Working Prophet

In the swamp at night, the bloody smell from the corpses would quickly attract all the poisonous insects and wild beasts nearby, so after killing the people, Jude called everyone up and continued on his way.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground and the expressionless Jude, the mercenaries had different expressions.

Although Jude did not explain what just happened, but based on what happened during the day, everyone could easily figure out that the little mercenary and his partner had a grudge after being humiliated, and wanted to sneak up on Jude while he was sleeping. He wanted to take revenge, but was killed by Qiu and his big black dog.

Most people did not feel any sadness at the deaths of the two men.

They were originally a group of rabble, and they joined the expedition team for the generous rewards given by the Arias family, and they had no friendship with each other.

Besides, the big guys are not good people, and there is nothing to regret when they die. The only thing that surprised them was Jude's strength.

Although he had the help of the fierce-looking hound, he was still one against two, not to mention being attacked while sleeping. However, he was still able to react immediately and kill the little mercenary. And his partner, without even waking up the others.

This shows that the entire battle ended very quickly, and there was an insurmountable gap between the strengths of the two sides.

If there were still people who were wondering how this guy who always had a bad face and didn't look very gregarious became the leader of the expedition team, no one has such doubts now.

A mercenary is such a simple creature, whoever has a big fist will listen to him.

Everyone packed up their things silently, and took advantage of the night to set out on the road again.

Except for Jude and the three lizardmen, no one knew what they were looking for in this swamp full of decay and death.

Anyway, every day is the same. There is no ale watered down by the tavern owner, no steaming baked pie, let alone those beautiful women with big breasts...

Before dawn, I would be woken up by mosquito bites. I would climb up from the tree, rub my aching waist, pee in a puddle nearby, and clear out the night's inventory.

Afterwards, he casually ate two bites of bread that was already as hard as a rock, put on the boots that were still half wet after drying overnight, and continued on the road.

This dull and dreary day lasted until the sixteenth day.

Jude opened his eyes, peed and gnawed bread as usual, only to see four mercenaries walking towards this side with anxious faces.

Jude was a little impatient and said before they could get closer, "I have told you many times that in two days we will return to the green field for supplies. Anyone who wants to leave can leave on their own, but the remaining commission will be paid." Just don’t think about it.”

"We didn't come to urge you to turn around," said one of the half-orc mercenaries with only one eye left. "Old George is gone."

"who?"

"Old George, old thief George, that old man with half his teeth missing, who likes to do magic tricks with silver coins."

"I have a little impression." Jude said, "Did he go to shit, like this kind of old man, it usually takes longer to relieve himself than young people."

"I'm afraid that's not the case. Night Owl was the first among us to wake up. He said that old George had disappeared at that time." The mercenary who spoke pointed to a young mercenary with pointed ears and obvious elf blood.

"How long has it been since he disappeared?" Jude asked Night Owl.

The latter said, "I woke up at dawn." After a pause, he closed his eyes again, and said solemnly, "I can feel an evil force lurking in the forest."

"You can feel shit," Jude interrupted him rudely and sneered, "The elves' so-called ability to communicate with nature and listen to the whispers of the surrounding plants is a fucking lie. Just tell women that they love you. People who believe in it are not like your money, and those who believe in it are fools."

"How do you know elves don't have this ability, and you are not an elf." Some people have different opinions.

Jude glanced at the man, "Because I killed a group of elves before, relying on the traps I made in advance and sneak attacks hidden behind trees. I guess those elves may have just arrived in the West and haven't been able to follow the ones here yet. Build good relationships with trees.”

"…………"

"But it seems that our poor old George will never come back." Jude's eyes flashed with a chill, "Go and gather everyone together, I have something to say."

After a while, the members of the Dragon Hunting Squad were assembled.

Jude looked around and found that except for the three lizard man guides and the missing old George, everyone was here. Without any nonsense, he directly pulled out the ax from his waist and said, "The reason why you are here is because Because I accepted the employment of the Arias family, I am certainly no exception.

"Although the remuneration given to me by the Arias family is a little different from that given to you, it doesn't matter. The point is...since you accepted this job, you'd better give me a good fucking job and leave the rest to me." Let’s put things aside for now.

"I don't care what grievances you have before, but if someone makes small tricks again and again under my nose and uses this expedition to avenge personal revenge, don't blame me for being rude to him."

The amount of information in Jude's words was undoubtedly very large, and the mercenaries had to spend some time digesting it, and then they all looked at each other in confusion.

Jude didn't give them much time to think. After speaking, he walked up to an unattractive male mercenary wearing a gray cloak with an ax in his hand.

The latter's expression tightened, but he soon regained his composure and said to Jude, "You have found the wrong person."

"Really, I don't think so." Jude sneered, "On the third day after we entered the swamp, you must have been the one who killed the unlucky guy who was bitten by a poisonous snake while sleeping at night. Being bitten by a viper will be very painful. It is impossible to die quietly."

The expression of the male mercenary wearing a gray cloak finally changed this time.

"Are you a killer?" Jude continued to ask.

The male mercenary did not answer, but his silence undoubtedly confirmed his identity.

"I originally didn't want to get involved in this mess. The guy who died was a bad person anyway, but you shouldn't do it again, my friend, I gave you a chance."

"Wait, I did kill Shidun, but the disappearance of old George has nothing to do with me." The male mercenary felt Jude's murderous intention and panicked, "I am a member of the mutual aid association, you can't kill... …”

Before he finished speaking, his head was already flying in the next moment!

"I don't care which side you are from, just remember not to show up in front of me again in the next life." Jude threw the killer's head aside, and then said to the four mercenaries who came to him before, "Why are you still standing there? , the problems have been solved, just go ahead and do what you have to do.”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the black beauty beside him suddenly started shouting.
