Chapter 30 (2/2)

Although these Dragon Horses were related to the Jiaolong, these creatures had been domesticated by the sect in the past thousands of years and were extremely well trained and obedient As if they were able to read the minds of the rider, they knew exactly when the rider required them to move or when to stop

Of course, these Dragon Horses were prepared by the sect primarily for the disciples in the outer and inner courts; for core disciples and elders, they would either take to the sky on their own or tareat deal of power compared to the outer courts, and of the sect's two most famous core disciples—Xu Linyun and Xiao Jianle

After a full day of nonstop galloping, the party had arrived around a thousand ht began to set in

”shi+xiong Hou, what… what are we doing on this trip?” Fang Xing asked shyly, putting on his timid act

Hou Qing replied with a faint smile, ”To eliminate monsters and demons, of course Are you scared?”

Fang Xing's tiny body shook, as though terrified outright ”What… what kind of monsters and demons?”

”A tier four beast, Python Toad You'd better be careful not to be sed up by it in one go; it's very strong You don't want to become beast stool, now do you!” a third-tiered ly replied instead

”Ahh…” Fang Xing's face paled, appearing visibly frightened by Qian's words

”Haha!” All of the h they were all just having so Xing could see a hint of tension; no one was as relaxed as they all appeared to be

”Uh Sword and the ten Spirit Stones after we kill the toad?” Fang Xing asked with caution, presenting the ireedy

Unexpectedly, Hou Qing looked at Fang Xing's face and slances and s a word

As if he had finally found the courage after being pro lifted his chest ”Fro without a good fight!”

Such shows of bravado while being so weak left everyone else in disdain At the sareedy uards by a bit, as thisto escape during the night

Before even the rise of the un yet another day of their journey In order to gain the trust and lower the guards of the adults, Fang Xing had painted thereedy yet naive child, one that was excited as if out on a field trip

At every break, Fang Xing would volunteer to refill the water, feed the horses, , all while politely consulting with all of the shi+xiong about questions he had on cultivation Naturally, as the adults answered his questions, they would tell stories of their own heroic achievee to show adht moment just as the stories reached their climax

Within the short three days of the journey, Fang Xing had become quite acquainted with the others, and the adults had also taken quite a liking to such a sensible ”little shi+di Fang” Of particular note was one of the third-tiered disciples Lyu San; every ti face, he would let out a soft sigh

On the third night, when Fang Xing appeared to be fast asleep beside the bonfire, Lyu quietly walked next to Hou Qing to whisper, ”shi+xiong Hou, is there really no other option?”

Hou Qing looked towards the sleeping boy whose breath was calm and consistent and who had a hint of sweetness that only a child could have Towards Lyu, he whispered back, ”There are no other options It is, after all, a tier four beast; with just the four of us, we stand no chance, especially if ere to meet it head on The only way is if we stick to our plan That ani boys with Qi in particular would be an exceptional delicacy We will have to use the kid to lure the animal out, then”
