"Huh?" The captain also seemed surprised, and walked in from the front cabin. This is a bearded man with sunken eyes. It seems that he has never slept well, but his eyes are extremely fierce. He glanced at Qianye, his eyelids twitched, his face became more serious, and he said, "He's a master. Well, I just don't want them to damage my boat, and I didn't mean to offend."
Although Qianye didn't use his blood to lurk, he restrained his aura. If he was in the empire, few people would be able to see through his strength. But in the neutral land, most of the guys they met had extremely keen intuition. They didn't need to see clearly to know that Qianye was very powerful.
This made Qianye very helpless, but in this cruel world, the guy who was not sensitive enough to danger would have died long ago, right
Qianye nodded to the captain, and didn't have any intention of pursuing it. He got up and walked past the stumbling passengers and crew, and was about to disembark.
It is inevitable to step on this person's hand or that person's leg when walking, but no one complains, and the expression on their faces does not change. The captain's roar knocked down all the people in the cabin, but Qianye acted nonchalantly, as long as he wasn't a fool, he could tell that Qianye was much stronger than himself. Regardless of mercenaries or crew members, they are just aggressive and fierce, but they don't have the habit of dying without incident.
Arriving at the cabin door, Qianye saw that two other airships had just landed not far away, and most of the people who descended from them were mercenaries.
Qianye knew the scale of Nanqing City, and the Battle of Lingang had just ended, and the exploration of the earth dragon's lair was even more secret, so the mercenaries had nothing to do with it. It stands to reason that mercenaries who can't get business should gradually leave and go to other places to seek a living. Anyway, in the neutral land, there are wars everywhere, and there is no need to worry about no one to hire. But now there are mercenaries constantly coming, which is a bit abnormal. Could it be related to the earth dragon's lair
Qianye asked the captain: "Are there going to be wars again? Why are there so many mercenaries?"
"It's not a war, but it's almost the same as a war. Something happened." At this point, the captain kept silent.
Qianye knew that he was trying to trick him, so he took out a few gold coins and stuffed them in. Then the captain said: "I heard that there is a little girl haunting the Black Forest recently. A young master of the Nanqing City Lord like this, got the news Afterwards, he rushed over to arrest him, but for some reason, he never came back. After this incident, the city lord of Nanqing was furious and offered a huge reward, and he must bring the little girl back. Many people got After hearing the news, come over to try your luck."
The little girl in the Black Forest? Isn't that Zhu Ji? Murderous intent arose in Qianye's heart, and he remained calm on the surface, continuing to ask: "How much is a little guy worth? Besides, if it's really a little girl, how could she kill a whole team of guards?"
"It's nothing impossible, because there is a black forest there, and there are countless native ghosts. Nanqing City Lord has made a big decision this time, and wants to wipe out all the native ghosts in that area. By the way, see if he can uproot the Black Forest. Of course, this is news that most people know."
Qianye stuffed a few more gold coins and asked, "What about the news that others don't know?"
The captain continued to spread his hand, saying: "Not enough."
Qianye simply took out the money bag, poured out half of the bag of gold coins, and filled the captain's big hand, and then said: "Is that enough now?"
Qianye's straightforwardness made the captain very satisfied. He stuffed his hands full of gold coins back into his pocket, and said, "I know your money is hot, don't worry, my news is definitely worth the price. There are two more relevant news , and there is another news that is not so certain, it is all in this price.”
The captain turned around and shouted: "Close the cabin door, this is valuable and important news. All poor ghosts who have no money, stay here and wait until I finish talking before getting out of the boat!"
The mercenaries in the boat were helpless and murmured, but no one dared to really curse out loud.
Only then did the captain lower his voice, and said: "The first news is that someone recognized the little girl as a juvenile spider demon. For some reason, she got mixed up with the original ghosts. It is said that this news reached the Spider Emperor. , he is very interested in this little guy, part of the bounty offered by City Lord Nanqing is from the Spider Emperor."
"The news spread so quickly." Qianye didn't stay in the dragon's lair for long, including the time to go to and from the North Continent, it was only a few days, and even the Spider Emperor had a reaction.
"Most mercenaries make money from news, and they know what kind of news they should sell to." The captain commented, and continued: "The second news is related to the empire. It is said that some people came over there, of course with secret identities , No one knows what they are here for. But these people are very interested in seeing the wood from the Black Forest, and are willing to pay a high price to buy it. You know that old guy can smell gold coins half a continent away."
Qianye nodded. The horror of the neutral land Black Forest lies in the hidden native races. If the native races are wiped out, then the Black Forest is just a strange forest with vitality, which can still be cut down. So City Lord Nanqing took the Spider Emperor's money to spread bounties, but his real purpose was probably the wood from the Black Forest. If the empire makes a large-scale acquisition, it is conceivable that the price of timber produced in the Black Forest will skyrocket in a short time.
"There is one last piece of news. It may or may not be related to the matter here. I heard that a battleship was seen crashing on the edge of the land not long ago. It is said that it was a very large battleship, maybe it belonged to the Duke. The ship. By the way, it looks like it is the battleship of the Eternal Night Blood Race, but it finally crashed in the void, so this news has not been confirmed. Well, that's all I know, you should get off the ship, kid! "
Stepping out of the airship, Qianye looked gloomy, glanced at the mercenaries disembarking one after another, and left.
Many mercenaries shivered inexplicably, but for some reason, they just cursed the hellish weather in the neutral land. The captain squinted his eyes, looked at Qianye's disappearing figure, and said after a long time: "It's so murderous."
The first officer next to him tentatively asked, "Do you know who he is?"
The captain shrugged and said: "I'm just guessing, but if it's really him, then this place will be very lively. Anyway, these bad things have nothing to do with us. Get ready, set sail in two hours, and fight for Make another trip!"
The first officer and the crew members agreed abruptly, and immediately got busy. During this special period, every time a ship of mercenaries is transported, they can receive an extra reward from Nanqing City. There are not many days when such good money is made.
Qianye left the landing field, planning to buy a motorcycle in the city and rush to the Black Forest. But when he came to the block specialized in buying and selling motorcycles, he was surprised to find that all the shops were empty, and even the oldest off-road vehicles were sold out. There weren't even many parts left in the store, and the key parts were even out of stock, which made his idea of buying parts and assembling a locomotive by himself come to nothing.
Qianye's face was even more gloomy. The empty blocks can only show one thing, that is, the locomotives have been bought by mercenaries. They bought the car for only one purpose, and that was to go to the Black Forest to arrest little Zhuji.
Qianye is still very confident in little Zhuji's combat power, and is even more at home in the Black Forest. In terms of combat strength on paper, even a complete mercenary regiment would be eaten away by her. However, fighting is not a number game on paper after all, mercenaries are good at using various insidious means, such as traps, poisons and so on. After all, Zhu Ji was young and didn't have enough combat experience, so she was likely to be tricked.
Now that time was running out, Qianye no longer bought means of transportation, but went out of the city, hijacked a motorcycle from a small group of mercenaries outside the city, and drove to the Black Forest at full speed.
At this moment, the Black Forest is many times more lively than in the past. When Qianye arrived, the first thing he saw were three large camps, and even built a simple landing pad for airships. On the edge of the take-off and landing site, various cargo boxes were piled up like a hill. Some boxes had already been opened, and engineers and mercenaries were assembling them. It seemed that they were assembling heavy-duty trucks and some logging machinery. In the central camp, there is even a half-built power tower.
Apparently, the host of this operation has big ambitions and intends to eat all of this Black Forest.
There are many wooden stakes erected around the camp, on which are hung native race fighters. This is a psychological tactic, on the one hand it is intimidating, on the other hand it is intended to anger the native race and try to get them out of the Black Forest. As long as they leave the Black Forest, their combat power will be weakened by at least one-third.
I don't know if such a tactic will work, but the mercenaries are rolling between life and death, and naturally there is a tyrannical emotion in their hearts that needs to be vented.
The warriors of the native race hanging from the wooden stakes are basically humanoid, but many parts of their bodies have the characteristics of beasts, and some of them are extraordinarily tall, with long hands and long legs, but a very slender figure. Those with the characteristics of beasts are the lowest-level fighters in the original race. They only have low intelligence and basically belong to the role of cannon fodder. Only those few tall warriors over two meters are the backbone of the original race.
Qianye hadn't observed the native race at close range, so he walked under the stake and took a closer look. The throats of these fighters have obvious protrusions, which should be organs capable of making special screams. In addition, judging from their body shape, they are very suitable for fighting in the forest.
While watching, a group of mercenaries rushed out of the camp noisily, shouting as they ran, "The little guy has been surrounded! Hurry up!"
"What? Have you completed the encirclement? It's so powerful!"
"I heard that the Wrath of the Wind mercenary group completed the interlude, killed countless native ghosts, and finally surrounded the native ghosts and the little guy in a forest area."
Immediately, a group of young mercenaries became anxious: "Then what are you waiting for? We can't even drink soup when we go late."
The veteran soldier sneered: "Do you think native ghosts are so easy to deal with? I don't know how many are surrounded. If you want to bite them down, I'm afraid many people will die. The Black Forest has never been a fun place. The fury of the wind In order to break through the passage, I am afraid I will pay a heavy price."
At the moment, some people disagreed, "What are dead people? Which one of us in the war didn't go into battle with our heads up? This business is so lucrative, if you don't take the opportunity to grab a ticket, when will you wait? Why are you afraid of death?" soldiers?"
Many people followed suit, and a group of mercenaries boarded the car noisily, and rushed towards the Black Forest in a swarm.
Seeing the mercenaries going away, Qianye's eyes were cold, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
