Beat the grass to startle the snake

In the end, Lin Ze paid the heavy price of three death warriors.

With the proxy function, the death warriors could indeed gain Lin Ze's strength.

However, at the same time, only one person could enter the proxy state.

When they were discovered by the pack of First Order Magical Beasts, the other two death warriors who had not entered the proxy state were immediately killed by the magical beasts.

Magical beasts, due to their robust physique, were inherently stronger than human cultivators of the same level.

Even a Dou Practitioner would have to be cautious when facing a First Order Magical Beast.

Let alone these Ordinary Death Soldiers who had no cultivation base.

Lin Ze controlled A-Eighteen, unleashing his strongest power, and barely managed to heavily injure one First Order Magical Beast.

But he soon met his end among the Wolf Pack.

"Hoo!"

In the room, Lin Ze exhaled heavily.

The sensation of the Fire Wolf Fang piercing his skin had not yet faded.

Lin Ze had, in a way, used the death warrior's body to experience near-death.

"This feeling is truly unpleasant!"

Lin Ze could have switched from full control to partial control, thereby avoiding this pain and the feeling of near-death.

But after a moment's hesitation, Lin Ze decided to continue using full control.

To fully experience all the senses of a death warrior before their demise.

In Lin Ze's view, he himself did not have to easily venture into dangerous situations.

But when he absolutely had to face danger, even near-death, he absolutely could not falter.

And through full control, he could repeatedly experience that feeling of near-death.

This was both adaptation and tempering.

For others, to temper their will in such life-or-death crises, they truly had to gamble with their lives.

But Lin Ze did not need to.

Although the effect might be slightly less, it was still effective.

Taking a few deep breaths, Lin Ze calmed his mind.

"Losing three Death Soldiers at once, ever since awakening the Bronze Mirror, I've never suffered such a heavy loss!"

Lin Ze's heart turned ruthless.

Revenge, revenge must be exacted!

Although Lin Ze didn't know the ins and outs of this matter.

There was one thing he could be absolutely certain of.

That was that the people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were definitely to blame!

Since the target was confirmed, it was easy to handle.

Just as Lin Ze was pondering, a series of alarms suddenly rang out in the town.

This kind of alarm was very common in towns and cities near the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

It represented an incoming magical beast attack!

The captain stationed in Fire Wolf Town by the Jia Ma Empire immediately organized personnel to resist the magical beasts.

However, there weren't many stationed personnel from the Jia Ma Empire in towns like this, so they released commissions to mercenaries.

As long as they participated in this defense mission, they would receive rewards.

For a time, the entire Fire Wolf Town became lively.

Lin Ze jumped onto the rooftop and looked towards the outside of Fire Wolf Town. In the forest, he could vaguely see flashes of fiery red fur.

He did not respond to this defense mission.

In his opinion, if it weren't for a High-Tier Magical Beast attack, these magical beasts alone wouldn't be able to take down Fire Wolf Town.

His target was to find the people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

The people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group approaching Fire Wolf Town clearly wanted to divert the disaster.

The people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were likely to approach, or even enter Fire Wolf Town, seeking refuge.

Lin Ze intended to use the Death Soldiers to find them, so he could proceed with his next plan.

He informed the Death Soldiers of the characteristics of those individuals, and had the Death Soldiers disperse to search.

As ordinary people without cultivation, even if they wandered around the town, they wouldn't be forcibly pulled into the defense mission.

Soon, at a remote defensive line, they found those few people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Lin Ze used all his Death Soldiers to keep an eye on them.

As ordinary people, it's very difficult to track these Cultivators, but Lin Ze maximized the advantage of numbers.

Only after the Wolf Pack left behind dozens of corpses did they depart, albeit unwillingly.

"Damn it, are these Wolf Cubs crazy?"

"Exactly! Why would they attack the town out of the blue?"

"I was almost bitten by a Wolf Cub. Luckily, I'm lucky to be alive."

The surviving mercenaries discussed the sudden wolf attack in a flurry of chatter.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group members, however, quietly departed and eventually took temporary rest in a civilian house in Fire Wolf Town.

Through the perspective of the Death Soldiers, Lin Ze saw the group visibly relax after entering the house.

"After doing so many bad deeds, how can I let you hide away so peacefully?"

Lin Ze left four or five Death Soldiers to keep watch around the area. The remaining Death Soldiers immediately went to places with good information flow, like taverns, and pretended to be drunk and venting.

Through this, they began to spread the word that the wolf attack was caused by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's Man-made Disaster Diverted.

Even if Lin Ze couldn't deal with them right now, someone else would be willing to.

Although this wolf attack on Fire Wolf Town was repelled, saving the town, the mercenaries responsible for defense were not unharmed.

If it were truly an accident, the many mercenaries would have to silently accept the loss.

But if this wolf attack was caused by a man-made disaster, then these injured mercenaries would definitely seek an explanation.

Having the Death Soldiers spread this information through drunken outbursts served two purposes: one was to target the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and the other was to beat the grass to startle the snake.

Only by implicating the Wolf Head Mercenary Group could Lin Ze see the whole picture of this matter.

Lin Ze designated one Death Soldier as the source of information, while the others acted as disseminators.

If it were just one person complaining after drinking, people would just laugh it off.

But if a dozen people spread the same story, making it sound plausible and serious, it would inevitably make people start to wonder.

Could it be that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was really responsible for this incident?

Three People Make a Tiger!

Gossip Corrodes Gold!

General Consensus is enough to turn falsehood into truth.

What's more, this matter was true from the start!

And when this rumor spreads widely, even if it doesn't attract the Empire Garrison Squad from Fire Wolf Town, it will definitely attract the attention of the mercenary groups in Fire Wolf Town.

Because the mercenary groups of their respective towns have always minded their own business.

If the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was really behind this, it would be like running onto Fire Wolf Town's territory and slapping the faces of Fire Wolf Town's mercenary groups!

As expected, just as the Death Soldier who spread the message finished his tenth cup of wine, someone important finally came to find him.

A burly Middle-aged Man, dressed as a mercenary, with a distinct Scar on his face.

The Middle-aged Man brought several people to the Death Soldier.

"Brother, is the information about the Wolf Head Mercenary Group coming from you?"

Lin Ze had already arranged Death Soldiers around the area. Sensing the situation, he immediately took over control of the Death Soldier.

Under complete control, a wave of drunkenness surged.

Lin Ze didn't suppress the drunkenness, but spoke with a slurred tongue.

"Of course. I've been around Qingshan Town before, and only later came to Fire Wolf Town. I saw them wearing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's insignia."

"I personally saw those guys being chased by a Wolf Pack, heading straight for Fire Wolf Town!"
