"Tomorrow morning, gather at the city gate at five o'clock." Scarface finished speaking and glanced lightly at Zhang Hao, smiling meaningfully. He turned and left with his people.
Outside the Mercenary Guild, a white-haired youth looked at Scarface and said flatteringly, "Leader, you are brilliant! By bringing three people along, you earned thirty lower grade crystal stones."
"That youth just now took out thirty lower grade crystal stones. Do you think they only have thirty lower grade crystal stones?" Scarface's eyes were very sinister.
"Ah, Leader, you mean..." The white-haired youth seemed to understand something.
Scarface smiled sinisterly and said, "Don't forget our old profession just because you've been a mercenary for a few days."
"Hahaha..."
The people of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group all burst into laughter.
The mercenaries of this Poison Wolf Mercenary Group were a group of bandits several years ago. They were proficient in murder, robbery, rape, and plunder. It was only later, because they robbed the caravan of a certain major power, that they stirred up a hornet's nest. This forced them to conceal their identities, and they eventually drifted to Flying Sky City and formed a Mercenary Group.
As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots. Although they became mercenaries, their nature did not change. They still committed murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil. Some unsuspecting employers often suffered great losses. It was even common for many employers to lose both their wealth and lives after hiring them. This was only because the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group's methods were meticulous. Although many powers suspected them, they ultimately did not find any evidence.
Early the next morning, Zhang Hao met up with the people from the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group at the city gate on time. The Poison Wolf Mercenary Group had over a hundred people. Zhang Hao found that the strength of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group was not to be underestimated.
Besides Scarface, the leader of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group, who was a Martial King, the deputy leader was One-Eyed Dragon, a Half-Step Martial King. There were also ten other high-level Great Martial Master members who were the backbone of the entire Poison Wolf Mercenary Group.
Most of the other members were also at the Great Martial Master cultivation level. It can be said that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group was indeed a B-level Mercenary Group.
In the True Martial Continent, Mercenary Groups are divided into SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D levels. An S-level mercenary is a legend in the True Martial Continent. A-level is the strongest Mercenary Group in the normal state. B-level Mercenary Groups are also considered powerful Mercenary Groups in the mercenary Ranks. As for C-level and D-level Mercenary Groups, they are considered relatively weaker Mercenary Groups in the mercenary world.
As Mercenary Groups, they all desire to improve the level of their Mercenary Group. This is because only by improving the level of the Mercenary Group can they accept some high-level tasks. The higher the level of the task, the higher the commission naturally. To improve the level of a Mercenary Group, they naturally need to do some tasks. For each level, successfully completing a certain amount of tasks allows them to upgrade.
"Alright, since you're here, let's hit the road! However, let me say this first, although we have accepted thirty lower grade crystal stones from you, along the way, we are not responsible for your food, nor do we protect you. We are only responsible for taking you to Dragon Seeking Valley," Scarface said indifferently.
Ye Yun snorted and said, "Your fees are really expensive. You don't protect or provide food, and you charge thirty lower grade crystal stones. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were an S-level mercenary!"
Scarface heard this and said without changing his expression, "Hehe, you can refuse completely!"
Zhang Hao felt a little unhappy, but since it was said beforehand, he could only accept it. He gave Ye Yun a look and said, "Let's go, stop talking."
"Hmph!"
Ye Yun was clearly still a little unhappy. However, since Zhang Hao didn't say anything, she could only reluctantly accept.
Looking at Song Sitian beside him, the little sister had changed into a tight-fitting suit, no longer wearing her original skirt. Although she lacked a hint of charm, she had gained a few points of heroic spirit. The tight-fitting suit perfectly outlined her beautiful figure. No wonder the people of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group kept glancing at Song Sitian, their eyes full of lewdness.
Zhang Hao actually didn't want to bring this girl with him to Dragon Seeking Valley this time. After all, going to Dragon Seeking Valley was very dangerous. However, he also didn't know how long it would take to go to Dragon Seeking Valley. Zhang Hao was not at ease leaving her, a little girl, alone in Flying Sky City. Therefore, he could only reluctantly bring her with him. He thought to himself that he would try his best to protect her when the time came.
One day later, inside the Ten Directional Mountain
On the way to Dragon Seeking Valley, it was inevitable to enter the Ten Directional Mountain. And within this Ten Directional Mountain, there were Ferocious Beasts everywhere, and even the existence of Wang Beasts.
Wang Beasts were existences of the same level as Martial Warriors of the Martial King level. Fortunately, these Wang-level Ferocious Beasts were not everywhere. The Ferocious Beasts encountered by the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group and Zhang Hao and others were all below the Wang-level Ferocious Beasts.
In a dense forest
The people of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group were eating dry food. As expected, the people of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group did not provide any protection to them along the way.
Zhang Hao had hunted a wild boar and was comfortably roasting the wild boar meat over a fire.
He roasted the wild boar meat until it was fragrant. Even the people of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Group couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. But as it was said beforehand, they would not provide food or protection to Zhang Hao and others, so they naturally felt embarrassed to come over and share the food at this moment.
Little Dragon and Little Black were also eating with relish. A wild boar weighing several hundred pounds was divided up by the few of them.
It was Song Sitian's first time eating the roasted meat grilled by Zhang Hao. After she tasted the first piece of roasted meat, she immediately became like Ye Yun, losing all sense of image. She began to gobble it down.
In less than half an hour, a small piece of roasted meat had entered Song Sitian's stomach.
"How is it? Is your Young Master's cooking skill not bad?" Zhang Hao looked at Song Sitian with a smile.
Song Sitian nodded vigorously at Zhang Hao, her small face filled with admiration as she said, "Mhmm, not bad, Young Master, you are amazing! The roasted meat is really delicious."
Zhang Hao was very proud and said to Song Sitian, "Sitian, you will know more of your Young Master's strengths in the future."
"Mhmm! Sitian knows that Young Master is the most amazing." Song Sitian firmly believed.
Ye Yun said, unable to bear to look directly, "Sitian, you are simply beyond saving. What's so good about this scoundrel who looks so frivolous?"
Song Sitian glared at Ye Yun and said, "Young Master Ye, you are not allowed to talk about my Young Master like that, otherwise Sitian will be angry."
Ye Yun was speechless.
Zhang Hao, however, looked at Ye Yun with a triumphant expression.
Not far away, Scarface and One-Eyed Dragon and others had gloomy faces.
One-Eyed Dragon said somewhat dejectedly, "It's really strange. After entering the Ten Directional Mountain, those Ferocious Beasts don't attack them, but many of our people have been injured or killed."
Scarface was also extremely gloomy. Originally, his plan was to let the Ferocious Beasts kill them after entering the Ten Directional Mountain, and then he could get the treasures on these three people without having to do anything. Of course, he would keep the delicate beauty to enjoy. This way, it would be completely undetectable. However, things did not develop as he had originally planned.
