Taking Down Wolf Head

"Bang, bang, bang..." The sounds of heavy bodies hitting the ground echoed in everyone's ears. The mercenaries present were drenched in sweat, not daring to even breathe loudly. Their mouths hung slightly open, terrified that a bolt of lightning might flash before their eyes.

"Very good. It's much quieter now. I hereby announce that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is under my, Lin Feng's, command. Qing Lin is the second-in-command. I've said my piece. Who agrees? Who objects?" After speaking, Lin Feng leaned forward slightly, carrying a faint but oppressive aura. His expression was cold and merciless, though inwardly he was ecstatic. This is the feeling. Hehehe, someone hurry up and object so I can use my ultimate move...

Unfortunately, Lin Feng was destined to be disappointed. Even Mu She, the strongest person present and a Dou Master, had been killed by him without the slightest ability to resist. Who would dare make a move now? Everyone was sweating profusely, and combined with the scorching weather, an outsider might not have found it strange at all.

"Since that's settled, from now on, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is mine. I don't have many demands. Just three. First, remove that wolf-head emblem from your chests. It's utterly shameful. Second, you are not to bully men or women. Third, my orders are to be carried out without question. Those who oppose them will be killed without mercy. Do you understand?" Lin Feng asked coldly. For mercenaries who lived with their lives on the line, only absolute strength and ruthlessness could truly make them submit.

As for giving them benefits? What a joke. What benefits could they demand without making any contributions? Their benefit was that their lives were still in their own hands.

"Yes, sir! From now on, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will firmly carry out your orders. If you point east, we will never go west." A simple-looking fat man immediately answered with a tremble. By the end, he had even quietly slipped in a bit of flattery.

"Oh? And who are you?" Lin Feng asked with a hint of interest. As he spoke, he walked toward Mu She and several mercenaries he had randomly killed because they displeased him. A classic scene unfolded once more—killing and looting in one smooth sequence.

The sight made the mercenaries shudder again. They secretly thought, How many people must this fiend have killed to be so practiced at this? They could not dare act obedient in public while defying him in secret from now on. They did not want to die like this.

"My lord, I'm He Meng, the third-in-command of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group..." Seeing that Lin Feng's tone was no longer quite so icy, He Meng's simple-minded nature began acting up again.

"Oh! The third-in-command, huh? Then are you going to avenge your leader?" Lin Feng asked faintly, as though he truly hoped He Meng would admit it.

"Ah, no, no, I wouldn't dare! The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is already a thing of the past. From now on, there is no third-in-command. I will absolutely obey your arrangements, sir." He Meng jumped in fright, the fat on his body jiggling as he no longer dared act foolish.

"Mm. In that case, take me to Mu She's treasury. Oh, right, there's one more thing. Who is Mu Li?" As though recalling something, Lin Feng glanced around.

The moment his words fell, a young man burst out from the crowd and hurried toward the outskirts of Green Mountain Town.

"He Meng, I'll leave this fellow to you. By the end of today, bring me his head—or your own." Lin Feng did not want to personally deal with such a minor character. Besides, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was still useful for cleaning up this kind of small fry.

"Yes, sir! He Meng will definitely bring Mu Li's head before you." He Meng spoke viciously, then selected a group of men and chased after Mu Li.

"There's one more thing. Someone go buy back what I had my eye on at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion." As he spoke, a force from Adamantine Finger shot from his right index finger, killing with one strike the man who had disgusted him earlier by resembling Crow Brother. "You don't have Crow Brother's fate, so why are you trying to imitate Crow Brother?"

"Let's go. Let's see what treasures the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has. I want to see what foundation the strongest force in Green Mountain Town possesses."

Pushing open a large door, Lin Feng saw a mercenary in front of him, his wrinkled face wearing a fawning smile as he bowed and scraped, terrified of accidentally angering Lin Feng. "Sir, this is where our Wolf Head Mercenary Group usually stores its treasures. Of course, some treasures must be inside Mu She's Storage Ring."

"Mm, leave." Lin Feng waved his hand, sending away the unpleasant mercenary as he prepared to explore with Qing Lin.

Once the mercenary had left, Qing Lin immediately became lively. "Whew, putting on that act was so tiring. Hehe, I'm happiest when I'm with Brother Lin Feng!" As she spoke, she adorably stuck out her tongue.

"Come on, let's take a look together. Though this is only the treasury of a Dou Master force, their years of accumulation may still bring some pleasant surprises." Lin Feng stroked Qing Lin's little head before heading into the treasury first. Qing Lin closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a moment. When she noticed Lin Feng had already gone ahead, she hurriedly chased after him with small steps.

They walked through the treasury, which resembled a secret passage. Strange flames rose on both sides, illuminating the pitch-black darkness. After turning a corner, they found several rows of shelves before them.

Medicinal herbs, gold coins, unknown stones, strange wooden boxes...

"Brother Lin Feng, I didn't expect the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to have some decent collections. Hehe, they all belong to Brother now." Qing Lin looked around, a slight smile on her little face.

"That was unexpected indeed, especially since there's actually a stalk of Ice Spirit Grass here. It's the primary ingredient for refining the Fourth-grade pill, the Ice Spirit Pill." Lin Feng was equally delighted.

Ice Spirit Pill: Fourth-grade peak pill

Its main effect was to calm the mind of Dou Ling experts during cultivation and increase their cultivation efficiency by thirty percent. If used during a breakthrough, it could stabilize the mind and increase the chance of success by ten percent. Even if the breakthrough failed, one's cultivation would not regress, and their realm would remain stable.

Therefore, although its refining difficulty was only at the low Fourth-grade level, alchemists classified it as a Fourth-grade peak pill. If it were not effective only on Dou Ling experts, it would not be unreasonable to rate it as a Fifth-grade pill. This was also the only Fourth-grade pill recipe in Lin Feng's possession. One reason he had left Stone Desert City was that he had been unable to find this herb there.

Now, once he had finished handling matters in Green Mountain Town, he could enter Secluded Cultivation and attempt to break through to the Fourth-grade realm.

A Fourth-grade Alchemist could thrive even in the Jia Ma Imperial Capital, where powerful experts were everywhere. Having obtained this medicinal herb, Lin Feng smiled even if there were no other gains.

There were fifteen First-order Magic Cores, most of them Wood Attribute and Wind Attribute. There were many herbs for refining First-grade pills, but only one herb for refining Second-grade pills. Sure enough, that stalk of Ice Spirit Grass had merely been an unexpected windfall. There were also some gold coins...

After storing everything he needed in his Storage Ring, Lin Feng gave Qing Lin Mu She's Storage Ring. She would keep everything else from then on, and the Little Housekeeper was overjoyed, grinning foolishly for a long while. Especially when Lin Feng called her his little housekeeper, her face turned so red that she nearly fainted, making Lin Feng hurriedly support her.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Feng called me his little housekeeper. Hehe, I'm Brother Lin Feng's little housekeeper..."

Lin Feng could only hold his forehead and sigh. "Sigh, she's hopeless!"
