C38

In the Mercenary Tavern that was right next to the Baka Mountains, a special guest had arrived.

It was a young man. There was a scar across his face and his expression was cold. On his shoulder was a gigantic half adult Turtledove Eagle.

The young man walked to the bar and sat down. Without waiting for him to speak, the bartender, who was mixing wine, stopped and passed the young man a cup of wine.

"You're here?" As he spoke, he looked at the Turtledove Eagle on the youth's shoulder with envy.

Savage Beast s were usually hard to tame. Only an extremely small number of them who were tamed since they were young and had a gentle nature were able to get close to others.

The guest at the side was annoyed. "Hey, I clearly came here first. Why are you mixing wine for him first!?"

The bartender laughed. "He's better than you."

The first customer had a fierce-looking face and was almost twice the size of the skinny young man. He laughed in disbelief as he punched towards the young man.

The punch stopped a centimeter away from the young man's face, unable to get any closer.

The youth nonchalantly waved his hand and the incomparably tough burly man let out a painful howl – his hand had been snapped off by an invisible force!

The bartender took the gold coin from the young man and lightly flicked it: "I have been sending people to help you keep an eye out. In the past two months, there has been no news about the person you mentioned and the Savage Beast that came out of the Baka Mountains."

The young man, who was also Long Yirann, was expressionless, but he was wailing in his heart: "Where the hell did Brother Ling and Boss Gayaro go? Why hasn't there been any news for two whole years? "

As for the other possibility, he had deliberately neglected to mention it.

"Thank you." He finished the liquor in one breath, wiped his mouth, and was about to leave when he was stopped by a slightly hesitant voice, "Easily? Ao Xiang? "

Ao Xiang's reaction was much faster than Long Yirann's, he was only stunned for a moment before he flew to the side of Master Ling Xiao, whom he had not seen for a long time. Who was the person beside his master? Why did it smell Boss Gayaro's scent from his body?

Long Yirann was also very confused, but he did not have the Savage Beast's radar like Ao Xiang did, so he immediately blurted out: "Brother Ling, in the past two years we haven't seen each other, when did you produce such a big son?"

Gayaro rolled his eyes at him.

Logically speaking, it should have been a long time since they met, but even if he had hugged his head and cried, it shouldn't have been as if he was looking at his enemy. Long Yirann rubbed his nose, and under Ling Xiao's bright smile and Gayaro's murderous gaze, he told them what had happened in the past two years.

Even though he had a lot of experience, he could only summarize it as cultivation, fighting, and finding people.

"It's been hard on you." Ling Xiao said gently after hearing Long Yirann's short statement.

"Hey, what's there to be bothered about? Isn't it all cultivation? Brother Ling, you guys have all suffered greatly. Boss Gayaro has become like this …"

Just as they were talking, a small loudspeaker on Long Yirann's waist started beeping.

Long Yirann patted his head and walked out of the tavern while explaining to Ling Xiao.

It turned out that Long Yirann had joined a mercenary group to get better resources for cultivation. By completing all kinds of missions, he had obtained alchemy weapons and money.

Right now, his team, Feng Feiyun, was preparing for the mission and had arranged to meet at the designated location. Ling Xiao and Gayaro were naturally with him.

When they arrived, everyone in Team Feiyun was already there. Long Yirann proudly introduced: "This is my big brother, Ling Xiao. He is very powerful. Can you let him join this operation?"

A man with an arrogant expression sneered, "That's true. A Second Order Warrior like you is indeed very powerful, isn't it?"

Hearing his words, two people in the group also covered their mouths as they laughed. It was obvious that they were not friendly.

Long Yirann's expression changed and he said angrily: "Bobby, what do you mean? We are all warriors, what qualifications do you have to look down on others? "

The man named Bobby wanted to refute again, but the leader interrupted him. "A Second Warrior is also a fighting strength that cannot be underestimated. "But this child …"

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I will be in charge of his safety. I definitely won't hold everyone back."

Before departing, Long Yirann pulled Ling Xiao to the side and asked, "Brother Ling, I didn't think everything through. If your strength hasn't fully recovered, then you don't have to force yourself to stay with me." There was no mockery or suspicion in his eyes, only worry.

Ling Xiao felt his heart warm as he whispered: "Don't worry, it's just a trick."

Long Yirann, who got an accurate reply, immediately became confident and looked at Bobby with disdain.

Team Feiyun's mission this time was to obtain a fresh level two herb, Snake shaped Grass. Snake shaped plants were very special and had the ability to travel back and forth under the ground. What was even more troubling was that if one wanted to harvest snake shaped plants, they would have to pass by a swamp that was inhabited by mutated moths.

They set off through the forest and arrived near a muddy swamp. The captain threw out an elaborate rope and tied them up one by one, even Ao Xiang had tied a piece of it onto his claws. After packing up properly, the captain was the first to walk down into the swamp. The others followed closely behind.

Halfway there, countless mutated moths the size of human faces launched their fierce attacks. They were so densely packed that they seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The people of team Feiyun all brought out their unique skills to kill these moths. The most eye-catching was Bobby.

He summoned a nine-section whip, then activated his inner strength. The strongest force he could muster turned into a flame shape and wrapped around the whip. As the flame flared, the length of the nine-section whip increased by more than ten times.

As the person with the highest power in the team, once Bobby used his power as a sixth stage Martial Cultivator, killing moths would only take a few minutes. But apparently, he didn't want to work so hard. The long whip only cared for the safety of his surroundings, and he even intentionally chased the moth away from Long Yirann.

These mutated moths at least had the strength of Qi Disciple level 5 or 6. In addition to the large number of them, Long Yirann could not help but feel frustrated.

Ling Xiao didn't rush to make a move. Instead, after observing Long Yirann's strategy, he nodded his head in satisfaction, "Yiran, retreat."

Since Long Yirann wanted to fight back in front of his discordant companion, Ling Xiao didn't want to spoil his fun. Therefore, the moment he started, his attack was extremely powerful, covering at least three kilometers of the Rushing Thunder Spell. This was something that he slowly comprehended after witnessing the fight between the Rushing Thunder Beast and the Great Martial Master experts.

An enormous amount of inner strength flowed out in a steady stream, causing the other members of the team to look over in surprise.

At this moment, the ball of light in Ling Xiao's hand became bigger and bigger. Finally, it left his hand and immediately divided into tens of thousands of tiny lightning bolts, forming a dense net of light that quickly enveloped all of the mutated moths in the swamp. When the light dissipated, those arrogant moths had already turned into charred corpses.

The surprise in their eyes turned into disbelief. One of them could not help but ask: "Martial Cultivator, may I ask, what realm is this warrior at?"

He only came back to his senses after asking. It was taboo to ask about other people's martial arts cultivation. If one had bad temper, it was possible that one would be pressed to death on the spot.

Seeing Ling Xiao smile without saying anything, he then looked away resentfully.

To the side, Bobby said with an ugly expression, "Humph, such a small trick. Such a method of attack would not even have the chance to be used by a true expert. So, what's there to be proud of? "

Long Yirann sneered: "What kind of moves can you use when you meet a master? Your whip? "

The smell of gunpowder between the two was so thick that the captain quickly came out to smooth things over and lead the group to the other side of the swamp.

After some tossing and turning, he finally got the target of the mission. Long Yirann took the opportunity to suggest the idea of leaving the team on the way back.

The captain tried to urge him to stay a few times, but seeing that Long Yirann was adamant, he agreed.

Looking at the few of them leaving, Bobby had a resentful look on his face. He only allowed himself to mock and ridicule others, and never allowed others to treat him like this. Today, Ling Xiao and Long Yirann's actions had completely made him hate them.

However, the two of them didn't care what he thought. Not long ago, Long Yirann had to take on a mission on his own to go to Tianqing City, so Ling Xiao and Gayaro naturally went along as well.
