Genius Demon Empress

The rookie mercenary team actually completed their first mercenary mission.

In less than two days, Yue Jinghua and Zach successfully collected one hundred poisonous scorpion needles.

The gamble at the tavern with odds as high as one to ten ended in the end with Johnny and the others losing everything.

Locke and Yue Jinghua's first mission was miraculously completed. Moreover, not to mention the damage to personnel during the entire mission, even the equipment of the two people was unscathed.

After the successful completion of the poisonous bee scorpion mission, in just one month, the rookie mercenary squad formed by the rookies Yue Jinghua and Zac rose at an astonishing speed, and quickly established itself in Shaq mercenary town. Started the name.

On the twenty-eighth day of the month, Yue Jinghua finally successfully completed the assessment of a one-star mercenary, and was promoted to become a two-star mercenary.

After getting a brand new two-star badge from the Shaq Mercenary Union, Yue Jinghua counted the time, and it was almost time to return to Poluo City.

Before leaving Polo, she wanted to say goodbye to Zac and his little sister, the lovely Zalia, one last time.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, in the past 20 days, Yue Jinghua has established a deep relationship with Zach and his sister.

When he came to the stone house of Zac's house, Zach hadn't come back yet. After a month of team missions, Zach has accumulated a certain amount of experience and money. He has started to accept mercenary missions independently, and he has to start making some mercenary friends one after another. This made Yue Jinghua very pleased.

When Zalia heard that Yue Jinghua was leaving, she reluctantly dragged her into her house.

Zach's home is very simple, except for the tables and chairs used by the brother and sister for daily life, there are only bare walls and an incense table for Zac's parents' tablets.

Zarya made a cup of tea for Yue Jinghua, chirping like a little sparrow, asking about Poluo City and the outside world from time to time.

"Liya, since you want to go out so much, why don't you just leave Sabah town with your brother, the outside world is much more interesting than Sabah town," Yue Jinghua teased, after Zaria, she shook her head, " No, my brother said it, this is our root, we cannot leave the small town of Sabah.

Zac's parents died in a strange sandstorm in the Tak Desert ten years ago. The brothers and sisters didn't even find their parents' bones, they could only enshrine their parents' clothes.

For this reason, Zach has always been brooding. He has always wanted to go deep into the depths of the Tucker Desert to find the secret of his parents' death.

"Jinghua, you're here," Zac's cheerful voice came from outside, holding a bag of food and a small bucket of bitter ale in his hand.

Yue Jinghua noticed that Zac today was a little different from usual, with a big guy wrapped in white cloth behind him.

From the shape, Yue Jinghua could tell that it was a big sword with a thick blade.

On the Canglong Continent, there are quite a few basalt warriors who use swords, but not many who can use big swords. Wielding a big sword requires far more strength than ordinary swords. The lethality of the big sword is astonishing, but the sensitivity is not high, and it requires extremely high physical fitness of the big swordsman.

And the big sword on Zac's back is different from ordinary big swords. It is very short and only hangs down to Zac's waist. With such a short sword, compared to Zac's tall and thin figure, it looked ridiculous.

"This sword was left by my father. He found it in the ruins deep in the desert when he crossed the Tak Desert for the last time." Zac noticed Yue Jinghua's gaze.

"This is a broken sword, not suitable for use in combat," Yue Jinghua said.

"Yes, it looked like this when I picked it up. It looks tattered, but because it was left by my father, it has a special meaning. The blacksmith in the town can't repair this sword. I plan to carry it on my back. Go to the city of Babel on the other side of the desert and find someone to try it out."

"Brother, stop talking about this. Sister Jinghua said she was leaving," Zalia said sadly. She also knew that it was because of Yue Jinghua that her and her brother's life improved.

The smile on Zach's face disappeared.

He was silent, looked at Yue Jinghua for a moment, and suddenly laughed again, "Leave? That's right, you said that you only stay in Sabah town for a month. When you come, buy me a drink, go When the time comes, I will invite you to drink as a practice."

The place where Zac invited Yue Jinghua to drink was the "Coconut Shell" tavern where the two drank for the first time.

The place is the same, and the people are the same, but today Zach looks a little sullen, saying that he invited Yue Jinghua to drink, but he is the only one drinking silently.

"It's a pity, I originally planned to go on a mission with you this time," Zac said after drinking a whole two barrels of bitter ale.

After watching Yue Jinghua leave, Zach drank in silence.

"Zach, why don't you keep her? Although the girl is not attractive, she can make a living," the bearded Wharton who led Zac to participate in the next role came over.

"The goshawk will fly into the sky eventually, and the horse will have to run across the grasslands. She doesn't belong here," Zach touched his mouth, swallowed the bitterness into his stomach, and forced a smile: "Uncle, what eyes do you have, she."

Although Yue Jinghua never mentioned her identity, but from her words, Zach can be sure that her background will not be simple.

She is like a gust of wind that soars across the Tucker Desert by chance, can circle and turn, but will not stop.

The wind left, but the sand waited silently in place.

The wind howled across the desert, and the sandstorm came one after another.

As long as he reached the location of the square profound formation, Yue Jinghua would be able to return to Boluo City.

After bidding farewell to the Zac brothers and sisters, before leaving the town, Yue Jinghua looked back at the small town of Sabah for the last time.

On the other side of the town, in the direction of the Tucker Desert, there was a faint patch of red, like a piece of charcoal suddenly ignited.

The rich knowledge of geography and climate in her previous life made Yue Jinghua realize that a big storm was coming in the depths of the Tucker Desert.

I remembered the caravan escorted by Zac. At this time, it should have entered the Tak Gobi.

"It was Uncle Wharton who led Zac to complete the role this time. He is an experienced old mercenary, and he should have been prepared for this storm." To teleport to Poluo City, it takes four teleportations. If you miss this one, you have to wait five days before returning to Poluo City.

While comforting herself, Yue Jinghua observed the changes in the sky over Tak Gobi.

"If you don't stop, you will suffer from it," Yue Jinghua laughed at himself, and continued to walk forward.

In the vast Gobi Desert, the continuous wind and sand seems to have been blowing for centuries, never stopping.

Several star-sized people formed a line, which was a desert team composed of several mercenaries and a caravan camel horse.

After leaving the small town of Sabah, Zac and the others walked along the mercenary road to the depths of the Gobi.

As we go deeper into the Tucker Desert, the rare green leafy plants gradually disappear, and the Gobi rocky beach shows signs of desertification.

The heat wave penetrated the ground, drying the sweat from the people, and a layer of salt frost like dander formed on the skin.

"What the hell is the weather, it's already autumn, and it's still as hot as a stove," muttered a young mercenary who participated in this mercenary mission with Zac and others.

The old mercenary, Uncle Wharton, raised his head, and a hint of worry drifted imperceptibly between his brows.

He looked up at the red sky, the unusual red, like a beast with its mouth open, gradually engulfing the entire Gobi. Even the wind in the desert gradually stopped whistling.

"It's a little unusual, everyone be on guard," Wharton reminded loudly.

"Uncle Wharton, there is no way ahead." Not long after Wharton issued a warning, the road ahead of the Mercenary Avenue disappeared.

In front is a piece of Gobi rocky mountains with no sense of direction at all. At a glance, the top of the mountain cannot be seen.

"How come there are mountains? I remember that the Tak Gobi is a plain, and there are no mountains here," the caravan owner stopped the camel caravan.

"Su Luo, go up and have a look," Wharton ordered an agile young mercenary in the mercenary team, and ordered him to climb up the Gobi Mountain to have a look.

The young mercenary went up the mountain. Everyone didn't notice that not long after the young mercenary left, a gap appeared in the sky, and then quickly disappeared, like a clam's mouth suddenly opened, and then closed.

Time is like the quicksand of an hourglass, it never returns, and the young mercenary never returns.

Uncle Wharton became uneasy, "Let's go up together." The caravan and the remaining four mercenaries went up the Gobi Mountain.

The mountain became steeper and steeper, and the feeling of stuffiness gradually disappeared.

The barren desert is gradually turning green.

At the end of the desolation, it is a fairyland outside the world.

Birds of Paradise dragging colorful feathers are circling in the sky, peonies and peonies are blooming everywhere, white jade fountains spray fine wine and wine, golden steps are bright, and ivory-carved corridor pillars.

In the direction of the setting sun, amidst the vast rays of light, a sun palace that seemed to be filled with sunlight appeared in front of it.

"It's the Temple of the Sun, the legendary temple," the merchants in the caravan jumped off their camels one after another, and the mercenaries couldn't help running towards the palace.

Zac was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The Temple of the Sun is a palace that is said to have countless treasures and countless wealth. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, before death and desolation swept the continent, there was a mighty kingdom in the desert.

But overnight, the kingdom suddenly disappeared. The legendary temple was also in ruins.

Such a legend, almost every child in a small town in Sabah has heard it from their parents.

Hearing the cheers from the partners in front of him, Zach's heart moved slightly. If he also had all these, maybe he could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Zach took a step forward, and suddenly, he felt a slight tremor in his back.

It was the big sword left by his father, Zach's heart moved.

He took off the big sword on his shoulder and untied the white cloth on it.

The rusty sword body changed, the layer of rust like thick paint came alive, like a heart wrapped in countless capillaries, and the sword body let out a heavy breathing sound.

Bursts of sword chant like magic songs came from the sword.

When he heard the chanting, Zach only felt a rumble in his head, like lightning and thunder, and his mind suddenly woke up.

When he looked up at the temple in front of him again, Zach only felt the blood rushing into his head.
