After taking out the monster core, Jian Chen and Tie Ta continued their journey of hunting magical beasts.
To hunt a Class 1 Magical Beast with the strength of a Saint was an extremely difficult task for an ordinary academy. It could be life-threatening at any time, but in the eyes of Jian Chen and Tie Ta, it was completely a game. At this moment, the 2nd region had become a golden treasure ground for the two of them to hunt for monster cores.
A day passed by quickly. As night fell, Jian Chen and Tie Ta sat in a clearing with a torch in between them. The bright light from the torch danced in the darkness, causing the shadows of the two to distort. They looked like demons with their claws bared.
The surroundings were pitch-black. Outside of the range of the fire, one could not even see one's fingers. The night was not that calm. In the forest, which was unknown how far away, the howls of Magical Beasts were constantly being emitted, causing one's hair to stand on end. If a timid person spent the night in such an environment, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
Tie Ta flipped over the large piece of magical beast meat on the fire rack. Under the light of the fire, he could clearly see that Tie Ta and Jian Chen's clothes were tattered and covered in blood.
These bloodstains were all from the magical beasts, and his clothes were all cut by some thorns.
"Changyang Xiang Tian, you're really too powerful. I didn't think that your rusty iron rod would be so powerful. Today, almost all of the magical beasts we killed were killed by you alone. Only the little snake we met at the beginning was killed by me.”Tie Ta praised.
Jian Chen smiled faintly,"I just happened to seize the opportunity. If you hadn't severely injured those magical beasts, it would have been quite difficult for me to kill them.”
Tie Ta chuckled. He finally found some comfort and continued,"Changyang Xiang Tian, can you tell me why you can always detect the magical beasts in advance?”Tie Ta's face was filled with curiosity. This question had been in his mind for an entire day, and he had finally found the right opportunity to voice it out.
Jian Chen didn't hide anything. Pointing to his ears and head, he said,"Use this and this."
Tie Ta followed Jian Chen's actions and pointed to his ears and head. He asked curiously,"Do you mean stop by your ears and think by your head?”
"Half right!" Jian Chen rubbed the tip of the iron rod against a large rock he had purposely placed by his feet as he replied casually,"Other than listening with your ears, you also need to use your mind to sense the movements around you. However, the latter method is still a little too difficult for you at the moment.”
"Oh!" Tie Ta nodded his head, but he didn't seem to understand. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Jian Chen placed the metal rod that was almost completely worn out by his side and untied the Space Belt around his waist,"Tie Ta, let's see what we've gained today.”With that, Jian Chen shook his Space Belt and poured out all the monster cores.
As monster cores rolled out of the Space Belt one after another, they gradually piled up in front of Jian Chen.
Tie Ta did the same. He untied his Space Belt and poured out all the monster cores inside, forming a foot tall hill.
"I have a total of forty-eight.”Jian Chen smiled with satisfaction. The rewards he had gained today were undoubtedly huge.
"I have a total of 49 pills here, one more than you.”Tie Ta's voice was filled with excitement. This was the first time he had ever seen so many monster cores. He had never thought that he would one day possess so many monster cores. Even though they were all Class 1 monster cores, to Tie Ta, who was born into a commoner family, this was already a great fortune.
"To have such a bountiful harvest on the first day is not bad. I wonder if we can become the ones who pay the most monster cores with our current number. After all, the rewards are extremely generous, a Class 4 Monster Core and a Space Ring.”Jian Chen was also tempted by such a bountiful reward. The most important thing was the Class 4 Monster Core. The energy of a Class 4 Monster Core was much purer than a Class 1 Monster Core.
At this moment, Jian Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He called out,"Quickly put away the monster cores, someone is coming.”With that, Jian Chen quickly placed the monster cores into his Space Belt and hung them around his waist.
Tie Ta's movements weren't slow either. When he heard Jian Chen's reminder, he began to pick up the monster cores on the ground in a fluster. When Jian Chen was done, Tie Ta also put all the monster cores into his belt.
After the two of them had stored the monster cores into their Space Belts, they waited for a few breaths of time before the grass in the distance began to shake. With a rustling sound, a thin person walked out from the grass. When he saw Jian Chen and Tie Ta standing in front of the fire, he was clearly stunned before letting out a cry of joy. It was as if a weak girl had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. She ran over with messy steps.
" I finally found someone, I finally found someone! Please save me, don't abandon me! I'm so scared, I'm really scared, those magical beasts are going to eat me…" That person's tone was very flustered and full of fear, but his voice was very tender.
Hearing this, Jian Chen and the other two finally understood that this person was actually a woman. With the help of the light from the fire, they could vaguely see that the woman was wearing Kargath Academy's uniform. However, the uniform had already been scratched by countless thorns in the forest, and it was already a little naked. Even her white undergarments were exposed, and her clothes were covered in mud. It was likely that she had fallen quite a bit.
The woman's face was covered in mud, and her face could no longer be seen clearly. However, her long face was already covered with two lines of clear tears. Her watery eyes were filled with pleading as she looked at Jian Chen. She looked extremely pitiful and helpless.
"Sit down first." Jian Chen tried his best to speak in a friendly tone. He had already guessed the situation of the girl. In such an environment, even some men who had not experienced the wind and waves would feel their hair stand on end, let alone a girl.
Seeing that the other party was actually a delicate girl, Tie Ta let down his guard. He gently put down the axe in his hand and stared at the girl curiously.
Jian Chen looked at the girl calmly and asked,"Can you tell me your name?”
"My…my name is Liang Xiaole." The girl replied timidly. She looked at the two of them with a shifty gaze. Her eyes were filled with fear, as well as a hint of worry and fear.
"You're a girl, why don't you go with others? You're so timid, and you still want to walk alone in the forest. Just the sound of shouting and screaming scared you to that extent.”Tie Ta asked in a muffled voice.
Liang Xiaole timidly glanced at Tie Ta and whispered,"I was originally with a few friends, but unfortunately, we met a magical beast. That magical beast was very powerful, and the few of us together couldn't defeat it. Soon, a few of us were injured. In the end, when we were escaping, I accidentally got separated from everyone.”
Hearing this, Tie Ta pursed his lips in disdain and muttered to himself,"The few of us can't even deal with a Class 1 Magical Beast. How useless. Changyang Xiang Tian and I killed close to a hundred magical beasts today.”A sense of pride rose in Tie Ta's heart.
"Gululu!"
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly rang out. Immediately, Jian Chen and Tie Ta's eyes focused on the source of the sound. It was Liang Xiaole's stomach, which was currently making a rumbling sound.
"You must be hungry." Jian Chen smiled.
"Yes!" Liang Xiaole nodded shyly and said in a voice as soft as words,""I haven't eaten anything for two meals.”As she spoke, Liang Xiaole's eyes continued to glance at the golden meat that was dripping with oil. She greedily sniffed at the faint fragrance, but the more she did so, the more her stomach growled. In the end, Jian Chen and Tie Ta could hear the sound of rumbling thunder.
Smiling, Jian Chen picked up the stick that was wrapped in magical beast meat. Not afraid of the heat, he directly tore off a large piece of it and placed it in front of Liang Xiaole,"Take it and eat it. Be careful, it's hot."
Liang Xiaole rubbed her hands and used the tattered corner of her clothes to wipe her hands clean of dirt. She carefully took the magical beast meat and ignored the hot meat. She directly ate it in big mouthfuls without caring about her image.
Liang Xiaole was probably famished. She finished the large piece of Magical Beast meat very quickly and looked at the remaining piece of Magical Beast meat with unsatisfied eyes.
Smiling, Jian Chen tore off another large piece of magical beast meat and placed it in front of Liang Xiaole,"Take it."
Looking at the piece of magical beast meat in front of her, Liang Xiaole hesitated for a moment. In the end, she did not reach out to take it. Instead, she looked at Jian Chen and Tie Ta and said in a gentle voice,"If I'm done eating, what are you guys eating?”
Tie Ta chuckled."Don't worry, we still have a big one. Look under that tree.”Tie Ta pointed in a direction.
Liang Xiaole looked in the direction Tie Ta was pointing at and found an unknown magical beast lying under a tree not far away. One of its legs had disappeared, and there were still bloodstains on the ground.
Liang Xiaole looked at the corpse of the demonic beast and swallowed hard."You guys are really amazing. You two were able to kill a Class 1 Magical Beast.”
"Tsk…what's this?" Tie Ta didn't care.
Time quietly passed. Very soon, Jian Chen and Tie Ta finished eating and prepared to rest.
"Hey, where should I sleep?" Liang Xiaole said with a troubled expression.
"Jian Chen pointed at the nearby tree and said,"You should rest on the tree. That way, even if you encounter a magical beast attack at night, it won't hurt you.”
"Ah, there are still magical beasts attacking at night.”Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaole's small face turned pale. Her eyes were filled with fear, and her entire body was trembling.
"What about you guys? Where are you going? Don't leave me alone, or I'll definitely be eaten by those ferocious magical beasts.”Liang Xiaole asked immediately. She stared at Jian Chen and the other two nervously, afraid that they would leave her behind and run away.
Jian Chen sighed to himself. He really couldn't do anything about this timid Liang Xiaole. This kind of daughter from a noble family had basically never experienced any storms. She had grown up in a greenhouse since she was young, and when she encountered danger, she would lose her composure.
"Don't worry, we won't go far. We'll rest under that tree.”Jian Chen said.
Liang Xiaole finally felt a little better after hearing this, but the fear in her heart was still there.
"This damned academy, this damned dean, why would they let everyone participate in this kind of activity for no reason? Aren't they deliberately trying to kill people?”Liang Xiaole couldn't help but curse at the thought of how she ended up in this state. As she spoke, her tone sounded like she was about to cry.
