The battle had ended.

In just a few short minutes of fighting, the dragon mercenary group had suffered heavy casualties.

In this state, even if they just wanted to disturb the Berserk Thunder Bear, it would be impossible.

Moreover, the current Clyde had already faintly sensed the strange movements in the mountain range. It was related to the previous hidden operations of the Cavendish Family. Even if the gale mercenary group was involved, they would just be dogs for the nobles.

However, there was no direct evidence to prove so. He needed to return to Maka Town first before making any plans.

"Inform the brothers who can still move. Take care of the wounded and set up camp there. We'll set off tomorrow morning and return to Maka Town."

A hint of exhaustion appeared in Clyde's eyes. The remaining members of the mercenary group had gone through a tough battle and were already exhausted. If they tried to return to the city immediately, especially in the dark night in the mountain range, it would be courting death.

After saying that, he walked towards Copperfield, who was not far away.

"Brother Phil, without your help this time, the dragon mercenary group might have been wiped out here. If Brother Phil needs it, feel free to ask for rewards this time."

At this moment, Copperfield had just escaped from the mysterious feeling of the musical score.

He knew in his heart that Clyde probably already knew his identity.

Since Clyde didn't make it clear, Copperfield didn't have any other thoughts about confronting him.

The first time his soul displayed its strength. It should have been because it was too close to the altar.

If nothing unexpected happened, after he obtained the Star Dew Grass, his strength would immediately break through to two-star. At that time, he would be prepared to leave the dragon mercenary group and head to the altar to sign the contract alone.

Previously, the condition of staying in the dragon mercenary group was to help the dragon mercenary group kill the Berserk Thunder Bear at Thunder Cliff. Now that he had helped the dragon mercenary group out of their current predicament.., it could be considered as repaying the help that Clyde had given him previously.

"There's no need for any reward. I only need the Star Dew Grass."

Copperfield replied indifferently.

This made Clyde look troubled. He owed the other party a huge favor, but now...

"Then Brother Phil, no, I should call you Brother Copperfield."

"Before we entered the mountain range, the Cavendish Family came looking for our dragon mercenary group. I believe you should have seen it at the tavern that day."

Before Clyde could finish speaking, Copperfield raised his hand lightly and interrupted him.

"I know this. If nothing unexpected happens, the gale mercenary group that day should also be involved."

"When the magical beasts attacked just now, there should have been someone watching from the top of the mountain."

Hearing this, Clyde's eyes changed drastically. The person who caused the mutation in the mountain range was actually watching the dragon mercenary group not far away from him. But in such an intense battle, how did Copperfield have felt it?

Of course, Clyde also didn't know, but with his powerful soul strength, it wasn't difficult for Copperfield to sense that someone was watching him.

Seeing this, Clyde didn't say much. After all, he couldn't help take out what the other party needed. Even if he did, the other party might not take a fancy to it. He could only repay the other party in the future if he had the chance.

Clyde brought Copperfield to the place where he had discovered the Star Dew Grass previously.

It was about fifty meters above the cliff they were camping on.

With the help of the team's apoplectic attribute soul masters, Copperfield finally obtained the Star Dew Grass.

Late at night, in Copperfield's tent, he took out the Star Dew Grass that he had just obtained.

It was indeed exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient books.

The dark blue leaves of the grass were covered with specks of fluorescent colored fruits.

It was like a sky full of stars in the starry sky, hence the name Star Dew Grass.

As he held it in his hand and examined it carefully, he could even feel the gentle soul power undulations contained within it.

Copperfield placed the grass in front of him, carefully controlling a wave of soul power to envelop it.

The grass's original texture was extremely fragile. As a result, most of it grew on cliffs or places where ordinary lifeforms wouldn't be able to touch it.

When absorbing its energy, one had to be as gentle as possible. Otherwise, if the Star Dew Grass were to suffer an intense soul power impact during the absorption process, the medicinal effects would dissipate.

Ten minutes later, the process was finally safe. After all, Copperfield hadn't received any guidance from others. He could only slowly absorb the medicinal effects contained within the grass according to the methods recorded in the ancient books.

At this moment, the Star Dew Grass in front of him had already started to dry up. The energy contained within it had already been completely absorbed by Copperfield.

Copperfield rapidly calmed his heart down. Feeling the guidance of the energy contained within the grass, the soul power within his body slowly flowed towards his limbs and bones.

With the help of the grass, some of the meridians that his soul power had been unable to reach previously were gradually widened. The bottlenecks that he had encountered had also been broken through.

Finally, Copperfield managed to successfully break through to the power of two-star with comfort.

What Copperfield didn't know was that even with the help of the Star Dew Grass, it would still be extremely difficult for ordinary people to channel their soul power into their limbs and bones within a short period of time. However, Copperfield was able to do so with such ease.

It wasn't entirely due to Copperfield's outstanding talent. Instead, it was due to his father and Terrence giving Copperfield long-term guidance and training when Copperfield was still young.

After a long period of training, Copperfield's meridians were actually much stronger than ordinary people's, allowing his body to contain even more soul power.

After his breakthrough, Copperfield's body began to feel a deep wave of fatigue. Under this fatigue, even Copperfield's powerful willpower was unable to resist it, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

Although in the end, they had relied on Copperfield, allowing the dragon mercenary group to finally break free from the wolf pack, before they broke free, that long period of intense combat had completely exhausted everyone's strength.

However, under the intense desire to survive, everyone's explosive potential forcefully supported them through the battle.

Currently, the only people in the entire mercenary group who could forcefully control their sleepiness were their leader, Clyde, and the heavily protected medical personnel behind them.

Even if the other members wanted to help their leader keep watch, they were powerless. Fortunately, after the wolf pack retreated, they no longer showed up again. It was unknown if it was due to the influence of the harmonica.

The dragon mercenary group's campsite was no longer disturbed by other magical beasts. Even when Clyde was patrolling, he didn't feel any soul power fluctuations from the magical beasts in the surrounding area, as if all the magical beasts had instinctively started to avoid this area.

Even so, Clyde didn't let down his guard.

The next morning, Copperfield and the others woke up to see the deep bloodlines in Clyde's eyes from not sleeping...
