(The Next Day)"Boss, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to set out this early," Fang Yuan grumbled, stuffing some piece of roasted meat into his mouth."You can rearrange your tent and go back to sleep," Elijah rolled his eyes at the fatty then stood up to get a bottle of water."Finish up, we need to leave, there'll be a lot of people coming here soon," Elijah urged, passing a bottle of water to Fang Yuan.It was barely dawn, but the two were already up. After skinning the boar the day before, Elijah felt tired, so he decided to stay at the edge of the wilderness and camp there for the night.After roasting the meat, they ate some and preserved the rest, then set up their tents and went to sleep.Since there was a low possibility of danger, Elijah let the wolf guard their tents.It was already morning, so Elijah woke up the fatty to prepare to go deep into the wilderness to begin their training. They had to leave early as he didn't want to be seen by others.Others came to the wildern

Fang Yuan swallowed but still he followed Elijah and walked towards the swamp. This was called intentionally courting death. He just couldn't understand how they were going to fight a nest of Stormscale crocodiles in their natural habitat."So what are we going to do boss?" Fang Yuan walked over, the playful expression on his face disappeared slowly, replaced by a serious one."The swamp is big, my lightning spell can't immobilize them all at once," Elijah answered, the frown on his face depended."Except if I would be able to cast the second level of the spell, which is impossible," Elijah continued, shaking his head as he observed the Stormscale crocodiles."Okay, here's what would happen," Elijah turned to Fang Yuan after a while."Since we are not aiming to kill the beasts, our aim is just to pass through, so we'll have to hurry and pass,""I'll cast the lightning spell right now and immobilize the ones right before us, then after walking a few meters, you'll guard my rear while I

"I would like to propose something bold, I don't know if you'll agree," Alex smiled lightly, ignoring Elijah's strange expression."And what's the proposal," Elijah scrutinized Alex. Though he didn't trust the latter a bit, there was no need to show it all over his face.They didn't have any disagreement, so it was just better to go with the flow. If Alex tried to harm him, he would have no choice but to retaliate."Well, you're quite skilled, so I would like you to join hands with us," Alex proposed, still staring at Elijah.It could be seen that he didn't care about the fatty since he said 'you'. If he had put the fatty in his eyes, he would have said, 'Both'.Chris's and the rest's expressions changed upon hearing Alex's words, and they couldn't help but frown."You don't have to worry guys. He's quite capable; besides, the more, the better. After all, we don't know where we would go and meet there," Alex turned to his team and explained, feeling their gazes."And why should I joi
