Boom! In the forest!Violent energy fluctuations erupted behind them, and a terrifying wind vortex soared upwards.The Hurricane Mercenary Group members, seeing this, their eyes immediately turned red, and they cried out sorrowfully:“Group Leader!!!”They knew this must have been their Group Leader making a desperate strike for their sake.Li Qi stood among the crowd, a trace of worry in his eyes.Will he make it in time?Then, the next second, Li Qi seemed to sense something and let out a long sigh of relief.“Master, can you save Group Leader Feng?”Li Qi quietly asked.“Hard to say, I’ll do my best,” Qin Tian’s calm voice resounded in his mind.“Yes.”Li Qi looked at the sorrowful people around him and decided not to reveal the news that his Master had come to support them for now. If Feng Mocuan couldn’t be saved, wouldn’t that be a false hope, causing them even greater Strike?Just then, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Li Qi’s heart. He abruptly turned his head to look. There, the Night Demon King’s aura was exceptionally profound. Not only that, but a similar aura suddenly formed, then rapidly grew stronger.What’s going on?Li Qi was utterly bewildered. Did his Master get a new “doggo”?At that moment, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. Originally, his Master “doted” on him alone, but now there was another competitor, and their strength was even greater than his. How did it feel like he had dug his own grave this time?Li Qi pursed his lips, feeling a little regretful.“Feng Mocuan, from now on, I’ll call you Old Mo,” Qin Tian said.“Alright, Old Mo sounds good too.”Feng Mocuan laughed freely.Qin Tian: “You don’t have to call me Master anymore, just call me Boss.”As a young man educated in modern times, he was not accustomed to being called Master; it always felt strange.“Okay, Boss.”Feng Mocuan’s smile widened. The title of Boss carried no burden for him; after all, mercenaries worked for money, and they always called their benefactors “Boss.”“Old Mo, how did you get poisoned and injured?” Qin Tian asked.Upon hearing this, Feng Mocuan’s expression darkened, and he said in a low voice:“I was poisoned by someone I trusted beside me. He had been with me for seven or eight years. I never expected him to be turned by the Dark Elves.”“It wasn’t the Dark Elves,” Qin Tian slowly said.What?Feng Mocuan’s body trembled, and he quickly asked, “Boss, you mean—“It was the Volcano Mercenary Group.”A faint light flickered in Qin Tian’s eyes. He recounted to Feng Mocuan the content of Huo Lianshan’s conversation he had just overheard. After listening, Feng Mocuan was furious.“My Hurricane Mercenary Group has always kept to ourselves with their Volcano Mercenary Group, avoiding them whenever possible. That bastard Huo Lianshan actually dared to stab me in the back! Damn you, Volcano Mercenary Group, Huo Lianshan, just you wait!!!”Feng Mocuan’s eyes turned red with anger, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him.He had almost died just now, and three brothers who had followed him for over a decade had died before him.And all of this was caused by the Volcano Mercenary Group.If he didn’t avenge this, he swore he wouldn’t be human!“Of course, this revenge must be exacted, but Old Mo, do you think the Volcano Mercenary Group might be colluding with the Dark Elves?” Qin Tian calmly asked.Feng Mocuan was poisoned, and the Dark Elves arrived immediately after.It looked suspicious no matter how you viewed it.Feng Mocuan calmed himself down slightly, thought for a moment, and said:“Hard to say, but I think it’s possible.”“Hmm, Old Mo, for now, don’t make a move. Your main task is to monitor the Volcano Mercenary Group. I want to see what Huo Lianshan intends to do at the ‘critical moment’ he spoke of,” Qin Tian slowly said.Currently, the Volcano Mercenary Group is at least outwardly an important aid to the Elves, fighting their enemies.If they were to be moved against, human Spiritual Energy Users would inevitably become restless.But if the Volcano Mercenary Group dared to show their true colors, eliminating them would instead be a great achievement.“Yes, Boss.”A crimson light flashed in Feng Mocuan’s eyes. After obtaining the Night Demon Bloodline, his demeanor gained a touch of coldness.Previously, it would have been difficult for him to monitor Huo Lianshan and the Volcano Mercenary Group without being discovered, but now, this task was effortless for him.The Night Demon Blood not only brought about a comprehensive physical metamorphosis—unbelievable growth in strength, speed, agility, stamina, and senses—but he also awakened numerous abilities. Although he hadn't used them yet, the sense of control over darkness and shadows was undeniable.He had a feeling that with a mere thought, he could disappear into the shadows beneath his feet and move stealthily, leaving no trace.“Now it’s time to meet your members. Also, there’s someone you need to reacquaint yourself with.”Qin Tian grabbed Feng Mocuan’s shoulder, and then the Black Gate opened. The two stepped inside.“Let’s stop here.”Xu Ze, the Vice Group Leader of the Hurricane Mercenary Group, raised his hand, catching his breath, and said, “It’s safe here.”The place they were currently in was very close to the Elven front-line base. Given the Dark Elves’ style, they wouldn’t delve so deeply.Everyone stopped, adjusted their breathing, and then, sorrow and grief appeared on each person’s face.“I will avenge our Group Leader!”A young man with short hair gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with hatred: “That traitor Duan Zheng, I’ll tear him to pieces.”Upon mentioning Duan Zheng, everyone present was filled with rage.It was he who poisoned their Group Leader and fled before the incident.“You don’t need to avenge him; I will personally take this revenge.”Just then, a familiar voice came from their ears.Everyone’s bodies trembled, and they immediately looked in the direction of the sound.They saw two figures appear on a branch above them. One was indeed their Group Leader, Feng Mocuan, and the other was also familiar: the Grim Reaper Sniper, Qin Tian.“Group Leader!!!”Everyone’s eyes widened, their voices filled with surprise and disbelief.Didn’t the Group Leader almost... for us just now? How is he standing safely before us now?Feng Mocuan lightly leaped, landing steadily on the ground. He looked at everyone, a smile on his face:“I’m fine now. It was Old—Qin Tian who saved me and removed the poison from my body.”Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, excitedly shouting:“That’s great, Group Leader! We almost thought we’d lost you forever.”“Brother Qin Tian, thank you, thank you for saving our Group Leader.”“You are a great benefactor to our Hurricane Mercenary Group. From now on, whether it’s climbing a mountain of knives or plunging into a sea of fire, I, Wang Dayong, will not hesitate to die ten thousand times.”“Me too!”Listening to these sincere thanks, Qin Tian also felt Feng Mocuan’s personal charisma. Perhaps someone with his personality might easily misplace trust, but at the same time, he would also have a group of loyal brothers by his side.In this regard, Li Qi and Feng Mocuan were «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» completely different.Li Qi came from an assassin organization. Besides himself, he would never trust anyone unreservedly. This vigilance made it difficult for him to encounter betrayal, but he also wouldn’t make true friends.However, it was precisely this difference that would lead the two to undertake different tasks in the future.Li Qi’s role was to be the head of an intelligence and assassination agency, while Feng Mocuan would remain a mercenary group leader, gradually developing into a larger-scale private armed force in the future.Thinking of this, Qin Tian turned to look for Li Qi but found Li Qi and Feng Mocuan staring at each other, sparks seemingly flying where their gazes met.
