Whether it was the human race or the beast race, their territories were vast and boundless. It was impossible to monitor every inch of land, so it was normal to have blind spots.
But this way, the danger would be greatly increased. Once they were discovered by the enemy, they would be regarded as invaders and would be killed.
He didn't expect them to take such a risk. What exactly was there in the Beast Forest that they were so desperate to find?
Xiao Yang frowned. After pondering for a while, he shook off this thought. No matter what the Dragon and Tiger brothers' motives were, at least their temporary goal was to go to the Beast Forest. This way, he might be able to follow them.
Now that things had come to this, it was impossible to count on Qiu Wanjin.
He might only have a chance to enter the Beast Forest if he followed the Dragon and Tiger brothers.
But he didn't know where the Dragon and Tiger brothers got the confidence to enter the Beast Forest's blind spot. Even Xiao Yang didn't know where the Beast Forest's blind spot was.
Since he had decided to go to the Beast Forest with the Dragon and Tiger brothers, then there was a problem in front of him.
Should he reveal his identity and go with the Dragon and Tiger brothers, or follow them secretly?
"Forget it. Let's go to the border of the Beast Forest first."
Xiao Yang didn't think too much about it. He asked for a room in this inn and rested for the time being.
His divine sense was constantly monitoring the Dragon and Tiger brothers' movements.
Outside the city.
After the Dragon and Tiger brothers met up with the mercenaries, they also found a suitable place to rest. They planned to set off the next day.
Judging from the current situation, the Dragon and Tiger brothers only hired a mercenary group called the Leopard Mercenary Group. The other two mercenary groups chose to travel together for some reason.
Nightfall.
The leader of the Leopard Mercenary Group came to the Dragon and Tiger brothers' tent personally. Along the way, he walked with majestic gait. He didn't smile and gave off a murderous aura.
When he entered the tent, this frosty expression disappeared immediately. Instead, he revealed a bright smile and looked at Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu happily.
"Dalong, Dahu."
He called out excitedly with joy in his eyes. It was the joy of meeting someone from the same hometown.
"Big Brother Leopard."
Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu also looked excited when they saw the person who came. They looked at each other in a daze with indescribable joy.
The three of them were originally villagers from the towns around Chaos City. It was only by chance that they each found their own way out and embarked on the path of cultivation.
The town they were originally in had long disappeared, and even the villagers were nowhere to be found. How could they not be happy to see their childhood friends here?
Although on the surface they were in an employer-employee relationship and weren't familiar with each other, in reality, they were as close as brothers.
The reason why he acted so distant and cold was only for the other two mercenary groups to see.
"It's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"
The guy nicknamed Leopard looked at them with concern and nostalgia on his face.
"Brother Leopard, we are all fine. It's just that our little sister is missing. We received news that she has already entered the Beast Forest. We had no choice but to contact the mercenaries. We want to borrow their strength to help us enter the Beast Forest. We want to find our little sister and live happily together as a family. In the past, we didn't have the strength, but now, we can at least protect ourselves. "
Chen Dalong spoke frankly without hiding anything.
Speaking up to this point, he couldn't help but smile. "What we didn't expect was that Brother Leopard has already taken the leader's position. Congratulations. Of course, work is work, private is private. We can clearly distinguish between work and personal. We won't pull strings with you to raise your position. "
Chen Dahu said excitedly, "Dalong is right. Brother Leopard, your position didn't come easily. We naturally won't use our relationship with you to interfere with your mercenary group's matters. On the surface, we still have an employer-employee relationship, but in private, we can be brothers. "
Leopard couldn't help but sigh with emotion. His eyes were a little moist.
The reason why he had always remembered Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu and treated them as brothers was because their character was worthy of praise.
He said heroically, "Dalong, Dahu, since you both call me Brother Leopard, I'll say it right here. Whatever I have, you also have a share. When the time is right, I'll express my relationship with you and give you positions and identities."
"It's just that now isn't the time. Our Leopard Mercenary Group is cooperating with two other mercenary groups to go to the Beast Forest. In fact, we've received orders from above. I can't say any more secrets. What I can guarantee is that after this mission is over, if you're willing, you can become my left and right assistants. Us three brothers and little sister will be together."
Even the leopard himself was moved by his words.
"Brother Leopard."
Chen Dalong and Chen Dahu were also moved. Their eyes were moist.
After a night of silence, Xiao Yang closed his eyes and went to sleep.
He wasn't interested in the relationship and friendship between Chen Dalong, Chen Dahu, and Leopard. He simply withdrew his divine sense.
His current goal was to go to the Beast Forest and check the exact location of the Bloodthirsty Ice Silkworm and Flamingo.
To him, the people around him, no matter if they were rich or poor, were just strangers. They were passersby.
Although he didn't care about these people, he knew that the three mercenary groups were controlled and ordered by someone else. When he was bored to death, Xiao Yang was also curious about who was controlling the mercenary groups.
At dawn the next day, Qiu Wanjin woke up early. After washing up, he led his caravan out of Chaos City and headed towards the Beast Forest.
After they were far away, Chen Dalong, Chen Dahu, the Leopard Mercenary Group, the Wolfhound Mercenary Group, and the Ocelot Mercenary Group also moved and followed behind Qiu Wanjin.
Xiao Yang released his divine sense, which covered a radius of tens of thousands of meters. Naturally, he saw their movements and left the inn. Hou Man, who was hanging behind them, also followed them.
Other than that, Xiao Yang also noticed the scattered itinerant cultivators along the way. These itinerant cultivators probably also had the idea of entering the Beast Forest.
Qiu Wanjin, who was walking at the front, naturally knew what was happening behind him through his subordinates' reports. However, he didn't care. He only muttered to himself, "There are people who don't know what's good for them every time, and no one survives every time. Sigh, what a sin."
The journey was smooth, and they didn't encounter any trouble.
After walking for a few days and nights, they were already close to the border of the Beast Forest.
Qiu Wanjin continued to lead the caravan forward. They would be able to enter the Beast Forest in half a day's time.
They had a pass to enter the Beast Forest, which meant that the beasts had placed a taboo seal on them. The beasts wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Meanwhile, Chen Dalong, Chen Dahu, the Leopard Mercenary Group, and the others chose to leave the original route during their next rest. They headed towards another path.
Many itinerant cultivators also made their choice. Some continued to follow behind Qiu Wanjin's caravan, while others chose to follow behind the mercenary group.
