Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao and said nothing else.
Shen Yanxiao quickly finished her apple and tidied herself up. She was prepared to search for some unfortunate advanced-ranked demons in the mountains to train with.
A moment later, Xiu turned into black mist and returned back to Shen Yanxiao’s body.
He was probably the only one who knew the reason for his decision not to personally guide Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao, who was tricked by a certain Great Master, was full of fighting spirit as she hopped around the mountain to look for demons.
She was probably the only human who had ever thought of doing this.
Shen Yanxiao was only one step away from carrying a flag and singing, “Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountain and feed the beast.”
However, for some reason, she still could not find a single demon, let alone an advanced-ranked demon.
According to the map, even though the mountain did not home as many demons as cities, it was not as if there were none!
Or had the demons started to improve their quality of life? Had they escaped the vagabond life and entered cities to pass their days?
Shen Yanxiao could not help but imagine scenes of demons moving to various cities with small bags over their shoulders.
That scene was really…
Something!
Shen Yanxiao still could not find any demons, even after she had walked from the mountainside to its peak. Just as she was about to look for another mountain, she heard a commotion not far away.
Shen Yanxiao immediately crouched and dashed forward. Behind a huge boulder, she finally discovered a large group of demons.
With a group of humans.
Five to six hundred low-ranked demons stood in a dense mass. Among the group of low-ranked demons, one could vaguely see some intermediate-ranked demons in their beast forms. Right in front of the group of demons, two advanced-ranked demons in revealing clothes stood with their arms crossed.
Opposite the demons, a team of about two hundred humans had been forced to the bottom of the rock.
Five to six hundred demons surrounded those miserable humans.
From the way they dressed, it seemed like they were a group of mercenaries, a group larger than the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group.
However…
The situation of those elite mercenaries was not optimistic. The leader was a middle-aged man with scars all over his body. The mercenaries formed a protective circle, surrounded a man and a woman in the middle.
The man and woman, who were protected by the mercenaries, looked to be about fifteen to sixteen years old. They were dressed differently from the other mercenaries.
Even though the young man was also dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, his fair face and clean clothes made him look like a pampered young master. He did not look like a mercenary at all.
As for the young lady by his side, she wore a light yellow dress, but there was no color on her delicate, pale face.
The two of them were protected by a group of mercenaries, and they were not injured at all. On the other hand, the mercenaries were covered in wounds.
Shen Yanxiao also saw a few low-ranked demons greedily gnawing on a dead mercenary’s corpse.
No matter how one looked at it, it looked as if they had experienced a huge battle.
Even though there were many mercenaries, they were unlucky enough to have encountered a group of demons led by two advanced-ranked demons.
