Chapter 62 Employer Cheng Xiao
A moment later, Alice handed Lu Ming a certificate.
"This is the mission certificate. Just take it to your employer."
Lu Ming took the certificate and turned away. He didn't want to waste time.
Based on the information on the certificate, Lu Ming found an employer.
"Are you a mercenary who accepted the mission?"
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler in front of Lu Ming looked at Lu Ming suspiciously.
"Don't you have proof in your hand?"
"But you are too young. Do you really have the ability to complete our mission?"
Lu Ming didn't say anything, but just stared at the butler with his cold eyes.
In an instant, the butler's whole body was covered with chills. He felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast and was in danger of death at any time.
Fortunately, Lu Ming only looked at him for a few seconds before looking away.
"Follow me now, don't waste time."
The housekeeper trembled, and his voice became much more respectful: "Please wait a moment, I will call my young master."
Soon the butler appeared in front of Lu Ming with his young master. The man looked to be about 8 years old and had a fair complexion, but he had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a million gold coins.
He is the real employer of this mission, Cheng Xiao!
"Master, he is the mercenary who accepted this mission..."
The butler opened his mouth and wanted to call out Lu Ming's code name, but forgot it and quickly looked at the certificate.
"Mr. Happy Cannon!"
Cheng Xiao's face was already gloomy when she saw Lu Ming, and now when she heard his name, her expression became even uglier.
"Are you kidding me?"
"We are here to hunt monsters. What can a child younger than me do?"
Cheng Xiao pointed at Lu Ming: "He is only a head taller than his weapon!"
The butler stammered, not knowing what to say.
He originally doubted Lu Ming's ability, but the other party's eyes just now made him feel that Lu Ming was not simple, so he called Cheng Xiao out.
Cheng Xiao was already in a bad mood, and now Lu Ming had become the fuse for his emotional outburst.
He glared at Lu Ming angrily: "And you, a little brat, don't you know your own weight? You dare to take any task!"
"With someone like you, let alone completing the mission, it's even a question whether you can survive if you encounter a monster!"
........
The more Cheng Xiao spoke, the angrier she became, and she even started pointing at Lu Ming's nose and cursing, which made Lu Ming very unhappy.
"Crack!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming took action.
He took a step forward and suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Xiao, reaching out his hand and pushing towards his chest.
Lu Ming’s sudden appearance scared Cheng Xiao, and he subconsciously launched a counterattack.
He raised his hand to block Lu Ming's hand, but Lu Ming's attack was not so easy to stop.
With a twisted hand, Lu Ming blocked Cheng Xiao's obstruction and pressed his hand on the other's chest.
The next second, Cheng Xiao felt hit by a huge force, and her body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
"boom"
Cheng Xiao crashed into the wall behind her, and the entire wall collapsed.
"Master!"
The butler screamed and rushed towards the ruins.
After a while, the housekeeper pulled Cheng Xiao out of the rubble.
"Master, are you okay?"
The housekeeper checked Cheng Xiao nervously, fearing that he might be hurt.
Cheng Xiao was confused at this moment: "How come I am fine?"
He looked at the ruins at his feet and a terrible thought came to his mind.
"He's a master!"
The butler checked and found that his young master was not hurt, and he felt relieved.
He turned his head and glared at Lu Ming: "What are you doing? How dare you attack your employer? I will file a complaint against you at the Mercenary Union. I will..."
"Butler, shut up!"
Before the housekeeper could finish his words, Cheng Xiao stopped him sternly.
He had already realized how powerful Lu Ming was, and his attitude changed immediately.
Lu Ming thought to himself, "He still has some vision, not completely stupid."
Lu Ming's move just now was both a warning to the other party and a demonstration of his own strength.
If Cheng Xiao didn't see his strength, he would give up this mission.
After all, it is very tiring to have bad teammates, and it may even bring trouble to yourself.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiao behaved normally and was not a brainless person.
"Pack up and let's get going. I have limited time!"
"Okay," Cheng Xiao agreed painfully.
Half an hour later, Lu Ming and his team set out for Black Stone Mountain.
Soon they arrived at the dense forest of Black Stone Mountain. Looking at the trees in front of him, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't expect you to be back so soon."
He roughly identified the direction: "Follow me!"
Lu Ming has lived in Black Stone Mountain for almost half a year. He is very familiar with this place and the distribution of monsters.
Although the territories of monsters are not fixed, most of them still follow certain tracks.
Tiger-like monsters are solitary and they are nocturnal animals. They like to rest in dark places during the day.
Lu Ming knew that there was a shady side on the west side of Black Stone Mountain, where there was only two hours of sunlight a day. It was a place where tiger-like monsters liked to live.
After arriving at the destination, Lu Ming immediately released the vampire bats.
"Go find a tiger monster."
The vampire bat immediately flapped its wings and flew into the dark forest.
Looking at the disappearing vampire bats, Cheng Xiao's eyes were filled with envy.
"Life Beast, I will soon have one too!"
Cheng Xiao is 8 years old this year. He awakened to become a fortune teller three years ago, but for various reasons he has never had his own fortune beast, so he is extremely eager for a fortune beast.
Lu Ming quickly sensed the message from the vampire bat.
"Found it, come with me."
After walking for a while, Lu Ming found the first tiger-like monster, which was a level 16 giant tiger.
Compared with other tiger monsters, the "王" character on the forehead of the Great King Tiger is bigger and more obvious, which is why it is named the Great King Tiger.
At this time, the vampire bat was hanging upside down on a tree branch, and Lu Ming did not let it attack the giant tiger.
With the current strength of the vampire bat at level 22, I'm afraid that this giant tiger will be sucked into a mummy before Lu Ming and his team arrive, and the mission will not be completed.
All Lu Ming needs to do is to cripple the big tiger and then let Cheng Xiao deliver the final blow.
Lu Ming's heart moved, and with a flash of light, the Iron-back Mantis was summoned out by Lu Ming.
Lu Ming has never shown his fortune book because he doesn't want others to know his level and strength. Preserving one's strength is the safest way to travel in the world.
Seeing Lu Ming release the second life beast, Cheng Xiao and the housekeeper were shocked.
"Two fate beasts, you are a scholar-level fate master!"
At Lu Ming's current age, it would be a genius for him to become a scholar.
It was not until this moment that Cheng Xiao truly began to take Lu Ming seriously.
The Ironback Mantis is extremely lethal and has no rivals against opponents of the same level, let alone a level 16 King Tiger. It will only take a few minutes to defeat it.
When Cheng Xiao came to his senses, the big tiger was already lying on the ground dying, waiting for his final blow.
"It's your turn now!"
Cheng Xiao also came to his senses at this time, and quickly ran towards Da Wanghu and stabbed him.
"Ow"
The big tiger let out one last wail and then completely lost its breath.
Half a minute later, Cheng Xiao sighed with a hint of disappointment: "No beast soul dropped!"
"With a one in ten drop chance, it's normal that no beast souls were dropped. Let's change and move on."
Under the detection of the vampire bats, Lu Ming was very efficient in hunting the monsters. In less than an hour, they had killed twelve tiger monsters.
"Roar"
The saber-toothed tiger roared in pain and its three-meter-long body collapsed to the ground.
Without even Lu Ming's signal, Cheng Xiao walked forward skillfully to deliver the final blow to the saber-toothed tiger.
Just as the saber-toothed tiger was about to make the final move, a cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
"Got you!"
