22 The First Encounter. (2/2)

In fact, he might even have the chance to revive his childhood in the Mortal World. As such, he couldn't wait to explore this brand new world.

” We are only a day away from the first town of the Sky Lion Kingdom. Before the sun goes down tomorrow, we will arrive at the Sky Lion Kingdom.”

”The Black Lightning Eagle is very vast and was able to cover a week's journey by even the fastest land-bound mount in a single day.” Answered Fang Lan with a respectful look on his face.

Just like them, the black lightning eagle was tired and hungry. As such, as soon it landed on the ground, it left them to look for food and won't come back until morning.

Just as the two of then were talking and drinking, suddenly, they heard the sound of dozens of footsteps from afar accompanied by the cracking sound of the broken branches.

” Young master look, there is a fire there!” Then, a voice suddenly rang out.

” Huh, let's go and see!”

At the same time, Ling Chen and Fang Lan could hear the sound of a group of people approaching them.

After a while, more than a dozen silhouettes appeared in front of them.

There was a young man around the age of fifteen while the rest were obviously guards. There were about fifteen of them. Ling Chen could see that the youngster's cultivation base was very weak, an early Martial Master. Furthermore, his cultivation base wasn't stable at all.

This kind of cultivation base was nothing in the Heavenly Demon Sect. Even the weakest of the outer sect disciple could kill that youngster with a single slap.

After the other party came, they're slightly taken aback when they saw Ling Chen and Fang Lan next to the campfire, leisurely drinking their wine as though they're in their living room instead of in the middle of the demon beast mountain range, a place filled with all kind of ferocious demon beasts and bandits.

”Good fragrant wine, I didn't know there was such a wine in our Sky Lion Kingdom!” The youth exclaimed as he was looking at Ling Chen with a weird expression on his face.

From what he could tell, Ling Chen was just a child not even over twelve years old, yet he was already drinking such a strong wine.

The guards behind him also nodded in agreement as they were staring at Ling Chen as well with the huge bottle of wine in his tiny hand.

They were also drooling and swallowing their saliva.

Can't blame them, this was the Heavenly Demon Venerable's wine. He only used that kind of wine when he's receiving an esteemed guest. However before he left for his mission, Ling Chen stole more than half his father's stash of wine. This type of wine was his favorite juice, he always gets a little tick when he drank them.

After a while, the youngster said to Fang Lan: ”Friend, it's already late at night. Can we borrow your fire and take a little break here.”

Obviously, he mistakenly thought that among the two people, Fang Lan was the leader.

Fang Lan looked towards Ling Chen.

Ling Chen nodded.

The youngster including the guards behind him startled. This was really unexpected, but he quickly reacted and looked at Ling Chen before saying: ” Many thanks little brother!”

So, the youngster sat next to the campfire, and the fifteen guards stood all around them, surveying the surroundings.

”The two are also going to Red Sand Valley for the black Fox cub as well. ” After sitting down, the youngster started asking.

”Right.” Answered Ling Chen without even knowing anything about that so-called black fox cub. However, he was really interested. Even though he was here for a mission, that wouldn't stop him from adventuring a little.

”Little brother, where did you buy this wine?” The youngster couldn't help but ask.

Ling Chen hearing this just laughed before saying: ” I stole it from my father.”

Upon hearing this, the youngster couldn't help but look at Ling Chen with a strange smile on his face. It seemed like this little child was a fellow debauchee.

After a while, Ling Chen offered the youngster a cup of wine. While they were drinking the two of them exchanged names and talked as though they were two good friends.

However, while they happily chatting, a harsh and evil voice rang out from the distance.

” Black Tiger, it seems like we hit the jackpot tonight. There seems to be a little prey ahead.”

At the same time, more than fifty muscular men in black surrounded them. Their bodies were emanating a strong evil aura. From one glance, one could tell that these men were used to killing and have killed their share of people.
