"What is this..."
Everyone turned to look behind Mo Ran and Xiao Bai.
Three gigantic Saber-toothed Beasts were tightly bound by spider silk, writhing on the ground. No matter how they struggled, they couldn't break free from the silken restraints.
Xiao Bai dragged one Saber-toothed Beast, while Mo Ran dragged two.
It was clear that Mo Ran had won this match.
"Saber-toothed Beasts!!"
Upon recognizing the appearance of these three monsters, Huizi and the other four mercenaries felt their scalps go numb and their hair stand on end.
Only Zhang Mo's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands, saying,
"Wonderful, sister caught sheep. We can eat lamb tonight!"
Huizi looked at Zhang Mo with a pale face, thinking:
"You call this sheep? Do you usually eat this thing?"
She then slowly turned her head to look at the other mercenaries.
At this moment, their faces were equally grim. They looked at the three children as if they were monsters.
Even a single Saber-toothed Beast was something that the five of them might not be able to defeat.
And yet, these two children had captured three of them in one go!
It was important to know that capturing a monster alive was several times more difficult than killing one!
It required absolute strength to attempt a live capture.
A thought struck all five of them simultaneously: run!
But thinking was one thing, and doing was another.
They were so terrified their legs had gone limp, and they couldn't move!
Furthermore, even if they could run now, it was questionable whether they could outrun Mo Ran and Xiao Bai.
Just as they stood there, lost and confused, a series of crisp applause suddenly came from not far away.
"Hahaha, I've truly never seen such fools. How dare you presume to cooperate with the Supreme One?"
"To be scared like this by three little brats, it's truly eye-opening!"
A middle-aged man, dressed in shorts and a sleeveless shirt and wearing sunglasses, walked over with a smirk.
He wore a yellow ring on his hand.
"You... you must be the envoy sent by the Supreme One. I've brought Zhang Chen's three children. See..."
Huizi, with a thick skin, continued to speak.
*Swish!*
A gust of wind blew.
Huizi's body was instantly split in half from top to bottom, reverting to her original form before slowly collapsing.
Her internal organs and blood splattered across the ground, emitting a strong scent of gore.
The other four mercenaries were terrified. They quickly knelt on the ground, bowing and begging for mercy, saying,
"Your Excellency, spare us! Your Excellency, spare us! These three children were captured by you. We merely wanted to pledge allegiance to the Supreme One!"
The big mercenary reacted the fastest. He quickly changed his tune, pushing all the credit onto the man before them.
What was the point of seeking credit at this moment? Survival was paramount!
Otherwise, if the other party got angry and killed them all, the credit would still belong to him.
"Hmm... you're smart. But... I don't like people who are too smart!"
Another gust of wind blew.
The four mercenaries met the same fate, splitting into eight pieces on the ground.
"Huh? This woman isn't your mom? Zhang Mo, did you see that?!"
Mo Ran pointed at Huizi's corpse on the ground and shouted.
Although the body was unrecognizable, Katerina had fair skin and red hair. However, the corpse had black hair and sallow skin. From these two points alone, it was evident they were not the same person.
"I knew it already..."
Zhang Mo said with a pout.
"Huh? If you knew, why didn't you tell us?"
Xiao Bai mimicked Mo Ran's tone.
"I was giving you signals! You just didn't see them!"
Zhang Mo spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Really? I thought sand got into your eyes!"
Xiao Bai said, and then she and Mo Ran giggled.
"Hey, can you three brats show me some respect?"
"I just killed five people, and you're not scared at all?"
"Even if you're not scared, shouldn't you at least ask me what I'm here for?"
The man, left ignored for a while, finally couldn't help but speak.
"Uh... who are you?"
Xiao Bai looked at the man and then obligingly asked.
"Hmph, you little brat, fine. I won't waste my breath on you!"
"Come with me to the Supreme One obediently, and don't force me to use force!"
The man adjusted his sunglasses, deliberately revealing the yellow ring on his hand.
"Hm?"
Xiao Bai scratched her head.
The man then noticed that Xiao Bai wasn't wearing a ring!
And... this girl looked so familiar? Had he seen her somewhere before...
The man pondered for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He quickly took off his sunglasses and looked again.
She looked so much like him!
This was almost a youthful version of the Doomsdayer!
The man then turned his gaze to Mo Ran, and his surprise grew even more.
He assumed Mo Ran also didn't have a ring, and her appearance strongly resembled the Spider Queen—those ink-black eyes, the ear-length short hair, and the ball of spider silk in her hand...
Spider silk?!
The man's pupils contracted violently!
This confirmed she was the Spider Queen. What other humanoid monster could spit out spider silk?!
The man turned his gaze back to Zhang Mo.
Although this little boy only looked about three or four years old... even he wasn't wearing a ring!
What in the world was going on?!
What kind of monsters had these fools kidnapped?!
Were these really Zhang Chen's children?
The little boy aside, had the Spider Queen and the Doomsdayer also been born to him?
What kind of monstrous being must Zhang Chen be!
"Wuwu... wuwu..."
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the forest. Flocks of large birds took to the sky, obscuring the sun, and giant trees began to sway uneasily.
Following that, dozens of Saber-toothed Beasts rushed out of the dense forest.
The sounds they emitted were not angry roars, but rather a whimpering sound similar to what canines make when frightened.
"Wow... so many sheep!"
Mo Ran exclaimed, her eyes shining.
"I know, I know! There's a word called a flock. This must be the legendary flock!"
Xiao Bai began to show off her vocabulary.
"Flock, flock!"
Zhang Mo also shouted excitedly.
"Something's wrong..."
The man realized the situation was not right.
So many mutated Rank VIII Saber-toothed Beasts traveling in packs in the forest were rarely threatened.
Even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't be this terrified.
There must be something incredibly frightening behind them!
With this thought, the man immediately planted a communication beacon on the ground.
A portal slowly opened...
"I'm not playing with you guys anymore. These people must be Zhang Chen's spies, pretending to negotiate with me, but actually intending to send the Spider Queen to attack the camp. I won't let you succeed!"
Saying this, the man stepped into the portal.
However, in the next second, he walked out of the portal again.
"This... why is it still here?"
The man was stunned. The portal wasn't working?!
Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the forest.
It was the figure of a woman, with shoulder-length hair.
The sun had already set, and the moon slowly rose, illuminating the woman's pale face...
