Chapter 868 Gnashing Teeth

"Ah?" Luo Li touched her nose. "I just passed by yesterday and saw that there were a lot of people here, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you guys are here too."

Wen Xingyan's smile was a little forced, and his usually gentle and polite voice now sounded a little bit gritted, "Ah, just passing by."

He gritted his teeth in his heart, my goodness, if they hadn't met here by chance, this girl would not have come to find them, right?

And Xie Shiyuan, it's been over a month, and this girl hasn't thought of telling them about Luo Li's news?!

Are we still friends after all?

Xuan Mu's emotions were revealed. "Wow, you were just passing by. If you didn't meet us this time, are you going to wait until we meet again by chance?"

Wen Xingyan glanced subtly at Luo Li, who was pretending to look at the scenery. The latter felt his gaze, coughed dryly, and pulled the corners of her mouth awkwardly.

Luo Li laughed awkwardly, "To be honest, I was just about to go to the God of War Territory."

Wen Xingyan was happy. Xuan Mu looked at him leisurely, "So you are planning to go to my Eclipse Territory one last time?"

Luo Li coughed lightly, "Don't worry about so many details."

As soon as he finished speaking, a subtle smile seemed to fill the air.

The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling around the four people and adding a touch of softness to the somewhat eerie atmosphere.

The corners of Wen Xingyan's mouth inadvertently rose slightly, and his eyes flashed with a hint of teasing and relief.

Xuan Mu feigned dissatisfaction while grumbling, but he could not hide the smile in his eyes. He reached out and gently patted Luo Li's shoulder, "I was just kidding."

Luo Li's awkward smile gradually became sincere. Xuan Mu scratched his head and looked into the distance.

Suddenly thinking of something, he said, "You came here by yourself?"

Luo Li nodded, then shook her head, "I came here on my own at first, and later I met the people from the Dragon Rider Mercenary Group here."

Xuan Huanmu pursed his lips and said, "It's hard for a small mercenary group like Hunshuilong to understand this trip. Luo Li, follow us."

Luo Li shook her head helplessly, "It's too conspicuous to follow you guys, so forget it."

Xuan Mu frowned slightly when he heard this. He was about to persuade her again, but he saw Luo Li gently waved her hand, with determination flashing in her eyes.

Wen Xingyan's brows furrowed slightly. "It's said that the beast carrying the ancient god's legacy this time is about to break through to the peak of the Lord. The Dragon Riders are just a small, unknown mercenary group. Ah Li, you should persuade them to go back."

Hearing this, Luo Li frowned slightly, "Is the information accurate?"

Wen Xingyan nodded, "That's correct, otherwise Xuan Mu and I wouldn't have come here in person."

Luo Li stood in the woods, her eyes passing through the sparse treetops and falling on the busy figures - Pei Su and Pei Xia were bending over to check their equipment, with hearty smiles on their faces.

All around, the roar of monsters occasionally sounded, making people feel uneasy.

Luo Li sighed softly, and her resolute eyes were filled with a bit of complicated and indescribable emotions.

If the news is indeed as the two said, then the Dragon Rider Mercenary Group is indeed not suitable to go any further.

She raised her eyes and smiled, "Do you mind if I tell them this news?"

Xuan Mu raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Whatever makes you happy."

"Okay, then you guys go back first."

She was about to leave when Xuan Mu grabbed her sleeve, his usually cold eyes brimming with smiles. "Voice Stone."

Luo Li had no choice but to take out the sound transmission stone, and the two of them injected their own power into it at a moment of stealth.

Then he waved his hand with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead, we are in the camp."

Luo Li smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked lightly through the path covered with fallen leaves. She approached Pei Su and Pei Xia, who were concentrating on adjusting the daggers on their belts with their heads down, and were completely unaware of her arrival.

Luo Li opened her red lips slightly, her voice gentle but with an undeniable firmness: "Captain Pei, Pei Xia, there are some situations you need to be aware of. This situation may be more difficult than you expected. For everyone's safety, you may want to consider abandoning this mission."

After saying this, she waited quietly, and the breeze in the forest seemed to be frozen at this moment.

Pei Su frowned, "Miss Luo, have you received any news?"

Luo Li briefly told them the news she got from Xuan Mu and the others.

Pei Su was shocked. "A peak lord-level monster?"

Luo Li nodded, "That's right."

Pei Xia also frowned tightly, "Father, this is a peak-level lord-level monster. We dragon riders are really not suitable to participate."

A peak lord-level magical beast, coupled with the inheritance of the ancient gods, who knows how chaotic the situation will become.

The forest was filled with dappled light and shadows, and Luo Li's words were like a stone falling into a quiet lake, stirring up ripples.

Pei Su's eyes jumped between the shadows of the trees, as if he could foresee the coming storm.

After a moment, Pei Su shook his head. "The commission we accepted doesn't require us to face the monster directly. The mercenary group rarely receives commissions with such high rewards."

Pei Xia bit her lip and said, "That's right, but Father, we'll just follow behind."

A smile appeared on Pei Su's dignified face. "Don't worry, Xiaoxia. I won't let the brothers of the mercenary group make fearless sacrifices."

Pei Xia nodded gently and smiled, "Okay."

Luo Li also nodded, "I have already told you the news, and whatever decision you make will not affect me."

Pei Xia smiled and said, "Then are you going to go find your friends?"

Luo Li shook her head. "They're too conspicuous. I'll just follow you. When your commission is completed, I'll go find them."

Pei Su nodded solemnly, "Okay, thank you for telling us this news, but Miss Luo, are you sure you still want to follow us?"

Judging from what she said, her friends must not be unknown people. In any case, it seems that there is no benefit in following them, unless, as she said, her friends are too conspicuous.

As expected, Luo Li confirmed: "Yes, you don't have to worry about me."

Pei Su sighed. Perhaps Miss Luo was a descendant of that big family who came out to gain experience.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Miss Luo to follow us."

Luo Li noticed his change and didn't know what he was guessing, but she didn't say anything else.

She and Pei Xia chatted for a few more words. In the evening, when the sun was setting, Luo Li looked at the sky, got up and went to find Xuan Mu and Wen Xingyan.

In fact, the two of them didn't even enter the camp. They saw Luo Li coming from afar and strode towards her.

"Are they leaving?"

If the Dragon Rider Mercenaries leave, Ari will have to follow them, hehe.

Luo Li shook her head, "They have accepted the commission and will not leave."

The two felt a little sorry, "Okay."

Luo Li glanced at the two of them and said, "Let's go in and talk. What are you standing here for?"
