By the stream, a battle between humans and beasts was turned upside down.

Keynes became more and more brave as he fought. His sharp sword energy left one wound after another on the hard leather armor of Shanxi. This monster no longer had its previous violent aura.

Both Arthur and the mercenaries of the mercenary group were all excited. As one of the only two level 8 warriors in Huaores City, the mercenaries knew that their leader was powerful, but few people had seen Cairns take full advantage.

Now the mercenaries truly understand why the two old mercenary groups, "Blood Thorn" and "Wild Wolf Fox", have always been dissatisfied with the rapid rise of "Blue Demon" but dare not speak out, so they can only make some small trips in secret.

After fighting with Cairns again with his unicorn on his head, the mountain-shaking rhinoceros suddenly turned around and rushed upstream.

"Running?" The mercenaries watching the battle from afar had not reacted at first.

The first person to react was the elf Ilaya, who jumped out of the grass and chased him in the direction of the mountain-shaking rhinoceros escape.

"Forget it, stop chasing, this guy has a very strong vitality, we can't kill it." Cairns shouted at the elf archer in time.

"Level 7th level monster, if we can kill this big guy, our 'Blue Magic' will show our big face in Huaores!" Angus shook his head with regret.

"Stop dreaming, we won't be able to get it back if we kill it." Adeline said with a slight breathing blowing from her forehead. The battle just now almost exhausted her magic. If the mountain-shaking rhinoceros doesn't run away, she will have to withdraw from the battle first.

The two suddenly realized that Cairns had not spoken anymore, and suddenly looked up and found that his face was pale. Although he was holding a sword in his hands, his legs were trembling slightly.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" Angus stepped forward and held Cairns' arm.

The moment Angus held Cairns, his body squirted out blood in a squirt.

"Are you injured just now?" Adeline also stepped forward to support Cairns and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's just that the old injury I used back then, I used a little too much force just now." Keynes wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sat down slowly.

"We are being followed, you find people when you don't attract attention." Keynes said suddenly in a very low voice.

Angus and Adeline were both stunned, but there was no abnormality on their faces.

When all the mercenaries surrounded them, the two quietly retreated from the crowd.

The mercenary group decided to stay by the stream that night. After the inspiring battle just now, the aura left by level seven monsters was everywhere. The low-level monsters did not dare to approach them. Now this place has become the safest place.

When the bonfire was lit, Angus and Adeline returned to the camp. The mercenaries were still talking excitedly about the battle just now, and no one noticed where the two leaders had gone during this period.

Cairns sat alone by a small bonfire, drinking in small sips, and there were two grilled fish that Arthur had just sent over. He knew that the commander had suffered some injuries in the battle just now, and no one came to disturb him.

Cairns signaled Angus and Adeline to sit down, and asked anxiously, "Have you found anything?"

Adeline shook her head gently.

Angus also shook his head, but immediately added: "Although no one was found to follow, there were indeed traces of others staying nearby. I found two lodging grasses that were crushed by people."

As a hunter, Angus is very sensitive to the traces of various animals. If he said it was left by humans, it would be correct.

Cairns frowned and showed such an expression.

"How do you know we were being followed?" Adeline asked in confusion.

"I said I guessed, do you believe it?" Cairns asked back.

Adeline gave him a look of disdain.

Cairns was bored and had to say, "As soon as we entered the mountains, we met Bi Li Group. If we could explain it by coincidence, we would fall into the hunting territory that migrated the demon-eating insect group, and then we met the seventh-level monster that suddenly rushed out of the territory. There must be some necessity behind too many coincidences!"

"Just based on these, do you judge that someone is deliberately targeting us? It is impossible for someone to control the Demon-Devouring Worm Swarm and Level 7 Warcraft." Adeline was still a little disbelief.

Keynes looked at Angus, "Is there any way to do it based on your experience?"

Angus pondered for a long time before he said slowly, "Someone can control the level 7 monster, but there is no way to deal with a low-IQ monster like Demon Eater."

"Am I wrong?" Keynes' brows frowned even tighter.

Angus suddenly changed his subject, "Boss, your judgment is not wrong! I thought about it. Although it is difficult to control the monster, it is easy to lure the monster on the route we are traveling. As long as the monster meets us, the monster will naturally attack us on the initiative."

"Then how did they do it?"

"I know how to lure the mountain-shaking rhinoceros. As long as it gets the urine of the mother mountain-shaking rhinoceros during the season when it is in heat, it will keep chasing along the smell. As for the demon-eating insect, although I don't know what the other party has used, I heard that the blood of the dragon has a fatal temptation to these insects." Angus explained slowly.

"Stop kidding. If you have the ability to get the dragon's blood, the other party still needs to have such a means to us? We can't resist when we kill directly." Adeline still didn't believe Keynes' judgment.

"No, the enemy doesn't need to really get the dragon's blood at all!" Cairns interrupted Adeline directly, "Don't forget that there are many subspecies of the dragon's bloodline. I think the blood of these monsters may play a similar role."

All three of them fell into silence.

All the links were explained. A huge trap might have been laid out earlier since the moment the mercenary group entered the mountain!

But a new fog also arises. Who sets this trap for the mercenary group?

"Blood-thorn? Wild Wolf Fox? Or the two companies join forces?" Adeline asked suddenly and tentatively.

Keynes shook his head firmly, "None of them are. Although the three companies are in a competitive relationship, as old mercenary groups, they have not yet made up their power. The most important thing is that they have not swallowed our strength in one bite!"

"So the problem lies with the mission? Someone has set his sights on what we escorted this time."

Cairns sighed softly, "I was careless, did I underestimate the things I escorted this time?"

"I know I shouldn't ask, but at this point, don't you want us to know what the escort is this time?" Adeline's tone was full of eagerness.

Keynes smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I'm not sure what we're sending? So I don't know if it might be better for you."

"Then let's give up this mission and return the commission to the client." Adelin advised.

"As a mercenary, once the mission is taken, you cannot give up even if you die."

Keynes slowed down and continued, "The danger of this mission has exceeded my expectations. You can lead the team back tomorrow. I will take the things to Sauron Canyon by myself. Now I really want to meet who the employer is?"
