Chapter 1001: Approach
“Why do I still feel that the appearance of the Mermaid siblings is so strange?”
“Whether it’s strange or not, we’ll know once we go and see. Don’t be anxious. I’ve said that the more anxious you are, the easier it will be for you to be distracted.”
“They’ve never left me and gone to such a dangerous place. How can I not be anxious?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was truly worried. Mothers might be like this. Even though she clearly knew that there was no danger factor, she was still worried. Raising a child, 99 percent was worry. Yan Kuan was after all a man… He would not care about this mother’s heart.
“Be careful. There are some problems ahead.”
This problem would probably be a permanent one, and nothing could be discussed. Just then, they discovered another group of magical beasts. There were three beasts in a row, two wild boars, and a fox.
When the little monkey saw the danger, it quickly hid in the trees. It was most afraid of encountering these magical beasts. It could not help it because it was too small. Furthermore, it was born a Level 1 crystal magical beast. Its parents were both Level 4, but they were both dead… It was picked up and raised by the white ape. That was why their species was different.
But the white ape was really good to it. That was why the little monkey went to beg for leniency.
“Why is this little monkey so timid? No wonder the white ape insisted on letting it accompany us for a trip. It’s probably to train it.”
“Yes. And if it sets off with us, at least it will be safe.”
“I want to eat wild boar meat tonight.”
“Sure, no problem. I’ll roast wild boar meat for you to eat.”
Two people versus three beasts. This was not common in the World of Magical Beasts. While they were busy fighting, on the other side, Da Bao and Little Treasure were also fighting with weasels.
If there was one animal that Da Bao and Little Treasure hated the most, it was definitely weasels. There was nothing else.
This guy was too cunning, extremely sinister, and very ambitious.
This weasel was also a Level 3 weasel. This guy had grown up quite big, not much longer than an adult demonic beast wolf.
At the beginning, it was very friendly with them. Fortunately, the two children had almost suffered at the hands of the weasel before, so they were extra cautious. As expected, the weasel’s target was the snow mastiff. Although the snow mastiff had a green crystal in her body, she was too small. She had only been born for more than ten days. How powerful could she be?
Therefore, it was definitely the best time to snatch the Level 4 crystal in the snow mastiff’s body.
However, how could Da Bao and Little Treasure let it succeed? The final result was naturally the Mermaid brother and sister against the weasel.
The weasel tried to slip away several times, but it was blocked by the two of them. In the end, it was killed directly and the crystal was taken away. Only then did they let out the anger in their hearts.
However, the weasel’s stomach was cut open again, and the Mermaid siblings’ reputation of being good at disemboweling became more and more famous. For example, some friendly magical beasts would jokingly greet them when they saw them, “Hello, Ripper Mermaid siblings.”
They wanted to go to the Nine Serenities Ghost Pool. The deep pool that they were in was almost two levels higher than the Magical Beast Forest. One was south, one was north. One had beautiful scenery all year round, the other was a barren land with unpredictable climate changes that made people wish they could leave.
As they walked, they asked about everything about the Ghost Pond Qilin. The little hedgehog was very loyal. It followed the Mermaid brother and sister along the way, and was not afraid of encountering danger along the way. Generally speaking, magical beasts did not really like to deal with the little hedgehog.
On one hand, the level of the hedgehogs was basically within Level 2, and very few of them had reached Level 3. This was because first, a hedgehog was too small, and their thorns were very troublesome. Sometimes, even if you killed the hedgehog… it was very difficult to get the crystal due to the thorns all over their bodies.
Many magical beasts had to give up in the end. They did not have any tools. Other than their hands and mouths, they could only wait for the hedgehogs to rot. However, they could not wait forever… Many times, when they turned back to look for the crystals in the hedgehogs’ bodies, the crystals had already been picked up by other lucky magical beasts.
This was also the reason why everyone did not like killing hedgehogs. They were not even willing to fight the hedgehog. Even if the hedgehogs wanted to gain experience, they could not find any magical beasts. Naturally, their level was low.
However, the little hedgehog was afraid of the mermaid siblings. If it was really afraid, it was because the Mermaid siblings’ hands (actually, it was the knives in their hands) were too sharp. Look at the big black snake, look at the T-rex. They could be killed just like that.
Moreover, it had heard what they had said before. They had to flatten all of its thorns. It would not be so stupid to send itself to the enemy despite knowing the danger. It could only become friends with the Mermaid siblings and definitely not become enemies.
As expected, the Mermaid siblings were really generous. They had returned the crystal to it just like that. In the entire World of Magical Beasts, there was no other magical beast that had such boldness.
The key was that their strength was not bad. If they had the strength, they could do whatever they wanted in the World of Magical Beasts.
Therefore, this journey could be considered to be to gather information and also to find the way. Since it followed the Mermaid brother and sister, it might be able to gain some experience.
As expected, when it was dealing with the weasel, it went on stage at the critical moment. It finally went on stage. It was not the kind of thing that was played around, nor was it the kind of thing that people would run away when they saw it. Instead, it was used to deal with the weasel directly with its stinger.
The Stinger Weasel, a Level 3 magical beast, was screaming loudly. It was too satisfying.
But in the end, it was also afraid because the Ripper siblings really lived up to their reputation. Their hands were so scary. They could really cut open the weasel’s stomach and take away the crystal.
But later, it saw that their hands were no different. They only had a few extra fingers. It was really strange. How could they have such great power in a duel?
Da Bao and Little Treasure might not know, but in the eyes of the magical beasts, they could not see the two blades made of transparent crystals.
This was one of the differences between humans and magical beasts. Of course, this was not mentioned for the time being.
“Little hedgehog, have we walked half the way?”
“Not yet. The Magical Beast Forest is very big. We have only walked less than one-third of the way.”
“Ah? So slow? Then when will we arrive? My leg hurts.”
Da Bao was indeed delicate. Little Treasure glanced at her. This girl had only walked a few steps and she was already complaining about her leg pain. She was really useless.
“How far have we walked? You’re already complaining about leg pain? Seriously.”
Actually, they had already walked for three days. It was not that Da Bao was delicate when it came to complaining about her leg pain, but that she had really walked quite a lot. At this time, the little hedgehog, who was a nosy person, once again gave an idea:
“Mermaid brother and sister, you can ask a magical beast for help.”
“Help? Help with what?”
“Ask a magical beast of a lower level than you to give you a ride. For example, a tiger, a lion, or a wolf. As long as you don’t take their magic crystals, they should be happy to help you.”
“Ah? You can do that?”
Da Bao and Little Treasure looked at each other. They could actually ride a tiger?
“I want to ride a tiger. I want to ride a tiger.”
“Okay, then we’ll ride a tiger.”
