction, and most importantly, he had already done it.

Suddenly, the spearmen saw the light, which was as dazzling as the sun in the dark jungle, without the warmth of the sun, only an indescribable power of destruction.

When Lucio came back to his senses, the light disappeared, and the nightmare that flapped his wings also disappeared.

The spearman looked at the wooden stick he stabbed in surprise... Is this the power of his own shot? Joke, definitely not possible!

Suddenly, Chen Rui's figure appeared in front of him. Three oval-shaped objects were suspended in his hands. These three objects were about thirty centimeters in length.

"This is... a scorpion egg?" Lucio still maintained his spear stance, but he looked extremely stiff. How could this be possible? If the previous nightmare has passed, then the scene in front of you is another dream?

"Okay, you can go back." The other party's reaction was very dull, as if the three eggs were laid by ordinary poultry, not those laid by the fearsome beast lion and scorpion.

Lucio threw down the gun, squeezed his big leg, and finally woke up - it wasn't a dream, it was real! So, what about the two scorpions?

In such a short period of time, unscathed...

Lucio's gaze towards Chen Rui was no longer fear, but a complete awe at another spiritual level.

Saint-level powerhouse!

Lucio bowed deeply. This general etiquette is somewhat similar to that of the demon world, but the position of the hands is slightly different. The demon world is placed on the abdomen or heart, and the left and right hands are optional, while the etiquette on the ground is to place the right hand on the left shoulder.

Recalling that when I was in the mercenary union, I borrowed the power of Red Beard

To deal with "Richard"'s careful thinking, Lucio couldn't help but secretly shame: let alone kill him, even if it is to kill the red-bearded Rotan, the other party doesn't have to do anything.

"It's my honor to meet such a strong man as your lord! These two scorpions are the biggest scourge of the Blue Wild Forest. At least 300 mercenaries have died in their hands, including my former companions. I can't describe my feelings and respect for the adults."

Chen Rui shook his head slightly: "I can kill them today, and someone stronger can kill me another day. The so-called disaster or hatred, in the final analysis, is nothing but the law of survival. Natural selection, survival of the fittest. From a certain perspective From the point of view, I am also weak. As a weak person, it is not that I do not have the power to survive or advance to become stronger, but the premise is that I do not give up this power. Do you understand?"

Lucio nodded and smiled bitterly: "I actually understand this truth, and maybe I can understand a little more now. If... the adults can give me a chance to live."

"Oh?"

The spearman hesitated for a while, and finally said through gritted teeth, "I have something to confess to your lord. Your lord should have been practicing in a secret place for many years, not asking about world affairs. With the mercenary badge, from King Yangshao to Longhuang Empire, it is impossible to go to Baiya. Because it will be the day when the Temple of Light selects temple knights, and now Baiya has begun to be closed, except for relevant personnel, no one is allowed to enter. , must wait until after the selection of the temple knights is completed, it will reopen and allow believers to enter worship and pray."

"Temple Knight Selection?" This news really surprised Chen Rui. "How long will it take to lift the lockdown?"

Lucio replied respectfully: "The selection of Temple Knights is once every fifty years. It is said that there are various trials and competitions, and each time is about two to three months."

Chen Rui's brows furrowed tightly. His time is only five months, except for the acquisition of cedar flowers. There is still a huge burden of one million faith crystals. If the selection of the temple knights alone will be delayed for three months, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up later, and they must not wait passively.

"Please forgive me for my previous ignorance and ignorance." After understanding the strength level of the opponent, Lucio no longer dared to have any extra thoughts. Offending a division-level powerhouse and offending a level-up powerhouse are completely two different things. different concepts. "If no one really has an urgent matter to go to White Cliff, and you don't want to make it public, I have an idea."

Chen Rui glanced at Lucio: "Tell me about it."

"Sir, you can get through the joints through the clergy of the Church of Light and try to become a relevant person in the selection of knights."

"Clergy?"

Lucio nodded: "For example, Pastor Mana, who posted this mission. My father had a little friendship with Pastor Mana before he died. I know this person has a great desire for power and money. This time The bounty for the scorpion eggs, Ken [Post Bar Sailing *Why Well* Text] is definitely not to eliminate hidden dangers for Gudan Town... In fact, Pastor Mana has long been dissatisfied with being the head of the church in Gudan Town, and he is not satisfied with the position of the bishop of Wangdu. It has been coveted for a long time. According to the usual practice, after this temple knight selection, there will be related changes and adjustments in the positions of the light churches in various places. For Pastor Mana, it is a long-awaited opportunity. The lion scorpion egg is very likely to be used. for bribery."

Chen Rui didn't expect the hard-pressed spearmen to have this kind of analytical ability, and his eyes lit up: "What do you mean..."

"Bypassing the guild's mission and directly using the scorpion eggs to walk the path of Pastor Mana. Perhaps, I can help the adults a little."

"Your plan does have reference value, but..." Chen Rui pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed a meaningful smile: "Since I want to secretly enter the White Cliff, the more you know, the faster you will die. You Since you can think of starting from Pastor Mana, it is impossible not to think of this, so you are not afraid..."

Lucio suddenly knelt down on one knee: "I swore that whoever can kill these two scorpions to avenge my companions, my life is his! I want to be a follower of the adults!"

Since the previous moment of life and death, the spearman felt that his nerves, which had been numbed by decadence and alcohol, seemed to regain a bit of sobriety. It was a great opportunity to meet a saint-level powerhouse, even if this opportunity There is a danger of losing your life at any time. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

From the moment he confessed earlier, Lucio was determined to give it a shot.

It's too vulgar to accept my brother as soon as I arrived on the new map... Chen Rui understands Lucio's intention. He is too unfamiliar with the situation on the ground, and he needs time urgently. Lucio is a good person who is familiar with the environment. candidates, and the plan does work.

"You are wrong, only the dead are the most reliable keepers."

This sentence made Lucio, who was kneeling on one knee, tremble and sweat.

"However, Your Excellency Lucio, congratulations, you made the right bet, the following is a question of contract formalities." Chen Rui smiled: "The thing I most want to say to you is that you are unlucky. Value, it will be S from now on."
