Noticing that Sun Yuchen and Su Yunpeng had fallen silent, Su Yunlie looked at Su Han once more and said with a smile, “It’s good that you used it all up. It’s proof of your speed in cultivation. However, I can only give you three years’ worth of your share with the authority that I have. If you want more, you are going to have to get them yourself.”
“Yes.” Su Han nodded.
“Hanny, it’s like this.”
Su Yunming said, “Your first uncle and I were discussing this. The Su Clan guards are preparing to make a trip to Fiend Beast Mountain Range. Why don’t you go along to hone your skills?”
“Alright,” said Su Han.
“No!”
Su Yunchen jumped up and objected, “Given his current strength, Su Han isn’t qualified enough to go with the guards to Fiend Beast Mountain Range. He’s only going to slow them down.”
“Are you afraid that Hanny is going to get a share of the guards’ loot?” Su Yunming said with a cold grin.
The Su Clan’s guards traveled to Fiend Beast Mountain Range once every month.
The spirit items that Su Han had used were obtained from one such trip.
The Su Clan had a rule: young disciples could follow the guards to Fiend Beast Mountain Range and also get a share of the loot.
Obviously, it was for this reason that Su Yunchen objected to Su Han going with the team. If Su Han got a bigger piece of the pie, his son and the others would naturally get less.
As for whether Su Han’s strength was sufficient?
Su Yunchen couldn’t care less. If it were up to him, he would have Su Han die in Fiend Beast Mountain Range.
“Su Han can go if he wants, but Mingxuan and Minghui should also follow along. They haven’t followed the guards to Fiend Beast Mountain Range and trained yet.” Su Yunpeng stood up.
“Are you sure they are strong enough?” Su Yunlie questioned.
“Of course.” Su Yunming snorted.
What a joke. With the Su Clan’s guards there, so what if they weren’t strong enough? The guards would naturally protect his son.
“Very well. Then Mingxuan and Minghui may also follow. It is decided,” Su Yunlie said.
…
The next morning, several dozen men gathered at the Su Estate’s gate. Su Han was among them.
Of course, Su Mingxuan and Su Minghui were also in the group.
The guard captain was a middle-aged man named Pang Qing. He was a Su Clan guest official, and had the strength of the late stage of the Dragon Blood Realm.
There were two vice captains, Zhang Hai and Hu Feng, also guest officials of the Su Clan. Their cultivations were at the middle stage of the Dragon Blood Realm.
As for the other guards, they were members of the Su Clan and had cultivation levels at the early stage of the Dragon Blood Realm.
The Dragon Blood Realm came after the Dragon Vein Realm.
The strength of the Dragon Blood Realm was dependent on the number of dragon veins opened during the Dragon Vein Realm.
The more dragon veins one opened, the denser the energy in the Dragon Blood Realm and the stronger the Dragon Qi.
“Since everybody’s here, let’s move out.”
Pang Qing rode a grade-two unicorn. The unicorn’s strength was equal to a Dragon Blood Realm human cultivator. Pang Qing had subjugated the unicorn with his own strength.
Among the fiend beasts, the dragon race was the strongest.
Legend had it that the first cultivators of the Dragon Race Continent studied the blood of the dragon race and divided them into realms. They even subjugated the divine dragons, and became the dragon knights.
As for the current Martial Dragon Continent, the dragon riders were legendary beings who could destroy the heavens and the earth with the swing of a hand.
If combat truly broke out, the divine dragons alone could destroy everything without needing the dragon riders to do anything.
“Humph. Su Han, you better not get yourself killed in Fiend Beast Mountain Range.” Su Mingxuan glared at Su Han and followed the guards.
Su Minghui also added mockingly, “You are a genius. The genius of the Su Clan. If you die in Fiend Beast Mountain Range, you are going to disgrace your dad greatly.”
“You two are being asses. Why the hell are your mouths so foul this early in the morning?” Su Han said as he looked ahead indifferently.
The guards heard the conversation and couldn’t help snickering in their hearts. They were laughing at the fact that not only was Su Han a talented cultivator, he also had a way with words.
“Don’t act so tough. If you get into danger, we won’t be able to save you. After all, it was your decision to come along, right?” Su Mingxuan snorted coldly.
“Idiots,” Su Han snapped.
…
After about half a day of travel, the enormous Fiend Beast Mountain Range entered everyone’s sights.
Fiend Beast Mountain Range sprawled out in every direction. It covered a gigantic area and surrounded the whole Dongling Kingdom.
Legend had it that Fiend Beast Mountain Range was formed from the dead body of a huge dragon. However, not many believed in this legend.
“This is the edge of Fiend Beast Mountain Range.”
Pang Qing turned his head over and looked at Su Han and the other two. “Our three young sirs, Fiend Beast Mountain Range is a dangerous place. Although you will be under our protection, you must also be careful and stay with the team. There are many strong threats in Fiend Beast Mountain Range, and with our strength, we will only be looking for spirit items around the edge.”
All three of them nodded.
“Very well. Take a while to get ready. We’ll be entering the range soon,” Pang Qing said.
Very soon, the guards entered a valley.
Although it was just the edge, dense, towering trees blocked out the sunlight and filled the area with darkness.
There were also many bushes around, growing up to two meters tall. Occasionally, pairs of green eyes flickered within them.
“Those are raccoons. They’re just ordinary beasts. There’s no need to worry about them,” said Pang Qing.
“Spirit Mist Grass!”
An excited voice rose from the side. A Su Clan guard had found a stalk of Spirit Mist Grass.
“Haha, good start. It looks like we’re going to get a good harvest this time, since we’ve already found a stalk of Spirit Mist Grass here,” Vice Captain Hu Feng laughed.
“Be careful. Spirit items are usually guarded by fiend beasts. The Spirit Mist Grass is only a low grade spirit item. Spirit items of middle grade and higher would be protected by grade-one fiend beasts. High grade spirit items are even protected by grade-two fiend beasts. You mustn’t let your guard down,” said Pang Qing.
As the team ventured deeper, they discovered more and more spirit items.
Su Han also found three spirit items himself. According to clan rules, whatever he found belonged to him. As for the items the guards discovered, aside from being distributed to Su Han, Su Mingxuan, and Su Minghui, the rest also had to be handed to the clan.
“I’ve only found three Spirit Mist Grass after all this time. This is nowhere near enough.” Su Han shook his head secretly.
“The fiend beasts’ crystal cores are full of spiritual energy. Unfortunately, we still haven’t encountered a single fiend beast up to now.”
In the blink of an eye, the guards were already several kilometers deep into Fiend Beast Mountain Range.
“Be careful; we’re about to enter the middle grade spirit item zone. We’re going to see some fiend beasts there,” Pang Qing suddenly said.
Roar!
Just as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly rang out.
Thump!
The bush ahead shook intensely, and a dark figure rushed towards them.
“A Fanged Porcupine!”
Pang Qing’s eyes flashed, and he laughed, “Brothers, it’s a grade-one fiend beast Fanged Porcupine. We’re set for dinner!”
“Haha, one Fanged Porcupine isn’t enough for all of us to eat!”
Hu Feng joined in the laughter and charged ahead, his steps light.
Hu Feng held a spear in his hand. When he got within five meters of the porcupine, he suddenly threw his spear.
