"I wonder how that ice-cold face guy is doing now."

Qian Duoduo sighed softly and spoke again.

"Don't worry, with Brother Dugu's level of cultivation, even in this Outer Battlefield, nothing is likely to happen."

Wang Ruoxie smiled and said to Qian Duoduo.

Although Dugu Mo didn't join the Black Dragon Guard like them, he also believed that with Dugu Mo's strength, he would surely be able to obtain enough cultivation resources.

Moreover, as long as Dugu Mo continues to comprehend that Ancient Sword in his hand, the speed of enhancing his cultivation power may not be much slower than their rate of exchanging merits for treasure resources for cultivation.

Additionally, without the constraints of being in the Black Dragon Guard, Dugu Mo can hunt Evil Demons and search for treasure resources better, so his rate of improvement may not be slower than theirs as Black Dragon Guards, and might even be faster.

This is also the main reason why there are even more individual martial cultivators in the Outer Battlefield.

Of course, these things are not the most important to Wang Ruoxie, after all, he can devour Essence Blood and Blood Soul to improve his cultivation power, even if he doesn't acquire treasure resources, his rate of improvement is likely not slower than anyone's.

This is also his confidence in coming to the Outer Battlefield with only an Essence Pill Realm cultivation, he believes it won't be long before he can break through to the Acupoint Condensation Realm.

However, he is naturally very tempted by the Five Elements Treasures: Golden Light Profound Ganoderma, Bodhi Wood Heart, Rootless Purple Water, Sixth Grade Fire Lotus, Glazed Blood Soil.

If there is a chance, he certainly wouldn't miss it, even if he has to use the Soul Boat, he must snatch them.

After traveling for about half an hour, Wang Ruoxie and the others slowed down, each cautiously looking around.

This area is already deep in the Endless Wilderness, the region most prone to encountering Evil Demons.

"Roar..."

After a while, everyone seemed to hear beast roars in their ears.

"It doesn't seem to be Evil Demons, but rather the local demon beasts of this Outer Battlefield."

Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered.

After speaking, he raised his hand to halt everyone's advance.

"Just some demon beasts, Chiliarch, are you possibly afraid?"

At this moment, a handsome young man in Two Dragon Battle Armor spoke to Wang Ruoxie.

Though he addressed Wang Ruoxie as Chiliarch, the tone was contemptuous, as if he had no respect for Wang Ruoxie's position.

Upon hearing the young man's words, several other Centurions, and those Decurions, even quite a few ordinary soldiers, looked at Wang Ruoxie with mocking eyes, seemingly ready to watch a show.

Although they dared not excessively provoke Wang Ruoxie due to his status as Chiliarch, nor actively challenged him, they didn't truly believe Wang Ruoxie was qualified to be the leader of these thousand genius warriors.

Especially Zhuge Ming and Feng Yangyu, their faces showed even more schadenfreude, clearly waiting for Wang Ruoxie to make a fool of himself.

"Si Qing, how can you speak to the boss like that?"

Qian Duoduo looked coldly at the young man and shouted.

"Qian Duoduo, don't forget your status. You're just a mere Decurion, while I'm a Centurion. Be careful, I might charge you with grave disrespect."

Si Qing sneered at Qian Duoduo and said: "Besides, though he's the Chiliarch and your boss, he's not our boss."

Hearing Si Qing's words, Qian Duoduo's face flushed with anger, just as he was about to say something more, Wang Ruoxie stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"Boss, these guys are outrageous, they don't even regard you, the Chiliarch, in their eyes."

Qian Duoduo said, standing up for Wang Ruoxie.

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly, shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to Si Qing and said, "You are a Centurion, and I am a Chiliarch. Can I charge you with grave disrespect too?"

"If the Chiliarch's heart is so small that he can't listen to a word from his subordinate, then naturally I have nothing to say and am willing to accept punishment."

Si Qing replied with a smirk that didn't reach his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't punish you. However, I can tell you the reason why I stopped you from advancing isn't that I'm afraid, but because I don't want you to die in vain."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Si Qing indifferently and said.

Of course, he could use his position as Chiliarch to punish Si Qing by military law, but he also knew that if he really did so, he probably wouldn't be able to truly control his thousand-man team.

After all, no one would sincerely follow a narrow-minded superior who abuses their power for personal grudges.

Moreover, he also knew that with only Essence Pill Realm cultivation, while these people at least all have the First Layer of Qi Condensation, how could they sincerely respect him as Chiliarch?

In the Martial Arts World, no matter if it's power or wealth, in the face of strength, they are like illusions; if his strength were strong enough, even as an ordinary soldier, he could still intimidate these people.

Conversely, if his strength were insufficient, even as the Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dragon Guard, he couldn't make these people truly submit.

"Chiliarch, isn't it a little ridiculous what you said, just some demon beasts, how could they possibly pose a threat to us?"

Si Qing snorted and said, "Moreover, if even we're courting death, then what will you do, Chiliarch?"

"Just some demon beasts?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently and said to Si Qing, "You better open your eyes wide and look carefully at those demon beasts ahead before saying that, or it'll really make people think you're quite naive."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Si Qing's face turned rather unpleasant.

However, he didn't dare say anything further; he might have dared to go against Wang Ruoxie, but he wouldn't blatantly insult him. Otherwise, even if Wang Ruoxie didn't punish him, Lei Xing wouldn't spare him after returning to the Dragon Guard Office.

After taking a deep breath, Si Qing fixed his gaze forward, and upon focusing, his face changed dramatically and fear filled his eyes.

Not just him, at this moment, everyone else also had a look of shock on their faces.

Because they actually saw a dense mass ahead, almost entirely made up of demon beasts, at least in the tens of thousands.

What terrified them the most was that the auras emanating from these demon beasts were at least equivalent to the early stage of the human Acupoint Condensation Realm, and some gave off extremely terrifying auras that made them shudder involuntarily.

"Look, it's Evil Demons!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

Upon hearing it, everyone focused their gaze and indeed, they saw hundreds of human figures above the demon beast army.

Of course, they knew very well that these were not real humans but Evil Demons from the Evil Land.

"Could it be that these tens of thousands of demon beasts were driven by those Evil Demons?"

A Centurion named Yuan Ning said with an extremely serious expression.

Hundreds of Evil Demons, coupled with tens of thousands of demon beasts, while they only had a thousand men, how could they possibly contend with that?
