The King of Urban Mercenaries

Li Yunfeng heard this and completely dispelled the idea of looking for trouble with Wang Qiang. He nodded, "Since that’s the case, let’s just forget it. Anyway, there’s nothing more to say, let’s go back."

"Yes!"

Chen Qingyun led the Elder, whose cultivation was wasted. He probably wouldn’t be an Elder anymore and should go home and farm.

On Wang Qiang’s side, after having escaped far away, he asked Little Black, "How are things? Can you sense Little Blade’s location?"

Little Black frowned, "You are his master, you should sense him, how can you ask me to sense?"

"I meant for you to sense the location of those two giant wolves, isn’t Little Blade following them now?" Wang Qiang tried to sense, but found he couldn’t contact Little Blade at all. It seemed this sort of vague sensing was hit or miss.

"Wait a minute, move forward! There’s the scent of giant wolves up ahead, it should be those two formidable creatures," Little Black said.

Wang Qiang nodded, immediately following Little Black’s words, heading straight forward. In an instant, he saw the traces left on the ground. Wang Qiang continued along the marks, and finally ahead, he saw two figures still running. Wang Qiang quickly descended downward and landed on the ground in a flash.

At that moment, Wang Qiang suddenly saw a figure in front, constantly changing position like lightning, closely following the giant wolves.

At a glance, Wang Qiang recognized who it was—the scattered Little Blade.

Back then, when Wang Qiang came to Qingyun Mountain, he let Little Blade down and then faced Qingyun Mountain himself, commanding Little Blade to watch the White Wolf.

After all, Wang Qiang felt that these two White Wolves weren’t so simple, and sure enough, they broke free and escaped directly.

And now, Wang Qiang was searching again and finally found the two giant wolves.

"Little Black, it’s up to you this time. Do these two guys really think I’m easy to bully?" Wang Qiang said.

Upon hearing Wang Qiang’s words, Little Black immediately nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll certainly protect you while letting those two guys taste my prowess."

Wang Qiang nodded and chased after them, arriving behind Little Blade. Seeing him, Little Blade immediately said, "Master!" He wanted to kneel but was lifted up by Wang Qiang, who said, "No need for such formalities, the giant wolves are the priority now."

"Yes!"

The two immediately followed, and Wang Qiang learned from Little Blade that the two giant wolves were indeed injured, but their injuries seemed to be improving quickly, meaning they were recovering rapidly.

Wang Qiang had to take this matter seriously. After all, if the wolves had an astonishing recovery ability, he would have to be more cautious; otherwise, in combat, it would become very difficult if their recovery abilities were extraordinary.

The two followed the wolves, continuing forward. Wang Qiang asked, "Where are these two wolves headed?"

"I don’t know, they’re likely heading home," Little Blade replied.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang was reluctant to keep following, considering that if they were going to their lair, was there any point in continuing?

"Why don’t we just confront them? Little Black?" Wang Qiang asked.

"What nonsense, keep following them. You’re not occupied, are you? Searching without aim won’t do, so let’s improve our strength first. Who knows, these two wolves might have some treasures, so let’s keep up," Little Black said.

"Wouldn’t there be treasures if we dealt with them?" Wang Qiang responded.

"It’s different, and can you be sure they don’t have other means? If you can’t, don’t overestimate your abilities; quickly follow them before they escape," Little Black said.

Wang Qiang nodded; indeed, it was a safe approach. Plus, when Little Black and the wolves fought, Wang Qiang could reap the benefits like a fisherman.

So the two continued to follow in their footsteps.

As they delved deeper, Wang Qiang noticed that the wolves’ destination seemed to be a vast, endless mountain range in the distance. Wang Qiang looked at the sweeping mountains, realizing this place was something extraordinary.

"This place seems to be Qingyun’s most renowned Wanshan Ridge," Wang Qiang said.

"Master, did you say Wanshan Ridge?!" Little Blade exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it is indeed Wanshan Ridge, it’s marked on the map as here," Wang Qiang nodded, puzzled by Little Blade’s sudden exaggerated expression.

"Master, perhaps we should go back?" Little Blade hesitated and said.

"Why is that?" Wang Qiang was confused, everything seemed fine, why change minds suddenly?

"Master, you may not know, but I’ve heard a rumor that Wanshan Ridge is the gathering place of the entire East Continent Beast Clan, with incredibly powerful Demon Beasts. So if we go in, there might be grave danger," Little Blade said.

Wang Qiang finally understood and smiled, "Don’t worry, we’ll be fine," he said.

Even though he heard this, Little Blade was still worried. After all, this was too risky, one wrong step and it could be the end!

"Alright, don’t worry. If you’re truly concerned, then wait here and I’ll come back to find you," Wang Qiang suggested.

"How can that be!" Little Blade immediately rejected Wang Qiang’s proposal, saying, "You’ve given me a second life, master, I won’t leave you."

Wang Qiang nodded, "Then let’s go."

The two headed towards Wanshan Ridge and soon entered its territory.

Soon after, Wang Qiang and Little Blade encountered trouble—a strong Demon Beast. Shocked by the two giant wolves, it immediately retreated into a cave, but after the wolves left, it reemerged and spotted Wang Qiang and Little Blade, causing a problem.

Roar!

A mighty roar made nearby Demon Beasts alert, and they all looked over and began to gather.

Wang Qiang hadn’t expected these Demon Beasts to be very smart, but he certainly wouldn’t retreat like this. He quickly grabbed Little Blade, and the Godspeed Talisman was deployed, disappearing instantly from the spot, reappearing far from the area. He even saw the two wolves continuing to run further inside.

Wang Qiang was speechless; with so many Demon Beasts around, it was no wonder that Wanshan Ridge was called a gathering place for Demon Beasts.

With a thrilling chase, Wang Qiang tailed the giant wolves and finally reached the destination—a valley filled with jagged white bones.

In the valley, not a blade of grass grew...
