C2796 Gu Cloak
Ten days later, in a vast wilderness, a team of several hundred people arrived.1
Thirty slender black-robed guards, surrounded by three tall, dark brown horses, were slowly advancing towards the east. They were said to be heading for the Gu Cloaked Mercenary Group's stronghold.
Xu Liusu and Sun Beifeng followed at the end of the line, accompanying them to escort the prisoners inside the carriage.
There were three leaders in total, two women and a man. The woman in the middle wore a veil, and her feet were bare. Her wrists were tied with a string of animal teeth, and she was carrying a purple lute on her back.
The girl to the left was an old lady, with long grayish-brown hair tied around her neck, her entire face was wrinkled like chicken skin, but her pair of muddy eyes occasionally emitted a sinister Evil Qi.
The man to the right was a muscular man. He wore short leather clothes, and his entire body looked like it was made of fine iron. His calves and arms were covered in dense blade scars, giving him a terrifying aura of Evil Qi.
After a simple inquiry, Xu Liusu found out that the three of them were the vice captains of the Gu Cloaked Mercenary Group. However, the other side did not seem to trust him.
Obviously, they could not treat these two young warriors politely.
However, the three of them still decided to include Xu Liusu and Sun Beifeng in the team. The reason was simple. Xu Liusu had turned in a lot of high-grade Xuan Crystals.
To Tianmo Ridge's mercenary groups, money was everything. They lived in the open and even licked their lips and licked their blood because of money.
What made Xu Liusu curious was that the prisoners in the carriage seemed to have great origins.
These three carriages were enough to accommodate dozens of people. Most of them were old, weak, sick, and handicapped, but there were also a few young men. Unfortunately, as soon as the two of them joined the group, the old woman issued a ruthless order.
In the midst of the miserable wails, a black robed mercenary pulled out a weak looking man from the carriage. Ignoring the man's despairing begging gaze, he stabbed into his heart and started to bleed.
The black robed mercenary's sabre technique was exquisite, as if he had received strict training. When the sabre stabbed into the man's heart, it stirred gently, causing the man's pupils to dilate, but he did not die, his heart did not stop beating.
Next, a bloody and cruel torture that lasted for a whole incense stick of time was staged in this windswept wilderness.
The man's skin and flesh had been peeled off, leaving behind only a bloody human model!
He was like a pig being butchered.
Seeing this scene, Sun Beifeng's hand slowly grasped the sword hilt as his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.
However, the black cloaked man's sabre art was too fast. Even if Sun Beifeng were to save him first, he would not be able to do so.
Thus, in front of a hundred people, everything from the man being dragged out of the carriage to his being tortured to death was exposed in broad daylight.
Even though Xu Liusu was experienced and had witnessed many bloody scenes, the appearance of this scene still made him angry.
Under the illumination of the sun, that piece of human skin was like an exquisite artifact, draped over that beautiful female Guild Leader's body.
The group continued on their way.
Along the way, everyone was silent for a long time. Then, Xu Liusu slowly approached the prison cart at the end and stared at a girl with a face covered in dirt.
"Big brother …" "I'm thirsty …" The girl's breathing was erratic. Traveling all the way here was definitely not something she could handle.
Seeing this, Sun Beifeng quickly walked up, took off the water bag from his waist, and handed it to the girl: "Drink it quickly."
