Chapter 373: Mercenary Iron Bucket! Ye Yun's identity?
This mercenary does not look very old, about twenty years old, but his appearance is quite flattering, unlike the burly figure of other mercenaries, this young mercenary is very fat, and he is also very short, looking like a meat ball.
And judging from what he is wearing, the latter is obviously not very mixed in the mercenary industry.
A cyan suit had obviously been worn for a long time, and it was covered with stains, and the dirty color almost covered up the original cyan of the shirt, turning it into blue-black, and even in the extremely cold weather of the beast city, there was still a strong pungent smell emanating from the latter's body.
When the young mercenary stopped in front of the city gate, both the mercenary and the merchant who passed around him could not help but frown when they smelled the pungent temperature emanating from the latter, and then they either left quickly, or stayed away from the detour.
However, without exception, when people passed by, their eyes when they looked at the young mercenary were full of contempt.
Although mercenaries are dangerous and hard, they can also be extremely well paid. Even if you don't have enough strength to hunt demonic beasts, picking some herbs from the mountains and forests or digging up some metal ores to sell is enough to make your life very nourishing.
But this young mercenary is so sloppy, it really disgraces the mercenary's face, I'm afraid that even those beggars who beg along the street are better than him.
However, the young mercenary pouted at the disdainful gazes around him. muttered in his mouth: "A group of guys who look down on people, when I get the reward of Wan Bingzhai, when the time comes, see who dares to look down on Lao Tzu!"
The young mercenary's voice was so small that only he could hear it, and it was obvious that he didn't dare to raise his voice even though he was very angry at the disdainful gazes of the people around him.
After venting his anger slightly, the young mercenary swept his eyes over the huge gate of the beast city, and then put his hand into his arms and pulled it out. Then he took out a neatly folded piece of white paper.
The paper is unfolded. There is a portrait depicted on the snow-white paper that is not too large, this is a portrait of a young man, and the boy is not very big, at most only about sixteen or seventeen years old. But the year of the weak crown.
"I've been down for half my life. Now it's finally time to start the transfer!hehe" The young mercenary looked at the portrait of the young man on the paper in his hand. said softly in his mouth, but when he talked about the worst, he couldn't help but let out a burst of lewd laughter.
The young mercenary's name was Iron Bucket. Although he also cultivated, he was extremely lazy, and he liked to steal chickens and dogs since he was a child, so even now in his twenties, he still hasn't achieved anything.
Because of laziness, he didn't cultivate well, and now he is in his twenties, and his strength is only at the level of three or four star sword guard realms, so even if he becomes a mercenary, he can't hunt demonic beasts at all, and he is not very bold, he is very afraid of death, and he does not dare to go deep into some mountain ranges.
This iron bucket was originally in the Black Rock Town of the Purple Cloud Empire, but because of his habit of stealing chickens and dogs, many mercenaries and merchants were very disgusted with him, and no mercenary team would form a team with him, so his life was even more miserable.
In this regard, this iron bucket didn't care at all, he originally had the idea of living one day at a time, and he didn't have any plans for the future at all.
And even if he had a plan, he couldn't see any hope, he had already decided that his life might be like this forever.
Maybe you will be beaten to death one day, or you may starve to death on the streets.
However, one day when he saw the portrait of the young man in his arms, he knew that his life of getting by and living one day was finally coming to an end. At the same time, the day of his soaring prosperity has finally come.
After staying in Black Rock Town for so many years, he was very familiar with the boy in the portrait, especially the series of events that almost changed the pattern of the situation in Black Rock Town some time ago, which made him even more impressed by the boy in the portrait.
"Fuck, it's unfortunate to see an idiot in the morning!"
"Look, another daydreamer!"
"What an idiot, he actually treats Ye Yun's portrait as a treasure!"
"Hehe, maybe people think that with this portrait, they can catch Ye Yun!"
"That's right, hahaha"
Hearing the piercing laughter of the young mercenaries, the mercenary merchants who passed around suddenly let out a burst of laughter.
The portrait of the young man in the hands of the young mercenary, they can be said to be very familiar, it is Ye Yun's portrait.
Under the power of Wan Bing Zhai, who stepped into the Eight Rank Sect with half a foot, Ye Yun's portrait was like the snow, radiating millions of copies to the outside world every day, and the beast city was regarded as a key object of care.
Now, in this beast city, you can see the portrait of Ye Yun almost everywhere.
Hearing the cynicism around him, a touch of anger suddenly appeared on the young mercenary's round face, but when he saw that the people around him were either strong or extremely angry, or businessmen who were protected by many masters, the young mercenary could only turn his head and curse in a low voice according to the anger in his heart.
"A bunch of foolish guys, you're idiots!"
Then the young mercenary no longer paid attention to those mocking eyes, folded the portrait of Ye Yun in his hand quite solemnly, and then put it in his arms.
After doing this, the young mercenary couldn't help but let out a breath of heat again, and rubbed his palms that were red from the cold, "Damn, this beast city is too cold, it's better for our Purple Cloud Empire!"
"Forget it, it's better to pass the news to Wan Bingzhai quickly, get paid and leave, this Thousand Snow Empire is really not a place for people to stay!"
Thinking of this, the young mercenary's eyes couldn't help but appear fiery again, and he reached out and touched the portrait in his arms, and a greedy smile appeared on the latter's face.
"Glory and wealth, wealth and beauty. High-level martial arts exercises, I'm here with an iron bucket!"
As he spoke, the young mercenary tightened his not too thick shirt, and no longer hesitated, and walked towards the huge gate in front of him
The Beast City, in the center of the East City District, has a very large area and extremely luxuriously decorated building.
This building was owned by a very well-funded chamber of commerce in the Beast City, but that was in the past. After Wan Bingzhai entered the beast city. This building, the latter directly purchased it, as the temporary sect of Wan Bingzhai stationed in the beast city.
Deep inside this building, in a lobby.
Spacious lobby. There were several people sitting. Count it down. There were more than a dozen people, and almost all of these people were quite old men, and they were the twelve elders of the Inner and Outer Sects of Wan Bingzhai. And at this time, the punishment is also in it.
At this time, the complexion on the latter's face, it was obvious that the injuries caused by Mu Lu had improved a lot that day, although there was still some pale color on his face, but judging from the latter's steady and powerful breathing, it was obviously no big deal.
At this time, Mu Li, who was dressed in a gold-rimmed black shirt, was sitting on top of the lobby.
At this time, although Mu Li's face was calm and there was nothing unusual, the atmosphere in the lobby was extremely solemn, and the thirteen old men below were all silent, not daring to make the slightest sound.
After all, if in the past, Mu Lu's strength was comparable to theirs, and although they respected the latter's status as the sect master, they would not be like now. But this time is different from the past, now Mu Lu has reached the half-step Sword Emperor realm, and his strength is not comparable to them at all, and Mu Lu's death has also made the latter crazy.
No one dares to guarantee what kind of things Mu Lu will do in this state.
If the latter is unhappy, the latter will directly draw his sword and kill them, they don't dare to complain, even if they have complaints, there is no way, on the Purple Gold Continent, strength is everything, and the big fist is the truth.
What can be beaten is the truth, and even if it is justified, it must be held in your heart and obediently be a grandson.
These elders all sacrificed their lives, so none of them wanted to touch the latter's mold at this time.
"Tell me, elders, what should we do next?" The dullness in the hall did not last long, and after a while, Mu Lu, who was sitting at the top, spoke slowly and said in a hoarse voice.
Hearing Mu Lu's voice, the hearts of the people below immediately jumped, but they didn't dare to show the slightest abnormality on their faces.
For Mu Li's seemingly brainless question, they were very clear in their hearts. What the latter refers to is nothing more than the problem of chasing Ye Yun.
From Mu Lu's announcement of a bounty to hunt down Ye Yun, to today, a not short period of time has passed.
Although the conditions given by Wan Bingzhai were generous, and there were also a large number of mercenaries and strong people pouring into the 100,000 mountains to participate in the search for Ye Yun, but the 100,000 mountains could not be broken through by relying on a large number of people.
During this period of time, the mercenaries who were attracted by Mu Lu's bounty and poured into the 100,000 mountains have grown from one million at the beginning to nearly 10 million today.
And under the search of nearly 10 million people, almost all the edges of the 100,000 mountains have been searched, but no trace of Ye Yun has been found at all.
And as this period of time passes, those three echelons have now gone deep into a not shallow distance.
Although the number of the first echelon is small, it has penetrated the most, and has penetrated into the 100,000 mountains and 5,000 miles. The second echelon is much less, but it also goes deeper than 3,000 miles. As for the third echelon, which has the largest number of people but is also the most chaotic in strength, it is naturally the least, and it has just reached two thousand miles.
Although the distance was not too deep, under the search of these people, they still did not find the slightest trace of Ye Yun.
Moreover, the 100,000 mountains are extremely dangerous, the deeper they go, the more dangerous they are, and now a large number of people will die in them every day, and the extremely high mortality rate, coupled with the endless search, makes those mercenaries almost unable to see any hope of success.
So this also made a large number of mercenaries withdraw from the 100,000 Mountains and give up the task of searching for Han Chen.
Even if the conditions given by Wan Bingzhai are extremely attractive, they still can't stop the mercenaries who keep withdrawing, and now, the mercenaries who are still in the 100,000 mountains and continue to search are no longer one in ten, and there are almost 10 million mercenaries left.
For this situation, even Mu Rui, who didn't have much hope for these mercenaries. I couldn't help frowning. If this trend continues, I am afraid that the last million people will not support it for long, and eventually they will give up and continue to search for them, just like everyone else.
For this result, Mu Lu was naturally not satisfied.
Although his strength is good, and there are also a lot of masters, it is a drop in the ocean for the vast and huge 100,000 mountains, and it pours into it. There was not the slightest ripple at all.
And with the danger of 100,000 mountains. I am afraid that all the disciples of the sect he brought out this time will be buried in them.
But even so, Ye Yun may not be able to be arrested.
So he could only hope for those mercenaries, and now the mercenaries are timid. Naturally, he could not sit idly by.
After Mu Lu's voice rang out. There was silence in the lobby. Everyone is looking at their noses and noses, and no one dares to be this rising bird at the beginning.
"Hmph!" The gloomy gaze swept over the people below, and Mu Li's face was slightly cold. He snorted lightly, then turned his gaze to an old man, and said, "Ninth Elder, how should you deal with it?"
What Mu Lu questioned was a slightly thin old man, with a withered face and a look of dying.
After hearing Mu Lu's voice, the Ninth Elder's face suddenly turned bitter, he knew that he could not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, he hesitated slightly, and then spoke: "Sect Master, according to what Elder Xing said, that Ye Yun's strength is only at the level of the Sword Soldier Realm, even if he escapes into the 100,000 Great Mountains, with his strength, I am afraid that he will not be able to go too far at all." ”
As he spoke, the Ninth Elder raised his head slightly, secretly looked at Mu Lu, and checked the expression on the latter's face.
"Go on!" However, the expression on Mu Li's face did not change in the slightest and spit out two words.
The Ninth Elder swallowed and foamed, and after a pause, he continued: "Since this is the case, presumably the location where Ye Yun is must be close to the outer area of the 100,000 Great Mountain. But now, the mercenary has been carefully searched, but not Ye Yun, even if he hasn't even found any trace of this kid. This is clearly unreasonable. ”
"Therefore, the old man guessed whether Ye Yun had not entered the 100,000 Mountains at all. Or have you already left the 100,000 mountains?"
After the voices of the nine elders fell, before Mu Lu could express his opinion, the other elders below all nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, when the Ninth Elder said this, he didn't believe in Xing Mou?" However, at this moment, the torture force suddenly said with a cold face.
At this time, if the punishment is silent, it will be really late. After all, if Mu Lu really believed the words of the Nine Elders, then it meant that he would lie about the truth, and he couldn't afford this charge, not only did he conceal his mistakes and deceive the sect master, but the most important thing was to affect the best chance of searching for Han Chen.
"Elder Xing, the old man didn't say that, but according to what you said at the time, that Ye Yun has mastered a volume of martial arts skills that can display cyan wings, and with that cyan wings, Ye Yun can soar in the sky at an extremely fast speed. Regarding the accusation of punishment, the nine elders did not refute it weakly.
"And you were so caught up in the so-called pale cyan flames that you didn't have time to care about the direction in which the latter was leaving. If Ye Yun didn't enter the 100,000 mountains and fled in a different direction, how would you know the Dao? After all, this possibility may not be possible. ”
"You" Hearing the sharp words of the Ninth Elder, the torture suddenly changed color and sank, and he was about to continue to refute, but as a voice sounded, the painting that came to his mouth couldn't help but be swallowed again.
"That's enough!" said the hoarse and immense, hoarse and immense, from the latter's pocket.
Hearing Mu Li's voice, the people below suddenly fell silent again.
"If Ye Yun had already left the Hundred Thousand Great Mountain, he would definitely attract the attention of other forces along the way, so that under the current situation of those forces, it would be impossible for Ye Yun to leave quietly. Mu Li's incomparably gloomy gaze slowly swept over everyone's faces, and then his gaze retracted, and Fang slowly spoke.
"Ye Yun must still be in the midst of these 100,000 mountains, and I am anxious for you to come here today, hoping that you can get along with each other in a good way to restrain the mercenaries who keep withdrawing. ”
Hearing Mu Lu's words, the people below suddenly couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, and the sound of discussion continued to sound.
Mua paid no attention to the voices of the people, his eyes calm, but they were cold.
However, the cacophony of this discussion did not last long, and finally it was brought up by an old man, who was the sixth elder of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Zhai Inner Sect,
"Sect Master, we think that it is very difficult to let those mercenaries continue to hunt down, very difficult. If you want to keep these mercenaries again, you can only lure them with profit," the old elder said with a respectful face.
Hearing this, Mu Lu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he had already thought of this condition, but now the remuneration is not low, if he continues to increase the remuneration, even with his assets of Wanbingzhai, it will not last long.
Thinking of this, Mu Lu couldn't help but take a light breath.
For Ye Yun's arrest, Mu Lu will not give up no matter what, even if he scatters all the property of Wan Bingzhai, he will not hesitate to do it.
made a decision in his heart, so Mu Lu is not ready to continue this meeting at this moment. However, just as he was about to open his mouth to make the final conclusion and end this meeting, outside the hall, a disciple of the Sword Spirit Realm suddenly walked to the door, bent forward, and said respectfully.
"Sect Master, there is a casual mercenary outside the door asking to see you!"
"Scattered mercenaries?" Hearing the words of this Ten Thousand Soldiers Zhai disciple, Mu Lu's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and he immediately said, "Did he say anything?"
"The disciple had asked, but the other party refused to say, only said that he knew some news about Ye Yun!" In the face of Mu Lu's question, although the disciple of Wan Bingzhai had the strength of the Sword Spirit Realm, in the face of so many Sword King powerhouses, he didn't dare to raise his head, and said in an extremely respectful voice.
"News about Ye Yun?" Hearing this, Mu Lu's eyes suddenly opened, and a dazzling light suddenly burst out from his eyes.
"Bring him in quickly!" Mu Lu said in a very fast tone, his slightly rapid voice and breathing showed that the latter was very excited at this time.
"Yes!" the Ten Thousand Soldiers disciple replied respectfully, and then quickly turned around and retreated. (To be continued......)
