At this very moment, Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
A smile immediately spread across his face.
He had not expected to find the location of the cave treasure without the slightest effort.
Because of this, he was extremely excited and thrilled.
Looking at Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Ze before him, Mu Li of the mercenary group immediately revealed a grin.
He looked at the two of them and spoke.
"Little Fairy Doctor, I will give you two paths now."
"Either obediently hand over the treasures in your hands, and I guarantee that I will let you leave safely."
"And I will not harm you."
"Or, you can just die here."
"In a moment, we will swarm you and simply snatch them from your hands."
Mu Li revealed a sinister smile, then spoke up.
"Decide for yourself how you want to choose."
"This is something we found with great difficulty; why should we hand it over to you?"
Little Fairy Doctor retorted on the spot.
"Since that is the case, it seems there is no need for us to waste our breath."
"Attack immediately, and kill the Little Fairy Doctor before us, along with that brat beside her."
"Snatch the treasures back from their hands."
"With these treasures, the influence of our Wolf Head Mercenary Group will surely soar."
"We will become the largest mercenary group in Green Mountain Town."
As soon as Mu Li finished speaking, the mercenaries behind him swarmed forward.
They immediately launched their attack, their Dou Qi energy surging rapidly.
They unleashed an assault on Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Ze.
"Watch out!" Little Fairy Doctor cried out instinctively.
Just at this moment, Xiao Ze drew his weapon, the Jinghong Sword.
This was a reward he had just obtained from the System Panel not long ago.
Now was the perfect time to test the power of this weapon.
He had already reached the strength of a nine-star Dou Ling.
Therefore, dealing with these few mercenaries before him would not take the slightest bit of effort.
He did not need to use any of his Dou Techniques at all; relying solely on ordinary attacks.
He could quickly finish them off.
This was the gap between strength and strength.
Xiao Ze struck out swiftly, using his Jinghong Sword.
He killed several three-star Dou Zhe with ease.
"What? This brat actually has such formidable strength!"
Mu Li's expression froze on the spot.
He was truly somewhat surprised; he had not expected that this companion of Little Fairy Doctor.
He actually possessed such great strength, being able to kill several of his mercenaries instantly without using any Dou Techniques.
Because of this, Mu Li felt a bit tempted; this guy was quite strong.
Thus, he spoke up.
"Brat, I don't care what your name is, seeing as your strength is decent."
"How about this? If you are willing, I can let you join our Wolf Head Mercenary Group."
"The prerequisite is that you obediently hand over the things in your hands."
"Not only will I let you leave unscathed today, but I will also invite you to join our Wolf Head Mercenary Group."
"And I will let you hold an important position."
"My Wolf Head Mercenary Group is, after all, no small force in Green Mountain Town."
"Do not underestimate us."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ze merely said indifferently.
"Just a pile of trash, and you want me to join?"
"Go take a piss and look at yourself; stop indulging in such delusions."
Hearing such an insulting remark, Mu Li of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group felt instantly humiliated.
He immediately struck out, launching an attack at Xiao Ze.
As a result, Xiao Ze casually slashed his sword, and Mu Li was killed on the spot.
Without any suspense, the battle ended in a mere few seconds.
The many mercenaries before them were stunned right then and there.
They had not expected their Young Leader, Mu Li, to be so easily disposed of by Xiao Ze.
To what terrifying level had the opponent's strength actually reached?
Nine-star Grand Dou Shi? Or perhaps a Dou Ling expert?
Those mercenaries were so frightened that their faces turned deathly pale.
Not daring to show any hesitation, they addressed him as "My Lord" with every breath.
"We offended you just now..."
With that, they fled the scene in a hurry.
If they had hesitated for even a second, should Xiao Ze change his mind and seek revenge, their lives would be forfeit in an instant.
After they had quickly fled the scene, Little Fairy Doctor looked at him with a surprised expression.
"I didn't expect your speed to be so fast, Xiao Ze."
"Your power is also so formidable; you truly live up to the strength of a Dou Ling."
"At the beginning, I really underestimated you."
"It is impossible that you cannot refine fifth-grade medicinal pills."
Little Fairy Doctor said with immense admiration.
Xiao Ze smiled slightly and waved his hand, his expression calm and indifferent.
"What is the big deal about that? It was merely a Mu Li."
After resolving the matter, Xiao Ze's expression remained very detached.
He left the cave in Magic Beast Mountain with Little Fairy Doctor and returned to Green Mountain Town.
For the next period of time, they spent their days there.
When she had nothing to do, Little Fairy Doctor would refine the poison arts she had obtained, while Xiao Ze worked on improving his own strength.
Several days later, Xiao Ze found a quiet place to cultivate.
Looking at the prompt on the System Panel, the corners of his mouth curled upward.
Because a line of text appeared on it.
[You have broken through to the strength of a Dou Wang, surpassing the bottleneck of the Dou Ling stage.] [You have reached a new level, and your strength has surged.] [Current mission: Make your father, Xiao Zhan, feel shocked by your strength.] [You will receive a blue treasure chest as a reward. Do you accept the mission? Please choose.]
Regarding the mission content displayed on the System Panel, Xiao Ze was slightly taken aback, but he made his choice immediately.
This mission was of little difficulty and posed no challenge at all.
He then looked at Little Fairy Doctor before him.
Little Fairy Doctor happened to ask at that moment, "Xiao Ze, what are your plans for what comes next?"
"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group already knows that we were the ones who killed Mu Li."
"They are already suspicious of us, and I estimate it won't be long before they take action against us."
"At the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow, so what do you plan to do?"
"Although your strength is very high and dealing with these mercenaries would naturally take little effort, it would inevitably be troublesome, so we should probably leave this place."
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I can accompany you."
"I don't have anything pressing to do anyway, so I might as well travel to various parts of the Gama Empire to gain some experience."
"That certainly wouldn't do any harm."
Little Fairy Doctor said earnestly.
At the same time, Xiao Ze nodded.
He spoke of his plans for the near future.
Little Fairy Doctor's expression shifted slightly in surprise.
"Going to Wutan City in the Gama Empire? No problem."
"Since you're out to gain experience and want to return home, I'll go with you."
"It just so happens that I want to visit the Mittel Auction House."
"I'll see if I can purchase any cultivation techniques or medicinal herbs; perhaps I'll stumble upon something that catches my interest."
Having said that, Little Fairy Doctor nodded.
They decided to rest for the night and set off for Wutan City the following morning.
