Black Jade City

Just as they were about to set off, a series of booms rang out. The ground trembled faintly, and the tremors drew closer and closer, as though something enormous was approaching them.

Wang Lufei and the others looked toward the source of the tremors. A magical beast, a Velociraptor seven or eight meters tall and twenty or thirty meters long, emerged from the forest and came before them. Two jets of white vapor blasted from its nostrils, leaving everyone trembling with fear and staring in shock.

At that moment, a young man around their age floated down from the Velociraptor's back and walked toward them. It was none other than Dai Dai Douyalai.

Lister had noticed the commotion from the battle and come over first, telling Dai Dai to follow behind.

"Big Brother."

After walking over, Dai Dai immediately reported to Lister, then asked, "Big Brother, who are these people?"

"Oh, them? Some people I happened to save."

Lister glanced at the group as he answered Dai Dai.

"So that's what happened."

Looking at the Shadow Leopard's corpse on the ground and the injured people, Dai Dai more or less understood what had happened.

"To thank me, they invited me to visit Black Jade City. You've arrived at just the right time. Wang Lufei is badly injured, and so are the others. Let Honghuo give them a ride."

With that, Lister leaped lightly onto the Velociraptor's back.

"All right, Big Brother." "All of you, come up with me."

Dai Dai then led everyone onto the Velociraptor's back, and they set off toward Black Jade City.

On the way to Black Jade City, Lister and Dai Dai told everyone their names. Once the group learned that Dai Dai was also from Yagor Province, they grew even more talkative and familiar with him.

"Brother Daidai, to think you've already reached peak level six as a mage at twenty-two, and this Velociraptor is even your pet."

Wang Lufei spoke to Dai Dai.

After taking a recovery potion and briefly settling himself, Wang Lufei had recovered somewhat.

"Yes, Big Brother helped me with all of that."

As Dai Dai answered, he looked toward Lister at the front of the Velociraptor's back.

Wang Lufei also turned to look at Lister and sighed. "Having a big brother like that really makes people envious. If Big Brother Lister hadn't been here today, we probably would have stayed here as lunch for the magical beasts."

"Yes, that's true."

Looking at Lister, Dai Dai nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Lister turned and asked Wang Lufei:

"Lufei, who's the strongest person in your Monchi Family?"

"Big Brother Lister, in my branch of the Monchi Family, the strongest is my grandfather, a Level Nine Expert. As for the strongest in the whole family, that would of course be our ancestor, a saint-level expert. Our Monchi Family became the foremost family in Yagor Province entirely because of that ancestor. If you want to meet our ancestor, Big Brother Lister, you'll have to go to neighboring Red Jade City. It's the provincial capital of Yagor Province, and our ancestor usually lives there."

Wang Lufei answered Lister.

Lister said, "Red Jade City? That's quite a coincidence."

"A coincidence?"

Lister said, "Yes. Dai Dai and I happen to be heading to Red Jade City this time."

"So you're heading to Red Jade City, Big Brother Lister. That really is a coincidence. How about this? You and Daidai can come with me to Black Jade City and rest for a few days, then I'll go to Red Jade City with you. What do you think?"

Wang Lufei spoke with a sincere expression.

Lister said, "Sure. We've been traveling for so long, it's about time we rested for a few days."

Afterward, they chatted about some interesting things in Yagor Province as the Velociraptor continued toward Black Jade City.

As for why Lister was going to Red Jade City, the capital of Yagor Province, it was because Daidai Douyalai's family was also in Red Jade City. Although it could not compare to the Monchi Family, it was still a major family in Red Jade City. The purpose of this journey was to avenge Daidai. That was why Lister had agreed to visit Black Jade City when Wang Lufei said he belonged to the Monchi Family. Daidai had told him that the Monchi Family was the foremost family in Yagor Province. If helping Daidai take revenge embroiled them in any unnecessary disputes, he could ask Wang Lufei to help resolve them. It certainly wasn't because there would be women and wine that he had accepted Wang Lufei's invitation.

After about two hours, Lister and his party arrived at the gates of Black Jade City.
