Three in the morning was the darkest time of night before dawn.

Two small mercenary squads that were dressed in light armor sneaked out of the mercenary camp in the darkness. These people were dressed in black clothing with their entire faces covered and only their eyes exposed. The squad dragged two boxes that were about half a story high as they hurriedly ran out.

Using the tall grasses as cover, the group softly sneaked to the rear of the camps of the large mercenary camps. According to the layout, the west was the combined camps of Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack. The east was Flying Aspara Mercenary Company's camp, and the other small mercenary companies were between the two major camps.

Yesterday night, Crimson Forge, Wolf Pace and Flying Aspara Mercenary Companies gathered their scattered troops to the two sides of the gates to avoid chaos when the time came. This was a grand bet concerning two sacred beasts.

"Elder Luo Xi, let us split up here to act. We will go to Crimson Forge, and you will go to the camp at our rear. If we can cause a large number of people from Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack to be killed, your status in Flying Aspara Mercenary Company will become more solidified," a deep male voice said. This was the young captain of Flying Aspara Mercenary Company, Ba Tuke.

Elder Luo Xi, dressed in yellow robes, nodded with a serious expression. "Young Master, we will not have any problems on our end. This old man will personally keep watch. I believe that not even a fly can fly in. But you have to be careful on your end. The scent of the giant dragon excrement and Sidian Pollen is unique. Do not let any get out. If they learn of this prematurely, we will have wasted all of our efforts ,and will be pursued relentlessly by Crimson Forge and Wolf Pack. Tomorrow, during the siege, we will send people to burn the boxes. Just a little fire will spread the scent, and then it will be too late even if they discover this."

Because they were afraid people would discover their actions, Ba Erbo didn't want to even delay one minute. He said, "No problem, Elder, we're going ... ..."

When he said this, noise suddenly sounded in the nearby grasses!

Someone was there!

This shock was a significant one. The minds of Ba Erbo and the rest of the group blanked. Their hairs stood on end as though they had been shocked by electricity. Anyone who found someone stumbling onto their conspiracy would feel some fear.

Elder Luo Xi was the fastest to react. He shouted with a dark expression, "Who! Come out!" Before he finished, the old man dashed forward. That person seemed to want to flee but could not match the speed of a spirit magister. They didn't manage a few steps when the old person's withered fingers accurately grabbed onto a collar. That person made an "ah" sound and then fell to the ground surrounded by a group of males dressed in black.

"Hm, Young Captain, it's a woman!"

Ba Erbo and Elder Luo Xi stilled when they heard this. Seeing that it was a harmless-looking woman rather than Rong Luo and the other experts, they sighed in relief.

"This probably is a straggler from a small adventurer group. Tsk tsk, pretty." A black-clothed male that was close looked over and sighed in amazement.

Ba Erbo heard this and also looked over. His eyes immediately lit up.

The young female was clothed in a tight robe. She was beautiful, with jade-like skin that could be seen clearly even in the night, a pair of deep eyes that were bright and glittering. Her features seemed to be flawless as though they had been carved by an artist. The tight clothes emphasized the female's demonically seductive figure. The leather short dress stopped just below the thigh. A pair of snowy-white legs were exposed. The group of males almost turned into wolves. If they didn't have something important they had to complete, they would be fighting to be first.
