At another side of the Giant Rock Canyon, Du Qiang led a group of senior and junior brothers to chase after their target . With the surging heatwave, their backs were soaked with sweat from the heat .

“Senior Brother Du, where did that Wu Qi go? I still saw him running towards here just now . Why is there no trace of him now?” A young man frowned as he was still unable to see their target after looking around for some time .
The leader, Du Qiang, who looked about twenty-four to twenty-five, frowned deeply .
The group of them followed Wu Qi to this place, but in the blink of an eye, they suddenly lost track of him . At that instant, Du Qiang’s mood could be said to be extremely foul .
“The target of our mission this time is Wu Qi . Wu Qi is a villain on the Assassination Roll, and the rewards are plentiful . We followed him for three days and three nights . If we lose track of him now, we might have attempted this mission for nothing . No way… We must find Wu Qi,” Du Qiang said coldly .

“But… there are many rocks in this Giant Rock Canyon, and its topography is extremely complicated . It is very likely that Wu Qi discovered us; that’s why he suddenly increased his speed . If he planned to hide, it would not be easy to find him,” said another disciple helplessly .
They were the outer sect disciples of Qinglin Sect . They left the sect this time because they obtained information of one of the people on the Assassination Roll; thus, they prepared for days and chased after him .
But if they lost sight of Wu Qi at this time, the time spent on this mission would all be a waste .
Everyone wore an ugly expression at that moment .

The loss from a failed mission could not be estimated .
But just as they were unwilling to give up, a disciple suddenly heard a violent battle sound .
“Senior Brother Du, look!” The disciple hurriedly pointed towards the source of the sound .
Du Qiang looked up, and elation emerged in his eyes .

Not far away, a group of youths was in a fierce battle with an enormous Giant Lizard . This scene completely revived Du Qiang .
“Looking from their clothes, it should be Xuanling Sect disciples . ” Du Qiang glanced at the youths that were battling the Giant Lizard .
“Xuanling Sect? Senior Brother Du, it is already a huge loss to lose Wu Qi . The people from Xuanling Sect seem to have been fighting with the Giant Lizard for a long time, and the battle should end sometime soon . Senior Brother Du, do you think… we can…” That disciple hinted at Du Qiang .
Du Qiang sneered .
“That Giant Lizard is a level 6 demonic beast . Judging from the circumstances, they should be able to kill it . However… we lost the reward for Wu Qi, and if we could kill a level 6 Giant Lizard… perhaps, we could make up a little of the loss . ”
Du Qiang’s words instantly excited the other disciples, and the group of them rushed towards the battle site not far away from them .
At the battle site, Gu Yanqiu and the rest were focused on killing the Giant Lizard before them . They had relatively good teamwork, and with the effort of nine people, they were equally matched with the Giant Lizard . With Gu Yanqiu’s experience, he believed that the Giant Lizard would be killed in no time .
“Junior Brother Qin, go attract the Giant Lizard’s attraction . I will sneak an attack,” Gu Yanqiu told the nimble Qin Huan in an interval .
Qin Huan understood Gu Yanqiu’s meaning and immediately jumped into the sight of the Giant Lizard .
The Giant Lizard sustained many injuries during the battle, and it was already bursting with anger . Suddenly seeing his attacker jumping in front of him, he let out a growl and launched at him with its bloody mouth wide open!
