Chapter 52: Death mission

The rookie mercenary team actually completed the first mercenary mission.
In less than two days, Yue Jinghua and Zach successfully collected a hundred poisonous scorpion needles.
The gambling odds in the tavern were as high as one to ten, and eventually Johnny and others ended up losing ground.
Locke and Yue Jinghua's first mission was miraculously completed. And the whole mission process is not to mention personnel damage, even the equipment of the two is intact.
After the successful completion of the poisonous scorpion mission, in a short period of time, Yue Jinghua and Zach, a rookie mercenary squad composed of novices, rose at an alarming rate and quickly moved on to Shaker Mercenary Town Make a name.
In the twenty-eighth day of the month, Yue Jinghua finally successfully completed the assessment of a one-star mercenary, and Jin rank became a two-star mercenary.
After exchanging a brand new two-star badge from the Shaq Mercenary Union, Yue Jinghua was about to return to the city of Perak, counting the time.
Before leaving the city of Perot, she wanted to bid farewell to Zach and his sister, cute Zalia, for the last time.
Although they haven't been together for a long time, in the past twenty days, Yue Jinghua has established a deep relationship with her brothers and sisters Zac.
When he arrived at the stone house of Zac's house, Zac had not yet returned. After a month of teamwork missions, Zack has accumulated some experience and money. He has started accepting mercenary missions independently, and has started to make some mercenary friends. This makes Yue Jinghua very pleased.
Zalia heard that Yue Jinghua was leaving, and she reluctantly pulled her into her house.
In Zack's home, the furnishings are very simple. In addition to the daily living tables and chairs for the siblings, there is only a bare wall and a fragrant table for the tablets of Zack's parents.
Zaliya brewed a cup of tea for Yue Jinghua, cuddled like a little sparrow, and inquired about the city of Poro and the outside world from time to time.
"Liya, since you want to go out so much, simply leave Sabah town with your brother. The outside world is much more interesting than Sabah town," Yue Jinghua teased, and after Zalia shook her head, " No, my brother said, this is our root, we cannot leave Sabah town.
Zac's parents died a strange sandstorm in the Tak Desert ten years ago. The siblings didn't even find the bones of their parents, and they only served their parents' clothes.
To this end, Zach has been in a state of anxiety. He has always wanted to go deep into the Tak Desert to find the secret of his parents' death.
"Jinghua, you're here," Zach said cheerfully from the outside, carrying a packet of food and a small bucket of bitter ale in his hand.
Yue Jinghua noticed that Zack today is a little different than usual, and behind him is a big guy wrapped in white cloth.
According to the shape, Yue Jinghua can see that it is a large sword with a thick sword body.
On the Canglong continent, many of the basalts used swords, but not many people could use large swords. The power required to wield a large sword is much higher than that of ordinary swords. The sword's lethality is amazing, the sensitivity is not high, and the physical performance of the sword is extremely high.
The big sword on Zack's back is different from the ordinary big sword. It is very short and only reaches Zack's waist. Such a short sword, compared with Zach's thin and tall figure, looked funny.
"This sword was left by my father. He found it in the ruins deep in the desert the last time he crossed the Tucker Desert." Zach noticed Yue Jinghua's gaze.
"This is a broken sword, not suitable for use in combat," Yue Jinghua said.
"Yes, this is what it looks like when I pick it up, looking at the shabby ones, but because it was left by my father, the meaning is very special. The blacksmith in town can't repair this sword, and I plan to carry it, Go find someone in the city of Babel on the other side of the desert. "
"Brother, stop talking about this. Sister Jinghua said she was leaving," Zalia said sadly. She also knew that it was because of Yue Jinghua that her life had improved for the elder brother.
The smile on Zack's face disappeared.
He was silent, watching Yuehua for a moment, and suddenly laughed again, "Are you going? Yes, you said, you only stayed in Sabah for a month. When you came, you asked me to drink and go When it comes time, I will invite you to drink and count it as practice. "
The place where Zac invited Yue Jinghua to drink was the "coconut shell" tavern where the two first drank.
The same place and the same people, but today Zack looks a little sullen, saying that Yue Yuehua was invited to drink, but he was drinking alone.
"It's a pity that I was going to work with you this time," Zach said after drinking two whole barrels of bitter ale.
Watching Yue Jinghua leave, Zack sipped his wine in silence.
"Zack, why didn't you keep her? Although the girl wasn't fancy, she was able to live," Wharton, the bearded man who led Zack to the next character, came over.
"The goshawk will eventually fly into the sky, and the steed has to cross the grassland. She doesn't belong here," Zack touched his mouth, swallowed bitterness into his stomach, and barely smiled, "Uncle, what do you look at, she."
Although Yue Jinghua never mentioned her identity, but from her speech, Zack was sure that her origin would not be simple.
She was like a gust of wind accidentally soaring through the Tucker Desert. She could circle around without stopping.
The wind was gone, but the sand waited silently in place.
The wind whistled across the desert, and sand winds continued for a while.
As long as the Quartet Xuanzhen has arrived, Yue Jinghua will be able to return to Poro City.
After saying goodbye to the brothers and sisters Zak, before leaving the town, Yue Jinghua finally looked back at the small town of Sabah.
At the other end of the town, the sky in the direction of the Tucker Desert, a faint piece of red, like a piece of charcoal suddenly lit.
Rich knowledge of geography and climate in previous lives, Yue Jinghua realized that in the depths of the Tak Desert, a big storm is coming.
Thinking of the caravan escorted by Zach, at this time, it should have entered the Takgobi.
"It was Uncle Wharton who led Zach to complete this time. He is an experienced veteran mercenary and should have been prepared for this storm." Teleport to the city of Poro requires four teleportations. If you miss this time, you must wait five days before returning to the city of Poro.
Yue Jinghua comforted herself while watching the changes over Takgobi.
"Continually on the hook, but suffer from chaos," Yue Jinghua laughed at herself and continued to walk forward.
In the vast Gobi Desert, the continuous wind and sand have been blowing for centuries and never stop.
A few stars-sized people formed a line, which was a desert squad consisting of several mercenaries and a caravan of llamas.
After leaving the small town of Sabah, Zach and others walked along the mercenary avenue and went deep into Gobi.
Going deeper into the Tak Desert, the rare green leafy plants gradually disappeared, and the Gobi rocky beach showed signs of desertification.
The heat waves penetrated the ground and dried the sweat from the human body, and a layer of scaly salt frost formed on the skin.
"It's ghost weather, it's autumn, and it's as hot as a fire," muttered a young mercenary who participated in this mercenary mission with Zach and others.
Uncle Wharton, the old mercenary, raised his head, and his eyebrows flickered with imperceptibility.
He looked up at the red sky, an unusual red, like a beast with an open mouth, and gradually engulfed the entire Gobi. Even the wind in the desert gradually stopped whistling.
"It's unusual, everyone is on alert," Wharton reminded aloud.
"Uncle Wharton, there is no way ahead," not long after Wharton issued a warning, the road on Mercenary Avenue disappeared.
In front of it is a Gobi Ranshan with no sense of direction. Looking at it, I can't see the top of the mountain.
"How can there be mountains? I remember Takgobi is a plain. There are no mountains here," the caravan's boss stopped the camel.
"Sulo, look up," Wharton ordered a quick young mercenary from the mercenary team and ordered him to climb up Gobi Mountain to see.
The young mercenaries went up the mountain. Everyone didn't notice that not long after the young mercenaries left, a gap appeared in the sky, and it quickly disappeared, like a mussel mouth that suddenly opened, and then closed.
Time flies like the hourglass of quicksand, and the young mercenaries never return.
Uncle Wharton became uneasy. "Go up together." The caravan and the remaining four mercenaries went up the Gobi Mountain.
The mountain was getting steeper and steeper, and the sweltering feeling gradually disappeared.
The deserted desert gradually turns green.
The end of desolation is a paradise on earth.
The paradise bird dragging colorful feathers circling in the sky, the beautiful peony and paeony are open everywhere, the white jade fountain sprayed with fine wine and agar, golden steps, and veranda columns carved by ivory.
In the direction of the setting sun, amidst the rays of light, a palace of the sun appearing in front of the sun.
"It is the temple of the sun, the legendary temple," the merchants of the caravan jumped off the camel, and the mercenaries rushed to the direction of the palace.
Zac was also shocked by the scene in front of him. The Sun Temple is a legendary palace with countless treasures and countless wealth. Legend has it that thousands of years ago, when death and desolation had not swept this continent, there was a powerful kingdom on the desert.
But overnight, the kingdom suddenly disappeared. The legendary temple is also in ruins.
Such a legend, almost every child in Sabah town has heard from their parents.
Listening to the cheers of the partners in front of him, Zack moved slightly. If he had all of this, maybe he could stand by her.
Zach took a step forward, and suddenly, he noticed a slight tremor in his back.
It was the great sword left by his father, and Zac moved.
He took off the big sword on his shoulder and untied the white cloth from it.
The sword body covered with rust was changed. The layer of rust came alive, like a heart surrounded by countless capillaries, and the sword body made a heavy breathing sound.
Swords chanted like magic songs from the sword body.
When he heard that chant, Zac felt only a thumping in his head, as if a lightning flash and thunder in his head, and his mind was awake.
When he looked up at the temple ahead, Zach felt only that his blood was pouring into his head.
