Chapter 65 The Escort Mission of the Hunting Squad.
"Speak, what's the mission?"
Yu Xiaolie returned to his team.
A barrel of wine, having lost its support, crashed heavily to the ground.
Yu Xiaolie sat back down in his seat, his gaze fixed on the man opposite him.
This man was a bit overweight and looked quite old.
His well-tailored suit and the jade thumb ring on his hand both revealed that this man was very wealthy.
The sound of Yu Xiaolie's wine barrel hitting the ground was quite loud, causing the man's body to tremble.
However, the man quickly regained his composure, looked at Yu Xiaolie and the other team members, and slowly spoke.
"Help me escort something through the forest to the other side, where a contact will be waiting for you."
"This amount will be paid after the matter is completed."
The man slowly extended one finger.
Clearly, this man was the wealthy patron who had come to them after hearing about the Red Guards' reputation.
"One thousand gold soul coins?"
Chu Huaizhou shook his head. "Crossing this forest will be quite difficult."
"No, it's ten thousand."
The sponsor calmly stated, "If you can arrive within eight days, the bonus will be doubled."
"However, I will pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the balance after I arrive."
"Gurgle!"
The patron's calm tone betrayed his immense wealth and power.
Such a price made everyone present swallow hard.
Even Chu Huaizhou, the team leader, was shocked.
Ten thousand gold soul coins!
You should know that for an ordinary family, a month's living expenses are about one gold soul coin.
These ten thousand gold soul coins are not an exaggeration.
That's enough for them to live a life of luxury and pleasure for several years.
If you divide it up, each person can get a thousand gold soul coins.
Not to mention, the goods arrive within eight days, and the price doubles.
"Xiao Lie".
Chu Huaizhou looked at Yu Xiaolie beside him with a somewhat shocked expression.
The other team members also stared intently at Yu Xiaolie.
However, their expressions showed more greed than those of their captain, Chu Huaizhou.
The temptation of 10,000 gold soul coins is simply too great.
However, everyone's attention is now focused on Yu Xiaolie.
Yu Xiaolie is now the vice-captain of this squad.
Of course, they are also one of the team's main combat forces.
Don't underestimate Yu Xiaolie just because he only has level 39 soul power right now.
If it were a real battle, and a fight broke out...
Yu Xiaolie's strength is far more effective than that of the Soul Master in the team, or even the team leader, who is a Soul King.
Whenever Chu Huaizhou was on a mission and saw Yu Xiaolie going on a killing spree, he would secretly feel fortunate that he had met this young man.
Feeling the gazes of those around him, Yu Xiaolie nodded slightly.
Ten thousand gold soul coins is indeed a lot.
"Okay! We'll take this task."
Seeing Yu Xiaolie nod, Chu Huaizhou immediately spoke.
"Okay, I hope you have the ability."
As the sponsor spoke, he placed a box directly on the table.
At the same time, he slammed a box heavily onto the table.
"Bang!"
The heavy sound drew the attention of many people nearby.
How much money must be inside such a heavy box?
Many people showed greedy expressions, but no one dared to step forward.
Putting aside the fact that they broke the rules, the few people scattered around the tavern alone meant they had no chance of getting anything out of this small team.
The other team members were all very excited.
There are a full 5,000 gold soul coins in here!
Yu Xiaolie, however, remained unmoved and simply drank his wine in silence.
After a few drinks, Yu Xiaolie finally accepted the small wooden box that his sugar daddy was pushing towards him.
This is a rather plain-looking wooden box, made of very simple materials, about the size of an arm.
Yu Xiaolie put the box away.
He didn't care what could be worth 20,000 gold soul coins.
"Set off."
Yu Xiaolie drank one last glass of wine and stood up.
As for the box full of deposits, Chu Huaizhou put it away.
With the two speaking, the team officially set off towards the frozen forest.
They hadn't gone far when a man, noticeably thinner than the others, approached Yu Xiaolie and asked curiously:
"Vice Captain, I heard your martial soul is the Frost Sacred Dragon?"
"Furthermore, I heard that your soul power has been stuck at level 39 for a long time?"
Yu Xiaolie glanced at the man indifferently.
This is a new member of the team, named Haote.
Having just joined the team, he was clearly full of curiosity about Yu Xiaolie.
However, Yu Xiaolie ignored him.
In fact, Yu Xiaolie's soul power had already reached level 40.
However, he has never obtained his fourth spirit ring.
Since his first awakened form was the Frost Holy Dragon, this icy and snowy landscape served as a kind of simulated environment for him.
It's equivalent to being an ice-attribute Soul Master who cultivates in the icy and snowy world.
Improving one's soul power naturally leads to achieving twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, Yu Xiaolie's cultivation speed is actually much faster than before.
However, Yu Xiaolie's plan for his next soul ring was to acquire a different attribute, so he remained at the Soul Master level.
During this time, he focused solely on meditation to increase his soul power, and he wasn't in a hurry to know what level he had reached.
"Alright, stop asking so many questions."
Seeing that Yu Xiaolie was ignoring him, Haote was about to continue asking questions.
Chu Huaizhou, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted Haote.
As he spoke, Chu Huaizhou's gaze also fell on Yu Xiaolie, who was standing a little ahead of the group.
Yu Xiaolie holds a pivotal position in the team.
Over the past year, he has rarely failed in the missions he has undertaken.
There seems to be a kind of unwavering determination in him that he cannot allow failure.
Hunting squads like theirs often walk the line between life and death to make big money; otherwise, if they were just looking for a place to eat and stay, who would want to stay here for long?
Therefore, it is normal for people to die in battle.
Over the past year, at least 30% of the team members who were originally with Yu Xiaolie have been replaced.
Although the team has grown considerably, many of the people who had worked together before have died in the mission.
This also made Yu Xiaolie's personality more composed and taciturn.
...
The group walked quickly along the way.
In just four days, they had penetrated deep into the heart of the territory.
The client's promise to deliver within eight days prompted the team to travel at almost their fastest speed.
They encountered no danger along the way.
Everything seemed to be going very smoothly.
"This time, it seems like we didn't encounter any danger."
Haote, standing in the group, felt a surge of curiosity.
Yu Xiaolie's expression was extremely solemn.
They are now deep inside the forest.
In the Soul Beast Forest, there is no such thing as a safe and smooth journey.
This snow-covered forest is fraught with danger.
"In the past, we would encounter spirit beasts not long after entering the forest, but this time, it went by so smoothly it was almost unbelievable."
"Hey, this time the reward looks pretty easy to get."
"Hehe, after I get the money, I'm definitely going to have some fun."
Within the group, many people had already started discussing the journey, thanks to the smooth sailing along the way.
Some people have already made plans to spend the money.
However, before these people could finish their discussion...
A sudden commotion arose ahead.
