The sky was slightly gloomy and the dawn sky was foggy. Rustling sounded in the forest. This was a good time to hunt the fog wolves.

The eight-star magic beast fog wolves packs were rarely seen high level magic beasts this close to the forest perimeter. Their hide, teeth, claws, and crystal cores were all treasures. Many mercenaries and adventurers would rise early to hunt in foggy weather like this, so much so that days like today were called a day of getting rich. This was much safer than going deep into the Great Forest of Neversetting Sun.

Aofeng opened her eyes and saw a mercenary squad under the tree. Coincidentally, there was a large group of fog wolves under her feet. But the tree was tall, and the fog was heavy so no one noticed her.

Ben Lei and Liao Ya had been standing guard the entire night. This group of fog wolves weren't even an appetizer for them and couldn't pose a threat to Aofeng so they did not warn her. When Aofeng woke up, the mercenaries had just started fighting. Shouts and calls rang out in the surroundings. It appeared to be a large mercenary company.

"Xiao Bing, partial armorization" Softly reciting the Magus Divinity Spell, the snowy-white ice mouse mask appeared on the top half of her face. Aofeng released a dozen invisible ice mice down the tree to observe. Through the little ice mice, she saw everything in the surroundings immediately.

The battle below was intense. The grey-eyed fog wolves were not large in size but light in movement. Hidden in the fog, if one wasn't careful, the fog wolves could make a successful ambush. The mercenary company were good fighters. Each member had strength of at least seven-stars. This kind of skill could compare to Crimson Forge. Not even fifteen minutes later, the fog wolf corpses covered the ground.

When she observed closely, Aofeng noticed that there was the symbol of a wolf head on the shoulders of many people. She realized, so this was the second-ranked mercenary company on the continent, Wolf Pack Mercenary Company. Some people did not have insignias. This group must be a mixture of people.

The ice mice searched for a while and quickly found the center of the squad.

Unexpectedly, the leaders were two young females. They appeared to be in their twenties and were shouting excitedly. One was a four-star senior swordsman, the other a five-star senior magister. They dressed in light leather armor that emphasized the curves of their body and attracted the heated gaze of males in the surroundings.

"Quick, kill them! You waste so much time on a pack of fog wolves, Little Sister Li Sha will laugh at you!" the five-sword senior magister shouted.

The four-star senior swordsman Li Sha cut off the head of a fog wolves about to make a sneak attack and shouted, "You people too. Is Father feeding wastes of food? Lu Lan and I are fighting as well and you are still lazing about? This miss does not want useless people as guards!"

The tone of the two females were slightly spoiled and arrogant. While their strength was acceptable, they were greenhorns that did not frequently fight. In times of danger, if the middle-aged man next to them wielding a broadsword didn't act, they would have been injured a long time ago. The well-built and bearded man had three deep scars on his face. Aofeng recognized this person. This was the vice captain of Wolf Pack Mercenary Company, Qiu Ran.

It seemed all three big mercenary companies all came to the City of Neversetting Sun to participate in the magic beast siege after Qin City. Many would recognize her. Aofeng pondered this and decided to temporarily wear a mask. Before she learned of what the Qin Family was doing, she did not want to expose herself prematurely.
