Black-Robed Yun Yun

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group had dominated Green Mountain Town for so many years, yet an outsider had killed their Third Regiment Commander and provoked the entire mercenary group. To people like them, who lived with blades at their throats, this was an irreconcilable blood feud.

Mu She stared furiously at Hao Meng's corpse, then turned and ordered, "Spread the word. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is placing a bounty on Xiao Yu. Anyone who provides useful information will be rewarded with one hundred thousand gold coins. Anyone who brings Xiao Yu's head will be rewarded with a Xuan Tier Dou Technique and may directly become an elite member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

"If the tiger doesn't show its might, people really think anyone can bully the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"

Before long, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's bounty had spread through every street and alley of Green Mountain Town. Every mercenary who came here was tempted by it.

Whether it was a Xuan Tier Dou Technique or becoming an elite member of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, both were enough to make them flock to it.

Inside the Thousand Medicine Hall, Xiao Yi Xian listened as the mercenaries outside discussed the matter. Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, but—

Noticing the Thousand Medicine Hall attendants secretly watching her, Xiao Yi Xian could only shake her head and smile bitterly. She murmured, "I hope you can escape this disaster..."

In a dense forest somewhere within the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yu looked at the changes to his status panel.

Naturally, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's actions could not be hidden from Xiao Yu. However, after taking Hao Meng's Storage Ring and using the Bone Chilling Flame, he easily burned through the ring's seal and found that Hao Meng had plenty of daily necessities stored inside.

For the time being, he no longer needed to return to Green Mountain Town, nor could he linger nearby and risk being surrounded by those mercenaries.

Today, he had discovered that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had sent many more people into the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Coupled with the numerous mercenaries who had seen the bounty and wanted to kill him, there were quite a lot of them.

It seemed Hao Meng's death had finally made the Wolf Head Mercenary Group take him seriously.

But when Xiao Yu saw that Mu She's and Gan Mu's favorability toward him were both at 30—one already at the point of irreconcilability while the other was merely disgusted—he realized the system's favorability ratings had subtle differences.

When favorability was at a critical threshold, their attitudes toward him could still change.

But his immediate priority was to keep a low profile and develop first. Once he became stronger, he could return and farm the Wolf Head Mercenary Group boss. Thus, Xiao Yu looked at the mercenaries searching the forest behind him, grinned, and gradually headed deeper into the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

With the system, along with the portion of Medicine Elder's experience he had already absorbed, the Magic Beast Mountain Range was not terribly dangerous as long as Xiao Yu remained careful.

And the reason Xiao Yu continued deeper was because of a woman.

Just kidding!

Of course, it was because the system had issued another quest. Otherwise, he would never go in there to court death.

With his mere Seven-Star Dou Zhe strength, wanting to gain any benefits in here was not merely difficult—it was basically impossible.

Those fourth- or fifth-rank magic beasts could kill him several times over with a single mouthful of saliva.

This was the quest the system had issued.

Main Quest: Help Yun Yun obtain the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Amethyst Spirit Crystal.

Quest Reward:

Earth Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique—Cloud Crane Shadow (Spear Technique)

An Earth Tier Dou Technique!!!

And it was precisely the spear technique Dou Technique Xiao Yu lacked most right now.

Clearly, the system was forcing Xiao Yu to go.

Xiao Yu could only continue advancing deeper into the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was a sixth-rank magic beast, equivalent to a human Dou Emperor powerhouse.

He was only a mere Seven-Star Dou Zhe now. If it were not for the system—

Xiao Yu did not want to get involved at all.

Although he would not face much danger in the Magic Beast Mountain Range as long as he was careful, things were uncertain once he reached the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's vicinity.

Moreover, Xiao Yu did not know the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's exact territory, so he could only keep heading deeper.

Along the way, Xiao Yu passed through the territories of numerous magic beasts in terror.

He had now arrived at a swamp, where there was also a magic beast known as an Earth Dragon Rhino.

It was a type of magic beast that lived near swamps.

Its entire body was covered in a thick layer of scales, giving it astonishing defensive power. It also had a sharp rhinoceros horn growing from its forehead. It resembled a rhinoceros from Xiao Yu's previous life, but was even larger, nearly five meters long.

If not for the Shadowless Mask given by the system concealing his aura, Xiao Yu would have been discovered long ago.

Even so, he was splashed all over by the swamp water kicked up by the Earth Dragon Rhino, yet he did not dare move at all.

As a result, Xiao Yu was now covered from head to toe in foul-smelling mud.

Only after the Earth Dragon Rhino disappeared from sight did Xiao Yu dare crawl quietly out from behind the huge rock where he had hidden.

Pinching his nose, he took the chance to get far away from the area.

When he reached a river, Xiao Yu looked around and saw that the surroundings were fairly peaceful, without any especially dangerous magic beasts. He decided to wash up and rest here for a while.

After all, no one could endure being surrounded by such a foul stench for long.

After washing himself in the river, Xiao Yu immediately felt as though life had become much easier.

Just as he was about to go ashore, he discovered a black-robed figure standing beside his clothes. The loose black robe concealed the person's figure, making it difficult for Xiao Yu to judge anything.

But considering how dangerous this place was, this person had to be at least a Dou Ling, perhaps even a Dou Wang-level expert.

"Um... may I ask what advice you have for me, Senior?"

With only his head above the water, Xiao Yu could only ask respectfully.

The black-robed person showed no reaction upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. They merely walked over and sat beside the campfire.

Seeing the black-robed person's attitude, Xiao Yu could only climb ashore and quickly put on his clothes.

He once again bowed to the black-robed person and said with a smile, "Senior, meeting in a place like this must be fate. May I ask your honorable name?"

A cool, slightly hoarse voice came from beneath the black robe.

"Why has a tiny Dou Zhe like you come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu did not want to reveal his true identity. After all, he was still afraid of causing trouble that might implicate the Xiao Clan, so he could only play the victim. "Senior, you may not know this. I was originally the eldest legitimate son of my family, but my mother died in childbirth, and my father found a new lover."

"Under my vicious stepmother's torment, even though I awakened my talent, she regarded me as a thorn in her side. She always wanted to kill me and leave the family fortune to the child she gave birth to."

"With no other choice, I could not bear to see my family members slaughter one another over a little inheritance. I could only leave home, suffering countless hardships along the way, before finally ending up here through a series of coincidences..."

System: "..."

Black-robed person: "..."

"Do you think I'm that easy to fool..."

The black-robed person's calm voice sounded beside Xiao Yu's ear.

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly. "Haha, I was just joking with you, Senior."

As he spoke, he directly sat beside the black-robed person, took out some magic beast meat he had saved earlier from his backpack, and began roasting it.

He casually started chatting with the black-robed person. "By the way, Senior, you must have some important business to venture so deeply into the Magic Beast Mountain Range, right?"

He was only a tiny Dou Zhe anyway. If this person wanted to harm him, there was nowhere he could run in a place filled with magic beasts. So he completely relaxed.
