Chapter 77: Complaining is so exhausting.

Xiao Yan looked at the ice shards beneath his feet, unable to recover his senses for a long time.

What happened to being on par with a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level)? How come you vanished with just one punch from me?

Xiao Yan couldnt understand. He had been prepared to land a few more punches, but unexpectedly, this Crimson Ice Snake was so fragile that it disappeared in an instant.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

(Well maybe this Crimson Ice Snake hasnt fully grown yet. Its probably only at the level of a First-Grade Magical Beast.)

Xiao Yan thought to himself, finding a somewhat acceptable reason for himself.

Meanwhile, within the ring, Yao Chen covered her face and had no energy left to complain.

There was no doubt that both the Crimson Ice Snake that attacked Xiao Yixian and the one besieged by the mercenary group were already mature Second-Grade Magical Beasts!

Do you really consider yourself a fool? They couldnt defeat the Crimson Ice Snake even with several Dou Zhe (Battle Practitioner, 2nd Level) s, including a Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level), struggling to take it down, yet you actually thought it was a First-Grade Magical Beast?

Not only do you consider yourself a fool, but you also continue to face danger without any self-awareness. Your thought process is truly neurotic.

Its fine, do as you wish

Yao Chen couldnt be bothered to correct Xiao Yan anymore. At least it would keep him vigilant against enemies at all times.

However, this overly modest attitude was really annoying.

Yao Chen didnt want to correct Xiao Yans misconceptions, and Xiao Yan himself found a plausible explanation, so he didnt dwell on it any further. He stretched his arms, turned around, bypassed the stunned mercenaries and Xiao Yixian, who was closely watching him, and approached the Heavy Black Ruler stuck in the ground. With a light motion, he effortlessly pulled it out and sighed as he looked at the decapitated remains of the Crimson Ice Snake.

(You two, what were you thinking, wandering around before even reaching adulthood?)

Yao Chen couldnt hold it in any longer. She now felt a sense of pity for these two Crimson Ice Snakes.

Rest in peace. I pray that in your next life, you wont encounter someone as mentally challenged as Xiao Yan.

Thank you for helping me just now, an ethereal voice sounded from behind Xiao Yan, and he turned his head slightly to see Xiao Yixian standing behind him, thanking him.

Xiao Yan slung the Heavy Black Ruler back onto his back and smiled lightly in response.

Youre welcome. I just happened to see it, and besides, I owe Boss Yao a favor, so its only natural for me to help you.

Do you know Boss Yao? Xiao Yixian was slightly taken aback, and Xiao Yan nodded.

I made a deal with him to come to the mountains to find medicinal herbs.

Xiao Yan briefly explained, and a hint of understanding flashed in Xiao Yixians eyes.

Young man, youre really impressive. Truly, heroes emerge among the young.

But are those Second-Grade Magical Beasts a problem for you? Are they?

!

These people struggled even with a single Second-Grade Magical Beast. Besides guiding them, they would only be a burden! You can easily deal with those Second-Grade Magical Beasts all by yourself!

!

Ah I cant take it anymore Im so tired!

Yao Chen had never imagined that even complaining could be so exhausting.

However, regardless of Yao Chens inner complaints, Xiao Yan had already joined Mu Lis team. After all, with them guiding him, he would be able to reach the destination as soon as possible. It was better than blindly relying on the map.

The group of people strolled through the jungle, with Xiao Yan walking at the back. Xiao Yixian, with her hands behind her back, came to his side and asked with a slight frown, When did you meet Boss Yao?

Just this morning, Xiao Yan answered truthfully and handed the two maps that Boss Yao gave him to Xiao Yixian.

Since Boss Yao and Xiao Yixian were family, and the maps werent anything valuable, there was no harm in showing them to her.

Xiao Yixian opened the maps and glanced at them for a moment. Then, she widened her eyes in astonishment.

Werent these the medicinal herbs that Boss Yao had been looking for all along? Its worth noting that even the Wolf Head Mercenary Company refused to take this mission, yet Xiao Yan dared to take it on his own?

I have to say, do you know that Xiao Yixian started but paused abruptly.

Hmm? Whats wrong?

Seeing Xiao Yixian suddenly stop, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow in confusion. After a while, Xiao Yixian reluctantly returned the maps to him.

Its nothing.

Xiao Yixian responded like this, feeling helpless inside.

Considering the moves Xiao Yan displayed just now, the Second-Grade Magical Beasts around these medicinal herbs surely wouldnt pose a threat to him. Why was she bothering herself with it?

Just as Xiao Yixian was thinking this way, Xiao Yan spoke up.

But speaking of it, this mission is indeed troublesome.

Xiao Yan looked at the maps in his hand, furrowing his brows.

With so many Second-Grade Magical Beasts, I also feel that I wouldnt be able to handle them alone, which is why I decided to join the team.

I see Xiao Yixian casually responded, but then suddenly turned her head and looked at Xiao Yan in shock and confusion.

What did he just say???
