The moment the blindfold was covered, all activity in the surroundings seemed to have disappeared. No matter how he tried, he could only sense a boundless darkness.

Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He remembered the dark and cloudless days in the Land of Void. The darkness in the distance opened its mouth like a hideous face and tried to swallow him.

Just when he was unable to take a step forward due to this, Gayaro's soft but powerful voice sounded in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm by your side."

This simple sentence magically calmed down Ling Xiao's nervousness.

Such a voice resounded in his most helpless and dark moment, as if it was a ray of light that illuminated his life. Now the voice would stay with him and would not leave him for a long time.

The thought of him not being alone immediately comforted Ling Xiao. His feelings of fear and weakness were once again retracted. He steeled his heart and followed the fluffy guide, carefully walking towards the direction of the Golden Flower.

One step, two steps, three steps. Ling Xiao didn't know how far he had walked, but he felt the furry hair that was flying in front stopped.

Ling Xiao immediately removed his eye patch and his senses returned to normal. In front of him, a palm-sized Golden Flower flower bloomed brilliantly.

Ling Xiao was overjoyed. Just as he was about to get close to the Golden Flower to remove its stamen, suddenly, the howl of a Savage Beast came from behind, accompanied by a violent gust of wind. If he was hit, even if he didn't die, he would at least lose half his life.

Ling Xiao didn't retreat, but advanced instead and rolled on the ground. The palm wind brushed past his head, leaving a deep crater on the ground beside him. In this short amount of time, the others had already taken off their eye masks and joined in the battle.

Ling Xiao no longer looked at the battle situation over there, and directly used Ling Xiao to walk, using his fastest speed in his life to rush in front of the Golden Flower. He opened the medicine bag that was specially used to store the flowers, and directly dug out the whole flower along with its roots and leaves.

In the instant that Ling Xiao dug out the Golden Flower, the air seemed to have become quiet for a moment.

Immediately after, the gluttonous beast flew into a rage when it saw its beloved flower that it had protected for a long time being sneaked away by a hateful little thief.

It lifted its head and let out a long roar towards the sky. Accompanying its roar, its body also gradually began to change. Its eyes were bloodshot because of the bloodlust, and every muscle on its body was growing stronger.

It went berserk!

The strength of the Brute that had entered berserk mode had more than tripled compared to before, and its movement speed had also increased rapidly. Loong Yizhu and Long Yirann, who had teamed up to fight him, were immediately defeated. They were pushed to the ground by a gust of wind from the palm and could not get up for a long time.

The Brute ignored the two of them, and now all of its attention was on the thief who stole the Golden Flower.

Ling Xiao, who had attracted the entire hatred of the Brute, saw that the situation was not going well, and threw the bag containing the Golden Flower to Gayaro. With a flash of light, the Golden Flower's Qi completely disappeared.

This action of his undoubtedly completely angered the Brute. The Brute ran towards Ling Xiao with angry steps, causing the earth to tremble. Ling Xiao couldn't avoid the attack anymore, so he could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

Time passed second by second, the more Brute fought, the stronger they became. Ling Xiao, Loong Yizhu, Long Yirann and Allens fought alternately, but they did not have any effective way to break through the defense of the Brute, the battle was very difficult.

Seeing the few human worms still alive, the Brute became impatient and swung its fists that could shatter hundreds of kilograms of boulders. The others lost their fighting strength one after another, while Ling Xiao, who had the highest cultivation level, was still struggling to hold on.

Gayaro was just watching from the sidelines.

This was a battle between Ling Xiao alone, and it was the only way for him to reach the peak of martial arts. He could not help him, nor would he help him. He was the only one who could walk this path. Gayaro could only stay by his side, never leaving.

But the other furry cub didn't think of that much. Due to the delicious food and good sleep, the young of the Turtledove Eagle had grown quite a bit these past few days.

Seeing how many times Ling Xiao was attacked by the Brute, the cub could not take it anymore. In its heart, Ling Xiao who had the aura of his mother was the closest person to him in the world. Even Boss Gayaro couldn't compare to him.

The young cub let out a young yet imposing cry. It was unknown where it got the courage from, but its feathers were erect as it flew towards the Brute in anger. Due to its small size, no one present noticed its existence. When the Brute suddenly covered its eyes and howled, Ling Xiao and the others realized that this newborn calf was not afraid of tigers and had pecked its eyes blind.

Without an eye, the Brute could no longer control its direction. With its huge body becoming a burden, Ling Xiao and Allens worked hard to grind the Brute to death.

Ling Xiao panted heavily, and the cub returned to its usual innocent and cute appearance, acting cute and asking for comfort in front of Ling Xiao. It did not seem to have the berserk look of that savage beast pecking at Savage Beast at all.

Ling Xiao patted its head as if it was rewarded, and muttered to himself for a moment: "Since you are a Turtledove Eagle, then I will give you the name Ao Xiang. I hope that you can fly freely like your mother."

The cub who finally had a name was immediately overjoyed and flew up and down.

It was said that after the destruction, a shocking life and death battle would occur with the Brute. Ling Xiao successfully broke through to become a Second Warrior. After all, they were going to the lair of a Level One Peak Savage Beast. The stronger they were, the higher the chances of them surviving.

All three of them had been severely injured in the previous battle. He was not in a hurry to head to the Plated Beetle King's cave. Instead, he took a medicine to heal his injuries and meditate to slowly recover.

By the time the three of them finished resting, the sky was already completely dark. The Martial Arts Continent at night was exceptionally dangerous, so they found a safe place to rest for the night.

The next day, Ling Xiao, who was not far from the Plated Beetle King, said to Allens and the Long Brothers, "I will go in to check on the situation. You guys wait for me outside."

The three of them looked at each other. Loong Yizhu was grateful, but also worried, "You have to take care of yourself. Safety was of utmost importance. "Hateful that we are too weak to accompany you in."

The Plated Beetle King was a peak rank 1 beast, and was much stronger than normal Seventh Level Martial Soldier. It was not easy to get close to. After the previous round of training, Allens and the Long brothers' strength had increased, but they were still not close to the Plated Beetle King level and were afraid that they would be discovered before they could even get close.

In order not to alert the enemy, they discussed and had the strongest and fastest Ling Xiao investigate while the other three stayed outside to help.
