While Qiao Mu and the others enjoyed their soup, the rcenaries had already polished off their als and comnced packing up.
One of the younger rcenaries couldn't help but size up Qiao Mu with curiosity. He discreetly lowered his voice and asked his companion, "Hey, what's your take on them?"
/Considering their attire, they seed like a bunch of privileged youngsters. Despite heading towards North Wangda Forest, they seed to lack a proper guard. Are they really venturing into this forest alone?/
"Quit poking your nose into matters that don't concern you," retorted the other person, a seasoned rcenary. He shot a sidelong glance at the chatty youngster and rolled his eyes. "Rember what the commander drilled into us?"
"I recall." The young rcenary pursed his lips and droned, "Avoid unnecessary trouble while traveling."
According to their commander, the future held unforeseen dangers, ones they were currently oblivious to.
In the realm of martial arts, caution ranked highest. Those who appeared unremarkable could easily turn out to be lethal.
If this predicant escalated, it could spell trouble.
"Don't you find the commander excessively vigilant?"
"I disagree." The elder rcenary sneered. "Let make this clear, if you disagree with our commander's approach, it's better for you to make a swift exit."
Observing the older rcenary walk away, the younger one pursed his lips and held his peace. Nonetheless, a hint of skepticism lingered within him.
Once more, he assessed Qiao Mu and company and internally criticized, /Based on appearances, they strike as a bunch of incapable young elites. What sort of peril could they possibly encounter?/
Clang, clang, clang, clang!
"Commander, there's a fierce battle occurring at 10 o'clock." A reconnaissance rcenary swiftly approached the captivating and elegant woman, dropping to half-kneel as he inquired,
"Should we consider changing our camp?"
The captivating and elegant woman happened to be the leader of the Dayle rcenary Group. Standing beside her was her partner, Su Ha, a muscular man.
Their extensive rcenary background had honed their ability to maintain composure in such situations.
Dai'er nodded, affirming, "Let's begin packing up."
Upon hearing the boss's decision, the sa young rcenary from earlier couldn't help but grumble, "Why are we moving out right after we've taken a break?"
The veteran rcenary shot him an irritated look. "Dongzi, you have quite the gift for chatter."
"Just follow the orders!"
"The commander has her reasons."
The young rcenary, addressed as Dongzi, huffed but reluctantly started gathering his belongings.
Swish! An incendiary iron arrow abruptly found its mark on a tree.
Yet, the North Wangda Forest was thick with humidity, the ancient trees drenched in moisture. The flas struggled to spread extensively, managing only to singe a tree trunk or two.
Dai'er's brows knitted as she expressed her concern. "Prepare for combat, everyone."
In the midst of her words, several silhouettes sprinted into view, shielding an injured comrade. The whistle of iron-tipped arrows intertwined with pockets of fire, putting Dai'er's group on edge.
Qi Xuanxuan and the rest were in the midst of tidying up pots, bowls, and utensils. Upon turning around, they were t with a stray arrow hurtling in their direction.
Frowning, Little Fatty intervened with a swift punch, deflecting the projectile.
"Inviting trouble, are we?" Lu Yu's voice cut through the air, his tone icy and penetrating, reaching everyone's ears distinctly.
"A pack of imbeciles dares to interrupt our respite?" Qi Xuanxuan's irritation was palpable.
"Ah! Could it be Qiaoqiao?"
