Chapter 124: Troublemakers

The sound of the flesh ripping filled the forest. At this time, no one continued to move as they saw the tiger beast roared angrily once more. The sound clearly filled the area, preventing them from going away.

'Sound attack is formidable.'

That was what Lin Xiao was thinking when he finally saw the tiger beast plopped to the ground. His eyes were watching the beast in front of him with cautiousness, worrying if it was only faking its death.

"It's no longer breathing," Wenren Yu said from the side. He stepped forward and took out a dagger before ripping the tiger's flesh once to open the beast's stomach. The sight of a beautiful sphere within the beast's body attracted their attention.

"Beast core."

Aside from unranked beast, other beasts would have beast core inside their body. The size and color of the core signified their rank and also power. Beast core was also very useful for training, which was why their training so far had been going smoothly.

Elder Wang gave them the beasts core they gained for them to train, which made them advance faster.

Wenren Yu took the beast core and then shoved it to Lin Xiao. "Keep it and just use it. You're the slowest one."

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, yet he couldn't say anything to refute. He obviously always got the most from the beasts cores they had gathered, but he was still the slowest to advance. Of course, the culprit was because there was a dragon lurking inside his body and needed to be fed.

Dragon's food? Qi Energy.

"Take the beast's flesh?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

Lin Xiao looked at the beast and then nodded his head. He looked at the woman's corpse that was lying not far from them. The head and the chest's part had long disappeared, leaving only the arms, legs and part of the stomach.

Crouching not far from the woman, Lin Xiao took the Spatial Ring from the woman's finger and handed it to Wenren Yu.

"You're giving it to me?" Wenren Yu was surprised. Lin Xiao didn't even take a moment to check what was inside the Spatial Ring before giving it to him. Did Lin Xiao trust him so much that he would divulge anything to others.

"You don't have any Spatial Ring. Let's go and we'll check the content later."

"Got it."

If the woman was truly from influential family, it was clear that whoever was chasing the woman would surely reach this place. The wounds on the woman's body was only from the tiger beasts, so Lin Xiao and the others were not worried that they would be accused as the killers.

Nevertheless, they still took the Spatial Ring, which meant that these people might not let them off.

Swish!

Just five minutes after Lin Xiao had left, several people arrived in the location. Their eyes widened upon seeing the headless corpse in front of them. Based on the wound on the woman's body, it was clear that she was killed by the beast they chased just now.

"This… what should we do?"

"Well, we can just report that she died in mission, right?"

"It's true." The young man, who acted as the leader, furrowed his brows. His eyes landed on the woman's hand and noticed that the Spatial Ring had disappeared. Instantly, his expression turned odd.

"Is there anyone else but us here?"

"Feng Yi City is located not far from here. There might be some people who come here and passed by," his friend replied.

The leader looked towards Feng Yi City's direction then to the bloodstain on the ground. He instantly realized that whoever passed by this area had already killed the tiger beasts and took the woman's Spatial Ring.

However, it would be impossible to prove such thing unless they were here when it happened.

"This is troublesome," the leader murmured.

"Leader…"

"Let's go back to the sect. Take our fellow junior disciple and we'll explain just as it is," the leader said in deadpan tone. If they left their junior disciple's body here and didn't give any explanation, they would be chased until the end. But if they showed that the disciple died because of beasts, they might still able to get some lenience.

"But she's the daughter of the elder…"

The leader looked at the disciple with cold expression. "If you wish to be runaway, feel free to go."

The young man was stunned but then he bit his lips. Many of them didn't have good background and had to fight hard to be able to enter the sect back then. If this problem was connected to them, would it be possible for them to get out?

They wanted to cry.

If it was not because they needed a lot of resources to cultivate, they would have never want to stay in the sect when they encountered something like this. Being a runaway would be far worse than facing trials because if they ran away, they basically threw away their future.

The group of men had similar thoughts. They were not stupid but there was simply nothing they could do. Besides, with the woman's attitude, many disliked this woman and now, they were the one getting the blame.

What a terrible luck.

Lin Xiao and the others obviously didn't know what had happened to the woman and her background. They swiftly left and only paused to cook the tiger's meat for meal before continuing their journey again.

Along the way, they met with some other beasts but for beast rank 2 and lower, one person was more than enough to defeat them. Beast rank 3 was pretty rare, so they were lucky enough not to meet with any more.

"Shall we check the Spatial Ring now?" Wenren Yu asked before they rested for the night. They still need a few more hours to reach Ri Village, the location for their mission. However, they didn't want to travel in the middle of the night, so they chose to stop here.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Sure. You can check now."

"Alright."

Taking the Spatial Ring, Wenren Yu didn't need to exert much effort to breach inside. Ownerless Spatial Ring could be bound with new owners as long as they have some Qi to do the job.

"Holy…"
