Chapter 274 Unreliable Mercenaries
"I don't know which distinguished guests are from. Welcome to our hot spring town!" Sure enough, at the moment when Xia Jiang subconsciously, the other party immediately asked, and his eyes were still staring at him.
This man is a middle-aged man. From his words and deeds just now, Xia Jiang can see that he has a lot of status in this town and should be second only to the mayor.
"Well, hello, Brother Tu, we are travelers from the south. After passing here, we plan to rest here!" As soon as Xia Jiang listened to the other party's words, he immediately knew that this person was not a villain, so no matter how he aroused the other party's suspicion, as long as he was honest, there would be no misunderstanding.
also looked at Xia Jiang and answered with a cheerful smile, which made the prisoner a little stunned, but he soon showed his doubts and said seriously, "If you are right, there is also a presence of you and several other people in the West Street?" When he said this, his face suddenly changed slightly.
This subtle change did not come out of sight of the two people around them, and almost immediately changed slightly.
Xia Jiang immediately realized that several people in front of him were prepared. In case of any bad behavior, the other party would immediately jointly attack him.
Xia Jiang is naturally not afraid of the few people in front of him, but the current situation makes him know more about the situation of this town. He feels that the reason why this small town in the desert can exist here is probably also has an extremely keen sense of smell. Once he senses that danger is coming, everyone immediately becomes a guardian.
"Don't be nervous. That's just a puppet split of my younger brother. After all, I don't know the depth of this place for the first time, so I can get familiar with it as soon as possible..." Xia Jiang did not say anything about the external incarnation, but only said that it was a puppet. After all, the ability of external incarnation is too strange for people below the level of spiritual practitioners.
When the prisoner heard Xia Jiang's words, he finally seemed to have less doubt, but his face was relaxed, but he reminded him, "There have been rampant sandzei around the town recently. Since the little brother is passing by this place, he must pay attention when traveling!"
"Sand thief?" Xia Jiang has heard it for a long time, but he doesn't know what kind of existence it is in this desert.
"Yes, the sandzei specializes in plundering for a living in this desert, often plunder the small caravans that often pass by, and sometimes launch large-scale plundering and looting villages and towns. Every year in this desert, tens of thousands of people die at the hands of sandzei..." When the prisoner said, he also showed hatred on his face.
As Xia Jiang heard about it, he suddenly lost interest in this sand thief. He thought that this group of people was special. It turned out that they were just some small bandits.
Xia Jiang also nodded politely and thanked the other party for providing him with this information. After that, he wanted to turn around and leave, but he heard the other party answer: "But you don't have to worry, because someone will come to them, and you can stay in the town at ease!"
Xia Jiang naturally heard it and knew that there was a mercenary regiment coming. He had known this for a long time, but the other party's reminder was also good intentions. He also nodded gratefully and then continued to step forward.
After all, the town is not very big. Xiajiang's four teams have traveled through half of the area in a day. By night, he also knew the general situation in the town. He knew that the prisoner Tu was the younger brother of the mayor. He was an assistant to the mayor in the town. Unexpectedly, his prestige was second only to the deputy mayor. Basically, he came forward to any problems encountered in the town.
Then the mayor is an old man who has been closed for a long time and seems to have seen no one for several years.
The deputy mayor is a young man, but he often goes out, like in the current unexpected situation. Naturally, the townspeople can't count on him. Therefore, he can only rely on mercenaries to maintain the safety of the town.
At night, Xia Jiang was originally going to practice quietly, but he didn't expect that the legendary sandzei really attacked. Taking advantage of the night, under the influence of Xia Jiang, they quickly laid an ambush and eyeliner around the town, and then separated several people to do other things separately, and then began to invade the major stores, but Wherever there is money, this moment is the target of their attack.
Aware of this, Xia Jiang knew that these people were really professional thieves as described by the prisoner. Before coming here, I'm afraid they had planned all kinds of details to ensure that they were foolproof.
"It's really rampant..." Xia Jiang couldn't help sighing, and then his figure flashed away from the hotel and quietly came to the roof.
And when he came to the roof, he suddenly saw more than a dozen people rushing out of several inconspicuous huts, and then killed these sandpives without saying a word.
Xia Jiang glanced over and found that these sandzeis were not high in cultivation. They were all at the level of practitioners. Only one or two were major repairers, and they were only juniors. However, the more than ten people who rushed out are all the same practitioners, not to mention the low-level ones.
Although these people suddenly rushed out for a moment and were really fierce, they were quickly restrained by the other party, and then a major repairer came to them.
"Are you mercenaries?" The master rode a black and white two-headed flying dragon, which was quite majestic.
In the face of the great repairman, these people who rushed out to guard the town suddenly changed color one after another, and even retreated, and no one answered each other's questions.
Xia Jiang saw the change in the look of these people and quickly determined that they should indeed be the mercenary regiment mentioned by the prisoner. But at present, these people seem to be a little unreliable?
Sure enough, when Xia Jiang thought so, these people suddenly threw out a magic weapon after slowly retreating. Under the outbreak, they only saw smoke, so that things could not be seen clearly at the scene, but the great repairman also stood in the same place indifferently, looking at the scene that Xia Jiang saw with his own eyes at the same time. Those Unexpectedly, he fled quickly.
Mercenary...
In Xia Jiang's impression, mercenaries are all powerful. Basically, their cultivation is at least at the level of a practitioner, and they are also very honest, but the situation he sees so far makes Xia Jiang feel that he has to reposition the image of "mercenaries" in his heart.
"Another group of fakes hehe..." Looking at the repairman who escaped and didn't chase him, he immediately laughed.
And also in his laughter, Xia Jiang saw a familiar figure. Yes, it was the prisoner slaughter! And seven or eight people who came with him were giants two or three meters tall, obviously the more powerful guards of the town.
Several people were divided into two sides and immediately surrounded the master.
Xia Jiang glanced over and saw that these people were all close to the major repairers, that is to say, it would be a battle of leap-level challenges.
"Dog thief, even if we all work hard today, we will never make you happy!" One man stared at the master recess angrily and roared, holding a huge axe in his hand. The blue veins burst out and he could see the blood flowing rapidly in the blood vessels.
Up to now, Xia Jiang's operation of the power of blood can be said to be a master level, far more than the spiritual practitioner's understanding of the operation of blood, so almost at the moment he looked at the axe giant, he knew that he was taking the route of both strength and speed, and the weapon was the giant axe.
However, when the master saw the posture of these people, he seemed to be a little afraid. He suddenly urged the mount and flew directly high.
When several people saw this, they roared and waved their weapons at each other, but the speed still slowed down and let the other side avoid it.
Flying high, the master not saying a word appeared a white sphere in his hand and threw it directly down.
The white sphere was thrown out, and the arc flashed and soon fell to the top of these people's heads. However, it floated above these people's heads, and then there was no next change as if the silence failed.
But the prisoner below seemed to be well-informed and suddenly changed his color and said, "Bloodthirsty thunderball!"
Several people heard that they looked at each other, and obviously they had never heard of this magic weapon.
I haven't heard of it, but the prisoner did not intend to tell his companions. Unexpectedly, he directly waved a huge axe and cut at the so-called "bloodthirsty thunderball".
The axe of the prisoner slaughter was cut off, and some people immediately found that this axe obviously did not carry any blood power, but was purely based on his personal strength.
In fact, Xia Jiang naturally does not need to see this scene and knows that the bloodthirsty thunderball is a magic weapon that can absorb the power of blood and launch a powerful lightning strike. In short, once someone launches any magic weapon attack on this thunderball that relies on the power of blood, then the thunderball will launch more powerful against the enemy. Strengthen the horizontal lightning attack.
Therefore, the prisoner did not dare to use the power of blood at all, nor did he explain, in an attempt to directly invalidating the magic weapon with an axe.
But obviously, the opponent did not seem to be stupid. Unexpectedly, he waved another staff and went to the prisoner's slaughter point. Suddenly, the silent thunderball suddenly rolled the arc, and then launched a lightning strike at the target.
Boom——
A huge thunderbolt sounded, and a thunderbolt hit the huge axe of the prisoner.
I saw the prisoner slaughter, which was originally powerful. When the huge axe saw the lightning strike, the whole person froze in mid-air in an instant, and his body was directly black and smoking, and the whole person fell heavily from the air.
When several of his companions saw this, they were immediately furious and immediately roared and chopped out into the sky, and all kinds of metal weapons and magic weapons broke out.
But just under their joint launch, the thunderball, which was originally only slightly rolling and spinning, suddenly expanded, from all sizes to basin-sized, and then several huge thunderbolts burst out in an instant.
This...
Xia Jiang couldn't stand it. He felt that in addition to the prisoner slaughter, these giants were all brainless guys. Knowing the effect of the enemy's magic weapon, they had to take the initiative to trigger them, which was simply looking for their own death.
That's right. Compared with the thunder and lightning faced by the prisoner, the power is not great, but now these people's blood power has directly increased the power of the thunderball several times. Several people's cultivation absolutely can't resist this blow.
At this time, Xia Jiang knew that he had to take action, otherwise none of these giants would survive.
