Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi was hiding here, and although it looked safe, a few dumb spirit beasts passing by didn't notice him, but a flying spirit beast in the air did. It was a bat that was several times larger, its body was black as ink, and a pair of huge wings like a glider. On its head, there was a sharp spike-like antenna.

After it noticed Lin Yi, it immediately charged at him, causing Lin Yi to be shocked! It was a Mystic mid phase bat, but luckily the Skybolt pig was a Mystic late phase peak spirit beast.

"Ji Ji!" The pig said something to the bat.

"Wuwuwu ..." The Black Bat saw Skybolt pig and was obviously surprised. It didn't know why Skybolt pig was with a human cultivator.

"Ji Ji!" The pig started talking to the bat again.

The two Spirit beasts exchanged a few more words before the Black Bat left. The pig, however, turned to Lin Yi,""Ji Ji ..."

She pointed at the bottom, telling Lin Yi to leave.

"What's going on?" Lin Yi jumped down with Skybolt pig in his arms and returned to the ground.

Skybolt pig wrote on the soil,""That black bat wanted to attack you, so I used my strength to force it to leave. However, if we encounter a higher level flying spirit beast, I have no choice. I'm afraid that the Black Bat will go back and call for more companions, so we should leave this place as soon as possible."

"That's good. " Lin Yi nodded and smiled bitterly. This was the world of spirit beasts, and human practitioners were insignificant in this world. He wondered how qikun and the others were doing.

"Ji Ji ..." The pig started writing on the ground again.

"Oh? Are you saying that there are good treasures there?" Lin Yi paused as the pig wrote on the ground, There's a treasure there!

"Ji Ji!" The pig nodded.

Lin Yi hesitated after seeing what the pig wrote-his purpose here was to collect herbs for level three pills and protect qikun while he was at it, but the pig said that there was treasure here. Logically speaking, Lin Yi didn't want to go.

But since he was already here, he wouldn't give up until he got to the bottom of it.

"That treasure, is it very useful to me?" Lin Yi asked after some hesitation.

"Ji Ji!" The pig nodded.

"Then let's go and take a look!" "But, if you come across any of those herbs I need, help me find them!" Lin Yi said through gritted teeth.

"Ji Ji!" The pig nodded.

And so, one man and one pig went in the direction Skybolt pig pointed out. Lin Yi didn't know where to go to the safe spot on the map yet, and he didn't know the terrain yet. He might as well go to the place Skybolt pig pointed out first.

Skybolt pig's senses were sharp, and he would always alert Lin Yi if there were spirit beasts in the distance. Lin Yi wasn't in a hurry, so he found a safe place to hide. The whole journey was pretty scary, but what made Lin Yi depressed was that he didn't get a single herb!

There were spirit herbs, but they were all growing by the lake or beside the swamp. Those were usually the lairs of spirit beasts, and Lin Yi would avoid them as much as he could. Why would he go and pick them himself? Lin Yi finally understood why the sky elixir sect's trial rewards were so generous.

If he was already in such a state with the pig by his side, then those who didn't have the pig would probably have a hard time. No wonder only a few of them survived, let alone those who managed to get the spiritual herbs.

Lin Yi's heart trembled as he walked-after all, he wouldn't even be afraid of a Sky Class master. He could run if he couldn't win, right? But spirit beasts were different. Some of them were super fast, and Lin Yi couldn't outrun them at all. The Black Bat was like a plane, and it was in front of Lin Yi in the blink of an eye. Lin Yi couldn't compete with that speed at all.

He didn't know why, but he'd met quite a few spirit beasts before, but there weren't any at the end of the road. What made him feel strange was that there wasn't even a single spirit beast!

"Why aren't there any spirit beasts nearby?" Lin Yi looked at Skybolt pig strangely.

"Oink Oink ..." The pig shook his head, indicating that he didn 't.

"Okay ..." Lin Yi continued to move forward, but his heart was full of vigilance. After all, there was always something wrong. It was hard to say what was ahead!

Otherwise, why were there so many spirit beasts before, but no spirit beasts here?

There was no more road ahead after a while-it was a long mountain range, and Lin Yi didn't know where it extended to, but it blocked his way.

"There's no more path ahead. Where is the treasure?" Lin Yi stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the vast mountains.

"Ji Ji ..." The pig pointed at the mountain with its paw.

"You mean, the treasure is on the mountain?" Lin Yi asked.

The pig nodded.

"On the mountain...I'll see what this place is first." Lin Yi said as he took out the map from his pocket. He'd been walking for so long, and he had a rough understanding of the terrain, especially with the Green Mountains in front of him-it was a landmark.

Very quickly, Lin Yi found his location and the mountain range in front of him!

"Five evils mountain range?" Lin Yi froze, his face changing immediately. This mountain range was marked as an extremely dangerous place on the map!

However, the Jade didn't give any warning, which meant that the danger wasn't nearby. This map was a miniature version, and the places marked on it were likely to be several kilometers, tens of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers away. The danger might not be right in front of them.

"Skybolt pig, I've confirmed our current location, but the map says that this place is extremely dangerous. What do you think?" Lin Yi said as he placed the map in front of Skybolt pig.

Skybolt pig looked at the map and the mountains, confused. He didn't feel any danger, but after thinking about it, he realized that Skybolt pig's special ability was that he could search for treasures, but he couldn't sense danger. At most, he could sense the presence of his own kind, but it was only close, not far.

To go or not to go? Lin Yi was hesitating. The map clearly indicated that this was an extremely dangerous place, but he didn't want to give up. He was already here, and the treasure was useful to him. It would be a shame if he left without getting anything. (To be continued.)
