2330 The Early Bird Catches the Worm

/Wait. Wait, wait! Wait!/

The members of the Kuangzhan Mercenary Group wanted to cry as they watched Qiao Mu’s group go. They couldn’t help but howl in their minds. Bro, let them go first!

Where exactly did these people come from?

Did anyone know how underhanded they were?

!!

Kuangzhan struggled to break free.

A thin rope naturally could not bind spiritual cultivators like them, but it couldn’t be helped that the rope was infused with spiritual energy.

Kuangzhan and his team wanted to cry.

After two hours, the Kuangzhan Mercenary Group finally awaited their rescuers.

When they saw who had come, Kuangzhan’s teammates truly did cry as they shouted disorderly, “Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen, Young Lady Rouyi, wuwu, rescue us!” 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

The people who had arrived were the round-faced young girl who had rescued Xiao He at the border town and her party.

The man whom they called Young Master Chen raised his hand coldly, gesturing for his subordinates to go rescue the Kuangzhan team.

“What happened?”

Because they needed to seek out a large amount of materials on this trip, they had previously contracted a mercenary group who would meet up with them at the perimeter of the Eight Barren Mountains.

They did not expect for Kuangzhan to be tied up here.

Speaking of which, Kuangzhan could be considered a notable mercenary group in South City. What had happened for them to end up in this miserable state?

Kuangzhan wiped away the bloody filth on his face and gritted his teeth. “I, I got screwed over by a group of shameless fellows.”

The round-faced young girl whom they called Young Lady Rouyi crossed her arms and glanced at Kuangzhan. “Did you accept someone else’s commission? You don’t look like an honest person.”

Kuangzhan’s face twitched.

He had indeed accepted the mission to capture the refugees in passing. In any case, they had to search for materials in the Eight Barren Mountains with Young Master Chen and them. It was possible for them to encounter those refugees, and he could incidentally turn them in.

Yet Kuangzhan’s wishful thinking did not go according to plan.

Young Master Chen looked at them coldly and asked, “Do you need to rest?”

How could they help search for materials in this state?

Young Master Chen and Young Lady Rouyi both furrowed their brows as they sized up the Kuangzhan team.

“It-It’s fine. Young Master Chen and Young Lady Rouyi’s time is valuable. Let us set out now!” Kuangzhan smiled fawningly.

You’ve got to be kidding. They had just lost a large amount of supplies. If they didn’t perform well now and offended Young Master Chen, wouldn’t they be even more out of luck if he refused to pay them a single cent?

Since Kuangzhan and them said that they were fine, Young Master Chen nodded and led the group toward the perimeter of the mountains.

The Eight Barren Mountains spanned a vast area. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

It was divided into the outer area, the middle area, and the inner area.

Truthfully speaking, no one had even been able to venture into the middle area in all these years.

The one or two teams that entered every once in a while proved that they could not make it out…

That’s why in the course of time, even less people were willing to send themselves to their deaths in the Eight Barren Mountains.

The things that Young Master Chen wanted were basically in the Eight Barren Mountains’s perimeter. It was just that the overharvesting over the years made them scarce.

However, he knew that there was a rather more secluded hilltop around here. If they searched thoroughly, they would still be able to find many ores, minerals… uh!

Just as they walked to that hilltop Young Master Chen was talking about, they saw a carriage parked there from afar.
