In the silent forest, the large group of people walked quietly, pairs of vigilant eyes constantly scanning the dark places in the surrounding trees, their hands tightly holding the weapons at their waists, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Su Hun nodded slightly. It seemed that the Zhou family had good appeal this time. Although it was a temporary mercenary team, Su Hun could see that most of the mercenaries had two brushes.
Moreover, many of them seem to be very familiar with this place, so their walking routes avoid some areas where spiritual beasts may gather.
Therefore, they did not encounter any large-scale attacks by spiritual beasts throughout the morning.
There were a lot of people in the team, so the movement speed was very slow. This made Su Hun helpless, but he had no choice. Now that he was out of the team, he could only touch his head blindly.
Su Hun and others were assigned to open the way in front. He looked back at the Zhou family's herb collection team behind them, who were heavily guarded. His eyes swept through the team at will, and finally stopped at the team that was surrounded by stars as if they were holding the moon.
On a woman in a white dress.
At this time, this delicate beauty also straightened up slightly, gently wiping the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand. She was panting slightly, and combined with her soft cheeks, she looked quite endearing.
Seeing her like this, some of the mercenaries around her suddenly had the urge to carry her to their destination.
"This woman." Su Hun's eyes paused, feeling that something was wrong.
He already knew that the woman in the white dress was not from the Zhou family, but had appeared in the Zhou family at some unknown time. It was her suggestion to go to Wuxie Mountain to collect medicine this time.
When everyone's eyes focused on the woman, a rather handsome young man walked out of the escort on the side with a smile on his face, lowered his head and said something to the panting woman in the white dress.
The two chatted for a while, and the woman in the white dress smiled and shook her head, and then continued to walk forward.
Rejected by the woman in the white dress, the young man showed no trace of anger on his face. He smiled faintly and waved his palm. He shouted: "People from the Tigers, please pay attention. We are about to enter Wuxie Mountain. Don't stay in the gutter."
The boat capsized!"
"Yes, young commander!"
Hearing the young man's shout, dozens of big men around him immediately responded in unison, and the neat tone attracted everyone's attention.
However, Su Hun noticed that the woman in the white dress didn't even look at her. Her expression didn't seem like she was not interested in the strength of the cultivator, but rather she was ignoring him from the bottom of her heart.
He frowned, but he didn't think deeply about it.
Very satisfied with this reaction, the young man smiled slightly, took two quick steps again, and walked side by side with the woman in the white dress, protecting her closely.
"Damn it, isn't it just because his father is the leader of the Tiger Mercenary Group? Does he think he can win the heart of a beautiful woman just by doing this?" Seeing the young man who was able to get up close and chat with the woman in the white dress, he asked.
A mercenary man next to Su Hun suddenly cursed in a low voice, with a strong acidity in his tone.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Su Hun's gaze swept across the young man's body, and finally rested on a badge on his chest. In the badge, a tiger was carved.
Looking past the young man and looking at the two dozen mercenaries wearing the same badges on their chests, Su Hun blinked. It seemed that these people were an organized mercenary group.
Looking at how well these Tiger mercenary members protect the herb collection team, it is obvious that they are also guards hired by the Zhou family. Moreover, it seems that the trust of the Tiger mercenary group is much stronger than that of the previous stragglers. Otherwise, it would not be possible.
They will be used as personal bodyguards.
Slowly looking away, Su Hun was not very interested in the relationship between the young man and the woman in the white dress, so he shook his head and walked towards Wuxie Mountain with heavy steps again.
After another hour or so of walking, they finally climbed over the mountains and entered Wuxie Mountain.
Entering here, Su Hun could feel that everyone was getting nervous.
Rumor has it that Wuxie Mountain is the most dangerous mountain in the Wuxie Mountains. There are not only all kinds of ferocious birds and beasts in it, but also poisonous insects and poisons, making it difficult for people to guard against.
"Is this Wuxie Mountain?" Su Hun secretly compared it and found that it was indeed the same as the one marked on the map.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he considered whether to leave this team, because they had already set up camp and it seemed that they did not intend to go deeper.
But just when he was uncertain, a dozen mercenaries suddenly came out and walked towards the woman in the white dress.
Su Hun didn't pay attention at first, but the next second, his expression changed slightly. These were several people with murderous intent.
"What are you doing? Can you get close to this place?" The young man who was close to the woman in the white dress stood up to block each other and shouted.
Among the dozen or so people, the leader said expressionlessly: "Hand over that woman, and you can live."
The young man was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard wrongly, and immediately laughed and said: "With your little strength, you dare to rob someone in public? Where are the tiger brothers?"
"Here we are!" All the twenty-odd men from the Tiger Mercenary Group stood up to respond. The momentum was quite astonishing.
"You guys are really tired of bullying people in front of me." The young man said proudly, obviously thinking that they were little gangsters who were fascinated by sex and wanted to rob them by force.
And if he can show off in front of the woman he likes, he will naturally seize this opportunity and perform a heroic rescue.
"This guy... couldn't have directed and acted himself!" the mercenary man who was sour beside Su Hun before said in a low voice.
Many people also have this idea, because these dozen or so people are too weak and can barely meet the recruitment standards. They are all at the bottom of their team.
The possibility of these people daring to rob someone in public is too low.
Su Hun, however, stared. He felt that something was wrong with these dozen people. They... didn't seem to be mercenaries.
At a certain moment, his pupils shrank hard, he looked around carefully, and then slowly hid in the bushes. He smelled the terrible smell of death.
Just when he was hiding in the bushes, the leader of the dozen or so people calmly raised his hand, and a beam of light instantly pierced the throat of the still proud young man.
"Since it cannot be resolved peacefully, no one here can leave alive."
When the man finished speaking, the remaining dozen people instantly rushed into the more than eighty mercenaries who were still in a daze.
Massacre, one-sided massacre, without the slightest ability to resist.
In less than a minute, there were more than 80 corpses on the ground, and among the dozen or so people, there were no casualties.
There was no time to resist, no time to shout for help, and the team was wiped out.
"What a terrifying strength." Su Hun's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle. These dozen people were all spirit generals.
Moreover, Su Hun could see that there was no tacit understanding among these dozen people, which meant that they were not an organization but were formed temporarily.
