As the three of them spoke, they did not slow down in the slightest. When they were five and a half li away from the city, the two bodyguards unleashed a technique and beast qi floated out from their bodies. Next, the beast qi condensed into a gigantic elephant, which then carried the three of them at a speed twice as fast as before.
After another ten miles, they came across a fight in the forest ahead. It was quite a commotion.
"King Yan, the monster slave is in trouble," one of the Grassy Continent guards said.
The giant elephant was running extremely fast. In fact, Lin Jin had been sitting on the elephant's tail since earlier. With this, he didn't have to waste his spirit energy to travel on clouds.
With the help of Cloud Mist and Camouflage, as long as he didn't move recklessly, the other party wouldn't notice him.
Lin Jin could see the situation over there. It was Zuo Wentang fighting against the monster he was fighting.
The two girls were fine. Tilly was even helping Zuo Wentang fight the monster.
This western lady was quite capable. She had a Rank 3 pet beast and had cultivated the Beastmaster Scroll, so she could be considered an expert.
It was also because of this western lady's help that Zuo Wentang didn't lose.
The main problem was that the monster they were fighting was too powerful.
It was a Rank 3 monster that had cultivated the Transfiguration skill. However, to Lin Jin, it was only average. When it was fighting, it could no longer maintain the Transfiguration skill. Now, it was in its beast form.
The head of a long-tailed leopard. This was a leopard demon.
The Grassy Continent's spotted leopard.
Although this leopard demon couldn't maintain its human form, it wasn't completely in beast form either. It was considered half human, half beast. Standing over ten feet tall, it relied on its sharp claws and iron whip-like tail.
Zuo Wentang was attacking with all his might. He had clearly cultivated the Beastmaster Scroll as the shadow of a raging bear rose from his body. With this, Zuo Wentang's every move was powerful.
Lin Jin knew that Zuo Wentang's pet beast was Rank 3 and his blood contract realm had reached the fifth realm. He was indeed an expert in Maple City.
However, things were different when it came to the Grassy Continent monster.
Everyone knew that demonic beasts were difficult to tame, so demonic beasts were treated as public enemies. On the surface, the law stated that if a demonic beast was discovered, it had to be exterminated to prevent future troubles. As for associating with demonic beasts, that was an even greater crime.
But in reality, rules were rules. There would always be loopholes in the rules set by people.
Take Lin Jin for example. Which of Bai Zhenkong and Zuo Wentang didn't know he had a monster by his side? Even the emperor of Royal City was well aware of this.
But because of fear, because of appeasement and roping in, they turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.
However, Lin Jin assumed that monsters originated from the Central Continent. To think that they existed on the Grassy Continent as well. Not to mention, they could even become servants of royalty.
Obviously, the other party definitely had a way to control the demonic beasts.
Lin Jin was very interested in this.
On the other side, Zuo Wentang and the Western Region woman, Tilly, were working together to attack the leopard demon. Even so, they could only fight to a draw. The demon was clearly stronger than other beasts of the same level.
The other woman, Qu Wenji, was an ordinary woman. She could only hide in the distance and look at Zuo Wentang with concern.
Alright, this pair is confirmed.
However, Lin Jin didn't expect Zuo Wentang to give it his all for a woman like this.
Indeed, Zuo Wentang was putting his life on the line.
After all, demonic beasts were no joke. If it wasn't for the Western Region woman, Tilly, who could still be of use, he would have been defeated long ago.
Zuo Wentang and Tilly were in a stalemate when they noticed the giant elephant approaching. When they saw it clearly, their expressions darkened.
"This is bad."
Zuo Wentang was also an expert. He knew that it was impossible to win against the leopard demon even if they were in a stalemate. If the leopard demon sent reinforcements, they would surely lose.
Zuo Wentang made a prompt decision. He turned to the Western Region woman and said, "Miss Tilly, please bring Wenji back to Maple City and inform City Lord Bai. I'll try my best to stall for time here."
Although he said he was stalling for time, Zuo Wentang knew very well that he couldn't handle one leopard demon with his current abilities. Now that the leopard demon had three helpers, he was even less of a match.
If that happened, his life would be in danger.
However, Zuo Wentang didn't have time to think too much.
He had to give it his all.
The Western Region woman, Tilly, wasn't hesitant either. The fact that she could escape from Grassy Continent's Western Region proved that she wasn't an indecisive person. She immediately pushed Qu Wenji away and tried to pull her away.
But Qu Wenji refused to leave.
"Tilly, you can leave if you want. I'm not leaving."
Now that Qu Wenji wasn't leaving, Tilly couldn't just leave on her own.
Moreover, she was very clear that this group of people had originally come for her. If she just left like that, it would be really inexcusable.
Grassy Continent's Western Region was a place of loyalty.
"Oh no, someone's being a busybody. Those two beauties are trying to escape. Capture them! Don't even think about getting away!" King Cheng shouted when he saw the situation.
His two guards looked helpless. However, the leopard demon was already on par with the other party. Now that the two of them were here, even if they were injured, they should be able to take down the other party easily.
Hence, they prepared to charge forward.
But at that moment, a voice came from behind them. "You two, don't go. Take a break."
Upon hearing the voice, the two guards' hearts skipped a beat. Before they could react, they felt a sharp pain on their backs as if they were being pierced by needles. Then, they collapsed to the ground. What frightened them was that the Beastmaster Scroll they cultivated allowed them to fuse with their pet beasts. The war elephants they were riding on were their pet beasts.
The Grassy Continent's war elephants were terrifyingly powerful. It was extremely difficult for a single person to fuse with a war elephant. Since the two of them had cultivated the Beastmaster Third Scroll, they could fuse two war elephant souls into one. That was how the war elephants they were riding on came to be.
At this moment, they originally wanted to withdraw their beast power, but they couldn't do it at all.
Their bodies went limp, unable to move.
Lin Jin was obviously the one who did it. As he spoke, King Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He leaped up abruptly and the phantom of a king snake surged out from his body as he turned to look behind him.
He saw a person sitting behind the war elephant.
When did this person get here?
King Cheng was a ruthless and arrogant man. His fingers moved like a snake and he flicked his arm. At the same time, the phantom snake behind him came biting at Lin Jin.
This was the art of using beast energy.
If he was hit, Lin Jin wouldn't be able to take it. Moreover, the beast energy released by the other party was highly toxic and Lin Jin's body wasn't immune to poison.
Hence, before the Mastiff King could make his move, Lin Jin had already flicked out a silver needle. The needle pierced the Mastiff King's neck at lightning speed, piercing his numbing acupoint. The moment the Mastiff King made his move, he immediately collapsed, slipping off the war elephant and falling into the forest below.
Speaking of which, those who didn't understand Lin Jin's technique would be at a disadvantage when they were pierced by a silver needle.
Fortunately, Lin Jin didn't go for the kill. Otherwise, the needle wouldn't have pierced the acupoint but the brain instead. However, Lin Jin knew that since the other party cultivated the Beastmaster Scroll, the acupoint at the center of the brain was protected by beast energy. Even if Lin Jin wanted to pierce the needle, it would take some time.
Also, Lin Jin didn't want to cause any trouble. It was better to let the other party know when to retreat. When was the point of fighting and killing?
Of course, falling off the back of the giant elephant would probably cause him some pain. But Lin Jin couldn't care less.
