"I asked you to protect Long Er, but you let my Long Er die. You have to die too.”
The Long Family Patriarch roared and struck the guard with his palm.
Bang!
A burst of energy forced him back.
"Master Long, killing him will mean one less warrior to command. Don't you think it's a pity?”
A man wearing a bronze mask walked in.
"Who are you?"
Master Long said in a deep voice.
This person's Qi was strong and was at the tenth level of the spiritual realm, which was the same as his strength.
"Xue Lingluo has something I want. Let's join forces and kill Xue Lingluo and that demonic turtle.”
The man wearing the bronze mask smiled faintly.
Master Long's pupils constricted.
He wanted Xue Lingluo's life!
Could it be the bandits who robbed the Xue family last night?
No, bandits wouldn't do so much!
They were assassins!
"Master Long, this is a great opportunity."
The other party said again, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
"I just want to kill Xue Lingluo and her demon pet. I won't interfere with your matters, nor will I probe into them.”
Master Long could tell, so he immediately pointed out his position to avoid getting into trouble.
"Kill Xue Lingluo and the demonic turtle, and we'll go our separate ways.”
The man wearing the bronze mask smiled faintly.
"I'll immediately organize my men and head to the Demon Beast Forest.”
"My men are ready too."
The two of them reached an agreement.
……
In the middle of the Demon Beast Forest, at a small valley.
Ye Que checked the interface after the breakthrough.
[Host: Ye Que]
[Realm: 6/10 (Sixth-tier demonic beast. After reaching the tenth tier, you will obtain the right to atavism once)]
[Evolution: Wild Forest Turtle (Grade 6 demonic beast with acute hearing)]
[Innate Talent: Counterattack (When attacked, 50% of the attacker's damage will be returned)]
[Speed: 8.9/10]
[Defense: 8.9/10]
[Attack: 6.9/10]
[EXP: 0]
The martial arts option did not flash.
"The interface hasn't changed much. Let's go find food now.”
Ye Que circled around the small valley in search of prey.
Not long after, he killed a fourth-tier demonic beast and ate it.
It was a pity that after becoming a sixth-tier demonic beast, killing fourth-tier demonic beasts would not give him experience points.
When Ye Que went back, he dragged the wild fruit wrapped in leaves.
This was for Xue Lingluo. If she was hungry and ate the treasures in the bag, he would suffer a huge loss.
"Thank you, little turtle."
Xue Lingluo fell asleep after eating.
She was too tired after running for a night.
"I still have a mutant fruit that I haven't eaten yet. I'll eat it now.”
Ye Que finished the food quickly.
"Ding! The host has consumed a 400-year-old Cold True Fruit!”
"It's such a pity that I don't have any experience points after eating it!”
Ye Que's heart ached and he felt helpless.
However, even if one's cultivation realm was at the fifth rank, eating it would have no effect.
After killing the young master of the Long family and a guard, his experience points had reached the upper limit.
"It's fine, it's fine. There's something better in the package.”
Ye Que comforted himself.
In the afternoon.
"I'll go around the surroundings. It's best if I can hunt high-level demon beasts.”
After becoming a sixth-tier demonic beast, the range of the map scan had reached 800 meters.
He was active within 800 meters of the valley.
A night passed.
"Ding! Host has killed a sixth-rank demonic beast, the Earth Dragon Tiger! Obtained 1 experience point."
"It was too difficult to guard near the small valley. I only got this harvest the next morning.”
But in order to get the treasure in the bag, it was all worth it.
Ye Que temporarily stored the experience points and prepared to break through to the next realm after he had reached the upper limit.
Otherwise, if he wanted to increase his realm and obtain more experience points, he would have to kill higher-level demon beasts.
"I'm going back to prevent Xue Lingluo from doing anything out of line.”
As soon as he entered the valley, he found Xue Luoling bathing.
This girl had been on the run for the entire night, so her body was extremely dirty. It was time to take advantage of this period of time when there was no danger to wash up.
"Little turtle, I knew you didn't go far.”
Xue Lingluo heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the turtle return.
When she woke up and realized that Little Turtle was missing, she was still quite flustered.
But she believed that Little Turtle would not abandon him.
Now that he saw the other party return, his heart calmed down.
"Take a good shower. I'll go around and keep watch for you!”
Seeing that Xue Lingluo was not in danger, Ye Que crawled out again.
In the afternoon.
"Xue Lingluo has almost fully recovered. She has the ability to go out with me. It's time to send her back to the human city.”
Ye Que made a decision in his heart when he saw that Xue Lingluo had regained her spirit.
Phew--
A strong wind blew down.
Ye Que's body trembled as he instinctively sensed danger.
"Map scan prompt: A second level Origin Martial Stage wild monster has appeared 800 meters behind!”
[System Notification: A second level Origin Martial Stage wild monster is rapidly approaching. Please pay attention to avoid it!]”
"Yuan…Yuan Wu…"
Ye Que's legs went weak.
Above the Demonic Beast Realm and Spiritual Martial Realm was the Origin Martial Realm.
Those who had reached the Origin Martial Stage possessed the ability to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and they could even condense Origin Power in their bodies.
The strength of an Origin Martial Realm martial artist who had mastered Origin Power was completely incomparable to those in the Demonic Beast Realm or the Spiritual Martial Realm.
It was no exaggeration to say that an Essence Martial Realm expert could kill a Demonic Beast Realm or Spiritual Martial Realm expert with a single breath.
"I don't seem to have the ability to provoke a big shot at the Origin Martial realm!”
Just as he was about to run away with Xue Lingluo, a person flew over.
Flying in the air was one of the symbols of the Origin Martial Stage.
"Uncle!"
Xue Lingluo said in surprise.
Ye Que was speechless.
Suddenly, he remembered something.
On the night the Xue family was destroyed, he overheard the conversation between the two killers in the kitchen.
The person who wanted to kill the Xue Family seemed to be an elder of the Xue Family.
"Could this person be the elder of the Xue Family?”
Ye Que gulped.
"Luo 'er, it's a good thing you have the jade pendant I gave you. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to find you.”
That person was at his lowest point. Seeing that Xue Lingluo was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, his gaze was like lightning as he stared at the turtle beside Xue Lingluo.
His gaze was slightly unfriendly.
Xue Lingluo saw that her uncle's expression was not right and hurriedly explained,""Uncle, it's all thanks to little turtle that I'm alive today.”
"A palm-sized turtle has the ability to save you?”
The eldest uncle was shocked, but the hostility in his eyes had already disappeared.
"So you can't see through my strength."
This thought flashed across Ye Que's mind.
"Little Turtle is very capable and has kept me safe until now. However, those bandits still robbed the Xue family and many people died.”
Xue Lingluo's eyes were red with tears, and her voice was choked up.
Ye Que remained unmoved and became vigilant.
This person might be the elder, so he had to be careful.
First Uncle was initially curious, but after hearing Xue Lingluo's confession, his curiosity was replaced by sadness.
"Did your parents give a three-thousand-year-old Seven-Leaf Fruit to the elder of the Snow Dragon Peak?”
First Uncle sighed softly and voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"No! My parents gave it to the Xue Family! Big Uncle, could it be that the Seven Leaf Fruit was taken away by the Snow Dragon Peak's Elder?”
When Xue Lingluo heard this, she sensed that something was wrong.
"Humph! I was wondering where he got the seven-leaf fruit from! You actually took the treasures your parents handed over for yourself!”
