Jianchen nodded inside when he heard Kendall's words. His impression of Kendall immediately rose to a whole new level. On the Tian Yuan Continent, where people's viciousness was no less than the jianghu in his previous life, meeting someone as selfless as captain Kendall who only cared about the lives of his subordinates was indeed very difficult. Most importantly, with Kendall's strength as a beginner Saint Master, he might not be able to kill a Class 3 Magical Beast by himself, but he was more than enough to deal with a Class 2 Magical Beast. It was a pity that he did not hunt Class 2 Magical Beasts by himself. Instead, he was willing to give up on his even more bountiful harvest, leading several Great Saints and Saint Realm members to hunt the magical beasts together. Although the harvest from hunting the magical beasts would be split according to the amount of contribution, Kendall's harvest would still be much less. It would not even be half of his harvest from hunting the magical beasts alone.
Just this alone made Jianchen feel admiration for captain Kendall. However, Jianchen felt speechless about the harvest Kendall's group had obtained in the Magical Beast Forest. Even with a Saint Master leading the group and the support of five Great Saints, such a powerful group had only obtained a pitiful few monster cores in a day. Jianchen felt disbelief at this. After all, when he roamed the Magical Beast Mountain Range by himself, he would obtain at least ten to twenty Class 2 Magical Beast Cores in a day. As for Class 3 Magical Beast Cores, he estimated that he would obtain around ten to twenty Class 3 Magical Beast Cores in a day. Such efficiency could not be compared to the Flame Mercenaries.
At this moment, Jianchen's ears twitched slightly. He turned his head slightly and stared at a patch of weeds to his side with a cold gaze. He had already sensed that there was a magical beast moving around a dozen meters away from him. However, the magical beast's movements were extremely subtle, so Kendall's group did not notice it at all.
The magical beast remained there for a while, but it did not attack them as Jianchen had expected. Instead, it quietly retreated.
Sensing that the magical beast had retreated, Jianchen was even more puzzled.
"What's going on? Could it be that those Demonic Beasts have discovered that our team is too strong and think that they are no match for us? That's why they haven't come out to die in vain." Jianchen thought inwardly. But just as he thought of this, another doubt appeared in his mind. Because low-level magical beasts like these didn't have any intelligence, how could they make such a judgment?
When Jianchen thought back to the last time he entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it didn't matter if it was rank one, rank two, or rank three magical beasts, they would all immediately rush out upon seeing him, or hide in some secret place to launch a sneak attack. The situation was completely different from now.
"What's going on? Could it be that we have too many people? Is that why those rank 1 Magical Beasts don't dare to come out?" Jianchen's gaze swept over everyone, his face full of doubt. This was because along the way, he had already discovered several magic beasts of about grade one hiding in the dark.
At this time, there was a strange movement in the weeds in front of them. Then, a black shadow suddenly rushed out and shot towards Kendall at an extremely fast speed.
Due to the fact that everyone had been vigilant along the way, the moment the black shadow appeared, it was immediately discovered by Commander Kant and Dier. Seeing the black shadow pouncing towards him, Commander Kant laughed heartily and shouted, "Good timing, we've finally met one." As he spoke, a large axe appeared in Captain Kendall's hand. Then, the sharp axe cut through the air, bringing with it a piercing sound as it chopped towards the incoming shadow at an extremely fast speed.
Just as Kendall was about to attack, a palm-sized long sword appeared in Dier's hand, ready to attack at any time.
"Ding!"
The huge axe in Kendall's hand collided with the black shadow in midair, emitting a light ring. The black shadow's forward momentum came to an abrupt stop, and then it was sent flying by the powerful rebound force of the axe.
The black shadow slid back five meters in the air before steadily landing on the ground. At this time, everyone could clearly see the true appearance of this black shadow. It was actually a tiger that was as tall as a person. Its entire body was pitch-black, and on its front claws, several of those sharp claws had already been broken and were stained with blood.
"Brothers, surround it!" Kendall shouted, and then waved the huge axe in his hand again to attack the black tiger in front of him. As for Hu Po, Chang Ningfeng, and Zhou Dakai, the four Great Saints, they each scattered around the black tiger to prevent it from escaping. As for Dier, who had the strength of an advanced Great Saint, he joined the battle with a long sword in his hand, and joined forces with Kendall to kill the black tiger.
This black tiger was a rank two magical beast. Facing the siege of a beginner Saint and an advanced Great Saint, it could be said that it had no chance of winning. Soon, the black tiger's body was covered with terrifying wounds. Bright red blood flowed out from its body, dyeing its black fur purplish red.
Jianchen, Xiao Dao, and Yun Xuan stood in the distance and watched the battle without blinking. Due to the natural superiority of magical beasts, even an ordinary Great Saint was not a match for a rank two magical beast. Therefore, in such a battle, Xiao Dao and the others who only had the strength of a Saint could not intervene at all. Even if they went up, they would probably increase the casualties for nothing.
Looking at Kendall and Dier who were fighting the black tiger, Xiao Dao's face was full of eagerness. His eyes were full of yearning. From the looks of it, he wanted nothing more than to transform into Kendall and have a fierce battle with the black tiger.
"I must cultivate seriously in the future and strive to reach the level of Saint Master as soon as possible. That way, I can hunt rank two magical beast cores by myself." Xiao Dao clenched his teeth and said fiercely.
Hearing this, Yun Xuan who was standing beside Xiao Dao couldn't help but chuckle. He said, "Xiao Dao, your strength is still at the intermediate Saint Master level. There's a considerable distance between you and the Saint Master level. With your cultivation talent, I reckon that you'll have to wait until you're forty years old before you can become a Saint Master, or even more."
"So what if I'm forty years old? Didn't you see that Kendall became a Saint Master at this age? In any case, I will become a Saint Master one day." Xiao Dao replied with a bit of dissatisfaction. Then, his eyes revealed a trace of yearning as he muttered, "Once I have the strength of a Saint Master, I can roam the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone. Fighting against magical beasts by myself, how awe-inspiring would that be."
Seeing Xiao Dao's yearning expression, Yun Xuan helplessly shook his head and muttered inwardly, "Is a Saint Master that amazing? Isn't it just bullying rank two magical beasts? Do you think that you can run amok in the Magical Beast Mountain Range just because you have the strength of a Saint Master?" Then, Yun Xuan turned to Jianchen who was standing beside him and said, "Hey, Jianchen, how many times have you entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Seeing that you're so young, it can't be your first time, right?"
Hearing this, Jianchen indifferently replied, "It should be the second time." Although Jianchen had entered the forest once to hunt magical beasts in Kargath Academy, that wasn't an official hunt. Moreover, the magical beasts in the forest were raised by the academy, so he directly ignored it.
Yun Xuan's eyes lit up, immediately becoming interested. He immediately asked, "Then how many people were there when you first entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range? How strong were they? Were there any powerful experts like Kendall?"
Hearing this, Jianchen turned to look at Yun Xuan. After a slight hesitation, he said, "The first time I entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone, but …"
Before Jianchen could finish, Yun Xuan interrupted, "What? The first time you entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone? Wow, Jianchen, I really admire you too much."
Jianchen bitterly smiled, "Yun Xuan, you don't need to be so loud. The first time I went alone, I only wandered around the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
Yun Xuan looked at Jianchen with a face full of admiration, "Jianchen, I really admire you. I admire your guts. Your guts are really too big. Don't you know that even the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range are very dangerous? If you encounter a first rank magical beast, you can still escape if you can't beat it. But if you encounter a second rank magical beast, then your little life will end there." After saying this, Yun Xuan patted his chest, a look of fear on his face as he said, "But you brat, you're very lucky. You didn't encounter any magical beasts. Otherwise, you'd most likely be finished."
"That's right, Jianchen. In the future, don't come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone. Although our journey was very peaceful, you mustn't look down on the Magical Beast Mountain Range because of this." Xiao Dao solemnly said.
Hearing the words of the two, Jianchen bitterly smiled, "Okay, I know. Right now, let's watch the battle between Captain and Black Tiger. Watching this kind of battle will be of great help to you. At the very least, it'll be good for you to learn how to fight."
Kabids stood beside Jianchen, looking at Jianchen with astonishment. His gaze swept over Jianchen from head to toe several times. His eyes flickered with a trace of bewilderment, but he didn't say anything. He calmly stood there, not saying a word.
Hearing Jianchen's words, Xiao Dao and Yun Xuan really didn't speak again, attentively watching the battle.
