Chapter 879

In the vast forest, Mad Dragon led his dozen-man mercenary squad forward quietly.

Behind the team were medicine-picking healers; the Dense Forest Mountain Range was full of dangers, and they also needed the protection of the mercenary squad.

Everyone was very vigilant, not daring to make a sound, holding their weapons tightly, ready to deal with magical beasts that might ambush them.

Mad Dragon's mercenary legion had been active in this area for years, but even so, they didn't dare to relax their vigilance.

Every time they entered the Dense Forest Mountain Range, it took at least half a month, and that was just activity on the periphery; if they needed to go deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it would take at least a month.

Everyone carried a lot of luggage, mostly rations and some healing medicine.

The scorching weather, combined with the pressure of magical beasts potentially ambushing them at any time, left everyone physically and mentally exhausted.

Su Chen was also sweating profusely from this hellish weather, wiping the sweat from his face handful by handful.

Suddenly, a sound came from ahead, and Mad Dragon hurriedly signaled everyone to hide.

Su Chen was also ready to act at any time, when a platypus ran out.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; although the platypus was large, it was a herbivorous magical beast.

Not far ahead, there was a cave, which was the base where Mad Dragon and his group rested.

It would take another hour to arrive, and Mad Dragon signaled everyone to speed up; they had to arrive before dark, otherwise, it would be dangerous at night without a shelter.

Su Chen used his spiritual sense to detect dozens of miles around and found no magical beasts, so he followed Mad Dragon with peace of mind.

The periphery of the Dense Forest Mountain Range was relatively calm, and they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.

Finally, at dark, they arrived at the cave; the entrance was very hidden, blocked by a huge rock.

Under normal circumstances, one really wouldn't find it!

Everyone put down their luggage, and Mad Dragon came to the side of the boulder, gathered his Qi-Refining power in his palm, and slowly pushed the boulder away, and everyone entered the cave to rest.

The cave was very large and even had a water source inside; it was a good place to rest.

Even at night, they couldn't relax their vigilance, so Mad Dragon had his subordinates take turns patrolling.

Su Chen couldn't sleep at night, so he wandered around the cave.

At this moment, a mercenary started a fire to prepare some food, and just as he put the pot on, Mad Dragon came over and kicked it over.

"This is the damn Dense Forest Mountain Range; starting a fire at night will attract magical beasts. Do you want us all to die?"

Mad Dragon looked at the young mercenary with anger, and at this moment, Mad Dragon's younger brother, Mad Tiger, walked over.

"Big brother, don't be angry; this is a newly recruited member who doesn't know the rules. Spare him this time."

Hearing Mad Tiger say this, Mad Dragon walked away.

Mad Tiger also hurriedly helped the young mercenary up and lectured him on the principles.

In the middle of the night, Su Chen also came out to help patrol; Mad Dragon was afraid that a wealthy young master like Su Chen would get hurt, so he even sent Mad Tiger to protect Su Chen.

Su Chen was also constantly using his spiritual sense to detect, so he wasn't afraid of magical beast attacks.

Mad Tiger thought Su Chen was asleep and prepared to go over to wake him up.

Unexpectedly, Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, which gave Mad Tiger a start.

"I heard it; there is the sound of someone running fast, it's two people."

Mad Tiger certainly didn't believe it; a wealthy young master like this could hear the sound of people running from dozens of miles away?

But soon, Su Chen slapped Mad Tiger in the face; the patrolling mercenaries said they saw two people running fast and were currently running toward the camp.

"Everyone, pass on my order: be on full alert and prepare for battle!"

At the order, everyone woke each other up, preparing to deal with the emergency.

A moment later, the mercenaries hiding in front came back, pressing two girls.
