They couldn't be blamed. Anyone would've reacted the same way if they were in such a situation. That white ape was too terrifying. Killing these five beasts was no different from crushing five ants. Presumably, if the white ape wanted to kill them, it wouldn't take much effort.
It had only been a short while since they were confident of getting rid of the white ape, but their feelings were completely different now.
"Huang Yan!"
After a long time, Young Master Fan finally called out.
Huang Yan, who had been standing there blankly, seemed to have come back to his senses. However, his reaction was huge, and his whole body trembled.
"Huang Yan, what are you doing? Help me up!" Young Master Fan shouted from the ground.
His leg was broken and fractured, and he could not move at all. He was sweating profusely from the pain.
Beside him, Zhao Xi was also groaning in pain. However, he could still struggle to get up. After all, it was only a broken arm. Strictly speaking, it was not a serious injury.
The two of them helped Young Master Fan up and took a look at his leg. It was a terrible fall. Not only was it broken, but the broken bones had even pierced through his flesh. The bloody scene gave the two of them goosebumps, let alone Young Master Fan.
The latter did not see his condition at first, and only felt the pain. Now that he saw it, he immediately cried out in fear.
The injury was too serious.
Even if it could be cured, he would probably become a cripple. It was only a matter of time before he could walk with a limp.
At this time, the two hunters woke up as well. They were also in a daze and hurried forward to help. The few of them carried or carried Young Master Fan on their backs and finally escaped the forest.
When they reached the village, they contacted someone and got someone to send the news out. At the same time, they got the village doctor to help relieve the pain.
Young Master Fan's injury was the most serious this time. He had fainted several times along the way.
The entire Gua Mountain was under the jurisdiction of Fan City. Since the son of Fan City's city lord was in trouble, someone would naturally take it seriously. In less than half a day, the people from the city lord's office arrived.
No one expected City Lord Fan to come in person.
This was normal. After all, this protective City Lord only had this one precious son.
City Lord Fan was in his sixties, but he looked much younger. At this moment, he looked furious and murderous.
The injury on his son's leg was too serious. Just now, the doctor from the City Lord's Mansion had treated it. Although it could be reconnected, he would still be disabled.
If he had used some secret blood contract method to extract essence energy from a pet beast, he would have been able to recover. But the problem was, his son's pet beast was also dead.
This was a huge blow to the owner of the Blood Contract. The owner of the Blood Contract was already lacking in Qi, blood, and essence, so there was nothing he could do.
Who would be happy when encountering such a thing?
City Lord Fan's face darkened. At this moment, in front of him were Zhao Xi, Huang Yan, and the two hunters.
"Tell me, who did this to my son?" City Lord Fan's tone was unfriendly. Zhao Xi was a smooth talker and quickly explained the situation.
Of course, there were still some discrepancies in what they said.
For example, they did not provoke the white ape, but the white ape attacked them first.
This was also a useful trick of theirs, which was that all the fault was on others, and they themselves were not at fault.
"Uncle Fan, that white ape was too ferocious. You didn't see it for yourself. We tried our best but in the end, we couldn't do anything about it. Our pet beasts were killed and we were more or less injured."
As he spoke, Zhao Xi glanced at his arm.
His injury wasn't serious. Compared to Young Master Fan's, it was much worse. But to show his pitiful appearance, Zhao Xi had his men wrap him up in layers.
Seeing Zhao Xi in such a miserable state, City Lord Fan's expression softened.
"That white ape was so ferocious. How did you escape?" City Lord Fan was no fool. As the lord of a city, how could he not tell that something was amiss?
If what Zhao Xi said was true, that the white ape was a bloodthirsty and ferocious creature that had slaughtered all their pet beasts, how could they have escaped?
This was impossible, and it did not make sense.
At this, Zhao Xi's chubby face started sweating.
"This …"
He couldn't answer.
City Lord Fan sighed and waved his hand. "No matter who hurt my son, I won't let it go. Zhao Xi, tell me the truth."
Zhao Xi didn't dare to spout nonsense this time. He honestly recounted the situation at that time in full detail.
This time, the authenticity was acceptable because City Lord Fan had asked Huang Yan and the two Hunters. It could be said that there was no problem with the authenticity.
"A beast that can speak … Isn't that a monster?" City Lord Fan's expression darkened. His son's pet beast was Rank 3, which wasn't low at all. After all, even he himself was only a Rank 3 pet beast.
He didn't have to be afraid of regular monsters.
Unless he encountered a demonic beast that was at least rank three, or even rank four.
If that was the case, even as a city lord, he couldn't afford to provoke it. At least, he couldn't do it with his own strength.
Moreover, according to the hunters and Zhao Xi's description, other than the white ape, there was also a terrifying coffin and a person.
After that person appeared, he called the white ape away.
If he wasn't mistaken, that person was Lord White Ape.
Hence, City Lord Fan began asking questions about that person. After Zhao Xi, Huang Yan, and the others' descriptions, as well as his son's explanation, City Lord Fan was able to grasp several important details.
The other party was a young man whom the white ape addressed as' Master Lin '.
In other words, his surname was Lin.
Other than that, he also had a Rank 2 beast appraiser's tattoo show, which meant that he was a Rank 2 beast appraiser.
A young Rank 2 beast appraiser with the surname Lin was a much smaller target. At the very least, he didn't have such a person in Fan City's territory.
Fan City's territory was right next to the royal city's territory and on the other side was Maple City's territory. Could it be the royal city or a beast appraiser from Maple City?
City Lord Fan immediately sent someone to investigate.
He also had to plan before taking action. Of course, this matter was just as he had said, he would absolutely not leave the matter at that. No matter who the other party was, he would go and seek justice.
Lin Jin was oblivious to all this. By now, he had entered Maple City's territory.
Moreover, his speed was much faster than before, so it only took him half a day to see the city walls of Maple City.
"I'm back."
Lin Jin smiled.
It had been quite some time since he left this place and he had experienced a lot of things. His skills and cultivation, in particular, were worlds apart from when he left. Of course, the biggest change was in his state of mind.
With his increased strength, Lin Jin was no longer as cautious as before, afraid that others would find out about him. Now, he wasn't afraid of anyone finding out. After all, even Jade Dragon Kingdom's emperor couldn't do anything to him.
'I wonder if Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun have been working hard and if Shang'er and the others are still used to it, 'Lin Jin mused.
He turned to look at the white ape. The latter was carrying the coffin so he couldn't transform into his smaller size. But that didn't matter. Lin Jin could use Camouflage to hide the white ape and the coffin.
