Dragon Duke Meng Shu also saw this person. As she approached, he silently observed her, seemingly trying to determine her origins.
But as the person approached, Meng Shu seemed to suddenly realize something, gasped, and turned pale, as if he had been extremely frightened.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang asked curiously when she saw Meng Shu's appearance. Although the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group was powerful, it shouldn't have made him this afraid!
It should be noted that her combined attack with Meng Shu is powerful enough to contend with even Titled Douluo. If they are truly provoked, the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group will definitely not fare well.
But Meng Shu's current behavior clearly shows that they are extremely afraid. Why is that?
"Let's go, let's go." Meng Shu pulled Chao Tianxiang and immediately headed back the way they came.
"What? Old man, are we just going to leave like this? What about Yiran's Soul Bone?" Chao Tianxiang asked unwillingly.
"We'll figure out a way to recover the remaining Soul Bone later," Meng Shu said, glancing at the mysterious woman again. "But today is definitely not a good day."
Everyone was surprised to see that the Peerless Dragon Snake had left so easily. Xiao Ye said with disappointment, "Hey! Why did they just leave like that? What happened to the fight we were supposed to have?"
Seeing that the Peerless Dragon Snake had left, the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group felt smug, believing that their reputation was too great to have such an effect.
The other Soul Master present had originally hoped to take advantage of the conflict between the Peerless Dragon Snake and the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group to sneak in, but now that they saw the opportunity was gone, they could only leave in disappointment. After all, they couldn't afford to offend a huge organization that had a Soul Douluo.
Only the mysterious woman seemed unaffected, continuing to walk into the forest until she was stopped by the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group.
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, but the Star Dou Great Forest is closed today." The leader, looking at the mysterious woman, involuntarily swallowed and said, "You'd better leave."
"Of course, if you don't mind, you can leave your contact information and address. I'm the captain of the second squad of the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group. I'm twenty-four years old and already a level forty-three Soul Ancestor Master. My future plans are..."
The squad leader was clearly captivated by the woman's charm and began to recount his connections in great detail, as if he were preparing for a blind date.
But the woman was clearly not in the mood for that, and said directly, "Excuse me, today is the anniversary of my friend's death, and I must go into this forest. Please make way."
"Beautiful lady, this puts me in a difficult position. How about this, you come with me to see our commander. I'll put in a good word for you, and he'll definitely agree to your request..." The squad leader seemed unwilling to give up and continued to fawn over him.
The mysterious woman was clearly annoyed by him. She frowned and said helplessly, "Oh well, some peace and quiet is always better."
As she spoke, she extended a jade-like, fair hand from her robe and waved it casually in the air. The squad leader, who had just been full of energy and talking non-stop, immediately lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, the other members of the Wolf Heart Mercenary Corps immediately surrounded the woman, calling out their squad leader's name as they encircled her.
But then the woman waved her hand twice more, and everyone fell to the ground, unconscious.
After that, the woman gently stepped over everyone and walked into the forest, as if she had only done something insignificant, leaving the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group members lying scattered and broken.
The two who had witnessed everything looked at each other in bewilderment. Qi Ling asked, "Can you do that?"
"Maybe in twenty years!" Xiao Ye said, swallowing hard.
"Come on, in twenty years, even a dog will have cultivated into a spirit." Qi Ling said, jumping down from the tree.
The two approached the fallen members of the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group and found that they not only had no external injuries, but also showed no signs of pain or surprise on their faces, indicating that they had lost consciousness instantly and offered no resistance whatsoever.
Such power, capable of taking down enemies with a mere wave of the hand, is simply unimaginable. No wonder the Peerless Dragon Snake only met her once before hastily fleeing.
"We're doomed! If that woman is here, we definitely have no chance of winning!" Xiao Ye pouted. "Are we going to give her the Soul Bone?"
"Not necessarily. She said she only came to mourn a friend, not necessarily for the Soul Bone. So our biggest enemy is still the Wolf Walk Mercenary Group," Qi Ling said. "Let's take it one step at a time and go into the forest first."
The two searched the forest for a while, but found nothing. Money Rat are cautious and timid creatures, and they love to search for gold. They are already rare, let alone Twin-Tailed Money Rat.
"Sigh, there's no way we'll find it," Xiao Ye said, plopping down on a nearby tree stump. "This forest is so big, finding a single mouse is harder than climbing to heaven."
"I don't think so," Qi Ling said. " The Money Rat love to eat a fruit called the Golden Cup Spirit Fruit. If we grind it into powder, we can attract the Money Rat."
"Hey? Why didn't you say so sooner? You made me search for so long!" Xiao Ye said immediately, dissatisfied.
"I just remembered too," Qi Ling said with a smile. Actually, he just wanted to see Xiao Ye get her comeuppance; bullying this girl seemed particularly interesting.
So the two of them split up to search for the Golden Cup Spirit Fruit. It took them about an hour to find enough, then they ground it into powder. Qi Ling added some other ingredients to it and placed it in an open space.
"Do you think this thing can really attract Twin-Tailed Money Rat?" Xiao Ye asked.
"Probably," Qi Ling said, not entirely confident. After all, no one knew the difference between Twin-Tailed Money Rat and a regular Money Rat, or whether the bait would actually work.
Before long, the bait took effect, attracting many Money Rat from various places to this place, scurrying around the bait prepared by Qi Ling.
Ordinary Golden Cup Spirit Fruit wouldn't have such an effect, but Qi Ling used the recipe for the Beast-Attracting Powder to amplify the Golden Cup Spirit Fruit's effects dozens of times, which is why so many Money Rat were attracted.
"I don't know if it will work." Qi Ling carefully looked at the Money Rat, afraid of missing a particular one with a special tail.
"Don't worry, Qi Ling, I told you, we're destined for each other, we'll definitely succeed!" Xiao Ye said, leaning against Qi Ling's broad back, and said blissfully, "Mmm~ so comfortable, I'm going to lie down for a bit, wake me up when it appears!"
