Chapter 31: City of the Dead
"Countless mercenary groups have tried to enter that area, but in the end, they have all failed. Even if they can come out alive, they will definitely be defeated and will never dare to enter easily......" Reka took another sip of wine and said, "According to those mercenaries who escaped by luck, there are countless cannibalistic undead there...... Therefore, those who come out alive call that area ...... City of the Dead! ”
"City of the Dead?" Jun Chu suddenly wondered.
"Yes! City of the Dead......" Reka said.
"Is there anything so evil...... Jun Chu muttered.
Reka smiled and continued, "Maybe you don't believe it, but you just need to remember one thing, it doesn't come to the air!" Haven't you noticed that outside this tavern, throughout the town, there are mercenary groups recruiting? ”
Jun Chu nodded suddenly, and then said, "I found that many mercenary groups are recruiting. Are they just preparing to go to the city of the dead? ”
"yes......" Reka said.
"But didn't you say there are a lot of cannibalistic undead there?" Jun Chu wondered, "Aren't those people afraid of death?" ”
"Little Brother Chu, what do you think we mercenaries usually rely on to make a living?" Reka asked with a sudden smile.
"I know a little about this, such as hunting some rare spirit beasts, seizing their spirit cores, and selling them for money. Or to improve your own strength. ”
"You're right! But this is only part of the story, if we encounter a spirit beast on the way to the expedition, we will definitely slaughter it! However, this is not the main purpose of the mercenary group, everyone who creates the mercenary group is for ...... Adventure ......" Rekadao.
"Adventure?"
"Yes! Venture! Mountain range...... Forest...... Gu cheng...... Tombs...... Sea area...... Even, as long as you can afford the price, we can do it for you! That is, wherever there is gold and silver treasure, or rather, wherever we feel there is wealth, we will go there! "Rekado." So...... From the City of the Dead, the people who are lucky enough to come out alive, no matter how evil and outrageous they are to spread there, they can't stop the pace of some mercenaries! ”
"Are you not afraid of losing your lives? After all, it's so dangerous there! Jun Chu asked.
"Hehe, if you want to get rich, you must take this risk! It's not a dangerous place, we won't go yet! The more dangerous it is, the more likely it is that there is great wealth to be buried...... Do you understand? "Rekadao!
"Okay...... Uncle Reka, you're right! If there is no danger, even if there is treasure, it will be taken away by others! Jun Chu suddenly smiled, and then, Jun Chu asked again: "But then again, what does this City of the Dead have to do with Xia Sanniang?" ”
"This Xia Sanniang was originally the head of the Yanhuo Mercenary Group! Have you ever heard of the Flame Mercenary Group? ”
Jun Chu shook his head again!
"This Yanhuo mercenary group is a thousand-person group! This Xia Sanniang is also a strange woman, a female streamer, and she is stunned to manage a thousand-person mercenary group in an orderly manner. I was also rescued by her and owed her a favor, so you said that you were introduced by Xia Sanniang, so I sold you this face! Accept you kid into my Storm Mercenary Regiment! Rekadao.
"Uh...... Speaking of which, I still have to thank Uncle Reka...... But I still haven't figured out what Xia Sanniang, and this city of the dead, and those mercenaries who want to ask me where Xia Sanniang is as soon as they hear me! Jun Chu said.
"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Reka took another sip of wine and said, "This Xia Sanniang's Yanhuo mercenary group has just come out of the City of the Undead...... Their Yanhuo mercenary group can be said to be the deepest group in that no-man's land among all mercenary groups! It is said that it is an ancient city, that there are cannibalistic undead in the no-man's land, and these evil rumors can no longer be evil, all from the mouths of those members of the Yanhuo Mercenary Regiment who escaped by luck...... "Reka said! "It's a pity, those members of the Yanhuo Mercenary Regiment who came back are crazy and dead...... I don't know if the words are credible or not! ”
"Got it back by luck? Your consciousness is that Xia Sanniang's Yanhuo mercenary group, a group of thousands of people, has not been able to unlock the secrets of the city of the dead? Jun Chu was stunned.
"That's right! A thousand people went in, less than ten people came out! Is it scary? "Rekadao!" Moreover, except for Xia Sanniang who was intact, the members of the group who followed her out were either crazy or died suddenly! The Yanhuo Mercenary Group has been gone since then...... Xia Sanniang also said that from now on, she will never form a mercenary group again! It was rumored outside that she was guilty of the members who followed her and worked for him, so she made such a decision......"
After speaking, when Jun Chu was stunned, Reka added: "There is also a rumor that Xia Sanniang has obtained the wealth of the City of the Dead!" The subordinates who escaped with her were all secretly killed by her, in order to devour the treasures of the City of the Dead alone! So, do you know now, why did these mercenaries think about you as soon as they heard that you had a relationship with Xia Sanniang? ”
"Got it...... It's credible, it's not credible, isn't it? Jun Chu said helplessly. Regardless of whether Xia Sanniang's Yanhuo mercenary group is still there, whether Xia Sanniang has obtained the wealth of the City of the Dead, these people are willing to believe this second rumor...... After all, it is much easier and faster to snatch wealth from a person than to find it from an unknown, dangerous area......" Jun Chu said.
"That's right! You're smart, too. Reka laughed.
"Then I'm just caught up in this rumor? Xia Sanniang and I just have a one-sided relationship......" Jun Chu said helplessly.
"What you say is useless, no one believes it! Some people will not give up the slightest chance to find Xia Sanniang! After all, for them, finding Xia Sanniang is equivalent to finding countless treasures......"
Jun Chu was gloomy, he naturally understood this truth. Just like in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to get the dragon slaying knife to force Zhang Wuji to tell the whereabouts of the lion king Xie Xun! But the key is that Zhang Wuji really knows where his stepfather Xie Xun is, but how does he know where Xia Sanniang is?
Isn't that foolish......
"I believe that you and Xia Sanniang just have a one-sided relationship! But would others think so...... But don't worry, follow me! There will be no danger! Reka said suddenly!
"Thank you, Uncle Reka!" Jun Chu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.
"I also believe that Xia Sanniang didn't do anything like killing her companions when she got wealth! So, in other words, the secrets of this city of the dead have not been solved at all, and the wealth in it has not been found! So, little brother, next, dare to ...... with me Take a trip to the City of the Dead? ”
