Being Targeted! Xuanbing Poison Lizard!
At the current speed, if we fly for several hours, we'll be lucky to be able to use half our strength if we encounter danger.
Two hours later, Zhang Xuanchen safely arrived at the edge of the Dark Night Forest.
The Divine Movement Talisman lost its effect an hour and a half ago.
There is a gathering place for cultivators here.
It was small in scale, formed spontaneously, and had no organization whatsoever.
"The Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group has one Foundation Establishment Late Stage, one Foundation Establishment Middle Stage expert, and one Foundation Establishment Early Stage expert, allowing them to move freely around the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest."
Absolutely guaranteed employer safety! Only 10,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone for three days!
"Tiger Demon Battle Team, all seven members are at the Qi Refining Peak! They can accompany their employer to the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest to search for herbs, slay demons, and improve their combat experience! Only 5,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone for three days!"
Zhang Xuanchen glanced around; the strongest among these teams was only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
Furthermore, no team dared to venture into the Dark Night Forest to encircle them.
"It seems there are quite a few dangers in this Dark Night Forest."
Zhang Xuanchen pondered silently.
Then, his gaze swept over the stalls selling various spiritual items and fragments of broken Law Artifact, and he secretly transmitted his voice to Xuanjing.
"Xuanjing, take a look at these stalls and see if there's anything good on them."
Okay.
Xuanjing replied and then closed his eyes to sense.
Thirty seconds later, Xuanjing spoke:
"Brother Chen, there's a fragment of Spirit Artifact, but it's beyond repair and has no value."
There wasn't anything else of note, so we can leave now.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded and then slowly walked towards the Dark Night Forest.
Acting too hastily could lead to trouble if others think they've discovered some treasure and are secretly following you.
Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group.
"Big brother, look, that kid is dressed smartly and has an extraordinary air about him; he's clearly a member of Lineage."
There's also a ring on her finger, probably Storage Ring, so she's definitely worth a lot.
Should we give him a good bet?
A thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face looked towards Zhang Xuanchen, a greedy glint in his eyes.
The Scarred Big Man face, who was the leader, frowned. "You said it yourself, that kid is a member of Lineage. What if he's someone we can't afford to offend?"
Do you know how many teams die here every year because of their own greed?
As soon as he finished speaking, the mercenary group's second-in-command, a refined young man, spoke up:
"Third brother, don't be rash. Eldest brother is right."
Upon hearing this, the dark-skinned, thin young man couldn't help but retort, "Then what should we do?"
How long has it been since our Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group last made a sale? I've already spent all my Spirit Stone!
It's made me not play with the women at Heavenly Fragrance Tower for three months!
My second brother needs some nourishment! Otherwise, he'll explode!
Upon hearing this, the refined young man closed his folding fan and chuckled softly:
"Third brother, don't be impatient. We didn't say we wouldn't do it. Watch me."
After saying that, the refined young man chased after Zhang Xuanchen, calling out as he went, "Brother!"
Brother, please wait a moment!
Seeing the young man catching up, Xuanjing reminded him:
"Brother Chen, those guys from the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group want to kill you."
Their conversation could be heard by Zhang Xuanchen, but not by Xuanjing.
Upon hearing the reminder, Zhang Xuanchen nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
He did not conceal his cultivation level at this moment, precisely to deter those with ill intentions.
Unfortunately, they were still targeted.
He sighed softly, turned his head, and said:
Are you calling me?
"Yes, yes." The refined young man smiled and said, "With your strength, fellow Daoist, there is not much danger on the outskirts of the Dark Night Forest."
But you hesitated for a moment just now, probably because you wanted to enter the middle circle, right?
To be honest, you can choose my team; it only costs 30,000 Low-grade Spirit Stone for three days.
The forest at night can be very dangerous, so it's better if we're together for mutual support.
How?"
As he spoke, he instinctively reached out to place his hands on Zhang Xuanchen's shoulders.
Zhang Xuanchen dodged in a flash.
"No need!"
He replied coldly, then disappeared into the Dark Night Forest.
No sooner had Zhang Xuanchen left than the Scarred Big Man and the thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man approached the refined young man.
"Second brother, that kid is so ungrateful! Let's chase after him!"
Don't let him get away!
The refined young man chuckled, opened his folding fan again, and a Second Stage Scent-seeking Bee appeared in his Spirit Beast Bag.
"No rush, that kid can't escape. I've already left something on him."
You can't escape my pursuit, you Scent-seeking Bee!
"Haha, as expected of Second Brother, you strategize and control the whole situation! I admire you!" The dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man cupped his hands to show his admiration.
The Scarred Big Man nodded. "Second brother did a good job this time. You get 30% of the spoils!"
Let's go! Let's enter the Dark Night Forest!
"Yes, brother!"
As soon as the voice fell, the more than thirty members of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group marched off in a grand procession to chase after Zhang Xuanchen in the direction he had "escaped."
Seeing this, the others all shook their heads:
"Another person is going to die!"
"Who says otherwise? Sigh, the Sirius Legion is a real menace. If only someone could wipe them out."
"Dream on! Which force within a hundred miles can wipe out the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group!"
Soon, the sun set completely.
The whole world was plunged into endless night.
Zhang Xuanchen concealed his aura and ran through the Dark Night Forest.
The ancient trees around them had gnarled and twisted branches that looked like ghostly claws.
The wrinkled bark of the ancient tree gleamed with a bluish-black sheen, and the moss on the trunk spread out eerie green veins in the shadows.
Silence best represents this forest.
Not even a single insect chirping could be heard.
The only sounds were those of Zhang Xuanchen moving through the forest.
At this moment, with the help of the Xuanjing, Zhang Xuanchen found a few grains of bee pollen that had drifted onto him.
"Xuanjing, look around for any Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Demon Beast. Put these few grains of honey powder on them."
"Okay, Brother Chen, we're still in the outer area, it's unlikely we'll encounter Foundation Establishment Demon Beast here, let's continue."
Roar!
Roar!
A pack of Ink Shadow Wolf spotted Zhang Xuanchen and gave chase.
Zhang Xuanchen successfully shook them off.
Roar!
A Tier Second-tier Early Stage Withered Bone Vine Snake began to pursue Zhang Xuanchen.
Zhang Xuanchen successfully shook it off.
Most of the Demon Beast on the outskirts were First Stage or Second-tier Early Stage Demon Beast. Even though Zhang Xuanchen's speed had slowed down considerably in the forest, those Demon Beast still couldn't catch up with him.
It can only be left as an appetizer for the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group.
Five hours later, Zhang Xuanchen's spiritual energy was reduced to only 20%, forcing him to slow down and consume three drops of Thousand-year Stone Milk to quickly restore his spiritual Spiritual Qi.
Before going into seclusion, he gave Zhang Hongzhan two liters of Thousand-year Stone Milk, one of which was to be exchanged for the Golden Core Pill.
He still had more than a liter of liquid left on him.
Not much, but enough.
"Brother Chen, there's a sleeping Second Stage- stage Tier 2 Xuanbing Poison Lizard thirteen miles to our right. Approach it discreetly. I'll put those bee powder pellets on it, then we'll retreat."
The Second Stage 2 Xuanbing Poison Lizard is quite powerful and can cause considerable trouble for the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group.
Zhang Xuanchen's lips curled up. "Alright, it's up to you."
