Chapter 998: Fortuitous Encounter
Because of the two children’s mythical comeback, the World of Magical Beasts had its history broken time and time again.
Yan Kuan and the others naturally did not know about all the glorious history that had happened to the two children. At this moment, they were once again facing a different crisis, one that was even more dangerous than before.
Time and time again, in the deepest part of the second layer of the forest, they did not seem to be as smooth as the two children. No, it was not like that, it was that the two children were not smooth to begin with.
At this moment, they were ordinary humans, and without their knowledge, the two children were already members of the Magical Beast Clan.
“The number of magical beasts we encounter in almost a day is several times more than before. Some of these magical beasts are extremely strong, and some of them are extremely weak, but they just happened to be encountered by us. Are they trying to spar with us?”
“Yes, they are not trying to spar with us. After the animals in the second layer of the forest evolve into magical beasts, they will train for a while. When they reach a certain stage of training, they will enter the third layer of the forest.”
“But the magical beasts in the third layer of the forest are too powerful, so they need to keep practicing.”
“So this means that we are practicing. I was wondering why there are so many magical beasts. Look at us. We haven’t moved for the past two days.”
“That’s why I said that the further we go, the more difficult it will be. We didn’t mean to barge in here. Even if they don’t meet us, they will meet other magical beasts to practice.”
“No wonder you said that it would take at least half a year or at least three months to enter the third layer of the forest. So that’s what you meant. We have already walked for two months, and we have only reached half of the second layer of the forest.”
“Don’t be anxious. The more anxious we are, the more chaotic it will be. Moreover, our goal is to enter the third layer of the forest. Once we enter, we will find traces of the children. The key is to get past the second layer, so it’s not a big deal even if we spend more time.”
“Hey, quickly sit down and I’ll change the medicine. There are actually dinosaurs here. I thought I had entered Jurassic Park.”
“Didn’t Reger say there were dragons? What’s so strange about that? Alright, quickly change the dressing.”
Shen Xiaoxiao carefully changed the dressing for Yan Kuan. There was a very deep wound on his calf. Fortunately, it was not large enough. It was scratched by a cheetah. Its speed was too fast. Cheetahs were the fastest animals in the world. Its limbs were extremely powerful and its speed was also very fast. A powerful person like Yan Kuan was able to successfully escape from the encirclement of three cheetahs and only injured his leg. One could imagine how terrifying these animals were.
“There’s movement?”
The traps they had set outside the cave made a noise. Could it be that there were wild beasts attacking just as they sat down? They had scattered the medicinal powder, so they should not be able to smell it. Were these wild beasts really turning into spirits?
“Sit down and rest. I’ll go out and take a look.”
“Be careful.”
Yan Kuan also knew that in the World of Magical Beasts, he could not always stand in front of Shen Xiaoxiao. In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao needed more experience than he did. Only when everyone was strong could they survive in this place.
Yan Kuan sat in the cave. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried, but he still trusted Shen Xiaoxiao more. Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao was not stupid. She naturally knew to call him if she could not beat it. Even if she could not beat it, she could still run away.
Shen Xiaoxiao walked out of the cave. She held the blade in her hand and was ready to attack at any time. When she saw the magical beast, she was ready to kill it to vent her anger.
“Hey, little monkey, why are you here?”
Just when Shen Xiaoxiao thought that some incredible magical beast would be able to find them, she unexpectedly saw the golden monkey who had brought them here.
This little monkey had run away after entering this place. It had gone to look for its family. She did not expect that after half a month, this little monkey would actually come looking for them.
The little monkey was chirping. Shen Xiaoxiao did not understand. However, the little monkey seemed to be in a hurry. Shen Xiaoxiao grabbed the little monkey and brought it into the cave.
“Why is it here?”
“I’m curious as well. How could it be the little monkey? It’s quite smart to be able to find this place. However, it seems like it has something to say. Unfortunately, we don’t understand it.”
Yan Kuan looked at the golden monkey. In the past, it was most afraid of him. However, now that it saw them, it started chattering non-stop. It was just that they did not understand what it meant.
However, the little monkey actually made a shocking move.
PA!
It knelt down for them and even bowed. Did It have something to ask of them?
The monkey kneeling and bowing could be seen from the outside. However, that was all trained. However, this monkey actually knew how to do it. What was going on?
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan in confusion. Yan Kuan frowned and said to Shen Xiaoxiao,”Take the medical box. Let’s go for a walk. The little monkey has something to ask of us.”
“Oh, okay.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not refuse. It was not that she was kind, but that the little monkey had stayed with them for more than half a month. Although it was shrewd, it was exceptionally obedient.
Moreover, they had a premonition that helping the little monkey would only bring them benefits and no harm.
The little monkey watched as they held their bags and chirped a few more times before walking to the front to lead the way. From time to time, it would even turn around to look at them.
However, the path that the little monkey was leading was very remote. There was not a single magical beast to be seen. There was not even an ordinary pheasant or wild rabbit. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and there was even a cliff not far away. Below the cliff was the vast ocean. In such a place, did the little monkey live here?
Soon, their guess was confirmed. They stopped at a cave near the cliff.
At this moment, they were at least 40 minutes away from their cave. Other than the fact that the path was not very easy to walk on, they did not see any magical beasts. It was obvious how far they had traveled.
“How’s your leg? If I had known earlier, I would not have let you come. I would have done it myself.”
“If you had not let me come, I would not have let you follow the monkey alone. Moreover, the wound was sewn up very well and the recovery was very good. The medicine from the pharmacists is very effective in this aspect. The herbs they collected were all wild herbs from the mountain forest. The effect was at least a hundred times better than the ones outside.
“Don’t worry, I won’t show off. I’ll be fine.”
“Alright, we’re here, right? Are you going to climb down this cave? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, don’t worry.”
The monkey was very good at climbing. Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan were not bad either. Even though they were injured, they still climbed down the cliff very smoothly and reached a cave after a little while.
After the two people and one monkey walked in, they saw a scene that surprised them. A white ape was lying on the ground, looking out of the cave with its eyes wide open. Its eyes were dispirited, and only when it saw the little monkey did it become slightly more energetic. However, what they didn’t expect was that the white ape wasn’t surprised or guarded at all when it saw them. Its eyes were extremely calm.
There was a one-foot-long hole in its chest all the way to its abdomen. That wasn’t the main point. The main point was that the white ape’s stomach that had been cut open was emitting a red glow. It was a red crystal magical beast. It was a Level 5 magical beast…
