Once the money is paid, the treatment immediately changes.
at the moment.
Gu Qingshan was sitting in the high-end VIP single hall of the mercenary union. The person who received him was the most experienced task planner in the entire mercenary union.
"Sir, the S-level mission you announced is ready. There is only one last bit left. Please confirm."
"What?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The task planner asks, “Do you want to just hire a team, or do you want to assemble a group of people?”
"Don't stick to whether they are in the same team - I only want the top players, five in total." Gu Qingshan said.
"I understand," the mission planner thought for a moment and said, "The reward you gave is twice as high as the average S-level mission, but I want to remind you that the top experts are not It’s easy to gather together. Sometimes they not only look at monetary rewards, but often have other considerations as well, and there is a more important point..."
"What?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"They may be the most skilled, but they may not all abide by the mercenary rules. I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
"Trouble? Just tell me, don't worry about anything."
"Some strong people are notorious, and some strong people especially like to kill people - in fact, our guild is just a loose organization, a public platform, and we can't control them. Do you think you can lower the reward and find some who are not so strong? Someone to take over the mission?"
Gu Qingshan said: "I insist that corresponding labor should be paid reasonably. As for safety issues, you don't have to worry about it - in fact, when it comes to killing people, my reputation may be worse than them."
The task planner looked at him deeply and wanted to persuade him.
"Start looking for someone, time is precious." Gu Qingshan said.
——He is determined to find a group of good players.
If the people we find are not strong enough, and we have to take care of them and save them when the time comes, what's the point of all this?
"Yes, I will go to the lobby to announce the task. The results will be available soon."
The task planner responded and stepped back.
Gu Qingshan waited quietly.
After a while, a loud noise could be heard coming from the direction of the hall.
The exclamations, shouts, and excited discussions lasted for a while and then gradually disappeared.
Gu Qingshan raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The reward I have given is far higher than the average S-level mission, so there should be many people eager to sign up now.
Is there something going on?
——You should also check out the situation yourself. If someone with very special abilities appears, don’t miss it.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingshan stood up, pushed open the door and went straight to the hall.
He was surprised to find that there was no one in the entire hall.
Only a few people remained in the hall, while all other professionals exited the hall and crowded on the street outside.
The whole street was crowded with professionals.
They looked nervously and fearfully into the hall, but no one dared to step in.
"What's going on?" Gu Qingshan couldn't help but ask.
The mission release master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Your Excellency, the leaders of the three major mercenary groups of Blood Kill, Stars, and Dead have united to take over your mission."
Gu Qingshan frowned and said: "I only need five good hands, not so many mercenary groups."
Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the mercenary union:
"Don't worry, we are all good players here. You will definitely get the five strongest subordinates."
All the whispers around him disappeared.
There was dead silence.
No one dared to speak out again.
Gu Qingshan followed the sound and saw three figures approaching from a distance outside the gate of the Mercenary Union.
A thin man with pale skin all over his body and two long daggers hanging from his waist.
A humanoid monster wearing heavy armor, with dozens of planet-like light spots floating above his head.
Walking among them was a woman wearing a gray robe. Although she was beautiful, she exuded a strong desire to die. Gray figures appeared behind her from time to time.
As she passed by, everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to look at her.
Gu Qingshan looked at the three of them with interest.
These three people are indeed very strong. If they are added to their tasks, they will definitely play a very good role.
——provided they do their duty.
The mission release master quietly gave Gu Qingshan a look and telepathically said: "Your Excellency, you must not let these three mercenary groups take your mission. They are the most notorious mercenary groups and no one can control them. "
"Are they strong?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Very strong - but they do all kinds of evil and never talk about credibility. I'm afraid they are interested in something in you this time, so they united together to prevent other strong men from taking on your mission."
After listening, Gu Qingshan nodded thoughtfully.
Other strong men...
He looked into the hall.
The few people who were still in the hall were observing the situation and whispering.
They stared at the three people outside, looking unwilling to be outdone.
But the combination of those three people made them a little afraid after all.
From this point of view, they are the strong ones who are waiting and watching.
Gee, I just want some time to think and have an action team to follow orders. Why is it so difficult?
Perhaps there is a problem in some link?
"Hey, you guys."
Gu Qingshan faced these people and waved: "I need five good players, won't you sign up?"
Before anyone could say anything, the thin man outside suddenly disappeared.
He appeared in front of Gu Qingshan, laughed loudly and said: "You don't need to ask them, we will take care of your business!"
Gu Qingshan shook his head and said: "There are only three of you."
The thin man walked around Gu Qingshan, licked the corner of his mouth excitedly, and said, "The three of us are equivalent to a thousand troops, and with us here, you can't expect anyone to take over your mission."
There is something wrong with this sentence.
Gu Qingshan smiled and asked kindly:
"What is your name?"
"I am the leader of the Blood Killing Mercenary Group, Xue Li. I can help you kill anyone you want to kill. From ancient tree spirits that are thousands of years old to babies under one year old, I can perfectly solve them. said the thin man.
"Blood lick?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Yes." The thin man said.
"I am Gu Qingshan." Gu Qingshan said.
"Gu Qingshan, I've heard of this name. It's rumored that you have a good relationship with the Queen of Thorns in the Nine Billion Layer World." The thin man said.
His eyes kept moving, and after looking at Gu Qingshan thoroughly, he landed on Gu Qingshan's left hand.
He stared at the ring.
Ring of Thorns.
"Well, that's what happened, but let's get down to business now. I can roughly feel your strength. You can join my team and be a scout." Gu Qingshan said without changing his expression.
It seems that I went shopping yesterday and exposed this ring.
These people are really well-informed and even know the Ring of Thorns.
——But having said that, this ring should also be very famous. After all, the wealth it represents can make anyone crazy.
Gu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.
The thin man suddenly smiled, and there was a murderous look on his body.
"Gu Qingshan, I said, we have taken care of your mission. Now you don't need to allocate manpower or anything. You only need to follow our team to the Doomsday Cemetery. We will definitely complete your mission."
He pulled out the dagger and licked it gently with his tongue, his eyes showing crazy killing intent.
Everyone just listened to him continue:
"Or do you want to test my strength first and then decide whether to follow my advice?"
There was dead silence.
The strong men in the hall watched this scene silently.
The mercenaries outside the street seemed to have their throats strangled, and they did not dare to make a sound.
Xue Li's two companions, the leader of the Star Mercenary Group and the leader of the Dead Mercenary Group, were still pacing slowly and were about to enter the mercenary union hall.
Gu Qingshan suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, I will try your quality, but if you die, don't blame me."
Xue Li was startled, then laughed crazily and said, "Hahahaha, I knew you yesterday, so whatever, I'll let you know that you have to be obedient outside."
As he finished speaking, the dagger in his hand suddenly stabbed out!
flutter--
Flesh and blood splattered.
Xue Li's dagger turned around and stabbed hard into his chest.
He was completely stunned.
Everyone was also stunned.
Gu Qingshan kept smiling gently and stood there motionless.
Xue Li gritted his teeth, pulled out the dagger, and tried to move.
But he found that he couldn't move.
——Red Dragon’s Curse·Chaos!
——The original spell of Qinglong: Binding!
"Captain of the Stars, Commander of the Dead, take action quickly!" Xue Li roared.
The female leader of the Dead Mercenary Group had already taken action——
She stretched out her hand and pressed it to the ground, shouting: "Dead people of the River of Death, come out!"
A faint gray shadow of the long river surged on the ground.
Skeletons wearing armor came out of the river one by one. They were holding various weapons, and their bodies were surrounded by the aura of death that lingered all year round.
"Come on!" the female leader ordered.
The skeletons roared and swarmed towards the mercenary union.
At the same time, the humanoid monster wearing heavy armor raised his hand and said: "Stars——"
What spell is it preparing to cast?
Gu Qingshan turned his head and glanced at it lightly.
In an instant, thirty-six sword rays appeared in the void, slashing at the monster like a blooming lotus.
The monster was caught off guard and could only turn its attack to defense, commanding dozens of stars above its head to fall down, and resisting the sword light one after another.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding——
A dense collision sounded, and thirty-six sword rays were blocked by dense starlight.
Between the lightning and flint, seventy-two swords were reborn in the void, followed by one hundred and forty-four swords, two hundred and eighty-eight swords, five hundred and seventy-six swords, and even a thousand sword rays were reborn at the same time.
The monster couldn't resist it at all, and was hit by the sword light so that it rose into the sky. On the 231st sword, all the starlight was chopped into pieces. After being struck by a thousand swords, it was completely cut into nothingness.
Gu Qingshan shook his head and said: "The power of the stars is not used like this. There is no room for you in my five positions."
Bang!
A headless corpse fell in front of him.
Xueli's head flew out and rolled on the street outside the mercenary union, dragging a long trail of blood.
Gu Qingshan put away his sword.
There was silence all around, and people were speechless.
The notorious leaders of the two mercenary groups died on the spot.
It’s ridiculous that they still want to take advantage of that person!
There is now one last person left.
The leader of the mercenary group of the dead, the female mage who summons the dead in the river of death!
Gu Qingshan's eyes fell on her and asked with interest: "The spell you just said mentioned the river of death."
"Yes." The female mage said.
"Does it mean the river of death, the river of life and death?" he asked.
"Yes." The female mage said.
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, but she didn't dare to wipe it away.
She thought for a second, gritted her teeth, and knelt down in front of everyone.
"Can you tell me how the river of life and death allows sentient beings to cycle back and forth?" Gu Qingshan looked at her and asked again.
"When the river of life and the river of death alternate, the living die and the dead live - that's all I understand." The female mage responded respectfully while trembling.
Gu Qingshan thought for a while and praised: "It's a bit strange to say that, well, I only need five people, and you can count as one."
The female mage knelt there with her head lowered, not daring to say a word.
——The death skeletons she summoned lost their desire to attack after entering the mercenary union hall.
All the skeletons put down their weapons and knelt respectfully in a circle around the man.
Like——
It's like he is their master.
The man didn't take action against him either.
He stood among all the skeletons, with deep black flames appearing and disappearing on his body.
In an extremely ancient legend——
He is the god of death in the river of life and death.
