Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 910: Cold-faced And Cold-Hearted

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The caravan left the steep path of Mount Lyon and entered the open Absolute Shadow Heights. However, the safety factor of the caravan did not increase. On the contrary, it was much lower.

The Absolute Shadow Highland was not calm.

This highland was like its name implied. This was a flat environment. Occasionally, one would only see three or five short hills, seven or eight old trees. Vast and flat terrain, coupled with a rise in Shanghai, makes traveling on the highlands no easy task at all. Winter and summer were still difficult, summer sunshine was poisonous, the sun was shining in the sky, it was really a thousand miles away, the whole earth was like an oven, feet on it were hot; In winter, snow covered a thousand li, a silver white. The Lyon Trail was covered by a mountain range, so it was good that there wasn't much snow. When they left the mountain path and turned into the highlands, the snow was as high as their knees, making it much harder for the caravan to move forward.

Fortunately, Qianniao was already an experienced expert in this field. As long as the deputy commander sprayed some snow melting agent on the snow, it could melt the snow and melt the ice. Watch sent a small team to clear the path in front of the caravan and use it for reconnaissance. In the winter of the highlands, there would be some dangerous beasts roaming about, and the biggest hidden danger would be bandits and strong men. However, the bandits that were active on the high ground weren't very large, and the largest grizzly bear group only had about twenty people.

Thousands of people weren't afraid of this, but Walker didn't want to hit them. Without fear, there would still be trouble. The Guild Leader sat on his horse and looked at the figures who were opening the path in front of him from afar, the corners of his mouth slightly curled upwards. There was a young man he had high hopes for, and Walker believed that the boy would one day support the Thousand Birds Mercenary Corps in his stead.

Darang narrowed his eyes, and the wind and snow left a streak of frost on his eyebrows. He casually wiped it off, and his black-clothed black horse and warhorse hung a short iron spear on each side. Two short guns could be combined into a two-headed spear when needed. Darang had spent a lot of effort on these two guns. With his spear skills and horse battle skills, there were few enemies amongst the young mercenaries.

The mature young man did not dare to laugh, but his temper was so good that no matter how much others teased him, he would not be angry. Hence, this cold face was not enough to be excluded from the Thousand Birds. Darang tightened his cloak and whistled. In front of him, he turned around and saw a young mercenary. Older than Darang, with a horse face, he grinned and saw that the row of teeth was missing an incisor.

That was the result of a fight with someone when he was drunk, and the other party paid the price for it by lying in bed for three months. Horseface Hunter was a good friend Darang had known since he spanked his butt naked, but he had a completely different temperament from Darang. Hunter was straightforward and did not hide his words. He offended many people and had many friends. This fellow, Origin Energy, was only a careless Level 13, but his brute force was not small. The enemy was killed by a pair of iron fists. One time, he bumped into a bandit who blocked his way on a mission and used a pair of fists to smash a bandit's chest to death. He could be considered a backbone in the mercenary corps.

"How is the situation?" Darang asked softly.

Hunter grinned. "Very smoothly. Your old man's Snow Melting Agent has been tested for hundreds of times. You can see that there are times when you miss. At this rate, we can arrive safely in Mountain City in two days."

Darang nodded. He looked into the distance and pointed at a short hill not far away. He said, "I'll rest there for a while."

"Understood." Hunter paused for a moment, then lowered his voice. "I say, boy, don't you have to watch Miss Ferlyn. She's been getting too close to that red-haired boy lately. That's not a good thing."

Darang said expressionlessly, "It's her freedom to be with whoever Ferlyn likes, as long as she doesn't have any ill intentions."

"You're wood." Hunter said angrily, "Who doesn't know that Captain Watch is going to marry Ferlyn to you? She should be at least half of your fiancee. How could you be so unconcerned about your future wife?"

"Right now, isn't it?"

Hunter slapped Darang on the head and said, "Kid, can't you open up a little bit? Be careful of Ferlyn. She might run away with that red-haired guy if you're so cold. What's the background of that guy?"

Darang said slowly, "The man who has Mr. Roger's letter of introduction is naturally an innocent man." There were a total of three of them. Both he and the big boy were ordinary people, but the black-haired man was not simple. His aura was so strong that Mr. Watch said the man was at least Level 20. Looking at his attitude towards Red Hair, it was obvious that he was a guard. To be able to hire a Level 20 expert as a guard, needless to say, they are definitely nobles. "

Hunter opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you look cold and have a nimble head? You haven't talked to them before. Do you know so much and tell me what tricks you have?"

Darang pointed to his eyes. "Father always said that in our line of work, you can't be tall. You have to have bright eyes. Otherwise, you don't know how to die."

"Then I really can't learn." "No wonder, nobles," said Hunter. "They are always alone, and they stay in a corner when they rest. Bah, nobles are amazing, can't they stand being too close to us?"

"There is no denying that they were born nobler than us. If I had been born into a noble family, my current accomplishments would not have been limited to this. Although I don't forget to exercise every day, you can see that they are just ordinary people, but they have a Level 20 expert as a guard. Level 20. Even Father and Guild Leader were unable to cross the barrier, yet such a person only served the nobles. Even if I train for another ten years, I might not be able to cross this barrier … "

Looking at the silence in his playmate's eyes, Hunter patted his shoulder and said, "Darang, you are so smart and diligent. You will definitely be able to cross the threshold of Level 20. Besides, you are still young. After you reach Level 20, I think our Thousand Birds will be able to expand."

Dalang smiled and said, "You are going to be a mercenary for the rest of your life."

"Why not?" Hunter smiled and said, "I'm going to see how the boys are doing."

Darang nodded and watched his friend leave. He exhaled and clenched his fists. Even Hunter, who had the best relationship with him, did not know what this young man was thinking. Darang had already told him more than once. If he could get past the level 20 barrier, he would leave the mercenary corps. Where could the heavens and earth not go? With that kind of strength, there was no need to surrender to a small Thousand Birds.

He didn't care about Fei Lin, and that was also why. To him, if he left the mercenary corps, Ferlyn was destined to be separated. At the very least, even if he couldn't fulfill his request, Watch would still marry this daughter to him. He wasn't at a disadvantage anyway, so how could he be nervous?

However, Hunter was right. Ferlyn had recently gotten too close to the red-haired aristocrat. Before he left the mercenary corps, it would be embarrassing for him if Ferlyn fell in love with another man. Darang frowned, thinking about how to get Ferlyn to stay away from the nobles.

"Again."

Ante looked helpless and pushed Ellen aside, "Does that woman like you? Look, she's looking for you again."

Dyed her iconic silver hair red, Alan smiled and said, "I think she likes you. You forgot, she said you were cute on the first day."

Ante glared at him angrily.

Ellen patted her forehead. "Oh right, how can Sir Ante be described as adorable now? Today I will correct Miss Ferlyn's mistake and make her change her mind. At the very least, I will praise you for your handsomeness."

"Die!" Ante glared at the red-haired fellow hatefully and looked for a corner to wrap around the blanket. "It's cold outside, so I won't go out. Call me for dinner."

"Yes, Young Master Ante." Alan pretended to bow to him, then opened the door and jumped down. "Mr. Saga, let's make a snowman," cried Ferlyn excitedly, her eyes immediately filled with a blushing face and her face flushed from the snowstorm.

Alan, alias Saga, smiled and said, "No, it's too childish. If you want to play, I can let him accompany you."

He pointed at Ante in the carriage, who wrapped his head in a blanket and pretended not to hear him.
