Chapter 811 Try? Death! (2)
Unfortunately, Mark did not encounter any particularly thrilling situations in the past two days.
Even if there were higher-level mutated beasts like Level 5 and Level 6 mutated beasts, they were nothing in front of hundreds of mercenaries and hundreds of beasts.
Therefore, Mark, who was a lone ranger, was a little dispirited.
He even thought that if there were no more exciting projects today, he would return home.
He was not interested in cleaning up someone's mess for the army.
"Guys! There's a big job!"
"Just now, the people from the army said that there's a Level 9 mutated beast and a small-scale beast tide of different levels ahead. We'll only use our beasts and not our people. When the time comes, other than the Level 9 one, we'll take all the spoils of war. Furthermore, everyone will get an additional Level 3 crystal core."
"If you want to go, you can come here immediately!"
When Mark was bored, the words from the loudspeaker made him feel refreshed.
What was this?
Getting what he wanted the moment he asked for it?!
He immediately rushed over.
In fact, no mercenary chose to leave at this moment.
What a joke. In any case, they didn't need to fight personally. They just needed to use their beasts. At that time, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, they would have a Level 3 crystal core in his account. It was a sure-win deal!
If they could get rid of it, they would make a killing!
Obviously, although these mercenaries heard the words "Level 9", they did not take it seriously.
Some mercenaries who had participated in killing the Demon Rock Giant in Qingquan even bragged that Level 8 and Level 9 mutated beasts were just so-so and could be killed easily.
As for the people in charge of spreading the news, apart from posting such a bounty among the mercenaries following behind them, they also used a temporary communication device to send the news back to Jiangzhou City and Qingquan City.
They directly recruited mercenaries from two cities.
Of course, if the mercenaries from Qingquan City really wanted to come, they would have to go up personally.
However, it did not matter. In any case, what Liu Gang wanted was cannon fodder with a certain restraining effect. These mercenaries and beasts were very suitable.
Although the army's beasts could be revived, the army still had the mission of pioneering and expansion.
If they lost too many beasts here, their subsequent pioneering missions might be stopped.
This was something that Liu Gang could not accept.
As for taking a detour…
Although it was not a bad idea, could it be that they would not come here again after going around it?
As long as they expanded outwards, this area was destined to be unavoidable.
Unless they completely gave up on this direction.
However, this would lose the meaning of pioneering.
Moreover, in this way, even if the army cleared all the mutated beasts in the other areas, no one would dare to go out because there were still Level 9 mutated beasts here.
Who knew if this Level 9 beast would change places one day?
Just as Liu Gang was thinking about this, the mercenaries arrived at the front line.
Compared to an army with standard equipment, be it soldiers or beasts, these mercenaries looked like a ragtag army.
After the person in charge of communicating with these mercenaries explained the battle requirements, he indicated that these people could set off.
In any case, the mercenaries from Jiangzhou City and Qingquan City would not be coming here for a while. These people could go to the water first.
Moreover, it could also let these arrogant guys suffer a beating from a Level 9 beast.
Mark rode on the back of the Dreadful Battle Lizard and looked at the coordinates given by the army. He quickened his pace slightly.
After flying for more than ten minutes, Mark arrived at the desert where Hong Zhijie had fought the Man-Armed Spider.
Looking at the messy marks on the ground and the corpses with crystal cores left intact, Mark happily got off the back of the Dreadful Battle Lizard and began to dig for crystal cores with a machete.
"Tsk~"
"This trip really wasn't in vain!"
After digging up five corpses and finding a Level 4 crystal core, the smile on Mark's face did not stop.
Just as Mark was about to dig up the next corpse, the Gobi behind him suddenly sank.
At the same time, the Dreadful Battle Lizard beside him began to cackle.
"Hm?"
Before Mark could finish speaking and raise his head, he saw a huge shadow in the shape of a fist appear under his feet.
THUMP!
After a muffled sound, the arm of the Man-Armed Spider appeared where Mark was previously. At the same time, it smashed the corpse into pieces.
"Gah!"
A hundred meters away, Mark, who had lost an arm, was lying weakly on the back of the Dreadful Battle Lizard with a missing tail.
With lingering fears, he took a few deep breaths before barely recovering.
If the Dreadful Battle Lizard had not saved his life with its short tail, he would not have just lost his arm.
Although Mark's Esper Ability was super regenerative, recovery was not resurrection.
If he died, then he was really dead…
"What's wrong?"
While Mark was lying on the back of the Dreadful Battle Lizard and waiting for his arm to recover, the mercenaries behind him followed.
The mercenaries couldn't help but be curious when they saw Mark, who had been running so fast, looking like he was about to die.
"Just take a look over there."
"Remember not to go there personally. Going there is tempting fate~"
Hearing Mark's words, the mercenaries looked in the direction of the Man-Armed Spider.
It couldn't be helped. This thing was too conspicuous in the Gobi Desert.
When these mercenaries saw this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air, causing the already slightly hot Gobi Desert's temperature to rise a little.
"This…"
"F*ck, why don't we retreat? We haven't received the money yet!"
"We're already here…"
"You can even use this to convince yourself? Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Don't we still have beasts! Let's go up and try!"
Although some brave mercenaries were frightened by the Level 9 Man-Armed Spider, they still wanted to give it a try.
Anyway, it was on the beasts, not them.
Seeing that many people had such thoughts, the hundreds of mercenaries decisively let their beasts start their journey of delivering food.
One by one, the beasts sped towards the Man-Armed Spider.
Seeing so many enemies, the Man-Armed Spider summoned its underlings again.
A chaotic battle broke out between the two sides.
However, strictly speaking, it should be a one-sided massacre by the Man-Armed Spiders.
Although these beasts had killed many low-level Man-Armed Spiders with their extraordinary strength, about five minutes into the battle, more than half of these hundreds of beasts had died.
The rest were all long-range beasts. They had survived because they were far away.
As for the two-story-tall Man-Armed Spider, other than some faint marks on its body, there were no injuries at all.
Oh, it was not entirely without injuries.
On its second left arm, there was a wound that was still bleeding.
This was also the only place where the mercenaries injured the Man-Armed Spider.
It was cut out by a werewolf beast with a knife.
This beast was a relatively rare shadow-type beast. It relied on a sneak attack to make the Man-Armed Spider bleed.
Furthermore, by accident, it had indeed found the Man-Armed Spider's weakness—its eight arms.
Compared to the extremely tough fur covering its entire body, the Man-Armed Spider's slender arms were much easier to injure.
However, because it also used these arms when attacking, and it did not have legs that were fixed to stand, it was quite difficult to hit it.
These mercenaries were quite dissatisfied with the "success" of this siege.
However, all the beasts had been beaten up.
If they did not run, they would have to face that terrifying existence head-on. Therefore, they could only choose to retreat.
No wonder the army was so generous and said that other than Level 9, they did not want the rest of the spoils of war.
It turned out that they did not expect them to succeed…
