BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
Treasure Hunt

"A cave?"

Raising his brows, Xiao Yan watched the Fairy Doctor with great interest as he said, "You tried to enter it just a moment ago, didn't you?"

"Yes but the cliff is too steep. I can't go in."

The Fairy Doctor glanced at the excited Xiao Yan and said gently, "I can share this secret with you but you better not have any idea to try bagging it all. Otherwise, I won't let you get those things smoothly. Believe me, my strength may not be comparable to yours but as a two star Dou Zhe, you cannot be considered strong in the entire Qingshan City. "

Seeing the seriousness on the Fairy Doctor's face, Xiao Yan smiled, touched her nose and teased, "Initially, I intended to knock you down and fall down myself. But seeing that your confidence is on the safe side, I better get rid of this idea. "

Hearing this, the Fairy Doctor snorted and threw a sharp glare at Xiao Yan. He had not expected this fellow to actually have such an idea.

"Do you want me to try it now?"

Taking a step forward, Xiao Yan stared at the dangerous position of the strange branch before tilting his head and asking.

"Forget over. We've been away from that for quite a while. If we don't return, Mu Li will be suspicious. The medicinal herb picking team will be staying at the Magical Beast Mountain Range for one night, so why don't we come tonight? " Turning his head, the Fairy Doctor voiced her thoughts.

"Mu Li's. He's the young master of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, right? "

"Yes." Yeah." The Fairy Doctor nodded her head slightly, clearly not wanting to talk more about this person. After staring at Xiao Yan, he gently asked, "Your name?"

"Xiao Yan."

Without saying a word, the Fairy Doctor nodded, turned around and walked towards the dense forest area. Watching the graceful figure slowly disappear into the shadows, Xiao Yan merely shrugged his shoulders. He turned around and once again directed his gaze to the almost invisible cave entrance and excitedly waved his hand. When he spoke to the mercenaries in Wu Tan City, he was very interested in this kind of adventure and treasure hunting. If not for his agreement with the Fairy Doctor, he would have immediately left the group and searched for the treasure alone.

After laughing softly, Xiao Yan also turned around and headed towards the dense forest area. He had not expected that his random trip would give him such a big reward.

By the time the couple returned to the troops, they discovered that the resting mercenaries had already gathered and were waiting.

"Doctor Elf, if you go missing any longer, we'll send people to look for you."

Seeing the Fairy Doctor walking out of the dense forest area, a figure rushed over. However, his footsteps came to a halt as he saw Xiao Yan appear behind him. He asked with a smile, "Who is this young man?"

"He's one of the mercenary guards. I happened to meet him. "

The Fairy Doctor replied nonchalantly before continuing gently, "Young Master Mu Li, let's go. There is still a distance to go before we arrive at our destination. "

"Ke ke's. Fine."

The young man called Young Master Mu Li nodded with a smile. He shifted his body and let the Fairy Doctor pass by. However, as Xiao Yan walked past him, he extended his hand and stopped him.

While fusing his two eyebrows together, Xiao Yan tilted his head towards the handsome young company head and asked with a smile, "There's a problem, Young Master Mu Li."

"Hehe, I have no ill intentions. You must be a two star young Dou Zhe, right? I've heard from my subordinates that your talent is amazing. " Smiling, Mu Li slowly asked.

I'm just lucky. Glancing at the warm smile on Mu Li's face, Xiao Yan replied indifferently.

"Are you interested in joining the Wolf Head Mercenary Company? Our Mercenary Company will give you outstanding talents like your preferential treatment. After all, one's life was always in danger in this Magical Beast Mountain Range. It would be better if someone took care of you. " Mu Li laughed, his ten fingers crossed each other.

Listening to Mu Li's real efforts to recruit him, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and shook his head. He said, "Haha, sorry. I am a wild and lazy person. If I joined your company, I'd probably give you a lot of trouble and let you down. "

"Ke Ke, no problem. Little Sister, if you change your mind in the future, you can come find me at any time. The esteemed position of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company will always be open to those who are strong. " Hearing Xiao Yan's rejection, Mu Li smiled and waved his hand in a way that showed his lack of attention.

With a regretful face, Xiao Yan dodged Mu Li and rushed back to the skirmisher unit in front.

Seeing Xiao Yan hurriedly join the group, Mu Li's eyes narrowed. In the depths of his eyes, a faint chill could be seen. Evidently, Xiao Yan's refusal had stirred up anger within him.

After the mercenaries rested for a while, they once again continued on their way. The route they took this time was much quieter than the previous one. Along the way, they met with Magic Beast attacks twice but did not cause too much interference.

The group finally arrived at their destination just as the sky gradually became darker. It was a sunken basin that was covered with many medicinal herbs.

There were many types of medicinal plants growing inside the sunken basin. The medicinal fragrance that floated in the air, which after being inhaled, would immediately give off a fresh feeling.

"Everyone, let's set up camp here. Please be careful not to damage the surrounding medicinal plants. " The Fairy Doctor turned around and gently smiled to everyone as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Hearing the Elf Doctor's words, the surrounding mercenaries immediately gave a stern response and began to enthusiastically set up their tents.

Watching how just the sentence of the Fairy Doctor motivated the mercenaries to work hard, Xiao Yan quietly whistled in his heart. It seemed that the position this woman held in their hearts was much higher than she had expected.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan glanced again at the Fairy Doctor who started instructing the medicinal herb collecting team to dig up the medicinal herbs before wandering around freely.

For some unknown reason, the sunken basin had a richer and purer energy compared to the outside. It has provided the necessary conditions for various medicinal plants to grow.

The basin was vast and the inner terrain was something that even ‘Home of a Thousand Medicines’ had yet to fully explore. The current position that Xiao Yan and the others occupied was merely the outer path of a large basin.

Xiao Yan explored the edges but he did not find the medicinal ingredients he needed. He disappointedly shook his head and glanced at the pitch-black interior. After a moment of silence, he finally chose to obey again. With his current strength, there was danger in every part of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

When he returned to the camp, many white tents had already been set up and the mercenaries were busying themselves with dinner.

The first thing she noticed when she entered the camp was the Fairy Doctor standing gracefully in the middle. By his side was Mu Li, who followed him up close.

As long as Xiao Yan watched the couple, Fairy Doctor and Mu Li turned their gaze to him, seemingly having sensed his eyes. The three gazes clashed but the emotions within were completely different.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Yan nodded to the two before turning around and heading towards the inside of one of the tents.

Seeing Xiao Yan's back disappear, Mu Li faced the Fairy Doctor and smilingly said, "Big brother Xiao Yan seems to have great training potential and will likely have significant achievements in the future."

"Maybe." The Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, neither denying nor approving.

"I'll go and check the ingredients. As for the order in the camp, I need to trouble you Young Master Mu Li. " The Fairy Doctor smiled at Mu Li and after seeing the latter nod her head, she headed to a large tent in the middle of the camp.

Mu Li stared at the elegant back of the Fairy Doctor until she disappeared from his sight. Finally, he reluctantly averted his gaze, clenched his fists and raised the corner of his mouth to form a strange smile.

The sun slowly descended behind the mountain and darkness enveloped the forest. The shadow of the leaves and branches mixed together and formed the shadow of a shadowy beast.

Following the increasingly dark sky, the camp also became even quieter. Other than the mercenaries on guard, only the soft crack of firewood under the flame could be heard.

Under the silent darkness, a tent suddenly moved slightly. The graceful dark shadow quietly came out and quietly escaped into the dark forest through the gaps between the guards.

Not long after the black figure left, another shadow came out of the other tent and followed the previous one.

..

The occasional wolf cry escaped from the dense forest, causing the mercenaries to shudder.

The two shadows that were separated far away continued to run rapidly, continuously increasing their distance from the camp.

In the darkness, Xiao Yan raised his head and with the help of the dim moonlight, stared at the graceful figure in front of him. He chased after her, a faint smile on his face.

"The treasure hunt is about to begin …"

The unease that remained in the darkness had been lost by the joy of the young man.
