That left little for Yan Jiu to handle himself.
When Ye Chuqi heard Colin speak, she was kicking a Horned Horse that had charged at her into the pit. A miniature San San hung from her high ponytail, a tiny golden ball that looked like an ordinary, well-behaved ornament. It was telling her, "A High-Rank Magic Beast really has appeared. It's at the peak of high rank. It didn't mean to startle the herd, either. Other people are chasing it."
They had stumbled into someone else's hunt. The fact that the hunters had driven a peak high-rank Demon Beast into a desperate flight said plenty about their strength. But if they were that strong, why did they still have to chase it? There had to be something about this Demon Beast worth going to such lengths for.
Ye Chuqi glanced at Yan Jiu and briefly explained. He understood at once. "Want to take it from them?"
Picking a fight with strangers might not suit their current identities, but if Ye Chuqi wanted to steal their quarry, Yan Jiu wouldn't object. In fact, he thought a fight like that would be more interesting.
Ye Chuqi looked up at the sky. Yan Jiu had grown from a cautious boy into someone far bolder and freer. Well, that was good. Now that he had formidable strength to back him up, there was nothing wrong with showing it.
"Go take a look." Ye Chuqi nodded. "Be careful."
Yan Jiu could handle a High-Rank Magic Beast, but the people who had sent one fleeing for its life might be more than he could take on alone.
Joshua came over with a cheerful grin. "Want my help?"
"Go with him." Things should be easier with Joshua along. Besides, the two of them needed practice working together.
