When I reached the Dean's office, Roger and Cat girl Wei Weian were already waiting for me. It was obvious that they already knew about the mission. After I arrived, Dean Xi Bo didn't say much and just looked at me with admiration. "As expected of the Dragon race's bloodline. In just a few short months, you've already reached the Monster King realm."
He could tell that I had the Monster King realm because I had purposely revealed it. After all, it didn't make sense that my cultivation hadn't greatly increased after I had swallowed the Howling Beast's pill.
I nodded and didn't say anything. Cat girl Wei Weian was the witness of the Howling Beast incident, but she didn't have much of an expression. However, Roger didn't know about the Howling Beast incident. After hearing Dean Xi Bo's words, he was extremely shocked. He turned his head and stared at me.
With a glance, I could tell that Roger had already reached the late stages of the Monster General realm. Compared to the middle stages of the Monster General realm during the Beast Hunting Trial, his improvement was extremely great. This brat probably thought that he could raise his head in front of me, but who knew that he would suffer another blow.
At this moment, the Cat girl seemed to be impatient and took the initiative to ask Dean Xi Bo, "When are we leaving?"
"The journey to Rapids City is long. Of course, the earlier we leave, the better. Follow me."
Dean Xi Bo waved at us and walked out of the office, leading us to the back of the academy.
I felt slightly strange. When we left the academy, we should be walking towards the school gate. Why did Dean Xi Bo choose the opposite direction?
Before I could ask, Dean Xi Bo took the initiative to tell us that the journey to Rapids City was long. It would be extremely difficult to reach it by ourselves, so we would need to borrow the power of monsters.
When I had first come to Rock City, I had already experienced the vastness of the Monster region. However, I couldn't understand why he wanted to borrow the power of monsters.
As I pondered, we had already reached a high wall at the back of the academy. Dean Xi Bo opened the only stone door on the high wall and led us in.
As soon as I stepped through the stone door, I heard the sound of wind whistling. I raised my head and saw a tall cliff on the other side of the stone door. Crouching next to the cliff was a giant bird that was dozens of feet tall!
It wasn't appropriate to say that it was a gigantic bird. This monster had two enormous wings and four hooves under its abdomen. Its body looked like that of a horse and a bird.
In the 《Classic of Mountains and Seas》, there were two types of monsters that had such characteristics. One was Ying Zhao Beast and the other was Gu Hu.
However, the beasts of Yingzhao Mountain had human faces and tiger stripes. The beast in front of him did not have that. It seemed that it was an ancient beast.
As expected, Dean Xi Bo quickly introduced it to us. "This is a beast that our academy uses when we travel. This beast has a gentle temperament and loves to carry people. With its help, it will only take three to four days to reach Rapids City.
Every night, you will have to stay at night to rest. You must. You must. You. You must choose a good camp camp camp camp. Xi.
With regards to the quota for the so called "Spirit Beast Conference", Dean Xi Bo was extremely serious. After telling us the things that we needed to pay attention to, he went on to explain in detail how to take care of the Monster Beast along the way, how to take care of it once we reached the destination, and other details.
After we had memorized everything, he walked over to the beast and pulled out something that looked like a cabin. There were several thick ropes tied to the beast's body.
After we sat down, Dean Xi Bo's face was filled with hope. He extended his hand and patted the beast's buttocks. The beast immediately stood up and stomped on the ground with his four hooves. His body moved horizontally off the cliff and fell down.
Before we could feel the intense weightlessness, the beast spread its huge wings. The wingspan was dozens of meters long. It gently flapped twice, and its giant body, along with the cabin we were sitting in, flew up into the sky.
The speed of the beast was extremely fast. The moment it took off, all I could hear was the howling of the wind. The cold north wind had already buried Roger's body into the bottom of the cabin. Vivian was still able to resist the wind, but her body was obviously sinking.
Naturally, I didn't have any feelings towards the North Wind. Furthermore, there was no need for me to pretend in front of Roger and Vivian.
I turned my head to look down. I could barely see the silhouette of the academy through the clouds. However, it had already shrunk to the size of my palm.
The beast was worthy of being called an ancient monster. Its flying ability wasn't inferior to the planes in the human world.
The speed of the beast became faster and faster. Cat Girl Vivian gradually retreated to the bottom of the cabin.
At first, I looked down with great interest. However, after a period of time, I felt bored and decided to sit cross-legged at the bottom of the cabin. I circulated the power of the God's Will in my body to comprehend it.
Time flew by quickly as I cultivated. A day passed in the blink of an eye and it was soon evening.
The speed of the beast had obviously decreased. Vivian was the first to stand up from the bottom of the cabin. She looked outside, as though she was looking for a suitable place to set up camp.
Not long after, she seemed to have found a good place. Then, she extended her hand and pulled on a rope that was falling from above. With a pull, the beast let out a clear cry, and then, under her control, it fell towards the ground.
After landing, Vivian and I stood up and jumped out of the cabin to check the situation.
Roger also stood up. However, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable. After standing in the cabin for a while, he walked out.
In front of us was a barren desert with a barren hill at the back. It could be considered a suitable place to set up camp.
After observing the surrounding situation, Vivian began to give orders. She asked me to check if there were any signs of ferocious beast activity within a few kilometers, while she went to hunt ferocious beasts for us and the other beasts' rations.
As for Roger, his cultivation was the lowest, so he would naturally stay here.
Since she was willing to make the decision, I didn't want to disturb her mood. Thus, I did as she said and patrolled the surroundings. I released my spiritual sense and roughly scanned the area. I confirmed that there weren't any ferocious beasts above the Monster Saint realm within a few hundred kilometers.
There were a few Monster King ferocious beasts, but they were quite far away from us. There wasn't much to worry about.
It should be safe to set up camp here tonight, but there were very few ferocious beasts in the surroundings. I was worried if Vivian would be able to hunt successfully.
After pondering for a while, I released my spiritual sense to find two Monster Generals that looked like wild goats. After killing them, I carried them back to the camp.
When I returned, Vivian was still nowhere to be seen. Thus, I gave one of the ferocious beasts to Roger. We skinned and divided the meat together. After lighting the bonfire, we started to roast the meat.
Roger was very gloomy throughout the journey. It was most likely related to my cultivation. Thus, he didn't speak and I also remained silent. The two of us were busy preparing the ingredients.
However, after I placed the meat on the bonfire, I suddenly thought of the previous matter with Nam. After thinking for a bit, I felt that it would be better to advise Roger. If Roger had a grudge against me and delayed Nam's marriage, then it would be my fault.
It would have been fine if I didn't mention it. After hearing what I said, Roger's eyes seemed to spew fire. He said angrily, "I probably owed you dog-headed people in my previous life!
During the Beast Hunting Trial, you stole my Beast Pill. I'm not the only one with the Dragon Race's bloodline!
Nam was even worse. My little sister, whom I relied on since young, was actually seduced by this lowly dog-headed person. She even told me that if I didn't agree, she would elope with Nam! "
Oh my, this Nam really had some tricks up his sleeve. He actually tricked a girl into eloping with him!
I grinned but didn't dare to laugh out loud. I advised him awkwardly, "Everyone has their own pursuits. Nam is also very outstanding and your little sister has a clear attitude. Why don't you just agree and forget about it?"
Roger fiercely punched the ground. "What else can I do if I don't agree?
With you around, I won't be able to kill that brat Nam. "
His words made my heart palpitate. After my identity was exposed, would he harm Nam?
I carefully looked at his eyes. Even though he was angry, I didn't feel any killing intent. It seemed that he was just saying those words out of anger.
At that moment, there was movement from afar. The cat girl, Vivian, walked over from the darkness. Her voice was slightly annoyed as she said, "This place is desolate and remote. There are very few ferocious beasts. I only found a Sand Fox …"
