Chapter 382: Secret Collaboration (3)

Shen Yanxiao nodded obediently. If she had to take action to deal with three horned beasts, then she would have to persuade Du Lang and the rest of the group to leave before they could face the Phoenix.

Chaos ensued in the camp, and the sounds of wails permeated the air. The mercenaries who had recovered their senses finally began to act. However, most of them were scattered around the camp. Thus, it was hard for the leaders to regroup with all of their men.

At that moment, one could thoroughly see the strength and capabilities of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group.

Under Du Lang’s leaders.h.i.+p, dozens of mercenaries tackled those three magical beasts. Even the seven wolves had launched an attack on them.

The other mercenaries could finally sigh in relief when they saw the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group attacked the unruly beasts.

Du Lang’s orderly commands soon helped to control those three magical beasts, and the other mercenary groups finally had some time to breathe. They gradually organized themselves to join the fight.

Fortunately, the three mid-level horned rhinoceros could not fight against a thousand men. Soon, the mercenaries managed to defeat the magical beasts, and three of the mercenary groups even got their hands on the beasts’ magical cores.

Du Lang only took one magical core, and he did not care if the other groups got their hands on the rest of the magical cores.

However, after that sudden attack, one could finally see that the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s capabilities far exceeded everyone else’s.

After the fight had ended, the other leaders wore an unsightly expression on their faces.

All of them were mid-scale groups, but unlike the rest of them, the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group had acted in an organized manner. The other groups did not even get to display their skills during the attack. They had been too scattered to be useful.

The client stood at the side as he watched the scene unfolded. However, he was somewhat disappointed with their performance.

They had no choice but to admit the ma.s.sive disparity between their capabilities and those from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group.

Shen Yanxiao noticed someone’s gaze among the crowd, and he was not looking at Du Lang. Instead, that person had stared at her.

She was curious about that person, and so she stared right back at him.

It was one of the leaders of the mercenary groups, and he had kept his eyes on her since the fight started. She was dumbstruck about his behavior. She had tried her best to reduce her sense of presence, so how did she still attract someone’s attention?

Then, Shen Yanxiao noticed the mercenaries who had stood behind him, and it finally dawned on her.

They were the mercenaries whom she had nailed to the tree the night before. At that moment, they looked glum as they stood behind their leader and whispered into his ears. When they noticed Shen Yanxiao’s line of sight, they immediately trembled like quails as they lowered their heads. They did not even dare to meet Shen Yanxiao’s gaze.

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and turned away as she did not want to respond to that.

At the other end, the mercenary leader pondered thoughtfully as he stared at Shen Yanxiao. Then he frowned and asked the mercenaries behind him, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Was it really that little kid who had injured you last night?”

Those mercenaries immediately nodded in affirmation. It was already a huge humiliation that a kid had managed to injure them. So, why would they joke about it if it did not happen?
