A Demon’s Path

Seeing that each of the mercenaries was seriously injured and lying on the ground, unable to move, Ling Xiao called out Nangong Yurong, Ling'er and Xiang'er to heal the mercenaries one by one.

The green-level mercenaries were fine, they were able to stand up with the help of simple pills and the healing talisman used by Nangong Yurong.

Those green-level mercenaries were seriously injured. If Ling Xiao didn't carry a lot of powerful pills, these guys would die in a short time.

The mercenaries who survived the catastrophe leaned against a stone on one side, full of thoughts.

I thought that these four people were just rich boys who came out to hunt on a whim, but they didn't expect that it was these rich boys who saved them in the end.

Especially the young man who is not too handsome but has a great temperament. Facing the blue-level monster Seven-Tailed Firefox, his calmness and wit, as well as the special skill that made his opponent commit suicide inexplicably, all made these mercenaries deep impression.

And the generosity of these two men also made them sigh. The elixir that Ling Xiao gave them was enough for their normal income for a year, not to mention the blue ones that could be used to quickly restore their soul power. Talisman paper.

"Thank you very much. In the future, as long as you need us to do something, we will complete the task for you even if you risk your life." Niu Dazhuang said with emotion: "Although I know that with the identities and strengths of the two of you, probably There's nothing we need to do."

Ling Xiao laughed and said, "That's not the case. I found that Big Brother Niu seems to be very familiar with this Locust Mountain, so can you tell me where the Thousand-armed Praying Mantis and the Ten-thousand-year-old Man-faced Spider are?"

Niu Dazhuang's face was not so ugly when he heard the thousand-armed mantis, but when he heard the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced spider, a strange and inexplicable expression appeared on his face.

"I know the locations of these two demonic beasts, but I think the two of them should forget about the ten-thousand-year-old man-faced spider. Although it is a blue-level monster like the seven-tailed Firefox, its fighting power is average. , That's why we dared to chase and kill them all the way. But the Ten Thousand Years Man-faced Spider is different, in addition to its strong attack power, it also has a poisonous gas around it that most people will die if they touch it, so it is extremely difficult to deal with."

Niu Dazhuang looked at Ling Xiao and Nangong Yurong very worriedly: "With all due respect, it's not necessary. I don't want to find that ten thousand-year-old human-faced spider."

Ling Xiao patted Niu Dazhuang on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Niu, I just came to hunt and kill this ten thousand-year-old man-faced spider because of its poison, so you don't have to persuade me. "

Niu Dazhuang knew that persuasion was useless, so he said: "The position of the wings on both sides of this locust mountain is the thousand-armed praying mantis on the left, and the ten-thousand-year-old human-faced spider on the right. Brother Xiao, when you see the vegetation growing on the ground When you are in a place that is particularly lush and dazzlingly green, you must stop first. Those plants are heterogeneous species bred by the ten thousand-year-old man-faced spider with poison, and they are all highly poisonous. By the way, you should wait for me to heal , I will go with you."

For poison, although Ling Xiao is not afraid, but Niu Dazhuang explained so carefully, and he was afraid that he would accidentally be poisoned, Ling Xiao is still very grateful: "Okay, thank you, Brother Niu. I have a task now." Leave it to you, I hope you can complete it for me immediately."

Niu Dazhuang was excited, he was worried that he would not be able to repay Ling Xiao for saving their whole team of brothers, but Ling Xiao asked him to do something immediately: "Brother Xiao, please tell me!"

"You take the body of the seven-tailed firefox to complete your task of ten red crystals first, and then go to Zoucheng for me to find a man named Zou Tiezhu." Ling Xiao said slowly: "If possible , give him the seven tails of the Firefox corpse, he will be very interested."

"That's all?" Niu Dazhuang was a little unbelievable, and this task was too simple.

Ling Xiao continued: "Of course, you still have to bring him a message, that is, his lord invited him to the Xihe Chamber of Commerce in Xihe City, and you can escort him to Xihe City."

Niu Dazhuang secretly sighed in his heart, what kind of mission is this for Ling Xiao, it is clearly to let them go back to Xihe City by way!

"After completing this task, Brother Niu, brothers, you don't owe me anything, just do what you have to do." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "I believe that we will meet again if we are destined."

Niu Dazhuang knew that Ling Xiao was just making him feel at ease, and he really wanted to go back to Xihe City, so he no longer refused Ling Xiao's kindness, and nodded: "Okay, then Brother Xiao and Brother Nangong, be careful."

"Yes, we are in a hurry, so we bid farewell here, and see you later." Ling Xiao cupped his hands at Niu Dazhuang, then turned and left with Nangong Yurong.

It wasn't until Niu Dazhuang and the others disappeared that Nangong Yurong showed a smile like a spring breeze: "In order to prevent Niu Dazhuang from taking risks with you, you dismissed him. Ling Xiao, I never thought that you, a big devil, could Treating people like this, if it spreads, no one will believe it."

Ling Xiao said indifferently: "It's other people's business what others think of me. I will naturally treat those who are pleasing to me. As for those who want to cheat me, they will definitely die ugly."

Nangong Yurong shook the fan in her hand, and stopped dwelling on this question: "Which way should we go first? Thousand-armed praying mantis or ten thousand-year-old human-faced spider?"

Without even thinking about it, Ling Xiao said, "Catch that thousand-armed mantis for you first. After you refine that mantis talisman, you will have a better chance of killing that ten-thousand-year-old human-faced spider."

Nangong Yurong smiled: "Okay, then go kill the thousand-armed praying mantis first."

The four continued on the road, and three days later, they arrived at their destination—the left wing of Locust Mountain.

In front of the four of them was a field of weeds growing as tall as a person. These weeds grow extremely weirdly, their heights are almost exactly the same, and they are very flat, obviously there are traces of external processing.

Ling Xiao jumped up lightly, suspended in mid-air, looking down from above. It is rare to have such a large piece of green weeds in a yellow locust mountain, which makes people look very comfortable.

However, when Ling Xiao failed to find the thousand-armed praying mantis, and walked with Nangong Yurong among the weeds where he could not see the front, his mood was not very good.

"Damn it, where is that bug?" Ling Xiao cursed bitterly while pulling the weeds.

Nangong Yurong put away her smile and focused her attention on her surroundings.

The thousand-armed mantis is a blue-level monster. If you fight it rashly without any preparation, you will die ugly in all likelihood.

Of course, Ling Xiao's curses are curses, his mental power has long been dispersed, and as long as there is any abnormality, he will find it immediately.

The four of them searched for a day and a night, and saw many small praying mantises attached to the weeds, but the thousand-armed mantises were nowhere to be seen.

In desperation, the four of them could only exit the weed pile first and set up a tent outside the weed pile to rest.

The next day, when the morning light was slightly exposed, Ling Xiao jumped out of the tent, staring at this large weed field with fascination.

Looking at it, Ling Xiao suddenly burst out laughing, the ugly laughter woke up Nangong Yurong and his two maids from their sleep.

"It's so early in the morning, why are you crazy here?" Nangong Yurong frowned, and yawned charmingly: "You know, lack of sleep is very harmful to the skin."

Ling Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to this guy who didn't look like a man, and said: "We are so stupid, we obviously have a good way, but we wasted a day for nothing."

"A good solution? What is the solution?" Nangong Yurong immediately regained her spirits when she heard that Ling Xiao had a solution.

"This piece of grass prevents us from seeing the road around us, and hinders us from moving forward. It is simple and direct, and it is set on fire!" Ling Xiao said viciously. After wandering around in the weeds for a day, Ling Xiao's resentment has not disappeared.

If Ling Xiao lived in a different world, his act of setting fire to mountains would be enough for him to stay in prison for decades, and then let the education of environmental protection organizations annoy him to death.

Fortunately, where Ling Xiao lives, setting fire to the mountain is not a big problem. Before Nangong Yurong had time to wake up from the sleepiness, Ling Xiao immediately let out the flames, burning the whole weed field into flames.

The buzzing sound mixed with the crackling and burning grass, and Ling Xiao added a lot of wind to such a large area of ​​flames. In just a few minutes, a raging fire burned a large area of ​​the weed pile.

Nangong Yurong stared dumbfounded at the fire, unable to speak for a long time. In order to find a thousand-armed mantis, he burned this mountain. If it was Nangong Yurong who had received a formal education, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

The flames continued to spread forward rapidly, seeing more and more scorched land ahead, Ling Xiao's eyes were fixed on the front, always ready to meet the enemy.

However, until the large piece of grass turned into a piece of scorched earth, the damn thousand-armed praying mantis did not appear, which made Ling Xiao doubt whether the information given to him by Niu Dazhuang was wrong.

At this moment, a large area of ​​scorched earth in front of them suddenly began to shake violently, and the strong vibration made Ling Xiao and the others feel their hearts all aroused at once.

"Some monster has appeared! Be careful!" Nangong Yurong tightly held a piece of blue-level talisman paper in her hand, and confessed to the two maids behind him solemnly.

As for Ling Xiao, who was smarter than anyone else, he had already held the iron broom in his hand, waiting for that monster to appear.

Rumble~~~ A large piece of ground in the middle of the scorched land quickly bulges, and the ground is pushed forward layer by layer, like a giant wolf on the seashore, with the rear wolf pushing the front wolf.

Then, in the middle of the scorched earth, a huge praying mantis slowly drilled out of the ground. This big praying mantis is green all over, and its countless feet are like sharp knives. It looks like it has a thousand arms.

The two long beards on the forehead of this big praying mantis swayed from side to side, and its big green and bulging eyes glared at Ling Xiao and the others viciously, full of murderous intent!
