The Tricky Tools at the bottom of the trap instantly pierced the Death Soldier's body.

Looking at the Death Soldier who died with his eyes wide open.

Huo Lie felt no satisfaction in his heart. Instead, a deep chill climbed up his spine.

It even caused cold sweat to cover his back.

What kind of existence was secretly targeting the Flame Mercenary Group, to make someone so reckless?

Even if their strength was weak, they would drag him down into the trap with them.

Even the most foolish person would know that the consequence of doing so was to pay with their own life.

Yet, the guy before him, who died with his eyes wide open, had jumped down without hesitation.

All for the purpose of luring him into the trap and delaying him, reducing his chances of escape.

Paying with a life, just to delay him.

The disregard for life by the person in the dark, even Huo Lie, a ruthless individual, couldn't help but feel fear.

Fear surfaced in Huo Lie's heart, but he also felt a few more doubts.

What virtue or merit did the Flame Mercenary Group possess to be targeted by such an existence?

As soon as these doubts arose, Huo Lie immediately shifted his attention to the Fire Wolf King Cub.

In the very beginning, there was the existence named A-Liu.

And the timing of A-Liu's appearance was precisely at the point when the Flame Mercenary Group's plan to capture the Fire Wolf King Cub failed!

The target of the person in the dark was the Fire Wolf King Cub?!

In a short moment, Huo Lie understood the cause and effect.

He couldn't help but attach more importance to the Fire Wolf King Cub in his arms.

To be so valued by the person in the dark, this Fire Wolf King Cub must have a secret that he didn't know.

Huo Lie hid this guess in his heart and quickly used his weapon, wanting to escape the trap.

After all, the wolf howls coming from outside the trap were getting closer and closer!

However, just as Huo Lie was about to leave the trap, another figure swooped down from the air.

Huo Lie sneered in his heart.

Did he think the same trick could work on him again?

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw that person throw the broadsword in his hand, aiming it straight at the Fire Wolf King Cub in his arms.

Huo Lie hurriedly reached out to block, his Dou Qi erupting to deflect the blade away.

However, that brief delay was all it took for the Death Soldier to grab onto Huo Lie tightly and drag him directly into the Trap.

"You lunatic!"

Such an action forced even Huo Lie to curse out loud.

He wanted to ask what the Person in the dark had promised them to make them act with such reckless disregard for their own lives.

But after the outburst, Huo Lie followed suit, using the Death Soldier as a human cushion to avoid being injured by the weapons at the bottom of the Trap.

This time, Huo Lie did not hesitate for a second. As soon as he found a foothold, he immediately began climbing toward the top of the Trap.

But it was already too late!

After the two delays, the Fire Wolves had already surrounded the entrance of the Trap.

As soon as Huo Lie emerged, he saw a massive Fire Wolf staring fixedly at him.

A sense of hair-raising dread instantly swept through his entire body.

Huo Lie hurriedly gripped the Fire Wolf King Cub tightly, hoping to keep the Fire Wolf King from acting rashly.

The low growls of the surrounding Fire Wolves rose and fell, causing cold sweat to pour down Huo Lie's back.

In this situation, one wrong move would cost him his life.

Clutching the Fire Wolf King Cub, Huo Lie slowly began to retreat.

Seeing Huo Lie gradually backing away, the cruelty and rage in the Fire Wolf King's eyes grew even more intense.

A flicker of reluctance flashed deep within its gaze.

"Roar—"

Following a low, guttural wolf howl, Huo Lie immediately felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the surrounding Fire Wolves lunged at Huo Lie without a second thought.

Even though Huo Lie was holding their Fire Wolf King's cub, it had no effect, for this was the command of the Fire Wolf King itself.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Fire Wolf King, if its child were to be taken away and tamed by a human, and eventually forced to command the Fire Wolves to serve that human, it would be better for the cub to remain by its side forever.

"You really are a beast! You don't even care about your own child!"

Huo Lie cursed, his defenses crumbling.

As if wanting to have a final say before death.

However, his curses didn't make a single fire wolf pause.

Led by the Fire Wolf King, the fire wolves came relentlessly, fearless of death.

Huo Lie knew survival was hopeless. Dou Qi erupted from his hands, a cruel smile on his lips.

"You want me dead? Then your child will be my cushion first!"

Huo Lie roared, then threw the Fire Wolf King Cub away.

He was making one last struggle and effort, hoping to distract the Fire Wolf King.

But it was useless. The surrounding fire wolves had already completely surrounded him.

Even a Dou Master would face a near-certain death against a pack of First Order Magical Beasts.

Let alone a Tier 2 Magical Beast.

Seeing that the situation was finally concluding, Lin Ze opened his eyes.

He pressed his temples, soothing the stinging pain in his mind.

Although Lin Ze had controlled things from the far end of Fire Wolf Town this time, it wasn't easy.

He needed to constantly control the Death Soldiers, and through their perspectives, ensure the plan proceeded as he had envisioned.

While Lin Ze had no limit to the number of Death Soldiers he could control, it was restricted by his own strength.

With Lin Ze's current strength, it was difficult to control multiple Death Soldiers simultaneously.

But this plan required multi-line operations.

This was why Lin Ze felt his mind and even his Soul Perception were somewhat overdrawn.

The wolf pack was still chasing the Flame Mercenary Group. Once the chase ended, it was likely that less than one in ten members of the Flame Mercenary Group who participated in this operation would survive.

After all, both of the Fire Wolf King's cubs were gone, so someone had to bear the Fire Wolf King's wrath.

"I wonder if the Fire Wolf King will mobilize the pack to attack Fire Wolf Town?"

"However, this operation was not without losses for the Fire Wolf Pack either."

"Many mercenaries, on the brink of death, unleashed a final strike. Even if they couldn't kill a fire wolf, they should have been able to injure them."

"Furthermore, the Fire Wolf King's madness has also disturbed other magical beasts. The Magical Beast Mountain Range near Fire Wolf Town is now a chaotic mess of monsters."

"The Fire Wolf King most likely won't have the energy to lead the wolf pack to attack Fire Wolf Town."

"Phew... The harvest was huge, but the losses were also heavy."

Lin Ze relaxed his mind for a while before beginning to sort out the gains and losses of this operation.

This time, apart from the team from Qingshan Town and the death soldiers guarding him, Lin Ze had deployed all his other death soldiers.

The huge harvest, naturally, was the double kill of the two mercenary group commanders!

The heavy losses were the casualties of the death soldiers.

The pursuit by the wolf pack, other magical beasts that were disturbed, and even other mercenaries in the Magical Beast Mountain Range could all cause damage to the death soldiers.

Lin Ze had lost over a dozen death soldiers due to this operation!

And this was even because most of Lin Ze's death soldiers were observing from a distance; otherwise, more would have died.

He now only had thirty-two death soldiers left under his command.

It could only be said that it was fortunate amidst misfortune: the Blue Rare Death Soldier who mastered the Hunting Skill did not sacrifice himself during this operation.

"Although the losses were heavy, it felt great! It truly felt great!"

"Killing Mu She means that even if the Wolf Head Mercenary Group doesn't collapse, it will at least go through a period of turmoil."

"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group previously extorted the Iron Blood Mercenary Group; now, it's considered revenge!"
