C7 Mercenary
In this world, it was the easiest for people to communicate and communicate with each other. According to Fan Ji's understanding, they were mercenaries and adventurers. This was because these two occupations had the five seas as their home. Wherever they went, that was where they would go. Therefore, when he chatted with his son, Fan Ji's tone was very straightforward.
It didn't take long for the two of them to get familiar with the road. This was all thanks to Ma Liang who had gone to the carriage for about twenty minutes. Twenty minutes was enough time for Fanji, who was familiar with communication skills, to read a lot of information through chat.
"Fanji is not afraid to tell you that the Miss Ruth in the carriage is a beauty. However, he is extremely arrogant, as if he thinks highly of himself. " Pointing at the carriage in the middle, the second son's face was filled with disdain.
Nodding his head, Fan Ji suddenly came to a realization. To look down on others and consider oneself to be superior to others, these two bad habits have always been the common ailment of the rich. No wonder their captain had been gone for so long. Most likely, he had been 'communicating' with that woman.
"Fan Ji, let's go. Captain should be communicating with Miss Ruth. You should be able to come with us to the Misty Cloud Academy." Patting Fan Ji's shoulder, the second son nodded towards the carriage.
He looked towards the carriage and saw his captain's brother waving his hand towards him. The curtain on the carriage in the middle fluttered heavily, as if the owner was angry but helpless. He chuckled to himself. Fan Ji knew that the captain had the upper hand in communicating with his brother.
Following the second son to the front of the carriage, Fan Ji's face was still filled with a pitiful expression. Ma Liang walked forward and patted Fanji on the shoulder. "I've already communicated with Miss Ruth, and she agreed to let you come with us." But you must promise me not to cause any trouble on the road. Otherwise, I'll throw you out right now, do you understand? "
"Thank you, Captain Ma Liang. I understand." You can just call me Fanji. I promise there won't be any trouble. " Fan Ji hurriedly replied, nodding his head like a chick pecking rice.
He could arrive at the Misty Cloud Academy tomorrow, what kind of trouble could he cause with a single night? A carriage would pass just by taking a nap. Naturally, Fan Ji would quickly agree to something like this. However, this thought was quickly extinguished by Mai Liang's next sentence.
"We only have three carriages. The one in the front has Miss Ruth's things, the one in the middle has Miss Ruth's, and the one behind has our rations. So you have to walk with us, and you can change shifts with the other brothers. " Ma Liang pointed at the three carriages and introduced them.
Fan Ji opened his eyes wide and nodded to himself with a sigh. He had originally thought that he could rest and sit in the carriage, but in the end, he still had to walk. However, it was good to have a change of shift since there was at least some time to lie down.
However, Fan Ji was extremely curious about this Miss Ruth. She had only gone to the Misty Cloud Academy to study, yet she had actually brought a carriage full of items. He then looked at the two bags he was carrying. If he had not cut off some horns on the way, he would only have one bag.
The carriage continued on its way, and the three carriages rumbled forward across the wide road. Apart from Ma Liang and the second son, who were sitting in the front of the carriage, the other five members were all guarding the three carriages. Of course, the other three members were resting in the last carriage, but now the ten-man team had more Fanji.
By joining this mercenary group, Fan Ji was able to quickly get familiar with everyone with his ability to communicate. With their humble attitudes and flattery, the members of the team quickly fell in love with this bald kid.
As they continued to chat, Fan Ji's understanding of this ten-man mercenary group grew deeper and deeper. Among them, the strongest was their captain, Ma Liang. He had the strength of a Fifth Stage Martial Disciple, and the second son had the strength of a Third Stage Martial Disciple. As for the other eight members, they were all ordinary mercenaries.
A Fifth Order Warrior and a Third Martial Warrior. Although they were nothing to Fan Ji, they were still quite powerful for a small mercenary group. It was also because of this that these two had the highest prestige in the group, and were the captains of the entire mercenary group as well as the second captain.
The mercenary group was called Raging Flames, which sounded like a very popular name. The reason why this name was given was because Captain Ma Liang practiced fire-attribute battle-qi, which was extremely powerful. Fan Ji actually liked this name. After all, no man didn't have an excited yearning.
Just as the second son had said, none of the mercenaries liked the Miss Ruth in the carriage. As for the reason, it was because of Miss Ruth's attitude, arrogant and self-righteous. Looking thoughtfully at the second carriage, Fanji wondered what this Miss Ruth looked like.
Following the Flame Mercenaries, Fan Ji discovered that the distance he was traveling was indeed a diameter of what he had expected. According to the route on the map, the path the Flame Mercenaries were traveling on could be said to be the shortest one. Even so, it was not always the main road. One could see everything from the scenery along the way.
"We need to increase our speed. We have to get to the Black Forest before nightfall." Ma Liang shouted to the people behind him as he walked out of the carriage.
Looking at the evening sky, Ma Liang estimated the time. He had already traveled about 10 kilometers in the afternoon. The speed at which he progressed could be said to be quite fast. After camping for a night, I believe I will reach my destination by tomorrow morning.
After hearing Ma Liang's words, everyone quickened their pace. He followed the carriage forward. It was getting dark, and it would be dangerous if he did not find a place to camp. As mercenaries, they knew how to survive in the wild.
Carrying two bags, Fan Ji followed the carriage, his face unblushing. Looking through his vision, there was indeed a forest about 2 km ahead. Camping in the forest was indeed better than camping on the road, and there was water in the forest.
After following the carriage for about ten kilometers, Fanji had yet to meet Miss Ruth. As if he had been sleeping all afternoon, the carriage in the middle was very quiet. This made Fan Ji, who wanted to see a beautiful woman, feel a little regretful, but he believed that he would be able to see her in the evening.
After travelling for around an hour, the caravan arrived at the Black Forest. In the glow of the setting sun, Fanji saw the so-called Black Forest. It was really just like a name. It was extremely dark, and there were all kinds of huge trees around. However, this was not a dangerous matter, because there was a road here.
This should be the road leading to the outside world. Fan Ji nodded as he stepped on the countless marks left by the wheels. If someone were to pass through this forest, the danger would not be great. The idea of camping out here was just a way of saying that they would pass by very quickly.
"Second brother, take a few of your brothers to the campsite and inform them." Ma Liang nodded to the second son and instructed.
After hearing Ma Liang's orders, the second son immediately led the four members to the two sides of the main road. Soon there was a response. The camping area had been found. Following the second son's reply, everyone pulled out their swords to chop off those weeds and drive the carriage.
As everyone headed towards the campsite, Fan Ji, who was walking at the back, frowned. He discovered that there seemed to be something in the forest watching him, but when he sensed his presence, it was gone.
Fan Ji had no doubts about his own perception, especially after reaching the Martial King realm. Since he sensed something watching him, then there must be something in this black forest. What made Fan Ji alarmed was that there seemed to be more than one person watching him …
It was dark now, and Fanji's vision was obstructed. The radius of a kilometer had been reduced to a few hundred meters, and with the addition of the darkness, he could not see very clearly. However, the only thing that was certain was that there was something inside the forest.
"Fanji, don't fall behind. Hurry up and follow." Ma Liang, who was walking in front, called out when he saw Fan Ji, who was walking slowly behind him.
"So what? So what?" Tightening his grip on his bag, Fan Ji ran over with small steps. Since he couldn't discover anything, he could only wait and see. Since he couldn't see the situation from the darkness, he could only do it in this manner.
A minute after Fanji had followed the line, the earth began to move where Fanji had been standing. A black object suddenly emerged from the ground, its two eyes glowing with a green light. It looked incredibly strange.
When Fanji caught up with the team, he noticed that everyone was busy with their arrangements. Those who took out camping tents, those who searched for firewood, those who searched for water, and so on, all busied themselves. Seeing this, Fan Ji immediately put his bag aside and joined in helping.
Although he had felt something in the forest just now, he wasn't sure he wanted to say it out loud. It had to be known that he was currently pretending to be a very weak youth. Moreover, no one would believe him even if he were to say it out loud.
The three tents were quickly set up, and a bonfire was set up in the center. At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and the bonfire caused the shadows of the surrounding trees to be drawn out. Not only was it a little strange, it was also a little horrifying.
These were not much to the mercenaries. After walking for four days straight, they were able to rest. All the men gathered around the bonfire, taking the meat and seasonings and placing them on top of the bonfire to roast. Not long later, the fragrance of meat wafted in the air.
"Miss Ruth, dinner is ready. Come down and eat something. " Ma Liang walked up to the carriage and knocked on the window.
"Captain, thank you for your concern. Just give a few pieces of meat to this old man." The tent has already been set up, Miss will need to rest soon. " An old woman's voice came from the carriage and answered Mai Liang's question.
"Yes, the tent is ready. You and the young miss can go in later and rest. " Ma Liang nodded and returned to the campfire.
Hearing the conversation between Ma Liang and the person inside the carriage, Fan Ji couldn't help but be stupefied. Wasn't it a beautiful young lady? Why did it have to be a grandma's voice? Fanji frowned as he looked doubtfully at the carriage. Could the person inside be a woman instead of a young girl?
