Although this was only the outskirts of the Monster Beast Mountain Range, where low-rank Magical Beasts were generally found.
There was still a chance that some Second-rank Magical Beasts might appear.
Xiao Yang had no desire to face a Second-rank Magical Beast.
Before long, he spotted the other person's figure.
It was actually a mercenary.
However, he did not let down his guard.
In a place like this, mercenaries were just as dangerous as Magical Beasts.
Only after seeing the man finish fetching water and leave did Xiao Yang breathe a sigh of relief.
After confirming that the mercenary had left, Xiao Yang emerged and prepared to return to the cave.
He discovered that the route the mercenary had taken seemed rather similar to his own.
There were still traces the man had left on the ground.
After walking for a while, Xiao Yang suddenly heard some sounds.
He discovered that a group of mercenaries was resting there.
There were quite a few of them, around sixty or seventy.
Among the mercenaries, one figure stood out especially.
It was actually Xiao Yi Xian!

There were also several mercenaries standing guard nearby.
Because of his powerful Soul Power, he had spotted them from a great distance away.
Seeing those people, he had no intention of approaching them.
