Chapter 15 Blood Arena (1)

To the south of Nax is the famous Sword Blade Mountain. The spike-like terrain marvels Doyle and Assa who have experienced it for the first time.

The sky is strangely purple-red, and the air is dry and hot. Compared to forty years ago, the climate in this barren land is even worse and less popular.

In order to prevent being seen through, Link did not transform and planned to walk to the Great Sink. Because of the friendly elements, the high temperature that was enough to dehydrate people had little effect on him, and Doyle, who is already a demon dragon bloodline, was also stress-free. The worst thing was the shadow thief Asa, who is an ordinary human, and his physique was not strong enough to ignore the harsh climate, and he had only been in a long journey after walking for a long time.

Doyle, who doesn't like to dress up in a woman, exchanges control with another soul, and Vera scolds the trash at Asa, who has delayed her trip.

Asa, who didn't know the truth, but had already realized the differences in personality, thought Doyle and Vera were split. He grinned weakly, and didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Get up, don't pretend to be dead." Vera was in a hurry to go, but she was worried that anger Neham would catch up and fight with Link. Even if she wanted to help, she would be blocked by Doyle.

Asa, the weakest member, believed that she had no say and struggled to support her upper body. Before she could stand up, she felt a slight vibration coming from afar in the part that was in contact with the ground.

Link and Vera turned their heads at the same time, which was the direction of Knox City.

Vera tsk and warned Doyle in her heart, [I have disliked that guy for a long time. If Neham was really angry and embarrassed and attacked Link, you are not allowed to stop me.]

[No matter what, he is also my mentor, and has helped me a lot in the past few years.]

Before Doyle finished speaking, he was scolded by Vera.

[You are no longer a believer of the Morning Sect. Your relationship with him is just an enemy. Don’t forget who rescued you from the abyss of despair, not Alicina, who you regard as your mother, nor Neham, who you regard as your mentor.]

Seeing her in silence, Vera was about to fight against Neham with all her energy, but found that what was coming was not her imaginary enemy. It was a small team of carriages, which looked like a caravan.

Without using spells, Link's eyesight was not as good as Vera. When he learned that it was not Neham who came, he pressed Asa, who was struggling to get up, on the ground again. To his surprise, this caravan was the one they had taken to Nax before.

Is this a coincidence?

Without Link reminding him, Vera is ready. As long as the other party makes any abnormal behavior, it is guaranteed that these blind guys will not be able to take advantage of it.

"Sir, we're meeting again." The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with two beards, unlike ordinary big-bellied businessmen. This man was short and thin, with a sharp-mouthed cheek, and his first impression was really bad, and he could easily think of a profitable businessman.

Link nodded and waited for the other party's following.

"He is... fainted from heat?" Seeing Asa lying on the ground with her eyes closed, the merchant naturally thought that he could not stand the harsh climate. "The climate in Jianbian Mountain is very harsh. Most of the people who leave for the first time will have heatstroke. Give him this medicine to relieve it. Since you are going to the Great Sleep, why don't you prepare one?"

As he said that, the merchant asked the coachman to send a small bottle of potion to Link. His words also made Link understand that this skinny monkey had seen through that not only did they walk this path for the first time, but they also had an extraordinary ability. Asa with heatstroke is the best comparison.

【Do you want to solve it?】

Link shook his hand and almost poured the potion into Asa's nostril. He fed the potion to Asa, who was pretending to be dizzy, and he warned Vera not to do anything randomly.

[It's just an ordinary traveler. It's just a fault that we didn't prepare enough in advance and didn't think well. We forgot that Asa is just an ordinary person and is not adapted to the harsh climate.]

Since Link didn't want to be troublesome, Vera didn't say anything anymore. She tsk and stood aside obediently.

The merchant Helini always glanced at the mixed-blooded elf dressed in a mage dress. As a black market trader who specialized in slave trade, he had seen many half-elves. He knew that this was not a night elf known for his evilness, but a real wood elf with different ear lengths. I don’t know what the other half of his bloodline had. Anyway, it was not humans, and humans would never have such a bright red hair color. It was impressive and unforgettable. This was probably the best thing he had seen in more than ten years. It would be really itchy to get it. If it weren’t for the fact that the elf was a natural mage and there was a person who couldn’t figure out the origin, he would have done it.

I originally thought of Nax to borrow human traffickers from there to get this good guy, but I didn't expect the slave market to be taken over by Chenxi Sect.

Thinking of this, Helini couldn't help but feel a little scared. Fortunately, he was not present at the time, otherwise he would have suffered prison as much as other buyers involved in the slave trade.

[This guy's eyes are so annoying.] It's like he is a product to be estimated, Vera swept over with a knife.

Knowing that he was a little too hasty, Helini smiled and looked away.

It would be fine if Nax asked you to slip away, but when it was a big trap, haha...

There was also Link in his heart. How could he not see such a "chiluo" naked leniency look? He didn't point it out directly, and he just didn't want to cause trouble.

[When you arrive at the Great Stolen, you will do whatever you want. There is a channel directly to the Abyss Demon Realm and beyond the jurisdiction of Chenxi.] Knowing that with Vera's wild personality, being able to endure it again and again is already giving her face. Link promises that she can do whatever she wants to do when she arrives at the Great Stolen. Anyway, she is not a good person. She will have to pay it back sooner or later.

With Link's guarantee, Vera's mood suddenly improved a lot, and the look of looking at Helini also changed from hatred to interest.

He was shivering for no reason, and Helini said that he could take Link and the other two to the big trap. Link did not refuse and got into the empty car behind.

Asa, who had drunk the potion, naturally could not continue to pretend to be asleep. He lowered his voice and told Link that this was not an ordinary caravan. All three or two were empty, and there was no caravan, which made no sense. Moreover, the general caravan route was from the westernmost Xindu to the easternmost Krenberg, and rarely went to the Great Sink. Here, the dragons and snakes were mixed with the harsh climate, which was even more dangerous than the three major leaders who were deeply harmed by the undead. The only ones who could take this route were black market merchants who wanted money and were desperate for life. At the same time, these people were also an important part of the slave trade, responsible for selling slaves obtained from night elves or orcs to all parts of the mainland.

"I know that the thin man is a problem. The black market merchant... Humph~ The night elves cannot move for the time being, but I must use this trip to Nanyanzhou to completely cut it off." In Link's plan, the orcs are also an indispensable alliance to fight against the undead. To pull them into the group, the slave trade, which is bound to resolve the contradiction between the orcs, dwarfs and dwarfs.

Helini winked at his nephew and asked him what he thought.

Andy, who was born in a mercenary and Helini's cousin, shook his head, "Tough guy, no matter the half-elves you like, just a shadow thief with heatstroke is troublesome." He pointed to his chest with his fingers. The silver medal worn by Asa's necklace was printed with the iconic pattern of the killer organization famous mainland.

Helini squinted his eyes and looked at the crossed double daggers... Shadow Thorn? I didn't notice it before. A shadow thief is not even a full-time assassin, so it's not a fear. The trouble is that Shadow Thorn inherits the rules of revenge and never-ending death from the night elves. Unless the opponent is so strong that it exceeds the organizational ability, no matter how long it takes and how much manpower it consumes, Shadow Thorn will kill all the targets.

"What do you think of that person?" Although I really want to get the mixed-race elf, Helini is not a brainless idiot. It can be seen from his words and deeds that Vera's heartfelt obedience to Link and that he can conquer a powerful mage. The man's own strength is not much worse. Helini is just a businessman, unable to judge the level of his rank, and the power that Link has gradually shown makes him worried.

I will definitely not be able to eat such a piece of fat meat. If I work with others, let alone share money, I may even give up such a rare and top-notch person.

Andy remained silent for a long time and did not answer.

Helini was a little angry, "Is it mute?"

Andy, who came to his senses, shook his head hesitantly, "Uncle, I think... you should give up. That person gives me a very...bad feeling. On the surface, he is weaker than Shadow Thieves, but my intuition tells me that he is the strongest among the three."

Andy was born with intuition that was stronger than ordinary people. With this, he escaped danger several times.

After hearing his words, Helini's face became even more ugly and he scolded him as a coward. In fact, he was also very confident.

Unlike when he first met, this time, the half-elves gave him the feeling of being a superior looking down at a low-level creature, which was creepy. Helini, who has always been cruel, couldn't help but hesitate, should he bite this hard bone?

"There are three days left to go to the Great Sink, so wait and see..." Helini counted on the erosion of the three of them by miasma. Compared with that, the discomfort of heatstroke was not worth mentioning at all. These people did not even prepare the potion for relieving heat, so they would definitely not be able to prevent miasma.

"What if they are not affected?" Andy observed secretly, noting that Link and Vera were not affected by the climate at all, this was not something that could be overcome by the level. If you can't even figure out the strength of your opponent, you will only fall into danger. Even if you are regarded as cowards, you don't want to risk your life. No matter how much money you make and have no life to spend, what's the point?

In this way, two groups of people with each thought drove towards the Great Sink. The closer they got, the more harsh the climate became. Not only did there be any omnipresent sand in the air, but the smoke dyed the sky purple also dropped to the ground. This is the poisonous air leaking from the gap from the abyss to the material world. Ordinary people smell it at the least, they will feel nauseous and vomit, and at the worst, they will cause poisoning and lose their lives.

This time Asa did not drag her back anymore. He knew that he was going to the Great Sink. He prepared in advance the potion that could reduce the erosion of miasma. In the previous heat stroke, he overestimated his body's ability to withstand high temperatures.
