Around the road below the hillside, a large number of people were very busy. At a glance, there were dozens of people, and it looked like they were setting a trap.

In such an environment.

The blue-haired man was always lying leisurely on the slope. No one dared to disturb each other, and even let the blue-haired man work together.

This is the privilege of the strong!

The blue-haired man looked at the night sky with a toothpick in the corner of his mouth, slightly in a daze, even though more than half a year had passed.

The world-famous Battle still comes to mind from time to time and is constantly reviewed, although he has reviewed it hundreds of times or more.

That was his first defeat since he was born.

Talk about it!

Did that guy actually get into a fight with a woman?

The blue-haired man bit his toothpick for a moment, then remembered the news that came from Royal Capital some time ago, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

"To kill two nobles with one person's power, including my own family, and even be able to escape calmly Empire, she is indeed a fierce and terrifying woman."

"He seems to be a very powerful person. I really want to fight him."

The blue-haired man thought silently in his heart, and took out one of his hands that was originally resting behind his head and gently placed it on the long knife at his waist.

Speaking of which, there are indeed not many strong women. After all, women are far inferior to men in terms of physical ability alone.

In recent years, there seems to be a group of female adventurers called "Blue Roses" who have become very famous. They should also be a group of relatively powerful women.

Step--Tap--

Heavy footsteps came from not far away, and they stopped next to the blue-haired man.

"You are quite leisurely, Brain."

A rough and hearty voice came.

Brain lazily raised his eyelids and looked at the strong man standing next to him with short blond hair, a beard, and arms as thick as an ordinary person's thigh.

At first glance, his cheerful appearance makes it easy for people to like him, but in fact he is not a good person, and can even be described as bad.

This blond man is the mercenary leader of "Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group", a guy named Fikampa. This name Brain is guessed to be fake.

As for the real name.

Brain is not interested in knowing either. "Are you sure they will take this path?"

"Of course, my friend, it is not difficult to surmise."

"Even if there are monsters like Barghest acting as horses, Mr. Alchemist will deliberately stop for a period of time in every village and city he visits to sell potions."

Fikampa leader grinned, with a bright smile on his face, and licked the corners of his mouth:

"This gives us a lot of preparation time."

Brain sneered, "Heh."

"You are really confident. No wonder, even the long-famous Mithril Rank adventure team "Rainbow" in "Ye Rantel" was completely defeated. You are indeed qualified to be confident."

A bright light emitted from Brain's eyes, which was Hunter's excitement when he saw a prey worth hunting.

Seeing the interested look on Brain's face, the smile on leader Fikampa's face became even brighter, and he felt certain in his heart.

To be honest,

The famous Genius swordsman Brain actually joined their mercenary group. Even the leader Fikampa himself felt a little unbelievable.

"Keeping selling potions, it seems that Genius Alchemist is short of money." Brain raised the arm on the hilt of the sword at his waist and put it behind his head, changing into a comfortable posture.

Snap! Snap!

The leader of Fikampa patted his tense neck hard, with a touch of excitement and bloodlust in his eyes. "Who knew that the powerful Alchemist has always been a group of people who make money quickly and spend money quickly."

"I only know that the other party has sold so many Alchemical Potion, so he should have a few hundred gold coins... maybe a thousand gold coins."

"Hahaha, plus the bounty is really exciting. The knife you are interested in can be afforded after this vote."

Brain remained expressionless, nodding his head imperceptibly.

He needs to make himself stronger. In addition to exercising his physique, skills, and Martial Arts, weapons are also a way to enhance his strength.

The price of magic weapons is very high, but what Brain is pursuing is not simply magic weapons.

And the weapons spread from the desert cities in the far south have properties that are superior to ordinary magic weapons even if they are not enchanted.

The price of such a weapon is of course prohibitively high.

The weapon he was interested in was worth about 5,000 gold coins. Ordinary people would not be able to earn that much money even if they worked hard for a lifetime. This was not wealth that could be obtained through normal means at all.

So.

Brain just joined the mercenary group in front of him, which has about 70 people. Compared with the adventurers' messy rules that restrict people, the mercenary group doesn't have so many rules.

You can kill people to train Martial Arts, or you can get a lot of money!

"Alchemical Potion, which costs 5 copper coins, has a better therapeutic effect than Recovery Potion, which costs several silver coins. It is so cheap and cannot be stored for a long time..."

Brain After a short silence, he suddenly murmured softly:

"Oh, is it an alchemy potion specially sold to civilians? That Genius Alchemist seems to be a good person."

Fikampa leader was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing, "Good people? Hahahaha, we are a group of bad guys!"

"That's right."

Brain also let out a low laugh.

The night gradually fades.

A dazzling golden light began to appear in the eastern sky.

A carriage pulled by the Barghest monster came along the road in the distance and appeared in the sight of "Death Spreading Sword Mercenary Group".

"Coming!"

Fikampa leader was lying on the slope, his eyes were focused, and he spoke in a low voice.

One side.

Brain was still lying on the slope with his eyes closed, looking like he was asleep. In fact, he didn't sleep at all the whole night, but was recharging his energy.

He is confident, but he will not underestimate his opponents.

The Genius Alchemist, the green-haired Magic Caster girl, and the Barghest monster, are not simple little characters.

"Everyone is prepared to take action immediately if we fall into the trap." Fikampa leader quickly gave orders to his subordinates.

More than 70 members of the mercenary group all took out their weapons, with fierce looks in their eyes.

Daytime is not suitable for attacks - normal people think so, but leader Fikampa wants to do the opposite.

For experienced adventurers, they will relax their vigilance during the day compared to at night.

Under the expectant gazes of the mercenary group members, the carriage finally approached the location of the trap they had set.

They dug a deep pit there, and the bottom was covered with sharp iron Lancer. Even if you fell in, you would be injured even if you didn't die.

Right under everyone's eager gaze.

Suddenly!

The carriage that was traveling along the road suddenly stopped, and the Barghest monster in front looked around cautiously.

This action caught everyone in the mercenary group by surprise.

"Discovered?"

"How is this possible!"

"Did the trap reveal any flaws?"

"It's impossible. Even the experienced Thief wouldn't be able to detect the trap we set in a short time without careful observation."

"Could it be a trap-detecting magic?"

Everyone in the mercenary group whispered in surprise. After all, there was indeed a powerful Magic Caster in the opponent's team.

"It's really unpleasant." Fikampa leader saw that the carriage did not fall into the trap, and a ferocious look appeared on his cheerful face.

"Take the second countermeasure!"

As orders are conveyed.

The voices of discussion paused, and dozens of piercing sounds sounded simultaneously.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Crossbow arrows were shot out from the hills on both sides at the same time, densely covering the carriage.

At this moment!

On the carriage.

"I haven't encountered an attacker for so long, so I thought I didn't dare to take action. It seems there are quite a few of them this time."

Tang Zheng raised his hand on his forehead and saw a large number of crossbow arrows shot from the hills on both sides of the road, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

Since the Mithril Rank adventurer team was eliminated last time, not to mention the "Ijaniya" Assassin, even the ordinary attackers have suddenly disappeared.

This time we were attacked again.

Then the strength of the attackers is at least stronger than Mithril Rank's small team of adventurers.

"Plant Growth!"

Verdant Leaf Witch's hands glowed with emerald green light.

Green vegetation grew out of the carriage in the blink of an eye, covering the entire carriage. Crossbow arrows fired from all directions fell on these resilient plants and were all knocked down.

On Barghest's side, Bone Chains relied on its flexible body and swing to easily withstand the crossbow attack.

"Kill!"

"Get them!"

"...!!"

On the hills on both sides, a large number of mercenaries with weapons rushed out at the same time.

"Fireball!"

"Lightning Strike!"

Blazing flames and a beam of rushing lightning were also launched from both sides of the hill.

The straight Lightning Strike, which contained this penetration effect, was the fastest, flying in front of Barghest first, at the speed of lightning.

Even if Barghest noticed it, he couldn't avoid it.

"Magic Armor!"

Verdant Leaf Witch's steady voice sounded, and a layer of translucent Magic Armor appeared on Barghest's body.

Bang!

Lightning Strike hit hard, and the surface of Magic Armor on Barghest exploded to form an impact, knocking Barghest back a distance.

"Roar!"

The evil spirit let out a Roar sound, and stretched its limbs on the ground to stabilize its figure. Blue electric arcs overflowed from its body, and its Black hair stood on end.

Another attack from "Fireball" landed on the carriage protected by the growing plants.

"Boom" a loud noise!

The fire attribute attack obviously had a restraining effect on the plants, and it easily opened a big hole, and the rushing flames swept in.

"Damn it!"

Verdant Leaf Witch was shocked and angry.

This level of magical attack naturally poses no threat to her. What really makes her angry is that it affects her master.

"Ah." Enri saw the rushing flames that came into view. Even though he had gained a lot of knowledge during this period, he still couldn't help but exclaimed and closed his eyes in fear.

Bang!!

There was no unexpected pain. When Enri opened her eyes again, she found that Tang Zheng was already standing in front of her.

Wow--

The heat waves formed by the flames blew the white Priest robe and made a sound.

"A very targeted attack method." Tang Zheng's gentle voice sounded.

Enri's original panic and fear relaxed again with this voice, and his light brown pupils reflected White's back. "Captain..."

"I feel relieved." Tang Zheng chuckled.
