Chapter 32: Human Hearts Are Evil

Although the mercenaries complained about Mu Li's abuse of power, they were actually more envious and wished they could replace him and protect Xiao Yixian.

"Roar!!!"

A furious roar suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

The mercenaries didn't care to look at Xiao Yixian, they all tightened their weapons and looked in the direction of the sound with alert faces.

"Ang——"

Just when the mercenaries were facing a great enemy, a high-pitched dragon roar sounded, followed by a black shadow flying out of the woods in front.

"Bang!"

The black shadow hit the front of the team, making a dull sound, struggling and twitching on the ground for a few times, and then completely lost its breath.

When everyone saw the appearance of the black shadow, their pupils suddenly shrank, and their faces showed some surprise and fear.

It was a monster with a lion's head and a body like a scorpion, covered with a layer of black shell.

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but screamed: "It's the Black Lion Scorpion!"

The Black Lion Scorpion is a relatively rare first-level monster. Not only does it have amazing defense, but the scorpion's tail is also highly poisonous, enough to poison beings below the Fighting Master level.

Therefore, most mercenaries will choose to retreat when they encounter the Black Lion Scorpion, otherwise they will easily be in danger of their lives.

Before the surprise on everyone's faces faded, Xiao Feng, wearing a black suit, walked out of the woods expressionlessly.

"It's him!"

Soon, a mercenary recognized Xiao Feng, and saw that he was still alive, his face was full of disbelief.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, since those mercenaries who wanted to kill Xiao Feng had been killed by the Qingshan Troll, Xiao Feng's end should not be too good.

The so-called "Qingshan Troll" is the new nickname given to the Armored Giant by the residents of Qingshan Town.

Because Xiao Feng was covered with a layer of solid bluestone armor after he transformed into the Armored Giant, like a bluestone hill, and he killed people like crazy, so he was named Qingshan Giant.

Seeing Xiao Feng walk to the black lion scorpion and directly put the more than two-meter-long monster corpse into the storage ring, everyone came back to their senses from the shock.

Looking at the black storage ring worn on Xiao Feng's finger, Mu Li, who was following Xiao Yixian, had a trace of greed in his eyes.

Looking at the entire Qingshan Town, there are no more than five people who are qualified to own a storage ring.

Although Mu Li's father also has a storage ring, the storage space is very small and can't hold a complete black lion scorpion.

At the beginning, Mu Li's father spent more than 30,000 gold coins to buy that storage ring, which is equivalent to the income of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group for about two years.

And the storage space of the storage ring worn by Xiao Feng must be much larger than that of Mu Li's father, and it is worth at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Let alone the other treasures stored in the ring, the ring itself alone can be equal to the income of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group for decades.

Even if the people of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group cannot afford to offend the Xiao family behind Xiao Feng, the worst that can happen is that they will abandon the industry in Qingshan Town and run to a place far away from Wutan City to recruit new soldiers.

After Xiao Feng put away the body of the Black Lion Scorpion, he turned his attention to the crowd.

After a quick scan of the crowd, Xiao Feng's eyes finally fell on Xiao Yixian, and his sword eyebrows slightly raised.

Although it was the first time Xiao Feng saw Xiao Yixian, he saw her slender and soft waist and instantly confirmed her identity.

Mu Li invited enthusiastically: "This little brother, it is too dangerous for you to walk alone in the Warcraft Mountains. Why don't you come with us?"

"..."

When the other mercenaries heard Mu Li's words, their faces changed slightly, and their expressions became a little subtle.

Under normal circumstances, when the mercenary group is on a mission outside, strangers will not be allowed to join, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

As the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, Mu Li could not fail to understand this truth, but he still invited Xiao Feng, and his purpose was self-evident.

"Young leader is right!"

"Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. Brother, just come with us!"

"Our young leader is the kindest..."

The mercenaries of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group instantly understood what Mu Li meant, and quickly sang in unison.

Xiao Feng was not a fool, of course he could feel that Mu Li and others had bad intentions, but his favorite thing to do was fishing.

It was not easy for a fish to bite the hook, how could Xiao Feng refuse it?

"In that case, it is better to obey than to be respectful."

Faced with the enthusiastic invitation of everyone, Xiao Feng could only "helplessly" agree and move with the large army.

"I'm Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. May I ask your name, little brother?"

In order to let Xiao Feng relax his vigilance, Mu Li took the initiative to talk to him, and also prepared to take the opportunity to find out his details and see if he has any hidden cards?

"I'm Xiao Feng, meet the young leader."

"Xiao Feng?"

Mu Li muttered Xiao Feng's name and pretended to be surprised: "Could it be that Brother Xiao is the third young master of the Xiao family who defeated the young leader of the Yunlan Sect and made a three-year agreement with her."

"Ah~ It's just a little bit of false reputation!"

Xiao Feng waved his hand modestly and said, "I was able to defeat Nalan Yanran by one move or two, entirely because she lacked practical experience. I am not her opponent in a real fight."

"Brother Xiao is too modest. You can kill a black lion scorpion alone. I am afraid that even an ordinary five-star fighter may not be your opponent."

Mu Li said halfway and asked tentatively, "And Brother Xiao dared to walk alone in the Monster Mountain Range. If he didn't have two brushes, I would definitely not believe it."

"Young Captain, you are joking. I am just a faster runner. If I really encounter a monster that I can't beat, I can only barely protect myself!"

"Being able to run faster than others is also a skill~hahaha..."

Looking at Xiao Feng and Mu Li talking and laughing, Xiao Yixian shook her head with some reluctance.

In Xiao Yixian's eyes, Xiao Feng was just like a fool who was sold out and had to help others count money.

After being fooled by Mu Li for a few words, he confessed all his past.

Even if Xiao Feng is quite powerful, if he cannot change his naive character, he will be eaten by others sooner or later in the dangerous Monster Mountain Range without leaving any bones.

To some extent, meeting other people in the Monster Mountain Range may even be more dangerous than meeting monsters.

People are so vicious!
