hell under construction

Thirty kilometers away from the royal city is the Zihe Valley, which is the only way to enter the human royal city from the east. Various merchant and mercenary teams pass by here, and gradually it becomes a relatively peaceful business route.

However, today's Zihe Valley is not peaceful.

There were bloodstains all over the stalls that were originally set up on the side of the road for passing traders to rest, and the corpses were lying on the ground, staining this peaceful land with blood.

When Ming Xiao's mercenary group, who had just received a lot of gold coins, entered the Zihe Valley, they saw such a bloody scene.

"It's not right!"

Genos quickly alerted, and the mercenary group picked up the weapons in their hands and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.

All I heard was the crowing of crows amidst the bloody wind.

"Quack-quack-quack-"

"This is not a habitat for crows, how can there be crows..." Louis leaned back against Lorna, frowning and thinking.

"Of course it's because the crow bandits are here!"

"Quack quack—"

"What do crows love best?"

"Quack quack—"

"It's gold coins!"

"Quack quack—"

"It's a golden coin covered with hot and fresh blood!"

"Quack quack—"

"The Crow Thieves Group! That notorious bandit group with the highest reward on the Wangcheng wanted list?!" Lorner revealed the identity of the person who came.

The Crow Thieves Group is a group of people who have been making trouble near the Royal City in recent years. It is said that the guys inside were all exiled aliens around the Royal City. For some reason, they gradually gathered together. The Crow Thieves Group was established. Thieves have been intercepted.

Although Wangcheng has repeatedly issued arrest warrants and even ordered the Paladins to encircle and suppress them, there are many capable people and strangers in the Crow Thieves, and when they encounter the Paladins, they escape faster than anyone else, so even if Wangcheng's wanted bounty is higher As high as it is, no one can take down the crow thieves.

However, after being chased and killed by the Holy Knights several times, the Crow Thieves stopped for a while, but recently the Holy Knights in Wangcheng failed in the knight training. Then they dispatched again and started killing in the Zihe Valley near the human king city.

"Quack quack—"

There was the loud crowing of crows, and a puff of smoke rose around.

"Be careful of sneak attack!"

The members of the mercenary group shouted loudly, forming a circular defensive circle, holding weapons tightly in their hands.

A black crow that covered the sky and the sun suddenly flew out of the thick smoke, and rushed towards the Ming Xiao mercenary group.

The smoke obscured the sight, "Clarkla", the sound of something hard being dragged on the ground came.

"歘——" The violent wind howled, and the sound of the wind came close, and only the mercenary group could clearly see that what was wrapped in the wind was a hard tail!

The owner of this tail is a long-tailed orc covered with tumors. His tail is covered with purple scales, which can quench the toxin at a glance.This race relied on their hard tails to fight, and with one tail down, it could break a big tree hugging two people in half.

Facing these second-rate mercenary regiments, the Long-tailed Orcs were confident that they could kill or injure them with one strike.

"Chong!"

However, the tail of the long-tailed orcs, which is invincible and capable of sweeping most of the enemies to the ground, kicked the iron plate this time.

Geros crossed his sword directly, blocking the menacing tail.

The force from the tail only made him take three or four steps back before stabilizing his figure.

"Haha... Sure enough, I didn't fight the Fire Rat for nothing a few days ago!"

In the fire rat hunting competition in Abyss Hell, they fought with fire rats. The tails of fire rats are much stronger than those of long-tailed orcs. Coupled with the burning of the surrounding lava, their movements are restricted. , I have gained experience in fighting this kind of attack.

Now, on land, there is no lava lake in the way, so Genos can easily resist this attack from the tail, and even raise the long sword to counter the opponent.

The crow thieves originally thought that this third-rate mercenary group would not be able to hold out for a quarter of an hour under their hands, and they could always catch the enemy by surprise by relying on the tail of the long-tailed orcs over the years. The mercenary group stumbled.

The long-tailed beast clan was surprised: "This mercenary group has never even heard of the name, and it can block my blow?!"

The tail waved again, striking towards the dense fog.

"what--"

I saw the sound of sharp weapons clashing in the dense fog, the long-tailed beast screamed, and suddenly retracted its tail. There was only half a meter left on the purple tail, and purple venom continuously flowed from it, touching the broken part of the tail , directly flowed back into the blood of the long-tailed orcs.

The long-tailed orc's body, which was already covered with abscesses, trembled violently, and the venom poured into his heart, causing him to lose his breath in an instant.

The crow thieves had no choice but to take the enemy seriously this time, pulling back the defeated long-tailed orcs and throwing them far away, fearing that the poison on his body would poison their own people, and then took advantage of the thick fog to attack and fight with Ming Xiao's servant Legion battle.

The Ming Xiao mercenary group gained a lot of combat experience from the demons during the time in the abyss hell. The demons fought faster than the crow thieves group, and the offensive was more rapid. They also learned a lot of fighting methods from it. If it was before Well, they would never dare to face the notorious Crow Thieves, but this time it was different.

Genos waved the big sword in his hand, and shouted to boost morale: "Brothers, don't relax! Kill the crow bandits! We can go to Wangcheng to get a lot of rewards!"

"Either die here! Or make a fortune!"

Immediately, the morale of Ming Xiao's mercenary group increased greatly. Shouting such slogans, they fought back against the enemies in the thick fog.

When Louis was killing the fire mouse before, he was stopped in the stands as an injured person. He had long worried that he would not have the opportunity to show his force, and this time he finally had a place to fight.

After being healed by the flame flower, Louis, who was covered in bruises, improved his physical fitness to a new level, and he did not lose the slightest bit in the battle with the crow bandits and other vicious guys.

"Pfft!" The enemy was beaten until he vomited blood.

But the crow thieves are not only reckless, there are also people hiding in the dark and playing tricks on them.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing through the air came suddenly.

Louis beat happily, heard the sound, but had no time to dodge, and was directly pierced through the shoulder blade by the wooden branch with barbed thorns piercing through the smoke.

"Ow!"

After being pierced by the wooden branch, he evacuated violently, tearing off a layer of flesh on the shoulder blades, and Louis clenched the weapon in his hand tightly so that he was not disarmed in embarrassment.

"Louis!"

Roerna heard Louis screaming, but the surrounding fog made it impossible for him to see where Louis was, so he quickly called his brother, wanting to know about Louis' situation.

"Don't worry! I'm fine!" Louie replied loudly.

He took out the medicine bottle he bought from Collier that he hid in his clothes room, lifted the lid, and swallowed a pill.

"vomit--"

The bitter taste in the medicine made Louis vomit a little.

But the treatment is important, Louis swallowed the pill swallowing the bitterness.

After Collier's many improvements, the effect of the drug has improved, and of course the bitterness of the pill has also risen to a higher level.

The pill melted in the mouth, and the effect of the medicine quickly flowed through the whole body, and the stabbed wound on Louis's shoulder blade healed and scabbed instantly.

"Uh-cough cough, the pill produced by Abyss Hell is really effective..."

Louis endured the feeling of vomiting, held his weapon, straightened up, and started fighting with the enemies in the smoke.

Many members of the mercenary group were also injured during the battle, but they all immediately used pills to stop the bleeding. Although there were constant vomiting sounds during the process, after the smoke cleared, the members of the mercenary group were in a bit of a panic. , did not receive too serious injuries, and basically stood in place intact.

And the guys from the crow bandits who tried to attack them lay down on the ground.

"Quack-quack-quack-"

The sound of crows chirping stopped abruptly, and Genos came out from behind a rock used for hiding, dragging the body of the leader of the crow bandits.

The leader of the crow thieves is a bird tribe, completely black, and his head is a mixture of a bird's head and a human face whose fur has not faded. It looks very terrifying, but now this guy's head has been mentioned In his hands, the Ming Xiao Mercenary Corps didn't feel any fear at all.

Because, that is all golden money!

"Boss!" Lorna grinned happily, "Each small leader of the Crow Thieves Group has a bounty of nearly [-] gold coins, and their leader is as high as [-] gold coins!"

"Hahaha! Then we sent it!"

Lu Yi's eyes sparkled brightly. Before that, the money spent by a flame made Louis have to deduct from his own commission, but now that the crow thieves have been paid, the bounty they got can buy more than ten flame flowers Not only that!

Genos threw the leader's head on the ground, and stood upright in the ground with the long sword in his hand. He was also very happy after the disaster: "Not only does he have money, but killing the crow banditry can also improve the reputation of the mercenary group! This year's mercenary In the evaluation of the corps, the Ming Xiao Mercenary Corps will definitely be among the best!"

Louis hugged the bottle of pills that saved him and couldn't put it down: "If it wasn't for the pills made by that demon named Collier, I would have died straight away when I was attacked by that guy who was good at sneak attacking with wooden branches! This medicine really saved me. Killed me!"

"Speaking of this—" A mercenary next to him looked at the bottle of medicine in his arms that he had taken three or four pills in battle with an ugly face, "The taste of this pill...is really weird Unpalatable!"

"Louis, are you the only one who has eaten flame flowers, and is the taste of flame flowers so excessive?" The companion tried to get some comfort from the only Louis who had tasted flame flowers.

Louis's face was wrinkled: "How is it possible! Flame flowers are sweet and fragrant! I can still smell that sweet smell when I wake up. It's not like this healing pill, it's worse than smelly socks that have been left for three days!"

"Ugh—it's okay if you don't say it, but if you say it, I'll—vomit—"

The words of their companions aroused their horrible memories of the taste of the medicine, and now the bitter taste of the pills still remained in their mouths, and their breaths were suffocating.

For a while, there was a continuous sound of vomiting in the bloody Zihe Valley.

"Ouch! It's disgusting—"

"I feel like I swallowed three stinky socks - ugh..."

"No wonder it's cheaper than flame flowers—vomit—"

"Ugh—I'd rather swallow a stinky sock than get hurt and eat this..."

The author has something to say: One day, Collier pushed open the door of the pharmacy.

Collier: Great news!Lord Demon King, the new medicine I developed is released!

Damon (covering his nose): Where did the latrine explode? !

Morn (holds breath): What's the smell...

Emiliaan (instantly entering the water): gurgling

Percy: ... (already fainted by smoke

Urga was blown away the moment Collier pushed the door open.

Demons who are well aware of the dangers of medicines have sealed these medicines in sealed and smell-proof medicine bottles, and have never used them until the guests from Abyss Hell come...
