Chapter 445 Premonition of Danger
This time there were many mercenary teams participating in the escort mission.
The Dragon Teeth mercenary team was one of them, and was placed on the left side by the caravan for protection.
On the right side, carrying out escort missions, was another grandmaster-level mercenary team, the Qiu Yu mercenary team.
Hua Manqiu, the captain of the Qiu Yu mercenary team, and Hua Ruoyu, the deputy captain, are brothers and sisters. They are extremely talented and both are master-level experts.
Originally, they came to Cloud Mist City for the mission of master-level monsters.
But after seeing this escort mission in the mission hall, I decided to take it on a whim.
A grandmaster-level trial crystal can give a mercenary team an extra grandmaster-level strongman.
This is definitely a huge improvement for a mercenary team.
This is a much higher reward than the task of hunting a master-level monster.
"Brother, what do you think we will be escorting this time? The employer actually paid a lot of money to hire two teams of grandmaster-level mercenaries." Hua Ruoyu rode up to Hua Manqiu and asked curiously.
That charming look with bright eyes and white teeth does not look like a battle-experienced mercenary at all, but rather like a wealthy lady traveling.
Only the light armor on Hua Ruoyu's body proves her identity.
"Don't ask too many questions that you shouldn't. Having been a mercenary for so long, you should know this very well." Hua Manqiu pointed to the carriage ahead.
There sat their employer this time.
"I'm just curious. I'm just guessing. It should be fine." Hua Ruoyu pouted.
"It's best not to guess. The employer this time is different from the previous ones. Except for the time when our identities were confirmed, he hasn't appeared since."
Hua Manqiu pointed to the baggage piled up on the carriage beside her.
Then he said slowly: "He doesn't even want us to know his identity, so how can he let us know what he really wants to escort?"
A mere baggage is not worth using the Grandmaster level at all.
But as long as the remuneration is generous, they mercenaries don't care what their employer wants to escort.
Hu Shou, who was walking behind the caravan, looked at Yunwu City, which was getting farther and farther away and gradually invisible, and took out a pet card from his arms.
In a flash of white light, a water spirit white fox appeared on Hu Shou's hand, and then quickly climbed onto his shoulder.
"Whether I can deliver my mission safely or not depends on you."
Hu Shou touched Shui Ling White Fox's head.
This water spirit white fox is an unexpected harvest when Hu Shou vigorously cultivated the Earth Demon Bear before. After awakening, the skill activated is called Danger Premonition.
Although there is no substantial improvement in combat effectiveness, it can greatly enhance the perception of upcoming dangers.
Mainly used to prevent premeditated ambush.
It is really useless at ordinary times, but during this kind of escort mission, it is a rare and powerful skill.
The Shui Ling White Fox stood on Hu Shou's shoulder, its nose twitching slightly as if smelling something in the air.
"Even if there is an ambush, it will probably not be outside Yunwu City."
Seeing that Shui Ling White Fox didn't warn him, Hu Shou relaxed a little.
Being tense all the time is very tiring and unnecessary.
From Cloud Mist City to Yantan City, about one-third of the journey is in the Cloud Mist Forest.
After walking out of the cloud forest, the rest of the journey is the desert within the ancient Luo Empire.
