Chapter 344: 344
After she weighed her options carefully, Shen Yanxiao could not find a single reason to reject his offer .
“Sure, when would you like to set off?” She predicted that she would be able to get a lot of yield from that little trip to the Phoenix’s nest . However, she would still need an excuse for her leave of absence from the two divisions .
With her abilities, she could only learn a limited number of skills during her first year at the Archer Division and the Herbalist Division . A few days of absence from classes should not matter much to her . When she compared the few classes that she would have to miss with the mission, Shen Yanxiao knew that the Flame Grass was the more important task .
The earlier she could gather all three plants, then the faster Xiu could regain his strength to assist her in undoing the seal .
Du Lang smiled and said . “We will be setting off from the Black City in five days . ”
Shen Yanxiao nodded in agreement . After she made the necessary verbal agreements with Du Lang, Shen Yanxiao finally left the Mercenary Guild .
The young man, who had stood frozen to the spot, finally regained his senses when Shen Yanxiao left the room .
“Leader, why did you invite that little kid to join our mission? He’s just a little kid, what can he do?” The young man felt vexed about the situation . The members in the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group were all elites, and a thirteen-year-old little kid could hardly compare to any one of them . However, Du Lang had offered to take the kid with them on the mission, and he even promised to assign someone to guard the kid’s safety . It was simply too inconceivable for him .
The mission was to deal with a high-level magical beast from the legends itself, and thousands of mercenaries had been included in that mission . It was easy to discern the difficulty of the mission by that point alone . So why would the leader bring a deadweight with them? What was he thinking?
Du Lang shot a glance at the pessimistic young man and said, “I have my reasons . In time, you will see . Let’s head back and discuss the mission with our brothers . ”
Even though the young man had tons of questions, he did not dare to question the leader . He could only murmur under his breath and did not comment any further .
After Shen Yanxiao left the Mercenary Guild, she also left the Black City immediately . She returned to the casino to give the items to Qi Xia . She also told him about the duration between the time of death for the beasts .
Since they had two days to spare, Qi Xia told Shen Yanxiao that they did not need to put a rush on their plans . Therefore, they only did some of the preparation that night . Then they decided to infiltrate the medicine storage room the next night .
As night fell the next day, two stealthy silhouettes snuck into the courtyard of the medicine storage room .
Tang Nazhi and the others had wanted to follow them, but Shen Yanxiao had vetoed their plan .
As there were quite a few guards near the storage room, she already had a problem with bringing Qi Xia with her . If she were alone, she could easily avoid everyone’s line of sight . However, since she had Qi Xia with her, she had to be extra cautious with her movements . If she were to bring the other three animals along, they would have been discovered the moment they arrived at the storage room .
Shen Yanxiao had the Moonlight Necklace with her to conceal her aura so that the guards could not sense her presence . Qi Xia was a gifted magus, so he had his own methods to hide his aura .
Things progressed smoothly as they worked with each other . They took advantage of the ten minutes when the guards change shifts for Qi Xia to swiftly unlock the nonagon magical arrays on the doors . When she got in, Shen Yanxiao used the shortest time possible to swipe a large number of precious ingredients from the medicine storage room .
Shen Yanxiao was cautious with her actions, and she only took two or three stalks of a single type of medicinal ingredients . She did not take any ingredients that had only one in stock so that they would not get caught .
