Hearing this, they nodded and took note of it secretly.
Walking forward, after a while, we came to the place where the fire was lit. There was still a bloody smell around, and the body on the ground had obviously been dealt with. There was no body around, only some bloodstains.
More than thirty mercenaries were standing or sitting there talking, and among them there were several young men and women.
"Old Zheng, how is it? Did you catch the person?"
When the other middle-aged man saw them coming back, he started talking. Then his eyes turned and looked with some surprise at Seventeen and the children who were following behind them.
"Where did this child come from? He's so young?" The middle-aged man frowned, stared at Mu Chen and Mu Yue, then looked at Hao'er, and finally looked at Seventeen, only to find that the man who looked like a guard was actually just a young cultivator who had just drawn Qi into his body not long ago.
"Haha, Captain, this is what happened..."
The middle-aged man who brought Hao'er and the others smiled, glanced back at Hao'er and the others, then walked up to the middle-aged man and briefly explained the matter to him.
"What? Are you saying that the one-eyed man escaped but was killed by this kid?" The captain pointed at Hao'er in surprise.
Haoer frowned, somewhat displeased that someone was pointing at him like that, but he did not say anything. Instead, he took the opportunity to take a general look at the thirty-odd mercenaries, and finally glanced at the two men and two women who were sitting by the fire and staring at them.
Not only was the captain stunned, but the mercenaries around him also looked as if they had seen a ghost after hearing what their deputy captain said.
"Yes, that's right. When we arrived, the one-eyed man was already dead. This guy killed him." Deputy Captain Zheng smiled and looked at the young boy with a cold face.
"So he asked us to escort them out of the forest. I thought we were going back anyway, so I decided to do it."
"Tsk, this kid got a great bargain. If we hadn't set up so many traps around here, the One-Eyed Dragon gang wouldn't have been wiped out by us so easily. But he got a great bargain without doing anything." A mercenary snorted coldly and glanced at Hao'er with a bit of displeasure and contempt on his face.
In their view, didn't this kid take advantage of them? The man they surrounded and killed was beaten and escaped by their two captains. Seeing that the duck was already cooked, he flew away just like that.
Fortunately, the things on the one-eyed dragon's body finally fell into the hands of their mercenary group. If this guy dared to swallow it, they would have killed him.
"Okay, okay, in that case, let's do as Lao Zheng says! Anyway, we have completed our mission here and are preparing to leave the forest, so it doesn't hurt to take them with us." The captain said, waving his hand, telling them not to say anything more.
"You guys, come over here and rest for a while!" Deputy Captain Zheng waved his hand with a smile, motioning the children standing nearby to come over and sit by the fire.
Hao'er paused for a moment, then led Mu Chen and Mu Yue to that side. However, just as they were about to sit down by the fire, a young woman next to them frowned unhappily and said, "Sit a little further away, don't get me dirty."
