The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: 369

Even though the large team did not have that many experts with them, they would still win with their sheer number . Their journey had been quite smooth, except for one or two lower-level demonic beasts in the forest . The demons might have had a chance if there were only a hundred of them . However, a thousand-men team was a large one, by any design . That was why the mid-level demonic beasts did not act rashly when they discovered the group .

 The large group of mercenaries had encircled and killed any weak and ignorant lower-level magical beasts that managed to cross their paths .

The group that killed the beast also got to keep the magical core .

 All the leaders had been calm before they entered Mount Kuluo . They realized that things were not as terrifying as they thought it would be, and so they could finally relax their minds . If they were not mindful of delaying their journey, they would have gone further into the forest to kill more magical beasts for their cores .

Those mercenaries lowered their vigilance because of the smooth and unimpeded journey . When night gradually fell, they decided to stop at the waist of the mountain to reorganize themselves .

 Shen Yanxiao sat at the edge of the bonfire, and as she watched the raging flames, her mind drifted toward the dense forest .

 She thought that it was weird that their journey had been so smooth . Even though the mid-level beasts would realize that they were a tough group to swallow, the lower-level ones would not have had the same conclusion . However, except for two low-level magical beasts, they had not seen even a silhouette of another beast .

Even though Shen Yanxiao had never been to Mount Kuluo, she could already guess its risks as the previous mercenary group to go there had been entirely wiped out .

She was uneasy with the smoothness of the journey, and she felt as if the absence of those magical and demonic beasts was not a good thing .

Invisible dangers had always been more terrifying, but unfathomable dangers hidden in the dark were the lethal ones .

 The other leaders were too relaxed . Some groups took advantage of the rest time to gather a small team . When no one paid them any mind, they left the camp and set off toward the dense forest .

 When Shen Yanxiao saw them, she immediately knew that they wanted to get cores from the lower-level magical beasts .

 Those mercenaries were tricked by a false sense of security when they did not encounter any danger or demons along their journey . They felt that Mount Kuluo was not as bad as some people had made it out to be . There must have been another reason the previous mercenary group killed, and the rumor must have been exaggerated over the years .

 The two lower-level magical beasts had not even been a difficult challenge . Greed surfaced in the men’s hearts when the leaders relaxed their stance .

 Their objective for that mission was the Phoenix, and they had yet even to see its silhouette . Furthermore, most of the teams were resting, so they thought that they could earn some quick bucks since Mount Kuluo was not as terrifying as it was rumored .

 Those who were greedy had the same thought process .

 They thought that Mount Kuluo was not scary at all . They had been traveling for so long, and they had not even seen a single intermediate-level magical beast, let alone more powerful ones . If the forest had many low-level magical beasts, then it was an excellent opportunity for them to make some quick money . Even if they were no match for their opponent, they could just run away, right?
