Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were still bickering in the shadows.
However, in the center of the arena, the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had already realized that there was a third party present.
Surrounding the four people in the center, they dared not make any rash moves, fearing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo might attack from the shadows.
They were also afraid that if the Wolf Head Mercenary Group learned of the news, they would leave immediately, thus revealing the group's intentions.
After all, not everyone in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group knew this news.
Their small squad learned of this news because they were directly under Gan Mu, the second-in-command of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and because they were tasked with rounding up and killing these escaped mercenaries.
"Cough cough cough..."
The coughing sound brought Shi Yang back to his senses. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he waved to the people around him and said:
"Do it!"
Regardless of who is hiding in the shadows, since the other party does not intend to show themselves for the time being.
Shi Yang would not allow these people who knew the secrets of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to leave alive.
Upon seeing Shi Yang's gesture, the members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group around him did not hesitate at all, and about ten of them attacked the people in the middle at the same time.
The Dou Technique unleashed their poisonous smoke together.
A bloodcurdling sound rang out, and the four people, who were already at their limit, perished at the hands of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo in the shadows, watched the Wolf Head Army leave after committing the crime, and made no intention of showing themselves.
They have no conflict with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, so there's no need for them to make enemies over these few people's words.
As for the cave dwelling the other party mentioned, regardless of whether it actually exists, even if it does, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to directly find Xiao Yi Xian?
"I thought you were going to make a move."
Watching the Wolf Head Mercenary Group leave, Xiao Huohuo jumped down from the tree, surveyed the battlefield, and shrugged.
Hidden in the tree, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Huohuo with a strange expression and let out a soft, cold laugh:
Good luck to you!
As soon as he finished speaking, his Soul Division Martial Soul merged directly into the forest, disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Huohuo on the ground, looked puzzled, but he quickly understood what Xiao Yan meant.
"I didn't expect that. It seems I still lack experience..."
Seeing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group emerge from the woods once again, forming a circle around him, Xiao Huohuo shrugged helplessly and said:
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't hear anything?"
Shi Yang's gaze fell on Xiao Huohuo, and looking at Xiao Huohuo's youthful face, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finish this quickly and don't leave any problems behind!"
As for Xiao Huohuo's words, Shi Yang didn't even feel like replying.
"Haha, Captain, let me do it."
Within the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, a Two-Star Dou Zhe laughed heartily at Xiao Huohuo Xiao Huohuo, then charged towards him, swinging his arms.
Xiao Huohuo has not yet revealed his aura. In their eyes, it would be a waste of talent for Two-Star Dou Zhe to deal with such a young and inexperienced kid.
However, the outcome of the battle surprised everyone.
" Three-Star Dou Zhe!!"
Watching Xiao Huohuo easily block the attack.
Shi Yang's expression turned serious.
Xiao Huohuo's youthful appearance, combined with his high level of cultivation, led Shi Yang to guess that he was a prodigy from some powerful force.
"This is a tough one, get to work!"
Wilderness combat is a life-or-death struggle where each player relies on their own abilities. Shi Yang wouldn't be foolish enough to rely on his Five-Star Dou Zhe strength to fight one-on-one with his opponent.
Losing is shameful, but winning isn't anything to brag about.
The most urgent task is to eliminate the other party directly.
This is also an important reason why Shi Yang was able to become the second regimental commander's confidant at such a young age; he understands the situation, knows when to advance and retreat, and knows how to make choices.
At the same time, he also possessed a little bit of talent, reaching the level of Dou Zhe.
"Tsk, they won't give us a chance to communicate."
Seeing the Wolf Head Mercenary Group members surrounding him, Xiao Huohuo's expression turned serious.
He wasn't stupid to fight against multiple opponents when his own strength and cultivation level were inferior.
"Laugh!"
Having dodged a stray arrow, Xiao Huohuo was startled to see the arrow still trembling as it embedded itself in the ground. With a flick of his right hand, the broad Heavy Xuan Ruler transformed into the perfect shield.
A series of clanging and clattering sounds rang out.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was shielded from the arrow, Xiao Yan quickly assessed the situation in front of him.
The three men kept shooting arrows from a distance, each with a guard beside them.
The remaining men blocked off all escape routes, giving him no chance to get away.
"This team has a pretty good level of teamwork!"
At the top of the tree, Xiao Yan looked down at the situation with some surprise.
They far surpassed Xiao Huohuo in both numbers and skill level, yet they remained remarkably vigilant, forcing back enemy attacks and surrounding them with mercenaries.
This kind of coordination already has a hint of "strict adherence to orders".
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow as he looked at Xiao Huohuo, who was trapped in the encirclement:
"Looks like an elite team has arrived! But that's what makes it worthwhile training."
The reason why Yao Lao arranged for them to hunt Magical Beast is precisely to find a suitable opponent for Xiao Huohuo.
However, how can low-level Magical Beast, lacking intelligence, compare to the rapid improvement gained from life-or-death battles with mercenaries?
Looking at the mercenaries in front of him, Xiao Yan had already decided that Xiao Huohuo would handle the Wolf Head Mercenary Group himself.
As for Xiao Huohuo's safety, Xiao Yan was not worried.
Although it would be difficult for him to wipe out the entire group of mercenaries.
But if Xiao Huohuo just wants to get away unscathed, he shouldn't have any problems.
Xiao Huohuo, who was being suppressed in the arena, also clearly saw the situation before him.
His current Flame Mantra is only at the Yellow Tier Intermediate Grade, and his Dou Qi is not particularly profound.
Therefore, he cannot afford to get bogged down in a difficult battle, or he will simply be worn down and killed here.
" Suction Palm!"
He gripped the Heavy Xuan Ruler and used it to deflect arrows from two directions behind him.
Xiao Huohuo raised his hand and used Dou Technique on another person.
Seeing the opponent stumble, the previously impenetrable encirclement suddenly found an opening.
"Laugh!"
Xiao Huohuo strode out, but before he could escape...
The Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand swept backward.
Countless sand, stones, and withered branches swept backward under Xiao Huohuo's waving.
This blocked the view of Shi Yang and the others behind them.
At this moment, Xiao Huohuo only had to face the archer who had just regained his footing, and two other mercenaries.
The archer wasn't particularly strong, only at the Eighth Stage of Dou Qi. The remaining two were a One-Star Dou Zhe and a Ninth Stage of Dou Qi.
They were no match for Xiao Huohuo at all.
Seeing the three people blocking his way, Xiao Huohuo couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Victory is within reach!
However, just as Xiao Huohuo was secretly pleased, the three mercenaries blocking his way did not show any signs of panic.
Little Huohuo instinctively sensed something was wrong.
" Lion Mountain Split!"
Yellow Tier High Level Dou Technique is more than enough to deal with the three people in front of me.
As Xiao Huohuo approached, the two men's expressions changed, and they scattered to the left and right.
Before the archers dispersed, they unleashed a cloud of poison mist at Xiao Huohuo.
Seeing the other party's movements, Xiao Huohuo belatedly swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler in his hand, stirring up a gust of wind that dispersed much of the poisonous mist.
However, a small amount of the toxic mist still entered his nasal cavity, and the pungent smell made him dizzy for a moment.
Xiao Huohuo broke free of the encirclement and ran forward without looking back, his anger growing stronger.
Surrounded and attacked, ambushed with hidden arrows, and poisonous smoke.
Xiao Huohuo instantly snapped to reality. In a life-or-death battle, who would bother with a fair fight?
However, his immediate priority was to shake off the pursuers behind him.
After suffering several setbacks in a short period of time, Xiao Huohuo, who had just begun her trial, understood the wickedness of human nature.
