After talking on the road, Qin Ze learned that Niu Zhida and the other four belonged to the same mercenary team. They were usually responsible for the escort of the caravan from Jiangcheng to the northern border.

Their team originally had six people.

On the way back from the northern border last time, the other two were injured and were now recuperating in the city. It would take at least a month to recover.

For mercenaries who live on the edge of a knife, time is money.

However, they were not enough and could not continue to be responsible for the escort of the caravan.

It happened that the abyss rift appeared outside Jiangcheng at this time.

Anyway, they were idle, so the four of them decided to go out of the city to hunt monsters.

The strongest monster released by the abyss rift this time was only E-level, and at most the strength of the peak of the second level.

The four of them could handle it.

However, in order to reduce the casualties of warriors, the City Defense Bureau stipulated that a team of five people must be formed to leave the city.

There was no other way, Niu Zhida could only go to the city gate to pull people.

As luck would have it, Qin Ze was pulled here.

The rift was more than 40 kilometers north of the city.

A few hundred meters away, Qin Ze saw the black space rift.

The crack was five meters high, as if it was chopped out by someone with an axe.

Ripples continued to appear in the surrounding space, like a pool of water with stones thrown into it, spreading outward layer by layer.

There were about twenty warriors nearby, and only three of them were wearing the uniforms of the City Defense Department.

Everyone gathered together leisurely in groups of three or four, either resting or chatting, and there was no battlefield atmosphere at all.

Qin Ze thought the scene would be a fierce battle, but he never thought it would be like an outing.

All that was missing was a tablecloth on the ground.

Niu Zhida whistled.

"Looks like we're lucky."

"The alien beasts haven't been released yet."

The baby-faced man said happily,"Anyway, we charge by the hour, and we can go back after guarding the rift for ten hours."

"It's best not to release any exotic beasts during this period."

The thin dog and the bald knife man nodded.

It's good to be able to receive the minimum living allowance safely.

No matter how much money you make, you have to live to spend it.

Qin Ze suddenly realized.

It turns out that the cracks don't always have exotic beasts coming out.

"There aren't many exotic beasts, so why does the City Defense Department need to recruit extra warriors?" Qin Ze was puzzled.

Niu Zhidao said,"Brother Lin should not be a native of Jiangcheng, right?"

Qin Ze nodded and said,"I am here to travel."

"No wonder." Niu Zhida explained:"Jiangcheng is just a remote small town."

"The city defense department of the whole city only has about 300 to 400 people."

"On weekdays, they not only need to stand guard, but also patrol the field to see if there are any new cracks. There is almost no extra manpower."

"This time the abyss tide is approaching, and three cracks appear outside the city."

"The City Defense Department doesn't have many people to begin with, and now they are even more overwhelmed, so they can only recruit people."

Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.

Three cracks?

That's not what the news said.

In order not to cause panic, the news seemed to conceal part of the truth from ordinary people.

From the calm look on Niu Zhida's face, Qin Ze estimated that the crisis this time was not very serious.

"When will the crack close?"

Niu Zhida replied:"It may take a few days or a few weeks."

"If you ask me, the later the closure time is, the better. Otherwise, how can we make money?"

In the eyes of these professional mercenaries, guarding the rift is the task with the lowest risk and the highest return.

The rift can only release two exotic beasts at a time.

There are at least 20 warriors guarding outside, and one person can kill it with a sword.

And most of the time, the rift will not release exotic beasts.

There are even some rifts from the time they appear to the time they disappear, and no exotic beasts have been released.

It is equivalent to picking up money for nothing.

After arriving near the rift, Qin Ze and others went to the city defense office to sign in first, and then started counting.

There were a total of four teams on the scene, including Qin Ze and his team.

One team was responsible for one direction.

Qin Ze and his team were arranged to the east by the city defense office.

After arriving at the defense position, Niu Zhi cursed loudly.

"Damn it, they bully us because we are not locals."

Qin Ze was confused.

Is there any particular defensive position?

Niu Zhida saw the confusion in Qin Ze's eyes and explained:"We are facing the crack in this direction."

"After the alien beasts were released, we were the first to rush"

"I hate people with connections the most!"

The knife man snorted coldly:"Just now you had to stop me, otherwise I would have asked that bastard from the City Defense Department to move us to another place."

The baby-faced man consoled him:"Okay, okay, don't make trouble"

"It's just guarding the rift, not facing the tide directly, it's the same everywhere."

The five of them sat on the ground, and a morning passed.

During this time, no exotic beasts were released into the rift, and Qin Ze yawned out of boredom.

Niu Zhida came to Qin Ze and asked,"Brother Lin should be from a martial arts family and go out for training, right?"

Qin Ze remained calm:"Why do you say that?"

Niu Zhida chuckled and said,"I find that you don't know much about some common sense things. Only those children of families who have been well protected since childhood are like this."

There was one more thing Niu Zhida didn't say.

Qin Ze was too young.

A first-level peak warrior in his twenties could never be a casual warrior without resource support.

Qin Ze's face was replaced by someone randomly found on the street.

Hearing what Niu Zhida said, he just smiled and didn't explain.

The others also took it as his tacit agreement

""Stand far away and don't cause trouble for us when the alien beasts are released soon." Xigou said in a deep voice.

He has always looked down on those children of families who were born with a golden key.

All their cultivation is piled up with resources.

They have never seen blood.

Such people, no matter how high their cultivation is, will definitely be in a mess when facing alien beasts.

Powerful enemies are not scary, the scariest thing is teammates who are like pigs.

Qin Ze didn't take Xigou's contempt to heart, and he was too lazy to explain. Baby- faced man tried to smooth things over:"He has always been outspoken, don't mind."

At this moment, the space around the rift fluctuated violently.

Niu Zhida's face changed.

""Prepare for battle, the alien beasts are being deployed."

Qin Ze looked at the crack curiously.

This was the first time he saw an alien beast descend.

The space plane where the crack was located was like a mirror on the verge of breaking, with ripples and cracks intertwined with each other.

After a few breaths, a thick black claw stretched out from the crack.

Bang!

The claw stomped heavily on the ground, and dust flew up.

Then, the second front claw

"Roar——"

With a deafening roar, the beast revealed its true form.

It was a lizard-like beast, covered with black scales and with a single horn on its head.

As Niu Zhida had said, the moment the beast appeared, it rushed towards Qin Ze and the others.

"It seems that our luck is still good."

"Just an F-class monster"

""Go ahead."

Niu Zhida gave an order, and Xigou and the other two immediately started moving.
