Chapter 106: Self-Directed Hero Saves the Beauty
In the basin above, the herb gatherers of Wanyao Pavilion were busy gathering herbs.
The other mercenaries, after resting, gradually entered a state of alert.
The young leader of the Wolfhead Mercenary Group, Mu Li, was currently arranging for his subordinates to set up tents.
Every time Wanyao Pavilion goes into the mountains to gather herbs, it takes one or two days, often needing to spend the night in the mountains.
The beasts in the forest are more active at night than during the day, and spending the night in the mountains is extremely dangerous.
This is why every time Wanyao Pavilion's herb gathering team goes into the mountains, they hire a large number of mercenaries.
"Xiao Yixian, you must be tired. Have some water."
Mu Li's gaze was always on the stunningly beautiful Xiao Yixian.
Seeing the girl's forehead covered in sweat, he quickly ran over to offer his help.
"Thank you, I brought my own water."
In the face of Mu Li's kindness, Xiao Yixian smiled politely, then took out her own water and started drinking.
Being rejected by Xiao Yixian, Mu Li smiled awkwardly, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Yixian, why do you have to do such heavy work yourself? Why don't you let others do it? Look, the Warcraft Mountains are dangerous. If something happens to you, a girl, it won't be good."
Xiao Yixian continued to gather herbs after drinking water, and Mu Li stuck around like a plaster, sticking to Xiao Yixian's side.
"Only the herbs I pick myself are the most reassuring."
"And, with your Wolfhead Mercenary Group protecting us, we should be very safe."
Looking at Mu Li who was following her, Xiao Yixian was somewhat displeased in her heart, but she still forced a smile on her face and responded from time to time.
Hearing Xiao Yixian's words of praise, Mu Li's face showed a hint of pride.
"Xiao Yixian, rest assured, as long as the Wolfhead Mercenary Group is here, we will never let anything happen to you."
Roar!
Just as Mu Li's voice fell, a beast roar filled with ferocity suddenly sounded from the jungle nearby.
Mu Li's face froze instantly, and when he reacted, his face changed drastically.
"There's a beast nearby!"
"Everyone, get ready!"
With a shout from Mu Li, the basin immediately became chaotic. All the mercenaries took out their weapons and were on guard.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
At this moment, several more beast roars sounded from the jungle, seeming to be rapidly approaching this side. A terrifying aura began to sweep out from the jungle.
Feeling this aura, the mercenaries on the scene all changed their faces.
Experienced as they were, they could tell just from this aura.
The beasts in this jungle are extremely terrifying, and there are quite a few of them.
"Young leader, this seems to be a beast tide, definitely not something we can handle, we should retreat quickly."
An old mercenary came to Mu Li's side and advised him with a shocked face.
"Beast tide!"
"How could a beast tide suddenly appear?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Li's face also changed drastically. There had been several beast tides discovered in the Warcraft Mountains, but they usually occurred in a fixed season.
This beast tide came too suddenly.
Just as Mu Li was hesitating, he saw several huge shadows rushing out from the jungle towards the basin. The moment these figures rushed out of the jungle, some experienced mercenaries changed their faces and exclaimed, "Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolf!"
Roar!
Seeing the humans in front of them trying to run, the Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolves naturally wouldn't let them go. With a roar, they charged over.
The mercenaries ran very fast, and several herb gatherers from Wanyao Pavilion hadn't reacted yet, only to find that they had fallen behind.
Seeing the Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolves charging over, they were immediately scared pale, their legs went weak, and they felt desperate.
Xiao Yixian was also left behind. She took out a flute with trembling hands and was about to blow it, but found that a Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolf was already pouncing at her.
"Am I going to die like this..."
For a moment, Xiao Yixian was filled with despair, her heart was as dead as ashes, she slowly closed her eyes, ready to wait for death.
"Evil beast, stop being presumptuous!"
Just then, a voice full of righteousness suddenly sounded.
Bang!
Then, there was a muffled sound, and the howl of the Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolf suddenly sounded.
Xiao Yixian opened her eyes fearfully, only to see a figure in green standing proudly, blocking her.
And the Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolf that was just now had been knocked away and was lying on the ground howling, obviously seriously injured.
"I... I'm not dead..."
Xiao Yixian came back to her senses, staring blankly at the back of the young man in green, her heart filled with joy at having escaped death.
He saved me...
"Miss, are you alright?"
Just as Xiao Yixian was staring blankly at the young man's back, the young man slowly turned around, revealing a handsome face, with a gentle smile on his face.
The young man was Chen Feng. He looked at Xiao Yixian, who seemed to be in a daze, and slowly extended his hand to her.
"Thank you for saving me."
Xiao Yixian was stunned for a moment, then gratefully grabbed Chen Feng's hand and slowly stood up.
"A man should not stand by and watch others die."
Chen Feng showed a sunny smile on his face, which, coupled with his handsome face, looked full of righteousness.
Hearing this, Xiao Yixian looked at Chen Feng in front of her, a strange feeling arose in her heart, and her eyes became somewhat dazed.
"Ah!"
Just then, a scream brought Xiao Yixian back to her senses. She looked over and saw that one of Wanyao Pavilion's herb gatherers had already died under the claws of a Mysterious Crystal Demon Wolf.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yixian immediately showed a look of panic.
"Can you save my companions?"
Xiao Yixian grabbed Chen Feng's sleeve, her voice pleading.
"Okay!"
Before Xiao Yixian could finish her words, Chen Feng's figure had already moved.
