"Why are you so curious about that Archer?" another person in black asked in confusion. Previously, the main leader had still underestimated Du Lang even though he was at the top of the Senior profession. So why was he suddenly curious about this archer?
The main leader said, “You don't understand, but as a fellow Archer, I can see it very clearly. No matter how you look at those ten arrows, it could be said to be extremely extraordinary. When I was at the level of a Senior Archer, even I could not shoot such a beautiful punch at all.
Firing ten arrows at once and on target—how strong and arrogant is that!
The leader himself was also an Archer — an Archer who was even stronger than a Senior Archer. But according to him, if he were still at the level of a Senior Archer right now, he would not be able to stand on par with that Archer.
"Although he was only at the peak of Senior Archers right now, it was only the limit of his dou qi at the moment. As far as archery skills were concerned, they could be compared to Advanced Archers. So I was pretty sure that this man's talent and strength was much more than Du Lang. In the end, Du Lang's strength came from the powerful dou qi, but the Archer's strength lay in their skills. Dou qi can be determined, but skill is incomprehensible. A man with exceptional skill can even jump over ranks to face stronger opponents. That's the importance of skill for Archers." The main leader was not stingy in saluting the Archers. In his eyes, one could even see traces of fanaticism.
He could ignore Du Lang, but he had already put forward the idea of attracting these genius Archers to their side.
“Based on our current speed, we should be able to reach the Phoenix nest tonight. Although we should take the opportunity to complete the task, we should also pay attention to whether there are genius Archers among those mercenaries. If there is a chance, I would very much like to invite such a person to join our team, "the main leader said firmly.
No matter how high the primary leader's judgment towards Archers was, and no matter how surprised a certain mercenary head was with Archers, they were both wrong.
Big mistake!
What Senior Archer!? What peak power!?
If Shen Yanxiao heard that her random shots had really caused an astounding reaction from the two forces, she would have already separated her side from the laughter.
In reality, Shen Yanxiao's current achievement in the Archer Path had only reached the peak of the Intermediate level. There was still a bit of distance from Senior Archers. But the Warlock's ability to lock onto a target brought about an unexpected effect in his shot, causing the other two powers to arrive at unimaginable judgments.
However, Shen Yanxiao was not aware of all this. He had just been lurking on the side of the Cave Wolves Paying Army Corps as they advanced towards the peak of Mount Ku Luo.
As they got closer to the top of the mountain, the temperature in the entire Mount Ku Luo also increased. On both sides of the forest, faintly visible heat waves rose from the ground floor, and fire elements gushed out and spread throughout the forest.
A hint of red light enveloped the mountain peak, and everyone became excited as their eyes caught a glimpse of that red light.
They could finally see their destination — legendary magical beasts that had disappeared for hundreds of years — Phoenix!
A dim red light enveloped the entire hilltop of Mount Ku Luo, and as far as they could see, a red light was more concentrated at the top of the mountain. This red light contained a powerful fire element that gradually spread to the foot of the mountain.
Surrounded by such a powerful fire element, everyone's breathing became fast, and the air in their lungs became warmer.
“Soon, we'll see Phoenix. I hope everyone can join in and do their best to help us win Phoenix. I just need the heart of Phoenix, so you can share other stuff with each other with confidence.” At this crucial moment, the leader came out and let out a huge temptation in front of the crowd.
For these mercenaries, the most captivating thing in this mission was the rank eight magic nucleus. This is not your average magic core; this is the core that comes from the legendary Phoenix magical beast, so its value will definitely surpass that of other high-level magical beasts.
“Please rest assured. Since we have accepted the task, we will naturally do all we can to complete it, ” said a mercenary head with a righteous and firm face, yet his flickering eyes that contained excitement revealed his true thoughts.
“Then, I will humbly thank everyone here before. I promise as long as you can help me gain the Phoenix heart, each mercenary corps will be paid an additional 20% this time. The mercenary head was now lost in this alluring temptation. The mercenary group was immediately fired. The rewards of this task are already very generous, but now employers are actually increasing it 20% more. This mission is too profitable!
All the mercenaries were preparing for the battle, and they were marching excitedly towards the top of Mount Ku Luo.
Man will die for wealth, as birds for food; for the gold coins, they will charge forward!
Thousands of teams accelerated, and with astonishing speed, they advanced towards the top of Mount Ku Luo hill.
And those mercenaries, who had long been captivated and attracted by such temptations, never even realized that the moment they attacked, there was a cruel and insulting smile on the face of the master.
However, the main leader's facial expression still fell into one's eyes.
Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes towards the employer and his group who were walking behind the crowd. Although the leader had regained his composure at this moment, the expression he had just revealed shouted a warning to Shen Yanxiao.
He had a hunch that these people would not join them to deal with the Phoenix, and their goal was most likely something else.
“Head Du, by the time we will meet Phoenix, let all the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps be at the back. Don't face the Phoenix head-on, and if you can't fight anymore, then you should immediately retreat with your people from the top of the hill, Shen Yanxiao quickly walked over to Du Lang's side and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Huo Xiao, do you know anything?" Du Lang asked in a low voice.
Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly. The purpose of these employers is unclear. If their goal was not Phoenix, then he should pay more attention to their movements. But Du Lang was on the side where many people were. If they retreated this time, he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of others. After all, they had yet to see the Phoenix, if they already had cold feet, wanting to retreat from the fight and escape, he was afraid that this might cause a fatal blow to the reputation of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps.
SNEAK PEEK FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
Shen Yanxiao hesitated repeatedly before she decided to wake Du Lang up.
“Phoenix at the top of the mountain is definitely not just a high-level magical beast. It might even already be at the Mythological Beast level. With the strength of our team, it is impossible to rival it.”
Shen Yanxiao's words were like a heavy bomb that made Du Lang's heart open. He was initially skeptical that the information they received was untrue, but he dared not assert it. But now that he heard the information from Shen Yanxiao's mouth, his heart immediately sank to the bottom.
"I understand. I will let others pay more attention. If the mission fails due to false information, even the employer is not qualified to investigate it.” Du Land nodded, his heart was very grateful for Shen Yanxiao's reminder, otherwise, he was afraid of her emotions, he would definitely let his team take the lead in the battle with the Phoenix, then, when the time came and something went wrong, it was too late to back off again.
Shen Yanxiao: I'm glad you un-UGH I keep forgetting my dialogue!
Director Raz: Cut! What the hell is wrong with you? It's not like this is a long line.
Shen Yanxiao: I know but, can't I just shut up and smile?
Director Raz: Hmmm... It's okay too, come along!

Shen Yanxiao hesitated repeatedly before she decided to wake Du Lang up.
“Phoenix at the top of the mountain is definitely not just a high-level magical beast. It might even already be at the Mythological Beast level. With the strength of our team, it is impossible to rival it.”
Shen Yanxiao's words were like a heavy bomb that made Du Lang's heart open. He was initially skeptical that the information they received was untrue, but he dared not assert it. But now that he heard the information from Shen Yanxiao's mouth, his heart immediately sank to the bottom.
"I understand. I will let others pay more attention. If the mission fails due to false information, even the employer is not qualified to investigate it.” Du Lang nodded, and his heart was extremely grateful for Shen Yanxiao's reminder; otherwise, he was afraid of her emotions, he would definitely let his team take the lead in the battle with the Phoenix. Then, when the time came and something went wrong, it was too late to retreat again.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and did not say anything more. They began to gradually slow down their own pace until the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps was far away from the others. Although Vicious Wolf wanted to be by his side, Du Lang told him to come back.
Du Lang felt that the reason why Huo Xiao had told him this information at this time was probably because he would immediately leave the procession to handle his own affairs.
The reason why Shen Yanxiao slowed down was because she had discovered that the masters had deliberately distanced themselves from the team in front, lagging far behind. It is possible that they leave at any time, and this departure may be related to their true purpose.
This group of people spent a lot of money to hire these mercenaries to deal with the Phoenix, but they planned to leave at this crucial moment. That must be because there are more important things to do. Shen Yanxiao was very interested to know what their true purpose was.
When the main leader saw that thousands of troops had entered the mountain peak, he immediately pointed towards his companions. The ten black people immediately understood his intent and immediately dodged to the side of the forest, completely disappearing behind the great power.
As they entered the forest, a tiny figure followed.
In the forest, the speed of the ten men in black clothes increased significantly, and their legs were like riding the wind—they were unusually fast.
Ordinary people could not reach such speed. Of the entire Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, other than the seven wolves, no one could find an eighth person who could compare to these black-clothed people.
Clearly, the weakest of these masters had already reached the level of Senior in his profession.
Such a group of experts actually went to hire some much less power than their mercenaries. Their purpose really made others feel suspicious.
In terms of strength alone, Shen Yanxiao had trouble keeping up with the speed of these people. After all, each one of them was moving forward at their fastest speed even the trees in front of them were not enough to become their barrier.
Seeing that this group of people was about to leave his sight, Shen Yanxiao immediately took out a bottle of Acceleration Potion in her storage ring, then she drank it all. Instantly, his speed rose by one level and now it was enough to match the speed of those people.
Each Acceleration potion he drank would only be effective for three minutes. Shen Yanxiao's entire journey was now about ten minutes. However, Shen Yanxiao did not even care as she drank five or six bottles of the Acceleration potion consecutively. The value of one of them was already hundreds of gold coins, so in just over ten minutes, Shen Yanxiao had destroyed thousands of gold coins.
