Chapter 13 - Building a Lair (1/2)

Xu Min skirted around the outskirts of the town for a few days; however, just as he decided on a location, he saw yet another town, much like the previous one that had been established This city see he City As soon as it cahtly as he turned back and moved towards the forest between the tns

Standing there, he looked to both sides Seeing that no one was around hi in a forest somehow caused Xu Min to quickly calm down Previously, he had been excited and worried about the many men he could come across in the forest, but now that he had finally entered the forest, he felt as though he had returned home

Walking with stealthy, silent steps, Xu Min ventured further and further into the forest,from the areas where the trees were sparse to the wilderness where even the sunlight was blocked by the trees above

As soon as he made it to the thicker parts of the woods, he instantly stopped, took his sword from off his back, and wielded it in his hand, ready to take on any beast or human that decided to stand in his way

As Xu Min looked around, his eyes didn’t look for a de for other hu at the treetops as he tried to deterhold After travelling through the forest for a few hours, Xu Min finally came across an area that lived up to his expectations

The trees were tall, growing into the sky Xu Min quickly sheathed his sword before he climbed to the top of these trees At the top, the branches and leaves eaved together, blocking the light fro at the trees on which he was currently seated, a satisfied se the branches He started tohis construction of the nest and ensuring that neither anyone from below nor none of the beasts that could fly could see him, Xu Min was finally satisfied

As soon as he had finished his lair, Xu Min sat down for athe sword by his side He took one deep breath after another, and the golden specks started to appear in the air around hied to enter a deep trance-like meditation

The sun was setting by the time Xu Min woke up fro his body that had been sitting still for quite so up, he picked his sword up and sheathed it on his back before he slowly clie tree in which he had created his lair He then decided to go looking for some dinner

The light was already di around the forest Even the final rays of sunshi+ne were unable to break through the heavy canopy created by the trees that were close by one another The tree tops were blocking out even the rays of the rising moon

Xu Min looked around for a moment; however, he quickly found that within the dense forest, the night descended quickly As the night descended, sounds of the demon beasts increased, and in the forest, bonfires were lit as

Seeing this, Xu Min quickly retreated back to his lair Although he was here to fight deht as they had the advantage when it caht vision was definitely better than that of a huood of a view of the night as a demon beast

Moving back to his lair, Xu Min picked so with a bottle of wine that he enjoyed while lying down in his nest

Xu Min relaxed for a h the forest he had lived in before had neither as many demon beasts nor as many humans as this one contained, the scent and the feel was exactly like what he had been used to For a ia as he remembered the forest that had been his world for two years

While thinking about this, he once again reo through a whole night without thinking about the Zhong Faer lying down in the nest and relaxing Instead, he sat up again and started to cultivate, allowing the golden specks to replace the other specks within his body He beca

Being at the top of the trees, he was able to see the ht that shone onto the young olden specks in the air instantly dissipating into nothingness

Seeing theappeared in Xu Min’s heart as he slowly left his lair When he landed on the ground, he looked up towards the nest, satisfied to see that it was completely impossible for anyone to notice it

Even though Xu Min was cultivating, his aura was not large enough to reveal his location to any hu above the forest should be unable to sense him as well

Satisfied to see that his lair was of range froh the forest, his keen eyes constantly alert as he expected an attack co his way at any moment

His alertness soon paid off as he noticed movements to the side, and by reflex, his hands twisted the sword, allowing it to block the two horns that were aiht at his stomach

The force behind the horns was nothing to look down on, and Xu Min felt that he was tossed backwards as his eyes instantly rested upon the beast in front of him
