Chapter 372: Refusal to Walk an Easy Way Out (2)
Shen Yanxiao did not expect to b.u.mp into another group just as she stepped out of the darkness.
It was a small team with about a dozen mercenaries, and it looked like they also intended to sneak into the forest of Mount Kuluo to make a quick buck.
Those people were momentarily stunned when they saw Shen Yanxiao. They had snuck out to avoid discovery, and so they did not expect a little kid to have found them as soon as they left.
Shen Yanxiao had looked so out of place when she was amongst the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group that everyone in the thousand-men team knew who she was.
Everyone had wondered about the reason Du Lang had brought a useless kid with him. If it were not for the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s reputation, they would not even bother to look at that little kid.
However, they also did not expect to b.u.mp into her.
“Why is the kid not asleep? And why did he come out?” One of the men muttered. He also thought that no one would know about them sneaking out, so he did not expect the kid to see them instead.
The client knew what the rogue mercenaries had done, but he did not care about them. Perhaps the client thought that he would have to pay less because of their actions.
That was why they wanted to sneak out at night. However, it seemed that part of their plan had failed.
“d.a.m.n it! That little kid had better keep his mouth shut tomorrow. If the client were to find out about this and decided to deduct our reward, our leader would strangle us!”
Those mercenaries stared at Shen Yanxiao with ill intentions. If it were not for the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group, that kid would not have been on their radar. Since they thought she was a young child, an idea struck them.
A man with tall build glared at Shen Yanxiao with a fierce expression as he waved the steel sword in his hand. “Little kid, you had better listen up. You did not see anything tonight. If you are careless with your words, I’ll let you taste my sword!”
Shen Yanxiao blinked at him. She had seen some reckless people, but she had never met someone who did not fear death and even dared to threaten her.
She had not planned to meddle in their business. However, they had dared to provoke her. It seemed like they wanted to court death.
“I’m not interested in your business. However, if you dare to continue with this nonsense, I’ll make you crawl your way out.” She had a demon to find, and those idiots had better not delayed her.
Those mercenaries did not expect a thirteen-year-old kid would dare to threaten them. They were so surprised that it looked as if their eyes would pop out of its socket.
“Little kid, just because you have the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s protection, don’t a.s.sume that you can rest easy. Du Lang would not even know if I were to kill you where you stand!” The man looked at her maliciously as he spoke.
Without another word, Shen Yanxiao took her rarely used Clemance from her interspatial ring. Ten arrows were loaded in the blink of an eye, and then she released them. Those mercenaries did not even have the time to react before a strong force hit them. The impact was so strong that it pushed them back until they hit the tree trunks.
Dang, dang, dang!
In an instant, those arrows had nailed those arrogant mercenaries to the trees. Each of the arrows pierced through their shoulders and struck the tree trucks.
