Misty Mountain Valley

"With my agility and claws, I don't even need something like a Levitation Spell!"

Squeak squeak~ (Boss, Brother Yun, what's there to argue over about such a trivial thing? Watch me~)

Lin Lei, who had been arguing with Fengyun, heard Beibei squeak twice and immediately saw him dash toward the Blueheart Grass on the cliff wall. Alarmed, he hurriedly sent a mental message: "Beibei, be careful!"

Fengyun also drew the Light Shadow Blade and stared solemnly at the mist shrouding the valley.

He knew that the valley contained many high-ranking magical beasts. The reason he had volunteered to pick the Blueheart Grass in Lin Lei's place was to prevent Lin Lei from attracting a massive flock of Winged Bird Dragons and being hunted down, just as in the original story.

As level 6 flocking flying magical beasts, even Fengyun did not dare provoke the Winged Bird Dragons. Otherwise, if they kited him, it was entirely possible that he could die here.

After all, the Winged Bird Dragons' methods were not limited to breathing flames. He was not sure whether Beibei could still slip directly into their flock and kill them into retreat as he had in the original story.

Fengyun had originally thought that if he picked it himself, he could avoid being discovered by keeping the disturbance under control. If he was careful enough, he might even find some other valuable treasures.

Who would have thought that Beibei would find the two of them too slow and charge over to pick it himself!

Given Beibei's speed and small size, he really was the most suitable one for the task.

But because of his playful nature and immature mind, both Lin Lei and Fengyun had always treated him as a younger brother. Neither of them had ever considered letting Beibei do the picking.

And just as they had expected, Beibei was fast and quiet when he moved, but his reckless, speed-at-all-costs manner made Fengyun realize that a pursuit was unavoidable!

Caw caw~

Caw caw caw~

Caw~

Before Beibei could return with the Blueheart Grass, a flock of Winged Bird Dragons had already appeared before the two of them.

When Beibei returned like a streak of black lightning, two Level 7 Green Patterned Giant Pythons were also charging after him.

"Run~"

After shouting, Fengyun, who had been gathering strength for a long time, immediately charged in the opposite direction. Dodging the Winged Bird Dragons' flame breath and the Green Patterned Giant Pythons' ice arrows, he arrived before the two startled pythons and unleashed a Great Brightness Slash containing ninety percent of his battle qi from his blade.

The Great Brightness Slash, radiating blinding white light, swept effortlessly across the two giant pythons' necks the instant they instinctively shut their eyes, severing their heads.

Green Patterned Giant Pythons, dead *2!

Beibei, who had been standing on Lin Lei's shoulder and watching behind them, exclaimed through a mental message, "Whoa, Boss, is Brother Yun this overbearing after advancing to level 6?"

"He killed two Level 7 Magical Beasts with a single slash!"

Beibei could also easily defeat Level 7 Magical Beasts, but due to his lack of powerful offensive techniques and his small size, killing them still took some time. That was why he had not directly killed the Green Patterned Giant Pythons.

Seeing Fengyun kill two Green Patterned Giant Pythons with one slash truly gave his young heart a small shock!

Lin Lei was also dumbstruck as he looked at the two Green Patterned Giant Pythons behind them, beheaded by a single slash. He muttered, "I knew Brother Yun's attacks had to be powerful now, but I never expected them to be this powerful!"

"The difference in strength between Level 7 and level 6 is more than tenfold, and magical beasts are naturally stronger than humans to begin with."

"Brother Yun has only just entered level 6, yet he can kill two Green Patterned Giant Pythons with a single slash!"

While the man and mouse were still marveling, Fengyun, who was exceptionally skilled in speed, swiftly shot over to their side and said, "What are you standing around for? Run!"

"Killing those two Green Patterned Giant Pythons just now consumed ninety percent of my battle qi. I don't even have the strength left for another slash to intimidate this flock of Winged Bird Dragons."

"If we don't run now, are we waiting to be roasted?"

Squeak squeak~ (Hahaha~, don't worry, Brother Yun. I only ignored those big birds earlier because I was afraid of damaging the Blueheart Grass. Now watch me, Boss. Cast a Levitation Spell on me, then throw me into that flock of big birds.)

Fengyun could not understand what Beibei meant as he stood on Lin Lei's shoulder, patting his little chest and squeaking, but Lin Lei understood.

Without another word, Lin Lei cast a Levitation Spell on Beibei and directly threw him toward the flock of Winged Bird Dragons.

Lin Lei knew Beibei's strength, especially his speed and defense, which were incredibly formidable. The Winged Bird Dragons were powerful, but he truly did not think they could hurt Beibei.

Now that Beibei had confidently guaranteed it, Lin Lei naturally threw him over without hesitation.

What followed was a bizarre scene. Fengyun and Lin Lei fled miserably across the ground, dodging the flock of Winged Bird Dragons' flame breath, while the arrogant Winged Bird Dragons dominating the skies kept falling from above one after another.

In only a short while, Beibei had already killed several Winged Bird Dragons!

Unable to bear the losses to their flock, the Winged Bird Dragons finally fled back to Misty Mountain Valley after losing another companion. Fengyun and Lin Lei were no longer in danger of being pursued.

A moment later, when Beibei returned, he was still holding eight Winged Bird Dragon Magic Crystal Cores in his paws.

One look told Fengyun that this little money-grubber had gone to dig out the Magic Crystal Cores from every Winged Bird Dragon he had killed. As for the Magic Crystal Cores of the two Green Patterned Giant Pythons, Fengyun had dug those out himself after killing them.

After leading Lin Lei through training in the Monster Mountain Range for so long, Fengyun was in an excellent mood now that he had finally found this treasure trove.

After his strength broke through Level 5, he could no longer continue training in the Light Church's hunting grounds, where a certain degree of safety was guaranteed.

That was because the Light Church's hunting grounds only went as high as Level 4. Going deeper and establishing Level 5 or level 6 magical beast hunting grounds would cost so much that even the Light Church considered it not worth the expense.

Besides, those hunting grounds existed to help students adapt to the environment of the Monster Mountain Range. If they still could not adapt to it after reaching Level 5, then there was no need to keep training them.

Therefore, if he wanted to undergo Monster Trials again, he could only venture deeper into the Monster Mountain Range for genuine trials.

In a real Monster Trial, one wrong move could result in being devoured completely by a magical beast stronger than oneself.

Although he had realized that he had previously been stuck at a bottleneck because he lacked enough life-and-death crises, that did not mean he now wanted to undergo Monster Trials where his life could be in danger at any moment.

It was not that Fengyun, already a Level Six Warrior, had yet to develop the heart of a strong warrior or the will to fight.

Ever since he had begun training with the goal of becoming a Saint Warrior, he had been prepared to temper himself amid danger and accept the risk of death.

The joking remark that he "treated the Monster Mountain Range as home" and the title of "Light Shadow Swordsman" were proof that he feared neither life nor death in pursuit of his goal and kept moving forward without pause.

The reason he did not want to continue such excessively dangerous life-and-death training was that his strength was currently in a period of rapid growth. For now, training grounds with a certain degree of safety, like the Light Church's magical beast hunting grounds, were the most suitable environments for his cultivation.
