Few days had passed by.
Two beautiful women traveled through the Dark Forest with great caution. They are both Demi and Mable who have escaped their pursuers and are running in order to reach safety and although they have not been discovered so far they were still very cautious for any mishaps because they have no protectors.
In these days, each night, they would always hear chaos from the Dark Forest, mixed with the roaring of demon beasts and the crying and screaming of human warriors, as well as mercenaries. This continuous noise and chaos would make even the bravest man be filled with horror.
Mable instantly realized that there must be some human who had irritated the higher level demon beasts. That’s why during those nights, they would find a peaceful and an absolutely safe area to rest, and never took any chance to go out at night.
During this period, they did every possible thing not to confront with any demon beasts, or to pick fights with any mercenaries, i.e., avoiding any trouble from both sides.
Because of this code of caution that they took, during days, although the two of them didn’t cover a long distance, they didn’t run into any trouble on their way either.
Apart from that, what they don’t know is someone following their each steps. Leylin who has finished dealing with all of the pursuers have been following these two wanting to have them navigate his way to the encounter with the Mercenaries who have stolen treasures from Silver Thunder Wolf.
Through the way, he would still find some warriors and demon beasts killing and collect their lingering Profound Qi.
Leylin has advanced by leaps ans bounds through these days and have increased his repertoire of skills, currently he’s like a wrecking ball destroying everything in his path.
Although now, he didn’t harvest much Profound Qi from each corpse because of his increasing strength, but with the stolen Profound Qi accumulating within his body, Leylin also managed to enhance his Martial Spirits by a bit.
…
It was night again. The two of them were hiding in a dark cave within a valley. With the opening of the cave covered with bushes, they talked in a low voice.
They could hear troops of demon beasts passing by their cave on the outside. It seemed there were the roaring and howling of demon beasts everywhere. God knows how many demon beasts were out there on that night.
“It is a little unusual tonight. It seems that all the demon beasts in the dark forest have come out.” Demi said with a frown on her face, “This is too strange. Usually, even if the warriors and mercenaries are too out of line, those demon beasts would at most attack them for 2 or 3 days. There is no reason for all these demon beasts to come out. God knows what the hell is going on out there. ”
Mable looked around seriously said with a solemn face, “I have heard that the Silver Thunder Wolf is already a Level-7 demon beast, equaling our warrior of the Sky Level. It not only has Demon Crystals within its body, but also possesses the intelligence of the same level as humans. As even the Silver Thunder Wolf has showed up to lead, there must be a huge fight behind.”
“Thank God we proceeded with great caution these days, not aiming to cover more distance, but making safety our first priority. Otherwise, we would have been in loads of trouble.” Demi nodded.
“Do you think Uncle Levi would return and we should perhaps wait for him?”
“Don’t be foolish My lady, Uncle did everything to protect and give us a chance, we must use this opportunity to reach to safety. Although nothing has happened we can’t be sure and must not stop.”
“But.. ”
“*Shush* Someone is coming.. ”
“Tata! Tata!”
There were some messy footsteps from the outside of the cave. They assumed that this was the movement of human warriors out there.
With such frequent movement of the demon beasts out there, those human warriors who were still moving around must be in some serious trouble, probably also being chased and hunted by those demon beasts right now.
“Maybe we should go out and take a look? Maybe we could offer some help?” Mable asked the Demi dimly.
Demi took a glimpse at Mable, but didn’t say anything.
“We can’t just let them die like that..” Mable frowned. She was obviously quite upset.
“I am sorry my lady but I can’t help you…we must stay still, or else even if we do help them the end result would be similar to what happened back when we meet with mercenaries and now, we don’t have anyone to help us anymore.” Demi said with no mercy.
Mable was not that naïve. Of course she knew all about these. She only said this because she couldn’t bear the idea that humans were killed by those cruel beasts.
But after being taught a lesson by Demi like that, she couldn’t retaliate. She mumbled, “I am sorry..”
Leylin was yawning while leaning on a tree with his hands crossed, suddenly looked towards the cave and smiled, “Looking for charity even at this conjecture, the Magus in me couldn’t help but slap her with reality but, I don’t have to bother… They found them!”
“They are heading towards this way, one of them have a special martial spirit capable of surveying life signs or something, I shouldn’t get inside their raidar…even if I did, it doesn’t matter.”
“Something is wrong!” Demi was also alerted. She quickly picked up her dagger and guarded the entrance of the cave, “We are found!”
“Impossible!”
“Ow!” “Woo!”
The roaring and howling of the demon beasts could be heard outside the cave. It seemed that there were more and more demon beasts coming toward their way.
“Block the entrance!”
Demi suddenly changed the look on her face. Her put her hands against the rock on the entrance of the cave and shouted, “We cannot let anyone into this cave!”
After they entered this cave, they did not properly cover the entrance with bushes and leaves leaving them prone to danger.
“What should we do?”
“Let’s try blocking the way.”
“Maybe we should let them in and try to protect all of us.”
“We don’t have the luxury to show any form of kindness, just listen to me!”
“Bang!” “Bang!”
The sound of heavy strikes on the rocks came one after another.
Violent strikes were forced onto Demi who was blocking the cave. She and Mable were both shocked and felt numb in their arms.
“Hey friends inside the cave, take your hands off! Or I won’t be this polite anymore!”
At the entrance of the cave, a cold voice yelled, “My Matial Spirit can perceive life signs within two hundred meters. I know there are two of you. We just want to get in and hide for a while. Please do us a favor!”
Neither of them inside said anything keeping their hand.
“Move! Demon beasts will come in a few minutes and there must be several high-level ones! If you don’t want to lose your lives, let us in!” A forthright voice cried fretfully.
“Get lost! There is no space!” Demi was rather cold, showing not the slightest amount of friendliness.
Their cave was not big enough so it could only hold six people, and counting the rock at the entrance, it could only hold five people at most. Maybe if they squeezed they can fit but then these would be at the mercy of the various mercenaries and it would be better to just die then living through that for them.
“Steve, come with me, let’s break it!” One of them shouted coldly with impatience.
“Sure!”
“Bang! Bang!”
Two streams of explosive power struck the rock at the same time, andan enormous force blasted out from within the hard rock at once!
Withthe dull booms, the hard rock which was being supported by Demi and Mable was comminuted into dozens of pieces.
“Kaka! Kaka!”
The rock segments fell on the ground one by one and suddenly the light shined into the dim entrance.
Three people got the chance and slipped into the cave at once.
The leader of the group, who was around thirty years old and wore a silver warrior uniform, looked cold and arrogant. He glanced at the two girls, then jeered, “A mere Nascent-Level warrior dares to block us. You are going beyond your depth, young lady!”
“Big brother, kill them!” Another rude young man urged, “This cave is only capable of holding six people. Our people can’t come in if they still stay here!”
“You two get out of the cave right now! Or I will kill you in no time!” The man in silver uniform demanded, “You are definitely no match for us! We have two Human-Level and four Nascent-Level warriors. You’d better not waste our time.”
The three warriors who were standing at the opening of the cave looked at the two coldly, seemingly prepared to take action at any time, as a dim light was gradually sent out from their bodies.
“Big brother, look at the girls, woah!” Another skinny short young man found Demi and Mable extraordinarily beautiful after he adapted to the dimness in the cave and couldn’t help but shout out.
