Chapter 282 – A Little More Preparation

"Why do you let him run?" Kairu protested, six Grand Royal Knights were not enough to calm his fighting.

Tang Shaoyang scanned the lion beastmen from the top to bottom. Fighting against the six Grand Royal Knight was not as easy as it looked. He could see the lion beastmen suffered many cuts from swords, there was a cut crossed his belly, not quite deep but not shallow either.

He smirked at the Flaming Lion, "You can't take the winner's prey," after that, he walked around to collect the bodies. He was telling the lion that he was the loser, there was no way the prideful Kairu accepted that easily.

"What did you say? We don't know the winner until we fight! Fight me and let's decide who is the loser!" Kairu yelled and challenged Tang Shaoyang, but the beastmen was ignored.

Meanwhile, Wen was following Tang Shaoyang. He was curious about something, where did the bodies disappear? And what was he doing with the bodies?

"What do you do to the bodies?" The Jade Eagle could not hold his curiosity and asked the man. He was truly curious about the use of the dead bodies.

Tang Shaoyang glanced at the Jade Eagle, "I don't think we are that close for me to tell you about my secret."

The Jade Eagle nodded his head and spoke no more. They were indeed not that close to share their secret.

"What about that old man, why didn't you kill him? He looked quite strong for an old human," Kairu joined the conversation, fighting was what was on his mind.

"Just not the right timing," he answered their short questions as he gathered all the dead bodies. He was telling the truth when he replied this was not the right timing. This was not the right timing because his second class was at the maximum level. Killing the old man did not benefit him that much.

After collecting all the bodies, he turned toward the direction where his subordinates were. The three men were looking at him blankly, the scale of his battle was not something they could imagine.

"What was I seeing?" Fan Rui muttered blankly. Starting from the [Thunder Storm] to [Grand Skyfall], it was something they never imagined.

"Boss is the real main character, only the main character could survive from an absurd thing like that…" Gu Yingjie muttered in return. The absurd thing in his mouth was the [Sky Grandfall].

"That's why he is our Boss and we are his subordinates," Cao Yuntai had accepted the absurdity. Nothing was impossible even the world had turned into a game. Even now they were in another world.

"Boss!" The three greeted Tang Shaoyang respectfully while lowering their backs to show their respect.

Tang Shaoyang nodded in return and glanced back at the Jade Eagle, "So, where are your people bringing my people to?"

"Don't worry about that, the villagers should be safe within my tribe's territory and my people. Follow me, I will lead you to meet them!" The eagle beastmen was about to fly but stopped and glanced at Tang, "But as promised, you have to meet our King after you meet with your people!"

"Sure, you can keep my words," Tang Shaoyang then pointed his three men with his thumb, "You should lower your speed, they may not catch up to your maximum speed."

"Alright," the Jade Eagle nodded and flapped his wings. He did not fly that high, only ten meters above the ground, remaining in everyone's sight.

It was an uneventful journey but also annoying for Tang Shaoyang at the same time. The Flaming Lion was pestering him to fight with him on the way. He just straight ignored the lion beastmen.

The Jade Eagle's territory was quite from where they were. It took them twenty minutes by walking, and soon Tang Shaoyang got to meet his girls and Old Man Rick.

Delia immediately jumped at him while Selena, Elin, and Arina surrounded him. The three were more reserved, but worried was very clear on their faces.

"So how is it?" Old Man Rick asked while his eyes were moving around. He was not just asking about the attack but also about the beastmen. Being surrounded by the Jade Eagle was not something comforting. In fact, Rick was at the edge all the time even though he knew they were protecting him and his villagers.

"I have killed all the knights and adventurers, we should be fine for the time being," Tang Shaoyang tapped the old man's shoulder, "We will be staying with the Jade Eagle for now. At least until I meet with their King."

"The beastmen king?" Old Man Rick blurted in shock. The Beastmen King was a legendary myth, but people thought it was just an unreal legend. He never thought the legend was real.

"Yep, it depends whether we will stay longer or leave after I meet their King, so stay here a little longer okay," he was saying this not only to the old man but also his women and his subordinates.

He could see his women were worried for him from their expression, but he opened his arm and hugged them, "It's okay, nothing will happen to me."

It took him a while to comfort everyone. After five minutes of less dramatic reunion, Tang Shaoyang left with Kairu and Wen.

"We haven't introduced our names yet," Wen started the conversation with an introduction. Tang Shaoyang was about to blurt that he already knew, but he refrained himself. He did not want them to know about his [Basic Detection] skill, of course.

"My name is Wen of Jade Tribe, the top four tribes of the Orin Forest. And he is–" before the eagle beastmen could finish his words, Kairu waved his hand and cut in, "I can do it myself," the Flaming Lion then turned toward Tang Shaoyang, "My name is Kairu, the head tribe of the Crimson Tribe, the strongest tribe in the Orin Forest!"

Kairu was so proud when he mentioned his tribe was the strongest, but the Jade Eagle chimed in immediately, "Don't forget the part that the Crimson Tribe is the most hated tribe in the Orin Forest."

The Lion Beastmen shrugged lightly, "The weak always hate the strong,"

"They hate your tribe because your tribe is too overbearing, not because your tribe is the strongest," The Jade Eagle refuted immediately right after.

Amidst their banter, Tang Shaoyang cut in, "Before I meet your King, can I get a private place alone? For like fifteen minutes."

Wen and Kairu stopped their steps and glanced at him suspiciously, "Don't be that suspicious of me, my people are still with your people. I am not trying to escape, but I need to do something quick for fifteen minutes. A dead-end cave will do."

Wen and Kairu exchanged glances, they could not refute Tang Shaoyang's words. Indeed, why would he escape when he was here already, their core area. In the end, Wen agreed to the request. The two led him to a cave and left him there.

—Why don't you meet the King directly? I am curious about this King, is it possible their King a Dragon?

Zowen spoke up when Tang Shaoyang entered the dark cave.

"We don't know yet whether they are our allies or enemy, a little more preparation will not hurt me. I need to go through the 2nd Advancement for my second class!"
