The Jia Nan City, where the Jia Lan Academy is located, is situated in an ancient primeval forest. Its location is quite unique, and even the magical beast Griffin would need more than half a day to fly there.
During this time, the Griffin landed to rest, and Instructor Ruo Lin took out some dry food and water and handed them to Xiao Tian.
"Teacher Ruo Lin, have some of mine, it's very nutritious."
Looking at the fruit Ruo Lin Xiao Tian had taken out, so clear and lustrous, its rich spiritual energy invigorated her and refreshed her. She couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder he's Dou Wang! This kind of fruit is worth over 100,000 gold coins on the market!"
Xiao Tian blinked and chuckled, "I don't know, but I just picked them casually in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Anyway, they were quite delicious, tasting similar to cherries."
"Cherry? What kind of fruit is that?" Instructor Ruo Lin couldn't help but say enviously, "I really envy you geniuses, you see so much and eat so many kinds."
"Anyway, it's a fruit that can beautify and whiten skin, and has high nutritional value, so this fruit isn't bad either." Xiao Tian casually brushed it off.
Upon hearing that the fruit in her hand could beautify, whiten, and nourish the skin, Instructor Ruolin's eyes lit up.
Phew!
Sensing something amiss, the Griffin alerted Ruo Lin and Xiao Tian that a magical beast was approaching.
" Xiao Tian, we can't stay too long. This is, after all, a forest teeming with magical beasts. Although the academy's experts have killed and driven away many fourth- and fifth-tier magical beasts here over the years, some are still lurking."
In fact, Xiao Tian had sensed it long ago. His terrifying Spiritual Soul Power locked onto the fifth-tier magical beast Ground-Drilling Dragon, when it approached within four hundred meters.
The Ground-Drilling Dragon is a type of dragon-like magical beast. It is extremely powerful at digging and has strong attack methods. It can create earth pulses and small-scale earthquakes. Moreover, it is small in size and its body is covered with hard stone scales. Its flesh is not good, so its usable value is generally low. Only its Magic Core is valuable.
Xiao Tian secretly used his innate ability, "Smite," on the Ground-Drilling Dragon, then smiled at Instructor Ruo Lin and said, "I've already chased it away. Let the Griffin rest a bit more."
Instructor Ruo Lin felt relieved knowing that Xiao Tian was Dou Wang (Battle King).
" Xiao Tian, how did you scare him away? I didn't see you make a move, and you didn't even show any imposing presence."
Xiao Tian chuckled, "Monster beasts are extremely sensitive to danger. I just glared at the spot where that monster was, and it got startled."
He had just finished speaking when, a few hundred meters away, the fifth-tier magical beast Earth-Burrowing Dragon, which had been subjected to Xiao Tenten ability, Smite, let out a roar, tearing open the earth. It looked completely bewildered, its beady green eyes staring at Xiao Tian and the others in the distance with suspicion. Then, after hesitating for a moment, it turned around and burrowed away.
"My God!" Instructor Ruo Lin recognized it clearly; it was a Tier 5 magical beast from the monster encyclopedia, the Earth-Burrowing Dragon.
These cunning magical beasts launch surprise attacks from underground, making them difficult to defend against. Even a Dou Wang could be torn apart if he is not careful.
"As expected of Dou Wang expert, thank goodness you were here, Xiao Tian, otherwise it would have been really dangerous." Ruo Lin patted her chest, looking relieved.
"Huh, what did I feel like something just flashed by?" Ruo Lin rubbed her eyes and looked in the direction of the fifth-tier magical beast Earth-Burrowing Dragon.
Xiao Tian chuckled inwardly, naturally not revealing that it was two clones he had created to hunt down the fifth-tier magical beast Earth-Burrowing Dragon.
It's a King Level magical beast, after all, and it's incredibly skilled at digging tunnels. Even if you can't subdue it, its Magic Core is still valuable.
At this moment, the Earth-Burrowing Dragon felt uneasy. It sensed that it was being watched, because two lightning-fast figures on the ground were following it, and one of the lightning-fast figures seemed about to make a move.
