Chapter 449 Employer’s Regret

In an instant, rays of magical light appeared on the ground. Using each magic core as a node, a complex and mysterious magic array was instantly formed, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

Gao Lie was shocked, and then he felt the power in his body draining away rapidly.

His strength was directly reduced by more than 30% in the magic circle.

Looking at the panic expressions on the faces of the guards beside him, Gao Lie knew that they were not much better.

Looking at Xu Yuan and others, their bodies exuded a glimmer of magic power. It was obvious that this magic circle had blessed them with various attributes.

"You! You plotted against me!"

Gao Lie looked shocked and said through gritted teeth.

"Plotting against you? Humph, I just calculated that you would take the shortest way out of the Huangyuan Empire in a hurry, so I laid out a magic circle on the road in advance."

"You can't afford to waste time, because the pursuers are right behind you. If there is a slight delay, my reinforcements will arrive."

Xu Yuan said coldly, then suddenly changed to a mocking tone and said: "If you were smarter and took a little detour, you wouldn't be able to walk into this magic circle."

If he could verbally attack his opponent, Xu Yuan wouldn't mind doing it.

Detour!

When Gao Lie heard this word, he suddenly remembered what a mercenary said to him in the middle of the night, urging him to take a detour.

Unfortunately, at that time, Gao Lie disdainfully mocked the mercenary.

Looking back now, I really regret it.

If he had listened to the mercenary at that time, how could he have been intercepted by Xu Yuan and others, and walked into the magic circle prepared by the other party as a surprise.

A look of regret appeared on Gao Lie's face, but he quickly covered it up.

However, the members of the Longya mercenary team and the Qiuyu mercenary team who were guarding the caravan looked strange.

A series of emotions such as shock, regret, disbelief, and annoyance were mixed into an extremely complicated expression.

"How is this possible? Could it be that that guy really felt the fluctuation of magic power."

"He is just a professional, but his perception is even stronger than that of our vice-captain."

"It's impossible. This must be a wild guess."

"You're just guessing? If you have the ability, go ahead and make a blind guess."

Long Ya and Hua Manqiu also looked shocked.

Hua Ruoyu almost wanted to ask Hu Shou directly how he sensed this fluctuation of magic power.

You know, before the magic circle is activated, it is just a bunch of magic cores placed in a special position.

The magic power fluctuation occurs and is almost negligible.

But the mercenary of that professional class can actually sense this weak magic power.

Even at the peak of the Grandmaster level, it is impossible to have such terrifying perception.

"Brother, that guy is really right." Hua Ruoyu swallowed her saliva and said something unimaginable.

"There is such a talented person in this world. If I can take him under my command and train him to become a master, our Qiu Yu mercenary team will be able to rank among the top ten mercenary teams."

Hua Manqiu looked at Hu Shou behind the caravan, feeling complacent for a moment.

Longya looked like he had seen a ghost, and murmured to himself: "Are all the people from Cloud Mist City so scary?"

"It was the same last time, and it's the same this time."

"In terms of strength, he is strangely strong, but in terms of perception, he is also so terrifyingly strong."

But no matter how their emotions changed, it could not affect the outbreak of this battle.
