Translator: Misty Cloud Translations     Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

After the mercenaries got off the airship, they prepared fires and caught game quickly. Due to Du Fan’s request, the mercenaries also caught a pheasant, and after they had prepared it, they gave it to Feng Jiu and the others. Therefore, Qin Xin added the pheasant with some nourishing medicinal herbs and made some chicken soup for Feng Jiu to eat.

The night brought a chill breeze to the face, and after the twenty mercenaries had eaten, they gathered around the fires and took turns keeping guard. Feng Jiu went back to her cabin on the airship to rest while Du Fan and the others left Shadow One and Gray Wolf to keep guard.

The night passed peacefully and early the next morning, they continued on their way. Their airship stopped in a grove two days later, in the evening. While they rested in the grove, they heard cries for help and sounds of exclamations were accompanied by a disarray of footsteps running towards them.

“Help! Help…”

“Ah… Help…’

The twenty mercenaries rushed over to protect Feng Jiu in the first instance, and looked over cautiously towards the place where the cries were coming from. They saw a few children of about six or seven years old in tattered clothes crying as they ran through the grove. They wiped their tears as they ran, and when they fell down, they crawled and scrambled and continued to run forwards. When they saw Feng Jiu and the others in front of them, they ran in their direction quickly.

“Help!”

When Jin Yifeng saw two cultivators chasing the children, he couldn’t help but frown. The wounds on the children were shocking, but even so, they were still running very fast. At this moment, one of the cultivators behind them jumped ahead quickly and stopped in front of the children.

“Let’s see where you can run to!” The tall and skinny cultivator said sinisterly, as if he hadn’t seen the mercenaries and the airship. He cornered one of the children, then he grabbed his collar and lifted him up and threw him heavily onto the ground.

The child screamed in surprise, his hands and feet shrunk back slightly when he was thrown to the ground. He rolled forwards then rushed towards the mercenaries in front of him and shouted in panic: “Help, help us…”

As they watched on, the group of mercenaries didn’t move. They just frowned and watched on and were secretly vigilant at the same time. Why were there children being chased by cultivators suddenly in this place? The children only had basic cultivation level but were able to run extremely fast. They were also able to survive under the pursuit of those two cultivators, it was obvious that

they weren’t ordinary children.

Their mission this time was to protect Madam Xuanyuan and take them to find the Snowdrop Flower at the same time. Therefore, they wouldn’t intervene in other matters if it didn’t concern them.

Feng Jiu was sitting by the fire roasting game. She didn’t even look over at the commotion and only concentrated on roasting her game and adding spices to it. Before she finished, she even used a knife and sliced a piece of game to try.

“Ah! Pfft!”

One of the children had been kicked in his abdomen and he flew out towards the direction of the group of mercenaries. At the same time, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and cried out in pain. His body twitched and he curled up instinctively.

Du Fan walked out and fanned his fan in his hand gently. A contemptuous smile appeared on his face as he looked at the few children and the two cultivators: “If you want to make a move then do it, why put on such a clumsy show?”

One of the cultivators had lifted a child with both hands and upon hearing Du Fan’s words, threw the child angrily towards Du Fan. Just when he threw the child, the child suddenly pressed the arrow sleeve under his sleeve and shot at them..
