"Boom!"

A blue wolf the size of a calf fell to the ground.

A fifteen to sixteen year old boy took out a long sword from Green Wolf's neck, and cut a large wound on his head. He then took out a bloody crystal from inside.

He had reaped more than ten Barren beast's lives, and was extremely familiar with the location of the Barren beast. When he took down the wolf's spiritual nucleus, he immediately wiped it on its fur and threw it into the bag.

In this palm-sized bag, there were four spiritual nucleus. Adding this Blue Wolf spiritual nucleus, there were five.

He had already estimated that five spiritual nucleus were not enough for him to become a Spiritual Master. He was prepared to continue hunting for Rank 1 Barren beast, but unfortunately, Su Qin had penetrated more than two hundred Li deep into the mountains, and this place was no longer within the scope of a Rank 1 Barren beast. In the last day, he had even seen Rank 2 Barren beast roaming about.

I want to go to the Mercenary Guild to complain about Xin Xin's employment group. I only wanted to experience the sights of the East forest barren hill, but you refused me. Back then, you guys didn't look like this when you accepted missions.

Su Qin was considering whether he should return to the outskirts of the Desolate Mountain Range. After all, his strength was not enough for him to continue inside, and the outskirts of the Desolate Mountain Range was suitable for him to hunt Level 1 Barren beast to increase his strength.

"Third Young Master, you're not being shameless, I originally said that we would return after playing for three or five days outside of the Desolate Mountain, but you didn't say that we will be going within a hundred miles of the Desolate Mountain, and now we have already entered into the domain of a Level 2 Barren beast. Three years ago, a single Spirit king stage Barren beast roamed around the vicinity, so our Xin Xin Mercenary Group can't risk our lives just because of earning some money." The person who spoke was not very old.

The person called the third young master crossed his arms in front of his chest and said fearlessly, "I don't care. The person called the third young master crossed his arms in front of his chest and said without fear," I don't care.

"I remember that this young master has hired five thousand three hundred and eighteen silver taels for the Xin Xin Mercenary Group. The penalty for ten times the contract price is fifty-three thousand and one hundred and eighty silver taels. As long as the Xin Xin Mercenary Group is willing to pay the penalty, this young master will follow you back to Qingyang Town without a second word."

"You ? "Rascal!"

"Brother ?" If we kill him, when we go back, we will say that we were bitten to death by Barren beast.

"How dare you!" The third young master stuttered. "If you dare kill me, my father will definitely not let the Xin Xin Mercenary Group off. At that time, not only will you die, even your family will die with you."

Faced with the threat of the third young master, the Xin Xin Mercenary Group was enraged and wanted to kill him on the spot, but no one dared to do so. The third young master was right; if he died, then their families and friends would be implicated.

"Xin Xin, stop messing around. Have you thought about whether or not we killed Third Young Master and blamed the Barren beast? We didn't even get injured and went back in time. Who would believe that the Third Young Master died at the hands of the Barren beast?"

This time, the speaker was a middle-aged man. After he finished speaking, no one else made a sound. He was most likely the leader of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group.

The man spoke again: "Third young master, I have nothing to hide from third master, don't worry. Since we have accepted this mission, we will definitely protect third master well, even if we do meet with a real unstoppable Barren beast, we will send third master out, and I also want to declare, there will always be Level 2 Barren beast here, and sometimes Level 3 Barren beast will also pass by, so as to hire me, I have the authority to warn third young master that this is a dangerous place, and as for third young master, it is your problem whether or not you want to listen."

As expected of the leader of a group, his speech was much better than his sister and the other members.

After struggling for a while, the third young master gritted his teeth and said, "It's not impossible for me to leave. Captain Liao, do you remember that I told you that as long as your sister agreed to be my seventh concubine, we would be on our own side. My father will provide the resources for your Xin Xin Mercenary Group to be incorporated into my family's guards."

"Dream on!"

"Since Third Young Master refuses to listen to my advice, then our Xin Xin Mercenary Group will risk our lives to keep you company. At worst, we will all die in the mountains together, but if Third Young Master is dead, then your concubines will be taken advantage of."

The third young master looked displeased as he said, "How dare you threaten me?"

Liao Zhonghua, the leader of the Xin Xin Mercenary Group, opened his mouth but in the end, he could not utter a single word. If it was a threat, then so be it. For the sake of my little sister's happiness, I don't mind risking my life, not to mention the mercenary group, the only thing I can do is let down these old brothers of mine.

"Today, this young master will say his piece. Otherwise, you can continue to bring this young master forward. Otherwise, marry your sister to me as my concubine, and you can choose between the two!" The Third Young Master then ignored Liao Zhonghua and just watched with his arms crossed.

Stealing from someone was obviously to force them to submit to him. Wasn't this too insolent!? Su Qin really wanted to see the young master who spoke so arrogantly, a trash who had no strength, actually dared to say such a thing.

"Third brother!"

This fellow was actually his playmate when he was young. Like him, this fellow was deemed to be a good-for-nothing, always doing nothing but peek at the maids taking a bath at the age of three, getting his personal maid to sleep at the age of five, hiding his first visit to the brothel from his father at the age of seven, and had taken in his first concubine at the age of eleven. Rumor has it that he already had six concubines by now.

"How dare you! How can you call me by my nickname? Who are you to make me beat you to death?" The third son's name was Jing Yi, and his reputation in the Kaiyuan City was not better than Su Qin's.

"Bastard, I don't even know big brother anymore. It seems like your skin is itchy." Su Qin made a gesture of extending his hand to hit Jing Yi.

"Brother, Third Young Master is our employer, please show some respect." Liao Zhonghua stepped forward to stop the Third Young Master.

He was just being kind to help them vent their anger. It was one thing for a good guy to not appreciate their kindness, but he was actually preparing to make a move. Could it be that he was drawing his sword at the slightest disagreement?

"Su Qin, you are Boss Su."

The last time he saw her was when he accepted her as his first concubine. He stayed at the Su Family for half a month before asking Su Qin to come and support him, and in the next few years, no matter how he went to the Su Family, he wouldn't be able to see Su Qin.

It was not that he looked down on the evil young Jing Yi, but Su Qin was no longer the same person. He did not dare to show his face in front of his friends anymore, and was afraid that if he were to accidentally move and speak, his identity would be revealed.

So it turns out that Jing Yi still recognized him. "I guess you have some conscience, you didn't forget about me."

"Speaking of which, you've already married into six concubines, and yet you're not satisfied with attacking that girl. They're your employees, so if they really kill you, this wilderness will just turn into a waste of its life."

Su Qin did not plead for Xin Xin's group. He was not familiar with Xin Xin's group, so there was no need to offend Jing Yi for them. More importantly, Su Qin could not guarantee that Jing Yi would not give him face in four years.

Jing Yi joked and laughed but he did not step forward. It had been five years since they had last met, and the two of them did not develop any estrangement in their relationship.

"Boss, we've only grown up, you don't know San Zi, but I don't reject pretty girls. Even if it's sixteen concubines, twenty-six concubines can still marry a woman they want to marry. "Remember when I was young, I swore to marry a hundred wives. Don't take me for a joke boss, I always remember that promise!"

Su Qin had said that he would marry a hundred wives when he was young. At that time, he had thought that Jing Yi was just joking around, but he never thought that this guy actually treated marrying his wives as the goal of his struggles.

"Shameless hooligan."

Liao Xinxin spat.

Jing Yi did not lower yourself to her level. Perhaps, Su Qin was in a good mood when he came to Jing Yi, and he asked, "Boss, you never stepped out of the door. Why are you in a dangerous place like the East forest barren hill? Jing Yi spoke casually, not caring about how Su Qin felt at all.

Su Qin knew that Jing Yi had no ill intentions, he was still very concerned about him, but his mouth was a little smelly, "You useless trash, you still have the face to call me young master, I can hear your evil reputation, I'm afraid many people are cursing you for dying a horrible death, recently you did not even know how to hold back."

The two of them seemed to be cursing each other, but from the contents of their words, it could be seen that they were paying attention to each other.

"Boss," Jing Yi's eyes reddened. As expected, Boss did not abandon me, he still cared about me a lot.

Jing Yi said anxiously: "Boss knows that the Desolate Mountain is not safe these days, ten days ago, there were battles within 800 miles of the Desolate Mountain that alerted the high levelled Barren beast, and nowadays, even mercenaries do not visit the Desolate Mountain often, Boss is taking too many risks entering the Desolate Mountain by himself."

Su Qin did not know about the chaos in the mountains, no wonder there were so many people around, the more they walked in, the fewer adventurers and hiring groups they were. Previously, he did not understand why it seemed to be related to the battle 10 days ago.

He couldn't let Su Qin just give up like that, he urgently needed the spiritual nucleus to increase its strength. Where would he be able to find such a good place to train after leaving the East forest barren hill?

"Sans, since there's a riot in the mountains, you should hurry up and leave. Due to a few reasons, I need a low level spiritual nucleus, so I can't leave with you. After I get out, we'll find some time to gather."

"Boss, you can cultivate now?" When Jing Yi heard his boss say that he needed low level spiritual nucleus, he guessed that Su Qin could start cultivating now.

did not deny that this was his greatest secret, and up till now, only his father knew about it. Jing Yi could believe that, but he did not dare guarantee that the people from Xin Xin's employment group would not leak his secret out.

Jing Yi made the biggest decision in his life, he wanted to accompany his boss to go deeper into the desolate mountain.

"Boss, I don't care what you need spiritual nucleus for, but I can't let you go to the Desolate Mountain by yourself. One man, two brothers.

"Captain Liao will send word to the Chamber of Commerce to hire you. Even if I die in the mountains, you can leave with your subordinates. Of course, if you are willing to follow me deeper into the mountains, I am willing to pay five times the price to hire you."

"Ci!"

In one breath, Liao Zhonghua's cold element was five times the price of twenty-six thousand silver taels. This price was enough to even hire a team with a set of Great Spirit.
