With Han Chen's current body refining seventh level cultivation, on the surface, it was equivalent to the strength of a rank 2 beast. Ordinary magical beasts were ranked from one to nine. Above them, there were beast kings, beast emperors, and other powerful beasts.
Although there were a lot of species of beasts in the rear mountains, the highest ranked demon beasts found in the Mystical Peak was only equivalent to a ninth level mastery demon beast. As for those powerful beast kings, they all resided in the deepest parts of the mountain range. Between the two of them and the Mystical Peak, there seemed to be an intention of not disturbing each other.
Of course, once someone invaded their territory, they would not hesitate to attack.
The beasts in the vicinity were only Level 1 or 2, so Han Chen did not take them to heart. At this moment, a panicked cry for help could be heard.
"Hmm?" Han Chen was startled, her voice sounded like he was a girl. He was slightly startled, and witrace of doubt in his heart, he rushed in the direction of the voice.
Chapter 7 - Rank 3 Magical Beasts
"Xiao Wen, don't be nervous, come over to our side!"
"Xiao Wen, don't point your weapon at it."
In the forest, there was a snow-white demon beast with fur like a cirrus. It was over a meter tall, and it was approaching a weak-looking woman with ominous eyes.
The woman's face was filled with panic as she tremblingly retreated.
On the other side, there were four people. From the looks of it, they were his companions. Four of them were three men and one woman. The woman wored robe and had a rather elegant appearance. Her eyebrows were filled with anxiety as she looked at the woman and the magical beast in front of her.
It wahird ranked magical beast, Flowing Cloud Lion, whose movement speed was extremely fast. However, its personality was more docile. As long as it was not angered, it would not take the initiative to attack humans. None of them dared to rush forward, fearing that they would anger the Flowing Wind Lion.
However, the girl named Xiao Wen, was especially nervous. She gripped her longsword so tightly that she was about to cry. Big Sister Xin Lan, I'm scared, quickly come and save me. "
"Why would a Class 3 Magical Beast appear here?" The girl in red clenched her jade hands, and then turned tandsome man beside her, "Wen Zhen, if this continues, then we won't be able to continue anymore. The four of us will attack together and chase away that Flowing Cloud Lion!"
The other two men nodded in agreement.
The handsome man who was called Wen Zhen seemed to have his reservations, as he shook his head and said, "Xin Lan, don't be rash. Perhaps that Flowing Cloud Lion was just trying to scare Xiao Wen."
"Wen Zhen, we four are at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage. There was no need to be afraid of the Flowing Cloud Lion at all. Even if we can't kill it, it would be more than enough to chase it away. "
"I'm not afraid!" Wen Zhen spread out his hands. "I am just not willing to engage in a meaningless fight, believe me, the Flowing Cloud Lion will definitely not harm Xiao Wen."
Just as he finished speaking, the Flowing Cloud Lion suddenly let out a low roar. Xin Lan's face changed, its front legs stretched, as though it was going to attack.
"Big Wei, little monkey, let's go help." Xin Lan did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately called out to the two of them.
"Mm. Alright." The two of them understood, raised their weapons, and rushed forward together with Xin Lan. Xiao Wen, don't panic, we are here to save you. "
Roar! Seeing the actions of the three, the Flowing Cloud Lion roared towards the sky, "Sou!" With a sound, he left behind a white afterimage and directly pounced towards Xiao Wen.
His speed was so fast that it made everyone click their tongues! In just a blink of an eye, he had already traveled five to six meters and arrived in front of the other party. The expressions of Xin Lan and the other two changed, even though they were still several metres away.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Xiao Wen, who was already in a state of panic, was so scared that shsheimmediately lost her mind. She fell backwards, and withump, he fell to the ground. Big Sister Xin Lan, save me. "
Falling to the ground in the face of a ferocious beast was clearly an extremely dangerous action. The Flowing Cloud Lion raised its sharp claws and grabbed towards Xiao Wen.
Xin Lan, on the other hand, was so frightened that her beautiful face lost color, and turned ghastly white, "Xiao Wen."
At this crucial moment, a cold sword light flashed. Ding! An ordinary steel sword was actually able to block the claws of the Flowing Cloud Lion. In the end, nothing terrible happened.
Everyone focused their eyes and realized that there was an additional handsome youth by Xiao Wen's side. His eyes were firm and resolute, and she looked at the Flowing Cloud Lion in front of him with a bit of astonishment.
"A Class 3 Magical Beast would appear here?" Han Chen muttered softly. He then quickly raised his sword and at an extremely tricky angle, pierced towards the Flowing Cloud Lion's eyes. The Flowing Cloud Lion felt the threat and dodged to the side. Han Chen's sword swept past its head and cut off a few strands of its hair.
At the same time, Xin Lan, Dazzling Spring and Little Monkey had also arrived by Xiao Wen's side. Knowing that it could no longer take advantage of the situation, the Flowing Cloud Lion let out a furious roar and fled into the forest.
Han Chen didn't have any plans to chase after them. Although he was confident that he could defeat a Level 3 Beast, the difficulty level was not small. As long as he was fine.
"Xiao Wen, how are you? Are you hurt? " Xin Lan helped Xiao Wen up from the ground and anxiously checked the other party's situation.
Xiao Wen shook her head, and then turned and looked at Han Chen.
The few of them heaved sighs of relief, Xin Lan raised her eyes and looked at Han Chen, and said: "Thank you for saving me earlier, senior brother."
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter!" Han Chen smiled and nodded at him, "Since there is nothing else, I will be leaving first."
"Wait!" Xin Lan shouted gently, "My name is Xin Lan, may I ask what your name is?"
"Han Chen!"
Han Chen? The few of them were stunned, each of them showing a shocked expression. Xin Lan, Xiao Wen and the other three all looked at each other. If one were to mention the name "Han Chen", it was likely that very few people did not know of it.
Han Chen was already used to their expressions, he didn't even wait for them to speak. An ear-piercing voice followed, "Hehe, so you are Great Genius Han. It's my pleasure to meet you!"
If a genius was mentioned to anyone else, it would be a form of praise! And if used on Han Chen, it would be equivalent to "trash". Your words were truly dazzling.
Following his gaze, he saw Wen Zhen walking towards him with an unkind smile, and looking at Han Chen, he did not bother to hide the contempt in his eyes.
Han Chen coldly glanced at him, and then said to Xin Lan and the others, "Miss Xin Lan, I will not stay any longer. "Farewell!"
Seeing that Han Chen was about to leave, Wen Zhen thought that was afraid of him, and the complacency on his face grew even more. Unexpectedly, Xin Lan unexpectedly urged him to stay, and said, "Han Chen, if there's nothing else, come with us to hunt for the Beast Cores!"
"Hmm?" Han Chen was startled.
"What did you say?" Wen Zhen immediately frowned, and said: "Xin Lan, are you sure you're not mistaken? Let him team up with us? "
Xin Lan replied coldly, "What? Do you have any objections? "
"Of course, if you want to team up with him, then I choose to leave."
"Heh heh, is that so? That would be great. " Xin Lan laughed, then took out three beast cores from her pocket and threw them towards the other party. This is for you. Go! "
"You?"
"Hmph." Xin Lan looked straight at him indifferently, and reached out to hold onto Xiao Wen who was beside him, "Wen Zhen, Xiao
Wen was in danger just now. You, a grown man, cowered and refused to save her. What do we need teammates like you for? "
Wen Zhen's face gradually darkened as he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to chase me away, right? "As for the others …"
Even before he could finish speaking, Da Wei and the little monkey beside him had already stood by Xin Lan's side. Da Wei waelatively simple and honest young lad, so he replied, "Xin Lan is right, Wen Zhen, we don't need a teammate like you."
"You?" Wen Zhen gnashed his teeth in anger, his gaze turned to Han Chen, wanting to vent his anger on him, "Who do you think you are? Why did you chase me away for this trash? This kind of trash, can you bring it up with me? "
Just as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of Wen Zhen. The latter's heart was slightly alarmed as he extended his hand and turned to the other party. However, all he saw was a blur.
Pow! A resounding slap on the face caused everyone's heart to shrink. In the next moment, a bright red handprint appeared on Wen Zhen's handsome face.
"This?" Xin Lan, Xiao Wen, and Da Wei were all stunned. What happened just now?
Wen Zhen's face burned with pain, he raised his head and looked at Han Chen's cold eyes. In his heart, he was shocked and angry at the same time. "You, this trash, dare to fight?!"
Pow! Another crisp sound. Wen Zhen was once again slapped in the face. He leapt forward and almost fell to the ground. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood and a broken tooth.
"You damned trash, I'm going to kill you." Wen Zhen was enraged, his eyes turned red and he suddenly pulled out his sword to stab Han Chen.
"Hmph." Han Chen let out a cold laugh, his hands swaying in the air. In an instant, all Wen Zhen could see were the shadows of his palms.
"It's the Thousand Phantom Hands!" The little monkey who was standing beside Xin Lan subconsciously blurted out.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the weapon in Wen Zhen's hand was somehow snatched away by Han Chen. Before he could do anything, his intuition told him that his neck had been grabbed by a strong hand.
Xin Lan, Dazzling Spring and the others all looked at this scene with widened eyes. It was all written on her face. They were all clear that although Wen Zhen was only at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage, he was slightly stronger than them.
However, Han Chen, who was called "Trash", easily seized Wen Zhen's weapon and strangled him on the neck. Were the rumors all fake?
"Who is the actual trash?" The cold aura surged in Han Chen's eyes, and the outline was extremely ruthless.
Wen Zhen was like a crab as he powerlessly moved his four limbs. In the blink of an eye, his previous anger turned into fear and unease. "Let me go, let me go."
"Please pay attention when you speak." Han Chen knocked him down to the ground and shouted: "Scram!"
Wen Zhen shivered as he gasped for breath heavily and retreated a few meters back. He glared at them with hatred and said, "Hmph, remember all of you. To tell you the truth! That Flowing Cloud Lion just now was raised by Senior Sister Mei Ling. "
Mei Ling?
The expressions of Xin Lan, Xiao Wen and the others changed. This Mei Ling was an extremely cold person. Moreover, her natural talent surpassed everyone else, and she had the strength of a ninth level Body Tempering martial artist. She was only one step away from reaching the Qi Refining stage. Amongst the outer court disciples, she was absolutely an outstanding and outstanding disciple.
"So what?" Han Chen calmly replied.
"Don't pretend to be calm. You hurt her pet, she won't let you go."
Han Chen's eyes congealed, and he clenched his sword diagonally, "Scram immediately, or else, I'll kill you."
Chapter 8 - Whirlwind Wolves
In the blink of an eye, there were only the five people left: Han Chen, Xin Lan, Xiao Wen, Dazzling Spring, Little Monkey and Big Might. He looked at Wen Zhen, who had left in a panic. The words that he had said before he left still lingered in everyone's ears.
"Han Chen, I'm really sorry." Xiao Wen weakly walked to the other party's side and said in a small voice, "If Senior Sister Mei Ling comes knocking on your door, I will take responsibility for this matter."
Xin Lan also stepped forward to catch up, "This matter was originally due to us, Han Chen, it has nothing to do with you."
Looking at the two girls' steely expressions, Han Chen revealed a clean and tidy smile, "Hehe, you two don't need to worry. Didn't I just cut off a few strands of hair from that beast? It's not like I hurt it. It can't be that Mei Ling is that rude, right? "
Seeing Han Chen not putting this matter to heart, everyone could not help but be a little surprised. Was this person really the useless trash that the man had mentioned? Or maybe they all had the same name?
"Hmph, that bastard Wen Zhen." The straightforward little monkey could not help but scold, "No wonder he refused to help from the start. He was afraid that Senior Sister Mei Ling would cause trouble for him."
"That's right, I will never have contact with such people ever again." The simple-looking Great Wei also spoke indignantly.
Xin Lan waved her hand, "Alright, alright, stop talking about him, let's continue hunting the beasts!" Then, she turned to look at Han Chen, "Come with us! If there's nothing else. "
"This?" Han Chen rubbed his nose, but upon seeing Xiao Wen, Da Wei and the rest looked forward to it. They could only nod their heads, "Then, I will accept your request."
The newly formed group began to wander around the outskirts of the rear mountains. Of the five people, besides Xiao Wen who was at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage, the others were all at the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage.
In an ordinary team, although it was not strong, it was not weak either. A magical beast of the first or second rank had no chance of escaping from their hands. In the outer regions, there were very few magical beasts that were at the third rank. The Flowing Cloud Lion they met previously was actually raised by someone else.
Han Chen had the thought of going out early on to hunt for beasts. However, that would still be at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering. If he were to encounter a magical beast of the first rank, he would be able to kill it. As for forming a team, no one paid any attention to him.
As expected, strength was the proof of everything.
Bang! A barbed wolf had been hacked to death by the great sword. He retrieved a fingernail-sized crystal core from his head and looked at the people behind him.
"Xin Lan, why don't we go deeper in and take a look? "Perhaps each of the crystals we have collected can be exchanged for a" Pei-Yuan Dan "."
"Haha, don't tell me you want to kill a Class 3 Magical Beast?" The little monkey teased from the side.
"Actually, it's not impossible for the five of us to kill a magical beast of the third rank. A single core from a magical beast of the third rank is enough to make ten or so magical beasts of the second rank! "
These words from Zhang Wei had moved the hearts of everyone. Indeed, the strength of their squad was enough to try and kill a magical beast of the third rank.
After pondering for a moment, Xin Lan cast her gaze at Han Chen. Her red lips slightly moved as she softly asked, "Han Chen, what do you think?"
"I don't care!" Han Chen laughed, and said that he had no objections.
"Alright, let's go another two hundred meters."
It could be seen that Xin Lan had sufficient authority in this group. The simple and honest Da Wei and the straightforward little monkey all trusted her, so there was no need to mention Xiao Wen. When she had nothing to do, he would just hold Xin Lan's hand intimately, probably because she was frightened by the Flowing Cloud Lion earlier.
However, Xiao Wen would peek at Han Chen from time to time. Her clear eyes were mixed with a little oddity.
The few of them walked towards the depths of the mountain range. The lush and verdant trees blocked out the sunlight. A few strands of light were cast down from the leav
es on the tree. It was quiet, and the atmosphere was rather quiet.
Xiao Wen nervously pulled Xin Lan, her big eyes looking at her surroundings.
Roar! With an angry roar, a nearly two-meter-tall tiger beast with red fur on its back and a white belly leapt out of the jungle.
"It'lass 3 Magical Beast, Red Boned Tiger. We've trespassed into its territory." He picked up his weapon, ready to fight at any moment.
The Red Beard Tiger waelatively common magical beast of the third rank and was slightly weaker than the Flowing Cloud Lion.
"Xiao Wen, stand here and don't move." Xin Lan warned Xiao Wen repeatedly, and after that, the little monkey exchanged a glance with him. The two of them understood each other and rushed towards the Red Beard Tiger together with Xin Lan. Han Chen merely stood by Xiao Wen's side. He temporarily didn't have any intention of making a move.
Seeing that three people dared to set their sights on him, the Red Beard Tiger was furious. It opened its huge mouth, revealing its cold and sharp teeth. With a leap, he pounced towards the vanguard position of the group of experts.
"Look at my Violent Ape divine ability!" Dafei gave a loud shout and quickly used his innate ability. Shockingly, a faint illusion of a violent ape appeared behind him.
"Spirit Monkey Divine Art!"
"Sea Heart Flame!"
The little monkey and Xin Lan also used their respective Inherent Skills. Han Chen's eyes could not help but light up, and looking at the grey haired monkey behind the little monkey, he could not help but laugh, "No wonder he's called little monkey!"
The little monkey's real name was Zhou Hao, and when he was introducing him previously, Han Chen was curious as to why the other party was related to Zhou Hao.
Xiao Wen pursed her lips and laughed, "Han Chen, what is your innate ability?"
As soon as he said it, Xiao Wen felt that he said it wrongly. Who in Mystical Peak didn't know that Han Chen was a "trashy" trashy person. An apologetic look appeared on his pretty face. "About that, I'm sorry, I … I didn't mean to do that."
