At those words, they nodded and secretly noted it down.

Walking forwards, after a while, they came to that place with a fire lit in front of them. The smell of blood was still lingering. Although the corpses on the ground had obviously been disposed of, there were no corpses to be seen in the surroundings, only some bloodstains.

Thirty or so mercenaries were standing or sitting around there talking, and amongst these mercenaries, there were several young men and women.

“Old Zheng, how is it? Did you catch up with the people?”

Another middle-aged man saw them come back, so he opened his mouth, and his gaze turned, and somewhat surprisingly landed on Seventeen and a few children who were following behind.

...

“Where are these children from? Still so young?” The middle-aged man frowned, stared at Muchen and Muyue, then looked at Hao’er, and finally spun around Seventeen, but he saw that the man who looked like a guard was actually only a small cultivator who had just induced qi into his body not long ago.

“Hehe, Captain, the matter is like this …”

That middle-aged man who had brought Hao’er and the others over smiled and glanced back at Hao’er’s several people before walking over to that middle-aged man and briefly telling him about the matter.

“What? You mean that one-eyed dragon escaped but was killed by just the kid?” That Captain pointed at Hao’er with some consternation.

Hao’er frowned, somewhat disliking the fact that someone was pointing at him in this manner, however, he did not say anything, but took the opportunity to take a general look at the thirty or so mercenaries, and then finally glanced at the two men and two women who were sitting by the fire and were staring at them.

Not only was that Captain aghast, it was the mercenaries around them who also had a look of having seen a ghost after hearing the words of their Vice Captain.

“Well, that’s it, that one-eyed dragon was already dead when we arrived, it was this kid who killed him.” That Vice Captain Zheng laughed and looked at the young teenager who had a cold face.

“So when he said something about letting us escort them out of the forest, I thought that we were just about to go back as well, so I took the initiative and agreed.”

“Tsk, this kid picked up a big bargain, if it wasn’t for the fact that we laid a lot of traps around here, that One eyed dragon’s gang wouldn’t have been wiped out so easily by us, he’s good, he picked up a big bargain without doing anything.” A mercenary snorted coldly and swept a glance at Hao’er with a bit of displeasure and contempt on his face.

In their opinion, wasn’t it this kid who had picked up a bargain off them? The person they had surrounded and attacked to kill was injured and fled by their Captain and Vice Captain joining hands, and they were looking at a cooked duck, but it just flew away.

But fortunately, the things on that one-eyed dragon ended up in the hands of their mercenary group, if this kid dared to swallow it, they would have to slaughter him.

“Alright, alright, in that case, let’s do what Old Zheng said! Anyway, our side of the mission has been completed and we’re just about to leave the forest, so there’s no harm in bringing them along.” That Captain said, waving his hand so that they didn’t have to say anything more.

“You guys, come over here and take a break!” Vice Captain Zheng smiled and beckoned, signalling the few children standing at the side to come over and sit by the fire.

Hao’er paused for a moment, and then led Muchen and Muyue towards that side, however, when he was about to sit down by the fire, a young woman next to him frowned unhappily and said, “Sit over there, don’t get me all dirty.”

Saying that, she also half covered her nose and said in disgust, “Ugh, they are all dirty and messy, I don’t know how long it’s been since they took a bath.”
