Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1468: Companions on the Journey

Just as Zi Yan was about to retort, Li Feng stopped her.

"Alright, having you escort us along the way is indeed safer. Once we get back to Ancestor Dragon City, there won't be any shortage of benefits for you."

Li Feng looked at Pei Lang and nodded straightforwardly.

Pei Lang met Li Feng's gaze, clearly not expecting him to agree so readily: "In that case, please wait for a moment."

"Why did you agree with them?"

Xiao Luobing lowered her voice to quietly question Li Feng.

"They're clearly up to no good."

Li Feng watched Pei Lang feed his blue wolf mount, speaking without turning his head: "The things you can think of, do you think I wouldn't have thought of them?"

"And you're still going to go with them?"

Xiao Luobing bit her lip; the way Pei Lang looked at her was clearly as if he wanted to devour her.

Traveling with such a group, it's likely even sleeping wouldn't be reassuring.

Li Feng turned to look at Xiao Luobing: "Do you think we have a choice? Since they dared block us and put it so openly, we could refuse."

"But, for the rest of the journey, we could be facing hidden scrutiny or even an ambush at any moment."

"Then by following them, isn't it the same?"

Xiao Luobing stubbornly argued with Li Feng.

"At worst, I'll sell you."

Li Feng really didn't want to argue with his cousin; explaining to her was practically like playing music to a bull.

"You wouldn't dare."

Xiao Luobing glared at Li Feng, her almond-shaped eyes wide.

"Keep nagging, and see if I don't dare."

Xiao Luobing was fuming, but had no way to deal with Li Feng. Zi Yan looked at Li Feng: "What kind of scheme do you have now?"

Although Zi Yan hadn't spent much time with Li Feng, she knew from previous interactions that this man never played by the book.

Since he agreed, he must have a plan.

Li Feng glanced at Zi Yan: "Play it by ear."

Zi Yan didn't ask further.

After half an hour, the Hunting Group had packed up; this group was not the trio Li Feng saw before, but a seven-person team.

Six men and one woman.

The leader was a one-eyed burly man riding a Winged Tiger, named Qin Hu, and Li Feng scanned the others.

Li Feng took the initiative to greet them, since avoiding them was impossible, he might as well gather some intel, know thyself and know thy enemy.

"It was late yesterday, so I didn't know your names, which Hunting Group are you from?"

"Since we're going to rely on your escort later, it's best to know who I'm dealing with."

Li Feng seamlessly took control of the conversation.

Their side also couldn't pin down Li Feng's group of three, if they wanted to take a risk, they would've ambushed last night. Though they were many, Li Feng's side—although Zi Yan had Foundation Establishment level strength—Xiao Luobing was definitely a burden. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Qin Hu heard Li Feng's direct inquiry.

"I am Qin Hu, leader of this Hunting Group. We're a freelance Hunting Group that takes on missions to earn commissions."

"Scout Pei Lang, Zhao Sun, Hunter Cang Ze, Cheng Ju, Helian Lie, logistics Ran Yue."

Qin Hu introduced his six subordinates one by one.

Li Feng also matched them up accordingly.

Scout Pei Lang, the man with a lecherous face riding a blue wolf, Zhao Sun was a Hawk Trainer, dressed in a half-body leather armor, with a hawk resembling Hai Dongqing perched on his shoulder.

Cang Ze, Cheng Ju, and Helian Lie were all rugged, burly men, the only difference being their weapons.

Cang Ze had a spear, Cheng Ju carried a Wolf Fang Club, and Helian Lie wielded a giant axe; these three were clearly the frontline tanks, with heavier leather armor covered in claw marks and bloodstains.

And the only woman among the seven was a frail-looking lady wearing a half-mask, with an average build and few words, casually playing with a pet beast resembling a chinchilla on her shoulder.

"We've given our names, now may I ask who you are?"

"Zhou Zheng."

"Zi Yan, Ouyang Luobing."

Li Feng introduced the three of them directly.

"Oh?"

Qin Hu looked at Li Feng in surprise, initially thought Li Feng was from the Ouyang surname, even if not a direct heir, surely a side branch.

Didn't expect the other party's surname was Zhou.

His gaze swept over Zi Yan, and then looked at Xiao Luobing. This woman indeed had some air of a noble family's lady.

Li Feng seemed to see the other side's confusion and directly admitted, "No need to guess, I'll tell you straight, I married into the Ouyang Family."

"I previously held a position in the border patrol army, and she is my wife's cousin. She's quite favored in the family. This time, for some reasons, she sneaked out of Ancestor Dragon City with her attendants."

"As you know, recently the Ancestral Dragon's Eye opened, and outsiders have arrived. They wanted to catch a slave to bring back, so they came to the borderlands looking for me."

"I just took them around for a bit, but unexpectedly ran into you guys."

Li Feng, mixing truth with falsehood, finished speaking and sighed helplessly.

"Hey, you inverted husband, are you disdaining me again."

Xiao Luobing, listening to Li Feng spinning his tale, was in complete awe, thinking a man's mouth is full of lies.

She almost believed him.

Hmmph, good thing you didn't say this lady is your wife, otherwise…

The members of the Hunting Group listened to Li Feng's account and believed seventy to eighty percent of it. The noble families' young masters and ladies could indeed do things more ridiculous than this, so sneaking out wasn't surprising.

A live-in son-in-law, no wonder his surname is Zhou, yet he knows the Ouyang Family's Nine Rhinoceros Technique.

"Ha, turns out to be a live-in son-in-law."

Pei Lang curled his lips, letting out a disdainful chuckle. If the opposite party were truly a member of the Ouyang family, even if not well-known, it wouldn't be good to easily offend them. But if he's just a live-in son-in-law.

Pei Lang felt immediate disdain in his heart.

Being a live-in son-in-law for a noble family is akin to being a dog. They may be hustling for a living, but at least they are free.

"Originally, they didn't want to go back, but with you all here, it saves me the trouble. As long as you help escort them back to Ancestor Dragon City, the Ouyang Family won't treat you poorly."

Li Feng said helplessly.

Qin Hu frowned, speechless. Feeling like he was helping him out, still unsure how this guy frightened the Ouyang family's young lady last night.

"Let's move."

Immediately, the group left the desolate ruins.

"Zhao Sun."

"Hmm."

With a glance from Qin Hu, Zhao Sun released the hawk on his shoulder to fly into the sky, serving as eyes in the sky akin to a drone, overseeing the area for dozens of miles.

"Pei Lang."

"Got it." Pei Lang was reluctant to leave, even if he couldn't do anything to Xiao Luobing and Zi Yan, looking a few more times wouldn't hurt.

Reluctantly, Pei Lang rode ahead on a green wolf to scout the way, with Qin Hu riding the Winged Tiger in front, followed by a giant ox-drawn cart.

This ox was evidently no ordinary creature, robust as an elephant, its broad back could host a mahjong game.

Suspended on either side of its back were eight beast cages, covered with fur, hiding whatever might be inside.

On the ox's back were camping tents, handled by Ran Yue who rode on the ox, steering its direction.

Three other hunters rode brown bear-like mounts surrounding the ox.

Awooo.

Awooo.

Occasionally, howling sounds came from the cages on the ox's back, drawing Li Feng's curious gaze.

At this time, Ran Yue opened a cage, pulling out a still-young, milk-scented beast, holding it and feeding with a self-made milk bottle.

The little beast devoured greedily.

"Wow, such a cute puppy."

Xiao Luobing gazed at the little beast in Ran Yue's arms, her eyes lighting up. Women typically have little resistance to such young creatures.

Zi Yan's expression changed slightly, "That's no puppy, but a young Cang Wolf. They are quite bold to dare steal a cub from the Cang Yue Wolves."

Li Feng also looked at the little beast in Ran Yue's arms, resembling a wolf cub indeed.

Though Li Feng didn't know what kind of breed this Cang Wolf was, out there, stealing a wolf cub would definitely enrage the whole pack.

And wolves are intelligent and spiritual creatures; it's best not to offend them, otherwise their revenge would follow like a shadow, unending.

"Are you sure it's a wolf cub?"

"Yes, Cang Wolves have a distinguishing feature, which is a crescent mark on their foreheads. Even if it's small, it's clearly recognizable."

"Ha, are you scared?"

The trio, speaking in low tones, were still overheard by nearby hunters, all of whom were cultivators with naturally sharp senses.

"Cang Wolves are very protective of their young; capturing Cang Wolf cubs will certainly provoke the wolf pack."
