"Thank you." Fan Yixiu took it and took a sip, then looked at the young man in blue who was busy grilling meat over there.
The second master of the Chai family who was sitting opposite him followed his gaze and his eyes also fell on the young man in blue. He smiled and said, "This Xiaojiu has a very likable personality. He is honest and simple."
"Yes!" Fan Yixiu nodded with a smile, then retracted his gaze and started talking to Mr. Chai about the Fire Stone.
Meanwhile, Fengjiu was grilling meat and soon became friends with the Chai family. She kept calling them "big brother" and "sister", which made everyone very happy and they took extra care of her.
"The barbecue is here. Come and try some of it. It's freshly made and tastes delicious." Fengjiu brought some barbecue to them and ran back to help with the roasted pig. For a moment, the forest was filled with a rich aroma of meat and the laughter of everyone.
After finishing the barbecue, the second master of the Chai family said, "It's time to go. We can't stay here for too long."
"Okay." Fan Yixiu nodded and said something to everyone, then followed the Chai family's team into the forest.
Fengjiu followed the young man in the team. The two of them talked and laughed along the way. They were not at the end of the team, nor at the front, but walked in the middle.
Suddenly, the team in front stopped. The leader, Mr. Chai, made a gesture, and the people around them surrounded them vigilantly, facing their surroundings. At the same time, one hand was already on the weapon at the waist, ready to take action at any time.
Fan Yixiu and his companions were also looking around vigilantly. They were protected by mercenaries, but even so, they did not dare to relax at all, until they heard loud laughter.
“Hahahahahaha…”
As the laughter spread, men in mercenary uniforms emerged from the surrounding woods. Each of them had strength at the level of a flying fairy, and their evil spirit and murderous intent were extremely obvious, causing everyone to feel uneasy.
The mercenaries who were protecting Fan Yixiu and his companions recognized who the other party were and couldn't help but gasp: "It's the Scorpion Mercenaries!" Their faces turned pale and fear could be seen in their eyes.
There is no mercenary walking in this area who does not know the notorious reputation of the Scorpion Mercenaries. These people specialize in looting and will not refuse anyone. Most of the men are killed and their property is robbed. The fate of women is even more miserable. They will kill those with average looks after playing with them, and if they meet those with good looks, they will imprison them and use them as playthings after playing with them. Their methods are so cruel that people are terrified.
"What Scorpion Mercenary Group?" Several women from the Nebula Immortal Sect who were unaware of the inside story could not help but ask in a low voice.
However, the mercenaries who were protecting them pursed their lips, looked grim, and could not utter a word.
Fan Yixiu had heard of the Scorpion Mercenary Group. When he saw that those people had a red scorpion tattooed on their faces, his heart sank. He lowered his voice and said to the people around him, "The situation looks bad. You guys go first. Run straight out of the volcanic forest. Don't stop."
The other two men from the sect felt depressed when they saw that not only the mercenaries who were protecting them looked strange, but also the older people from the Chai family looked strange.
