After identifying the target, the skinny man calmed himself down and was about to open his mouth, when he heard Qing Lei calmly move a few branches forward. He said unhurriedly: "Everyone, it's been hard on you guys. Since you guys are so loyal, why don't you all go down and serve your fourth boss?"
Just as the thin man was about to counterattack, he heard a miserable cry come from behind him. When he turned around to look, he saw a fist-sized marten had circled to the back, and after one or two jumps, three or four of the mercenaries fell from the tree trunk smelling of rotting flesh.
The remaining five mercenaries stared with wide eyes at their dead comrades. Before they could regain their senses, they heard a cold voice say, "Remember, never leave your back to an enemy. Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to understand!"
"Floating Cloud Slash!"
With a loud shout, a blue light flashed by. The five of them turned their heads to look in the direction the light blue energy came from. After the thick and solid trees touched the light, they instantly fell to the ground with a "ka bai" sound.
Thinking about how Tia Mo had also been cut into human sticks by the blue energy, the mercenaries became even more terrified. Their bodies trembled non-stop and they couldn't even get their feet out.
After the blue energy passed through the thin man's body, it passed through the remaining four mercenaries. The mercenaries looked down at the energy that had passed through their bodies and saw bright red blood spurting out from the wound.
After greeting the little guy, Qing Lei turned around and headed deeper into the forest. Qing Lei clenched his fists tightly, and said with a joyful voice: "To be able to split the mountain, to be able to cut the water apart, the Floating Cloud Slash's power is indeed extraordinary, I am really anticipating the last two cuts of the Prison Breaking Slash!"
"Brat, as compared to this, you should hurry up and find a place to cultivate. You have to know that once this Special Rank Killing Order is given, all of the Labor Union of Mercenary in the entire continent will have the right to chase and kill you. The real storm is yet to come!"
Qing Lei nodded and turned to look at the little guy. Only then did he realize that the little guy was shaking. The situation was just like a human's twitch. Qing Lei started to worry.
"Kid, Kid, what happened to you?"
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The little fellow replied powerlessly. From its expression, it seemed to be in extreme pain.
"Stop shouting, this gluttonous monster ate a Class 4 Magical Crystal in one go. It seems like it's about to break through. Hurry up and find a place with water for it or it will be tortured to death by the fire energy!"
Hearing that the little guy was about to break through the Fighting Infant realm, Qing Lei felt a burst of joy in his heart. His feet moved, and his body immediately flew straight ahead, all the way until he reached the top of the tree.
The little guy's cries became weaker and weaker. Qing Lei was anxious, the moment he realized that there was no water source, he had to hurry up and continue moving forward. Unknowingly, he had entered the Devil Beast of Rank Six's territory and finally found a water source.
Without thinking, Qing Lei went straight to the water source.
The sound of running water became louder and closer, and the little guy immediately pricked up his ears, chirping non-stop. Qing Lei thought that the little guy was happily crying out and didn't pay it any attention as he sped up his pace. In the blink of an eye, a huge waterfall appeared in front of him.
The waterfall was over a hundred zhang wide, and its height was over a hundred zhang high. Directly beneath the waterfall was a cold pond at the bottom of which one could see the bottom.
"Little guy, quickly go into the water!" Qing Lei urged the little guy to go into the water gratefully, but the little guy kept chirping non-stop on his shoulder. Qing Lei urged the little guy to go into the water gratefully, but the little guy kept chirping non-stop on his shoulder.
"No way, are you a landlubber?" According to common sense, the closer one was to the water source, the more devil beast there should be. However, after Qing Lei checked, this water source had a radius of dozens of meters but could not even find the shadow of a devil beast.
The only possibility was that there was still some powerful devil beast hiding in the cold pond. Thinking to this point, Qing Lei subconsciously retreated a few steps, after all, this was the territory of the Devil Beast of Rank Six, which meant that they had the strength of Fighting Master. That kind of terrifying existence was not something he could withstand.
"Gluttonous ghost, you're almost unable to take it. Get in the water, hurry up and bring it in!" The old man seemed to like this little fellow and reminded him urgently.
Qing Lei took a glance at the little guy, which was constantly humming and trembling. He stared at his little guy with tears in his eyes. Qing Lei ran to the cold pond and jumped down with the little guy without saying a word.
Accompanied by a splash, the entire cold pond started to shake. The little guy perked up his ears and quickly ran over to Qing Lei's shoulder.
Not long after, Qing Lei noticed that half of the bottom of the cold pond seemed to be about to crack open on its own, and the mud at the bottom of the pond also started to shake. Qing Lei hurriedly swam to the shore, but he couldn't move his body at all.
The little guy was so anxious that it kept calling out to him. As he looked around, a bunch of lightning shot out from his forehead straight into the cold pond.
"AHH@@
The little guy realized that he made a mistake and quickly turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Qing Lei.
What made Qing Lei overjoyed was that the tentacles at the bottom of the pool also received an electric shock and immediately retracted back. Only then did Qing Lei withdraw back to the shore.
A man and a marten were closely watching the changes in the cold pond. It was unknown when a water pillar had appeared in the pond, but when the water pillar reached its highest point, seven to eight slender tentacles quietly emerged from the edge of the pond, moving towards Qing Lei's direction.
Just when Qing Lei wanted to dodge, he saw a golden light shoot out from the north side of his body. As soon as the golden light left his body, it flew straight to the water pillar. The moment the golden light disappeared into the water pillar, a painful wail came from the water pillar, and the tentacles on the ground also stopped.
At the same time the water column fell, the devil beast at the bottom of the pool also appeared. Qing Lei looked closely and saw that it was a Stage Seven devil beast, Ghost Foot Octopus!
The little guy jumped into the water, jumped up and down, swam around, and started playing in the water. He seemed to have had enough fun, as he dived into the cold pond and disappeared.
Qing Lei was secretly surprised, this old guy was really secretive!
That was the strength of a seventh tier devil beast, the Dou Ling class. Even an elite Dou Zong would not dare to face them head on!
But this old fellow had used a single move, and he had only used a single move to kill a seventh stage devil beast.
Just how strong was he?!
