Chapter 287 Assisting in completing the task
"Brother Jiang, I'm taking Ziqi over there..." At the beginning of the mission, Xia Yu took Xia Ziqi to one side.
Xia Jiang nodded and also signaled to separate from Xia Yuner. He gathered with Luo Xiong.
"Brother Xia, are you blessed? Are they all your wives and partners?" Luo Xiong swept several women and half jokingly.
Xia Jiang smiled and didn't take this. He only said seriously, "Luo Xiong, let's talk about it. Why don't you run your team well, but come here alone as a mercenary?" In fact, Xia Jiang also knows that it is indeed important to get the approval of the Mercenary Kingdom Association to make his mercenary regiment bigger, but he also wants to see what Luo Xiong said.
But obviously, Luo Xiong's situation is not what Xia Jiang thought. He only heard, "Brothers don't know. I have been alone for a long time, and there are no brothers!" While talking, he also sighed.
"Oh?" Xia Jiang couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't know what was going on.
"It's not that I, the head of the regiment, didn't care about it. I went to the college to practice and didn't lead a good team. As soon as they heard that a ownerless kingdom was recruiting soldiers at a high price, they went there one after another. It's meaningless for me to stay in the college alone..."
"Lordless Kingdom?"
Xia Jiang couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He didn't know it before, but after such a long time of war in the State of Xia, how could he not know? Isn't that the country where the army of Xia Xingcheng invaded them from the northwest? After that, their Xia Kingdom was destroyed. Although the Yin Kingdom and the Star City Lord of the ownerless country suffered a lot, they could recover and even become stronger within a year or two as long as they were willing.
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang immediately knew that Luo Xiong's brothers must have been given by the star city owner** and went there one after another to become a regular army of the kingdom.
Understand that Xia Jiang can't help feeling sad for Luo Xiong. His loss is small, and losing a group of brothers is the most important thing.
Brother Luo, you don't have to be sad. If the mercenary regiment wants to be bigger, getting the recognition of the kingdom here is the most critical step. Maybe you will be blessed by misfortune. Will this be a big turn in the fate of the brothers?"
Obviously, listening to Xia Jiang's words, Luo Xiong also threw away those unpleasant feelings in an instant and became open-minded and said, "That's right, and I, Luo Xiong, swear that I will make a name in this mercenary world in the future!"
Listening to Luo Xiong's firm tone, Xia Jiang couldn't help but have a hunch that there was definitely one person like him in the mercenary world.
......
At this moment, more than 30 people in the 11th Regiment are also carrying out the first step of the task, and the 10 test groups adjacent to the distance are inadvertently scanning here.
Although as a guild test mercenary regiment, there is only a code name difference between the regiment and the regiment, and there is no cooperation between them, as a senior management, they know that there is still a lot of competition between them.
Let's talk about the 10 and 11 test regiments, which of which of the two regiments has a high pass rate and excellent qualifications, the more people are officially recruited by the mercenary regiment, which means that the comprehensive strength of that regiment is stronger. In this way, if you are strong, you will naturally get priority in anything in the future.
At this moment, the two captains of the 10th test group came to one place and were looking at the 11th regiment.
"The goal of our group this time is not only to achieve the top five results, but also to select a few extremely excellent talents!" A captain looked at the newcomers of the 11th Regiment and glanced at them quickly.
The captain on one side also swept and immediately nodded and said, "That's right. Like 789 and their regiments, they have false names. In fact, except for the number, the qualifications of newcomers selected every time are not as good as ours..."
"Yes, just like this 11th regiment, you see, there are a lot of them, but how many of them are really qualified? I'm afraid there is none!"
The two continued to talk. At this moment, they seemed to be very disdainful. It seemed that in their eyes, the 11th Regiment could not be compared with them at all. Of course, it has always been the same.
At this moment, all the people of the 11th Regiment are trying their best to find out the traces. No one is extremely eager to show themselves and do not want to be eliminated.
However, Xia Jiang seems very relaxed. For exploring this kind of thing, it is simply his specialty, and it is naturally easy to find all kinds of traces.
It was also half a day later that the whole team finally completed this task, cleaning up this area extremely cleanly, and finally it was time to select outstanding talents.
However, to everyone's surprise, the captain responsible for invigating their mission did not mean to expose the excellent candidates, but directly reported the people who were eliminated in this mission.
"After half-day observation by the captain, it was found that the performance of several newcomers was relatively lacking, and these people could only wait for the next test before working hard..."
Then, as the captain reported the elimination of personnel, it was also an immediate start to announce the second step of the test: let everyone participate in assisting the team to carry out formal tasks.
It was also here that Xia Jiang knew that there were more than 1,000 people in the 11 test group, and this time their mission was to go to a wild jungle to assist the team in hunting and catch several colorful-tailed foxes.
Because it is not a regular group, the team seems a little hungry in choosing tasks. For tasks like this, the task is very troublesome, but the reward is not high. However, people with bright eyes can see that this kind of task can just train these newcomers well.
Besides, the "color-tailed fox" to be captured in this mission is actually an extremely powerful wild beast. This wild beast itself is not very destructive, but they have extremely super intelligent. If humans want to catch them, it will naturally be extremely difficult.
It is rumored that those powerful color-tailed foxes once made tens of thousands of human teams lost in the wild forest, and finally the whole army was destroyed for unknown reasons.
This time, Xia Jiang and other new students are going to assist the big team to catch the color-tailed fox. Their goal is seven. As long as they can catch seven, the team can get ten spiritual crystals, and the team will also gain credit and experience, and enhance their overall popularity and prestige.
"Listen, your main task is to assist, so you can make your own suggestions as a performance for the team..." The captain began to guide everyone to this test.
After hearing this, Xia Jiang immediately analyzed it and secretly felt that more than 1,000 of them scattered to search for a large jungle. This method can only be regarded as the most basic hunting. It is good for ordinary beasts, but it is certainly useless for the colorful-tailed fox.
After thinking about it, he immediately made a suggestion: "First make a plan, and then let the team divide it into several groups. Only by taking turns and tacit appearance according to the plan can you effectively catch the smart color-tailed fox!"
Xia Yuner also quickly echoed with Xia Jiang's suggestion: "It is necessary for a reconnaissance team. If you want to arrest them, you can't startle the snakes. You must first master the information of the color-tailed fox, and then find a way to make them neglect prevention, and then attack..."
When several captains heard their suggestions, they suddenly felt a bright future, but when they thought of the investigation, they couldn't help frowning: "The color-tailed fox is famous for their sensitive sense of smell. They can detect the human breath thousands of meters away. I think the investigation itself is already shocking the snake, right?"
When I heard the captain say, several newcomers quickly gave their own suggestions.
Xia Jiang didn't take it seriously when he heard other people's suggestions. On the contrary, the flaws of those suggestions were even bigger. He immediately said, "Then let the team that has the ability to cover up their own breath sneak in, so that they can avoid the vigilance of the color-tailed fox."
While talking, Xia Jiang also showed his hidden ability a little.
When everyone saw Xia Jiang's figure slowly disappearing, they also admired his ability a little and seemed to have some ability.
However, it is obvious that Xia Jiang is not the only one who will hide. Suddenly, some people also like to hide, and they are also sloppy and difficult to distinguish.
"But it's just that the eyes can't see, and the color-tailed fox can still feel your breath!" The captain had to point out the problem.
Xia Jiang heard that he also swept through these hidden group members and said, "That can make everyone disguise themselves as ordinary human hunters - everyone is painted with the smell of various giant beasts, so that the team can sneak into the jungle without causing the beasts to be alert..."
Obviously, Xia Jiang's suggestion was extremely bold. Some people immediately retorted and felt that they were simply afraid that the beasts would not know their arrival.
However, a captain was very interested in this and said, "I don't think what this little brother said should be worth a try!"
At a glance, isn't Xia Jiang the captain who selected them from the candidate hall? It was also the other party who supported him so much that he couldn't help but think of the outstanding performance of his previous task of cleaning up traces. Obviously, the other party found that he was powerful.
In fact, with Xia Jiang's current strength, it is really not difficult to pass layers of tests to become a qualified mercenary, but he doesn't want to be so public. He wants to keep a low profile as a newcomer step by step. At the same time, he also takes Xia Yu and others to experience this feeling and exercise them.
At this moment, with the support of this captain, several captains also nodded one after another, saying that they could have a try.
Immediately, several captains took out some beasts that had been hunted from the storage ring and piled them up. These hidden new and old members immediately ran into it and rolled around, stained with a lot of beasts, so that these captains did not rely on their eyes and were about to think that they were beasts based on their judgment of the breath.
Needless to say, Xia Jiang naturally, as the captain of this reconnaissance team, took them to dive into the jungle.
Entering the jungle, Xia Jiang restrained his breath and took the first to explore the breath and look for the trace of the target. After a while, he locked several regional points, concluded that there was a color-tailed fox, and then signaled others not to come close, leaving only a few people responsible for locking.
Almost ten minutes later, under the command of Xia Jiang, he finally found seven regional points that existed in the color-tailed fox, and then passed the message to the team.
After receiving the information, the team immediately began to assign several teams to carry out accurate joint raids from the sky and from the ground. In the raid, it was the team that jointly used the boundary, locked the whole area, and then quickly narrowed the scope. At the same time, the air raid team released various large nets on several regional points, not only to capture, but also to drive away the colorful-tailed fox, so that it gathered towards the center, and then the captain-level main team advanced to it. Explosive arrest.
Such a series of tacit cooperation is really foolproof.
However, in the end, it was a little surprising that with such close cooperation, the most marginal color-tailed fox was allowed to escape, so that only six were hunted.
Seeing this situation, Xia Jiang did not regret it, but was happy, because in this way, he not only made a prominent performance, but also did not look so magical, and more in line with his low-key style.
Needless to say, the team repeated their old skills and selected a quiet area to start the second capture. With their previous experience, this time they were more relaxed and quickly caught another one and successfully completed the task.
