Mercenaries in Two Worlds

♂』The man called Vice Li raised his sword and laughed at Zhang Qian, “Haha, this toad was still so noisy before it died. Brothers, stop wasting time talking to them. After we kill them all, we still need to go find spirit herbs.”

"Haha, good!" came a burst of cheers.

Zhang Qian, indignant, shouted at the other party, "Have you ever seen such a handsome toad?"

"Hey, this idiot thinks he's handsome. Are there any guys around here who like handsome men?"

"Xiao Liu isn't here; he's the only one who likes this kind of thing."

"Hahaha…"

Zhang Qian was extremely nervous and could only try to relax by cracking jokes. He had no idea whether he could escape.

Half of these dozen or so people had Foundation Establishment cultivation, and they didn't take Zhang Qian and his companion seriously at all.

"Run!" Zhang Qian saw the Three Swords Mercenary Group rushing towards him with various weapons, and without saying a word, he grabbed Wang Er and ran straight into the valley.

Wang Er hurriedly shouted, "There are green dragon lizards inside! It's a dead end!"

"Then tell me, which way you run, you're going to die anyway."

Wang Er was a careless person; in moments of panic, he could only follow Zhang Qian closely.

"Run? Where are you running to?"

"Even if a mouse knows it's going to die, it will still run away when it sees a cat."

"Haha, that's a good point."

Li, the vice-captain of the Three Swords Mercenary Group, had the highest cultivation level, nearly reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment. With a leap, he shortened the distance between himself and Zhang Qian by half. Before he even landed, he used the force of his fall to slam his sword into the floor, and a crack rapidly spread towards Zhang Qian and Li.

Zhang Qian's senses were sharp enough that he kicked Wang Er, and the two of them fell to one side, just avoiding the crack.

Li Fu's goal was not to kill them in one strike, but to slow down Zhang Qian and Wang Er.

Zhang Qian and Wang Er's faces turned a little pale. This delay allowed the enemy to catch up even more closely, and several of them had already started ranged attacks, throwing fireballs, water balls, and the like at them.

"Take it easy, can't you see the Jade Grass ahead?" Zhang Qian shouted as he ran down the slope in a moment of desperation.

"You dare to talk nonsense? No, is that really the Frost Jade Grass?" Vice Li exclaimed.

"Mine, mine!" The people who followed ran straight for the Jade Grass, leaving Vice Li behind.

There were all sorts of noises behind them, but after seeing the Cold Jade Grass, they all unanimously abandoned Zhang Qian and his companion.

Compared to killing two insignificant little bugs, this solid reward of a hundred spirit stones is much more practical. Even without a mission, picking a single Cold Jade Grass would earn the mercenary group a large reward. If they had the chance to secretly keep one or two, they could become rich overnight.

This was the plan Zhang Qian came up with in the face of danger. He could only rely on the green dragon lizard to seek a glimmer of hope in the chaos. Even if he couldn't escape, he could at least take a few people down with him.

This is the ruthlessness hidden in his personality. In the past, when he played fighting games and there was no way to go, he would fight to the death to kill one person at a time. If he couldn't kill one person, he would at least take away a few drops of blood from the other person.

Seeing the trees in the middle of the valley swaying in the wind, Zhang Qian felt a pang of anxiety. Not knowing how deep the ravine ahead was, he jumped down first.

"Jump down, quick!" Hearing his shout, Wang Er obediently followed him and jumped into the ditch in front of him.

Fortunately, it was just a small ditch a little over three meters deep. Although he was a bit disheveled, at least he wasn't injured.

"Gah~" The members of the Three Swords Mercenary Group rushed towards the Frost Jade Grass. Before they could get close, a deafening howl came, as if it would tear the clear blue sky apart.

With three consecutive "poof" sounds, the three members of the Three Swords Mercenary Group were swept away in a streak of red light.

The once noisy Three Swords mercenary group instantly became deathly silent. The terrifying atmosphere seemed to freeze time. Even Zhang Qian and his companion, who were hiding in the ditch, felt the terrifying fluctuations and got goosebumps all over their bodies. Xiao Hui was even more straightforward; he closed his eyes and fainted immediately.

"Ah~~" A scream broke the chilling silence.

A group of people burst into panicked screams, some of which were mixed with sobs.

The Green Dragon Lizard was notorious for its rage. Whether it was because it had just swallowed a Thunder Eagle and its stomach was full, or whether human flesh was truly sour and unpalatable as the Purple Moon Lion had said, all of it was reduced to puffs of blood mist by the immense force of its tongue. The Green Dragon Lizard reveled in its post-meal slaughter, killing with every strike. In a short time, nearly ten members of the Three Swords Mercenary Group had perished, leaving only the four most powerful members scattered and fleeing.

With another sharp cry, the green dragon lizard slowly revealed its massive body, its two large, curved horns crackling with tiny lightning bolts that darted about like snakes, and its green scales shimmering in the light.

The green dragon lizard stretched out its long, sharp snout, roared to the sky, and stared fiercely at the few people fleeing in panic on the ground. With a smack, it crushed two more people in an instant, as if stepping on ants.

The remaining two had already escaped into the dense forest, but unfortunately the green dragon lizard was extremely ruthless. Its huge body chased after them at an incredibly terrifying speed, crashing into a grove of trees.

The green dragon lizard chased the mercenary group until they disappeared. Zhang Qian and Wang Er shakily crawled out, looked around for a while, and then exchanged a glance, still shaken, before both of them letting out a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up," Wang Er urged.

Zhang Qian looked back at the Frost Jade Grass with reluctance and said in a low voice, "The timid starve, the bold thrive. You go first, I'll go get a couple of Frost Jade Grasses."

Without waiting for Wang Er's reply, he quickly ran towards the Frost Jade Grass and then pulled it out with all his might...

Instead of pulling it out, they crushed a precious Jade Grass.

"Hey, that's not how you pick it." Wang Er hesitated for a moment, but still followed. Seeing that Zhang Qian had destroyed a Cold Jade Grass, he was heartbroken and pushed Zhang Qian away.

Just because you haven't eaten pork doesn't mean you haven't seen a pig run. Wang Er had never seen a Cold Jade Grass before, but he had at least heard mercenaries boast about how they managed to pick one.

At this moment, four flowers suddenly appeared, their eyes turning into spirit stones, filled with excitement. Then they looked at the one that Zhang Qian had ruthlessly destroyed, leaving only a bare blade of grass, clearly ruined, and felt heartbroken.

"Whoosh, whoosh." Wang Er gently breathed hot air onto the grass roots, then carefully pinched the stems and slowly pulled them up. The stubborn grass roots were easily picked after Wang Er blew hot air on them.

Seeing Wang Er carefully place a Cold Jade Grass into the prepared jade bottle, Zhang Qian, who was standing to the side, couldn't even say a word of praise. Instead, he was sweating profusely. Originally, he wanted to pick up the Cold Jade Grass and run away as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

"Quick, that's enough, two is enough, we'll be too late if we don't run now." Zhang Qian hurriedly pulled Wang Er, but Wang Er was as stubborn as a bull, unmoved by Zhang Qian, stubbornly and attentively tidying up the Frost Jade Grass, not even caring that his fingers were covered with a layer of frost.
