Chapter 2 The Tribe's Difficulty

After all the battles, a mercenary warrior rushed over and respectfully saluted Han Fei: "Thank you for your help, our Fiery Rose Mercenary Group will not forget your help."

"Huh!..." He looked at Han Fei, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Are you Han Fei, the young master of the Han family?"

"Do you know me?" Han Fei couldn't help but be surprised.

The mercenary warrior standing in front of him looked about forty years old, tall and determined, with a long scar on his cheek, and a badge of mercenary groups and second-level samurai on his left chest. In Han Fei's memory, there seemed to be no such person.

"My name is Hed, and I am the captain of the 7th Team of the Fire Rose Mercenary Group." The warrior explained: "I used to meet you when I went to Hanji Wushu to purchase weapons with the leader, but you have grown a lot now and I can't recognize you."

"So that's the case. So how could you fight with them? Do you have no other support team?" Han Fei asked.

A mercenary group has at least a hundred combat teams, with most of them reaching thousands of warriors and warriors. The Fiery Rose Mercenary Group is also quite famous in Xishui City, with many members.

Although it is not the better to hunt spirit beasts into the forest, because too many people will only scare away spirit beasts, ordinary mercenary groups will split out several or even dozens of teams, keep a certain distance between them, and can contact each other through special methods at any time to support each other, so ordinary adventurers dare not cause trouble for mercenary teams.

Speaking of this, Hurd's face showed a bit of bitterness: "This time we had seven teams entering the Howling Forest. We first discovered a second-level blue-eyed fire tiger. In order not to disturb it, we did not inform the other teams to follow it here. As a result, just after killing it, this group of adventurers launched a sneak attack, and we sacrificed three companions."

First, be careful, second, it may be because of greed for merit! Han Fei knew in his heart, and of course he would not point it out.

At this time, the mercenaries gathered together again, and while treating their injuries, they expressed their gratitude to Han Fei. Although they survived, the death of the three companions still made them feel sad. The apprentice of the Spiritual Law even sniffled in tears.

Hurd used his sword to split the head of Bijing Huohuo, dug out a fiery red spirit crystal from it, wiped it clean, and then sent it to Han Fei: "Young Master Han, we really have nothing to thank for, this spirit crystal..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Han Fei: "Captain Hurd, you should keep this spiritual crystal. There is no need to say more about thanks. Just take care of our martial arts business in the future."

The spirit crystal dug out from the head of Bijing Huohu is of good quality, and it can be worth at least a few hundred gold coins. However, Han Fei does not value it. In contrast, through this matter, it is much more valuable to establish a good friendship with the Fire Rose Mercenary Group and at the same time enhance the Han family's reputation among mercenaries.

"I still have something to do, Captain Hurd, we will see you again if you have the chance!" Without waiting for the other party to say anything more, Han Fei turned around and left and disappeared into the woods.

Hed, who had not expected Han Fei to react like this, was stunned at first, and his eyes suddenly showed gratitude. He shouted to Han Fei's back: "Young Master of the Han family, Hed will always remember your kindness!"

With this spirit crystal, the pensions of the three teammates who fell into battle will be much more generous, which is a real comfort for their families. How can Hed not let his heartfelt thank Han Fei in his heart?

After leaving the woods, Han Fei and Han Weier quickly met again and left together.

According to Han Fei's idea, he should return to Xishui City immediately. The two consecutive battles made him feel a little uneasy.

However, Han Wei'er hoped to go to the Kuangxiong Tribe to take a look before leaving the Whispering Forest, but she was satisfied with her secretly taking a few glances outside. Han Fei could fully understand her thoughts. Anyway, it didn't take much time to go around the Kuangxiong Tribe, so she agreed.

With all his might, the next afternoon, the two approached the valley where the Crazy Bear Tribe was located.

"Huh? Brother Han Fei, what do you think is that?" Han Weier suddenly pointed to the air in front of her and asked.

Han Fei looked up and saw that through the sparse tree canopy, he could clearly see a few wisps of black smoke rising from the mountains, which was exactly where the Crazy Bear Tribe was located.

An ominous premonition suddenly surged into Han Fei's heart.

Not only Han Fei, but Han Weier seemed to feel something. Her pretty face suddenly turned white, and her running steps involuntarily accelerated a lot.

The two of them walked through the woods one after another, and in a short while they arrived on the grassland outside the valley.

The two of them were immediately confirmed. It turned out that there was no rebuilt corral on the grassland, and all the walls at the entrance of the valley were destroyed. A broken tower collapsed half a piece. It was clear that most of the houses in the tribe were burned, and several of them were still emitting black smoke.

And there is not a single person in the Kuang Bear Tribe!

"Grandpa!" Han Wei'er shouted in disbelief, rushing towards the valley like an arrow. Han Fei was afraid of something unexpected, so he quickly used his light skills. Several jumped and fell in front of her and entered the valley.

The location of the Crazy Bear Tribe, the originally lively valley is now dead silent, and there is no sign of a living creature. It is all ruins after burning.

Han Fei rushed to Elder Ibrahimovic's residence. Along the way, he could see traces of fierce battles everywhere. The ground was covered with bloodstains and broken weapons, but there was no corpse, which showed a little weirdness.

Elder Ibrahimovic's wooden house was opened, and there was no one in the empty living room. Han Fei rushed upstairs unwillingly and took a look. The result was of course disappointing.

When he went downstairs, Han Weier was rushing in from outside. His eyes were full of hope when he looked down on Han Fei, and Han Fei shook his head at her.

"Grandpa!" The tears that could not be suppressed burst out from my eyes, and the girl cried and threw herself into Han Fei's arms.

Han Fei couldn't help but sigh, patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Maybe your grandfather is fine, but he was just taken away. I will definitely find a way to send someone to find him."

Although that's the case, Han Fei had no idea. There was no doubt that the Crazy Bear Tribe was attacked by the enemy. The dead body disappeared, either taken away or buried nearby. The other party was obviously a veteran who did not want to expose the clues.

Could it be which mercenary group did it? If it were adventurers, they would not care about this, but this idea was quickly denied by Han Fei, because no mercenary group would do such stupid things. The relationship between the beast tribe and the human tribe has always been good. Many mercenary groups have received help from the beast tribe when adventures and hunting spirit beasts in the forest. Moreover, the Crazy Bear Tribe is not rich and has no oil and water to be reaped.

Or is it the Tianling Clan? All kinds of thoughts circling in Han Fei's mind, but he could not find any clues. He couldn't help but remember the situation that Elder Ibrahimovic, Han Wei'er, had entrusted to him a few days ago. Now, when he recalled, he seemed to have a little bit of a entrusting one's own.

Could it be that Elder Ibrahimovic had expected such a disaster, so he entrusted Weier to his own care? So since that is the case, why didn't he take the tribe to leave early to hide?

Han Fei's brows were twisted three times, and Han Wei'er in her arms gradually stopped crying.

Putting all doubts aside, Han Fei said softly: "Sister Weier, please go back to Xishui City with me first. I will entrust mercenaries to investigate this matter. I believe your grandpa will be fine and we will definitely be able to find him."

Han Weier nodded vigorously.

………

Xishui City in late spring and early summer is as prosperous and lively as ever, but unlike previous years, there is a bit of tension in Xishui City at this time, and there are obviously more city guards patrolling the streets.

Han Fei, who brought Han Wei'er back to Xishui City, obviously felt the strange atmosphere. Many groups of adventurers and mercenaries came and went in a hurry, as if something big was about to happen.

This was the first time in her life that Han Wei'er came to a human city. Everything in Xishui City made her feel novel, and the pedestrians traveling through the street made her instinctively feel a little afraid, and she couldn't help but pull Han Fei's arm tightly for fear of losing.

The most obvious beast-clan logo on her body - the furry tail had been wrapped around her waist and was blocked by leather armor. Although this made her body look less beautiful, there was no difference between becoming an ordinary human girl. However, her beautiful face still attracted many admiring gazes, but it was also within the normal range.

In order to let Han Weier get to know the environment in the city as soon as possible, Han Fei did not rent a carriage for transportation, but took her around.

There are also many orcs in Xishui City. Weier is smart by nature and can speak the common language. Her fear of coming to a new environment soon disappeared, and her concern for Elder Ibrahimovic was greatly reduced.

After walking around the city, Han Fei did not return home immediately, but took Weier to the mercenary union first.

The Mercenary Union of Xishui City is located in the East District, and its building size is second only to the Holy Church. There are endless mercenaries coming here to hand over tasks every day, and many people in need come to entrust. As long as there is enough money and it is not a matter of violating the mercenary principle, any request can be made.

The mission entrusted by Han Fei was of course to investigate the truth about the destruction of the Crazy Bear Tribe. He handed over the spirit crystals obtained from the Lightning Python to the union as a reward for the mission. I believe that this generous reward was enough to make many mercenaries moved.

When Han Weier understood what Han Fei had done, she felt a little more grateful in her eyes.
