The moment Vermilion Bird said the word Holy Beast, Shen Yanxiao's emotions slightly changed. Knowing about Shen Yanxiao's purpose for this trip, Xiu naturally knew what she was worried about.
“However, if the Phoenix is indeed a Holy Beast, then I fear that even that mercenary is not enough to distract him. One minute is enough to kill them all.” Shen Yanxiao was a bit worried. There was no way she could rely on Vermilion Bird's strength alone to fight against the Phoenix Holy Beast, but she was confident she could still escape even if they couldn't fight the Phoenix.
But could he watch the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps die?
Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao's worried face and lightly said, "If that's the case, I'll help you protect their lives."
Xiu also wanted to keep the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps alive?
Shen Yanxiao was a little surprised. If they had really met the Sacred Phoenix Beast, even the Vermilion Bird had no way of dealing with it, yet Xiu suddenly said that he could save the lives of Du Lang and his friends?
It was the Holy Beast Phoenix!
All along, even though Shen Yanxiao knew that Xiu was strong, she had never really taken any action. Other than using his strength to unseal, he had never even used a shred of his strength. In the end, Shen Yanxiao did not know exactly how powerful Xiu was. The only thing he could confirm was that the current strong Xiu — was stronger than anyone he had ever seen before. And this Xiu was now only recovering a little bit of his strength, not all of his strength.
However, with just his current strength, he actually dared to fight with the Sacred Beast!
Who was Xiu in the end?
“But in my opinion, everything is not as bad as you think. Although the fire elements in Mount Ku Luo were extremely powerful, they were only slightly stronger than Vermilion Bird. Also, the fire element emitted by a genuine Holy Beast is slightly different, so you don't have to worry too much at all. I'm sure with your skills, even if you can't fight, you can still manage to escape. Xiu had already followed this little girl to this point. He had seen this child come and go freely in the treasury of the four great clans, and last time, he had entered the Pharmaceutical Warehouse of the Holy Roland School. With such an elusive ability, even if he faced a formidable enemy, he could still escape.
Hearing Xiu's remark, Shen Yanxiao felt even more relieved. He's not too worried about himself. After all, there were very few people in the entire world who could corner him, not to mention magical beasts. What he was really worried about was the Cave Wolves Pay Army Corps. This large group of mercenaries, although stupid, were all good people.
She now had nothing to worry about after Xiu promised her.
That's right, be it a Mythological Beast or a Sacred Beast, as long as I, this little grandpa, fix my gaze on something, nothing can prevent me from obtaining it, Shen Yanxiao smiled confidently. After the two people exchanged words, Shen Yanxiao immediately took back her consciousness from within her mind.
More than thousands of people walked towards Mount Ku Luo. As they moved closer and closer, an even stronger fire element came rushing over, making many incompetent mercenaries sweat profusely.
In the presence of such a powerful fire element, the average mercenary might not detect anything unusual, but the mercenary with that high-level profession had detected a trace of abnormality at this moment.
Was this powerful fire element actually emitted by a rank eight Phoenix?
Du Lang bided his time and asked the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps to remain united. He did not care about the cooperation among the heads of the mercenary corps that had been forced upon them before.
SNEAK PEEK FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
If the Phoenixes in Mount Ku Luo were outside of rank eight, then even the Cave Wolves Paying Army Corps would have a hard time protecting themselves, he said, especially if they were to help those who were not high-quality mercenaries?
Half an hour later, these more than a thousand people finally entered the rumored Mount Ku Luo.
Just stepping into the forest, the mercenaries felt a disgusting atmosphere drifting from the forest.
"That's a demon," Du Lang frowned and narrowed his eyes into the dense forest.
Du Lang: Get ready brother!
Vicious Wolf: I just hope it's not the devil.
Du Lang: That's right. It would be very difficult if it was the devil.
Wild Wolf: Sighing. If only I had a demon serving me instead.
Shen Yanxiao: Who are you talking about?
Du Lang: You know the demon..
Vicious Wolf: What is the slogan of that demon again??
Shen Yanxiao: I think you are wrong story!!
If the Phoenixes in Mount Ku Luo were outside of rank eight, then even the Cave Wolves Paying Army Corps would have a hard time protecting themselves, he said, especially if they were to help those who were not high-quality mercenaries?
Half an hour later, these people numbering over a thousand finally entered the rumored Mount Ku Luo. Just stepping into the forest, the mercenaries felt a disgusting atmosphere drifting from the forest. "That's a demon," Du Lang frowned and narrowed his eyes into the dense forest.
The remaining mercenaries became even more vigilant. The —monster Devils that exist in this world have brought many bad memories to humans.
Although they often had the task of exterminating demons, they often suffered heavy losses. The horror of the demons lies not only in their ferocity, but also in their cunning nature.
Although lower demons can be recognized well by humans, higher demons can turn into adult humans instead. They hid in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to act. Finding them is really hard.
This was the first time Shen Yanxiao was so close to the demons. Although he had yet to see the other party's true appearance, his heart was extremely excited. Demon ah! Xiu ah's favorite food! [TL razpyon: Hahaha! What's SYX! XD]
He wondered if they would fight some demons in this operation. If so, he could obtain some crystal nuclei. Not mentioning feeding Uncle Xiu, however, he could use it for the Purple Baron.
If Du Lang and the others knew that in such a dangerous environment, Shen Yanxiao was actually thinking such trivial things, they would probably faint on the spot. In front of this little girl, those terrifying demons that people avoided, could only be a good thing to feed a certain uncle and bow. It really made someone dumbfounded.
Fortunately, the demon did not intend to attack this large army of mercenaries. It simply lurked in the darkness and was observed for a while before disappearing without a trace.
From the beginning until now, it did not reveal its appearance, but they knew it was gone because that terrible breath had disappeared.
Shen Yanxiao was very depressed because she could not see the appearance of the demon.
However, the mercenaries were relieved. What they did not want to happen was that they had just stepped on Mount Ku Luo, but they had already encountered trouble. Lower demons like to act in groups.
No one knew what kind of trouble these demons could cause. Suffering many casualties was possible even before they saw Phoenix. Seeing the demons had left, many mercenaries were somehow relaxed, but Du Lang was not too optimistic.
“The devil is definitely not a simple lowly demon, or, with a lowly demon mind, as soon as it finds us, he will immediately run away because there is no place to break through. But the demon was watching for a while before disappearing; which proved he had a certain intelligence. To go this time, I don't know if I can call it a blessing or a curse, ” Du Lang said to remind his fellow mercenaries.
"Oh? Demons are as smart as humans?” Shen Yanxiao was not afraid of demons, but rather very interested.
“The mind of the middle demon is no different from the mind of ordinary people. The wisdom of the higher demons can be compared to many of the sages among us. But for the demons, appetite was always their first desire, so they preferred to hunt for food directly. Otherwise, if the higher demons can unite with each other, I'm afraid the eradication of demons at that time won't be that simple, ” Du Lang said carefully.
Shen Yanxiao chuckled. A thought came to his mind. It seems like there is still some distance from the Phoenix's nest. With the speed of their team, he was afraid that from this part of the mountain, they would reach the Phoenix's nest another day. It was already dusk, and it was expected that they would camp and rest when they were already halfway up the mountain.
Why didn't he use that time to look at the real demons? they'll reach the Phoenix's nest the next day. It was already dusk, and it was expected that they would camp and rest when they were already halfway up the mountain.
Along the way, although there were not many experts on this team of thousands of people, their winning numbers were quite solid. Other than meeting two low-level magical beasts in the forest, their journey could be said to be smooth. If it was only a team of a hundred people, perhaps magical beasts and demons might still have a little thought of moving, but their team of thousands of people looked extremely large. Therefore, after finding a large-scale team, all of the intermediate-level magical beasts and intermediate demons did not dare to act rashly.
Some low-level magical beasts who were unaware of the danger and whose levels were not high, had been surrounded and suppressed by this huge army in the blink of an eye. The magic core was received by the mercenary corps that had destroyed them. Before entering Mount Ku Luo, all of the mercenary heads had held onto their death-defying hearts, but when they entered, they discovered that the horrors here were far less than they had imagined, so their hearts hanging in the air finally fell.
If not for fear of delaying their advance, they might have already gone to the forest to kill many magical beasts to obtain the magic nucleus. Their entire path was unobstructed, causing all the mercenary corps to lower their vigilance. As the dim light of the night gradually enveloped the surroundings, they finally stopped in the middle of the road climbing the mountain and began to tidy themselves up. Shen Yanxiao was sitting on the edge of the bonfire while paying attention to the flames, but her mind floated into the forest. Their path is too smooth.
It was so delicate that it made him feel a little strange. Although medium-level magical beasts and intermediate demons could recognize that these people were hard to come by, but low-level magical beasts and lower demons should not have such perceptions. Along the way, aside from the two low-level magical beasts they had encountered at first, they did not even see a ghostly shadow.
Although Shen Yanxiao had never been to Mount Ku Luo before, she could guess the danger of Mount Ku Luo from the destruction of the mercenary corps that Du Lang had told her about before. The whole trip was very easy, making people uncomfortable. He felt that the absence of magical beasts and demons was not a good thing, but rather a bad thing. The danger that lay before them was terrifying, but the most deadly were those hidden in the darkness.
Shen Yanxiao had to say that the head of this mercenary corps was too relaxed. During their break, some mercenary corps completely mindlessly allowed their group of people to leave the camp and walk towards the depths of the forest. Looking at their faces, they were clearly interested in the magic nucleus of a low-level magical beast.
Not encountering any danger of meeting demons along the way, made this group of mercenaries have false knowledge about Mount Ku Luo. They began to feel that terrible rumors were not happening here and the destruction of the mercenary corps from before was definitely for another reason. The rumors got worse as it was spread from one mouth to another.
The two low-level magical beasts they had encountered earlier were not very dangerous, making the several heads of the mercenary corps not only relieved, but greedy as well.
After all, their task this time was the Phoenix, and the shadow of the Phoenix had yet to appear. Tonight, everyone was resting, so why didn't they use this time to earn some extra money because there was no such terrible thing here as the rumors about Mount Ku Luo said. Everyone who is greedy has the same mentality. That is, this Mount Ku Luo was actually not that bad. Even mid-level magical beasts had yet to appear.
