Many mercenary teams participated in the escort mission this time.
The Dragon Tooth Mercenary Squad was one of them and was placed on the left of the caravan to guard.
On the right side, carrying out the escort task is another Profound-level mercenary squad, the Autumn Rain Mercenary Squad.
The leader of the Autumn Rain Mercenary Squad, Hua Manqiu, and the deputy captain Hua Ruoyu is a pair of brother and sister with extremely high talents, and they are both Profound-rank powerhouses.
Originally, they came to Cloud Mist City, also for the task of Profound-rank monster.
Only after seeing the escort mission in the mission hall, they made a temporary conscious decision and decided to take over the mission.
A Profound-rank trial crystal can easily give a mercenary team an extra Profound-rank powerhouse.
This is a huge improvement for a mercenary team.
This mission should be comparable to the task of hunting a Profound-rank monster, and the reward is much higher.
"Brother, what do you think the escort will be this time, something that can actually make the employer to spend a lot of money to hire two Profound-rank mercenary teams shouldn't be unknown." Hua Ruoyu rode her horse, rode to Hua Manqiu's side, and asked curiously.
The delicate appearance with bright eyes and white teeth was not like a mercenary who has experienced many battles, but like a noble lady who is traveling.
Only the light armor on Hua Ruoyu's body proved her identity.
"Don't ask for things you shouldn't know, you should know this very well after being a mercenary for so long." Hua Manqiu pointed to the carriage in front of him.
There sits their employer.
"I'm just guessing, It shouldn't be a big deal." Hua Ruoyu pouted.
"It's best not to guess, this time the employer is different from the previous one, except for the one that confirmed our identity, we haven't seen anyone since then."
Hua Manqiu pointed to the baggage piled up on the carriage beside him.
Then slowly said: "He doesn't even want us to know his identity, so how can he let us know what he wants to escort."
As long as the reward is generous, these mercenaries don't care what the employer wants to escort.
Hu Shou, who was walking behind the caravan, was getting farther and farther away from the Cloud Mist City, gradually the Cloud Mist City couldn't be seen anymore. He took out a Pet Card from his pocket.
With a flash of white light, a Water Spirit Artic Fox appeared in Hu Shou's hands, and then quickly climbed onto his shoulders.
"It's up to you whether or not my task can be completed successfully.."
Hu Shou touched the head of the Water Spirit Artic Fox.
This Water Spirit Artic Fox was an accidental gain when the Hu Shou vigorously cultivated the Earth Demon Bear. After awakening, it activated a skill called "danger premonition".
Although there was no substantial increase in its combat effectiveness, it can greatly enhance the perception of upcoming dangers.
Mainly used to prevent premeditated ambushes.
It is useless in normal times, but it is a rare and powerful skill for this kind of escort mission.
The Water Spirit Artic Fox stood on Hu Shou's shoulders, his nose moved slightly as if he was smelling something in the air.
"They won't be too close to the Cloud Mist City, even if they wish to ambush."
Seeing that the Water Spirit Artic fox had no warning for him, Hu Shou relaxed a little.
It is very tiring to keep your guard up 24x7.
From Cloud Mist City to Rock Calm City, about one-third of the journey is through the cloud forest.
After walking out of the cloud forest, the remaining journey is through the desert in the territory of the ancient Luo Empire.
