Vicious Wolf was confused. From the moment Shen Yanxiao joined the Cave Wolves Paying Army Corps, Vicious Wolf and the little one did not exchange a word. He still kept some conflict in his heart about the existence of this obstacle.
Du Lang actually asked this little boy about Phoenix, which was too funny. How could a fart brat know anything about that?
At her age, she guessed that she was still reading fairy tales, and she was afraid that this little boy had seen the name Phoenix from a fairy tale book.
“Huo Xiao, do you really know the habits of the Phoenix? If you know, please let us know so that we can make preparations in advance.” Du Lang asked hesitantly. Huo Xiao had apparently hidden some things from him. He could only extract some information about the Phoenix from his mouth as much as possible.
Shen Yanxiao glanced at Du Lang. He knew that even though he didn't say anything now, he would always find an opportunity to ask later.
“Phoenix belongs to the fire magic beast, good in fire magic attack. The Phoenix General's nest was built in a place with dense fire elements. Temperatures in the Phoenix area are often higher than some normal places.” Shen Yanxiao took some less important information and revealed it.
"Place with a dense fire element?" Du Lang narrowed his eyes. Shen Yanxiao's words gave him some information. Although the employer had deliberately hidden the location of the Phoenix nest, but if they knew the condition of the Phoenix area, then Du Lang could think of several possible areas based on those conditions.
“In the northeast of Long Xuan Empire, there is a Mountain called Ku Luo, where the fire element is very dense. The temperature was also much higher than many other places, and the plants growing on Mount Ku Luo were extremely heat-resistant iron trees and twilight fire grasses. However, there were often medium-level magical beasts roaming around. Few people set foot there. And because of the very few resources, usually no one goes to that place. According to what you said, the Phoenix nest will be located in a place with a dense fire element, then the closest place of this qualified Black City, I fear it is Mount Ku Luo.
Du Lang stopped, then continued, “The area around Mount Ku Luo was once one of the battlefields in the war between demons and gods thousands of years ago. This piece of land contained an extremely powerful elemental power due to the war between demons and gods. If people stayed on this land for too long, the tendons in their bodies would be destroyed by the strong elemental force. That's why there are no cities around Mount Ku Luo. It could be said that from Black City to Mount Ku Luo, one could not find a single silhouette of a person.”
In a sense, Mount Ku Luo was a forbidden area of the Long Xuan Empire.
Although the battle of demons and gods had occurred thousands of years ago, the great power of the Divine Race and the Demon Race remained in the human lands. And the place that became the main battlefield of this war was unable to produce any life even after thousands of years had passed. Even plants with strong vitality would never be able to survive.
Time did not remove the tragedy of the war from the eyes of the world, but as time went on, the silent force belonging to millions of years ago had told the world that the two races were the most powerful, have been involved in a world-shattering battle once on this piece of land.
Countless demons had fallen, purple blood covered the earth, and the Sacred Gods faced their deaths one by one, with their divine power taken away.
It was a history that everyone could not forget, a tragic battle between the Divine Race, the Devil Race, and the Human Race.
Based on the instructions given by Shen Yanxiao, Du Lang had calculated the possibility that they were heading to Mount Ku Luo. And at the same time, his expression also slightly changed.
"Mount Ku Luo ... If we really head there, then I'm afraid what we'll face isn't as simple as a rank eight magical beast." Du Lang's tone was somewhat dignified.
Shen Yanxiao did not know about Mount Ku Luo, but seeing Du Lang's dignified expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Mount Ku Luo it, what's with it?"
Du Lang looked at Shen Yanxiao, his tone slightly changed.
“The reason why no one dares to go to Mount Ku Luo is not just because of magical beasts and elemental powers, it is because in that place, there are many demons.”
"Devil?" Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows. Since his rebirth, he had heard many rumors about demons. The crystal core of those that Xiu absorbed was nearly 100,000. But he had never really seen the ferocious and terrifying creatures that those people were talking about.
Du Lang nodded and said, “Yes, the four countries in the Radiance Continent once joined but only managed to clear four safe areas. And even though countless demons had been cleansed, there were still many demons that managed to escape and hide in a remote mountain range like Mount Ku Luo. And since no one dared to stay here in Mount Ku Luo, it became a heaven of magical beasts and demons. Last time, there was a mercenary corps that accepted the mission of Mount Ku Luo, their mercenary corps numbered 100 people, yet only more than ten people were able to get out of Mount Ku Luo. The rest, if they are not killed by magical beasts, they are eaten by demons.”
A mercenary corps with a hundred people?
Isn't that a mid-sized mercenary corps?
The medium-sized mercenary corps, after entering Mount Ku Luo managed to escape but only in a bleak state of collapse, the danger level of Mount Ku Luo could be imagined.
It's just a big challenge to survive.
"Head, do you want to retreat?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Du Lang's skin which was becoming increasingly ugly. He was secretly helpless. Although he managed to hide the true level of the Phoenix so that Du Lang did not think of retreating, he did not think that with just a few clues, Du Lang could not only pinpoint the exact location of the Phoenix's nest, he did not think of retreating, but also know the danger of that place. Now it seems that Du Lang will most likely leave this team earlier than expected. If so, he would have to join the other mercenary corps to get a chance to snatch the Inflammation Grass.
Du Lang was silent for a moment before finally shaking his head.
“Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps will never stop from a mission, this is also a mercenary principle. Even if the mission has many dangers, we will still not break the agreement. This is the pride of the Cave Wolves Pay Army Corps, as long as we receive the mission, we will never return! Du Lang's voice was rather low, yet this part was unusually strong and powerful to the point that it still left people shocked.
Shen Yanxiao was slightly surprised for a moment. Du Lang who held on to their vows and pride really surprised him.
Du Lang was clear that the road ahead was most likely full of danger, but he had no intention of escaping.
Such a person, was a true mercenary!
Once a task is taken, regardless of life and death, they are bound to do their best to complete the task, even if they have to pay dearly for it.
Du Lang's declaration made Shen Yanxiao sigh nonstop. He glanced at Vicious Wolf who was sitting on the carriage and discovered that he did not have the slightest bit of hesitation even after hearing his conversation with Du Lang. In the face of Du Lang's insistence, Vicious Wolf was extremely calm, as if all of this was expected as a matter of course.
Shen Yanxiao could only sigh again. The Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps was indeed the top mercenary corps in Black City. Their head was a cautious leader, while its members inherited his beliefs, they would face any hardships and stubbornly maintain the glory of the mercenaries.
For a moment, Shen Yanxiao was moved by Du Lang's heroic decision. He sincerely admired this mighty mercenary head.
The number of Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps might not be many, and they might not be the best among all the mercenary corps in Long Xuan Empire, but they had confidence that many mercenaries had abandoned them. This illusory thing, in many cases had supported one to become someone with a powerful existence.
“It's just Mount Ku Luo, it's just the devil. Although it is dangerous, we have a lot of people at the moment. There are also many Senior Professions. And I think the strength of the 13 masters is definitely not low, even if the demons have the idea to attack us, they should first consider their own strength. Du Lang snorted. They had a team of over 1000 people, as long as they did not end up alone, not even demons would dare to attack them easily.
“The reason why the previous mercenary corps ended so tragically, other than facing demons and magical beasts, was also due to their own ignorance towards Mount Ku Luo. But now we know in advance the situation in Mount Ku Luo, so even though we have no choice but to leave, at least we will not be ready.” Du Lang said firmly. Since they already knew the situation they were about to face, he would naturally order his men to do more preparations.
Du Lang immediately called out to the mercenaries riding horses outside. He instructed a few words in his ear then let him pass the message to every brother in their carriage. Until everything was ordered, Du Lang's expression also eased a lot.
He believed that his brothers would never lose against those foolish demons.
Soon after, Du Lang asked Shen Yanxiao some things about the Phoenix again.
Perhaps because of the quality of******du Lang, Shen Yanxiao this time rarely spat out some important things. Du Lang was greatly astonished as he listened. As Shen Yanxiao uttered more of the Phoenix's habits, Du Lang's eyes became deeper and deeper as he looked at Shen Yanxiao.
This Huo Xiao was not simple at all! Inviting him this time was truly the right choice!
The two of them continued to speak and did not realize that Vicious Wolf, who had been sitting at the side without saying anything, had his eyes widened like a brass bell after hearing a series of information from Shen Yanxiao.
this boy …
Why does he know so much about Phoenix?
And watching the conversation between Shen Yanxiao and Du Lang, Vicious Wolf did not feel the other party was a thirteen-year-old brat. That calmness, that wisdom, where is the childish trail!?
