Versatile Mage: Summon Taixu Ancient Dragon at the beginning

"How about it?"

"Judging from the clothes they are wearing, they have reached the meadow layer. The mosses and shady grass found only in the meadow layer are still hanging on their clothes." Lingling said solemnly with her beautiful eyes.

“Since they had walked out of the desert layer and reached a canyon at a higher altitude, why did they run back here and die?” Nanyu asked.

"How did he die?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"The cause of death was suffocation, but the cause of suffocation is not clear yet," Lingling said.

"Could it be altitude sickness?" Mu Nujiao said.

"It's similar to altitude sickness, but more deadly. Even if a mage's physique is much stronger than an ordinary person, he can't resist it." Lin Mu said.

“What should we do? If we continue like this, we might end up like them,” Zhao Manyan said worriedly.

"Now that you're here, can you go back the same way?" Lin Mu asked.

If they return along the same route, they will definitely encounter those giant spiders, and it will be a big question whether Zhao Manyan can return alive.

Zhao Manyan shrugged. He was just complaining. If he was really asked to go back, he wouldn't dare to do so.

Following the hot route of the flood and rock flow, the group successfully walked out of the desert layer and began to enter the meadow layer with moss and cold grass.

The Great Rift Valley in the meadow layer was initially covered with some vegetation that was obviously growing in low-lying areas.

But as you continue to go deeper, you will find that even the cliffs above your head and on both sides are covered with plants, and some large-leafed climbing grasses are so dense and thick that they look like a wall.

In this kind of environment, everyone became obviously more vigilant, perhaps there were more dangerous creatures hiding.

At this moment, Kuma and others who had been leading the way in front suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop? It might be more dangerous if you stay here." Jiang Yu looked puzzled, wondering why they would stop in such a place.

Ai Jiangtu, who was at the front of the team, looked at the situation ahead and turned back to say to everyone, "It seems that someone is sick and can't walk anymore. He needs help."

“Ah? It can’t be the same as those corpses, right? If this continues, something might not be right!” Zhao Manyan said.

"They seem to want to throw these people out of the team." After saying this, Ai Jiangtu fell silent.

For a military magician like him, this measure was undoubtedly too cruel.

“Oh my god, these mercenaries are such beasts. Asking them to leave the team is no different from letting them die.” Zhao Manyan said in surprise.

Mo Fan was also very shocked. This action was hard for him to accept. He said, "They say mercenaries only care about money. Now I have seen it."

The others were more or less shocked and found it hard to accept. This choice of abandoning teammates was indeed a bit inhumane.

"If they leave the team, they will die. Why don't we take them with us?" Ai Jiangtu said.

Lin Mu frowned and stopped them, saying, "These people don't even care about the Mailong Mercenary Group themselves, so why should we care about their lives? If you really keep them, the Mailong Mercenary Group may not be grateful to you."

"But I can't bear to see them being abandoned like this." Ai Jiangtu looked conflicted.

Nan Jue also nodded. She couldn't stand abandoning her teammates.

After all, they were teammates. Watching them die was indeed too cruel.

"We can still handle this one, but what if there are more people? What if it's contagious? Anyway, I think it's best not to get involved. We just need to take care of ourselves." Zhao Manyan said.

Mo Fan also said a few words. Although he sympathized with these people, it would be a bit stupid to let a few strangers affect the safety of his team.

"Old Ai, we are familiar with the rules of your military, but these mercenaries do not belong to China, nor have they made any contributions to China. Even most of them are not Chinese."

"Even if you show them kindness, they may not remember your kindness. It's better to focus on your own team."

Lin Mu walked up and patted Ai Jiangtu on the shoulder. Don’t be too saintly!

"Maybe you're right."

Ai Jiangtu sighed and stopped caring about the seriously ill mercenaries.

"Before these mercenaries came, they signed a life and death agreement. If they die on the road, their commission will be given to their relatives without any reduction. This is their own choice."

Jiang Yu was very calm in the face of this situation. Since he chose to come here, it meant he had already made his choice.

People should be responsible for their own choices, and this commission has nothing to do with them.

The commission for this trip is very high, and even if the mercenary dies on the way, the commission will still be paid out.

Before carrying out the mission, the mercenary who signed the contract had to write down the name of a family member. After the mission was successfully completed, the leader of the mercenary group would send the money that the deceased was entitled to to the family members.

The mercenaries were ruthless, cold-blooded and selfish, but they were very clear about money and no one could take it for granted. Also because of this rule, it was not common for mercenaries to kill each other.

Three hours later, the team started to move forward. It must be said that the oxygen in this rift valley was indeed quite thin.

Those plants are inherently negative and do not accept sunlight. There is no such thing as plants purifying the air without sunlight. Everyone has a feeling of heavy and difficult breathing.

“Hmph!”

“Hmph!”

Guanyu found that his nose was blocked, so he turned to breathing through his mouth.

"Damn, Guanyu, you didn't get tricked, did you, Brother Mu? Otherwise, let's just leave him behind like those mercenaries did."

Zhao Manyan noticed something was wrong with Guan Yu and started to joke with him without any conscience.

When Guan Yu heard this, he immediately became angry. If Lin Mu nodded, then he might really be abandoned.

According to the previous relationship... No, there is no relationship between them at all.

Thinking of this, Guan Yu suddenly became anxious, wondering if he would really be abandoned.

He is still so young, he doesn't want to die yet!

"Old Zhao, stop joking. Look how scared this guy is. Guan Yu, are you okay?" Mo Fan asked Guan Yu.

"I'm a little out of breath. I'm so tired and it's hard to breathe."

Guan Yu's steps were a little shaky, and he sat down on the stone moss beside him, and his chest rose and fell violently.

"I'm also feeling a little uncomfortable." Ai Jiangtu said.

"Me too." Lingling said weakly.

When Lin Mu heard the voice, he immediately put Lingling down slowly.

Lingling's little face was as pale as frost and snow, and her little lips were opening and closing like a stranded fish trying hard to breathe through its gills.

Seeing this, Lin Mu could only hold Lingling in his arms and began to use the power of the horse talisman to help her get rid of the external force, and then used the Suzaku Divine Fire to help her keep warm.

"There's something warm."

Lingling's pale little face gradually began to turn rosy, and her big eyes looked at Lin Mu in surprise. This was too magical.
