Infiltrating the Flame Mercenary Group?

For the next two days, Lin Ze was trying to find a way to infiltrate the Flame Mercenary Group.

He wanted to further investigate the specific situation.

However, Lin Ze wasn't fixated on just this one approach; he was pursuing multiple avenues simultaneously.

After daily projections for these past few days, Lin Ze's number of Death Soldiers was now approaching fifty.

Aside from a three-person team in Qingshan Town, all remaining Death Soldiers were in Fire Wolf Town.

Thanks to his second rare epic hunting skill, Lin Ze's Flesh Essence was also steadily increasing.

More importantly, Lin Ze had become much more familiar with the area around Fire Wolf Town.

With the eyes of over forty Death Soldiers, Lin Ze could understand the situation around Fire Wolf Town without leaving his residence.

Especially the Magical Beast Mountain Range near Fire Wolf Town, Lin Ze was confident that even the veteran mercenaries who had been in Fire Wolf Town for many years might not be as familiar with it as he was.

Where magical beasts were abundant, where it was suitable for setting traps – at least in this small territory, Lin Ze was as familiar with it as his own small courtyard.

And during this process, Lin Ze also found the Fire Wolf Pack's lair.

It was a hilly area with dense forests, and in the middle of the hills was a deep cave, which was the lair of the Fire Wolf Pack.

However, Lin Ze only controlled his Death Soldiers to observe from afar and did not venture deeper.

After all, it was not only home to a Tier 2 Magical Beast, the Fire Wolf King, but also a large number of First Order Magical Beasts.

A magical beast group of this scale, if one were to fall into it, even multiple Dou Masters would meet their end there.

Just as Lin Ze was routinely controlling his Death Soldiers to gather intelligence, he suddenly noticed that the Flame Mercenary Group seemed to be making a move.

In the small square of Fire Wolf Town, a tall man in leather armor, wearing the emblem of the Flame Mercenary Group, shouted loudly.

"The Flame Mercenary Group is recruiting Errand Boys. We require diligence and capability. If your Talent is decent, the mercenary group will also provide support and take you into the mountains to hone your skills."

This immediately attracted the attention of the crowd in the small square.

Although mercenaries were a profession where they licked blood from the edge of a knife, this high risk also meant high rewards.

As long as they successfully hunted magical beasts, most of the magical beast materials were useful.

If they were lucky, and a Magic Core had condensed within the magical beast, even the most ordinary First Order Magic Core could be worth four to five hundred Gold Coins.

To know that just twenty Gold Coins could provide a commoner family with enough food and warmth for a year.

In this Mystical World, resources related to cultivation were mostly valuable.

It was precisely because of this high risk and high reward that the small towns on the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range had remained prosperous, with people coming and going incessantly.

And now there was an opportunity to become a mercenary and rely on a large mercenary group, which naturally deserved pursuit.

Lin Ze watched the tall, burly man surrounded by the crowd from afar, and couldn't help but sigh at the great appeal of mercenary groups.

To use an inappropriate analogy from Lin Ze's previous life, being a mercenary was a high-paying but high-risk profession.

And for mercenaries who relied on a mercenary group, the risk would decrease, turning it into a high-paying but medium-to-low risk profession. Under such circumstances, it was not surprising that they were sought after.

Lin Ze's thoughts flashed, but his feet didn't stop at all, and he followed the crowd towards the tall, burly man.

Although he felt that the Flame Mercenary Group's recruitment of errand boys this time was very unusual.

As mentioned before, the Flame Mercenary Group followed a path of elite specialization, so even when recruiting errand boys, they wouldn't make such a big fuss.

They would more likely go to their affiliated shops and have the shop managers recommend errand boys.

At least, Lin Ze had never heard of such a thing when he was investigating information in this regard.

Just as Lin Ze was thinking this, several people beside him clicked their tongues in amazement.

"It's rare to see the Flame Mercenary Group looking for errand boys in this place."

"Yeah, don't they usually just find them directly in their shops?"

"Did the shops go out of business? Or do they need too many people this time?"

"Who cares, who wouldn't want to seize such an opportunity!"

Lin Ze mingled with them, nodding repeatedly.

"Right, right!"

While participating in their discussion, Lin Ze's doubts grew.

When things are unusual, there must be a reason.

However, Lin Ze didn't care whether there was a trap or not; he would step into it even if there was.

After all, it was only the death soldiers who would step into it, not himself.

Lin Ze certainly had the resolve to send his death soldiers to their deaths, but they had to die meaningfully, not like last time when they died meaninglessly in the wolf pack's charge.

As long as the death soldiers could gather useful intelligence within the Flame Mercenary Group, Lin Ze would be willing to pay the price.

Soon, it was the turn of the death soldiers controlled by Lin Ze. The tall man glanced at Lin Ze.

Seeing that Lin Ze was strong and had an honest face.

He looked very reliable, and couldn't help but nod.

The leader wants exactly this kind of person. As for strength, it doesn't really matter.

Even an ordinary person would do. After all, the people they were recruiting this time weren't going to be errand boys.

"Introduce yourself briefly."

"Yes, sir. This humble one is Wang Wu. I have no parents, no children, and no attachments. If you take me on as an errand boy, you can order me around as much as you like!"

The tall, burly man's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Ze's words.

This guy's conditions perfectly matched the leader's requirements!

The tall, burly man's demeanor immediately became much warmer. He reached out and patted Wang Wu's shoulder.

"Wang... Wang Wu, is it? Starting today, you'll be working for our Flame Mercenary Group. You'll even have the chance to go into the mountains with us for training, and in the future, you might become a real mercenary."

"When that time comes, you'll eat well and drink well. And those white-skinned women in the taverns, you can use gold coins to make them submit and lie beneath you."

Listening to the tall, burly man paint such a grand picture, Lin Ze's face also showed a look of longing.

Lin Ze's face showed extreme yearning, mixed with a bit of worry and fear.

"Sir, I... can I really do it?"

"Haha, trust me!"

And so, Lin Ze, under the guise of an errand boy, infiltrated the Flame Mercenary Group's base.

As soon as he arrived at the base, he was assigned tasks. Lin Ze chose semi-control, allowing the death soldiers to act freely.

The members of the Flame Mercenary Group saw that Lin Ze was diligent and worked without complaint, and they nodded in satisfaction.

As mentioned before, the semi-control state is similar to controlling a game character's perspective, allowing one to observe the surroundings without needing to rely on the death soldiers' eyes.

Just as a death soldier was diligently wiping a table, Lin Ze, through the peculiar perspective of semi-control, saw a figure walking not far behind the death soldier. This made Lin Ze's eyes narrow slightly.

Mu Li!

He hadn't expected the Young Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group—Mu Li—to already be within the Flame Mercenary Group's base!?

As expected, observing from the outer perimeter of the base, the death soldiers would never have obtained such intelligence.

To have obtained such important intelligence immediately after infiltrating was worth the death of the death soldiers!
