They saw an unprecedentedly majestic flying magical beast emerging from the depths of the Monster Mountain Range and flying outward.
The magical beast was covered in golden feathers, bathed in a faint halo beneath the fading twilight, making it look especially majestic and extraordinary.
What shocked them even more was that a very young man was seated atop the magical beast's back.
The young man was handsome and carried himself with exceptional grace. Illuminated by the pale yellow twilight behind him, he seemed almost sacred!
The scene was like a god descending upon the mortal world atop his mount!
Without question, it was Xiao Fan, riding the Golden Winged Great Peng from the central region of the Monster Mountain Range.
As the members of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group watched Xiao Fan descend before them on that majestic flying magical beast, every one of them looked at him as though he were a god!
Even Xiao Yi Xian could not help but deeply imprint Xiao Fan's figure in her heart.
Xiao Fan had originally been riding Xiao Jin out of the Monster Mountain Range, planning to find a city or town to stay in for the night. He had no desire to live in a filthy, chaotic place like the Monster Mountain Range.
At Xiao Fan's request, Xiao Jin had not been flying very quickly. He had noticed Xiao Yi Xian's group from several miles away.
At first, Xiao Fan had not planned to interfere.
After all, who knew how many adventurers died in the Monster Mountain Range each year? One more group would not make much difference.
They were neither family nor friends, and Xiao Fan did not want to meddle in other people's affairs.
However, upon hearing the name Xiao Yi Xian, his heart stirred slightly, and he ordered Xiao Jin to fly toward the group.
Before his transmigration, Xiao Fan had greatly liked Xiao Yi Xian's character when reading the original novel, and had felt deep regret for her.
Now that he had encountered her, there was naturally no reason to let the chance slip away.
Xiao Fan had not expected such a coincidence. On his very first day entering the Monster Mountain Range to hunt magical beasts, Xiao Yi Xian had happened to enter the mountain range as well.
In truth, if Xiao Fan had not fought the Earth Tyrant Bear and frightened some of the magical beasts in the central region of the Monster Mountain Range into fleeing in every direction, Xiao Yi Xian's group would not have encountered the Gale Wolves' siege.
These magical beasts had been scared half to death by the aftermath of Xiao Fan's battle with the Earth Tyrant Bear. Yet when they encountered Xiao Yi Xian's group, they changed their attitude and treated them as food.
Xiao Fan had some guesses about this, but he naturally was not foolish enough to say it aloud.
"Xiao Jin, take care of these guys!"
Xiao Fan casually swept his gaze over the group, lingering on Xiao Yi Xian for two extra seconds before giving Xiao Jin the order.
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's command, Xiao Jin immediately swooped toward the stunned pack of Gale Wolves and wiped them all out in an instant!
Fei Lei and the others were deeply shaken once again. The demonic wolves that had nearly driven them into a life-or-death crisis had been so easily destroyed!
Fei Lei was the first to recover. He stepped forward, clasped his fists in salute to Xiao Fan, and said solemnly, "I am Fei Lei, leader of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group. Thank you, Young Master, for saving us. May I ask your name?"
"Xiao Fan." Xiao Fan smiled faintly, then continued, "I merely happened to be passing by. It was nothing more than a small effort, so there is no need to be so polite."
Fei Lei said, "So you are Young Master Xiao. Thank you once again, Young Master Xiao. What was a small effort to you was a lifesaving kindness to us."
The young man who had complained earlier also spoke up. "The captain is right. If Young Master Xiao had not saved us, I, Ka Gang, would probably have lost my life here today."
"The captain and Brother Ka Gang are right. Thank you, Young Master Xiao, for saving our lives!" The other mercenaries echoed their thanks.
Xiao Yi Xian, standing among the crowd, likewise expressed her gratitude to Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan smiled slightly at this and did not continue refusing their thanks. Instead, he changed the subject. "By the way, I'm not familiar with this area. Do you know how far the nearest town is? It's getting late, and I'm planning to find somewhere to stay."
Fei Lei chuckled. "Young Master Xiao, you've come to the right people. About ten miles from here is Green Mountain Town. Many people who come to the Monster Mountain Range for adventure and training choose to stay there."
Green Mountain Town? Xiao Fan was not particularly surprised to hear that name.
In the original novel, when Xiao Yi Xian first appeared, she had been living at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall in Green Mountain Town.
Xiao Yi Xian often hired people to escort her to gather herbs around the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, so she generally did not travel too far from Green Mountain Town.
Xiao Fan said, "Then what a coincidence. Are you planning to return to Green Mountain Town?"
Fei Lei nodded. "That's right. If Young Master Xiao does not mind, you can travel with us. We have lived in Green Mountain Town for many years and know the town very well."
"Then I'll trouble you."
After pondering briefly, Xiao Fan nodded in agreement.
"Screech!"
At that moment, an eagle's cry came from nearby as a Blue Eagle flew excitedly toward the group.
"Chirp!"
Seeing that another magical beast actually dared to come here, Xiao Jin immediately let out a threatening cry. It spread its wings, preparing to kill this magical beast that did not know its place!
"Young Master Xiao, please have your companion stop! That Blue Eagle is my companion!" Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly pleaded with Xiao Fan.
When danger had appeared earlier, Xiao Yi Xian had told the Blue Eagle to fly farther away so that it would not be hurt.
Although the Blue Eagle was not especially intelligent, it was very attached to Xiao Yi Xian and had not flown too far away. When it saw that the Gale Wolves had all been dealt with, it eagerly wanted to return to Xiao Yi Xian's side.
The Blue Eagle assumed that Xiao Jin was the companion of its master's friend and would not harm it, but it had overlooked the fact that Xiao Jin did not know it at all.
"Xiao Jin, stop!"
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Fan immediately gave Xiao Jin the order.
Upon hearing Xiao Fan's command, Xiao Jin once again lazily drooped its wings and remained where it was.
Frightened by Xiao Jin's earlier movement, along with the pressure of a high-ranking magical beast, the Blue Eagle fell straight out of the air.
Xiao Fan flashed forward and caught it in his hands before returning to Xiao Yi Xian's side. "Sorry, Xiao Jin didn't know this Blue Eagle was your companion."
Xiao Yi Xian took the Blue Eagle with both hands and hurriedly said, "Young Master Xiao, there's no need to apologize. You simply didn't know Xiao Lan, which is why the misunderstanding occurred. I should thank you for catching Xiao Lan."
The Blue Eagle was still shaken and trembled in Xiao Yi Xian's hands.
Only after Xiao Yi Xian soothed it for a while did the Blue Eagle finally calm down.
After this incident, the relationship between Xiao Fan and Xiao Yi Xian inexplicably grew much closer.
Xiao Yi Xian's companion, the Blue Eagle, became Xiao Jin's follower.
After that, Xiao Fan traveled with Xiao Yi Xian and the others toward Green Mountain Town.
Along the way, Xiao Fan did not even need to make a move. Xiao Jin merely released a small portion of its pressure, and no magical beasts dared approach them.
Before long, the group returned to Green Mountain Town.
At Fei Lei and Xiao Yi Xian's invitation, Xiao Fan shared another dinner with everyone. He then bid farewell to Xiao Yi Xian, Fei Lei, and the others, rented a superior room at an inn in Green Mountain Town, and settled in for the night.
Early the next morning, amid the bustling clamor of Green Mountain Town's many adventurers, Xiao Fan slowly awoke from his sleep.
After a simple breakfast, Xiao Fan once again immersed his consciousness in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group. As usual, he checked in first, then tagged Qian Renxue. He had already agreed with Qian Renxue that he would go to the Douluo World today.
Xiao Fan: @Qian Renxue, Miss Qian Renxue, when would it be convenient for me to visit your world?
As soon as Xiao Fan sent the message, he quickly received Qian Renxue's reply.
Qian Renxue: @Xiao Fan, Young Master Xiao, I'll invite you now. Please accept it.
Huang Rong: Are Brother Xiao Fan and Miss Qian Renxue getting together offline too? Snicker
Yan Lingji: Brother Xiao Fan, don't let Miss Qian Renxue steal you away! Mischievous
Xiao Fan: @Huang Rong, @Yan Lingji, stop spamming the group and talking nonsense. Focus on your cultivation!
Xiao Fan: @Qian Renxue, all right.
Just after Xiao Fan sent the two messages, he received a notification from the chat group. Qian Renxue had sent him an invitation to travel between worlds.
Xiao Fan ignored the messages in the group and directly chose to accept. In the next instant, he traveled through the chat group into the Douluo World.
