A black leopard was traversing through the forest like a ghost.

Its body was vigorous, and its nose was trembling as it looked around vigilantly.
After this black leopard passed through the forest quickly, a green snake shuttled through the forest at a very fast speed.
After the green snake left, another big bird flew past silently in the sky …
In this forest, four types of pseudo-mythical beasts had passed by in a short period of time.
If one looked carefully, they would find that they were a distance away from each other, and were constantly wandering around as if they were searching for something.
Outside this forest, there were two carriages moving forward, one in front and one behind. The four pseudo-mythical beasts always kept a certain distance from the carriages.
Every once in a while, the big bird would soar into the sky and circle around the nearby area to check if there were any abnormalities in the surroundings.
It was because of the existence of these pseudo-mythical beasts that Dun Li and the others were not as vigilant as mercenaries should be, and seemed very relaxed.
Of course, this was all thanks to Lin Sai.
With such a beastmaster, they could save a lot of trouble and be less vigilant.
They only needed to be alert and make a move at the critical moment.
Zi Chen got into the carriage, and chatted with Steward Mack. Of course, most of the time, it was Old Man Mack who was asking questions, and Zi Chen who was listening and answering.
During this time, Zi Chen secretly released his senses. He was still very curious about the items in the carriage.
However, he could not sense anything in the carriage, as if there was something magical blocking his senses.
"Zi Chen, how long have you been in this world?" Steward Mack asked casually.
"Almost a year."
Zi Chen thought for a while and said. He did not have much concept of time, and did not calculate it carefully.
"Oh, you have achieved so much in such a short time. That's really amazing," Steward Mack praised sincerely.
Zi Chen could sense the kindness of the old man, so he did not hide these insignificant things from him. Steward Mack seemed to be praising sincerely, but in fact, there were huge waves in his heart.
To have such achievements in less than a year, how many people in this world could achieve this?
No one knew the exact number, but Steward Mack believed that none of the geniuses he knew had such an achievement.
Previously, his evaluation of Zi Chen was already very high. At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Zi Chen in a new light.
When Dun Li and the others woke up from their drowsiness, they found that Zi Chen was nowhere to be seen.
Of course, they did not believe that Zi Chen had run away. When they looked at the carriage in front of them, a strange light flashed in their eyes.

This Steward Mack was definitely one of their regular customers. During this period, the five of them had visited many places, and Tull had joined them later.
However, Steward Mack had never let Tuhr, who was walking, into the carriage. He had never even spoken to Tuhr.
However, they hadn't expected that when it came to Zi Chen, not only would Steward Mack become more talkative, he even invited Zi Chen into the carriage.
However, the rude and unreasonable owner of the carriage didn't react at all.
That owner had caused Tuhr quite a bit of trouble back then. That rude and unreasonable personality of his had given them quite a headache.
Ya Ge and the others also perked up. They were also very surprised by this scene.
After the initial shock, they became proud. It was obvious that they had invited a pretty good teammate. Perhaps there were some flaws in his battle prowess, but there were no problems with his character.
After traveling for a day, the group stopped to rest at night.
Menta went to find some dry branches to start a fire, while Dun Li took out some raw meat from the handcart and roasted it over the fire.
Yuan Hong held a bottle of wine in his hand and waved it at Zi Chen. How was this a mission? This was clearly an excursion.
Zi Chen shook his head, refusing the other party's good intentions.
"Drink some. You'll be fine."
Yuan Hong smiled, indicating that Zi Chen didn't need to be nervous. This wasn't the first time they'd gone out, and they'd never encountered any danger.
Even if there was danger, there would be people who would be alert in advance, so there wouldn't be any accidents.
Zi Chen shook his head again. He wasn't used to drinking while on a mission. It was irresponsible to his employer. Of course, the most important reason was that Zi Chen felt that there was some sort of danger here.
Of course, this was only his feeling. He didn't sense anything out of the ordinary within his range of perception.
"Don't be so nervous. There shouldn't be any danger on this road. It's good to relax appropriately," Steward Mack said to Zi Chen.
Zi Chen smiled, but didn't say anything.
The others busied themselves.
"Something's wrong!"
Lindsay's voice suddenly rang out at this moment.
As for the four people who had previously looked lazy, they instantly became alert.
Dun Li picked up the weapon next to him and turned to look at Lindsay, "What's the situation?"
"There's a group of people heading this way.
Their target should be us! "Lindsay quickly said.
"How many people are there?"
"It's unknown at the moment!"
Yuan Hong put down the things in his hands and walked towards the handcart. At this moment, Ya Ge and Menta had already taken quite a few things from the cart.
Menta was clad in heavy black armour, and he held a very heavy axe in his hand.
Beside him, a mechanism clicked as a humanoid puppet appeared. It was like a door god, holding two heavy hammers in its hands.
Yuan Hong took out a long blade from the cart. The blade flickered with a black light, and one could tell at a glance that it was made of Sacred Black Crystal. Its quality was extraordinary, and it was abnormally sharp.
Their movements were quick and nimble, and they didn't seem to be panicked.
"Twenty people!
Realm unknown! "Lindsay's voice rang out again.
"You two little fellows, back off. Leave the rest to us." Dun Li walked forward with a large sword in hand.
Immediately after, the earth shook as Menta and the humanoid puppet arrived in front of the cart.
Lindsay took the initiative to back off, at the same time telling Zi Chen, "Back to the cart. We won't participate in this battle!"
Zi Chen nodded his head. Even though he still did not sense anything, the sense of danger in his heart had become increasingly intense.
Old Man Mai had returned to his seat at some point in time. He silently watched their movements with a calm expression.
A head popped out of the cart. It was a beautiful young girl. She was standing behind Steward Mack, and not only was she not nervous, she was actually abnormally excited. "There's a good show to watch."
"Safety is of the utmost importance," Old Man Mai said softly.
The young girl stuck out her tongue and went back into the cart.
Zi Chen and Lindsay returned to guard the cart, while Dun Li and the others stood ten metres away, guarding the cart in four directions.
A blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out in the quiet forest. When it rang out, Lindsay said indifferently, "There's a rank 9 hunter in the team!"
At that moment, in the forest, a green snake was cut down at the waist. Beside the green snake, a person fell down, dead from the poison.
Black Panther hid in the distance and stared intently at the rapidly advancing group. At this moment, a shrill whistle sounded. An arrow pierced through the air and pierced through Black Panther's forehead.
Beside the cart, Lindsay said in a low voice, "There's a powerful archer, at least rank 8!"
"Pfft!"
Another arrow flew into the sky and hit a large bird. The bird flapped its wings and struggled for a while before falling to the ground.
"The archer's ability is close to rank 9!"
After losing another beast, Lindsey came to the conclusion that this was the real deal.
At this moment, Lindsay's backup was disappearing one by one, leaving only a palm-sized rat hiding in the weeds, its intelligent little eyes watching the team closely.
"Pfft!"
Just then, the rat's vision darkened, and it lost consciousness. It had been crushed by a large foot.
"There's an assassin in the dark!" This was Lindsay's last message. His surveillance methods had all disappeared at this moment.
According to Lindsay's information, there was definitely a powerful enemy attacking this time. However, Dun Li and the other three weren't nervous at all, and even seemed a bit excited.
"It's been a long time since someone made a move against the Dragon of Destruction. How nostalgic." Dun Li licked his lips, his eyes flashing.
"I hope it's a worthy opponent this time, or we won't be able to bring out the prestige of the Dragon of Destruction!" Menta sneered in his heavy armour.
The people in the dark appeared in Zi Chen's perception. There were a total of twenty of them.
Nineteen of them were in one direction, and in another, there was one approaching like the night.
His figure was almost invisible, as he blended into the night. This should be the assassin Lindsay had spoken of.
But in Zi Chen's perception, he was able to see all of his movements.
Out of the nineteen people, one of them left halfway, leaving eighteen people behind.
That person had a robust figure, holding a black longbow in his hand and carrying a row of arrows on his back. It was the archer.
The archer leapt about in the night, looking for a suitable position to attack. He didn't continue forward.
The eighteen people quickly charged forward, appearing in everyone's line of sight.
"Haha, we really found a big fish!"
The leader held a large blade, the blade still stained with the blood of the Green Snake. When he saw Dun Li and the others on guard, he laughed heartily.
"You're courting death!"
Menta roared and charged forward without the slightest hesitation.
He wore heavy armour, and his figure was like a mountain. The earth trembled with every step he took, and he was like a moving mountain as he charged towards the eighteen people.
"Kill him!"
The leader with the large blade shouted, indicating for the others to charge forward.
"Peng!" "Peng!" "Peng!" … …
These people immediately charged forward, but they were sent flying in a single exchange. The sound of bones shattering could be heard as most of them were injured, while the rest died on the spot.
"Rank 9 hunters!"
The leader with the large blade was clearly shocked when he saw this.
At this moment, the humanoid puppet charged forward, the two heavy hammers in its hands dancing. It was like a cutting machine, quickly reaping the lives of the injured hunters.
"Rank 9 puppets, damn it!"
The leader cursed, his expression extremely ugly. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the seventeen people under him had died, while the rest were injured. They were almost completely wiped out.
"More people are coming from behind!"
At this moment, Zi Chen's perception picked up traces of others.
