Other than this person who had never treated money as money, there would probably not be a second person who committed such a crazy act.
Shen Yanxiao followed behind those people while her presence was cleverly hidden. With the moonlight necklaces, let alone the people dressed in black, even if Ouyang Huanyu, this Great Magister, replaced them, feeling Shen Yanxiao's presence was still very impossible.
With the way of hiding his breath coupled with Shen Yanxiao's skill, avoiding the sight of these people was only a simple matter.
The main leader was rather cautious. He had stopped four or five times in over ten minutes to see if anyone was following them, and they did not continue the journey until security was determined.
It was a pity that their detection methods were at the kindergarten level when it came to Shen Yanxiao. There is no pressure.
Shen Yanxiao watched them as they rushed to the top of Mount Ku Luo. The forest was filled with a red mist that was solidified by the flames around it. Suddenly, the group of people stopped and hid at the edge of the forest.
And right in front of them, a huge cave in the middle of the forest appeared. Inside this huge cave, streams of flames spread outwards.
Her breath under the soaring fire element made her think about the same scene that day when she first entered the cave where Vermillion Bird was sound asleep.
It was right there. It must be a Phoenix nest!
Shen Yanxiao's eyes twinkled at this moment. He had seen that at the entrance of the Phoenix's nest, some red Inflammation Grass fluttered in the wind!
This was the true purpose of his journey!
If not for her hesitation with the presence of over ten people in black, Shen Yanxiao would have long since slipped to the edge of the Phoenix's nest and stuffed her hands with some Inflammation Grass.
Merely, what are these people doing squatting here?
Is their goal still Phoenix?
Shen Yan Xiao frowned slightly. The people in black did not move any further, and it seemed like they were waiting for something.
Shortly after Shen Yanxiao's observation, a series of steps sounded not far away.
The mercenary corps in the vanguard had howled to attack as they moved closer to the border of the Phoenix nest. And before they arrived, they had all summoned their magical beasts.
Thousands of magical beasts along the side of his master had headed for the mountain peak. If summed up, the number of humans and animals together is enough to reach more than 2000. They instantly brought noise to the quiet and silent Mount Ku Luo.
This was the first time Shen Yanxiao had seen so many magical beasts. If not for today, he was afraid he had forgotten that in the world he was in now, everyone had their own ferocious beasts.
In Holy Roland School, there was a rule that prohibited students and mentors from summoning their magical beasts within the school environment. It's for the students to train their own abilities rather than relying on their magical beasts.
But now, he saw thousands of magical beasts at such a close distance, and it was a spectacular sight.
For the people of the Radiance Continent, when they became teenagers, they would obtain a ferocious beast that they could contract with. All of these ferocious beasts were captured or bought by the headmaster of their family.
However, the mercenary family background was generally not good. Otherwise, they would not have chosen such a high-risk job. They did not have a strong family to do support, so there would be no chance for them to obtain powerful magical beasts in their youth.
SNEAK PEEK FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
Magical beasts could be said to be the second combat power of these mercenaries, so they summoned their magical beasts before the fight started.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of troops and thousands of magical beasts rushed into the Phoenix's lair.
It was not fear and tension that was plastered on the faces of each mercenary. It was a bit of excitement that stirred up their emotions.
To them, although high-level magical beasts were extremely difficult targets, they were outnumbered this time around. With their great strength, isn't it easy to fight against a rank eight magical beast?
Some mercenary heads were already impatient to put their own teams on the front line, attack the Phoenix and get a good share.
Mercenay Random A: Ugh. How many chapters are we walking around now? When can we see Phoenix?
Mercenay Random B: Stupid. At least we got a long chance to be in this story. Enjoy these moments because we will soon be forgotten.
Mercenay Random C: You are right. I was really thinking about how to get into the Caves Wolves Mercenary Corps, they had been gossiping about the news that this was not their last appearance.
Mercenay Random A: True. I also heard they will be part of the MC*censored because spoiler*
Mercenay Random B: That's it. I will now join them!
πππππ
The family background of mercenaries was generally not good. Otherwise, they would not have chosen such a high-risk job. They did not have a strong family to do support, thus, they did not have the chance to obtain powerful magical beasts in their youth.
Magical beasts could be said to be the second combat power of these mercenaries, so they had summoned their magical beasts before the fight started.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of troops and thousands of magical beasts rushed into the Phoenix's lair.
It was not fear and tension that was plastered on the faces of each mercenary. Instead, their excitement aroused their emotions.
To them, although high-level magical beasts were extremely difficult targets, they were outnumbered this time around. With their great strength, isn't it easy to fight against a rank eight magical beast?
Some mercenary heads were already impatient to put their own teams on the front line, attack the Phoenix, and get a good share.
"Leader! That's a Phoenix's lair?" a mercenary looked at the large cave in front of them happily. The height of the cave was actually higher than the Mercenary Trade Union building. Such heights seem very impressive. The fire element that spread around told them that there was a Phoenix inside.
"It should be. I didn't expect that I would see Phoenix. You guys have to give me some spirit from the start of the fight, so we can fully deal with the Phoenix. And you all have to be smart, so if you can get more good stuff then get more. Do you guys hear me?" The mercenary chief had told his men to clear the battlefield. Clearly, Phoenix was truly nothing in the eyes of this group of people.
"Leader, why are the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps standing at the back?" Some sharp-eyed mercenaries stuck out their heads to look behind the large army that Du Lang and the others were in.
Du Lang, along with the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, stood behind the crowd, and a cautious expression plastered on his face as he looked into the cave in front of them. He could feel an extremely strong fire element coming from within the cave. They were stronger than any fire magic beast he had ever seen.
"It seems that Huo Xiao's speculation is absurd," Du Lang said to himself.
"Leader, what did you just say? What did Huo Xiao guess? Why did you order me to return a moment ago? You won't ask me to protect Huo Xiao now? Looks like I can't find him anymore. He's not lost, is he?" Vicious Wolf, who had been serving as a nanny all the way, suddenly heard Du Lang mutter in a suspicious tone. He looked for Shen Yanxiao's figure in the entire team but failed to find her. She was used to being his nanny. She was not used to not being one now.
Du Lang glanced at Vicious Wolf and said, "You don't have to worry about him right now. You just have to stay obedient and stay here." Shen Yanxiao did not give any explanation for her disappearance, and Du Lang knew that he had to do something, so he would not divulge his existence to others.
Vicious Wolf was extremely depressed. She was initially unhappy when assigned to be someone's nanny. The leader had only unilaterally pushed Huo Xiao to him, but now that he started taking care of him seriously, the leader had amazingly told him to forget about it ...
And the behavior of the current leader was too strange; instead of bringing his brothers to the forefront, he instead let them stay behind. This was not in line with the normal style of their strong and resolute Cave Wolf Mercenary Corps, ah!
ππππ
What happened to Du Lang?
It was not only Vicious Wolf who thought of this. The other five wolves were equally confused. But they would never question Du Lang's orders.
Du Lang's strange orders had suppressed every single heart of the members of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps. They could only watch the other mercenaries on the frontlines arrive at the Phoenix nest a hundred meters away.
The few mercenary heads standing in front were not entirely stupid. They had discussed with each other how they would handle the Phoenix from the nest. After all, his nest could not accommodate many people, and besides they still had magical beasts.
After their discussion, they sent five wind magical beasts to the Phoenix's lair to lure the Phoenix out.
Among all the magical beasts, wind magical beasts had the fastest speed. Under the orders of its owner, the five half-human-tall wind monsters immediately went towards the lair filled with fire elements.
All the mercenary eyes were now locked in front of the Phoenix's lair.
However, just as the five wind magical beasts stepped into the Phoenix's nest, a red flame shot out from the Phoenix's nest, and this flame over ten meters wide instantly engulfed the five wind magical beasts. The crowd still had not reacted when the five wind magical beasts known for their speed had been turned into ashes by the sea of flames!
A powerful Phoenix cry then resounded straight into the sky!
It makes all their eardrums sting!
The temperature at the peak of Mount Ku Luo instantly rose to an irresistible point; the hot temperature enveloped everyone.
The earth trembled slightly as a dazzling fire-colored light flew out from the dark cave like lightning.
Like a red sun, it hung high above the heads of the crowd.
It was only after the light faded that the great and magnificent king of birds was seen in front of the crowd.
In front of such a beast, these thousands of troops unexpectedly seemed extremely small. The height of the Phoenix actually exceeded a five-story building.
A pair of huge fire wings stretched out like a huge net, blocking the sun and leaving only a brilliant flame!
The magnificent Phoenix's tail floated in the air, and on top of those beautiful red feathers, a bright flame lit up quietly. The beautiful Phoenix flames made the group of people unable to turn their eyes away. However, this beauty was also an extremely deadly force!
βRank... Rank eight Phoenix? This is rank eight Phoenix?β
Everyone is really dumbfounded. In front of their eyes was a huge and dazzling Phoenix. Although this was the first time they had seen him in their lives, even if they were killed, they would not believe that such a powerful and suffocating magical beast was only a rank eight magical beast!
By the time the Phoenix appeared, the magical beasts that were all standing upright at the side of its master all fell to the ground, trembling unceasingly like frightened quails.
βThis is a Mythological Beast! This Phoenix is a Mythological Beast!β It was unknown who was shouting among the crowd, but the two words "Mythological Beast" were like thunder splitting everyone's hearts as a series of heartbeats rang out.
Everyone thought this moment was a nightmare.
They did not think that the Phoenix that they considered to be a rank eight high-level magical beast would turn into something that they only heard about in the legends of the β Mythological Beast!
Mythological Beast!
It was indeed out of reach, but it was an extremely powerful level that could make valiant men tremble in fear.
SNEAK PEEK FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
βEveryone immediately pulls back your magical beast. Get out of here immediately. The information for the mission was wrong. We can't stay here!β
Right after Du Lang issued his order, Phoenix began to vent his dissatisfaction towards the humans invading his territory.
Fire began to fall from the sky, like a rain of fire that swayed over the earth. Each flame was the size of a palm. Whatever he touches, he will soon be engulfed in a blazing fire.
At once, a series of wails filled the entire Mount Ku Luo. Endless horror and devastating disaster made the stunned mercenaries recover their senses, and suddenly escape disorderly in the direction from which they came.
Phoenix: Feel my anger! You are good for useless humans! How dare you step on my lair!
Phoenix: Burn my fire!
Phoenix: Accept your destiny!
Phoenix: Who cares if it's almost Christmas! This will be my Christmas gift to you stupid humans who can only be cannon fodder! HAHAHAHA!
Mercenary: ( β β¬)
