Chen Xing had two dreams in a row and was mentally exhausted. He slept until the afternoon of the next day before waking up.
After waking up, he carefully recalled his dream last night. Memory recall was stimulated again, but his impression of "Lan Country" was very weak.
There is indeed a mercenary country in my memory, but it doesn't seem to be called that.
Storm Mercenary Group, New World, Lan...
Lan?
Yes, it’s Lan!
Chen Xing suddenly remembered that Tie Nuo's adventure to fight the big devil in his previous life was related to the word "LAN".
At that time, he was just a squad leader and his status was too low to know the details, but he heard an explanation from other people.
That is to say, not long ago, a mysterious man came to the camp, talked secretly with Tienuo for one night, and left the next day.
Then Tienuo made a desperate move and led everyone to the end, which was probably related to this mysterious man.
The only thing he heard about this mysterious man was that there was a big "LAN" character behind him.
So who is behind this Lan Kingdom? Who is the person behind the world's number one storm mercenary group?
All of this is a huge mystery to him. But there are too few clues. Wait until you return to the signal coverage area and ask Sora carefully.
The Lan Kingdom has not yet appeared, but it is not difficult to know the situation of the Storm Mercenary Group. You know, he is the second owner of Mingwang.
Coming out of the tent, Chen Xing found that most of the people in the camp were missing. At first, he thought Wu Erxiong had taken people out to collect the goods, but he had not returned yet in the evening.
He asked a random person and was surprised.
This morning, while Chen Xing was still sleeping, a group of Iron Fist mercenaries came to the camp and said that a huge underground maze was discovered in the world fragment. Count Iron Fist recruits engineers with a daily salary of twenty gold coins. Their main task is to dig the underground palace.
When Wu Erxiong heard this, he happily followed them with his people. Twenty gold coins is equivalent to one month's salary of a member of the edge town defense team. The temptation is great, as you can imagine. There is no danger in working as an engineer. All you have to do is dig earthwork, and the money can be said to be free.
But after witnessing what happened to Captain Baishui and reading his diary, Chen Xing already knew what kind of person Earl Iron Fist was, and he was afraid that Wu Erxiong would be in trouble.
The daily salary of twenty gold coins is considered a heavy reward, but with the style of the Iron Fist mercenary, is it possible for such a good thing to happen? It must be an extraordinary danger to pay such a high price.
After a few days of getting along, Chen Xing still had a good impression of this silly guy. Watching the other party jumping into the fire pit was still a bit unbearable. In addition, he also wanted to see what Count Iron Fist wanted to do and what was going on in that underground palace.
He can teleport and has quasi-lord level strength, so he doesn't have to worry about escaping.
He himself is a person prone to agility, and with the White Wolf King, ordinary vehicles cannot catch up with him, and there is an army of goblins blocking him. Even if Count Iron Fist and several of his friends were in front of him, he was confident of escaping unscathed.
Wu Erxiong set out in the morning, and now seven or eight hours have passed. He doesn't know where he has been taken.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing asked the people staying at the camp for a set of Bear Hug Tuan combat uniforms, and the Dragon Scale Guards took them off and threw them into the storage space.
After changing clothes, there is a white bear head on the chest, making him look like a member of the Bear Hug Group.
"Help me pay attention to the space cracks nearby. I want to go in again."
After nightfall, Chen Xing ordered the remaining members of the Bear Hug Group to disperse and look for nearby space cracks.
At half past eight o'clock in the evening, I finally found a randomly opened entrance and entered in a flash.
After searching for several hours, Chen Xing encountered a group of Iron Fist mercenaries and walked over on his own initiative.
"Brothers, I am a member of the Bear Hug Group, and I am working with the leader. I didn't pay attention on the way, peeed, and got separated from the group..." The Iron Fist mercenary looked at Chen Xing suspiciously. There was some vigilance in his eyes. Chen Xing had a naive smile on his face, like a migrant worker who had just arrived in the city.
"drop……"
The Iron Fist mercenary used a black watch to check Chen Xing's identity. He was only a quasi-elite, and he was immediately relieved.
Little did he know that Chen Xing's black watch could adjust his identity at will. The spiritual power of low-level evolvers has not yet reached the strength to form psychic tentacles outside the body, so they cannot sense external psychic fluctuations. Several Iron Fist mercenaries cannot tell that Chen Xing is cheating.
In this way, Chen Xing successfully hid the truth from the other party and followed a few people to the construction site.
After walking for about half an hour, they came to an area illuminated by searchlights.
It was a huge pit, hundreds of meters in diameter. Looking down, a small number of mechas and a large number of mercenaries as workers were digging below.
Standing on the edge of the pit was a row of Iron Fist mercenaries guarding the ground with guns pointed downwards, seemingly monitoring the workers below.
There are many Iron Fist mercenaries in the pit, waving whips, constantly yelling and beating the mercenaries who are workers, forcing them to work, and beating them severely if they resist the slightest.
Chen Xing couldn't help but frowned. This was not hiring workers. They were treating people as slaves.
The Iron Fist mercenary who brought him here had a sarcastic look on his face, probably laughing at him for sending him here to work as a coolie.
"Go get a shovel over there and get to work!" The Iron Fist mercenary who looked like a captain waved his whip, and the tip of the whip made a crisp sound. Finally, the mask that was completely disguised in private revealed the ferocious fangs, and he yelled, "Hurry up, why don't you wait for me to whip you!"
Chen Xing pretended to be honest, picked up a shovel on the ground, then slid down the edge of the pit and shoveled the soil along with the digging crowd.
Judging from the size of the hole, it seems that it has been dug for at least a week, otherwise it would not be so big and deep.
"Brother, how long have you been here?" Chen Xing approached the mercenary next to him while shoveling the soil.
"It's been several days. These idiots are simply inhumane!" The mercenary stopped what he was doing and became a little excited. "You tricked me into coming here, even to take a drink of water..."
Before he finished speaking, a sharp scream suddenly sounded from behind, and then the mercenary screamed and fell to the ground with a whip, with a bloody mark on his neck.
"I have the energy to chat, but not the energy to work!" An Iron Fist mercenary rushed up and was whipped.
The person involved was beaten until he lay on the ground with his head in his hands. The Iron Fist mercenary's whip had nowhere to go, so he kicked him with his feet and kicked hard on his waist and eyes with his hard leather boots. Soon the poor mercenary stopped moving and lay there motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The surrounding mercenaries looked over with resentment on their faces. The Iron Fist mercenary picked up his whip and whipped it, yelling and yelling, "What are you looking at? If you don't get to work quickly, are you looking for death?"
No one dared to resist, they all went back to their work. The Iron Fist mercenary spat at the man lying on the ground and walked away.
Chen Xing did not chat anymore, but moved his position while shoveling dirt among the crowd, looking for Wu Erxiong.
Finally, when the shift was over, Chen Xing found Wu Erxiong in the temporary work shed.
"Sir, how did you..."
When Wu Erxiong saw Chen Xing, his eyes were as big as bells and he almost screamed. Chen Xing quickly made a gesture of silence. This was the most commonly used gesture among mercenaries. Wu Erxiong immediately shut up, glanced left and right at the Iron Fist mercenaries standing guard outside the work shed, and whispered, "Why are you here?"
Although Wu Erxiong clearly knows Chen Xing's strength, there is more than one lord level here. In addition to the Earl of Iron Fist, there are at least three powerful saints.
"I'm here to check on the situation and check on you by the way." Chen Xing said with a grin.
Wu Erxiong suddenly said with a bitter face, "Oh, my brother, you are still making fun of me at this time." He lowered his head, shook it, and sighed, "I am really obsessed with money. Not only did I involve myself, but I also It hurts the brothers..."
"These dogs eat people without spitting out their bones, so they will definitely lose their wages." Wu Erxiong said with a painful look on his face.
"Is it just wages?" Chen Xing reminded.
"Then what else can be done?" Wu Erxiong asked subconsciously.
"This is not a third-rate mercenary group with a good reputation..." Chen Xing hinted.
When Wu Erxiong thought about it carefully, his expression suddenly changed. He looked around and quietly made a "cut" gesture, "You mean, they will kill people and silence them?"
"What do you think?" Chen Xing asked.
Wu Erxiong took a deep breath, cupped his fists and said, "Brother, save me."
"To be honest, I don't know how much I can help." Chen Xing put away his smile and said seriously, "When I find the opportunity, I will create chaos, and then you will run away on your own. Whether you can run away is your own ability, and whether you can run away is up to you. It’s your own life if you fall.”
Wu Erxiong opened his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Chen Xing's gesture.
"Listen to me first."
Wu Erxiong nodded, and Chen Xing continued, "Reveal the situation as much as possible. I believe that few of the people who can come here are fools. As long as everyone understands that wages are impossible, the result of waiting is death. If there is such chaos, more people will resist, and your chances of escaping will be greater."
"If you are lucky enough to escape, help me find the people from the White Water Mercenary Group, tell them that their leader has been killed, and let them go home."
"Okay!" Wu Erxiong nodded helpfully.
"Also, if you can't survive in the future, you can go to Orchid Town in the Red Dragon Principality to find me, just ask Chen Erliu from the Hanged Skull Alliance..."
Before Chen Xing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Erxiong, "Orchid Town, is that zombie paradise?"
"You also know?" This time it was Chen Xing's turn to be surprised.
"Of course, Zombie Paradise is so popular. How many of us in the Red Kingdom don't know about it now?" Wu Erxiong said excitedly, "My younger brothers and sisters are all clamoring to go and play. I also told them that this trip is a solid one." I took them to play. Unexpectedly, the big boss is right in front of me..." He rubbed his fingers and showed a mean smile, "Do you have any free tickets?"
"No." Chen Xingxing said with a straight face, "When you reach my territory, you will be slaughtered by me."
"Yes, yes, my lord is right..." Wu Erxiong nodded quickly and smiled, "When I get to your territory, you will treat me like a pig and kill me with all your strength. Don't be polite to me."
The two looked at each other and smiled. The rest time ended quickly. Chen Xing and Wu Erxiong took shovels and went into the pit to continue digging.
"What's going on now? Why are you digging here?" Chen Xing asked while shoveling the soil.
"I came a few hours earlier and made some general inquiries. It seems that the first batch of people who went down encountered a trap and the entrance to the underground palace collapsed. And it didn't collapse a little, but a large part, so they changed the Dig down from the top and dig directly through the middle part." Wu Erxiong replied, glancing at the nearby supervisor from time to time.
"Hey, sir?"
While Chen Xing and Wu Erxiong were talking, a man suddenly came up to them.
"My lord, is that you?"
Chen Xing turned around and saw that it was his last transaction partner, the leader of the ragtag mercenary group.
"It's me, Zeng Daming." The other party was surprised, but for fear that Chen Xing wouldn't remember, he quickly said his name.
"Shh..." Wu Erxiong said silently.
Zeng Daming subconsciously shrank his head and looked at the supervisor next to him.
"If anything happens, we'll talk about it later." Chen Xing said in a deep voice.
Zeng Daming nodded quickly, without stopping, shoveling the soil as hard as he could without attracting the attention of the supervisor.
"I dug it, I dug it!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The searchlight from above focused on it, illuminating large square bricks.
