BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
Gan Mu

Slowly walking inside the dense forest, Xiao Yan's eyes stared at the gradually thinning forest and heaved a sigh of relief. He was currently at the outer edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. If he continued walking for a certain distance, he would definitely be able to meet some Mercenary Company that had entered the mountains to hunt Magical Beasts.

Raising his head, Xiao Yan watched the somewhat dark sky and involuntarily frowned. It seemed like he had to spend the night in the mountains once again.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan patted the Heavy Xuan Ruler on his back; it was completely wrapped in a black cloth. The strange-looking Black Sovereign had become a unique mark, causing Xiao Yan to have little choice but to think of a way to hide it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After Xiao Yan passed through the other small forest, the sky finally became extremely dark. He shook his head helplessly as he prepared to find a place to rest. His moving gaze suddenly stopped as he watched the campfire slowly rise in the forest not far from there, like a lamp leading the way in darkness.

"Eh, is there really someone?" Xiao Yan stared blankly at the bonfire. After thinking for some time, he raised his foot and headed to where the campfire was.

As he approached, Xiao Yan could faintly see that five people were sitting beside the bonfire. There were three men and two women, each carrying his own weapon. On their chests was the same badge; it seemed that they were mercenaries of the same company.

When Xiao Yan slowly approached, a middle-aged man beside the fire suddenly turned around. His eyes were fixed to where Xiao Yan was and coldly barked, "Who is that?"

Hearing his shout, the three people beside him pulled out weapons from their waists with clangs while a girl among them who was much younger drew twice before she managed to pull her sword. His face instantly became bright red due to the humiliation.

"Please don't panic. I was just a passerby looking at the campfire and walking. " A young man with a smile appeared from behind a dark and cold tree. In order to prove that he had no ill intentions, he deliberately waved his empty hand.

Looking at the young face of Xiao Yan, the five people clearly relaxed. The middle-aged man would smile and speak when the voice of a spoiled, crisp young lady was voiced from the mouth of the young lady who had difficulty pulling her sword a moment ago. It seemed like he wanted to vent his anger from his embarrassment to Xiao Yan. "Do you not know manners? To secretly enter the domain of another mercenary company; are you trying to eavesdrop on our conversation? "

Accused wrongly for no reason whatsoever, Xiao Yan furrowed his brows and turned his gaze to the girl. From his appearance, he looked younger than Xiao Yan by about a year. Her face, which was reddened by the light of fire, was considered beautiful but her expression was spoiled and unreasonable. Even the tone he used was also extremely disliked.

"Ling Er, don't say such nonsense." Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, the middle-aged man turned his head and reprimanded before facing Xiao Yan once more and smiled, "Brother, are you also a mercenary? Why did you come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone? "

"Ha ha's. I am a doctor. I came alone to look for medicinal ingredients that had been depleted. Unexpectedly, I spent a very long time. " Xiao Yan took out some medicinal herbs from his chest pocket and smiled at this wary middle-aged man.

Oh. The middle-aged man felt a little relieved after listening to Xiao Yan's explanation and carefully observed the medicinal herbs in the latter's hands. He pointed to the bonfire beside him and said uncontrollably, "Why don't you come and sit down. Night is when Magical Beasts are most active. A little dangerous to be alone. "

Gratefully nodding his head, Xiao Yan walked to the side of the fire under the gazes of several people. He sat down and smiled shyly at them.

"Brother, I'm called Ka Gang. As you can see here, ha ha, five star Dou Zhe. " The middle-aged man pointed to the five stars under his mercenary badge and laughed.

"Yao Yan's. I am a doctor and my strength can be considered a two star Dou Zhe. " Xiao Yan blinked his eyes and smiled.

"You have enough courage. Just two stars and you actually dare venture into the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If you don't meet us tonight, I'm afraid you'll become food in the belly of the Magical Beast. " After hearing Xiao Yan's strength, the young girl known as Ling Er immediately laughed in disdain.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly. Based on her character, she naturally ignored him and set her sights on the other woman and the two men. Smiling, he said, "Yao Yan, a two star Dou Zhe."

"Qing Xin, a four star Dou Zhe." The woman wearing the green dress politely smiled at Xiao Yan.

"Mo Shi, four star Dou Zhe. Ha ha, my brother, call me Lion. " A man with a rather strong body gave Xiao Yan an honest smile. TL: Shi -> part of Shi Zi which means Lion

Xiao Yan smiled at the last man and glanced at the young girl who was very pleased with herself. Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to worship this handsome prince. Inside the adoration, there was also a crush on a young girl. It's just expected. The girls who liked her love the most were the knights in armor who had strength and appearance, like Mu Lan.

After a brief introduction between the parties, they began to relax themselves. During the conversation, the middle-aged man known as Ka Gang asked Xiao Yan a few questions related to a doctor naturally. When Xiao Yan answered her perfectly, the last doubt in Ka Gang was removed and some of them started chatting.

Amidst their chatter, Xiao Yan was surprised to find that these people were members of one of the three large mercenary companies, the Bloody Battle Charge Army. It was also said that the young girl named Ling Er was the daughter of one of the upper echelons of the mercenary company. No wonder he was spoiled and senseless. With the strength of the Bloody Battle Mercenary Company, he could really do as he pleased.

After being familiar with each other, Xiao Yan did not forget the reason he had come. Occasionally, he carelessly asked some questions about the news from the Wolf Head Mercenary Company and the current situation in Qingshan City.

As for the question whose answer was no secret, Ka Gang held nothing back. He smiled as he spoke of the current situation of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company and some of their actions.

After hearing the news from Ka Gang's mouth, Xiao Yan finally sighed casually. Luckily, the predictions of the three pay companies working together to capture him did not happen. With his strength now, just the Wolf Head Mercenary Company was not something to be afraid of.

Xiao Yan originally wanted to leave after getting the information he needed but could not resist the enthusiastic invitation from Ka Gang. He finally followed the latter's intentions and spent the night resting at the campground. Of course, as long as he rested, the girl who was ashamed of her mistake repeatedly dug him up. Xiao Yan, however, was lazy to bother him. He entered the tent, lowered his head and slept, angering the young girl to step on his feet.

Xiao Yan comfortably walked out of the camp as the sky slowly brightened. He saw Ka Gang and the others packing up and quickly stepped forward with a smile, intending to help.

"Oh, are you finally awake? We worked hard all night just in case, but you only slept until now. Really young master. " Before he walked, the cold voice of the young girl sounded in the morning air.

Without glancing at the young lady with her hands on her waist, Xiao Yan went ahead to help Ka Gang pack the tent. If he did not spread the impurities of high-level Magic Beasts around the tent, did he really think that the final night would pass so peacefully?

The young girl's eyebrows shot up when she saw Xiao Yan ignore her. If Mu Lan did not hold him back, she would insult him again.

After packing up the tent, Xiao Yan followed the others at close range as they headed in the same direction. Xiao Yan looked at the large street in the distance and involuntarily smiled. At that moment, he started to run away from around there.

Xiao Yan shook his head with a smile. He faced Ka Gang and cupped his hands together and said, "Uncle Ka Gang, we'll split up here. Thank you for the attention you have given me during the trip. " TL: cupping hands – form of greeting used in Chinese

"Yao Yan, didn't you also go to Qingshan City? We're also heading in the same direction. " Seeing that Xiao Yan was intending to leave, the stunned Ka Gang asked.

Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. Although he could choose to ignore the spoiled brat named Ling Er, his mocking voice made him feel irritated. He was not masochistic so he decided that it was better for him to travel alone.

"Hehe, I suddenly remembered that I still had some things to do. I'm afraid I'll have to stop here for half a day. You all have to go first. "

"Come come. Uncle Ka Gang, is it fun to carry that baggage? Two stars, yes. He can't even compare to me. " The spoiled brat quickly stopped Ka Gang just as the latter was about to open his mouth and speak.

Shaking his head helplessly, Ka Gang could only smile apologetically at Xiao Yan and turn around. When he did, he fell silent and said with a frown, "What a pity. We finally met this annoying guy. "

After hearing these words, Xiao Yan, who was about to leave, could not help but turn his gaze to the main road. A group of seven or eight men riding on a single horned horse came galloping. Along the way, everyone hurriedly dodged to the side, afraid of being accidentally injured.

"Who is he?" Observing the leader, a tall thin man riding a single horned horse, Xiao Yan curiously asked.

"Second Company Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, Gan Mu." Ka Gang laughed bitterly, "This guy always vilifies us. Nothing good happens every time we meet him. Moreover, this person is a nine star Dou Zhe, we cannot defeat him. "

"Second Company Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan froze for a moment. A moment later, a smile appeared on his face.

"This guy again. Uncle Ka Gang, let's go quickly! " Looking at the man on the horse galloping, the face of the spoiled young girl turned white as she said in a panicked voice.

Seeing his panicked face, Xiao Yan gently shook his head. Of course, bad people will be tortured by other bad people.

For as long as some people spoke, the tall thin man had already rode. He turned his gaze to Ka Gang and the others and grinned, "Hey, isn't this Ka Gang from the Bloody Battle Mercenary Company? Well, did you manage to obtain something from entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range this time around? " Ka Gang clenched his brows tightly and ignored him.

The skinny man did not mind when he saw Ka Gang remain silent. He turned his gaze towards Ling Er who was trying to hide. He licked his tongue indecently and smiled brightly as he said, "Ling Er is becoming more and more charming. I love young girls like you. Ha ha, it feels so good! You shouldn't be alone in the future, ha ha "

Hearing the lewd laughter of the tall skinny man, Ling Er's body trembled. He hurriedly hid behind Ka Gang's back, not daring to open his mouth to speak.

"Ha ha, I have urgent business today so I won't play with you anymore. Ha ha, the next time we meet, I won't be so good. " After harassing the young girl, the tall skinny man laughed loudly and whipped his horse on horseback and left.

Seeing the tall skinny man leave, Ka Gang and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

However, as the tall skinny man rushed away, an explosion sounded on the side of the road. At the same time, a black figure shot towards the Second Company Leader like a bolt of lightning.

\ A human figure arrives on a horse in an instant. He twisted his body and ruthlessly kicked his right leg into the chin of the tall skinny man. Instantly the latter's body warped in the air and smashed into the ground violently.

"Gurg!" A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out. Before the tall and thin man had time to react, a foot stomped on his chest and the faint laughter of a young man gradually sounded, "Stay here. This will save me from trouble for having to look for you later. "

Everything happened in an instant and Ka Gang and the other faces were involuntarily filled with shock as they saw Gan Mu suddenly appear under one's feet. This was especially the case when their gaze followed the foot that stepped on Gan Mu's body and moved upwards. Their stunned gazes became frozen.
