The poor little girl picked up by the sweet girl turned out to be a cruel and vicious beauty

(?? ?? )σ

After safety was guaranteed, Ye Sheng picked cotton at a high speed. He had suppressed the picking speed yesterday, but today he went full steam ahead and would definitely not miss out on the excellent reward.

Because of the blood-sucking aphid riot, a lot of time was wasted, so the cotton picked today will no longer be sent to the steward, but will be packed by ourselves, and the weight of the cotton will be used for evaluation.

The frequency of blood-sucking aphids has decreased, allowing people to pick cotton faster.

In just two hours, they had already picked several buckets of cotton. Ye Sheng picked twice as much cotton as the others, which stunned the people who were picking cotton nearby. They didn't expect that Ye Sheng, a small man, had such great strength.

When Ye Sheng was carrying the barrel full of cotton and started to fill the third bag, a loud noise occurred deep in the cotton forest, causing everyone to stop what they were doing. They looked anxious and worried, wondering what had happened.

Before the Qingluan Mercenary Group could go to check, someone ran out from deep in the cotton forest.

At the same time, he shouted: "Help, there is an ambush, save me quickly!"

The man who was shouting for help had the Grey Wolf Mercenary Corps badge on his chest. His face was covered in blood, but he could not hide his panic and fear. One of his arms drooped weakly, and his legs were shaking as he continued to run forward.

Try to run in the direction where the people are.

However, faster than him was the long knife that flew from behind, which cut off both of the man's legs in one go!

The man screamed in pain and rolled over after falling down. Soon, a dozen people in black robes walked out from the depths of the cotton forest. The leader walked forward a few steps and thrust the long sword in his hand downward.

The screaming man immediately fell silent.

As the black-robed man drew out his sword, a large amount of blood gushed out of the dead man's eyes, as if the god of death who was reaping lives was announcing that danger had arrived.

The black-robed leader laughed and said in a hoarse voice: "Go ahead, don't leave any one alive!"

Chapter 72: Almost saw Tainai

A dozen black-robed men holding weapons were like wolves among a flock of sheep, able to harvest a life with one strike.

Let the mercenaries of the Qingluan Mercenary Group blow their whistles quickly. The crisp sound spreads quickly, summoning mercenaries active in other areas to rush to the rescue.

After the contact, several members of the Qingluan Mercenary Group immediately rushed forward and started fighting with the black-robed man.

Ah Mu was one of them, swinging his sword with great vigor, and even when he was surrounded by three men in black robes, he was not at a disadvantage at all.

However, the others were not so lucky and were injured to varying degrees.

The workers fled in panic just like they did before when they encountered blood-sucking aphids. Once they were caught by the black-robed man, he would chop off their heads with a knife. The blood gushed out of the wounds, attracting more blood-sucking aphids.

Ye Sheng did not run away with the others, she stood still and observed the battle situation.

It was obvious that the Qingluan Mercenary Group, which only had a few people, was no match for the other party, so Ye Sheng knew that she had to make a decision as soon as possible... With her mediocre skills, it was better not to go over and cause trouble.

He failed to save people and was killed instead!

Now you have to hide quickly.

However, there were no trees or even grass in the cotton forest, so where could they hide?

If it doesn't work, you can only...

Ye Sheng was extremely worried. After confirming that she had no other choice, she immediately picked up a watering can, walked quickly to the cotton tree that she had plucked bare before, and climbed up on a high stool.

When climbing a tree, be extra careful to prevent the needle-like cotton boll seeds from piercing a hole in your body!

Although the cotton tree lost its cotton and did not provide much shelter, there were still a lot of cotton bolls left. In addition, Ye Sheng was small in stature, so he pulled the cotton bolls in front of him and was able to barely hide himself.

Then, Ye Sheng opened the spray bottle of potion in his hand, took off his worn-out cloak, and poured it on the potion. He didn't care that the potion was harmful to the human body. He just wanted to live safely.

(T_T)

He quickly put on his wet and worn cloak. The blood-sucking aphids that had smelled the human scent from other cotton trees soon lost their way, not understanding why the sweet smell of blood had turned into a disgusting smell.

They searched and searched but still couldn't find their prey, so they could only look for other targets in frustration.

Ye Sheng, who was temporarily safe, showed only a pair of eyes from his cloak, staring closely at the battle between the Qingluan Mercenary Group and the black-robed man under the tree, and saw that the brave Amu was also injured at this time.

His arm was chopped off and a lot of blood flowed out.

Even though the mercenaries were equipped with powerful insect repellent balls, the blood-sucking aphids immediately swarmed after the bleeding, forcing Ah Mu to guard against the blood-sucking aphids' sneak attacks while fighting the black-robed man.

While trying to do two things at once, he was slashed by the black-robed man again, and his thigh was also injured.

The other members of the Qingluan Mercenary Group were even worse off than Ah Mu. Ye Sheng saw that some mercenaries had lost their heads...

This won't work!

Ye Sheng was anxious. If anything happened to Ah Mu and the others, she would not be able to escape.

Who knows if these black-robed men will wipe out the entire clan!

Ye Sheng was extremely anxious and took out the crossbow from his waist. This crossbow given by the deputy leader of the Qingluan Mercenary Group had killed the gangsters who attacked at night, and now he wanted to try to kill the black-robed man.

Even the deputy leader probably didn't expect that the weapons he casually gave away would now be used to rescue the mercenaries in the group!

Ye Sheng, who was hiding in the tree, had no worries at this time, and immediately changed his three-pronged arrow to point at Amu.

Among those present, Ah Mu was the one she was most familiar with, so of course Ye Sheng would save him first!

Perhaps they wanted to play a trick on Ah Mu, even though Ah Mu was trapped in a pincer attack and had no energy left to fight, the three black-robed men did not immediately chop off his head, but instead used their weapons to hit him from time to time.

Cut more bleeding wounds to make the blood-sucking aphids more crazy.

Looking at Ah Mu who was being played like a monkey, Ye Sheng remained calm, aimed his crossbow at one of the men's heart, held his breath for a few seconds, and then shot immediately!

A person's fatal injuries can be divided into many parts, and the heart has a higher chance of being hit than the temple, throat and other parts.

Although, when Ye Sheng shot the criminal before, he wanted to shoot the heart but shot the throat instead.

There is a slight deviation in accuracy.

But fortunately the final result was good.

That's why Ye Sheng aimed at the heart this time, praying silently in his heart that he would hit it!

If you miss the first time, the next time you shoot, the opponent will be prepared, and that will be bad.

Maybe we can even find her hiding place... But, I can't care about that now. Saving the people of Qingluan Mercenary Group is also saving myself!

Silently staring at the direction where the trident arrow shot out, Ye Sheng's eyes quickly lit up!

Her prayers paid off.

Or maybe the daytime light is sufficient, so the trident arrow hits the target.

One of the black-robed men was shot in the heart by a trident arrow, and he groaned and soon died... His companion suddenly fell to the ground and died, which made the remaining two black-robed men realize that something was wrong, and they stopped teasing Ah Mu and prepared to fight quickly.

However, when Ah Mu saw that one of the black-robed men had suddenly died, he immediately crushed the powerful insect repellent ball in his pocket, causing the blood-sucking aphids that were attacking fiercely to pause, and even though they were thirsty for blood, they stopped attacking.

Just wait for the smell of the insect repellent ball to dissipate.

The reason why Ah Mu didn't crush the insect repellent ball before was very simple. Once the insect repellent ball turned into powder, the efficacy would be greatly reduced and it would dissipate very quickly. At that time, these blood-sucking aphids would become even more unscrupulous.

Now there were only two black-robed men left, so Ah Mu made a quick decision to crush them.

After temporarily getting rid of the worry of blood-sucking aphids, Ah Mu was very brave and tried his best to chop off the head of one of the black-robed men. When there was only one black-robed man left, he suddenly felt black in front of his eyes.

The loss of blood left him exhausted and weak.

Ye Sheng was on the tree, unable to aim at the black-robed man because Ah Mu was fighting with him. He had no time to rescue him, and saw the black-robed man stabbing Ah Mu's heart with a long sword.

Oops!!!

"Amu, lie down."

At this critical moment, Lan Zhang's voice suddenly sounded, causing Ah Mu to subconsciously obey the order.

After Ah Mu fell down in a very embarrassing situation, a long sword flew over and pierced the black-robed man's eye socket, causing him to fall to the ground.

Having narrowly escaped the disaster, Ah Mu turned over, sat up, pulled the corner of his mouth, and gave Lan Zhang a thumbs up.

What a good brother!

I almost went to see him just now!

Lan Zhang had no time to pay attention to Ah Mu, and led the mercenaries to encircle and attack the black-robed man. The one-sided situation immediately changed, and the black-robed man was chased and hacked.

Seeing the rescue coming, Amu quickly stepped aside and took out the hemostatic powder and sprinkled it on the wound to stop the bleeding quickly.

Although the hemostatic drug is more effective, it also has a slight sedative effect. It is not completely safe yet. Amu will certainly not let himself relax in danger.

After quickly stopping the bleeding, Ah Mu bandaged the wound, then stared at the dead man in black robe, staring at the arrow stuck in his chest.

Looks a little familiar.

Compared to ordinary arrows, crossbow arrows are smaller in size.

When Amu carefully recalled who had used the crossbow, he did not forget to look in the direction where the crossbow arrow came from.

It is a cotton tree that has been plucked bare.

Wow, these workers are so efficient. They plucked all the cotton trees clean in just a short time.

Only the cotton bolls and...

The next moment, Ah Mu opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at the person waving at him from the cotton tree.

It turned out to be Ye Sheng!!!

Compared to Ah Mu's shock, seeing Lan Zhang and the mercenaries coming to rescue made Ye Sheng pat his chest and secretly feel lucky that he had escaped again!

Since coming to the wasteland world, she has encountered too many dangers!

(╯ ° □ °) ╯︵ ┻━┻

A dozen black-robed men were chopped down by the Qingluan Mercenaries, leaving only one or two, who were far away from her. Ye Sheng then threw away the tattered cloak she was wearing and quickly slid down the tree trunk.

"It's really you, Ye Sheng, you saved me!!!"

When Ye Sheng walked to Ah Mu, Ah Mu was already very moved. If it weren't for the difference between men and women, he would have run over and hugged him tightly, and even said "good brother"!

(;???Д??`)

If Ye Sheng hadn't shot the black-robed man dead with an arrow, he wouldn't have survived until Lan Zhang and his men arrived.

As expected, Ye Sheng is his lucky star, not his unlucky star as Lan Zhang said!

"Amu, don't get excited. Be careful that the wound on your body won't open again!"

Seeing Ah Mu looking so moved that he was about to cry, Ye Sheng was at a loss. She then said something dryly, asking Ah Mu to calm down, and she reached out to drag the nearest corpse of a black-robed man.

The man in black robe was wearing a mask, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. Ye Sheng reached out and took off the mask.

Afterwards, looking at the burned face under the mask made people frown.

Unable to tell who the other person was from his appearance, Ye Sheng took off the black-robed man's robe and searched the body for things. During this time, Ah Mu also came over curiously and helped.

However, not only was the black-robed man's face disfigured, but the fingerprints on his ten fingers were also melted off.

There was nothing on his body that could prove his identity.

Even weapons are very common and can be easily purchased at the base.

This reminded Ye Sheng of the assassins in ancient novels, who hid in the dark to complete special missions. Regardless of success or failure, they would commit suicide in the end to keep the secret.

"Where on earth did these damn bastards come from!!!"

Seeing that there was no gain, Amu angrily cursed.

Lan Zhang wanted to keep a black-robed man to torture him, but the man stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger, which caught the mercenaries off guard and they were unable to stop him in time.

Seeing this, Lan Zhang frowned and carefully examined the body.

As a result, in addition to being disfigured and having no fingerprints, it was discovered that most of the black-robed people had no tongues.

Only the leader can speak.

Lan Zhang had a bad feeling after suddenly encountering such a strange sneak attack team.

This cotton forest is dangerous!

They'd better not stay here any longer...

"Amu, can you hold on with your injury? If you can, we must leave as soon as possible!"

After Lan Zhang checked the body of the black-robed man, he quickly came to Ah Mu and did not speak to Ye Sheng, but directly stated his decision.

Originally, the mission that the Qingluan Mercenary Group accepted was to stop the blood-sucking aphids from rioting, and protecting the workers was just a verbal promise.

Therefore, it is okay to leave early, since there is no restriction in the contract anyway.
