Following the words of the young man in blue noble attire, the old man stopped and backed away from Gray.
The young man in blue aristocratic clothing looked at Gray with a slight apology on his face and said sincerely.
"Sorry, we don't mean any harm, we just really like the silver metal ball in your hand so much that we want to buy the silver metal ball from you. Of course, the price is negotiable."
"I've already said, I don't sell this thing."
Gray took a deep look at the young man wearing blue noble clothing and said.
"I understand, please don't worry, we won't pester you anymore."
The young man in blue aristocratic clothing smiled apologetically again, very free and authentic.
"Brother, but..."
Next to him, a young man in purple clothes was anxious and wanted to speak out, but was stopped by a young man in blue aristocratic clothes who raised his hand.
"It goes without saying."
The young man in purple clothes seemed unwilling to give in, but he was stopped by the young man in blue aristocratic clothes. It was obvious that the young man in blue aristocratic clothes was very authoritative.
After helping the injured middle-aged man up, the group of people, led by a young man in blue aristocratic clothing, moved away and appeared on another street.
"Brother, that silver metal ball must be the thing recorded in the family book collection..."
Walking to this street, the young man in purple suddenly said anxiously.
"I know."
The young man in blue aristocratic clothing nodded lightly.
"Then you still...?"
The young man in purple clothes was anxious.
"This person is not simple. He is only in his 20s and has the strength of a mad blood warrior. He should be from a big family."
The young man wearing blue aristocratic clothing said calmly.
"But just let it go..."
The young man in purple clothes refused to accept it.
"Of course you can't let it go."
The eyes of the young man wearing blue aristocratic clothing suddenly turned cold.
"That silver metal ball is of great use to the family, we must get it."
"Brother, what do you mean...?"
The young man in purple's eyes suddenly lit up.
"There are too many people in the town, so it's not convenient to take action. Next to it is the Thunder Forest. I guess he will enter the Thunder Forest. It won't be too late to take action then."
The young man in blue aristocratic clothing said coldly.
Discarding all other minerals, Gray frowned slightly and put away the silver metal ball alone.
Although he got the silver ball, something happened, which he didn't expect.
"Master Gray, what exactly is this silver metal ball?"
Seeing Gray put away the silver metal ball, Alice and Hailey asked curiously.
"I don't know what it is specifically, but if someone wants this thing, they can exchange it for something of great value."
"I'm afraid those people won't just give up?"
Alice whispered.
She could see that the two aristocratic young men were obviously determined to get the silver metal ball. The reason why they gave up was probably because there were too many people in the town and it was difficult to rob them.
"I know."
Gray nodded, he could naturally see the duplicity of the young man in blue aristocratic clothing.
If the other party wanted to stop his men from robbing, they would have stopped it as early as the first person robbed.
But the other party waited until the second person fought with him and he had already demonstrated the strength of a mad blood warrior before speaking out to stop him.
Obviously the other party didn't want to snatch it, but changed their decision temporarily due to external factors.
"That group of people should attack us in the Thunder Forest."
Hailey frowned.
Although she is not old, she once had a father who was a mad blood warrior. She has heard a lot about all kinds of darkness. She is so influenced that she will not simply think that the other party has given up.
"It's okay. It's okay if they don't do evil things in the Thunder Forest. If they do evil things to us in the Thunder Forest, I will let them understand the consequences."
Gray's eyes were slightly cold.
Being able to have the Mad Blood Warrior follow and protect him means that the force behind him is definitely not weak, but he is not really afraid of him either.
His own strength is already very close to the Barbarian Blood Warriors, and coupled with the iron-armed Barbarian Ape in the rune space bag, he is not afraid at all even if the Barbarian Blood Warriors attack.
And he didn't believe that there were wild-blood warriors around him to protect him.
A barbaric blood warrior, a strong man of that level, would be a target of tribute in any family, and it was almost impossible to do work such as guarding.
Rest for a day in the tavern and store the carriage and horses in the tavern.
On the second day, more than 30 members of the Red Wing Mercenary Group, plus Gray, left the town and headed towards Thunder Forest.
Like Gray and others, there are many mercenaries and even mercenary teams who enter the Thunder Forest in the early morning. The Thunder Forest is dangerous but also full of wealth. There are not a few people who have obtained rare medicinal materials or ores and become rich almost every day. Few mercenaries were attracted.
"The people from the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group are here too!"
Among the mercenaries traveling together, Gray discovered the members of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group.
Led by Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group, the team has slightly more people than the Red Wings Mercenary Group, with a total of more than 40 people.
Of course, these are not all members of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group. If nothing else, these people should be the elites of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group like the Red Wings Mercenary Group.
Thunder Forest is an extremely wide forest.
The terrain is complex, with swamps, basins, hills and mountains.
It is called the Thunder Forest because deep in the forest, there is an area covered by thunder and lightning all year round.
There were thunder and lightning there, and from time to time there would be winding thunder and lightning striking down. Looking from a distance, it was extremely terrifying, hence the name Thunder Forest.
Arriving outside the Thunder Forest, many mercenaries swarmed into the Thunder Forest, making a lot of noise.
As we went deeper into the Thunder Forest, the number of mercenaries traveling with us gradually became less and less. After going several miles deeper, there were no mercenaries traveling with us.
The Thunder Forest is so huge that even if there are many mercenaries entering this time, they are scattered in the Thunder Forest, and they are just like a handful of pebbles mixed in on the beach.
Gray and the Red Wings mercenary group headed towards the Corpse Hair Ape with a clear purpose. They did not hunt the beasts they encountered along the way, and they would only stop when they encountered some rare medicinal materials. Step forward to pick.
Going all the way, after traveling for dozens of miles, we are close to the area where the blood beasts are active. Generally, the mercenary team will stop going deep when they get here, but for Gray and the Red Wings mercenary group, it is obviously just the beginning.
Snap, snap, snap!
Suddenly, dense footsteps sounded, and people were seen rushing out of the dense forest in front and behind Gray and the Red Wings mercenary group, blocking their way forward and back.
These people were either wearing combat uniforms or leather armor, but without exception, they all had a black scorpion logo on their chests, which was the symbol of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group.
Among them, the one facing them was a middle-aged man with a broad face and a burly build.
There was a heavy ax on his back, which looked quite heavy, but the middle-aged man didn't feel it at all.
"Captain Dryden, what do you mean?"
Seeing the Black Scorpion mercenary group blocking the way, Hobbs's face darkened and he scolded them.
"What do you mean? Isn't it clear enough?"
Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion mercenaries, sneered.
"Back then, your Red Wings mercenary group robbed the prey of my Black Scorpion mercenary group. It's time to settle the score!"
"Captain Dryden, you are a bit arrogant. It was clearly your Black Scorpion mercenary group who wanted to snatch our prey, but failed. How come we are now snatching your prey?"
Hobbes said angrily.
"I said your Red Wings Mercenary Group robbed it, then your Red Wings Mercenary Group must have robbed it."
Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion mercenary group, said in a domineering voice.
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the Red Wings Mercenary Group and landed on Alice and Hailey, his eyes burning as he spoke.
"Finally, I will give you two a chance to join my Black Scorpion mercenary group and become my woman. Otherwise, you will definitely know the consequences."
Now that he was not in the tavern, he no longer concealed his possessiveness towards the two of them.
"dream."
Alice's face was cold, and Hailey's face was also livid. This man was almost the same age as her father, and he would actually say something like asking her to become his woman. It was simply shameless.
"It seems you are blessed."
Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group, turned cold and said playfully to the mercenaries of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group who were surrounding him.
The mercenaries of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group were all staring at Alice and Hailey with intense eyes, their eyes wandering around their towering chests and slender waists.
"Hehe, thank you boss..."
"The leader will try it first, and we will follow..."
Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group, moved his eyes away from Alice and Hailey, and finally landed on Gray.
"Young Master, this is a matter between our Black Scorpion Mercenary Group and the Red Wing Mercenary Group. I can let you go."
Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group, said after a slight pause.
"But please hand over the silver metal ball."
"Silver metal ball?"
Gray looked at Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion Mercenary, in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party also wanted to pay attention to the silver metal ball. Could it be that he was also present yesterday.
But he quickly reacted and asked.
"Did those noble brothers give you the instructions?"
"It seems that you understand very well. In this case, you'd better hand it over yourself. You are a noble after all. It would be bad if you were injured."
Dryden, the leader of the Black Scorpion mercenaries, sneered.
"Only with your own hands?"
Gray looked disdainful.
"So what if I'm included?"
The mercenaries of the Black Scorpion Mercenary Group moved out of the way, and an old man walked out.
The opponent was wearing a gray battle uniform, with a gun on his back, and a coldness about him.
