After the dust disappeared, Jiang Yixue and the other two thought there was a stone man standing in the middle of the alley, and they were so scared that they almost screamed.
But when they looked closely, they were surprised to find that the stone man was actually a bloody man, not a real stone man, but Du Jie whose body was embedded with stones. He stood there, looking into the distance with empty eyes. He had no life and died with his eyes open.
Nangong Yang was extremely furious. All the magic power in his body exploded, lifting all the nearby stones into the air and smashing them towards Du Jie like angry cannonballs.
Du Jie's self-righteous defense was destroyed like a piece of paper.
Driven by powerful magic, the stone not only crushed Du Jie to death, but also embedded itself deeply into his body, turning him into a veritable stone man.
The remote alley suddenly became quiet at this moment, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Huan Ji stuck out her tongue: "The deputy gang leader is finished."
Jiang Yixue looked at Nangong Yang sympathetically and comforted him, "Don't be angry with this kind of trash. There's no need to pay attention to him. Just smash him to death."
Nangong Yang showed a helpless smile: "I feel like I've stained my hands by killing him."
Rona sighed softly: "In fact, sometimes we choose to keep things quiet, but there are always some troublemakers who won't let you be quiet and want to chase you and beat you. Now it's good, I've become a stone man."
Jiang Yixue asked Luo Na curiously: "When will your brothers who are responsible for scouting and gathering information come back?"
Rona looked around and said, "He doesn't need to come back. This was originally our hiding place, but it's all destroyed. We need to find another place."
Huan Ji asked curiously, "Do you have any other places to stay?"
Rona's eyes showed a sly look: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. If we want to survive in this dangerous world, we must be more cunning than rabbits. Otherwise, we would have no place to hide when facing these jackals."
Jiang Yixue asked anxiously: "This place is all destroyed. Can your brother who is responsible for gathering information find you?"
Rona made a few marks on several half-collapsed walls. They looked like symbols or graffiti. Jiang Yixue didn't understand them, but Huan Ji knew what Rona was doing.
"Lorna, what did you draw on the wall? Are you trying to pay tribute to your dead brother?"
Huan Ji smiled and answered for Rona: "That's not for memorial service. It's a code unique to their mercenary group, used to pass messages. Of course you can't understand it."
Rona dusted off her hands: "Now he can find me. He will know where to find me when he sees the mark."
She said to Nangong Yang with a depressed look: "Brother Nangong Yang, can you do me a favor?"
Nangong Yang smiled and said, "Just tell me what you need me to do."
Looking at the brothers of the mercenary group who fell in a pool of blood and died in battle, Rona's eyes were filled with sadness.
"Can you help me bury them?"
"Are you going to make a grave?"
"No need. They are all wanderers without families, fighting for their fate in the demon world. Death is a destination for them. Let them return to the embrace of Mother Earth."
Nangong Yang nodded. In the demon world, because of the wars between fairies and demons, wars between various gangs, wars between different races, and even wars between lords, countless demons, humans, and monsters die every year. No one would remember their names, and no one would hold memorial services for them.
They are like weeds, growing out of the earth, and after a storm, being buried in the soil again.
Luo Na brought Jiang Yixiu to her other place, which was in the backyard of a snack shop. It was very quiet and there were several brothers from the mercenary group who were busy running the snack shop.
Some members of the Iron Fist Mercenary Group would wear the emblem of the mercenary group, while others would hide their identities and quietly hide in the market, running some small businesses. No one knew their true identities.
Seeing Rona bringing her friends over, a demon from the mercenary group greeted her respectfully. Seeing the blood on Rona's forehead, he asked worriedly, "Captain, what happened?"
Rona said lightly: "We were intercepted by the Demon Axe Gang, a bunch of ignorant people."
The demon asked worriedly, "Where are they?"
"I fought a great battle with them. Since I survived, you should know what happened to them."
The demon heaved a sigh of relief: "Captain, I'm glad you're okay. Things have been unsettled outside lately. The Demon Axe Gang has spread the word that they are irreconcilable with us and will kill anyone from our mercenary group if they see them."
Rona disagreed: "It doesn't matter, but we have won the last few battles. Even though they are shouting loudly, they will definitely not be our opponents if we really fight. They are in Nangong City, and there are not many people who can intercept us."
"Most of them followed their leader, Hagrid, to Xiumojian."
"Oh, no wonder there were only Du Jie and a few dozen people. It turns out they all went to repair the Demon Gorge."
When they heard Rona mention Du Jie, the faces of several mercenaries changed. They all knew that Du Jie was the deputy leader of the Demon Axe Gang. If he personally led people to intercept Rona, it would be no small matter.
The demon clan member asked in surprise, "Captain, the person who blocked you is Du Jie? The deputy leader of the Demon Axe Gang?"
Someone brought some fruit to Rona and her friends. Rona took an apple and started eating it first.
"Yes what's the matter?"
Another brother interrupted, "Sister Luo Na, Du Jie is the second in command of the Demon Axe Gang. The members of the Demon Axe Gang that he leads are all their elites. Sister Luo Na, are you really okay?"
Huan Ji also ate an apple and said disdainfully: "That Du Jie, he has no skills at all, he can only cast some magic. He is an intermediate magic wizard, but we still killed him."
The brothers of the mercenary group were surprised, but shook their heads. In the demon world, the power of the magic wizard was full of mystery. They had a higher status than ordinary demon warriors. An intermediate magic wizard was equivalent to a master of the demon lord level of the sixth level of magic power. Huan Ji actually looked down on him. This was too frivolous.
Jiang Yixue smiled and said, "That's because we have helpers who are more powerful than him. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to come back."
Nangong Yang smiled faintly. At this time, he had returned to normal. Uncle Mellon's soul retreated and rested, and his own soul dominated his body.
There were slight knocks on the snack bar's door, three fast and one slow. Rona's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Xiaojian is back."
Xiao Jian is the brother of the mercenary group that Rona sent to Xiumojian to gather information.
He was a short demon with an anxious and tired look on his face, but fatigue was not his biggest problem. He rushed back from Xiumo Gorge without stopping, without even a sip of water, and almost died of thirst.
He quickly scooped a bucket of water from the water tank and started drinking it. He gulped down several big mouthfuls. Because he drank too quickly, he almost choked on the water.
After relieving his thirst, he reported the situation to Rona.
