Episode 3: The Beast Mountain Range Chapter 23: A Girl Called Alice (Up)

On the way back, the magical beasts encountered were getting weaker and weaker, and when Linley stepped into the outer regions, the magical beasts he encountered were almost all level three and four, and weren’t threatening at all. But even so, Linley didn’t dare to completely let his guard down.

Drinkwater and Linley walked side by side, only Drinkwater had always had worries in the bottom of his heart. Nowadays, Linley’s entire person had a calm and collected demeanor, but when it came to striking, there was no mercy. That pair of eyes also had the indifference of rejecting others.

Derinkelwalt remembered that before setting foot in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Linley’s gaze contained sincerity, and it was very easy to trust people.

After deliberating in his mind for a long time, Derinkelwalt finally transmitted a voice from his soul, “Linley.”

Linley, who was ostentatiously traveling through the mountains and forests, couldn’t help but turn his head and look at Derlin Corvette in confusion, “Grandpa Derlin, is there something wrong?”

Derin Corvette nodded and solemnly said, “Linley, before entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I had reminded you that people’s hearts are separated from their stomachs, and that you can’t easily trust others, so that you can keep a wary eye on them.”

Linley nodded his head and said, “Grandpa Delin, you’re right, it’s true that others can’t be trusted easily, if I had trusted you earlier, Grandpa Delin, I’m afraid that the abdomen wouldn’t have gotten this stab.”

Derlin Corvette shook his head and said, “Although you can’t easily trust others, but you can’t be overly vigilant either. Thinking that you are like this now, how will you be able to get along with others in the future? Remember, you can’t treat others too coldly, and you probably can’t be too trusting either. Trust, is gradually built up over a long period of time in communication, don’t be easily swayed by the other person’s words.”

Linley was very intelligent and had read a lot of books both at home and at the Ernst Academy, and by Grandpa Delin’s words, his heart somewhat understood. But after two months of brutal life, that kind of human cruelty Linley had already seen very clearly, it was really hard to make him trust people.

“Grandpa Delin, I understand.”

Linley nodded and said.

Delinquent sighed in his heart, but Delinquent was also thankful in his heart, “Luckily, Linley still has the little shadow mouse ‘Bebe’ with him, as well as some of his good friends from the Ernst Academy. He at least won’t become overly cold.”

Drinkwater could still remember a white-robed man who had been a Saint Realm powerhouse in the P’ung Empire with him thousands of years ago when the P’ung Empire still existed; that white-robed man had been a powerful Sword Saint, as well as a person who was withdrawn to the limit.

“Grandpa Delin, what do you think father’s reaction will be when he discovers so many magical beast cores?”

Linley suddenly looked towards Derin Corvette and inquired with a smile, and at this time Linley’s eyes were filled with longing in anticipation of receiving praise from his father.

It was like a child who had gotten good grades on an exam and was looking forward to his father’s praise.

“Linley, are you going to give all of these magical beast cores to your father?”

Drinkwater inquired with a smile.

Linley nodded his head and said, “That’s for sure, these magical beast crystal cores are worth more than seventy thousand gold coins, and all I need is not to starve, a few dozen gold coins a year would be enough. And father, he manages the entire family and has to afford Little Walden’s tuition, of course these magical beast crystal cores should be given to father.”

Linley didn’t want to sell the magic beast crystal cores himself, after all, in terms of buying and selling, he couldn’t have any experience at all, and was afraid that he wouldn’t even know if he was cheated.

“Haha, I’m sure your father will jump for joy.”

Delinquent Corvette said with a big smile.

Linley couldn’t help but grin, immediately increasing his speed along the return path.

Third and fourth level magical beasts Linley was too lazy to kill, quickly and nimbly traveling through the midst of the magical beast mountain ranges, when Linley leapt over a small stream he heard intense magical beast roars as well as intense human shouts in the distance of the mountains and forests.

“Huh? Those who dare to come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range are at the very least rank five warriors, while the outer regions are usually rank three and four magical beasts. How could the fighting be so intense?”

Linley was somewhat puzzled.

In the inner perimeter of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, those places where level five and six magical beasts were all over the place, and even level seven magical beasts would occasionally appear might have this kind of gruesome killing occur, but the outer perimeter generally rarely had this kind of thing happen, and the battles would all go very quickly.

With a single stomp of his legs, he leapt up seven or eight meters, easily jumping between the large trees, and in just a moment he arrived at the battlefield.

Standing on a tree branch, Linley quietly looked over.

He saw two teenagers and two young girls fiercely fighting with a bloodthirsty war pig, and one of the teenagers in white battle armor was loudly shouting and directing the battle: ”Eldest, don’t run around, protect Alice. I’ll guide this stupid pig, Nia, don’t panic, shoot arrows at the vitals.”

These four people were obviously very inexperienced, and even panicked when they encountered danger, with only the leading white battle-armored teenager appearing more stable.

“These four people are really bold, that white battle-armored teenager should have the strength of a level 5 warrior, but the other three, at most, have the strength of a level 4.”

Linley shook his head in his heart, the other three hadn’t even reached level five before coming to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, they were really bold.

The other red-haired teenager also shouted out in panic, “Boss Karan, didn’t you say that the outskirts were only level three and four magical beasts, this is a level five magical beast.”

The teenager called ‘Kahlan’, the leader of the four, was also filled with helplessness in his heart, as a rank five warrior, he brought his three good friends just to test in the outermost area of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there shouldn’t be any danger, but he didn’t expect that he would encounter a rank five magical beast.

“Poof!”

More than ten Ground Surge Guns suddenly emerged from around the Bloodthirsty War Hog, even as three of them stabbed at the Bloodthirsty War Hog’s body, but they were chipped off by the Bloodthirsty War Hog’s thick skin.

“Roar,” the Bloodthirsty War Hog immediately roared and looked towards the only magician among the four before charging over at a fiery speed. When the Bloodthirsty War Hog sprinted, its aura was too appalling, plus the flames that erupted from its nostrils from time to time. All of a sudden, it caused the other teenager to panic.

“Duck, Alice, you quickly dodge.”

Karan shouted.

The girl called Alice had long blonde hair and a pair of eyes as hazy as a misty dream, at this time Alice also panicked and tried to flee, but the Bloodthirsty War Hog was after all a fifth level magical beast, although its intelligence was not high, it was still much stronger than a wild beast.

The bloodthirsty war pig rushed after Alice.

Seeing the bloodthirsty war pig rushing towards herself, Alice was terrified to run away quickly, but she was tripped by the foot of the vine, the whole person fell a heel, and then turned around to look again, glaring at a pair of red-eyed bloodthirsty war pig rushed over like a madman, with Alice’s weak body, I’m afraid that by the bloodthirsty war pig a stomp on the trampled to death.

Alice froze in shock for a moment.

The other two teenagers and a young girl were also at a loss for words in fear, they were too late to save the others.

“Alice!”

The teenager called Karan could only shout in pain and anxiety. Although he was a rank five warrior, it was obvious that he was too far behind in terms of experience.

“Puff!”

Seven or eight sharp Earth Surge Guns that flowed with a rich earth-yellow light emerged steeply, and although the Level 5 magical beast ‘Bloodthirsty War Hog’ had a thick skin, it was still stabbed by two of the Earth Surge Guns into its hard muscles, and blood flowed out from the Bloodthirsty War Hog’s abdomen.

Unfortunately ……

The ground assault spears only pierced into the muscles, and did not injure the internal organs.

“Roar,” the Bloodthirsty War Hog tilted its head in pain and hissed.

“Puff!”

A short black blade pierced directly into the eye of the Bloodthirsty War Hog from above, like lightning, the eyeball burst, the short black blade penetrated through the entire head, the Bloodthirsty War Hog couldn’t help but tremble like a sieve chaff all over its body in pain, and didn’t move for just a moment.

Karan, Nia, Alice and the other four were so scared that their hearts were beating rapidly.

They watched as the strong teenager wearing the blue warrior’s strong suit very skillfully took out the Bloodthirsty War Hog’s magical beast core, and then the teenager turned around and was about to leave. Karan, however, was the first among the four to change his breath and immediately shouted loudly, “This friend, wait a moment.”
