Chapter 57: Mysterious Lake (1/2)

The two youngsters swiftly passed by the forest to the north.

Lin Xiao was only body training rank 6, but he was not any slower than Wenren Yu who was already body training rank 7. From the way it looked like, the two of them wouldn't take so much time to reach the lake.

”Is this place always this quiet?” Wenren Yu asked. He didn't even see a single beast even though they have been traveling for more than half an hour.

Tilting his head, Lin Xiao pondered. He already had this absurd thought since some time ago. After all, whenever he headed to the north lake, the forest was always so clear of beast. They all simply disappeared.

”Maybe they're afraid of me?”

”…”

Lin Xiao shrugged and pointed to the front. ”When we're near, let's rest a bit. We wouldn't be able to run properly without recovering our Qi.”

”Fine.”

This was the first time Wenren Yu passed through this area, but he already felt that it was really strange. When they were near the house back then, there were always so many beasts around because Lin Xiao somehow managed to hunt some every few days for their meal.

But in this part of the forest, the beasts disappeared? That sound suspicious.

”We're near.”

Lin Xiao stopped after some time. He could already see the lake from a distance away and didn't dare to get any closer. With agile movement, he climbed the nearby tree and sat on the thick branch.

Swish!

Behind him, Wenren Yu followed suit and furrowed his brows when he saw the three people near the lake. From their appearance, it was clear that they have been fighting against the beasts for a long time.

”Did they attract all the beasts?” Wenren Yu asked in weird tone.

”Oh, maybe?”

Wenren Yu looked at Lin Xiao and decided in his heart that it would be useless to talk about this matter with this ignorant brat. From what he knew regarding beasts, they would usually target the weaker ones and not the strong ones. How could it be possible that they were targeting the three foundation establishment elders and not targeting weak target like them.

He felt that the matter was bizarre.

Looking at the calm Lin Xiao, Wenren Yu suddenly had a thought. ”Lin Xiao.”

”What is it? Don't ask me to get closer to those three. Unless you wished for us to die in miserable manner, we better keep our distance.”

”Not that.” Wenren Yu rolled his eyes. He was not an idiot, alright? ”When you come here in the past, are there any beasts?”

”No.”

”Not even one?”

Lin Xiao shook his head. ”I don't encounter any beast when I'm approaching the lake in the past.”

No beasts?
