Familiar Boss

Chapter 172 Find the place to cross the river

"I don't want to walk with this kid, I will be dragged down, damn it."

"Kid stay away from me."

"Among us, there are people with such a low level of mercenaries. It's unbelievable."

When people learned that Su Ke's mercenary rank was so low, he instantly became the focus of these mercenaries, and people began to reject him.

Some people leaned over to persuade Su Ke to go back as soon as they were walking, some warned him to stay away from him, some came here on purpose just to mock Su Ke.

A cavalryman of the Vanguard Legion noticed the voice behind, and turned around to see the commotion of the group of mercenaries behind. Their pace was also gradually slowing down, and they did not follow up seriously.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and keep up! What a bunch of damned fellows!" the soldiers shouted at the mercenaries.

Although this group of bohemian mercenaries were loosely disciplined, they could still follow their orders, and they all started to stride up.

"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it. It was indeed because I spoke too loudly just now that they heard me. However, your level of mercenary is too low. I really doubt whether you can protect yourself well."

Henry Tandy hurriedly followed Su Ke and apologized quickly, but when he learned that Su Ke's mercenary rank was so low, he somewhat despised Su Ke in his heart.

"It's okay. My level is indeed so low. I don't have any skills. I told you just now. You must believe it." Su Ke put away his mood and said with a smile.

Seeing that Su Ke didn't take what happened just now to his heart, Henry Tandy nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, they despise you, and I can protect you then."

"That's really a thank you." Su Ke said jokingly.

But Henry Tandy didn't understand the meaning of Su Ke's words, and he walked proudly with a pace of disrespect.

"However, as long as you follow me when the time comes, I'm absolutely sure that you'll be fine! It's still the same sentence just now, when encountering any danger, the first thing to do is to run away!"

Henry Tandy once again reiterated the experience he has summed up over the years, that is, 36 moves are the best plan.

One word, escape!
Su Ke let out a long "Oh" and nodded, expressing his understanding.

The team left the market town and walked south, passing through a sparse forest and walking along the Blackwater River.

Su Ke could see that they were heading south now, and they were walking in the opposite direction of Connor Farm along the Black Water.

"Master, do they want to enter the evil forest?" Xiao Hei also sensed something.

"It's kind of like, it seems to be looking for a place to cross the river." Su Ke followed the team and observed carefully.

"I heard that there are many monsters in the evil forest over there. I won't go to that damned place." Henry Tandy walked, looking across the Blackwater River.

Su Ke didn't listen to Henry Tandy's words at all, thinking about it by himself.

They set off in the morning and walked a long way, and it was already noon.

But they are still walking along the banks of the Blackwater River, and they have been walking for a long time.

"Okay! Now stop and rest!" Captain Will ordered his subordinates, and one of the cavalry shouted loudly.

The team stopped slowly, and the mercenaries also sat down where they were, and took out the food they had brought to eat.

Su Ke took the little koalas to the edge of the team, found a quiet and clean place to sit down, and shared food.

"Basic, you take two people to the front to see if you can cross the river over there!" Captain Will said to a cavalry beside him.

The soldier obeyed the order and led the two men along the river bank.

There is a mountain road ahead, rugged and difficult to walk, surrounded by dense forests, the vision is also affected, but the river narrows.

Not long after, the cavalryman and two infantrymen came back to report.

"The river ahead is still very wide, and there is no place to cross the river."

When Captain Will heard the soldier's report, his face was solemn.

"It looks like we'll have to spend some time looking along the river bank." Captain Will said in a low voice.

"We've been walking along this river for a long time. Do we really have to cross the river and go through this forest? Is there no other way?" Benchmark asked Will, looking at Will.

"This is the shortest way I can think of. Last time..." Will paused when he said this, and an indescribable look flashed in his eyes.

It was a kind of sadness, and it was also a kind of fear.

Obviously, Captain Will has not completely come out of the shadow of being dominated by fear last time.

"The road we took last time, we all thought it was the safest road, but it took a lot of time, but we never expected that it was not as safe as imagined." Will recalled.

"But Captain, the road we are going to take now goes through the Evil Forest. None of us don't know how terrifying the Evil Forest is. Normally, even these mercenaries who are not afraid of death would not dare to enter easily."

Will's expression was calm: "It's okay. The road was said to be safe last time, but it was so dangerous. Maybe it might be the safest way to go through this evil forest this time."

After finishing speaking, Captain Will stood up and said, "Okay, let those people get up quickly and start setting off."

"Okay! Guys, get up! We're going to go on, hurry up! Be quick!" Benchmark shouted at the mercenaries.

When the mercenaries heard the order, they all complained and got up one after another, and reluctantly followed Captain Will and the others.

Su Ke also put away his things and followed the team.

Captain Will continued to lead the team, walking along the bank of the Blackwater River.

The river ahead is getting narrower and narrower. Will, who was walking in the front, saw a slack on his face.

He knew that he should be able to cross the river ahead, and after walking for so long, he finally found a place to cross the river.

But he immediately became worried again, because it was almost evening now, which meant that after they crossed the river, they hadn't gone far, and it would be night soon.

This is doomed that they must spend the night in the evil forest, or continue to drive at night.

But in this frightening forest in the legend, it is very dangerous to walk at night, let alone spend the night in the evil forest.

Will thought for a long time, he was hesitating, whether to spend the night here first, and then cross the river the next morning.

Or risk going on, through the Wicked Forest overnight, or as far as you can in the Wicked Forest.

Will came to a place that was very suitable for crossing the river, stopped and looked at it seriously.

As soon as the team stopped, the group of mercenaries saw that Will was looking at the river, and then at the evil forest on the other side of the river. They seemed to have understood it, and started talking.

"Is this guy leading us into this damn evil forest?"

"Apparently yes, he's looking over there."

"It's going to be dark soon, and I don't want to stay in that ghost forest in the middle of the night."

"Don't he know that the evil forest is too dangerous? This is to let us follow him to die!"
