469 - Heavy Loss (2)

The two men spoke to each other without minding if their words had fallen into the ears of a nearby person, as if talking about a happy event.

Shen Yanxiao stood still, her brows creasing up.

Not long ago, Du Lang told her that they might have found the thing that she wanted. But Du Lang said that half a month ago and Shen Yanxiao had not received any news again after that.

She had thought this time Du Lang returned empty-handed, but hearing the dialogue between those two people raised a chill in her heart.

Shen Yanxiao immediately changed her destination, walking towards the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps' headquarters.

The usually imposing and dignified huge front door of the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps' headquarters was currently empty. Even the daily guards at the door were missing. The door was lock which seemed quite odd.

Shen Yanxiao went over and knocked on the closed door.

"This time Cave Wolves mercenaries don't accept any task, the guest who want to entrust a task, please return." Vicious Wolf's voice sounded from behind the door which was still locked.

Shen Yanxiao was clearly aware that there was something wrong in the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, she immediately said out loudly, "Brother Vicious Wolf, this is Huo Xiao."

There was a moment of silence in the room. Soon, the thick door was opened, and Vicious Wolf's figure appeared in front of Shen Yanxiao.

But as soon as she saw Vicious Wolf, Shen Yanxiao's eyes flashed a hint of astonishment.

As a Senior Knight, Vicious Wolf's body had always been very strong, but the Vicious Wolf before her had his left hand wrapped in thick bandages, his handsome face scarred.

"Little Huo, it's you ah." Vicious Wolf looked at Shen Yanxiao with embarrassment.

"Brother Vicious Wolf, what happened to you?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Vicious Wolf puzzled.

Vicious Wolf sighed, then looked at Shen Yanxiao and said, "Come in."

Shen Yanxiao followed Vicious Wolf into the Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps headquarters. The spacious hall was empty and there wasn't a single shadow inside. Vicious Wolf continued walking towards the back hall.

The moment Shen Yanxiao stepped into the back hall, she was immediately shocked by the immediate scene.

Dozens of Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps members were all sitting on a chair. Everyone's body more or less with injuries, those seriously wounded lacked arms or legs, and a faint scent of bloody filled the air.

"Brother Vicious Wolf, what's going on?" Shen Yanxiao was having a hard time imagining how could these well-trained Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps be in this current state. It seemed that everything she had heard was not groundless at all.

"Where's the head?" Shen Yanxiao swept a look around, but did not find Du Lang's figure.

Vicious Wolf looked a little aggrieved, he lowered his head and his right hand clenched into a fist.

"The leader… is still yet to wake up."

"Still yet to wake up?" Shen Yanxiao was momentarily stunned. Realizing that something was not right, she quickly grabbed Vicious Wolf and asked about the situation.

Vicious Wolf hesitated.

"Forget it, I will take you to the leader first. As for what happened, let Demon Wolf tell you."

After speaking, Vicious Wolf took Shen Yanxiao to Du Lang's room.

The rest of the Seven Wolves at this moment were in Du Lang's bedside. Du Lang was quietly lying on the bed, his handsome face had no trace of blood, his lips were pale and dry, his condition didn't seem very optimistic.

When the other five wolves saw Shen Yanxiao's figure, their gazes were somewhat strange.

And they were in no better condition than Vicious Wolf. Demon Wolf's face had a ghastly wound extending from his left face to his neck.

"What happened to you in the end, how did this come about?" Shen Yanxiao looked at the wretched Seven Wolves and asked frowning.
