Chapter 545: Entering the Flame Lions canyon (1/2)

As he led the carriages deeper inside the 'Flame Lion's canyon', Ying Gui started to check his surroundings with unconcealed fear in his eyes, clearly afraid that they would be attacked again.

Although Shun Long was probably stronger than his entire previous group of guards combined, Ying Gui still didn't feel safe in this place that was rumored to have even rank 6 magic beasts, that were as powerful as Dao King realm experts.

After taking a few breaths to calm himself down, he turned around and looked at Shun Long who was still sitting on top of the first carriage, before he asked cautiously

''Young master Shun Long... should we find a place to stop and rest for a few hours? There are many magic beasts in this place... and I'm afraid that young master Shun Long isn't in optimal condition to fight.''

Shun Long opened his eyes and thought seriously for a few moments after hearing Ying Gui's cautious suggestion, before he actually nodded his head and said

''You are right. It's better to rest for a few hours before we head deeper inside.''

Just as Ying Gui was about to ask if they should turn around and set up camp near the entrance of the canyon so that they won't have to face the attacks of any magic beasts who lived inside the canyon, Shun Long's next words instantly chilled his heart to the core as they destroyed any such notions from his mind.

''Although we should find a place to rest, we will do it deeper inside the canyon. Staying close to the entrance is too dangerous right now. You don't know if those 2 are the only members that that Su family sent to this place, or if there are more of them on the way.''

Ying Gui immediately understood what Shun Long meant, causing his heart to freeze from the chill he felt.

Indeed, if there were more members of the Su family on their way to this place, or if more of them simply came to search for Su Dong and Su Bao and only found Ying Gui's camp there, the scene that would follow after that wasn't hard for Ying Gui to imagine.

Even if Shun Long could somehow preserve his own life against more members of the Su family, it wasn't certain if Ying Gui himself would be able to escape from a second certain death scenario.

Nodding his head with a serious look, the fat merchant turned around and led the 'Ironhide cows' deeper inside the 'Flame Lion's canyon' without any delay. Right now, Ying Gui's fear of the Su family was hundreds of times bigger than his fear for the magic beasts living inside the canyon.

A little more than an hour later, Shun Long and Ying Gui stopped the carriages in an isolated place, not too far away from the main path of the canyon.
