"This is..."
When Luo'er's beautiful eyes made out the Demon Beasts above, she couldn't help exclaiming softly, "Silver Moon Wolves?"
She knew exactly what Silver Moon Wolves meant. They were one of the most united Demon Beast packs in existence.
Moreover, their strength generally rivaled that of Martial Masters, making them extremely difficult Demon Beasts to deal with.
They were also a nightmare for low-level human Martial Artists. The chances of surviving an encounter with them were slim.
"You actually knew this was Silver Moon Wolf territory?" A trace of surprise flashed through the girl's beautiful eyes as she spoke.
"I didn't know either. This stretch of forest was pretty quiet, so I figured there might be a way out here," Chu Tiannan whispered, cautiously watching the Silver Moon Wolves above.
"I couldn't tell before, but you're pretty smart!"
"What's that supposed to mean..."
Just as the two quietly slipped away, the Earth-Splitting Bear on the slope spotted them, of course. It roared furiously and tried to give chase, only to be surrounded by several Beginner Beast General Level Silver Moon Wolves.
Bang!
Facing several opponents of the same level, the Earth-Splitting Bear immediately punched an attacking Silver Moon Wolf away, infuriating all the others.
All the Silver Moon Wolves lunged at it in a frenzy, and the Earth-Splitting Bear finally realized something was wrong.
It wanted to flee, but it was already too late.
It was easy to imagine just how miserable this Earth-Splitting Bear's end would be.
An unknown amount of time passed.
When the two finally emerged from the mountain forest, Chu Tiannan broke into a cold sweat as he recalled that terrifying moment.
A Beast General Level Demon Beast. What a shame I couldn't Devour it. Once he calmed down, Chu Tiannan shook his head slightly and muttered inwardly.
Host! Devour can only be used on Demon Beasts, enemies, or other things you personally kill. Anything you did not kill yourself cannot be Devoured at all!
The system's voice rang out in Chu Tiannan's mind at that moment, making his expression freeze before he shook his head with a smile.
I knew Devour couldn't be that heaven-defying. Otherwise, I could just hide somewhere and Devour like crazy. I'd have reached Martial God Level ages ago...
Night!
Inside a monastery hidden in the mountain forest, a campfire burned in the chapel. Chu Tiannan idly added dry firewood while Luo'er sat on a chair hugging her knees, her thoughts unknown.
The atmosphere was rather quiet.
"Hey!" In the end, Luo'er was the first to speak.
"What is it?" Chu Tiannan looked at her.
"Which Martial Artist academy are you from?" the girl asked softly, her bright eyes fixed on Chu Tiannan.
"I'm not from any Martial Artist academy. I'm just an ordinary person. Believe me?" Chu Tiannan shook his head slightly.
His soul had transmigrated here, and he had nearly lost his life before he could fully understand this world. How could he have had time to learn anything else?
Luo'er didn't press him further. After all, she could tell that Chu Tiannan seemed to be self-taught and lacked a complete cultivation system.
At the very least, she was quite surprised that, despite being an Advanced Martial Artist, Chu Tiannan hadn't studied any combat manuals.
"Are you from East China Base City too?" This time, Chu Tiannan asked the question. He really did want to know.
Just how wealthy a family did she come from to afford B-grade recovery potions? Did her family own a mine?
"I... more or less!"
"What do you mean, more or less?" Chu Tiannan raised an eyebrow and couldn't help asking.
"I was vacationing in East China Base City. Who could have imagined that a base city that had been safe for a hundred years would be overrun by Demon Beasts? And I had the bad luck to be right in the city center," Luo'er said casually before flipping up onto a roof beam.
"I'm sleepy. It's your turn to keep watch tonight."
"You make it sound like you kept watch last night..." The corner of Chu Tiannan's mouth twitched slightly before he sat cross-legged by the campfire and began cultivating.
Watching the young figure below cultivate earnestly, a special gleam flashed through Luo'er's gemlike eyes. A faint smile curved her lips, making even the surrounding light seem considerably dimmer.
This nerve-racking life continued for another three days. Compared to before, Chu Tiannan found that having a beauty for company added much more vitality to this otherwise dull journey.
Only now, they had run into trouble again-real trouble!
"Drive faster!" An off-road vehicle raced along the highway, brutally ramming overturned vehicles out of its way as it sped ahead.
Behind it, several enormous horned rhinoceros figures followed closely, their numbers frightening.
"What rotten luck. Out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's jaws!" Sitting in the passenger seat, Chu Tiannan watched Luo'er, who was focused on driving, with his heart in his throat, then glanced at the Demon Beasts pursuing them frantically as he spoke with a bitter smile.
"A grown man who can't even drive!" The only answer Chu Tiannan received was a cool, mocking remark.
"How would I have the money to buy a car?" Chu Tiannan rolled his eyes. This body's previous owner had been dirt poor. Even his room had been rented. Buy a car?
"Watch out! They're catching up!" Chu Tiannan warned!
"Hold on tight!" Luo'er seemed to have become the very incarnation of a veteran driver. She floored the accelerator, instantly pushing their speed to the limit. The whole vehicle felt slightly airborne, but the effect was obvious.
They opened up some distance from the Iron-Horned Rhinoceroses chasing relentlessly behind them.
Chu Tiannan, who had watched the whole thing in a cold sweat, felt his heart pounding. Looking at Luo'er, he became convinced of one truth.
Big Sis Luo was a real badass. Not someone to mess with. Definitely not!
