Under the gaze of the group, the short man came to Xiao Yan's approach in three or two steps.

"I'm a good girl, why does this guy grow so big......"

Getting closer, the short man also saw Xiao Yan's front clearly.

The three-meter-long wolf body is covered with white and red lines, and the hideous wolf head looks like it is not easy to provoke.

The earthy yellow beast pupils looked down at the short man, a look of disdainful contempt.

Just by glancing at each other, all the confidence in the short man's heart was like a deflated ball, pouring out for thousands of miles.

The original idea of being full of ambition also died down, and he looked at Xiao Yan with some trepidation, and said with a smile: "Haha, hahaha, hello!"

Roar――――

Xiao Yan didn't pay attention to this, put the little wolf cub on the ground gently, and then swept it behind him with a flick of his tail to protect it, and then his eyes showed a fierce light and roared angrily at the short man.

The roar shook the sky, causing the short man to stumble backwards and fall to the ground.

"Captain help, this beast is wild and untamable, I can't control it!"

Under a life-and-death crisis, the short man kicked the ground with both feet, quickly retreated to the feet of the tall and thin man, and hugged the other party's thighs with a ghostly wolf howl.

Because the voice of the short man was relatively quiet, no one present heard it. Now that he saw Xiao Yan revealing a fierce appearance without saying a word, he thought that he was wild and untamable.

Seeing this, some people shouted and scolded angrily: "Look for death, brute!"

Seeing this, the tall and thin head of the regiment also changed his complexion, and he was a little regretful, after all, being able to subdue a demon beast would be of great benefit to the mercenary group in the future.

But since this beast is stubborn, it's okay to kill it, anyway, after selling it for money, it can also be used to strengthen the mercenary group.

"In that case, let's kill it!"

said lightly, the tall and thin head and the other two took the lead, and the aura in the bodies of the three of them exploded, and they had already reached the level of consummation of the life spirit realm.

The three of them surrounded Xiao Yan in a semi-arc, and the rest of the twenty or so members of the Atsugi Mercenary Group drew their weapons one by one and approached Xiao Yan little by little.

Roar, roar, roar!

Xiao Yan's body arched slightly, and the hideous beast head roared like a warning at the surroundings, turned his tail and gently put Wu Qin on his back to the ground.

The true power in the body was barely mobilized, and the little flame beast opened its mouth, and it wanted to spew out a ball of flame and breath.

Seeing this, the tall and thin regiment leader at the front suddenly changed his complexion, his figure suddenly retreated, and at the same time shouted to the people behind him:

"It's not good, this demon wolf wants to cast a spell, everyone disperse!"

After this change, the formation of the Atsugi mercenary group was scattered, and everyone scattered in a panic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yan Beast's mouth closed, and he turned to pick up the little wolf cub, rolled up Wu Qin, and his body turned into a red and white two-color shadow in a flash, passing through the crowd and fleeing towards the outside of the canyon.

At this time, everyone was able to react.

After all, according to their understanding of demon beasts, demon beasts are extremely ferocious. Once you are provoked, you must be bloody, and you will not give up until you fight to the death.

Escape?

That's almost impossible.

But now, this somewhat absurd scene is really happening right now.

The one on the left looked at the tall and thin head of the regiment and asked, "Commander." What can I do about this?"

"This ......" The tall and thin man's face changed, and he finally sighed and replied: "It's okay, this demon beast knows how to flee without being defeated, and it must have a very high intelligence, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

"It's okay to escape, since you don't have anything to do with my Atsugi mercenary group, you don't have to force it. But all of you are friends of my Li, and you can't have any less!"

When the tall and thin head said these words, he was full of words, and his chest was tall and straight, and he looked excited and emotional.

As soon as these words came out, most of the members immediately felt grateful. That look, just like the people who have been obscure, were praised by the village chief one day, and the joy in their hearts can naturally be imagined.

Even some people who don't treat the tall and thin head of the regiment very well on weekdays have a strange feeling in their hearts, and their hearts are slightly warm.

On the contrary, it was the short man at the back, looking at the tall and thin regiment leader who was praised by everyone, and a touch of coldness welled up in the gap of his squinting eyes.

"Damn it, the Atsugi mercenary group, sooner or later it's all mine!"

With a faint mutter, the short man turned his head to look in the direction of Xiao Yan's departure, and grasped his hand.

He saw two rings from the hand of the man on the back of the demon beast, one was a card ring, and the other was probably a storage ring!

Storage rings!

That's a lot of valuable things, if he can get it, exchange it for silver leaves, and then go to the auction house to buy some elixirs to enhance his cultivation!

And if his luck is better, and there are treasures in the storage ring, then he can be regarded as really making a lot of money.

Thinking of this, the short man's heart couldn't help but feel hot, and he looked in the direction where Xiao Yan had fled again.

......

As for the other side.

After Xiao Yan escaped from the canyon, he burrowed into the sea of green mist, followed the induction, and ran in a certain direction.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Chen, who was moving forward quickly, stopped suddenly, raised his head and looked at a place not far away.

I saw a disturbance in the green mist there, and in an instant, a red and white figure drilled out.

"Woo, master!"

Xiao Yan came closer, lowered his head, and rubbed Li Chen's arm affectionately and meekly.

This kind of appearance is diametrically opposed to its attitude towards outsiders.

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, sighed softly, and then reached out and touched Xiao Yan's head.

The slender fingers followed the texture of the mane, although they only touched it gently, it still made Xiao Yan's body tremble, and he raised his head instead, looking at Li Chen in surprise and excitement.

"Well, you're my friend from now on. So, don't bite a master anymore!"

Li Chen turned his head away and whispered a little awkwardly.

As early as on the way here, Li Chen had thought it out in his heart.

Xiao Yan and Wu Qin treated him well, and he saw it all in his eyes without revealing anything. Maybe he had some mustard in his heart before, but when facing the black-robed people, they could stand up for themselves without hesitation, just by virtue of this, this friend, he Li Chen made a decision.

Although he has basically grown up on the run since he can remember, he has never had friends, and he does not understand the meaning of the word friend.

But if there is a man who is willing to face danger without hesitation, like his mother and brother, in order to protect him. That should be the so-called friendship and friendship, he thought.

Only those who have suffered together can be regarded as true friends of life and death.

When Xiao Yan heard this, his huge body shook suddenly, and the hideous and fierce beast face actually revealed an extremely human ecstasy.

"Whew~~~~~~"

Xiao Yan stretched out his slippery tongue with joy, and with a pop, it hit Li Chen's face, disturbing his fine black hair for a while.

Li Chen (slightly angry): "Xiao Yan!"

Xiao Yan (lowered his eyes and eyebrows, looking aggrieved and admitting his mistakes): "Woo~~~"
