The three elders, who had lost their voice, could only stay where they were, constantly rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, anxiously waiting for the grand elder to continue calling for help. However, when they waited, the cries for help did not come again, and all the mercenaries began to discuss in whispers about the possibility that the grand elder had been killed.
Thinking about this, the three great elders all felt a wave of guilt, and under the pressure of helplessness, they could only order the mercenaries to yell out into the darkness. They hoped that Qing Lei, after hearing Han's words, would be worried about his situation and would be able to keep the grand elder's life as a bargaining chip.
"Kid, we already know where you are now, so we are the ones who were ordered to chase after you. As long as you let go of the Great Clan Elder's life, we still have room for discussion.
"Puppet? Be responsible for the consequences? What a joke, do you really think you have the chance to leave once you enter this Misty Jungle? You can't even protect yourselves, and you still dare to talk big? From the moment the people from Labor Union of Mercenary were discovered, Qing Lei had wanted to kill. Tonight was the last time these people would be forever lost in the darkness.
Qing Lei made a hand gesture and the Lightning Mink that was hiding in the distance immediately climbed onto Qing Lei's shoulder to watch the show. The man and the marten quickly glided towards the thick black fog.
After a few quick leaps, the two arrived directly above the tree that the three elders were staying at. A strand of Soul Power followed along the tree and came down, and they were able to clearly feel the situation underground. Other than the three elders, there was a group of mercenaries under a tree not too far away.
Judging from the distance, the mercenaries were still quite a distance away from the three elders. This gave Qing Lei a chance to make his move.
With the Nether Sky Qi around his body, Qing Lei immediately lowered his head. His feet suddenly grabbed onto the trunk of Qiao Mu and began to slide down bit by bit until his hands stopped a few meters above the heads of the three elders. Then, he stabilized his body and used the Nether Sky Qi to strike at the three elders under Qiao Mu's tree.
The three elders could not feel Qing Lei's existence at all because they were not as strong as Qing Lei in terms of strength and Soul Power. However, a slight vibration of energy could still attract their attention.
The three elders jumped back at the same time, barely dodging the fatal attack, and this also hit the snare of Qing Lei. If the three elders were to join hands, it might make Qing Lei a little afraid, but once they separated, they would immediately become meat on the chopping board, allowing Qing Lei to take advantage of them.
Having roughly seen the direction the three elders split up, Qing Lei relaxed his legs at the same time and his body slid down to Qiao Mu's level. He bent his body slightly and stomped on the ground at the same time.
The three elders immediately lost themselves in the darkness as soon as they separated. They watched the changes and the flow of energy closely with some uneasiness. The warrior power in their bodies was also released outside their bodies, surrounding them tightly to avoid being hit by Qing Lei's killing move.
After wandering around for a long time, the three elders did not discover anything. They even thought that Qing Lei lost his way, which was why they were not able to find him. Thinking about it like this, the three elders still felt a bit more comforted.
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the three elders were still not attacked, which made them even more determined to avoid the attack. Just as they were still full of joy, they heard the sound of a short fight coming from the distant jungle.
The three elders felt that it was very strange, but after thinking about it carefully, they finally understood that Qing Lei did not act against them immediately, but instead, went to take care of the 20 mercenaries they brought with them. As expected, not long after, the frightened screams, cries, and even the sounds of kneeling down and begging for forgiveness could be heard.
