Chapter 17: Moving Forward (Part 1)

Canghong no longer thought about anything. When Salin killed the priest of the Holy See, he should part ways with him. It’s too late to say anything now. Isn’t it just killing the Red Line Thieves? There’s no worries about debts, and there are too many lices. Anyway, I can’t make it to Skogenya anymore, so I can’t just let it go, and everything is left to fate.
He took off the sword blade from behind, took a deep breath of the bloody air, and said to Salin: "Master Merlin, please make a little trouble. Protect Sarah, I will protect you. From now on, the mission income will be half of each person."
"Very fair!" Salin answered while searching out the archer's receipts and gold coins.
Cang Hong has only two people left, and his combat effectiveness is not as good as Salin and Shika. Now Cang Hong’s only reliance is the secret of his possession of the ruins. What Salin wants most is this ruins.
"Do you need a rest?" Cang Hong saw that Salin had used that magic, for fear that it would be just a one-time deal, but he would have to do it completely. If Salin was done, he would also be in trouble.
"No need, let's go and have a look." Salin held the third-level magic core again in his hand. After several absorptions, this magic core was no longer valuable and was about to be scrapped.
Such a third-level magic core is worth 150 gold coins. In just half a day, Salin used one. It is conceivable how much a money-burning profession a magician is.
The battle in the woods ahead was in full swing, which meant that the strength of both sides was close, otherwise it would end silently. The hunted team had such strength to this point, which was impressive.
These humans fought on the territory of the monsters, and caused such a big stir. All the nearby monsters ran away and had no intention of coming in and getting involved.
Corpse everywhere!
Salin did not expect that the battle ahead was so fierce that every few steps, a corpse could be seen. Canghong's face became strange. He bent down, carefully examined the corpse, and said to Salin: "All the vultures have been destroyed. This person is the captain of the Centenary Team."
"Look for the corpse of the magician!" What Salin is most concerned about is whether the magician hidden in the vulture dies. It is best to die. No matter who kills it, it is considered to be the blame for him.
"This seems to be it." Canghong picked up a finger, which had a divine text on it, and her nails were very long.
"Mad believer!" Salin finally had a bit of profound meaning, and such basic knowledge was not inferior to Canghong at all. Many mad believers had tattoos all over their bodies, and they would not even let go of secret places. Perhaps the mad believers practiced less hard than ascetic monks, but these psychiatrists were much more powerful.
"There are also here." Shika shouted.
Obviously, this crazy believer has been broken into pieces. His body parts are everywhere, not more than half a pound of weight.
"It was done by the regular army." Cang Hong's voice was low, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.
"Regular Army?" Salin was also surprised. The so-called regular army refers to an army among the four empires that are only loyal to the royal family. The combat effectiveness of the regular army is not comparable to that of mercenaries. The question is, how could the regular army appear in the territory of adventurers? The chaotic swamp has no military value, and there is no territory of half a royal family.
"Look." Cang Hong took off the coat of a corpse, revealing the dark armor inside.
"This is a fine steel fish scale armor. Except for the regular army, any force dares to use it, which is like a rebellion."
Salin also bent down, tear off a piece of rag, and wiped off the blood from the corpse's face. His black hair, black eyes, a slightly ordinary face, a not too high nose, and although his facial features were a little distorted, he could still tell his difference from the Skochenya.
"This is a man from the Qinyin Empire!"
"Do you want to take a detour?" Cang Hong knew that she had been involved in more than one trouble this time. The members of the Vulture Mercenary Group obviously had another task and temporarily took on clues from the Red Line Thieves Group. The target of the Red Line Thieves Group was actually the regular army of the Qin Yin Empire.
Now that the people of the Vulture Mercenary Group have been destroyed, it seems that there is no need for me to move forward.
Salin also hesitated. The subordinates of the divine envoys in the Vulture Mercenary Group were all dead. If he turned around quickly, he would temporarily get rid of the Holy See. But then he thought that if he could help the regular army of the Qin Yin Empire, he would not have no relatives when he arrived in the Qin Yin Empire.
"Canghong, the ruins may not be rewarded, but there are real benefits in front of you."
Canghong nodded and began to search for money and equipment on the corpse. For the mercenaries, they were used to doing this and would not have any psychological repulsion.
The Red Line Thieves Group has a wealthy wealth. If you can get a bargain, it is more realistic than exploring ruins. After all, there may be nothing in the ruins. The Red Line Thieves Group will have a large number of receipts. The average thieves group will not do this, and the Red Line Thieves Group is also considered a maverick.
After packing up the spoils on the corpse, Shika placed Sarah between the two corpses and said, "Hold on, I'll be back in a while."
Sarah nodded, and Shika wiped blood on Sarah's face, disguised as a corpse, and walked with Salin in the direction of fierce fighting.
This is a clearing in the woods. The land under your feet suddenly became dry. More than a dozen people were entangled, and the sword energy was scattered. Cang Hong rushed into the battle group with one horse first, and the sword blade spear directly attacked a member of the thieves group.
The two sides were dressed clearly, and the difference could be seen at a glance. The people in the thief group were wearing leather armor, and all the people being chased were cloth clothes, and the cloth clothes were covered with fine steel fish scale armor.
There are still 12 people in the Red Line Thieves Group, and only 4 swordsmen are left in the team that are being hunted.
Salin's perception quickly swept across the battlefield and saw the situation clearly. The Red Line Thieves Map had an absolute advantage in numbers. The four swordsmen who were hunted were divided by the people of the thieves group and fought hard. The strongest swordsman, holding a strange long sword, resisted the attacks of the six thieves.
The sword blade of this Qin Yin swordman is four feet long, just like a heavy sword, but the sword body is relatively average, and three sword ridges are raised on the body of the sword to increase the strength of the sword. Is this the most powerful Qin Yin eight-sided sword in the Qin Yin Empire?
The sword was extremely sharp and was full of sword energy in the hands of Qin Yin swordman. The six thieves who besieged him were unable to get close to him. The swordsman holding Qin Yin's eight-faced sword was now angry and he was restrained by these six thieves and could not rescue his companions. Seeing his subordinates being killed one by one, he was powerless.
Even more shocked and angry than him was Cang Hong. After Cang Hong rushed into the battle group with a sword blade spear, she found that Salin and Shika did not take action. Although the sword blade spear is a must-learn instrument for mercenaries, Cang Hong was not easy to use. His enemy was a heavy armored swordsman, and he was the only guy in this thief group wearing metal armor.
The heavy armored swordsman turned around and knocked out Canghong's sword blade spear, and the heavy sword swirled and slashed it down.
Cang Hong raised the sword blade spear and held the heavy sword to slash. The gun rod wrapped in metal wire was almost cut off by this sword, and it was about to be scrapped. The heavy armored swordsman ignored the heavy sword behind him, raised the heavy sword and slashed it again. The frequency of this continuous slash was astonishingly fast. Cang Hong's weapon was not easy and there was no room for counterattack, so he could only continue to resist.
Could that little wizard want to harm him?
Canghong's thought came up in his heart, and a coldness arose behind his back. He regretted it, and shouldn't have shown murderous intent to the magician. He remembered what the leader once said to him - if you are not sure of killing a magician, don't let him know what you think. Because magicians are the most vengeful group of people. If you offend a magician, it is far more terrifying than offending the emperor.
Salin had seen the situation clearly. The strongest man in the Red Line Thieves Group did not participate in the siege, but stood aside and scooped the formation. The thief leader was holding a dagger in his hand. The dagger was slightly longer and somewhat close to the dagger. He had a black cloth covering his face, and there was a trace of red thread on the edge of the black cloth.
Salin's perception swept past, and only this thief felt it, and he looked at this side, staring at the invisible tree of Salin. His perception was so sharp that he was equivalent to an intermediate swordsman.
Intermediate sword masters are level 5 professions, with relatively powerful sword energy and combat power equivalent to level 4 magicians.
The sword master is not an archer. If he approaches him, he will die. Salin felt a little scared, but more excited. For him, this intermediate sword master is not impossible to kill. He is a magician with inheritance and understands that the profession level is just a reference.
Before the sword energy cannot attack from the body, low-level mages can also kill advanced swordsmen and sword masters. Only the sword saint is truly invincible. What's more, Sika is right beside him. Although Sika's level is unknown, at least it is not a problem to block this sword master. Half of Salin's confidence comes from Sika. A magician with Caucasian warriors will increase his combat power.
Salin slowly walked out from behind the tree, with 6 bubbles floating around his body, which was his limit. At the same time, he supported 6 water-width shields, occupying half of his mental power consumption. If it continues to increase, he will have no way to control the attack magic.
The thief holding a dagger saw this scene and his mouth trembled. At the same time, he maintained six magicians who defended against magic? Could it be that this is a great magician?
Although the intermediate sword master was ranked equal to the level 4-level magician in terms of combat power, he really faced the great magician. The intermediate sword master could not be an opponent no matter what he said.
Salin smiled, raised his finger, and gently tapped it. A white line shot out, hitting the heavy sword of the heavy armored swordsman.
With a tingling sound, the heavy sword was made into a gap by the ice cone, and a layer of white frost was covered with. Cang Hong keenly threw away the sword blade spear, drew out the triangular sword, and stabbed the heavy armored swordman at the waist.
The Triangle Sword itself is a weapon used for auxiliary troops, specially designed to break the armor. In this thorn, the armor of the heavy armored swordsman was as fragile as paper. With a puff, blood was already seen on his waist.
Salin didn't chant spells, and the magic he had prepared was released one by one, without stopping for a moment.
A white ring with a diameter of about 4 meters suddenly appeared on the ground, and the level 1 water magic - Frost Formation.
This is a semi-assisted magic that can reduce the target's movement speed by 80%, and it also has a certain freezing effect. If a person without sword energy is in the frost array for more than 1 minute, he will freeze to death.
