C50 Mercenaries

Long Chenhao and Mu Yu were walking along the small path in the forest. They had already walked a long way out of the Biyun City after a whole morning of traveling. It was close to noon and the weather was hot. Mu Yu did not feel any dry because she was wearing the armor of the Ocean's Heart. On the contrary, she felt much cooler.

The surrounding dense trees even felt a little gloomy during the day. They did not meet a single person along the way. However, this was the closest path to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran. As the Biyun City had been delayed for too long, even if the map Long Chenhao bought was filled with danger marks, he had no choice but to choose this path.

"Mu Yu, we have already walked for such a long time. Let's take a rest first!" Long Chenhao looked at the distant sky and thought of Mu Yu's cultivation base and suggested.

"Okay, young master." Mu Yu quickly went forward to clean up a clean seating area for Long Chenhao.

In fact, ever since Mu Yu learned the basics of cultivation from Long Chenhao, her cultivation speed had increased by leaps and bounds. She had long broken through from level seven to level eight, and now she had the momentum to advance to level nine. She did not feel the slightest bit of fatigue from travelling for such a long time.

Long Chenhao saw Mu Yu's movements and frowned slightly. "Mu Yu, you don't need to do this. We are like good friends. You don't have to specially take care of me."

He had lived in the Imperial Palace since he was young. Ever since he lost the title of genius, no one had taken the initiative to take care of him. He had been used to taking care of himself for so many years. Taking care of him like Mu Yu made Long Chenhao feel uncomfortable.

"I understand, young master. I will pay attention to it in the future." Mu Yu saw Long Chenhao's serious look and said in a low voice.

"That's good." Long Chenhao smiled and patted Mu Yu's head twice.

"Young master, you won't grow taller like this." Mu Yu said in a bad mood. After being with Long Chenhao for so many days, she had become familiar with him. They were not as close as before.

"It's fine. Why don't you touch mine too?"

"I don't want that."

... ""

The sun hung high in the sky. Although the road was very wide, the surrounding dense forest was getting hotter and hotter. Long Chenhao sat beside Mu Yu and felt much cooler.

The sound of horses neighing came from not far away. A group of people dressed like merchants appeared in Long Chenhao and Mu Yu's eyes. There was a long line of people on the horse carrying various kinds of goods. There were some people holding weapons guarding the sides and sides of the line.

"Young master, it seems like a caravan is coming."

"Yes, but it's rare to see such a large caravan in such a place! Could it be that they aren't afraid of magical beasts?"

"This is the shortcut to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran. If the caravan walks through here, it will save a lot of expenses. I think the high profit is also the reason why they take the risk!"

Long Chenhao felt Mu Yu's words were very reasonable, so he nodded and quietly looked at the merchant group that was approaching.

Although this forest was not connected to the Magic Beast Forest, it was a large wilderness. In addition, there were few people, so there were quite a few magic beasts with lower cultivation levels. It was because of these low level magic beasts that this path looked even more dangerous and sinister.

The merchant group's vigilance was very high. From afar, they discovered Long Chenhao and his companion sitting under the tree. The group also stopped early. After some discussion, a middle-aged man quickly ran over.

"Young master, I wonder if you are planning to go to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran." The middle-aged man ran over and sized Long Chenhao up before saying.

Long Chenhao nodded without saying anything.

The middle-aged man's face revealed a look of joy, "Young master, we are going to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran merchant group. I think the two of you are also cultivators. Why don't you come with us? We can take care of you during this dangerous journey."

It was fine to walk with them, but the goal was too big. What if they were targeted by some powerful magical beasts?

The middle-aged man could clearly see the worry in Long Chenhao's heart, and said, "Young master, our trade caravan has hired a large number of mercenaries. Each of them is very powerful, and we will not treat young master unfairly. As long as you are within the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran, our merchant group is willing to pay two hundred gold coins as remuneration. "

Long Chenhao looked at Mu Yu and said, "Alright then!"

In fact, Long Chenhao did not lack the 100 gold coins. It was mainly because Mu Yu's level was low and it was the first time she had walked so many roads. It was inevitable that she was not used to it.

"Then I will thank you in advance."

The middle-aged man ran back again. In a short while, the caravan arrived in front of Long Chenhao. It was not until Long Chenhao got closer that he realized the size of the caravan was far beyond his imagination.

After the caravan stopped, the mercenaries spread out and protected the caravan in the middle. The size of the mercenary was not small. There were twenty to thirty people in total.

Many of the mercenaries had cracks on their armor, and the cold air emitted from their swords and swords indicated that they had experienced blood and battles.

Mercenaries had a long history in the Rendering Continent, and most of them were made up of people who did not have crown skills cultivation. Usually, they would take on all kinds of escort missions, and sometimes, they would be hired by big families. They provided a lot of help to the fights between the families.

Mercenaries' income was very high, often accompanied by high risks. Sometimes, in order to find a special herb, they would be completely wiped out. Even so, in the face of money, there were still many people who came one after another.

When the mercenaries saw Long Chenhao and Mu Yu, their eyes were all attracted by Mu Yu. She was a plain girl, and her beautiful face made these mercenaries who often did not see girls secretly overjoyed.

Long Chenhao released his divine sense to investigate the surrounding mercenaries. Just like what he thought, they were just some low-level crowns.

"Hey, hey, did you see that? That girl looks really good!"

"Of course she is. She is much better than those ordinary people in the brothels."

"Tsk, can those people be compared with her? This girl is the most beautiful one I've seen in my life."

"Do you think we should..."

"It's not suitable now. Let's wait until we get to the Ancient Kingdom of Di Ran before making our move! It wasn't easy for us to meet such a beautiful girl, yet we let her go just like that. The heavens really can't tolerate this! "

Three to five mercenaries were discussing by the side. Their voices were very loud, and with Long Chenhao's hearing being better than the others, their discussions were very clear. Mu Yu, who was by the side, also had a look of resentment on her face.

Hmph, as expected, he was not a good person. His mind was actually focused on Mu Yu. It seemed like it would not work if he did not teach all of you a lesson.

Long Chenhao stood up from the ground and walked in front of them. Without saying a word, he slapped them several times in a row. These few experienced mercenaries fell to the ground like puppets with broken strings.
