C22 (1/2)

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.
