The sword and shield warrior Alexei had just drunk a sip of wine spouted out, and now he was choking uncomfortable, and the archer Alex was laughing and punching Alex on the back.

Even Shadow, who had always been cold and unsmiling, trembled his shoulders slightly, and at a glance, he knew that Zhengqiang's smile was very uncomfortable.

Zhang Xiao felt indifferent to the jokes of his companions. I am not a person in this world, and the dream forest is so big, it is normal for me to get lost. What's more, when I was on the earth, I was a road idiot, and I couldn't even recognize the streets where I lived in the small city.

"Well, we won't panic to hand in the task today, let Master Duma go back and have a good rest, and we will hand in the task tomorrow morning." Captain Robert Sassafras said to his friends who have not finished laughing.

"Okay!" Everyone smiled and picked up their belongings and left the Mercenary Guild.

After this period of rest, Zhang Xiao's spirit also improved a lot, and not long after his companions had left, he also walked to the slum area. He was a little worried about Grandpa Sam, and didn't know how he had been in the past few days.

Zhang Xiao, who hadn't walked far, realized that he was being followed. Several people were mixed in the crowd, and their attention was always directed at him.

Walking to the middle of an uninhabited alley, Zhang Xiao stopped and shouted without looking back: "Who, come out!"

A thief appeared in the alley behind him, and there were two on the walls on both sides of the alley.

"We are not malicious, but just saw your running speed is amazing, I want to invite you to join our mercenary group." Although the thief in the alley covered his face, he tried his best to calm his voice so that the other party knew that he was aware of himself. There is no malice.

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to join any mercenary team." Zhang Xiao still said coldly without turning his head back. He really didn't have a good impression of these thieves following him.

"We belong to the Black Dragon Mercenary Group. In this city, I am afraid that there is no more powerful mercenary group than our Black Dragon, right? You should consider it!" The thief said unhurriedly, Grade A. The black dragon mercenary group is the most powerful and largest mercenary group in this city, and there are also magic armors that other mercenary groups can’t afford to buy. There is more than one, and there are five of them. many.

"I said, I'm not interested!" Zhang Xiao didn't want to join any mercenary group, let alone such a large mercenary group, which would restrict his freedom and development to a large extent.

Unexpectedly, the other party would refuse so simply, the three thieves were obviously dumb, and after a deep glance at Zhang Xiao's back, the three thieves disappeared.

Feeling that the three of them had left, Zhang Xiao still stood there and didn't move. He changed into a softer tone and said, "What's the matter?"

At this moment, no one could be seen behind him, only Zhang Xiao was standing in the middle of the road in the empty alley, as if talking to the air.

Seeing no response behind him. Zhang Xiao frowned slightly, and then said, "Don't move forward, Shadow."

In the corner of the wall less than five steps behind Zhang Xiao, a dark shadow shook, and the dull-eyed dark shadow appeared.

"How did you discover me?" An A-class assassin was discovered just like that, and Shadow felt so shocked.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Xiao slowly turned around and asked Shadow Shadow in a flat tone. In fact, when he first entered the alley, he found that Shadow was following the three thieves, and he thought that Shadow was deliberately helping him. But now that the three thieves have gone, Shadow did not leave or show up, but continued to approach him invisibly, which made Zhang Xiao very suspicious.

Although he didn't believe that Shadow would be detrimental to him without completing this task, but he understood the sinister heart and prevented Shadow from constantly approaching him.

"How did you find me?" Shadow still insisted on asking this question. Zhang Xiao gave him a big blow. An A-level assassin who didn't show any breath or killing intent before attacking was discovered three steps away. This made Shadow a little unacceptable. If you let Shadow know Zhang Xiao found him a hundred steps away, and it is estimated that Shadow will collapse.

"Mental power." Zhang Xiao hesitated for a moment, and still told Shadow the answer. Although it would be troublesome to explain, he never thought of explaining.

Hearing the answer, the shadow widened his eyes, and his two hands instantly squeezed into fists, and the shadow, who had been hit once, fell into horror again. In his memory, only a mage with strong enough mental power could find an A-level assassin who was invisible three steps away and had no intention of killing.

Shadow was completely stunned. Is this kid a magister? How can this be? Even if the known magisters are counting with their fingers, they still don't need to count all of them with their toes, but none of them can match the kid in front of them. When did such a young magister appear on the mainland again, how could the guild of wizards didn't announce it, and let this kid run around the world all by himself

Shadow's head is now half of water and half of flour, and when he stirs it, it becomes a paste.

Thinking about the number and power of magic ball combos issued by Zhang Xiao, and his F-class mercenary record, Shadow finally believed a little bit.

There are many people on the mainland who like to choose to practice alone without being evaluated by a professional guild. A large number of these people have unfathomable strength. Shadow has heard of a great mage defeated by a mage without any record, so he also believes very much in the folk saying of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Zhang Xiao has been staring at the dumb shadow, what exactly does this person want to do? What purpose does he track himself for? He couldn't figure it out, but Zhang Xiao could be sure that Shadow was not malicious towards him.

"Sorry, I just had some doubts about you, and I have figured it out now. If there is something wrong, please don't take it off." The shadow that figured out saw Zhang Xiao's eyes with awe. At the beginning, he was completely driven by a strong curiosity about Zhang Xiao, and the high evaluation of Zhang Xiao from the people made him follow up, and now he regrets it a little bit.

"Nothing." Since there was nothing, Zhang Xiao didn't bother to pursue it.

"I'm really sorry, I'm leaving now." After speaking, Shadow turned over the wall lightly. It was a bit embarrassing for him to follow others when he was found, not to mention that he was still stalking the companions who were completing the task together, which made Shadow feel embarrassed.

Looking at the wall where the shadow disappeared, Zhang Xiao shook his head and continued to walk towards the slum.
