Travelling there was no doubt that it was very boring.
This was the first time the original owner and Ling Xiao left their Kata City and entered a wider world. At first, he was excited, but soon the excitement was wiped away by the identical scenery outside.
The endless rocks, the Savage Beast wandering around the caravan that did not dare to approach, all made Ling Xiao feel bored. And because there was someone protecting the team, he simply began to cultivate.
In the process of absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, his cultivation level was inevitably exposed to the crowd.
After finding out that Ling Xiao was actually a First Level of Martial Soldier for the first time, the way they looked at Ling Xiao was no different from looking at a monster.
Ling Xiao smiled shyly, "I'm too shy."
What he said was indeed the truth. Because the original owner hadn't eaten enough for a long time and didn't wear warm clothes, his stature was extremely skinny. He was obviously 15 years old, yet he actually looked like a 12 or 13 year old child.
Hearing his shameless words, Gayaro, who was lying on his shoulder, sneered, "You didn't do it on purpose."
Ling Xiao said lightly: "As long as I can avoid trouble, I will do my best to avoid it. What's wrong with that?"
After leaving the Kata City, Ling Xiao did not need to worry about attracting attention by exposing his strength, as the strength of the First Level of Martial Soldier could also reduce the possibility of guards killing employers and stealing goods from them.
Only then did Galen and the others retract their presumptuous gazes and silently muttered to themselves. I knew it, how could there be such a young warrior? If there really was such a person, then wouldn't it mean that they, too, had lived for so many years inside the Savage Beast?
People are like this. When things are beyond their comprehension, they will find excuses to not show their incompetence.
But no matter what, Ling Xiao was a genuine First Level of Martial Soldier. Gaylen and the others appeared to be even more dedicated when escorting him. This was something Ling Xiao did not expect.
What's more, there was Gayaro whose strength was still unknown.
Ling Xiao had never been able to figure out what kind of Savage Beast Gayaro was. It was obvious that he did not have a rank, but when ordinary Savage Beast saw him, they would run far away with a fearful look on their face.
Gayaro grew up very fast. A month ago, he was still a newborn cub, but now he could hunt small prey on his own.
As his strength increased, so did Gayaro's appetite. After finding out that it was already difficult for Ling Xiao to bear his food, Gayaro complained that Ling Xiao was not a qualified feeder and started hunting everywhere.
He ate a lot and grew up quickly as well. Therefore, when Gayaro landed on Ling Xiao's shoulder, he shook with the Steerpike Beast under him. For the sake of the Steerpike Beast, Ling Xiao threw the furry hair that could already practice flying to Gayaro.
On the Martial Arts Continent, once night fell, there would be many strange Savage Beast that would rush out to look for food. Therefore, Ling Xiao and the others were on the road during the day and resting at night.
This night was no exception. Galen and one of his companions were keeping watch outside their sleeping place. Ling Xiao leaned against a large rock and soon lost consciousness.
Just as he was about to fall asleep, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, waking him up.
Ling Xiao sat up and realized that the others were also awakened by the loud noise.
"What's wrong?"
"Has a Savage Beast attacked?"
They asked one after another.
Gaylen had already set off in search of movement the moment the voice rang out, motioning for his companions to protect the safety of their employers before he left.
The roars of the ferocious beasts came closer and closer, but after getting a certain distance, they stopped coming closer.
Fortunately, Gaylen's team had experienced countless life and death trials, so they had a tacit understanding with each other. The remaining people formed a circle around Allens and Ling Xiao, alertly observing their surroundings.
Galen was back soon enough. Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, he did not keep them in suspense and directly said: "There are a few people trapped by the Savage Beast over there. Not good. Let's find a place to hide first. "
With so many people here, it was obviously impossible for them to be no match for the beast, but the security of the employer was their top priority. Since the beast was not here for them, they naturally could not fight it head on.
As they were all members of the Martial Cultivator, they all cared about their lives, and no one wanted to stand out and help the group of people that were being besieged by the Savage Beast. It was not that they were cold by nature, but that this was the way of the world.
Just as the group of people were about to pack up their belongings and find a safe place to hide, a light dragon roar rang out from over there, followed by a flame dragon soaring into the sky with a grand sound.
Allens's expression changed the moment he saw the fire dragon, "Could it be them?"
"Is it someone you know?" Ling Xiao saw that Allens's expression was a little off so he asked.
"This is the distress signal for my friend's Longxing Trading Company. If the person who gave this signal is in trouble, those of us nearby, those within our reach, it would be best for us to lend a helping hand." The meaning behind his words was that he would have to go over and take a look, and whether or not he would be of any help.
Since Allens had said so, Ling Xiao naturally wanted to go with him. However, it was Gaylen who found it difficult, "Mr. Allens, your operation this time isn't within the scope of our agreement."
Allens wasn't an unreasonable person, so he said: "Sorry for causing trouble for you guys. When we reach our destination, I will increase the agreed price by 30%. Now, I must go over and take a look." The commotion over there was getting quieter and quieter, and he wondered if those people were still alive.
When he got closer, he discovered that there were two or three people lying on the ground in a mess. Only one person on the field was barely standing, confronting the Level One Savage Beast.
It was a Savage Beast that was almost as tall as Ling Xiao's thigh. It had a slender body with four limbs on the ground. Its red fur shimmered in the dim night sky.
"Crimson Smoke Beast!" Allens exclaimed.
At the same time, Gayaro also started to give Ling Xiao the background of the Savage Beast.
Red Smoke Beast, a level one Savage Beast, had a light red body color. Its movements were extremely fast, but its attack power was not long-lasting, so it would often lay in ambush, using its speed to ambush its prey.
At this moment, Ling Xiao already saw a raised corpse beside the group of people with his sharp eyes, it didn't seem to belong to a human. It seemed that this group of people were really unlucky. After finally killing a Savage Beast, another Red Smoke Beast came out.
After listening to Gayaro's science app, Ling Xiao suddenly became interested. How was the [Level 1] Savage Beast compared to his own [Steel Steps]?
Just as he was thinking this, the situation on the battlefield changed. The Crimson Smoke Beast bent down and gathered its strength in its four limbs. It chose a suitable time to strike and suddenly attacked the prey that had suffered heavy casualties.
At this moment, Long Yirann's heart was filled with endless despair.
Only he knew that, even though he was still holding on, he was in fact at the end of his tether.
As the youngest son of the family, he had always been living under the care of his parents and older brother. If it wasn't for the sudden change in the family, he wouldn't have come out at such a young age to run a business.
Since his father couldn't stop his son from leaving the house, he used his last bit of connections and financial resources to hire a few Qi Cultivating Stage guards for him.
Originally, everything went smoothly, but they did not expect that on the way back, they would actually encounter a Savage Beast that was about to enter the first level!
After fighting to the death, a few Qi Disciple level Martial Cultivator s finally killed the unknown Savage Beast. However, at this time, another Red Smoke Beast appeared! It was different from the Savage Beast that he had killed earlier, this was a genuine level one Savage Beast. Even though its power was slightly weaker, it was still not something that a level four Qi Disciple like him could fight against!
Am I going to die here today?
He couldn't accept it! He couldn't accept it! In this moment of life or death, Long Yirann thought of his father who was bedridden with illness, his mother who was weak, and his big brother who was dispirited.
The Red Smoke Beast was getting closer and closer! Long Yirann could even see its mouth dripping with saliva.
I'm going to die.
Long Yirann closed his eyes, but the pain did not come. He opened his eyes and saw an extremely thin and small figure forcibly blocking the front of the Crimson Smoke Beast!
