Encountering Rock Worms was a nightmare for every mercenary. Despite being first-order fierce beasts, Rock Worms appeared in large groups, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Captain, what should we do?" A squad member nervously asked.
"At this point, we can only fight our way through and break out," Zheng Yun said.
Gunshots and arrows echoed as two squad members, one wielding a pistol and the other a compound bow, started attacking the Rock Worms. The bullets and arrows were specially crafted to inflict significant damage on fierce beasts.
However, the number of Rock Worms was overwhelming.
Ye Chen opened his palm, conjuring a ball of flames. Control Fire Technique was a low-level yellow-ranked skill, and the fire in Ye Chen's hand was just ordinary flames.
Suddenly, Ye Chen threw the flame forward. Instantly, a dozen Rock Worms were incinerated.
Ye Chen's eyes lit up, realizing that Rock Worms were afraid of fire.
He continued throwing out several more flames. The burning Rock Worms emitted eerie, screeching sounds, making it a hair-raising experience.
"Fire, a fire-type talent?" Zheng Yun and the other squad members were astonished. They could never have imagined that Ye Chen was a super genius with a fire-type talent, a natural talent.
They recalled that three years ago, their team had encountered another student with a fire-type talent, also from White Cloud Academy. Her name seemed to be Shi Ling.
A fire-type talent was a super talent, a natural talent in elemental skills.
"Let's go!" Ye Chen turned around and said to the team. "Run! Run!"
Immediately, the Golden Wind Mercenary Group squad fled the area.
They ran along the railway line until they deemed it safe to stop.
"Ye Chen," Zheng Yun patted Ye Chen's shoulder gratefully. "Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, we would have lost more than half our lives."
Other squad members also looked at Ye Chen with immense gratitude. The disdain from earlier had vanished completely.
"It's okay, we're a team," Ye Chen said.
As the saying goes, a narrow escape leads to great fortune!
The Golden Wind Mercenary Group squad had just arrived when a Silver Moon Wolf appeared before them.
The Silver Moon Wolf was entirely silver, and it glared at them menacingly.
"A Silver Moon Wolf?" Zheng Yun and the others were delighted. Judging by the excitement on their faces, it was evident that the Silver Moon Wolf was very valuable.
"Name: Silver Moon Wolf."
"Talent: Second-rate Speed Talent."
"Rank: Third Order."
Zheng Yun was a four-star martial artist, and the other members were all three-star martial artists. Capturing a third-order Silver Moon Wolf wouldn't be too challenging for them.
Just as they were preparing to take action, Ye Chen spoke.
"Captain, this Silver Moon Wolf," Ye Chen looked at Zheng Yun, "let me handle it."
Zheng Yun and the team were surprised. They couldn't fathom why Ye Chen would say such a thing.
"Ye Chen, although you have a fire-type talent, the Silver Moon Wolf is a third-order fierce beast, and its speed is fast. I'm afraid..." Zheng Yun's words were cut off, but the subsequent meaning was clear.
"Rest assured, Captain," Ye Chen said, looking at Zheng Yun. "I'm quite strong."
With that, Ye Chen rushed out.
Yellow-ranked high-level martial skill, Concealing Shadow Steps, combined with the second-rate speed talent, allowed Ye Chen to move at an astonishing speed.
In an instant, Ye Chen reached the Silver Moon Wolf.
