Shen Yanxiao's mood changed when the Vermillion Bird mentioned sage-level beasts. Coupled with her motive for the trip, Xiu knew why she worried.
"However, if it is really a sage-level Phoenix, I'm afraid that those mercenaries won't be able to keep its attention. The Phoenix would kill them off in seconds." Shen Yanxiao got even more worried. Even if she could not rely on the Vermillion Bird to fight the sage-level Phoenix, no one would be able to stop her if she had wanted to leave.
The problem was the people from the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group. Was she supposed to watch them die?
Xiu looked at the worried Shen Yanxiao and said, "If that's what you want, I will protect them for you."
Xiu would want to protect the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group?
Shen Yanxiao was quite surprised. If it were really a sage-level Phoenix, even the Vermillion Bird would not be able to deal with it, and yet Xiu said that he would protect Du Lang and the rest of the group?
