Beast Summoner

"Hey! Wake up, wake up!" Li Zhenbang gently pushed the young mercenary's shoulder and shouted.

"Huh? Ah?" The young mercenary opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Li Zhenbang, he sat up.

"Are you too ambitious? I'm working my ass off in front, why are you still falling asleep here?" Li Zhenbang asked with a smile.

"Asleep? I shouldn't have fallen asleep. I feel like I was knocked unconscious!" the young mercenary said with some uncertainty.

"Knocked out? Impossible! If someone really knocked you out, how could you survive until now? You probably dreamed that someone hit you after you fell asleep." Li Zhenbang waved his hand in denial.

"After seeing so many beatings and killings, let alone dreaming about being beaten, it is also reasonable to dream about being chased. As long as people are fine, they are better than anything else." Li Zhenbang said with relief.

"Maybe!" The young mercenary scratched his head. Although he was still a little confused, what Li Zhenbang said was reasonable.

"By the way, did all those mercenaries really escape?" The young mercenary had some expectation in his eyes. What he hoped was that when he fell asleep, the mercenaries would come back to help instead of running away shamelessly.

.

Li Zhenbang could naturally see what the young mercenary was thinking, but he still shook his head realistically. He wanted to tell the young mercenary that there was a difference between reality and ideals, and that reality was cruel.

"They're all a bunch of bastards!" The young mercenary couldn't help but yell.

"Where are those men in black? How did you escape from them?" the young mercenary asked nervously.

"They seemed to have encountered something urgent, and then they all ran away. I guess the men in black who ran away before saw that they didn't follow them for so long, so they were anxious and called them away!" Li Zhenbang was not prepared to tell him.

The truth about the young mercenary, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such trouble to let Yueguang knock the young mercenary unconscious first.

"Then why didn't they kill you?" The young mercenary looked at Li Zhenbang doubtfully.

"Do you really want me to be killed?" Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows, "You can't bring me into the Holy City, Haolixi City, right?"

"How could I want you to be killed? You are my savior!" the young mercenary said excitedly.

"And I'm not lying to you. Although entering the Holy Capital Haolixi City cannot be said to be a matter of taking it easy, it is a certain degree of difficulty, but I will definitely find a way to help you enter the city!" The young mercenary's eyes were filled with excitement.

Confidence, obviously he is quite confident about entering the city.

Although Li Zhenbang has been to the Divine Blessing Alliance before, he is still very unfamiliar with the Divine Blessing Alliance, and he barely knows the direction. As for how to go, the young mercenaries lead the way.

Along the way, the young mercenary was like a curious baby, asking questions here and there. Li Zhenbang answered most of the questions with nonsense. Sometimes he really didn't know how to answer, so he simply chose silence.

However, along the way, Li Zhenbang got to know a little about the young mercenary. The young mercenary was from the Dog Clan and was called Gou Xiaobing. He could not become a high official after hearing his name and could only be a small soldier for the rest of his life.

Gou Xiaobing was born in a poor family. He is the eldest son of the family. He has grandparents and parents, four younger sisters and two younger brothers.

It is said that the children of the poor become the masters of their families early, and this is indeed true. After Gou Xiaobing became sensible, he began to help his family with farm work and take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Gou Xiaobing has no education, but he is willing to endure hardships. Although he has no interest in fighting and even hates it, in order to let his family live a good life, he worked tirelessly and eventually became a senior warrior and a mercenary.

soldiers.

Although he is just a new mercenary of a gang, his income is much better than doing farm work and odd jobs. However, he is not satisfied with this. He has his own goals. He must practice hard and become a black iron as soon as possible.

Warrior, when the time comes, he can join some large-scale mercenary groups and have a more stable income.

After knowing Gou Xiaobing's thoughts, Li Zhenbang felt very emotional. He felt a little sympathy for Gou Xiaobing's life experience, and was pleased that Gou Xiaobing did not give up on himself.

If Li Zhenbang was not born into the Red Maple Leaf family, but into an ordinary human family, if he was just an ordinary person, then he would most likely have followed the path of Gou Xiaobing. With his status as a Summoning Beast Mage, he

It is very likely that the journey will be more difficult than that of Gou Xiaobing.

Although there are not as many summoned beast mages in this world as there are warriors, they are definitely more than the number of serious magicians. However, most people are not as good as an ordinary person who works hard, and those who really make a name for themselves are

I can count them on one hand.

Most summoned beast mages live like clowns and can only become the laughingstock of others. For summoned beast mages who do not have a contracted summoned beast, every summon seems to be a gamble. Even they themselves do not know what they will summon.

thing.

Some underground casinos have even hired some summoning wizards to let others guess what they will summon. It is said that the odds are not small.

"Are we heading to Haolixi City?" Li Zhenbang asked with some confusion.

Although Li Zhenbang didn't know the road, he still had some sense of direction. Although Gou Xiaobing had been taking him through mountains and ridges, often taking sparsely populated paths, he could vaguely feel that the direction he was taking now was not to Haolixi City.

direction.

"Of course, I'm taking you on a small road now. It's not easy to walk, but it's fast! Didn't you always say you wanted to go faster?"

"And there must be a lot of men in black ambushing me on the road now. What if I encounter them again? There are still many people in my family waiting for me to go back. I don't want to die in such an unknown way!" Gou

Xiao Bing explained.

After listening to Gou Xiaobing's explanation, Li Zhenbang nodded. What Gou Xiaobing said made sense. Those men in black were intercepting the trucks heading for Haolixi City on the road, and he didn't want to run into them and cause trouble.

"Creak, creak, creak..." I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a strange sound in the distance. It sounded like something was crushing dead branches and leaves.

Li Zhenbang and Gou Xiaobing looked at each other, stopped in a hurry, ducked down, and hid behind a big tree nearby.

After a while, I saw a dozen people hurriedly passing by in the distance, and the crunching sound was made by them stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people?" Li Zhenbang asked softly.

I didn't see a single person along the way, and suddenly I saw a dozen or so people at once. It was inevitable that everyone would be a little bit murmuring. What's more, these people were walking in a hurry, everyone was nervous, and they didn't look like they were just on their way.

of.

"I don't know either. There should be very few people who know this kind of road. How come there are so many people rushing from here!" Gou Xiaobing frowned and shook his head slightly, looking equally confused.

"Then what should we do? Should we follow them secretly, or join them directly? If nothing else, they should be heading for Haolixi City!" Gou Xiaobing watched carefully for a while, and then asked Li Zhenbang softly.

.

"Join them? Stop joking! Believe it or not, if you go out and are discovered by them now, not only will they not listen to your explanation, but they will chop you into pieces as soon as possible!" Li Zhenbang shook his head and rejected Gou Xiaobing.

suggestions.

"Why? We were also on our way, but we just happened to meet each other. Why should they attack us? Could it be that they are bandits?" Gou Xiaobing's eyes widened. He was frightened by his own guess.

In his eyes, there is no essential difference between bandits and men in black. They are both unreasonable and terrifying guys who kill and steal goods.

"They are not bandits, but if we show up so rashly, they might think of us as bandits." Li Zhenbang raised his eyebrows.

"Can't you?" Gou Xiaobing looked at Li Zhenbang in confusion.

As soon as Gou Xiaobing finished speaking, there was a sudden noise in the grass near those people, and then he saw four people instantly shooting their crossbow arrows in the direction of the grass.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a rabbit with a crossbow arrow stuck in its leg, and then it limped towards the distance.

When those people saw that it was a rabbit in the grass, they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. As for the injured rabbit, no one paid attention to it and continued to walk forward.

Gou Xiaobing swallowed hard and secretly felt lucky that he was stopped, otherwise the crossbow arrow would have hit him.

"You...how did you know?" Gou Xiaobing asked nervously.

"There are clearly a lot of them, but they choose to take this uninhabited and rugged path. Look at them, they are all walking in a hurry, with nervous faces. Everyone's nerves are tense and they are always paying attention to their surroundings.

.Looking at their moving speed, it is obvious that they know this area well."

"You chose to go here because it's close, and because it's safe here. They are familiar with this road, and they must also know that it is safe, but they are still so nervous. This can only mean that they have something ulterior.

It’s a secret, or you’re hiding from something.”

"No matter what the reason is, as long as you go out and let them see you, you will definitely not be greeted with a warm greeting, but a life-threatening attack, just like the rabbit that suddenly appeared just now." Li Zhenbang explained patiently.

.

"So that's it! I didn't expect that you could find so many problems from these details just by looking at it a few times. You are really not simple!" Gou Xiaobing said sincerely.

"This is nothing, there are many things I am not simple about!" Li Zhenbang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled proudly.

"Where are you in a hurry?" Just when Li Zhenbang was about to continue bragging, a voice suddenly echoed in the forest...
