Chapter 703: Weird Necklace

"Chen Shu."

Su Chen gave his name.

"Brother Chen, you can just call me Lao Hu."

Zheng Fang seemed very enthusiastic and introduced himself, "We are members of a mercenary group. This time we came to the Dark Night Mountains. In addition to collecting herbs, we are also responsible for escorting the employer's things to the core of the Dark Night Mountains."

As he said, Zheng Fang pointed to a locked small box surrounded by several warriors. That was obviously what he said, the employer's things they were responsible for escorting.

"Brother Chen, wait for us to rest for a while, and we will set off soon."

Zheng Fang greeted enthusiastically.

Su Chen nodded and said, "Captain Zheng, you go and get busy, no need to greet me."

Zheng Fang then walked to the injured members and began to check their injuries.

Su Chen himself sat aside and took a rest.

"Big brother, where are you from?"

The little girl just walked in front of Su Chen, stared at Su Chen, and suddenly asked.

She looked only six or seven years old, with chubby cheeks and innocent looks, which made people think of Gu Qianxue.

"I'm from Yunyuan Empire."

Su Chen smiled and said.

"Hey, is there a young warrior as powerful as my brother in Yunyuan Empire?"

The little girl asked in surprise, and there was no malice in her big eyes, just pure curiosity.

"Of course there is." Su Chen smiled slightly.

He knew that the little girl's reaction also directly showed that Yunyuan Empire was indeed a weak country in the minds of people from other countries in Dongzhou.

"Tsk, I didn't expect the captain to actually let that guy join the team and go with us."

Several young warriors whispered beside them.

"Shh, keep your voice down, after all, he just saved Xiao Ling'er." Someone said.

"What's so great about that? It just happened suddenly and we didn't react. In fact, the monster is not that powerful at all. If it were one of us, we could kill it." Someone retorted.

Su Chen didn't care about the gossips behind these people's backs. His eyes fell on the dark forest in the distance.

In this Dark Night Mountains, most of the leaves are black, and the dark mass looks very depressing.

"This mercenary group seems to have been targeted by monsters."

Su Chen's eyes could vaguely see the looming monsters in the forest, as well as the twinkling lights, which were the shining lights of the monsters' eyes.

These monsters did not retreat, but were still watching from afar.

"I hope this journey will be peaceful."

Su Chen himself was not worried about his own safety, he had his own way to save his life.

But Zheng Fang was an enthusiastic person, and Su Chen didn't want him to encounter any danger or be buried in the belly of a monster.

After the team members had recovered from their injuries, they set off again and continued to walk deep into the Dark Night Mountains.

Along the way, all members were as if they were facing a great enemy, and they paid vigilant attention to the movements around them.

Obviously, although some of them refused to admit it, they knew in their hearts that their team was repeatedly attacked by monsters, which was indeed not normal.

Su Chen's soul power also sensed that there were some monsters following in the distance.

He couldn't help but wonder, what was there in this team that attracted those monsters to follow?

Could it be the small box they were escorting?

Su Chen's eyes fell on the small box and asked, "Captain Zheng, what's in this box?"

Zheng Fang obviously understood what Su Chen wanted to ask, and hurriedly said, "Brother Chen, this box should not be the source of the monsters following, because we are just a small mercenary group, and no one will entrust us to escort very valuable things. There are just some ordinary medicinal materials in this box."

Su Chen nodded. There was indeed no special smell coming out of the box, so it should not be the reason for this box.

Moreover, as the people who were paid to escort, the mercenary group had no right to open the box to see what was inside.

Everyone continued to move forward, and suddenly, a bag full of water was handed to Su Chen.

"Little brother, have a drink of water."

A man with a simple smile appeared in front of Su Chen. This was a veteran warrior in the team named Zhu Zhi. Apart from Zheng Fang, he was the strongest in the team, reaching the seventh level of the Lingtai Realm.

"Thank you."

After Su Chen thanked him, he took the water bag and took a big sip.

Then, he looked strange, because the water bag was not filled with water, but strong liquor.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Zhi saw Su Chen's strange expression and couldn't help laughing. He hit Su Chen hard and said
