They all looked to be in their thirties or forties, with rugged appearances, clearly not to be trifled with. They were drinking heavily and boasting that they wouldn't come out of the forest until they had made a great harvest.
This is a mercenary team that is about to enter the Twilight Forest. It seems that the landlady intends to have this team take care of him.
It seems safer to have a mercenary squad looking after you than a single guide.
Being good-looking is always an advantage!
Chris wasn't worried about this. All he needed was a guide to lead him into the forest. The only requirement was that the guide be very familiar with the Twilight Forest so that he could judge the terrain on the map and find the location of the treasure marked on the map more easily.
Soon, the proprietress returned and led him to the mercenary squad.
The leader of this mercenary squad was a burly man with a thick beard. He carefully looked the thin boy up and down, and his brows furrowed involuntarily: "Boss lady, you must be joking. Every time we enter the Twilight Forest, we risk our lives. You should know how dangerous it is to bring a burden along!"
The proprietress smiled and said, "You're all going hunting, and this young man is also looking for prey. Since you have the same goal, why not lend a hand and get some gold coins in return?"
"Besides, this young man's strength may not be that bad."
The burly man with the thick beard snorted coldly, but did not refute. It was certainly a good thing to be able to earn 100 gold coins on the side, but he at least wanted to get to know this young man.
"Kid, if you want us to take you into the Twilight Forest, you should at least show us your strength, right?"
He needed to ascertain the boy's strength; if he was too weak, he would rather forgo the reward than put his team in danger.
This is the responsibility that a team leader must shoulder!
Chris hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his finger and placed it on the table, sliding it slightly with force.
The entire table was cut in half!
He didn't want to reveal his full strength, and this move should be enough to make those people take him seriously.
Sure enough, the coldness on the bearded man's face disappeared, replaced by a hearty smile, and his address immediately changed: "Young brother, you are quite capable. Our team will take on this mission."
This young man is at least a formal knight, no weaker than anyone in their squad. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, protecting him should be relatively easy. It seems that all he really needs is a guide!
Moreover, it's not difficult to help this boy find a suitable hunting target and complete the hunting mission.
The proprietress beamed with joy upon seeing the deal completed.
Chris breathed a sigh of relief. Entering with a mercenary team that had been operating in the Twilight Forest for many years would be safer and would also allow him to familiarize himself with this magical forest as quickly as possible.
It will be easier to find that treasure site.

For several days in a row, Su Qing was recuperating. The scales on her body that had been injured had regrowed, and the wounds had completely healed.
He instructed Little Mary and Old Sam to manage the territory's affairs together while he was away, and to discuss any unresolved matters when he returned.
Having arranged everything, Su Qing did not linger in the castle, but flapped her wings and flew towards the Twilight Forest.
Objective 1: Gather cultivation resources!
Objective 2: Eliminate dangerous monsters; mark those that cannot be eliminated.
Objective 3: Capture a group of magical beasts with strong reproductive capabilities and bloodlines, such as the Four-Horned Demon Wolf.
With a plan in mind, Su Qing was filled with anticipation for this trip.
I hope the results will satisfy me!
