Beauty and the Bodyguard

If it was placed outside, it might not pose any threat to him, but this was its home ground. Who knew how strong this guy could be!

Lin Yi didn't want to waste his Qi on the black ape since he was new here. He turned around and tried to shake it off with his butterfly microsteps. Even though this was the opponent's home ground, Lin Yi had absolute confidence in his speed.

But what was unexpected was that even with his tolerance, the black ape was still in hot pursuit, as if it wouldn't stop until he died. Lin Yi was a little confused-what did he do to piss this thing off? did he accidentally step into its nest?

In the blink of an eye, the man and the ape had already covered a distance of several thousand feet in the dense canopy. At this time, the black ape finally slowed down, as if it had the intention of giving up.

Lin Yi let out a breath of relief-this confirmed his previous guess. It seemed that he had really accidentally stepped into the enemy's territory. To the forest spirit beasts who were very territorial, if an outsider like Lin Yi broke into their nest, they would definitely fight to the death!

However, just as the black ape was about to give up, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared above the black ape's head without any warning. Taking advantage of the black ape's lack of reaction, it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed it whole. Then, it whistled back into the dense canopy, making it impossible for people to see its true appearance.

Hiss! Lin Yi, who had witnessed the entire scene, couldn't help but take a deep breath. He quickly left the scene before the beast could even see him.

After carefully escaping a thousand feet away, Lin Yi finally slowed down. He was nervous, but his lips subconsciously curled up,"This back mountain had given him a solid show of might!

After all, he was still an early Foundation Stage practitioner-the scene just now was shocking and numbing, but Lin Yi still managed to gather enough information in his hurry.

The giant was a multi-colored giant python, its body as thick as a water bucket. Lin Yi couldn't see its entire body, but he could guess that it was at least thirty meters long.

More importantly, this multicolored giant python was able to swallow the Sky Class middle phase black ape in one bite. This meant that its strength was at least Sky Class full completion, and could even be a strong foundation Stage spirit beast!

In this deep forest, facing such a ferocious Foundation Stage spirit beast, Lin Yi didn't have the slightest confidence in escaping unscathed. It wasn't impossible for him to lose his life here. Fortunately, the Python's prey was the black ape. If it had been him, he might not have been able to Dodge the attack just now!

Thinking back to the warning he'd given Lin Yi before leaving, Lin Yi felt that it was absolutely right. His enemy wasn't just the newbies-the back mountain itself was the source of the danger!

It had only been a few minutes since he had disembarked from the aerial spirit beast, but he had already seen two powerful spirit beasts, one of which might even be at the foundation establishment stage. This kind of thing was simply unimaginable in the outside world.

One had to know that this was only the outer area of the back mountain. If it was the inner area or even more central area, what would it be like? Not to mention those Sky Class full Masters, Lin Yi felt that even a Foundation master like him wouldn't be able to live past a day!

What Lin Yi didn't know was that there were a lot of powerful and ferocious Foundation Stage spirit beasts in the outer area of the back mountain, but it wasn't so many that one could just step on them. If there were these giant pythons everywhere, then other Sky Class peak phase newbies wouldn't be able to survive, let alone pick herbs.

The reason why he had encountered so many vicious people was not simply because of bad luck. Someone had deliberately warned him from behind to throw him into the most dangerous area in the outer periphery and try to make him die in the mouth of the spirit beasts.

In order to greet him, Meng jueguang had even specially asked Xu lingchong to come forward. After all, with his power, these Masters in the back mountain Hall would not even give a damn about him, let alone help him. However, Xu lingchong was different. They had to give him face. After all, it was just a small matter.

It might be a small matter to them, but it was a matter of life and death to Lin Yi. If it wasn't for the fact that he was hiding his foundation level strength, he would've died in a place like this.

Lin Yi was much more cautious after that display of power, but there weren't any other powerful creatures within a few miles, perhaps because of the giant python. Even if there were, they were small, harmless beasts like the groundhogs.

Lin Yi guessed that the giant python wouldn't even bother to open its mouth even if he brought it to it.

Lin Yi relaxed a little after coming to this conclusion. It was dangerous to move around these powerful spirit beasts, but it wasn't without its benefits. At least it could save him a lot of trouble.

And that giant python had just swallowed a Sky Class mid phase black ape, and according to the habits of snakes, they shouldn't need to eat for a while. This was an innate instinct, and the Foundation Stage giant python was no exception. In other words, there shouldn't be any other danger in this area for at least a while.

This was perfect-it gave Lin Yi the best chance to search for herbs. Normally, other spirit or wild beasts wouldn't dare to step into this area under the Python's threat, so the herbs here should be growing better than anywhere else!

After making up his mind, Lin Yi jumped down from the top of the tree. After all, herbs didn't grow on trees, with a few exceptions.

As expected, Lin Yi found something as soon as he got to the ground.

It was a light blue flower that grew in the grass. At first glance, it was unremarkable, but if one looked closely, they would find that this flower was completely made up of a single petal. The flower's arc was very mysterious, as if it contained the mysteries of the world. Most importantly, although this flower was small, it was full of spiritual energy, which was the characteristic of herbs.

"Could it be a flower?" Lin Yi thought about it-he remembered the shape of the flower. There were hundreds of common herbs on the walls of the back mountain Hall, and he'd scanned through them before he left-he saw this flower. (To be continued.)
