Two days later.

In a low, cratered area.

At this moment, Xia Jian was sitting on the ground, grimacing and clutching his leg.

A row of teeth marks were visible on his left leg, and blood dripped down his leg to the ground.

Summer spent all day hunting geese, but he never expected to get his eyes pecked by a goose.

The reason was that he successfully caught up with the people from the Arctic Sirius Palace, but he didn't expect that the dogs they brought would have such a keen sense of smell.

Before he could even get close enough to launch a sneak attack, he was spotted by the Qi Spirit Wolf hidden in the shadows, and the bastard even bit him.

If it weren't for his exceptional physique, he probably wouldn't have been able to get that leg back.

Ultimately, pursued by the Qi Spirit Wolf and the Arctic Sky Wolf Palace, Xia Jian could only flee in a sorry state and hide here.

"You bastards, I'll roast you all once I recover!"

Xia Jian looked at his injured leg, wondering if the dog had rabies.

After taking out the detoxification pills and healing medicine from his spatial bag, Xia Jian swallowed them and then took out all the spatial bags he had previously collected.

Now that the people of the Arctic Sirius Palace are on guard, and the Black Wizard has disappeared without a trace, he needs a magical artifact that can block out scents.

Otherwise, even if he could defeat the people from the Arctic Sirius Palace, he would probably get injured, which would not be as profitable as a sneak attack.

After rummaging through his spatial bag for a while, Xia Jian acquired two dark magic spells and one blood magic spell, but he couldn't find any magical artifacts to shield his aura.

It's not that it has absolutely no effect, but its effect is similar to the Breath Concealing Technique.

Since the Qi Spirit Wolf can find its own existence, magical artifacts with similar effects are obviously not very useful.

Looking at the scabbed wound on his leg, Xia Jian's expression was uncertain.

"Is our only option to fight head-on?"

Although the Qi Spirit Wolf's combat strength is weak, it can still be considered a wizard-level combatant.

Fighting a dozen or so opponents without being able to launch a sneak attack is no easy task for Xia Jian.

"Give me two more months."

Thinking of this, Xia Jian couldn't help but sigh.

If his strength reaches the late stage of the first tier, he can wipe out this bunch of misfits in the blink of an eye, or even just the mid-stage strength would be enough.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time.

Recently, intense energy fluctuations have been emanating from within the Lin Ya Ruins, indicating that the group has already begun their battle inside, and time is running out for him.

Just as Xia Jian was pondering how to deal with the Arctic Sirius Palace, he suddenly heard intermittent sounds of fighting.

Xia Jian climbed out of the pit, only to see a dark figure rushing towards him.

Thinking that they might be from the Arctic Sirius Palace, Xia Jian took out his wooden sword, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Just as Xia Jian was about to attack, the shadow revealed Bro's appearance.

At this moment, Bro was covered in tatters and his face was full of panic, as if he had encountered something bad.

Just as Bro came above Natsuma and was about to leap over the crater, Natsuma grabbed Bro's leg and pulled him down.

Bro reacted very quickly, conjuring a fireball in his hand.

"It's me!"

Xia Jian casually extinguished the fireball and said in a low voice.

"You scared me to death! What were you doing hiding here? I thought you'd been killed by some other faction."

Seeing that it was summer, Bro wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but relax.

"Why are you in such a panic? Did you run into those dark wizards?"

Xia Jian did not answer, but instead asked Bro why he had come here.

He had already confirmed that Neil Bella's people were not going in this direction, and that the Yinmo Valley wizards in that direction had already been eliminated by him.

"What dark wizard? We're being chased by a Bloodweb Redtooth Crab!"

Bro looked at Natsumi with a puzzled expression, then asked why he looked so disheveled.

The Blood-Net Red-Toothed Crab is a large, mythical beast with blood-red, net-like patterns on its back and claws that have transformed into sharp, reddish jointed limbs resembling spider spears.

Normal adult Bloodweb Red Fang Crabs can grow to the level of a formal wizard, with a few reaching the level of a second-tier wizard.

Just a day earlier, the people of Neilbella discovered a nest of Bloodweb Red Tooth Crab eggs and prepared to take them back to Neilbella for incubation and cultivation.

If trained properly, Neil Bella would essentially gain several more formal wizard-level combatants out of thin air.

However, Bro and the others did not expect that a second-tier Bloodweb Red Tooth Crab was hiding near the nest of Bloodweb Red Tooth Crab eggs, and two of them died in just one encounter.

The remaining people scattered and fled in all directions, and now the Bloodweb Red Tooth Crab had caught up with Bro.

If it weren't for the life-saving equipment given to him by his family, Bro would have been completely devoured by the Bloodweb Red Fang Crab.

"A place like this? Second-tier?"

After listening to Bro's story, Xia Jian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This place is comparable to a land devoid of spiritual energy. Staying in such a place for a long time would not only prevent one from improving, but also require a large amount of resources to maintain one's cultivation level.

"Yeah, who would have thought? We originally thought there would be at most one or two Tier 1 Bloodweb Red Fang Crabs."

Bro scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

After all, such a place cannot be formed in a day or two, and the creatures living here will gradually degenerate.

They were too complacent and rashly went to collect the Bloodweb Red Tooth Crab eggs without even understanding the situation, which led to them being chased and killed by the second-tier Bloodweb Red Tooth Crab.

"Hehehehe..."

Just then, the sound of arthropods walking could be heard nearby.

Upon hearing this voice, Bro panicked: "Let's go quickly!"

So many people couldn't beat him before, and even if Xia Jian is stronger than him, he would definitely not be a match for a second-tier Bloodweb Red Fang Crab.

But Xia Jian suddenly looked at Bro, staring at him so intently that Bro felt a chill run down his spine.

"You still have the Bloodweb Red-toothed Crab eggs on you, don't you?"

Normally, these kinds of strange beasts don't leave their nests easily, otherwise what if they were wiped out by someone?

Since the Bloodweb Red Fang Crab was able to track them here, either Bro and his companions destroyed the beast egg, or the beast egg was on Bro.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Bro gave an awkward laugh, then took out two white-shelled beast eggs with blood-red vein patterns.

Xia Jian rolled his eyes at the sight: "You really aren't afraid of death, are you? Even in this state, you still want to run away with the beast egg."

If it were Natsume himself, even if he didn't return the beast egg, he would just roast it and eat it. He certainly wouldn't be carrying the beast egg around.

After all, second-tier creatures are very strong, and even a regular first-tier wizard would find it difficult to break through their defenses.

"What are you saying? I was just thinking of getting one for you as a souvenir."

Bro chuckled and began to defend himself.

"Didn't you just say you thought I was dead?" Xia Jian rolled her eyes at Bro, ruthlessly exposing Bro's lie.

"What do we do now? Should we return the beast egg?"

Bro placed the two beast eggs on the ground in front of Xia Jian.

Hearing the footsteps around him, Xia Jian's eyes darted around as he began to think about how to maximize his profits.
