Hoai Bao went to Linh Nhi and gave her a pill:
– This is Hoi Linh Dan, it can help speed up the recovery of spiritual power, take it!
– Thank you!
Phong Linh Nhi took the pill and swallowed it. Hoai Bao also took out two pills for himself, one was the Hoi Linh Dan, one was the Hoi Hon Dan to heal his damaged soul after using the secret technique.
Duong said:
– You guys rest a bit, then we leave this place as soon as possible!
Linh Nhi asked:
– Why don’t we hide in the spirit realm and wait until we fully recover before coming out?
Hoai Bao replied:
– Because Dai Du will definitely call people to come find us for revenge, and he saw us emerge from the cave so there will definitely be people guarding this cave, if we hide then we can be safe but how long can we hide?
Duong nodded:
– That’s right! The problem is where do we hide?
Phong Linh Nhi said:
– Go back to my village…
So after a while of resting, Duong and Hoai Bao followed Linh Nhi to find their way back to her village. Along the way, they also encountered a few spirit beasts and a few hunters participating in the competition, but they all tried to avoid them and did not encounter any major conflicts.
Overcoming danger, the three people who had just met became close friends. Sometimes Hoai Bao told Duong and Linh Nhi about the Am Dao Association.
– I heard this news from my father, this Yin Dao Association is researching some kind of genetic technology, in recent years they have sent people everywhere to hunt for something.
Hoai Bao continued:
– This trip I came here to train, but my father reminded me to be careful because there is intelligence that people from the Am Dao Association will take advantage of the competition to infiltrate and search for that thing in this Pu Mat forest.
Duong asked:
– Why do they have to take advantage of the competition? The forest is so big, who would know if they just went in?
Hoai Bao replied:
– Before the competition took place, the Imperial City’s experts patrolled regularly to prevent them from breaking in. When the competition began, the Imperial City’s people would guard the edge of the forest, preventing others from breaking in illegally. This was a traditional competition initiated by the Goddess of Life herself, so the organizers did not dare to change the rules, only placing a few Spirit Generals to monitor and prevent their plots.
– So! So do you know what they are looking for? – Duong continued to ask.
Hoai Bao shook his head at first, then nodded:
– Not yet! But I guessed it…
– Are they looking for us? – Phong Linh Nhi said.
Hoai Bao sighed and did not reply. He and Linh Nhi had heard Dai Du talk about searching for Phong Linh Thanh Nu.
– Find Phong Linh Nhi, genetic technology, are they planning to…
Duong opened his mouth wide:
– … create an army of fairies!
Hoai Bao nodded:
– It’s very possible, and it’s even more possible, finding and capturing people of the Dragon Clan is much easier than finding Immortals, I suspect they even want to create an Immortal-Dragon form like you!
– Do you think it’s easy?
– Natural reproduction is not possible, but if they successfully research genetic technology, it is entirely possible to increase the success rate! – Hoai Bao said.
Duong said fiercely:
– Humph! I won’t let Linh Nhi fall into their hands!
Hoai Bao nodded:
– Me too!
– Thank you both… – Phong Linh Nhi said emotionally.
The next stage is a conversation about how Duong and Hoai Bao first met and some of their adventures, then asking for information about Linh Nhi.
– I am a Wind Elf born in this forest, thanks to many years of cultivation I evolved into a Fairy, then many years later thanks to fate I evolved again. Every time our Fairy clan evolves it is a rebirth, returning to an egg and growing from the beginning, at that time my adoptive grandfather, who is also the clan leader, accidentally saw my egg and picked it up to raise, from then on I lived like a villager.
Duong asked curiously:
– So how old are you?
Phong Linh Nhi opened her eyes wide and thought:
– Probably… about two thousand years old or something, I am not yet an adult so my memories are still very vague…
“Ah! I really want to fly this ancient plane!” The lustful Duong thought to himself, while Hoai Bao breathed a sigh of relief. If they were the same age, it would be too humiliating. His fighting strength was far inferior to hers…
– But why are you wandering here, and your spiritual power is exhausted? – Hoai Bao wondered.
Phong Linh Nhi replied:
– At that time, I went into the forest to find some medicine to cure my grandfather, but I saw a pregnant tiger being attacked by a group of monkeys, so I rushed in to save her. The monkeys were very strong, the leader of the group reached level 8 of the Spirit General, I had to become an Immortal to be able to fight them off, then on the way back, I was chased by a leopard, I escaped into a cave but then came across a wolf’s cave, so I was chased again and accidentally met you two…
– Ah… – Duong and Bao nodded.
Phong Linh Nhi followed her ability to sense the wind direction so she was not afraid of getting lost in the forest. She led Duong and Hoai Bao to continue through the forest to find their way back to the village.
– After passing this forest, you will reach our village…
Phong Linh Nhi had just finished speaking when she suddenly heard a loud scream and roar from ahead.
– There’s a fight up ahead! Let’s go around to another road!
– Wait! This shout sounds familiar… – Phong Linh Nhi stopped and listened.
Someone continued to shout:
– Quickly! Take the clan leader and run first! I will stay and fight him to the death!
Phong Linh Nhi immediately realized:
– He is a member of my clan, and my grandfather is there! I must go there!
Despite her weak spiritual power, Phong Linh Nhi ran through the forest, Duong and Hoai Bao also chased after her.
The three of them chased to the place and saw a group of four people wearing brocade costumes confronting a huge monster that Duong looked like the extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex in his world. This was the Tyrannosaurus Rex, a type of spirit beast that evolved from reptiles.
– Grandpa! – Phong Linh Nhi saw the Dan Lai clan leader in the group and immediately ran over.
The four people were happy to see Linh Nhi was safe, but then became even more worried:
– Linh Nhi! Run!
– No, let’s run together! – Linh Nhi said stubbornly.
– Don’t be stupid, this is the Earth Dragon Tyrant, I can’t measure its level! At least it’s a Spirit King, run, we’ll stay and stop it for you! – The clan leader said.
The ferocious Earth Dragon was still waiting for its prey. Although they kept their distance, the four Dan Le people did not dare to run because this species was famous for having extremely strong legs. If they ran together, it would jump back and kill them all.
Hoai Bao and Duong also ran back. It’s cowardly to stand by and watch a pretty girl in danger!
Seeing Bao and Duong, the old patriarch asked:
– Who are these two people?
– They are my friends! They saved me when I was lost.
Linh Nhi introduced:
– This is Hoai Bao, and this is Duong.
– Hello, clan leader!
Hoai Bao and Duong politely nodded to the old man, then looked at the beast seriously.
Hoai Bao secretly asked:
– Master, what level is this beast?
The old man replied:
– Strange! I don’t know either…
– Why? Is it stronger than master?
While Hoai Bao was wondering, the beast roared ferociously, making everyone tremble with fear.
Only Duong was delighted:
– Haha! So it’s you! This time you can’t escape!
Having said that, Duong cracked his knuckles and ran towards the dinosaur with vigor.
– Don’t!
Hoai Bao and the clan leader didn’t think Duong would be so stupid as to charge at the beast so they couldn’t stop him in time, they could only shout loudly to call him.
But it was too late, Duong rushed at the dinosaur as tall as a building like a kid, the dinosaur immediately opened its huge mouth full of teeth waiting to bite Duong.
Soldier!
Of course, Hoai Bao and the Dan Lai people would not have expected that Duong would be able to use a normal punch to distort the face of that Earth Dragon Tyrant with immeasurable strength.
The Tyrant Earth Dragon fell to the ground in pain, struggled, and then transformed back into its original form. Who else but the same Sky Shadow Monster from before!
– Hey, what a kindergarten tiger!
Duong triumphantly ran to grab the animal, while Hoai Bao and the Dan Le people stared wide-eyed, who would have thought that the giant dinosaur would turn into a lovely pink cotton ball.
– Ah! It’s him!
Phong Linh Nhi had seen the Sky Shadow Strange Beast before so she happily ran over to look at it.
– It’s playing dead again!
Duong happily flipped the tiny beast over in the palm of his hand. The beast stiffened, exposing its fat belly as if to prove that it was dead. When Duong poked its belly a few times, it raised its head and tried to bite Duong’s hand, but Duong had learned from the previous experience so he immediately pulled his hand back. After missing, the beast raised its head and closed its eyes, pretending to be dead a second time, making Duong and Linh Nhi laugh with delight.
– So it turns out to be a type of beast with extremely rare illusionary abilities! It scared the hell out of everyone!
Only now did Hoai Bao and the others understand, and looking at Duong’s expression, they guessed that Duong had seen the beast before and had also transformed into a dinosaur like this, so he recognized it right away, so he didn’t ask any questions or suspect anything.
At this moment, Thien Anh Di Thu seemed to have realized that the fake death technique was ineffective. He panicked and struggled to escape from Duong’s hand, but of course it was useless.
– This beast is really cunning! You should find a way to tame it!
Phong Linh Nhi happily stroked the fluffy fur of the Sky Shadow Strange Beast and said.
– How to subdue? – Duong asked.
Phong Linh Nhi said:
– One is to slowly raise it and make friends with it, two is to beat it until it listens… but don’t use the second method, it’s a sin…
– Is that all?
Duong was stunned. In his mind, he thought that subduing was something like establishing a master-servant contract, or using a red and white shadow to hit the beast’s face. If not, it was also using a sealing technique and drawing a seal on his hand and hitting it on the ground to summon it when needed…
– What do you want? – Phong Linh Nhi asked with wide eyes.
– Oh, it’s nothing, if you like it, keep it… – Duong held out the animal, intending to give it to Phong Linh Nhi.
Phong Linh Nhi liked it so much that her face turned red, but she refused to admit it:
– It has a predestined relationship with you, and you are the one who caught it. Even if I accept it, I still won’t be able to tame it…
– Is that so?
Duong nodded, thinking to himself:
“Well, then I’ll bring it back to Bao Ngoc to raise, she’s very good at training pets…”
…
