In the pitch-black night sky, a crescent moon hung above. The faint and cold moonlight shone on the ground.
In the outskirts of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, within a pitch-black forest. The faint bonfire danced lightly, bringing a trace of warm light to the silent night.
Beside the bonfire, a Type 4 Wind Wolf King was resting with its eyes closed, playing chess with the Duke of Zhou. There was also a white-robed youth leaning against its back, playing with a tree trunk. As for the tree trunk in his hand, he was playing with the flames in boredom. "Well, tomorrow, but it's still hours away!”Chu Tiange couldn't help but complain.
Ever since he saw the Fairy Doctor's sorrowful eyes, a strong desire to protect someone suddenly rose in his heart. She would only enter the mountain to pick herbs after daybreak, but this kid missed her a little before midnight. All of a sudden, Tiange's mental power shook slightly. A faint crack came from a distant place along with a breeze.
At this moment, Little White suddenly quivered. It raised its head high and straightened its ears, listening carefully to the movements around it. It seemed to have sensed something and immediately attacked.
"There's no need to listen, Xiao Bai. Those guys are still ten miles away!”Tiange used her consciousness to communicate with Xiaobai. Then, Tiange thought to herself, Those who carry weapons in the forest are most likely going on adventures! However, those who walked in the Magical Beast Forest were definitely mercenary groups! Moreover, this was after nightfall. Although they were in the outskirts of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, there were still some Class 1 Magical Beasts! Although those low level Magical Beasts could only deal with those two star Dou Zhe…Could it be that those fellows had experts above the Dou Shi class? Hey, how interesting. Let's go and see what kind of people they are! It was raining anyway, so he had nothing to do.”
································
"Yes, there are a total of eight people, six men and two women. A three star Da Dou Shi leading seven around five or six star Xiao Dou Shi? Looking at their black robes and the weapons in their hands, as well as their valiant and bloody aura, they seemed to be a small team of mercenaries! However, were those guys stupid or were they kicked by a donkey? In this place, even if there was a Da Dou Shi, it was still very dangerous.”With a swoosh, Tiange appeared on top of a hill. Using his spiritual perception, he saw eight unknown adventurers.
The eight of them held their companions 'hands in one hand and held their weapons in the other. Everyone lined up in a row. They did not dare to start a fire on the left or right and just sat on the ground to rest. Tiange subconsciously sized up those eight people.""Hmm, not bad. You have a lot of spirit. The first person was a burly, strong-looking man with a scar on his face. He looked to be about 25 or 26 years old. His weapon was a long saber. The second person was short and thin, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only his eyes flickered with a terrifying light, and his weapon was a sword. Although the third, fourth, and sixth people looked ordinary, they had a resolute look on their faces. They should be the kind of people in the team who would die for them. The only one who had to be mentioned was the man in fifth place. He had blonde hair and looked like a woman, but not a woman, and like a man, but not a man. His facial features were beautifully combined. His eyebrows were like crescent moons, and his eyes were like stars. He was the only one in the team who did not wear a black robe. Instead, he wore a red robe and his weapon was a double-handed knife. The last two girls were delicate and pretty, while the other was cute. The two of them were the type who looked average up close, but from a distance, they looked more and more pleasing to the eye. Their weapons were a saber and a halberd.
At this moment, the guy who seemed to be the leader asked,"Gu Yue, are you sure we didn't go the wrong way? If we were to accidentally barge into Na Sen, even if I have the strength of a Da Dou Shi, it would be difficult for me to protect everyone!”
"Boss, don't worry! The map fragment in my hands is indeed authentic. Although we've been walking in this forest for half a day, I'm certain that we're still in the outskirts of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.”The man who was ranked second in the team, who had an evil look in his eyes, wore a black robe, and had an aura like a demon from hell, chuckled."Seventh Sister Manni has already secretly inquired about Qingshan Town. It is said that the Little Fairy Doctor has seen it and the information is very accurate.”
"Yes, Second Brother did ask me to go to Qingshan Town to inquire about it. I can assure you that that place really exists.”The girl in the seventh place, who had a ponytail and was about 1.75 meters tall, nodded and said,"Besides, I'm here too. I won't risk my life, right? Hey, Fifth Brother, what are you doing?”The girl looked at the fifth brother in the big red robe and saw that he had his head lowered as if he was bending his fingers.”
"If we calculate how many treasures we can find and add in some rare treasures or Qi Methods or Dou Techniques, oh my god!”The fifth brother suddenly raised his head and laughed softly."Then after we finish this, we can go home and retire…How wonderful! I can almost smell the fragrance of gold coins!”
"This miser." The remaining people sighed.
"Anyway, we won't be able to find it tonight. Let's rest here and take turns to change shifts.”The boss ordered.
"That's all. Moreover, tomorrow is the day that the Fairy Doctor enters the mountain to pick herbs. Even if we can't find it ourselves, we'll capture her and lead the way. Hmph, I don't believe that there's a mercenary group stronger than us in Qingshan Town. Hehe, even if Wolf Head's Guild Leader comes, any one of us can beat him down.”The second indecent-looking man who seemed to be a wise man in the team laughed sinisterly.
"Hmph, you're really bold! You actually dare to have designs on the Fairy Doctor. Do you think that my methods are fake?”Tian Ge was on a hill not far away and quietly listened to the other party's conversation. However, when he heard that those people wanted to kidnap the Fairy Doctor and lead the way, he was certain that they were here to find the Poison Master Treasury. With a cold snort, he leaped over.
The two of them were on duty. The remaining few people were lying on the ground as if they were discussing something. Suddenly, they saw a person fall from the sky and land in front of them. They were all shocked!
"Who are you?"
The mercenaries quickly gathered together and formed a triangular formation.
"Robbery."
Tiange didn't want to waste her breath on them, so she directly said something so meaningless.
There was a long silence…
" Hahahahaha!!"
The eight mercenaries burst into laughter at the same time. The leader was laughing so hard that he was swaying back and forth. Even the two women were laughing so hard that they were trembling. The wretched man named Gu Yue hid his entire face under his cloak and didn't move at all. He just stared at Tiange's handsome face and kept humming.
After they had laughed enough, the leader stepped forward and said with a smile,"I am the captain of the Saint Beast Mercenary Team, Shang Tianba. May I ask why you don't address me?"
Chu Tiange." After saying that, Tiange scratched her face and asked,""Why did you guys come up with such a crappy team name?”
"Humph."
Shang Tianba snorted coldly. He looked at the team members behind him and shouted,"Form up."
The remaining seven people quickly took their positions. Four of them stood at the back, the captain stood in the middle, and the remaining three stood on Shang Tianba's left and right. Only the second brother, Gu Yue, was half-squatting at the front. Their arms were either straight, pointed at the sky, or stretched out horizontally as they shouted,"Shang Tianba, Gu Yue, Shen Whale Blade, Shoubis, Nick, Mars, Hermanni, Li Xingyue. We are the Shang Gu Shen Shou Ni Ma Ni Li combination, the Saint Beast Mercenary Team.”
"Such a powerful team name, such a funny way of running to death, and their surnames. I really don't know how they came together.”Tiange quietly looked at those guys who were running to their deaths. A drop of cold sweat instantly rolled down her face as she smiled and said,""A valiant team name and a valiant surname. I admire you.”
