Chapter 21: Mei Ke Leads the Team, Han Ma
(I'd appreciate it if you could give me a recommendation vote after reading, I'm grateful to the potatoes.....)
When Liu Feng arrived at the Mercenary Guild tent, the corpses and blood from the intense battle earlier had all been cleaned up spotlessly. If not for the slightly warm spatial ring on his finger, Liu Feng would have thought that everything earlier was just an illusion.
Jumping down from the treetops, it floated gently to the ground like a feather, without stirring up any dust.
The sudden appearance of the figure caused a commotion among the mercenaries, who were startled like birds taking flight. However, once they saw the person's face clearly, they breathed a sigh of relief, put down their tightly gripped weapons, and smiled at Liu Feng with some reverence.
They all clearly knew Liu Feng's strength, a powerful strength that could fight evenly with the 8th rank Tiankong Sword Master Huo Ta.
The strong are revered.
This rule is even more transparent among mercenaries.
A fiery figure rushed into Liu Feng's arms from the crowd, it was Su Fei.
Liu Feng's right hand wrapped around her waist, embracing the slender and delicate waist, and asked with a smile: "Are you okay?"
Sophie shook her head and asked back, "Are you okay? I just saw you chasing out, and... was a bit worried."
"Does it look like I have something on my mind?" Liu Feng raised an eyebrow.
Sophie narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes, carefully looked up and down for a while, then slightly puffed out her full chest, with a satisfied expression: "As expected of the man I, Sophie, chose, very good... extremely good."
Looking at Sophie's lovely appearance, Liu Feng felt a surge of tender affection in his heart.
Her slender fingers tapped heavily on her delicate nose, provoking a pout.
"Go and see how Uncle Huo is doing." Liu Feng took Su Fei towards the central tent.
Huo Ta's face was filled with excitement, constantly pacing back and forth inside the tent. Huo Bao's joy on his face was also unable to be concealed.
The reason is that Liu Feng brought back that "Golden Killer List".
Huo burst out laughing and said: "Xiao Feng, this time I really have to thank you, you've actually helped us with such a big favor."
Huo Ta nodded in agreement, gave Liu Feng a thumbs up and smiled: "Not bad, kid. Not only did you take care of that old thing Kamura, but you also brought us back such a big gift."
The two brothers are indeed very happy now, these killers have always been the thorn in the side of the Mercenary Guild, usually going out with caution, guarding against the killers who might pop up from anywhere at any time. Now that they have these lists and files on their strength and tactics, they can prevent them beforehand and minimize losses.
Looking at the two people laughing with their mouths open, Liu Feng shook his head helplessly and threw out another heavy bomb.
"The Hols Empire has brought a magical crystal cannon, intending to wipe out everyone here."
The two brothers were shocked by this sudden and abundant news, staring blankly at Liu Feng.
"Sophie couldn't help but let out a giggle at the sight of the two uncles' comical appearance, and from her calm demeanor, it was clear that Liu Xuan had already told her the news."
Horta, awakened by the laughter, turned his somewhat stiff neck and asked uncertainly: "You mean...the...Magic...Crystal...Cannon?" The last four words were almost read out one by one.
Liu Feng nodded with his eyes closed.
Hu Bo also came back to his senses from the shock, and asked with a serious face: "Xiao Feng, how did you get this information? Is the news accurate?"
"It was found in the space ring of the deceased Kammer. Look, here it is." Liu Feng raised his hand with the ring on it, and an envelope appeared in his hand.
The two of them didn't even glance at the space ring and quickly snatched over the letter, huddling together to examine it carefully.
"Too ruthless."
The two of them said in unison.
"What should we do?" asked Huo violently after reading the letter.
"Damn it, go and slaughter those people from the Hors Empire now." Hotah's anger was sky-high, clearly enraged by the Hors Empire's sinister plan.
"It's pointless to go and kill them now, besides, I think they should have received the message by now. At this time, people may have already withdrawn, and the magic crystal cannon is definitely not in their hands. I think that the current magic crystal cannon is likely to be in a hidden location, and once it is fired, it will guarantee an accurate hit on our high ground." Liu Feng calmly analyzed.
Huò violently nodded slightly, and his eyebrows furrowed heavily. "According to what Xiao Feng said, we can roughly confirm their location. The place that best meets this condition near the Death Forest is the surrounding mountains."
"But there are dozens of big mountains around the Death Forest, and the Magic Crystal Cannon has a very long range, so all these surrounding mountains are suspicious."
Sophie, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say out loud: "Isn't that to say, we'll have a hard time finding the location of the Magic Crystal Cannon? There are so many mountains, and each one is suspicious. We can't possibly turn over every single mountain."
Huo Ta and Liu Feng also nodded in agreement.
Huo Bao also had a worried look on his face, and sighed: "This is the biggest problem. If we continue to fight for the dragon egg, we have to be constantly on guard against that super weapon hiding in the dark. And if we don't go, it will be hard to explain to Lao Tzu... Ah..."
Huo Ta's face was also gloomy.
After a long time, Liu Feng's eyebrows twitched: "Then tomorrow we'll let all the teams except for the Hols team know about this news and let them tear each other apart. Now that the news has been leaked, I think the Hols Empire won't dare to take on so many forces' anger."
Huo Bao thought for a long time and finally agreed with this suggestion.
At dawn, a thin mist veiled the forest of death in white gauze. The tender green leaves slowly unfolded, opening and closing to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. A drop of dew appeared on them, making them even more delicate and green.
All teams started walking out of the tents, preparing for breakfast, only the thieves' guild located in one corner and the team from the Hols Empire on the other side did not have a single person come out.
Although everyone's face is filled with a hint of doubt, yet if you look closely, you will discover that hint of clarity hidden deep within their eyes.
Last night, such a noisy killing sound, and everyone here is an elite, how could they possibly not know what happened.
This kind of thing used to happen all the time.
Looking at the group of tents from the Mercenary Guild, a spirited person walked out one by one.
Everyone's impression of the Mercenary Guild's strength rose by several levels in their minds.
It is said that one's treatment is determined by their actual strength, and this statement is absolutely true.
The leader of the American Empire, accompanied by his teammates, walked towards Huo Bao with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Huo Bao brothers, are you feeling a bit better?" The words had already fallen before the person arrived.
Hu Bo saw the newcomer and quickly stood up, with a smile all over his face. "Oh, it's Han Ma brother! Thanks for your concern, I've almost recovered now. Some petty people are still not worth paying attention to." Although the words were polite, there was a hint of deeper meaning in his tone.
"Hehe, okay, it's fine then." Han Ma Xiang seemed to have missed the deeper meaning in Huo Bao's words and continued smiling.
Suddenly changing his tone, he looked at Liu Feng standing not far from Huo Bao and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Huo Bao brother, who is this?"
"Haha, that's my niece's friend, a fifth-level sword master." Huo Bao smiled lightly.
"Huh?" Han Ma said, somewhat disbelieving. "I've heard that Sophie is a Seventh-Rank Earth Sword Master, how could she choose such an useless friend?" Although he seemed to be talking to Huo Bao alone, his voice was loud enough for people within ten or so meters to hear clearly.
Sophie's eyebrows shot up, and she was just about to step forward when Liu Feng pulled her back by the arm. She could only pout in frustration.
"Hehe, Miss Fei, having a good affinity with me is not about the little one's strength." Liu Feng raised an eyebrow, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
