Surprise flashed through Jianchen's eyes when he saw this. He was at a loss as he murmured, "Strange, where is this? Where's the Golden Tiger King? Have I been saved by someone? "
Just like that, Jian Chen lay on the ground. He only turned his head slightly and looked around. He calmed down very quickly. However, he thought about how the people of the Flame Mercenaries had used their lives to keep the Golden Tiger King busy in order to cover his escape.
Jianchen felt sorrow when he thought of that. Although he had only known the Flame Mercenaries for less than a month, Jianchen had gotten along well with them during that time. He had already established a friendship with them. Although it was not very deep, the fact that the Flame Mercenaries were willing to give up their lives to stop the Golden Tiger King at the last moment to buy him time to escape was mostly because they all knew that it was impossible for them to escape from a Class 5 Magical Beast. However, this still dealt a huge blow to Jianchen's heart.
"Uncle Kendall, Dier, Chang Ningfeng, Hu Po, Zhou Dakai, Zhou Xiaokai, Xiao Dao, Yu Xuan, don't worry. Once I have enough strength in the future, I will definitely avenge you. I will kill the Golden Tiger King with my own hands," Jianchen said resentfully as he laid on the ground. His voice was filled with killing intent.
A while later, Jianchen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He studied his surroundings again. Jianchen was extremely puzzled as to how he had escaped from the Golden Tiger King. At the same time, the environment here was very different from before he had fainted.
"Where is this place? Who saved me?" Jianchen was filled with questions as he looked around in confusion.
"Whatever, now's not the time to think about that. My priority is to heal my wounds." With that in mind, Jianchen cast aside his thoughts and began to control the Radiant Saint Force in the surroundings to heal himself.
The wondrous energy in the surroundings rapidly gathered towards Jianchen. When it reached a certain point, it gradually turned into a milky-white light, enveloping Jianchen.
As the Radiant Saint Force constantly flowed into Jianchen's body, Jianchen's wounds healed at a visible rate.
Four hours later, Jianchen's soul was exhausted, so he needed to stop. After four hours of healing, Jianchen's wounds had not completely healed, but they no longer affected his basic mobility.
Slowly dispersing the Radiant Saint Force, Jianchen slowly climbed up from the ground. He took off his tattered clothes and changed into a new set of clothes from his Space Belt. At this moment, Jianchen suddenly discovered that there was a thick layer of plant powder on the ground.
Slowly bending down, Jianchen gently grabbed a handful of the powder on the ground. It was cold to the touch and slightly moist. At the same time, there was a special smell that only plants could have.
Gently rubbing the powder in his right hand, a sliver of surprise gradually appeared in Jianchen's eyes. He cried out softly, "This is actually plant powder." With that, Jianchen suddenly raised his head and looked around. He saw that there was a thick layer of plant powder on the ground within a hundred meters of him. Beyond that, there were trees and weeds everywhere.
Seeing this, Jianchen trembled slightly. A thought that even he dared not believe suddenly appeared in his head.
"Don't tell me that all the plants within a hundred meters of him have turned into this pile of powder?"
Thinking of this, Jianchen could not help but reveal a sliver of shock. Although he did not know what had happened before he fainted, he understood very well just how difficult it was to turn all the plants within a hundred meters of him into powder without harming the road and the surrounding environment. Just controlling such a powerful force was not an easy task.
"Just what happened here?" Jianchen's head was filled with doubts. At the same time, he felt extremely curious. Afterwards, Jianchen did not stay there any longer. Using the sun in the sky as a compass, he determined the direction and wanted to leave. As for this strange place and what had happened when he fainted last night, Jianchen did not want to waste his time thinking about it. In short, he was extremely lucky to be able to survive.
Because Jianchen had yet to fully recover from his injuries, he was extremely careful along the way. He did not want to attract any more unnecessary trouble from magical beasts, so he did not advance very quickly.
Jianchen travelled for two days before finally exiting the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. He arrived at a forest on the outskirts. Jianchen's injuries had also completely healed in these two days.
Jianchen leisurely walked through the dense forest, but his heart was heavy. When they had first arrived, they had a total of ten people, but now, he was the only one left. Apart from him, everyone else of the Flame Mercenaries had been eternally buried in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Not even their corpses were left behind.
Just at this moment, a group of people dressed as mercenaries walked towards Jianchen. Looking at the direction they were heading, it was obvious that they had entered the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. The group had a total of seven people. Aside from a young man who seemed to be in his twenties, the other six were middle-aged men around the age of forty. It was obvious with a single glance that the young man was being protected by the six middle-aged men.
The seven people dressed as mercenaries had clearly noticed Jianchen as well, but they did not take him to heart.
Just as the seven mercenaries were about to pass by Jianchen, a voice filled with arrogance suddenly rang out, "Kid, stop right there." The person who had spoken was the young man who did not seem much older than Jianchen.
Jianchen did not seem to hear the voice behind him at all. He continued to walk with his head lowered and a heavy heart.
Seeing Jianchen actually ignore him, the young man's face could not help but change slightly. He stared coldly at Jianchen's back before yelling out again, "You brat in linen clothes, are you deaf? Did you not hear what I said?" The young man's tone was extremely arrogant, and his face was filled with arrogance.
Jianchen paused slightly and raised his head to look at the young man. He asked calmly, "Are you calling me 'mother'?"
"Nonsense, if this young master didn't call you, who else would I call? Is there anyone else here other than you?" The young man's tone was rude and unreasonable. He did not realise that he was speaking ill. Weren't he and the six middle-aged men beside him human?
The faces of the six middle-aged men twitched slightly when they heard the young man's ill words. They wanted to laugh, but they did not dare to do so.
Jianchen furrowed his brow and said in a low voice, "What do you want to say? Speak quickly." Having just experienced the tragedy of the Flame Mercenaries, Jianchen was currently in an extremely bad mood. Even the tone of his voice had changed quite a bit.
A trace of anger flashed across the young man's face. He also felt very angry that Jianchen had spoken to him so rudely.
"Kid, this young master is asking you, did you come from the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?" The young man's voice had already risen a few octaves. He looked at Jianchen with an extremely unfriendly gaze.
Hearing this, a cold light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He said in a low voice, "So what if I did?"
