After a short moment of jubilation, everyone's excited and passionate gazes focused on the man and wolf not far away. Only then did they realize that it was a black-robed youth with a cold expression.
Ao Feng put away her Army Destroying Short Blade, and Fang, who was beside her, turned into an ordinary silver wolf. The mercenaries consciously made way for her, looking at her with surprise, respect, and gratitude in their eyes. At the critical moment, the imposing manner of appearing from the sky had already intimidated everyone present.
Cedan and Weino let out a breath and turned to look at the man in black who was walking towards them. When they saw him, the shock in their hearts gushed out like a tidal wave. They had not seen her clearly in the battle just now. Now, they saw that it was such a young and handsome youth.
"Mimicry? That's actually a Sacred Beast!" The breath that had just been exhaled was sucked back in. The Titan had traveled all over the world and had a wide range of knowledge. Naturally, he understood that only holy beast level magical beasts could use mimicry. The gaze he looked at Ao Feng was even more shocked. Which big family's young master was this?
Unless it was a large aristocratic family, it was impossible for ordinary people to obtain such a high-level mirage beast.
Zitan stepped forward and bowed respectfully. He clenched his right fist and gestured at his left chest, bowing deeply."Young Lord Illusionist, thank you very much for your help! I, Zitan, from Red Refined, hereby offer my respect to you.”
Ao Feng looked around but didn't see Rong Luo. He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed and said lightly,"You guys should harvest the spoils of war. You have to leave this place quickly, or else the smell of blood will attract more ghouls.”
The surrounding mercenaries were immediately pleasantly surprised. Although the ghoul was at the bottom of the nine-star magical beasts and emitted an extremely disgusting smell, its body was full of treasures. Its claws, teeth, and magical crystals could be sold for money. Ao Feng asked them to harvest the spoils of war, which meant that he was giving them this wealth. Even if they did not complete the mission, this trip could be considered a bountiful harvest.
The corpses of dozens of nine-star magical beasts were nothing to Ao Feng. Moreover, his thoughts were all on the dragon fruit at the Soul Breaking Cliff.
"Thank you for your generosity!" Thetan smiled respectfully and joyfully. He hurriedly commanded the deployment to clear the battlefield as quickly as possible. Then, he left the original place with Ao Feng and continued to move in the direction of the Broken Soul Cliff.
After a brief introduction by Citan, Ao Feng roughly understood the identity of this group of people. They were the ninth squad of the Red Smelting Mercenary Group. Citan and Rong Luo were brothers who had a very good relationship.
Rong Luo had brought some people who had just left Qin City to participate in the wave of magical beasts in Sun Never Sets City. Meanwhile, Zitan's ninth team had just accepted the task of collecting dragon fruits nearby. They planned to come here to pick the dragon fruits and then meet up with Rong Luo on the way back. However, they were unlucky enough to encounter a large group of ghouls.
"Are you guys going to look for dragon fruits too?" Ao Feng frowned and reminded,""But as far as I know, there are many spirit beasts resting on the Broken Soul Cliff. Even if it's a spirit beast, I'm afraid your team won't be able to withstand it.”
"It was Lord Zhuiyun's magical beast that sensed it, right?”Zitan looked at Fang with some envy, and then looked at Ao Feng, who had a cool expression and rarely spoke. He was even more certain of his guess. Only holy beasts could sense the aura of other high-star spiritual beasts.
Wei Nuo laughed and added,"It turns out that my lord is also here for the dragon fruit. Then you've found the right person. In fact, our team accepted this mission last year and discovered a secret.”
"Secret?" Ao Feng raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, sir. Actually, there's more than one growth point for dragon fruits.”Titan said to Ao Feng without hiding anything,"There is indeed a dragon fruit in front of the Broken Soul Cliff. When it matures, it will attract many mercenaries and magical beasts. At that time, there will probably be a big fight ahead. "But last year, when Wei Nuo and I came here, we accidentally walked into a hidden deep valley that led straight to the abyss behind the Soul Breaking Cliff. We didn't expect that there would be dragon fruits growing there, and it seemed to be the nest of a Sacred Beast. We took advantage of the time when the Sacred Beast of Chaos left outside to pick the dragon fruits and hand in the mission.”
The dragon fruit would ripen once a year. As long as one knew the growing point, they could come and pick it every year. Caesar had told Ao Feng about this matter, which undoubtedly meant that he trusted her very much.
Seeing Ao Feng's slightly furrowed brows, Zitan smiled calmly.""Lord Zhuiyun, you don't have to worry. You've saved so many of us here. We don't care about a mere dragon fruit. If we can only find one, of course, it's yours. Even if there are many, we only need one to hand in the mission.”
The loyal Red Smelting Mercenaries would not be stingy with their savior.
"Thank you. Dragon fruit is very important to me at this stage, so I won't refuse.”Ao Feng smiled slightly and sighed inwardly. It was indeed karma. If she had not saved this group of people, perhaps she would still be having a headache about how to obtain the dragon fruit in front of the Broken Soul Cliff that everyone was eyeing covetously.
After the group finished their discussion, their eyes lit up. The giant trees above their heads gradually decreased, and their field of vision suddenly widened.
In front of them was a towering mountain range that extended into the distance. The roars of ancient ferocious beasts could be faintly heard from within, causing one's heart to palpitate. In the distance, the Broken Soul Cliff could be seen. On the cliff, a jade-green crystalline plant could be seen from afar. Among the few green leaves, a fiery red fruit was unusually eye-catching. However, it was still wrapped in the green leaves and had not fully matured.
"Lord, after the dragon fruit is fully ripe, the green leaves beside it will fully open. We'll wait here for the dragon fruit in front to mature, and then take advantage of the chaos to go around the valley.”Caesar said to Ao Feng in a low voice.
Ao Feng nodded indifferently." We can't even afford to wait for this little bit of time to set up camp. We won't be able to succeed in anything we do."”
Hearing this, Xi Tan and Wei Nuo looked at each other and smiled, admiring Ao Feng even more.
He was clearly the son of an arrogant noble family, but not only was he powerful, but he was also steady and calm in his actions. There was no hint of impetuousness or complacency. Although she was cool, and her cold face seemed to reject people thousands of miles away, she did not feel stiff when she interacted with them. Instead, it made people feel that it was natural and made people respect her even more.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw a large group of adventurers and mercenaries surrounding them. Most of the adventurers and mercenaries were Swordsmen and Illusionists with Seven Stars and above. Many of them had reached Tier 2. When they saw the Fire Mark on every member of the Red Smelting Mercenary Group, they could not help but reveal surprised expressions and discuss among themselves.
"It's the Red Smelting Mercenaries!"
"The number one mercenary group on the continent. They're here to pick dragon fruits too? This is bad, this is bad. I'm afraid we have no hope!”
"Sigh, even if it's the Red Smelting Mercenary Group, it's hard to say if they can get the dragon fruit under the claws of the spirit beast. When the time comes, it'll depend on who can snatch it faster.”
Just as everyone was in the midst of a heated discussion, Ao Feng and the other two who were stationed in front of the camp suddenly heard a sarcastic laugh.
"Chi Lian? Is it that amazing? I, Balbo, don't believe it! Rong Luo, that coward, he was resting in Sun Never Sets, but he asked you to come over and sell your life for him. Haha…"
Coward?
A cold light flashed in Ao Feng's eyes. He turned his head and saw the person who had mocked him walking to the front of the Red Smelting Camp under the escort of a large group of mercenaries. It was a young man in his mid-twenties with his hair standing up and a wing symbol on his shoulder.
"Flying Mercenary Group?" As if he had seen this symbol before, Ao Feng immediately recalled it.
