Chapter 800 Sunset Mountains
The one-eyed man pulled Ye Feng into a remote corner. He usually avoided other people for discussions and had a special place for discussions.
Five or six men surrounded Ye Feng. Only then did Ye Feng find out that this one-eyed man was the leader of the Huya mercenary group. His name was One-eyed Tiger. He was also quite famous in the mercenary world. His eye was acquired during a mission. medium damaged.
In order to protect his employer at the time, One-Eyed Tiger single-handedly monopolized a master, and eventually lost an eye in exchange for a life. From then on, he became famous, so the reputation of the Huya mercenary group was quite good.
Hearing that Ye Feng only needed to collect Qianxincao, several mercenaries were also stunned. They were usually hired to either kill people or set fires. At the last time, they were hired to help transport some things or act as guards.
Generally speaking, the higher the level of danger, the higher the commission. Knowing that Ye Feng is only collecting Thousand Heart Grass, the risk factor must be very low, because Ye Feng just needs them to be a guide.
Looking at the ugly expressions on their faces, Ye Feng certainly knew what they were thinking. It was difficult to earn a lot of resources from such a task, and it was also a waste of time.
"Don't worry, resources are not a problem. Based on the number of tasks you usually take, I will increase it by one-third."
Ye Feng didn't want to embarrass them, so he increased the commission by one-third.
"Okay, little brother, feel free!"
Seeing Ye Feng so happy, One-Eyed Tiger stopped being pretentious and took Ye Feng to the union to register.
If you don't register, once mercenaries appear to assassinate their employers, there will be endless attempts to seize resources. This can also be regarded as a constraint on the mercenaries.
However, this kind of thing still happens often, so the hired person usually rarely goes with him. He pays half of the deposit first, and then pays the remaining half of the deposit when the task is completed.
After registering, Ye Feng took out a storage bag and handed it to Captain Huya.
"This is the payment in advance. After the task is completed, I will pay you the remaining half."
Ye Feng had already found out clearly before coming here. Generally, hiring a mercenary costs about 10,000 Yuan Dan per day. For six of them, the cost per day is 60,000 Yuan.
Ye Feng planned to hire for three days, and the total cost was 180,000 yuan. Ye Feng first took out 100,000 yuan, which was a deposit.
As for the other 20,000, Ye Feng encouraged them and hoped to collect more Qianxincao.
"May I ask your surname, sir?"
After the formalities were completed, the six mercenaries followed Ye Feng and walked out of the city together.
"My surname is Ye, you can just call me Young Master Ye!"
As for Ye Feng, he didn't tell them his real name, only his surname. Anyway, they wouldn't have much interaction with each other. After three days, they went their separate ways again, and Ye Feng wouldn't stay any longer.
After leaving the city gate, under the leadership of the Huya mercenary group, a group of seven people quickly got into the continuous Sunset Mountains.
The one-eyed tiger was very polite along the way. Although Ye Feng was lower than a few of them, he didn't mean to look down on Ye Feng at all.
"Master Ye, when entering the Sunset Mountains, I want to tell you what you need to pay attention to."
As the one-eyed tiger walked, he explained to Ye Feng the dangers in the Sunset Mountains and what he needed to pay attention to.
With nothing to do, Ye Feng just passed the time on the road and listened quietly to One-Eyed Tiger's explanation.
"There are only three things we have to guard against in the Sunset Mountains: humans, poisons, and beasts. The so-called humans often plunder each other. In the Sunset Mountains, it happens almost every day."
The one-eyed tiger started talking.
Ye Feng nodded, this is also in line with the style of Shenwu Continent, especially in inaccessible places, where there are endless incidents of plundering each other.
"The second is poison. The Sunset Mountains are also called the Poisonous Sun Mountains. There are poisonous gases and swamps everywhere here. Without mercenaries like us who have been wandering on the edge of death all year round, it would be difficult for ordinary people to get out safely.
Because we have set foot in many poisonous places, we can say that we have exchanged our lives for these valuable things. "
Speaking of their experiences, the other mercenaries looked proud. Although they were mercenaries, they were also bloody men.
There was no expression on Ye Feng's face, but he was still secretly glad in his heart. Fortunately, he did not blindly enter the Sunset Mountains, otherwise he would really be in danger.
"Finally, there are the beasts. The monsters in the Sunset Mountains are different from other places. The monsters here mainly live in groups. Once a single soldier fights alone and encounters a group of monsters, it is difficult to escape. Although Tianyao City is impregnable, it is still inevitable. Frequently attacked by monsters.”
Unknowingly, the group of people entered the mountains and were greeted by the humid air, giant trees that blocked the sky, huge flowers, and more rattan plants everywhere.
This is completely a primitive forest. It is estimated that when humans enter, a drop of water will undoubtedly merge into the sea. Without a guide, they may even become disoriented instantly after entering.
"Master Ye, we are collecting Thousand Heart Grasses, not in depth, but moving sideways. We are in a stone forest valley in the Sunset Mountains, where there are more Thousand Heart Grasses."
The One-Eyed Tiger is indeed a veteran mercenary. He is very familiar with the terrain of the Sunset Mountains. Of course he knows where there are more Thousand Heart Grasses.
"Then let's go!"
Ye Feng didn't want to delay for too long. Time was tight and the few of them had no time to rest, so they hurried towards the direction of Stone Forest Valley.
The group of people shuttled through dense thorns. In many places, there were no roads at all. Even if there were roads, within a few days, these dense thorns would spread everywhere and submerge the roads.
Fortunately, the Huya mercenary group often appears in the Sunset Mountains and knows some of the terrain very well. They took out the prepared machetes and carved out a living path, and the group moved forward quickly.
The six people continued to open up. An hour later, they crossed the thorny area and entered the gravel mountain road. The ground was full of gravel, so they had to use their body skills and lift their feet slightly off the ground to avoid getting hurt.
These stones are very strange, like awls, rooted in the ground. Once you step on them, you will definitely hurt your feet.
"This is called a gravel road. It is about a mile long in total. There is almost no danger here. Because of the gravel, monsters don't like to come here."
The One-Eyed Tiger introduced Ye Feng that the place was full of rubble, but monsters did not like to come here, and there was no food here.
One mile is neither long nor short. It took a full hour to walk. The main reason was that the gravel road was too difficult to walk.
"Mr. Ye, let's take a rest. There's still a long way to go, and we must gather enough strength."
Just after crossing the gravel road, the One-Eyed Tiger asked for a rest and kept on walking. Moreover, it was still a very difficult gravel road. Several mercenaries were sweating profusely. They relied on their true energy to move along the way.
On the other hand, Ye Feng didn't have a trace of sweat on his forehead. Even the one-eyed tiger couldn't understand Ye Feng. Didn't Ye Feng consume his energy along the way?
Seeing the tired looks of several people, Ye Feng stopped, sat down cross-legged, and began to recover his strength. He relied on the misty mist to rush on, consuming very little real energy.
"Mr. Ye, forgive me for talking too much. This Thousand Heart Grass has almost no medicinal value. Why do you collect so many Thousand Heart Grass?"
The One-Eyed Tiger wanted to ask along the way, but because of his face, he was too embarrassed to say anything, so now he finally asked.
"Of course I have a use, it's inconvenient to reveal it, I hope you'll forgive me!"
Of course, Ye Feng would not tell him that he was possessed by a forbidden witchcraft, so he could only explain it away first.
Since Ye Feng refused to say anything, they couldn't continue to ask questions. Since they came to the Sunset Mountains, he must have his purpose.
It was almost time to rest, and the group continued on the road. Fortunately, this place was not very close to the depths of the Sunset Mountains, and there were few monsters.
"We have to be careful next. We are starting to enter the depths of the Sunset Mountains. We may be attacked by monsters or black bandits on the way. Everyone, please keep your spirits up."
The One-Eyed Tiger said to the five mercenaries behind him. Although he did this every time, the One-Eyed Tiger still kept talking.
"Yes, leader!"
The five people shouted in unison.
"Captain Tiger, what is a black bandit?"
Ye Feng had a puzzled tone, it was not difficult for the monster to understand, but this black bandit puzzled Ye Feng.
"Young Master Ye doesn't know anything. In the Sunset Mountains, a group of people are entangled together and form an alliance. They call themselves black bandits. They often haunt the Sunset Mountains, robbing homes, raping, killing and looting. They do all kinds of evil. We, the mercenary group, hate it very much. Once we encounter They just want to protect themselves and be happy. "
One-eyed Tiger gave a brief introduction.
Ye Feng nodded. These people should be targeting those who come in to take the elixir. By killing them, they can seize the elixir and obtain resources.
As we walked further in, the humidity became more and more serious, to the point where we couldn't even see the sky when we looked up. A layer of white mist appeared in the sky, blocking everyone's sight.
"Master Ye, it is forbidden to fly in the Sunset Mountains. Don't underestimate the white mist. Once you fly up, your whole body will definitely fester to death. These are poisonous gases. After being formed by marsh gas, they evaporate little by little and hover over the Sunset Mountains. , forming a natural protective shield.”
It is poison to humans, but it is protecting the Sunset Mountains.
Ye Feng looked up with his spiritual consciousness and found that the mist was very corrosive. There were traps everywhere in the Sunset Mountains. If you were not careful, you would stay here.
"stop!"
The one-eyed tiger suddenly signaled everyone to stop, as if he had discovered something.
The five mercenaries immediately drew their scimitars and prepared for battle.
Ye Feng also secretly became vigilant. The Sunset Mountain Range was too dangerous and he had to be careful.
At the signal of the one-eyed tiger, several people slowly squatted down and found a huge monster walking slowly in front of them, without noticing them, and left directly.
"It's so dangerous. This is the fourth-level Shenwu peak monster. Once we encounter it, it will be difficult for us to escape intact."
The one-eyed tiger wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. In the Sunset Mountains, it was almost common to encounter monsters. The only way was to be vigilant and avoid them as much as possible.
After watching the monster go away, the one-eyed tiger stood up and led everyone on, heading towards the Stone Forest Valley quickly.
