As a newcomer, Lin Jin was naturally curious about the giant spirit and bear. Hence, he concealed his aura and followed behind them. Due to their massive size, Lin Jin wouldn't lose sight of them even if he was a little further away. Hence, Lin Jin kept his distance so that he wouldn't be discovered.
Along the way, Lin Jin could tell that the giant spirit was very familiar with his surroundings. Lin Jin had long lost his sense of direction.
"That's weird. Why do I feel like someone's following us?"
The giant spirit's left gate stabbed his flag-like spear into the soft soil before sitting down to rest. Behind him, the giant bear sat down with a charmingly naive look.
After the giant bear sat down, it looked like a small hill.
The giant bear was obviously not interested in the Giant Spirit's words. After it sat down, it looked around and scratched the big tree next to it with its claws. Its sharp claws scraped off the bark, revealing the trunk inside. A few thick worms inside the trunk panicked. It was as if someone had suddenly opened the roof of their house. Anyone would panic if they were in their shoes.
Before the fat bugs could escape, the giant bear caught them and stuffed them into its mouth. The giant bear chewed on them with relish.
Each bug was as thick as a human's thigh. They weren't small, but to the giant bear, they were nothing more than snacks.
"Eat, eat. You silly bear, you only know how to eat. Other than your size, you're nothing," the giant spirit said. Although his words were harsh, there was a hint of affection in his tone.
The giant bear didn't seem to care. It continued foraging for food, as if saying, 'You talk, I'll eat.'
Right at this moment, a stream of light flashed past, heading straight for the left side of the Giant Spirit Beast. The originally charmingly naive giant bear suddenly acted out of character at this time. It swept its claws, and a series of claw winds tore through the air, making crackling sounds like thunder exploding in the ears.
With that, the ray of light was blocked.
With a flash, the ray of light transformed into a human figure. He laughed and said, "Left gate, your silly bear doesn't look very smart usually, but it's amazing when it comes to critical moments. Even with my new supernatural power, I don't dare to fight it head-on."
The person who spoke was dressed like a vagrant. He was slovenly and his clothes were patched up. However, his aura was rich and mellow as immortal energy flowed around him.
Even someone with poor eyesight could tell that this was an immortal.
In addition, there was a sword hanging on this person's back.
The body of the sword was overflowing with light and vibrant colors. It had no scabbard and looked as if it had been polished from a piece of yellow crystal. Its texture was extremely unique.
When the silly bear saw that it knew this person, it immediately sat down and returned to its original naive appearance. It was as if the ferocious Violent Bear was a completely different bear from it.
"Loose Cultivator Yellowstone, you're a good person, but you like to joke around. If Silly Bear can't hold back and injures you next time, I won't care," Left Gate of Giant Spirit said.
Loose Cultivator Yellowstone laughed and didn't care at all. Then, his nose twitched as he looked left and right. Then, he said, "Left Gate, you brought someone else?"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to where Lin Jin was hiding a thousand feet away.
Now, Lin Jin knew he had been exposed.
After all, he was tailing an immortal so Lin Jin didn't expect to remain undetected. His plan was to avoid making enemies as much as possible and instead, he wanted to make more friends and learn more about this foreign land.
In the next instant, the yellow crystal longsword on Loose Cultivator Yellowstone's back glowed and he was already in front of Lin Jin.
Lin Jin had witnessed Loose Cultivator Yellowstone's supernatural powers earlier so he wasn't surprised by the man's teleportation spell. Lin Jin tidied his clothes and raised a hand in salute.
The ground shook as Giant Spirit's left gate and the silly bear rushed over.
Left Gate of Giant Spirit stared at Lin Jin before scratching his head. "I knew it. It felt like someone was following us. Who are you?"
"Lin Jin of Central Continent!" Lin Jin was a polite man. Whenever he introduced himself, he would always mention a place. Lin Jin was used to calling it his hometown.
Sure enough, both Giant Spirit's left gate and Loose Cultivator Yellowstone were stunned.
"What is this Central Continent?" Left Gate asked immediately. Yellowstone shook his head. "It's an unknown place but that's not the point. Why did you follow Left Gate all the way here?"
Seeing that these two immortals were easy to talk to, Lin Jin didn't hide anything and answered, "Lin Jin has just arrived and it's his first time encountering a giant spirit. I was curious so I followed you all the way here. I have no ulterior motives and I bear no ill will."
Usually, most people wouldn't pursue the matter after hearing this. Of course, that didn't rule out the possibility of a conflict breaking out.
Still, since Lin Jin dared to follow them, he was confident that even if he couldn't win, he could still escape.
Yellowstone glanced at Giant Spirit's left gate and the latter nodded. "That's true. If he had ulterior motives or carried a murderous aura, I would've sensed it long ago. Same goes for Han Xiong. But while our tribe is rare, it's not uncommon. Could it be that you've been cultivating in seclusion and this is your first time coming out?"
Yellowstone nodded. "That should be the case. He looks like one too."
As the two echoed each other, Lin Jin smiled bitterly. But it didn't matter. Letting them think what they thought would save him a lot of trouble. Lin Jin was also sure that neither this giant spirit nor Yellowstone knew about Central Continent. Otherwise, they would've sensed it earlier.
What followed was a conversation.
Lin Jin was polite. Both Left Gate and Yellowstone were immortals. Be it in age or cultivation, they were above him. As a junior, it was only right for him to show them respect.
On the other hand, Zuo Men and Huang Shi assumed Lin Jin to be a disciple of some immortal sect. Disciples of immortal sects were usually arrogant and rarely treated Itinerant Immortals with politeness. Because of this, both of them had a good impression of Lin Jin and after a while, their relationship gradually improved.
"Fellow Lin, since you're here to gain experience, you should be free and do whatever you want. It just so happens that Zuo Men and I are going to the legendary Spirit Pool of the Immortal Queen to take a look. Why don't we go together?" Huang Shi Loose Practitioner casually invited.
Left Gate nodded in agreement. "If there's nothing else, we can take care of each other. After all, it's dangerous to train alone."
Lin Jin couldn't be happier.
If the two hadn't asked, he would've thought of a way to follow them. But now that they were inviting him, how could he refuse?
And so, they hit it off.
They were now familiar with each other. Giant Spirit's left gate. Despite his name, he didn't have a surname.
It was normal for the Giant Spirit Tribe to have no surnames.
Left Gate was considered an anomaly among the Giant Spirits. Since ancient times, the Giant Spirit Tribe had been following immortals and was considered their right-hand man. But Left Gate didn't like it.
He preferred to be alone and he liked to tame beasts.
He had raised Han Xiong since he was young.
