Pope System of Rebirth

Today's batch of mercenaries can be regarded as the last batch. Together with the remaining mercenaries from the previous three mercenary groups, the total number reaches 70.

The combined number of the previous three mercenary groups was approximately 90, but unfortunately they now suffered heavy casualties.

According to statistics, the number of wild beasts that appeared in the first attack was less than 900, but the number of wild beasts that appeared in the second attack was close to 1,000. The field of vision was full of wild beasts, which was extremely shocking. That impact was really a nightmare.

The three mercenary groups tried their best to kill nearly 600 people.

The third attack was originally expected two days ago, and the number should be around 400, but the group of beasts has not yet been seen.

Even yesterday, when the longest buffer period of three days had expired, the mercenaries and townspeople were ready for a desperate fight, but still no group of wild beasts appeared.

Regarding this point, everyone felt extremely strange and couldn't figure it out, but they didn't dare to be careless at all and were careful and vigilant all day long, especially tonight.

Soon, everyone arrived at the hotel, where almost all the mercenaries were staying.

Lanceli gathered everyone in the hall and introduced the newcomers so that everyone could get familiar with each other for future battles.

The most important thing in collective fighting is cooperation. If these people don't know each other at all and are like a ball of loose sand, then the battle with the wild beasts will be defeated.

Therefore, Lanceli became the person in charge, allowing everyone to get to know each other, become familiar with each other, and achieve the best cooperation during the battle.

Everyone has doubts about Qin Lang. After all, he is too young, and knowing from the mercenary manual that this is his first mission is really unsettling. They have great doubts about his strength.

Night falls quietly.

After a brief acquaintance, everyone was assigned to various places to defend themselves.

Qin Lang was left in the hotel as a backup.

Sangluo Town was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Women, children and the elderly were gathered in a sturdy house. All the young and middle-aged people in the town picked up hoes, sickles, broadswords, hammers and other weapons as weapons, and followed the mercenaries.

They guard the edge of the town.

Time passed little by little, and there was silence outside the town, and it was also filled with silence inside the town.

I don’t know how long it took. People’s hearts gradually dropped. They thought that the wild beasts would not appear tonight.

But suddenly there was a loud howl from the west side of the town, piercing the night sky and breaking the silence. The howl was filled with coldness, which made everyone excited and cheered up.

Qin Lang, who was sitting cross-legged in the hotel, opened his eyes when he heard the wolf howling.

"Coming."

He glanced at Qin Xiaocang, who was not far away, and saw that he had no reaction at all. He ignored him and rushed to the hotel to gather with the people who stayed behind.

Lanceli also stayed here. As the person in charge, he needed to lead everyone and command everyone to resist this attack.

They have been waiting for four days and have been fully prepared. This time, Lanceli believes that he will be able to withstand the attack well, and if the situation allows, they will take the initiative to drive the wild beasts back to their habitat.

.

There were only ten people left. Lanceli looked at everyone with a solemn expression and said: "Granner, take three people and rush to the west for support. Aaron, Xiaoma, you hurry up and notify the people in other places.

Be ready to go to the west to support us at any time."

"yes."

The three people whose names were called by Lanceli all responded. The one named Alon was a tall and thin man. He was a martial artist and taciturn.

The other pony is a young man in his twenties, who can be said to be second only to Qin Lang among these mercenaries. He is also a martial artist, but his hair is yellow like Lanceli, but his eyes are

But it appears blue.

Not only are these two martial arts cultivators, but they are both good at speed.

As soon as Lanceli's order was given, the two of them left quickly.

Granner is a burly man with a shiny bald head. He is also a martial artist. His weapon is a big hammer with amazing destructive power.

He quickly headed west with three mercenaries.

At this point, there are only four people left. Except for Qin Lang and Lanceli, one of the other two is a woman, the only woman among the mercenaries this time. She is nearly thirty years old and is a spiritual master. The other one is a woman.

His name was Gao Shi, and he was a peak swordsman. He licked his lower lip, with a bloodthirsty look on his face.

Lanceli glanced at the three people in front of him and frowned. One was the youngest, one was the only woman, and the last one was a bloodthirsty maniac. These three were the most troublesome to him among all the mercenaries this time.

So I was left at the end, not knowing how to dispatch.

"Lance, the beasts are coming, why don't you let me go?" the man named Gao Shi suddenly asked.

"It's not the time yet. This wolf howl does not represent the entire group of beasts. There may be another group attacking from other directions. Then you will be needed to support them."

"Hmph, okay, I'll wait a little longer. If there are no attacks from other directions after an hour, I will go to the west."

Lanceli didn't talk to him or look at him anymore. He looked towards the west of the town with a nervous expression and secretly prayed in his heart, "I hope nothing will happen. This time, I must resist it, fight out, and drive them back."

.”

"Hey, it would be great if Brother A Guo was here. With his strength, these beasts are not a threat at all. Unfortunately, he has been gone for several years without any news. I wonder if he has learned about this and whether he can come back.

"Lanceli sighed in his heart, looking forward to someone's return.

But at this moment, Gao Tie looked at Qin Lang and the woman and suddenly sneered, and said in a low voice: "Jie Jie, a little baby and a little girl are here to be mercenaries. You really don't know how to live or die."

.”

Hearing this, the woman who had closed her eyes to relax suddenly opened her eyes and glared away, a murderous aura flashing out.

This woman's name is Youruo. Although she is nearly thirty years old, she is well-maintained and looks only twenty years old. However, there is a striking scar on the back of her left hand and a sudden murderous look in her eyes.

I have been a mercenary for a while and have experienced life and death crises.

Seeing this scene, Lanceli's eyes lit up and he felt relieved about Youruo. However, he was even more troubled by the high-shirt.

"Hey, that's interesting." Not only was the high-shirt unafraid, but he sneered again and licked his lower lips.

"That's enough! The war is about to begin, so don't engage in internal strife." Lanceli spoke at the right time. A strong aura filled the air, and a faint red color emanated from his body, which shocked the high-shirted and

Youruo.

"Peak spiritual master? No, it's a half-step spiritual master!" Gao Shi's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and he snorted coldly. He turned around and retreated.

Half-step Lingkui means that he no longer belongs to the category of spiritual master and is in the stage of absorbing elements, but the amount of elements is not enough to reach the first level of Lingkui.

Generally, such people are in seclusion, working hard to break through and become real spiritual leaders. They rarely travel, and even perform mercenary missions.

Qin Lang has been watching all this indifferently. He has not spoken a word, because he is constantly suppressing the tension rising in his heart, and constantly adjusting his state to achieve the best.

After all, this is his first mission, and he will face a large group of terrifying beasts.

Although I had been hunting wild beasts in the forest outside Kunluo City in the past and had faced herds of wild beasts, it was completely incomparable to the situation I was about to face now.

The group of wild beasts that appear in the forest usually consists of several or more than a dozen animals, and at most there are dozens of wild beasts appearing together. But this time, it is said that more than 400 wild beasts will appear at the same time. And when encountering groups of wild beasts in the past,

You can escape if you are defeated, but your current task is to resist the attack and even drive them back to their habitat.

The gap between the two is obvious, and this is a life-and-death struggle.

However, mercenaries are a profession that hovers between life and death. As long as you take this step, you must be prepared to die at any time.

After a while, shouts of killing came from the west, and a burst of fire shot up, lighting up the night sky.

Fire is the most effective weapon against wild beasts, so a lot of fire, rockets and the like were prepared beforehand.

"The battle has been completed. I wonder if they are all there." Lanceli looked at the fire and fell into deep thought.

Not long after, Xiao Ma and Alon came back.

"Alon, you go to the west to check the situation and come back to me in time. Xiaoma, you go to a few other places and come back and tell me if there are any changes. Thank you for your hard work." Lanceli gave the order again.

Before Aaron and Xiao Ma could take a good rest, they hurriedly took a drink of water and left again.

The battle in the west seemed to be getting more and more intense, with blazing fire and constant noise.

"Oh no, nearly three hundred wild beasts appeared in the west, including several black panthers and white tigers. The situation is not good." After a while, Aaron ran back in a panic.

Hearing this, Lanceli frowned and thought to himself: "Three hundred... It's about a hundred less than expected. They should have taken separate actions. Using the manpower from the west, plus Granner and the others, they will send some

The troops in the south and north should be able to stabilize the situation."

Immediately, he looked at Gao Shi and You Ruo and said, "You two go there quickly to provide support and deal with the black panthers and white tigers first."

"Haha, I should have gone a long time ago." Gao Shichang smiled and took a step forward, without waiting for Youruo, and left alone.

You Ruo opened her eyes, her eyes flickered, and she walked towards the west without talking nonsense.

"Alon, you go and notify the southern and northern guards, and send half of each to immediately support the west." Lanceli said again.

"Okay." Aaron was about to leave when he saw the pony running towards him in a hurry.

"Dong, about two hundred beasts appeared in the east... the situation is critical." Pony panted.

"What!" Lance's expression changed drastically, "There are already nearly three hundred wild beasts in the west, how can there be nearly two hundred wild beasts there. After the last battle, there should only be about four hundred left."

Lanceli was extremely confused, but now he had no time to think about it. He immediately told Alon and Xiao Ma: "You two go to the south and north respectively, and ask them to leave three mercenaries and a small number of people behind, and the rest

Half of the troops will go to the east and half to the west. Hurry!"

"Yes!" Aaron and Xiao Ma left with gloomy faces.

Only Qin Lang and Lanceli were left present.

"Qin Lang, follow me to the east for support." Lanceli frowned and said to Qin Lang.

"Yes." Qin Lang nodded silently and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

The two stopped talking nonsense and immediately started walking towards the east.

"Qin Lang, the situation is critical. I'll go over there first, and you should come here quickly." Lanceli said this as soon as he walked forward for a while. As soon as he finished speaking, his speed suddenly increased.

The sudden crisis in the east made him uneasy and felt bad. He wanted to rush there as soon as possible, so he ignored Qin Lang and started at full speed.

However, Qin Lang is not as useless as he thought. He is also a peak swordsman and a peak spiritual master, and his strength far exceeds those of the same level.

He remained silent, suddenly accelerated, and followed closely behind Lanceli, like a shadow.

Lanceli seemed to have found out something. When he looked back, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was pleasantly surprised, "It seems that I underestimated him. I hope he is not only fast."

The two of them ran with all their strength in silence, heading towards the east of Sangluo Town.

Soon, bursts of flames were seen rising into the sky, and screams continued to be heard.

"Faster." Lance looked anxious, and the spiritual power in his body was running rapidly. He was running at super speed.

When Qin Lang saw this, he also used his spiritual power, gathered his feet, and ran away.

The two moved extremely fast, turning into two phantoms that flashed past, and in a blink of an eye they were approaching the place of battle.

I saw a row of newly built earth walls there, surrounded by hundreds of wild animals, including wild wolves, wild boars, apes, poisonous snakes, foxes, etc., and even a few black panthers and white tigers wandering there.

"It seems that the types of beasts that appear here are similar to those in the west. Black panthers, white tigers, and higher-level beasts are equivalent to high-level swordsmen or even peak swordsmen. Although they appeared last time, the number was far less than now. Why

There are more and more wild beasts every time, which is strange!" Lanceli looked at the group of wild beasts and frowned more tightly. Qin Lang stared at the wild beasts that were constantly attacking not far away, as well as the mercenaries and town guards who fought desperately with them.

People, a fighting spirit is ignited in their hearts.

"Let's go!" Lanceli roared, jumped up, and fired a sharp arrow transformed from spiritual power towards a place surrounded by poisonous snakes.

"Bang!"

The spiritual arrow exploded with a bang, and a large group of poisonous snakes was blown to pieces.

Qin Lang also arrived, and the Soul Crying Sword came out fiercely, cutting off the head of a fox with one sword.

"Deputy Captain!"

"Lancery!"

"Brothers, resist!"

"Kill! Kill these beasts!"

"Brother Lan is here, everyone come on board!"

With the appearance of Lanceli, everyone's fighting spirit was immediately aroused. They shouted in unison and fought with the beasts rushing from the opposite side.

The townspeople also had high morale, and formed groups of ten to resist the attacks of wild beasts.

Lanceli is the person in charge of this mission and the spiritual symbol of everyone. He rushed to the front as soon as he arrived. The half-step Lingkui's strength was fully displayed. He used his spiritual skills one by one and harvested every time.

The lives of a pack of beasts.

Qin Lang looked at the hundreds of wild beasts without showing any timidity. He rushed forward and used his spiritual power to activate the Soul Crying Sword. He actually showed a level of cultivation that was higher than that of a swordsman. In the blink of an eye, there were a bunch of beasts at his feet.

Corpse.

Qin Lang's performance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the mercenaries were even more surprised. They had initially deceived him as a young man and were extremely suspicious, but now they were all stunned.

In their eyes, he is no longer a young man, but a reliable mercenary who can fight alongside them.

A trace of surprise and relief flashed in Lanceli's eyes. He felt relieved and formed two sharp knives with Qin Lang to fight at the forefront.

The mercenaries were aroused by the two of them, and they fought with all their might. Some of them even rushed out with shouts and kept slashing.

At this moment, reinforcements arrived, with more than a dozen mercenaries and dozens of townspeople rushing over.

"Brothers, kill!"

"Folks, protect your home and stop wild beasts!"

Everyone rushed over shouting and joining the battle.

For a time, the battle became more fierce and fierce.

Dozens of wild apes beat their chests and roared, attacking in groups and charging wildly, and no one could stop them.

Qin Lang's eyes turned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stared at this group of wild apes.

With a wave of his left hand, he knocked away several venomous snakes that were coming towards him, then stepped forward towards the group of wild apes.

In front of the group of wild apes were two mercenaries and many townspeople. They rushed out without fear of death, trying to stop and kill the wild apes.

"roar!"

The apes roared and rushed forward, dozens of tall apes punching together, the momentum was terrifying.

The expressions of the two mercenaries opposite changed drastically. They were both martial arts cultivators, and they raised their weapons to resist.

"bump!"

A terrible impact was immediately heard, and the two men took several steps back and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, the townspeople had already rushed forward, equipped with all kinds of tools, and they all roared and smashed at the apes.

However, these savage apes are thick-skinned and extremely strong, so how can they be dealt with by ordinary people?

I saw those wild apes going crazy, waving their arms wildly, and repelling the townspeople one after another, falling to the ground.

Some of the unlucky ones had their hands and feet broken, and some even had their heads blown off.

This bloody aspect was all seen in the eyes of Qin Lang who came over. Suddenly his face turned pale, and he felt sick and sad in his heart.

His living life was taken away by a bunch of beasts right in front of his eyes, which made the young man feel uneasy, fearful, and even more filled with hatred and anger.

"Damn beast!"

"Lao Wu!"

"Kill them and avenge Lao Wu!"

The townspeople roared angrily and charged forward again, and the two mercenaries followed closely, enduring the pain.

Their shouts woke up Qin Lang. He bit his lower lip to drive away the fear in his heart, suppressed his nausea, held the sword in his hand tighter, and stared at the apes as they ran away.

"die!"

Qin Lang uttered a word heavily and slashed with his sword, only to see a wild ape fall down wailing.

With no time to rest, Qin Lang moved and slashed with his sword, causing another ape to fall down.

Seeing Qin Lang's arrival and his strong strength, the confidence of the two mercenaries and the townspeople increased and they became more courageous.

These savage apes are not only resistant to fighting and strong, but also agile and extremely difficult to deal with.

Qin Lang continued to use the "Seven Star Steps", with his spiritual power fully activated, and he almost used all his strength to kill nearly twenty wild apes.

With the cooperation of the two mercenaries, they also killed more than ten apes. The townspeople were also extremely brave, regardless of life and death, and killed six apes with nearly half of them dead and injured. At this moment, only ten were left.

Quite ape.

"Nine-turn Tianluo Slash - second turn!" Qin Lang shouted in his heart, turned his body, turned once and then again, using the power of the two turns to swing his sword to slash, an endless sword shadow appeared at dusk, and the remaining sword shadows appeared.

All ten apes were enveloped.

"boom!"

A terrifying loud noise was heard, a cloud of blood mist filled the air, and all ten apes died under this sword.

However, Qin Lang also felt very uncomfortable. This blow consumed a lot of his physical strength. The spiritual energy in his body was also consumed a lot in this battle, and his body began to become weak.

There are fewer and fewer people around who can still fight, but at a glance, there are still more than a hundred beasts in the group.

"Damn it, is this the power of a swarm of beasts? Hundreds of beasts attack together, who can resist it!?" Qin Lang sighed inwardly, "What would happen if there were thousands of beasts?"

Thinking of that scene, Qin Lang turned pale and did not dare to think about it any more. He concentrated on facing the crisis in front of him.

Lanceli rushed to the front, entangled with several black panthers.

The black panther is famous for its speed. It is difficult for ordinary spiritual masters and swordsmen to catch up with it. Moreover, the black panther is very powerful. Its sharp claws are deadly weapons.

But here, in addition to these black panthers, there are also six extremely terrifying white tigers.

The white tiger is not as fast as the black panther, but its power is far greater and the danger level is slightly higher.

Leopards and tigers have always been the best among wild beasts, and their strength is at least equivalent to that of high-level swordsmen. Among spiritual beasts, the level of such spiritual beasts is often not low.

At this moment, the six white tigers moved separately, just like tigers entering a flock of sheep, carrying out a terrifying hunt, and many townspeople had already become their prey.

"Stop those six beasts!"

"Damn it, kill them!"

Several mercenaries surrounded the six white tigers with red eyes. These people are not weak in strength, but unfortunately their physical strength has been severely depleted, and the outcome is unpredictable. (To be continued...)
