"Ah, kid, didn't you say you didn't need it? Why did you collect its corpse then?!" Following behind Benjamin, the saintess's voice continued to ring out. But at this moment, Benjamin acted as though he heard nothing, accelerating his pace. Alan flew beside him, its eyes extremely cautious, watching the soul-filled female city warily."Chuckle, you truly have many hidden treasures on you. Had this been a few months ago, perhaps I would have taken them from you. But now, it's unnecessary. If you can help me restore my body, maybe I will follow you! Hee hee!"Benjamin paid no mind to her words. At this time, he wanted to reach Young Dragon's location as quickly as possible.Although he had fled separately from it, the soul mark he left on it enabled him to find Young Dragon's location without wasting much time.However, as he neared Young Dragon's location, Benjamin's face turned to one of astonishment. For Young Dragon was hiding on a tree branch, under which was a cave concealed by vi
"Take another slash of mine!"Seeing the Cobra's gaping mouth approaching, Benjamin didn't hesitate, wielding his blade with a fervor that aimed directly into the creature's maw.A powerful impact ensued. The Giant Cobra was sent sprawling back several meters into the pond. Meanwhile, Benjamin was catapulted to the shore, landing a few meters away from his initial position.But before he could fully gather himself, a white shadow suddenly bolted from a nearby cave. It made a beeline for the White Lotus, intent on snatching it from right under Benjamin and the Cobra's noses.This unforeseen development caught Benjamin off guard. He hadn't expected the Fiery Fox, who had previously fled, to make such a bold return attempt for the Lotus.His heart aflame with indignation, Benjamin roared: "You vile creature! Halt!"Yet the Fiery Fox was a mere blur, darting toward the water. With shrill chitters emanating from its throat, the waters rumbled and every single lotus flower was drawn out, ho
In the myriad times he had been wronged at its paws, Benjamin had struggled fiercely to contain his wrath, yearning to capture and give the creature a taste of its own medicine. Yet, the speed of this Fiery Fox was truly unparalleled. Furthermore, the spatial realm that Benjamin had recently unveiled seemed to be utterly ineffective against it.As he watched the Fiery Fox gallop further away, nearing the cave's entrance, a shadow of despair descended upon Benjamin's heart."Could it be that I'll just let it escape thus?" he mused.Contemplating for a moment, Benjamin found himself powerless to pursue. However, before he could even muster an action, the entire cave was suddenly enveloped in ominous darkness. Swiftly from above, a magnificent blaze streaked down, headed straight for the Fiery Fox.Boom!A wave of intense heat radiated through the air. Even Benjamin could sense the rising temperature enveloping the surroundings.Caught off-guard, the Fiery Fox was directly hit by the fla
Having spoken his piece, Benjamin's attention drifted to the skies, still quite distant from the looming tower ahead.Thus, he signaled to Young Dragon and Young Naive: "Let’s move quickly to the tower. Home beckons!”For some inexplicable reason, Benjamin felt an unsettling emotion. He yearned to return to the cave and retrieve the spirit water from White Lotus or seek any remaining spirit fruits, but he decided to head swiftly towards the tower.Suddenly, the sky darkened and a torrential downpour enveloped him, catching him off guard. The rain was peculiar, evaporating instantly upon contact, producing a sizzling sound.As he watched his protective aura corroded by the relentless rain, dread consumed Benjamin. He sought shelter in a tree hollow.“Chirp... Chirp!”Young Naive and the two Fiery Foxes huddled together, seemingly apprehensive about the storm. The rain seemed to afflict them too, dampening Benjamin’s spirits even further.Luckily, the rain didn’t last. In a little over
While the Young Dragon's strength had evolved to an early stage of level five, equivalent to a grandmaster martial artist, this Mighty Bear was also a level five mythical beast. Moreover, its strength had peaked at level five, no less menacing than the White Tiger Benjamin had previously encountered.Thus, after receiving a blow from the bear, the Young Dragon was sent flying, crashing heavily into an ancient tree, causing leaves and branches to tremble violently."Damn it, how did this monster appear here?!"Seeing the Young Dragon being struck, panic surged in Benjamin's heart. However, he couldn't afford to be distracted, for his own opponent was formidable as well.Whoosh!Suddenly, an icy wind swept past, making Benjamin's entire being freeze in place. Following it was a gust of fetid air that approached rapidly from behind, its putridness almost making Benjamin recoil in disgust.Crash!The Wolf King, with astonishing swiftness, lunged, pinning Benjamin down with its massive cla
Meanwhile, the sinister mist, after penetrating his core, hurtled towards Benjamin's brain. Upon reaching its vicinity, its pace slackened. From the mist emerged creatures of the most peculiar form. Their size, much smaller than a strand of hair, rendered them nearly invisible to the naked eye.Yet, upon seeing Benjamin's brain, these entities, seemingly having found a delectable feast, became exceedingly agitated and hastened towards it.Boom!However, just as they made contact with Benjamin's brain, a powerful wave of spiritual energy shielded it, casting out more than half of the invaders.But the remaining entities appeared undeterred, rather they became even more frenzied, hurtling towards the protective barrier around Benjamin's brain.Suddenly, two beams of light manifested, revealing two figures within them. One was Benjamin, and the other was none other than the soul of the Holy Maiden.These manifestations were but the concentration of their spiritual energies. Benjamin had
Whether or not they comprehended his words was uncertain, but they persisted, pulling him towards some undisclosed location. After a moment's hesitation, with Young Naive in his arms and leaving Alan to guard Young Dragon, he followed the two creatures as they led him swiftly into the dense forest.Guided by the two small beings, it wasn’t long before Benjamin emerged from the woods to confront a towering cliffside. He couldn’t fathom why they had brought him here, but upon noticing several luminescent spots high on the cliff, astonishment lit his eyes.The smallest of the Fiery Foxes suddenly leaped up the cliff, pivoting to face Benjamin with a loud chirp.“Chirp... Chirp!”From its gesture, Benjamin quickly deduced that it beckoned him to follow.After a moment’s contemplation and sensing no imminent danger, he cautiously ascended the cliff with Young Naive cradled in his arms. Although the cliff was rather high, its gradient wasn't particularly steep. In just a few minutes, Benjam
"Roar!"Excitedly, Young Dragon gazed at Benjamin with deep reverence. It never imagined that just one herb from its master could have such miraculous effects.But as it attempted to draw closer for an affectionate gesture, Benjamin hastily stopped it."Stay back; I need to tend to my wounds."Benjamin had sustained various injuries, but in his quest to save Young Naive, he had prioritized seeking the healing herb.Now, with Young Naive awakened and Young Dragon's injuries mostly healed, Benjamin intended to consume a stalk of Luminous Grass himself.However, halfway through the action, he hesitated. His injuries, compared to Young Dragon and Young Naive, were relatively minor. To use such a potent healing herb for himself felt somewhat wasteful.After some thought, he returned the herb to his storage ring. Instead, he plucked a single leaf from it, chewing it gently.Immediately, a surge of pure energy flowed through him, rejuvenating his body, healing his wounds, and replenishing hi
