"That's a Saint Illusion Beast that's still in its infancy.”Jun Luoyu's eyes flashed and then he slowly said,"This magical beast itself is still very weak and not terrifying. However, there is an adult spirit magical beast, the Azure Wolf, beside him. Moreover, they have hidden in the depths of Xiangnan Forest, which greatly increases the difficulty of searching. What we need is the connections of the various large mercenary groups and the nearby large factions.”
Pausing for a moment, Jun Luoyu continued: " The Radiant Temple only needs that magical beast with some special abilities in its infancy. Whoever can capture the Azure Winged Ash Wolf will be the spoils of war. However, everyone should know that venturing deep into the Xiangnan Forest is extremely dangerous. If you want to retreat, it's not too late.”
Even so, after this explanation, the breathing of the leaders in the tent became heavier, and a determined gleam flashed across their eyes.
This time, apart from the Radiant Illusory Temple behind Jun Luoyu, there were also seven other forces with their own camps. The top three mercenary groups of the continent, the Kaya Empire's Mo Clan, Su Clan, Xue Clan, and Qin City's Qin Clan led by Qin Wu. However, Qin Wu could not represent the Qin Clan Headquarters. It could only be said that it was a private operation of a branch. Therefore, he could not rely on the power of the Qin Clan and was also very afraid of Jun Luo Yu.
"Sage Emperor, it is our honor to serve the Radiant Illusory Temple!”Everyone expressed their determination without even thinking.
Ao Feng stood behind Jun Luo Yu and quietly listened, his heart was also extremely shocked. According to Ao Feng's memories, the preciousness of a Saint Illusion Beast could not be measured by wealth. If it was sent to some of the Empire's underground auction houses, it could be sold for a high price of tens of millions of Obis! Moreover, it was priceless.
The currency of this world, Obis, was ranked at the top of the pyramid. 100 gold coins were exchanged for 1 gem coin, and 100 gem coins were exchanged for 1 Obis. If this was exchanged for gold coins, how many houses would be filled?
An adult spirit beast was also something that could only be found by luck. A young spirit beast had no attack power, and unless there were special circumstances, it would take five to ten years to train it. As for an adult magic beast, as long as it was tamed, it could immediately be used by an illusionist. The Azure Wolf belonged to the Wolf family, the number one killer of the power attack family. Its sharp claws and fangs could even tear through the battle armor of a Templar. Moreover, it could fly in the sky with a pair of wings, and it was extremely impressive.
So what if it was dangerous? In the face of huge benefits, who would retreat?
Ao Feng's eyes were filled with a faint longing. If there was such a flying magical beast, riding it everywhere would probably be even more refreshing than riding a helicopter, right? Just as he was thinking, he heard a gentle and clear soul transmission.
"If you want the Azure Winged Ash Wolf, I'll catch it for you later.”
Raising her eyes, Jun Luo Yu smiled at her, as if he had seen through her thoughts. His expression was extremely serious. Even in this busy summit meeting, he had always paid attention to her, not forgetting her.
What others regarded as a treasure, he said it lightly and casually. His leisurely attitude was simply infuriating. If anyone present heard it, it would be strange if they didn't vomit blood from anger.
Ao Feng smiled slightly, but shook his head.
It wasn't that she was being generous, nor was Jun Luo Yu joking. If it was possible, she naturally wouldn't want to refuse. However, at this moment, she still didn't have the ability. Let alone a spirit mirage beast, she couldn't even tame a one star mirage beast. Although she had gotten rid of the title of trash, due to Qin Aofeng's strange physique, she was still unable to condense illusionary power and could not become an illusionary master at all. If he tamed the Green-Winged Ash Wolf and gave it to her, she could only watch helplessly.
As if he had understood something, Jun Luoyu no longer insisted. He looked around and a satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face. With the might of a commander, he nodded and said,"Then everyone should rest and reorganize your team. We will set off tomorrow morning. Ignore the other small mercenary groups and adventurers. They are only planning to follow us to get some benefits.”
This A-rank mission had also attracted many small mercenary groups. Normally, they did not dare to go to the dangerous Xiangnan Forest to capture magical beasts. Now that they had such a rare opportunity to fish in troubled waters, no one was willing to let it go.
The deputy leader of the Wolf Troops, Qiu Beard, glanced outside and shook his head in disdain."It won't be long before Xiangnan Forest shows them what terror is.”
After discussing the departure time, everyone returned to their tents to rest. At the same time, they sent out their scouts to search for the whereabouts of the young Saint Illusion Beast and the Green-winged Ash Wolf. Unknowingly, night fell.
Under the starry sky, the red glow of the bonfire reflected the energetic faces of the mercenaries. The experienced mercenaries who traveled all year round hunted a few wild animals in the surrounding dense forest and roasted them on the spot. The fragrance spread everywhere. The entire camp was a lively scene.
Jun Luo Yu went out alone in the evening. Ao Feng was bored in the tent alone, so he came out to get some fresh air.
"Seventh Young Master! You're out too. Come and have a drink!”
"Seventh Young Master, let's have some barbecue together!”
Ao Feng had just walked out of the camp when she heard loud shouts coming from the bonfire not far behind her. Two hot-blooded men were carrying wooden barrels of wine that were bigger than their heads, smiling at her foolishly.
The vast forest, the dark starry sky, the passionate mercenaries…
Under the starry night, in the wilderness, a sense of heroism slowly grew uncontrollably in his chest.
Ao Feng shrugged and smiled. If it wasn't for the winter night wind that made her face hurt, she might have thought that this was a dream. Today, she had completely digested Qin Aofeng's memories and was familiar with every bit of this place. After transmigrating to such a magical world, she wasn't afraid. Instead, she was filled with anticipation.
If she was not dead, then Yun Shitian's soul might not have died either. Perhaps she had also come to this world called Luska.
They had agreed to be comrades in their next life. As long as the Sky Splitter was still on this mainland, as long as she continued to become stronger and more famous, this agreement would come true sooner or later.
Walking closer to the group of mercenaries, Ao Feng realized that this was actually the resting area of the Red Smelting Mercenaries. The handsome young master of the mercenary group, Rong Luo, was skillfully roasting a whole lamb. The wonderful fragrance made people feel refreshed and hungry. When he saw Ao Feng, he smiled at her and waved her over.
"It's just roasted. Try it." Rong Luo used a dagger to slice off a piece of golden yellow roasted meat and brought it to Ao Feng. The young man's body emitted an indescribable affinity, the aura of a leader was extremely prominent. His body did not have the natural elegance of Jun Luo Yu, but he carried the unique straightforwardness of mercenaries, a man with a true temperament.
Ao Feng had a good impression of this man who was the first to stand up twice, sincerely congratulate her and apologize to her. She did not stand on ceremony with him and sat down beside him. She stuffed the roasted meat into her mouth and chewed it in large mouthfuls. She also drank half a barrel of rum in one breath. She was extremely happy and spared no effort to praise him."Delicious!"
In his previous life, he was a mercenary, and he was a little forthright. He had a special sense of intimacy with mercenaries.
"Haha, refreshing! Little brother Ao Feng, your performance today is too admirable. If it wasn't for the Sage Emperor being the first to arrive, I really would have recruited you into our mercenary group.”Ao Feng's actions quickly won the favor of many mercenaries. Rong Luo also patted Ao Feng's shoulder affectionately.
The eyes of the surrounding female mercenaries all lit up as they stared intently at the handsome young master and such a handsome youth sitting together. No matter which one it was, it made their hearts beat non-stop. Their faces became even redder under the illumination of the bonfire. They secretly thought that they were really lucky today. A few bold ones even threw flirtatious glances at him from time to time.
However, Rong Luo and Ao Feng were chatting happily and didn't have time to pay attention to them, which disappointed the female mercenaries.
Ao Feng took another bite of the mutton and shook his head.""Big brother Rong Luo, don't make fun of me. I know my own limits. A mere 6-star swordsman isn't worthy of being recruited by the continent's number one mercenary group.”
A faint worry surfaced in his heart. Ao Feng understood that the reason why she was in the limelight and the people from the various major powers congratulated her was mainly because they were afraid of Jun Luo Yu. Otherwise, with her current Six Star Swordsman strength that was not even a Seven Star Swordsman, she was not worthy of being guarded against by any major figures. Which one of those leaders wasn't a great illusionist or above? In this world, illusionists were the mainstream of the strong. It was very difficult for illusionists to be truly respected.
She did not regret hurting Qin Aoxin, but she would definitely incur the enmity of Qin Wu and his son and endless framing. Even now, some of the Qin family's disciples were staring at her coldly from afar. The trouble was far from over. Not to mention Qin Wu, she might not even be a match for Qin Aoluo, the Seven Sword Illusionist.
Jun Luo Yu had always protected her, but Ao Feng didn't want to be protected by Jun Luo Yu forever. She had never wanted to be a woman who could only be protected by others. However, in a short period of time, she couldn't find a way to break through this difficulty.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Rong Luo hurriedly waved his hand, staring at her and sighing: "I truly like your personality. Today, when you said that dignity is priceless, I was deeply shocked. No one has ever given me such a feeling. If not for that, I wouldn't have apologized to you, even if it was a heavenly illusionist like the Sage Emperor. I have always believed that strength is secondary. Even if a person with a firm and unyielding personality does not have great achievements in cultivation, he can still succeed in other aspects. Therefore, little brother Ao Feng, I have high hopes for you.”
Rong Luo, the young master of the continent's number one mercenary group, a genius illusionist of his generation. Although he couldn't be compared to a terrifying monster like Jun Luo Yu, he was still a well-known young figure on the Luska Road. Hearing him say such words, Ao Feng felt that this man's achievements today were not due to luck.
"Big brother Rong, just call me Ao Feng. You're really a good person.”Such a conversation brought the distance between the two of them closer by quite a bit, Ao Feng was very touched in his heart.
"So what if you're good? Didn't the Sage Emperor still snatch you away?”Rong Luo felt extremely comfortable being called big brother Rong. He joked, completely unaware of how ambiguous this way of speaking was.
Ao Feng shook his head." Jun Luo Yu and I didn't sign a contract to sell ourselves. We're only acting as his bodyguards for this mission. Although it's a bit complicated whether he'll protect me or I'll protect him…"
"Oh? Rong Luo carefully looked at Qin Aoluo who was coldly glancing at them from time to time. He took out a flame coat of arms and put it into Ao Feng's hand."Ao Feng, the Sage Emperor will have to leave sooner or later. If one day you really can't survive, bring this thing to the Red Smelting Mercenaries and look for me. No matter how useless it is, following me is still better than always being bullied in Qin City.”
" Eh, Scarlet Flame Token, Young Master, you…this…" A half-drunk mercenary beside him saw this scene in a daze and almost woke up from his drunkenness. He never thought that Young Master would casually hand over the Scarlet Flame Token to a youth he had just met.
Rong Luo glared at the mercenary. He didn't get angry, but he was intimidating. He scared the mercenary back.
Just by looking at the mercenary's expression, Ao Feng knew how precious this little Scarlet Flame Token was. Facing Rong Luo's kindness, she was even more moved. She didn't pretend and directly put it away. Jun Luo Yu would have to leave sooner or later. The Hall of Illusions was similar to a religious church. That kind of place was not suitable for her. Having this thing was an additional path. With difficulties in front of her, being polite would be hypocritical.
"Brother Rong, thank you." Ao Feng revealed a rather brilliant smile, instantly stunning all the men and women around him. It was the first time such a handsome young man revealed such a dazzling smile. Not only the female mercenaries, but even the burly men felt their eyes light up.
" Cough cough…No need, no need…" Rong Luo, who was almost electrocuted, finally came back to his senses. He coughed awkwardly to cover up his loss of composure.
"Brother Rong, let's talk about the mission. Is Xiangnan Forest really that scary?”Ao Feng changed the topic.
The smile on Rong Luo's handsome face faded a little, and he nodded solemnly: "Although the Xiangnan Forest isn't as vast as the Sun Never Sets, it's still a place where large numbers of magical beasts roam around all year round. Let alone ordinary illusionists, even sky illusionists don't dare to enter. There are countless magical beasts here, and once a terrifying magical beast tide erupts, it's impossible to defend against it unless we use a human wave tactic. Otherwise, the Sage Emperor could go after that Saint Illusion Beast alone, so why would he summon us here?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and mournful howl suddenly came from the depths of Xiangnan Forest. It was slow and loud, and it made people's hearts pound. The mercenaries stood up in panic and looked over. An ominous feeling instantly enveloped the earth, and even the bonfire in the camp began to chill.
