Perhaps it was Rod's complaints that played a role, and shortly after repelling the attack of the undead, Old Walker finally found a new clue.

"It's their signal!"

Looking at the strange patterns carved into the branches, both Old Walker and Serek couldn't help but get excited.

"They're around here......... Judging by this mark, I think they should be there! ”

Looking along old Walker's finger, you can faintly see that there is a dark cave not far away. There was not the slightest light, and there was no sound. However, even if old Walker didn't say anything, everyone would be able to guess the same, not because they could all understand the meaning of the ghost drawing, but just look at the corpses of the undead creatures at the entrance of the cave, and the scattered footprints, I think everyone would find that it was not normal.

"Let's go."

Rhodes didn't want to stay here any longer, don't look at them until now, everything is going well, but you must know that the current distance of Lu Dao is only just over two-thirds of the distance of the Silent Heights, and even if he finds them, he will need to walk another third of the way to get out of danger. But look at the present, except for Serek, almost everyone looks exhausted, and a short break can't make them recover much energy, looking at their current appearance, it's like before the final boss fights, because they are exhausted and don't want to pull the protagonist's back, so they plan to sacrifice themselves to contain the enemy's NPC.

Of course, Rod doesn't plan to really become like this, after all, without companions, even if the protagonist goes to kill the boss alone, there is only a dead end. So he made a gesture for the group to follow, and led the way into the dark cavern.

"Whew!!"

The moment Rod walked into the hole, a faint sound of wind immediately hit him from the side, and the opponent's shot was accurate and ruthless, and the blow stabbed straight into Rode's neck, obviously intending to hurt the killer.

If it were someone else, I am afraid that there would be no chance of survival in the face of such a sneak attack, but as the first person in the online game of the Dragon Soul Continent, Rhodes has never encountered a guy who stabbed him in the back. Because of this, he reacted immediately the moment he was attacked by the other party.

The bright red blade was able to block the dagger stabbed in the dark, and then pressed it with a backhand, the other party didn't seem to expect that his attack would be seen through, and was pressed back in time, while Rod didn't hesitate at all, only to see his wrist flip, and soon, the blade stabbed in the direction where the dagger came from, and then stopped in front of the attacker.

"Stop, Rod, it's your own people!"

Seeing that something was wrong, Serek hurriedly reminded him, and at this moment, Lijie also hurriedly stepped forward, and the light of divine light immediately illuminated the cave.

It was only then that Rod saw clearly the sneak attacker who had attacked him just now.

She was half-masked, her tight black leather armor outlined the girl's slender figure, her plump breasts rose and fell because of the rapid breathing caused by nervousness, and her eyes were wide open, looking at the long sword attached to her chin with fear and insecurity, and on both sides, the slender ears were trembling irregularly, showing that the master's mood was not stable.

It was a half-elf.

"You're a member of the Victory Wine mercenary group?"

Rod put away his sword and asked indifferently, without the slightest expression on his face, as if the person who had been attacked just now was not himself at all.

"Yes, I'm a member of the mercenary group, and you're from the mercenary association?"

"That's right."

At this moment, Serek stepped forward.

"I'm Serek from the Mercenary Guild, and we've received your request for help, so we're here quickly......... Now it seems that we have arrived at a good time. ”…,

"You're Lord Serek!"

Seeing Serek's figure, the girl's eyes immediately became hot.

"You're finally here, great, come and save my companion......!!"

With that, she took Serek's hand and walked towards the depths of the cavern.

"We managed to escape here under the leadership of the regimental commander."

While leading the crowd inward, the girl introduced the current situation to them.

"At the beginning, the head of the regiment didn't want to go deep into the silent heights, we all knew that this place was very powerful. But in the outlying areas, we were attacked and surrounded by the undead, and we had to flee from the undead to escape them, but when we found out, we had fallen into the silent heights. Although the regiment commander wanted to break out of the encirclement, we tried several times to connect, but we were unsuccessful. As a last resort, we ventured inward to find out if there was another exit, but we came here......... Many of us were wounded, and the regimental commander knew that we couldn't get out, so we had to ask for help from the Mercenary Association, and it was good that you came, otherwise it would .........."

You're really good at choosing places.

Hearing the girl's explanation, Rod raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything.

"Who is it?"

Just as everyone came to a dead end, a heavy voice suddenly sounded.

"It's me, the mercenary guild guys are here!"

"What?"

Hearing the girl's answer, the voice immediately became excited.

"They're here? They're finally here! Quick, come in!! ”

With this sound, they soon saw that at the end of the passage, a huge boulder blocking it began to roll slowly, and then the light of the flames seeped out of it. And when the whole boulder was pushed away, a tall and mighty man strode out of it, and after seeing Serek and Rhodes and the others, his face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Isn't this Lord Serek? We couldn't thank you enough for not expecting you to come out in person........."

"Nothing, this is what our mercenary association should do."

Serek waved his hand, and then he smiled and looked at Rhodes to the side.

"If you want to thank him, thank him, otherwise we wouldn't be here."

"Huh?"

Hearing Serek's words, the man was a little surprised, he glanced at Rhodes curiously, but didn't say anything more. At the beginning, the man only regarded Rhodes and the others as Serek's subordinates, so he didn't pay too much attention to them, but now it seems that this is not the case?

But at the moment, the man didn't think much about it, he just made an inviting gesture.

"Come in, everyone, it's dangerous outside, those undead creatures are quite difficult, we don't want any accidents."

The name of the "Victory Wine" mercenary group is very good, but unfortunately, it seems that their members are not blessed by this name. After walking into it, the scene in front of them made many people gasp.

Five or six badly wounded mercenaries were leaning against the stone wall of the cave at the moment, groaning in pain, their bodies covered in blood and scars, and even a few of them had bloody scratches on their faces, and the pitch black and rotting dead flesh made people sick just to look at. But even so, these mercenaries still clung to the weapons in their hands, and after seeing Rod and the others, the mercenaries' originally desperate eyes immediately became hot.

They saw the hope of life.

"Lijie."

Rhodes didn't say much, but Lijie and the other spirit masters clearly knew what they were supposed to do now, and they quickly approached the injured mercenaries and began to diagnose and treat their wounds——— which was their job. …,

"I'm Kudla, the leader of the Victory Wine Mercenary Regiment."

After moving the boulder with his extraordinary strength again and blocking the exit, the man came over and saluted them solemnly.

"On behalf of my mercenary group, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you......... Frankly, I really didn't expect us to make it this far...... Thank you, Lord Serek. And this ........."

As he spoke, Kudra looked at Rhodes with a little doubt, and from Serek's introduction just now, he knew that this young man didn't seem to be as simple as he thought, so who was he?

"He's the leader of the 'Starlight' mercenary group, and I'm sure you've probably heard his name."

Serek smiled and made an introduction, and when he heard Serek's introduction, a look of surprise immediately flashed across Kudla's face.

"He's the rumored ............ But............ What ...... for?"

"The Mercenary Guild is understaffed."

Serek was quick to explain, and at this moment, his face was also gloomy.

"I think you may not know what to do, but now almost all of the mercenary groups in Deep Rock City have gone to destroy the undead for some reason, and until now, none of them have been able to succeed. The five or six mercenary groups that returned from defeat have all suffered heavy losses, and the mercenary groups outside, except for you, have not heard any news from the other mercenary groups so far. ”

"How could this be!!"

Hearing this, Kudra was really shocked.

"I thought it was ........."

"The Mercenary Association is investigating these commissions, and the commissioners. What kind of commissions do you receive? ”

"We were commissioned to find a traveler's token."

At this moment, Kudella also heard the seriousness of the matter from Serek's words, and replied with a serious expression.

"I heard that he died on the outskirts of the silent highlands, and the other party said that he was the traveler's brother, and that he had not returned for so long, I am afraid that there had been an accident, so he entrusted us to go and find it, and we did not want to go. But the man was very sincere, and gave a deposit of three hundred gold coins........."

It seems that this last sentence is the point.

"Is he from Deep Rock?"

Serek asked, and Kudella was silent for a moment when confronted with his question, then shook his head.

"No, it sounds like a Southerner...... Certainly not from the Parfield area anyway, he says he himself goes out a lot and doesn't live here permanently. ”

And so it was.

Serek and Rhodes glanced at each other, each recognizing the meaning in each other's eyes.

It seems that this "Victory Wine" mercenary group is also a victim of it, compared to the token of the traveler, it is also nothing, and the sword that the Red Eagle mercenary group is looking for is a non-existent thing, to put it bluntly, this is just a means to trick them into going to high-risk areas, but, considering these hundreds of gold coins spent outside, this means can also be regarded as a big deal.

So, what exactly do those people want to do?
