Everyone had successfully left the bamboo forest, but the two remaining martial masters had already died, and the rest of the Mercenary Army Elders had already fallen into a deathtrap.

In that moment of life and death, Feng Ge suddenly had the courage to run forward and climb up the giant python's body …

"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" Seeing that someone had crawled onto its body, the giant python immediately gave up on attacking its Mercenary Army. It shook its body, intending to throw Feng Ge off.

However, Feng Ge tightly hugged onto the python's body. Fortunately, the python's body was thick, and wasn't easy to slide across, so no matter how the python swung, it couldn't fall off. However, the giant python quickly turned its head and opened its bloody mouth to bite Feng Ge, who was on its back.

"No …" The Mercenary Army leader cried out in surprise. Although he and Feng Ge did not have any relationship, but at this moment, he actually dared to disregard his own safety, and was extremely moved.

Even he himself, with his four star Great Martial Master, was powerless against this enormous python, let alone a puny martial artist.

Feng Ge felt dizzy, because the stench coming from the python's mouth was too strong and too disgusting, he couldn't help but let go.

Because this release of its hand allowed Feng Ge to escape a calamity. The giant python's attack was futile, and the moment its body landed, it casually picked up a blade on the ground and ran to the side.

Even though the giant python's body was huge, its bones were extremely nimble. It turned its head, leaned forward, and once again bit towards Feng Ge.

The Mercenary Army rushed to the python's body in a panic, slashing and stabbing at it with all its might, but the python continued to attack Feng Ge, ignoring everything else.

Seeing that the giant python was just five feet away from biting down on Feng Ge, in that instant, Feng Ge actually stopped in his tracks, and forcefully stabbed the blade back into the ground, while the blade was aimed at the giant python's head.

"Puchi, kacha …" A deep muffled sound rang out, followed by the sound of bones breaking. Soon after, the colossal creature collapsed onto the ground.

The giant python was unable to control its speed for a time, and it crashed headfirst into the sword. The sword stabbed into its throat, piercing through its skull, and the python died on the spot!

"Boom …" The giant python's body fell onto the ground. Feng Ge's legs went soft and he sat on the ground.

Thinking back to the shocking scene from before, Feng Ge felt a chill down his spine.

"Little brother, you …" The head of the Mercenary Army looked at the dead python, he looked at Feng Ge in shock and was speechless.

A four star Great Martial Master combined with many other martial masters could not even contend against a four star ferocious Magical Beast, yet it was solved by a small martial artist? This was simply too unbelievable.

"Captain, everything is fine." Feng Ge sat on the ground as he panted heavily and waved his hand at the Mercenary Army Elder.

The Mercenary Army Elder didn't know what to say, and at this moment, he praised Feng Ge a little more. In the end, after he confirmed that the giant python was indeed dead, he took out something and blew a few times into his mouth.

As this voice rang out, the mercenaries that had run out of the bamboo forest brought the awakened boss back here.

When everyone saw that the terrifying giant python had died, they all praised and praised the captain of the Great Martial Master.

"Guild Leader, you're truly powerful. Even a Rank 4 Magical Beast was killed. I'm impressed. I'm impressed." The boss said with admiration.

"Speaking of which, I'm ashamed. I'm not the one who killed this python." The Mercenary Army elder said shamefully.

"Oh? Was this python not killed by the captain? Could it be that there is another expert here? " The boss was puzzled. Everyone was puzzled, but no one looked at Feng Ge.

"The one who killed the giant python is this little brother." He saved us all. " The Mercenary Army Elder turned and said to Feng Ge.

"What?" Was it him who killed the python? " Everyone was shocked. Who would believe that a four star ranker could kill a Magical Beast of the fourth stage without even being able to use its Great Martial Master?

"That's right, it really is him. If it wasn't for this little brother here, I'm afraid that my life would have already ended." The mercenary captain said one word at a time.

For a moment, everyone felt great admiration for Feng Ge. Everyone wanted to know how Feng Ge killed the giant python.

"It's going to be dark soon. Let's walk and talk." Feng Ge stood up, not feeling proud in the slightest from killing the python, because he knew that if he wasn't lucky just now, even if he was given the strength of Martial Spirit, it would have been difficult to kill the python.

After the Mercenary Army finished dealing with the python's corpse, everyone once again proceeded forward.

After travelling for over two hours, they finally passed through the bamboo forest and a patch of forest in the evening and arrived at a flat piece of land. However, they could already see the faint and scattered lights in the distance.

"That's Sai City, the small border city of the imperial city. We'll reach the imperial city once we pass Sai City." Looking at the scattered lights in the distance, the Mercenary Army Elder said.

"So you're saying, we have already left the boundaries of Myriad Beast Forest?" Feng Ge asked in surprise.

"That's right, our mission will be completed soon." The Mercenary Army Elder nodded.

"Phew …" "We're finally reaching the capital." Feng Ge heaved a deep sigh of relief in his heart. Tomorrow was exactly the day that Flowing Cloud Academy would recruit new students, so it was fortunate that they could make it there.

"Thank you for escorting me all the way here. As long as we arrive at Sai'an City, your mission will be completed." At this time, the boss spoke with a smile.

Everyone nodded their heads before heading towards Sian City.

Although it was already dark at this time, there were still a lot of people walking on the streets. This place was a bit like Beast Hunting City, because there were a lot of mercenaries and people selling things like Devil Core here.

After entering Sai'an City, everyone's mission had already been completed. The boss and the Mercenary Army Elder were currently taking heads.

Along the way, they had lost seven mercenaries and eighteen of them were still alive. According to the agreement, the owner had paid each person a thousand gold coins and sacrificed five hundred gold coins.

Then there's also Feng Ge.

The boss walked in front of Feng Ge and said: "Little brother, thank you for protecting us all the way. Here is your salary." The owner gave a small bag to Feng Ge.

Feng Ge received it, opened it to take a look, and was instantly stunned. "Didn't we agree on two hundred gold coins?"

"Little brother, you have been risking your life all this time. If it wasn't for your bravery and intelligence, I'm afraid that none of us would have survived to come to Sai An City. Therefore, you should have received the same treatment as them." The boss said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss." Feng Ge put away the cloth bag. This was the first time in his life that he had made a lot of money.

After the middle-aged owner left, Feng Ge planned to stay in Sai An City for the night and head to the imperial city early the next morning. At this time, the leader of Mercenary Army walked over.

"Little brother, this is yours." The Guild Leader of the Mercenary Army passed a seemingly tall and big golden pendant to Feng Ge.

This was a currency voucher that was commonly used in Tianxuan Empire. Due to the heavy weight of gold coins, a person could not carry too much, so every country would have their own voucher, which was convenient for people to carry.

"Eh?" Feng Ge frowned, he did not accept the voucher.

"This is the money sold by the Fourth Stage Python's Devil Core and beast bones. The total price is eighty thousand gold coins. This twenty thousand gold coins belongs to you." The Captain was all smiles.

Of course he was laughing, because he had just sold all the Devil Core he had received along the way. He had sold them for over a hundred thousand gold coins, and even the Giant Python had sold them for over eighty thousand gold coins. They hadn't made that much money in five years as mercenaries.

"En..." This money should be given to the families of those brothers who were killed. " Feng Ge rejected.

"Hahaha …" Little brother, I am truly impressed by how loyal you are to your friends at such a young age. "However, you should still accept this coupon. I have already left the portion with the fallen brothers." The Mercenary Army Elder said.

"Thank you, Captain." Feng Ge unceremoniously accepted the voucher. It was twenty thousand, but he had never seen so much money. Wasn't this equivalent to a month's worth of profit for the entire Feng Family?

"Little brother, when are you planning to return to Beast Hunting City? We can take another mission together. "

"Oh, no. I still have some matters to attend to in the imperial city tomorrow."

"..."

The two of them chatted with each other for a while, and after the two of them left each other's names, they parted ways. On the other hand, after Feng Ge found an inn to stay at, he entered into cultivation mode during the latter half of the night.

The next morning, they hurried to the imperial capital.

There was only one main road from Sai An City to the imperial city. Today, the pedestrians and carriages that headed towards the imperial city flowed like water, and the majority of them were young people who were probably going to participate in Flowing Cloud Academy's student recruitment examination.

As the journey was short, Feng Ge did not choose to ride on the carriage, but on foot. Firstly, was able to see the scenery, and secondly was able to inquire about some things.

Halfway there, Feng Ge understood that the two academies were both recruiting students at the same time as the Flowing Cloud Academy, and also the Purple Cloud Academy. One could imagine how obvious the secret battle between the two academies was.

"The imperial capital …" After walking for half an hour, Feng Ge finally arrived at the city gate. Looking at the high walls, Feng Ge stood there for a while before walking in.

The imperial city was the main city of the Tianxuan Empire. It was a very bustling city, filled with all sorts of huge buildings, well-dressed pedestrians, and cars on the streets. This was something that Feng Ge had never seen before.

Feng Ge felt that he could not find his way to the north. Fortunately, today was the day that the two major academies were recruiting students, so he only needed to follow those youths and they would be fine.

Sure enough, after walking through two alleys, before long, he saw a square. In the center of the square, there was a stone tablet with golden words engraved on it: Capital Square.

On both sides of the stone tablet, there were a large group of youths surrounding it. Behind them was a long line, and in the middle of these two lines, there were armored imperial guards maintaining order.

Feng Ge saw that above the human head on the left was a wooden shed, which was written on top of it with a red piece of cloth.

And on the right was written: Flowing Cloud Academy Recruitment Center.

The red cloth titles on both sides were extremely colorful, as countless young people signed up for interviews on both sides. Feng Ge immediately became nervous as he started to walk towards the group on the other side of the Flowing Cloud Academy.

When he reached the Flowing Cloud Academy side, he saw the familiar figure standing proudly in front of him — — Instructor Yang Fann.
