At night, the forest cicadas chirped as Alan leaned against a tree trunk, falling into a deep sleep.Qin Tian stood not far away, turning his head and whispering,“Kazik, watch him.”Buzz~A faint sound came from the shadows.Whoosh~~Qin Tian disappeared into the shadows and soon arrived at a temporary living area on the front line.When he arrived, a crow suddenly dispersed, transforming into a black mist that surged into Qin Tian's body.Qin Tian stood in the shadows, looking around. Mercenaries lay sleeping on blankets, without any cover. Fortunately, mosquito repellent had been sprinkled nearby, ensuring they wouldn't be disturbed by mosquitoes.On a giant tree branch, a section of the branch had been leveled, and a tent was ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) pitched on it. Figures moved within the tent.“Boss, Old Lei is probably in grave danger.”Ji Liang, the Vice Captain of the Volcano Mercenary Group, said in a low voice, “I had people search all over near the Purple Vine Spirit Tree. In one spot, Old Lei’s tracks suddenly vanished, as if he evaporated into thin air. I estimate that even if he’s not dead, he must have been taken away by the Dark Elves.”Opposite Ji Liang, Captain Huo Lianshan frowned slightly and asked, “Are you sure the others were killed by the Dark Elves?”“That much is certain!”Ji Liang nodded and said, “Several people saw them being killed by Dark Elves and Black Beasts with their own eyes. No one else was involved.”Hearing this, Huo Lianshan’s expression turned grim:“Why did Lei Zhen take people there? Shouldn't he have been stationed on the defensive line?”Ji Liang explained, “I’ve clarified this. The reason is that Lei Zhen and his group injured a fifth-tier Dark Druid, but this Druid escaped and was eventually killed by two people from the 18th Squad. When Lei Zhen came looking for them, some elves happened to arrive and demanded that they protect the Purple Vine Spirit Tree.”“So, these two people caused Lei Zhen’s death?” Huo Lianshan’s voice turned cold.“You could say that.”Ji Liang paused, then added, “However, Boss, one of these two, a young man named Qin Tian, is a tough nut to crack. He’s a sniper, wielding an extremely powerful Rune Sniper Rifle. It’s said that at least a dozen fourth-tier Dark Elves and Black Beasts died by his gun today, all with a single headshot.”“Rune Sniper Rifle.”Huo Lianshan frowned.“Boss, what do you think? Should I go deal with them?” Ji Liang asked.Huo Lianshan thought for a moment and said, “Forget it. It’s almost the most crucial moment. It’s not advisable to cause extra trouble now.”“Hmm, I thought so too.”Ji Liang nodded, then asked, “What about the Hurricane Mercenary Group and the Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group? If we don’t eliminate them, I’m afraid they’ll become our stumbling blocks.”“Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements for that.”Huo Lianshan sneered, “Mo Bufan is too cautious, so it’s not easy to make a move against him. But Feng Mocuan is different. He’s full of weaknesses. That side has already set out. He won’t survive tonight.”What?From a distance, Qin Tian, who had been eavesdropping with his enhanced hearing, frowned.He had a good impression of that bold and unrestrained mercenary group captain. However, from Huo Lianshan’s tone, it seemed the Hurricane Mercenary Group was about to face big trouble tonight.Beep~His smart bracelet vibrated slightly. Qin Tian opened it and saw it was a distress message from Li Qi.“Master, help!”Feng Mocuan knelt on one knee, leaning on his blood-stained longsword, a metallic sweetness surging in his throat.“Captain!”Behind him, the members of the Hurricane Mercenary Group looked grief-stricken.“Don’t look back, run!”Feng Mocuan roared. After saying this, he could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of black blood.“Captain!”“Go now!!!” Feng Mocuan shrieked, his voice deafening.The members’ eyes were red, their fingernails digging deep into their flesh. Yet, looking at that desolate and resolute back, they gritted their teeth and rushed into the forest.Rustling dry leaves crunched underfoot as dozens of eerie green eyes lit up in the darkness, approaching him step by step.The leading Dark Elf walked forward with a sword, a sinister smile on his face. Dark purple venom dripped along the sword’s pattern, causing green smoke to rise from the dry leaves.Feng Mocuan looked at the venom dripping from the blade, a flicker of anger and sorrow in his eyes.The poison in his body wasn’t from a sword wound; he had been poisoned before the battle even began.It was truly ironic; the one who poisoned him was actually an old teammate he trusted implicitly.Feng Mocuan couldn’t imagine when and by what means the Dark Elves had turned his subordinate.But at this point, saying anything was useless.He was too deeply poisoned, with no chance of survival. All he could do now was buy time for his brothers.“I’ll deal with this one, you go after the others!”The Dark Elf waved his hand, giving the order.“Yes!”The nearby Dark Elves nodded and immediately dispersed to pursue the other members of the Hurricane Mercenary Group.Upon seeing this, Feng Mocuan’s eyes widened in fury. He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of hot vital blood onto the sword. In an instant, the sword body erupted with a three-zhang green glow.The air around him began to distort. A fierce wind, carrying gravel and withered branches, spun wildly, condensing into several wind blades at his side. These wind blades were incredibly sharp; wherever they passed, the space seemed to be torn with fine cracks.He swung his sword fiercely, and the entire mountain forest was instantly enveloped in a green storm.The fierce wind-element martial skill, like a colossal green dragon, roared forward. Wherever it went, the Dark Elves let out shrill screams, their bodies torn to shreds by the wind blades, turning into a rain of blood.Even hard rocks were ground into powder by the wind’s force.The wild wind raged, uprooting trees, which spun in the air as if manipulated by an invisible giant hand.Feng Mocuan’s clothes flapped violently in the gale, and his hair flew wildly. His face grew paler and paler, black blood constantly oozing from the corners of his mouth, but a resolute fire burned in his eyes as he poured his last remaining strength, without reservation, into this world-shattering wind-element martial skill.The Dark Elf clearly hadn’t expected that Feng Mocuan, deeply poisoned, could still unleash such a ferocious attack. Hearing the screams of his subordinates, he was enraged. His evil energy erupted, transforming him into a black shadow that charged towards Feng Mocuan.At this moment, Feng Mocuan’s vision had already begun to darken. The feeling of weakness made him almost unable to grip the longsword in his hand. Looking at the rapidly approaching black shadow, he gave a bitter smile and closed his eyes.“Brothers, I’ve done my best. The rest is up to you.”Bang!Just as Feng Mocuan’s consciousness was about to sink, he suddenly heard a familiar explosive sound.He had heard that sound dozens of times that morning.Bang~ Bang~ Crushing sounds continued to ring out, like rhythmic drumbeats.At this moment, a relieved smile appeared on Feng Mocuan’s face.He’s here. I can leave with peace of mind.Bang~With the last sound, the Dark Elves were completely wiped out. Qin Tian emerged from the shadows, stood beside Feng Mocuan, and quickly began to provide treatment.
