Chapter 16 The First Mercenary Hunt

An ordinary 'fight' turned into a bloody murder. Fights between mercenaries often happen, but it is very rare for people to lose their lives. After all, no one will kill if there is no conflict of interest, not to mention that once trouble occurs in the wild, mercenaries support each other. It's still an unwritten rule. "Just wait, today's business is not over!" The mercenary of Wild Wolf Fox picked up Solid and rushed out of the tavern without forgetting to say harsh words. Of course, things are not over yet! His own mercenary was openly snatched and wounded in a tavern. How could "Wild Wolf Fox" be able to swallow this sigh of relief? The two deputy leaders of the mercenary group, "Crazy Wolf" Elude and "Fire Wolf" Isaiah, led more than 200 angry wild wolf and fox mercenaries to block the gate of the Blood Mercenary Group and demanded that "Prick blood" and pay compensation. "Pricking Blood" knew that he was wrong but could not make friends with others, otherwise it would be equivalent to losing face in the entire mercenary world. Emperor Cuisi was even more furious. This incident was caused by his own weapon. He rushed out of the door with his bloody mercenaries and prepared to fight the "Wild Wolf Fox" people head-on. A large-scale armed fight between mercenaries is about to break out. It's just that the leaders of both sides, Fox Valet and Kicker, didn't show up. The two sides confronted and yelled at each other, but no one dared to make the first move. The large-scale confrontation between the two sides immediately alerted the city defense army. Due to the intervention of the city defense army, the battle ultimately failed to start, but the commander of the garrison in the city, Captain Quito, a strong man from the eighth-level battle school, had to personally intervene to mediate. Because the enchanted sword that caused the dispute between the two parties later disappeared in the chaos, there was no longer any proof for the blood-striking side's story. The only thing that could be confirmed was that Salk wanted to steal the weapon of the Wild Wolf Fox mercenary. A fight broke out between the two sides, and the bloodthirsty mercenary stabbed Police seriously in the chaos. The bloodthirsty mercenary leader Kicker, who was clearly in the wrong, had to give in and paid "Wild Wolf Fox" four hundred gold coins to settle the matter. Although the battle did not start, the bridge was still closed, and both sides were breathing heavily, so the small friction between the mercenaries below continued for a long time. Because it was suspected to be caused by the sword that Kristi lost, both mercenary groups also suspected that the "Blue Enchantress" was instigating it. However, the Blue Fairy Mercenary Group has remained aloof from the incident from beginning to end, without revealing any clues about their involvement. How could they have imagined that the whole thing was the private action of these two little bastards, Tony and Arthur. After the provocation was successful, they were severely stopped by Keynes and Randall before they could profit from the subsequent actions. Arthur is a child, after all, and his clever little schemes will be discovered immediately once he profits from them. Through this incident, Keynes and Randall discovered that they still underestimated Arthur. This little guy can always bring unexpected surprises to people. This unexpected bar incident once again restored a delicate balance between the three B-level mercenary groups in Juarez City. They did not deal with each other, but were helpless against each other. Arthur, the instigator of the incident, was currently walking quickly through the dense oak forest, jumping lightly over the bushes and tangled vines on the ground. Arthur, who was running, was wearing an earth-yellow first-level mercenary leather armor tanned by an unknown animal skin. The leather armor still showed the fur edges, and a cyan hairband tied up his long black hair that reached his shoulders. His body has become much stronger than when he first joined the mercenary group, and he has become half a man. He no longer looks thin and withered. While running, Arthur took off a dark fine iron bow from his back, and a sharp arrow shot out of the bowstring almost at the same time. In front of the sharp arrow, a black-backed pig was working hard to arch a tall oak tree with its head lowered. Each arch of its sharp fangs left a deep groove in the root of the hard oak tree. The Black-backed Hog is a first-level monster. Although it is not very smart, it has a bad temper. Its pair of sharp tusks are comparable to sophisticated spears. Its thick skin is as hard as iron armor, making it difficult for ordinary swords to damage it. An adult black-backed boar weighs half a ton and is as big as a calf. Two or three human warriors of the same level cannot get close to it if it goes crazy. Even so, because of its flesh and tusks, it is still the favorite of hunters and mercenaries, and they do not hesitate to take risks to hunt. Hearing the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, the black-backed pig stopped arching the tree and turned its head. The sharp arrow pierced the pig's neck at this moment, and the huge inertia directly knocked the pig to the ground. The black-backed pig shook its head and stood up instantly. The sharp arrow also fell to the ground with the shaking of its head. The seemingly extremely fast arrow only caused some skin trauma to the black-backed pig. At this time, the pig also discovered the human boy who attacked him, let out a low roar of pain, and rushed towards Arthur. Arthur's speed did not slow down while running, and the bow string in his hand kept moving. Three sharp arrows flew out one after another, and the three arrows almost formed a line and shot at the black-backed pig. "Three stars in a row!" A cry suddenly came from the branches of a tall oak tree not far behind Arthur, "That stingy guy in Ilya actually taught that little guy what he is good at." "Didn't you even take out the life-saving 'Shadow Stealth'? Otherwise, how could he run away so easily?" "I lost to him. I, Tony, have always been the most trustworthy among the mercenaries, but I didn't expect him to learn so quickly?" It was Tony and Angus who were hiding in the tree. This is Arthur's first experience of going out alone, and this is what Randall meant. Only by experiencing dangerous hardships and life-and-death battles can the strongest mercenaries be cultivated. But he was worried, so he sent Tony and the others to follow him secretly. "Isn't it too dangerous for him to deal with a first-level monster by himself?" Angus said with a hint of worry. Tony wiped his nose and said carelessly: "Look, this kid is a genius. In just half a year, his fighting spirit has penetrated his body and he has become a first-level warrior! It took you several years to break down your muscles and bones and make your fighting spirit penetrate your body. , three years or five years?" Just as the two were bickering in the tree, Arthur had already thrown away the bow and arrow in his hand and rushed in front of the black-backed pig. The previous three arrows were almost all shot at the same position. The last arrow was shot more than half a foot deep into the back of the black-backed pig's neck. As the pig ran, it shook violently, and thick blood flowed as it ran. Throw out. Arthur has completely angered this first-level monster. The pig roared and slammed into Arthur's abdomen. A pair of fangs were like two sharp blades trying to open Arthur's body. The moment the fangs almost touched his body, Arthur's body turned flexibly and avoided the impact of the fangs. Facing the monster that turned around again, Arthur weighed the one-foot-long straight-edged hunting knife in his hand and showed a disdainful smile...
