The Plan Begins

Lin Ze speculated that the Flame Mercenary Group and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group might be cooperating to plot for the Fire Wolf King Cub.

Furthermore, by reversing his deductions based on this possibility, he found answers to all his previous doubts.

Although it was just a speculation based on fragments of information and subtle clues.

Lin Ze still chose to trust his judgment.

He was making preparations for it.

Since the Flame Mercenary Group and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were colluding, Lin Ze had no more reservations.

After all, even if they succeeded in seizing the Fire Wolf King Cub this time, it would inevitably trigger a wolf pack attack.

And to avoid suffering losses during the wolf pack attack, they would most likely drag the entire Fire Wolf Town into it.

Making Fire Wolf Town bear the risk together.

The previous smaller-scale wolf pack attack had already overwhelmed the apothecaries in Fire Wolf Town.

The damage caused by a larger-scale wolf pack attack could be imagined.

Of course, Lin Ze wasn't doing this entirely for the sake of strangers, but more because his own interests might be harmed.

He had already invested a considerable number of Death Soldiers in Fire Wolf Town.

Transferring them all would be somewhat troublesome.

And if he didn't participate in the actions of the two mercenary groups, he wouldn't know their specific action times.

He wouldn't be able to accurately avoid risks.

He could easily fall into the dangerous situation of the first wolf pack attack.

During the hunting of magical beasts, they encountered a wolf pack attack, resulting in heavy losses.

Lin Ze found various reasons for himself, but ultimately it was because Lin Ze saw a glimmer of opportunity to turn their plan against them and retaliate against the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

He himself was operating from behind the scenes; even if this plan to turn their strategy against them failed, he could simply start over.

Now, with nearly fifty Death Soldiers under his command, even if all the White Common Death Soldiers were sacrificed, it would only take a little over ten days to recover.

Of course, in Lin Ze's plan, sacrificing all the Death Soldiers was out of the question.

The core of turning their plan against them lay with the Blue Rare Death Soldier that Lin Ze had previously projected.

The Death Soldiers possessed hunting skills and talents related to traps.

Lin Ze had the Blue Death Soldier lead numerous Death Soldiers into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to set up traps.

Lin Ze couldn't be sure which route the Flame Mercenary Group and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group would choose.

However, he was already familiar with the terrain around Fire Wolf Town.

Therefore, he selected a few of the most likely routes and had his Death Soldiers set up traps along them.

This was the most crucial step.

If they didn't choose the routes Lin Ze had selected, his plan would be impossible to execute.

Busy, two days passed.

While Lin Ze had his Death Soldiers setting traps in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he also used Wang Wu's perspective to further scout the Flame Mercenary Group's stronghold.

On this day, the Death Soldiers, with the help of the Flame Mercenary Group's mercenaries, completed their daily training.

The mercenary in charge of training the Errand Boys stood with his hands on his hips and loudly announced to everyone, "Congratulations, tomorrow the group has a mission to hunt magical beasts in the mountains!"

"Because the danger level of this mission is relatively low, you can all come along to witness it."

"With one trial after another, you will eventually become qualified mercenaries."

"The Gold Coins you earn from hunting magical beasts then will be enough for you to live a life of luxury!"

Hearing the mercenary's grand pronouncements, everyone present also showed joy.

Wang Wu, controlled by Lin Ze, also displayed anticipation and surprise on his face.

But inwardly, he sneered.

They were practically wishing for them to go to their deaths.

These Errand Boys were not mercenaries before.

Although some of them might have cultivation, the dangers of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were not to be underestimated.

Even formal mercenaries could capsize in a ditch if they weren't careful within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

And now, the Flame Mercenary Group was taking this group of Errand Boys, who had only trained for less than three days, into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

It was no different than pushing them into a fiery abyss.

However, Lin Ze also understood why the Flame Mercenary Group was so eager.

The longer the Fire Wolf King Cub stayed in the Fire Wolf Lair, the wilder it would become and the harder it would be to tame.

That's why they were so eager.

To drag this group of Errand Boys, who hadn't been trained for even three days, into the mountains, they probably wouldn't even qualify as Cannon Fodder.

At most, when facing a Wolf Pack, these Errand Boys would serve to attract attention.

It was like when ordinary people encountered a bear in the wild; you didn't need to run faster than the bear, you just needed to run faster than your companions.

If their plan was carried out smoothly, they would obtain two Fire Wolf King Cubs, and the only loss would be these pitiful Errand Boys used as a rear guard.

Even if it went according to the Flame Mercenary Group's plan, their own members wouldn't suffer significant losses.

After all, with so many Errand Boys covering the rear, they would only need to run faster than these Errand Boys, greatly reducing the danger.

It was too easy for these mercenaries to outrun this group of Errand Boys.

Having confirmed the Flame Mercenary Group's timing, Lin Ze also seized the opportunity to refine his own plan.

Lin Ze stayed up nearly all night perfecting the Traps along the planned routes.

Then came the next day.

Xiao Yi Xian knocked on Lin Ze's door and was surprised to see him with dark circles under his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you not to overwork yourself before?"

Xiao Yi Xian said with some concern.

"Haha, it's fine. I had something very important to handle, just a busy period."

Hearing Lin Ze's words, Xiao Yi Xian knew it would be difficult to persuade him.

"Alright, but you still need to take care of yourself. If you feel unwell at all, feel free to come to me."

"Of course, living with such a beautiful and kind Pharmacist like Xiao Yi Xian, how could I not trouble you diligently?"

Hearing Lin Ze's teasing words, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shot him a glare.

"Smooth talker!"

"Alright, hurry up and get ready for breakfast."

"I've noticed you really love eating meat. The first time I saw all that Magical Beast Meat, I was startled."

Lin Ze smiled slightly at this, of course not mentioning that it was the Death Soldiers' reserve rations.

He ate the steak personally pan-fried by Xiao Yi Xian, chatting with her.

Ever since Xiao Yi Xian decided to participate in the Jia Nan Academy admissions, she had also begun to cultivate diligently.

Although Lin Ze said that Dou Disciple Stage 8 was enough to pass the Jia Nan Academy's recruitment, Xiao Yi Xian still wanted to be more secure.

Moreover, with greater strength, many problems and troubles could be easily resolved.

Just like the problem she encountered this time.

If she had sufficient strength, she could solve it with her own power.

Even better, it wouldn't appear before her powerful self at all.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian also start to cultivate diligently, Lin Ze smiled slightly in his heart.

Perhaps before heading to the city where Jia Nan Academy's recruitment was held, he could take Xiao Yi Xian to the Magical Beast Mountain Range near Qingshan Town and obtain that inheritance.

Enjoying the delicious meal personally prepared by Xiao Yi Xian, Lin Ze regained some energy.

He began to focus most of his attention on Wang Wu.

Because the Flame Mercenary Group had set off!
