After some time, Xia Tian and the others had already arrived at the edge of the Star-Moon Forest. He immediately used his Heavenly Senses to locate the iron boars. Before long, he had found their location, and they were in the inner area of the forest, but they don't reach the deepest area
However, Xia Tian didn't want to take them to hunt iron boars directly. It was because he still didn't know about their fighting abilities, so he wanted them to seek experience in real combat first, especially for the other four.
He could sense sword energy from Ling Chen's body, but her sword energy was still too weak, and he didn't know how deep she understood the dao of the sword yet.
As for the two, he thought that they were combat-type cultivators. Since Huo Jun has the fire element, and Yun Feng has the wind element.
Even though Xia Wu was a healer, he wanted her to be able to protect herself well. Because if a healer is too weak, then she will become an easy prey for their enemies. And if she died first, then the rest of the team would also be in danger.
"Shall we go in now, Brother Xia?" Yun Feng asked, and his eyes were fixed on that forest entrance. Huo Jun and Ling Chen were also waiting for an answer from him.
Of them all, Mo Xiaoqi was the most enthusiastic about going into the forest immediately, because she wanted to test her current fighting skills. As for Xia Wu, she was afraid to go into the forest, because she had never hunted in the forest before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia Tian nodded to them, and he explained. "I want you guys to go into the forest separately, but you guys don't scatter too far."
"Eh!?" The four people exclaimed in shock, and they stared at him questioningly, especially Xia Wu.
Mo Xiaoqi giggled at seeing their reactions like that, then she said. "I will go into the forest first, Young Master."
"Alright!"
After she got Xia Tian's approval, Mo Xiaoqi immediately dashed into the forest, while she spread her senses to the surrounding area to guard against the sudden attack of the beasts.
Yun Feng and Huo Jun stared at her back, dumbfounded. They felt that Mo Xiaoqi was much braver than them. They then looked at each other and laughed wryly, and they immediately ran into the forest after that.
Ling Chen let out a soft sigh. She then ran into the forest, and she moved towards some distance to the east.
"Cousin Tian, I-"
Xia Tian stopped her from speaking with a smile. "I know that you are not used to fighting, let alone hunting in the forest, Little Wu. But as a healer, you must be able to take care of yourself, because the fate of your group is in your hands. If you are the first to fall, then they will be in danger."
"But-"
"Relax, Little Wu." Xia Tian then held her shoulders. "You can rest easy, I won't let anything bad happen to you, and I will save you if you are in a pinch."
Xia Wu didn't immediately agree, and she looked him in the eye with seriousness. After thinking about it for some time, she nodded in agreement, and she immediately moved towards the west.
After all of them left, Xia Tian flew over the Star-Moon Forest, and he also spread his senses over the forest. "Monitor their movements, Alice."
[Relax, Master. I've marked them.] As Xia Tian casually flew over the forest while observing the movements of the five people, Alice suddenly spoke again. [Anyway, I detected a beast suitable to be Little Qi's beast contract, Master.]
"En." Xia Tian nodded in agreement. "Although the Shadow Spider's cultivation is only at Peak Stage Body Strengthening Realm, she is indeed the most suitable to become Little Qi's beast contract."
[Are you going to capture that Shadow Spider now, Master?]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Nope." Xia Tian shook his head. "In order to obtain a beast contract, Little Qi must subdue the Shadow Spider by herself, so that the bond between them can be stronger. Moreover, the Shadow Spider is still very young, and she is not Little Qi's opponent, so she won't have any trouble subduing her."
[Well, that's true.]
After that, Xia Tian spoke to Mo Xiaoqi through his Family Mark, and he directed her to the Shadow Spider's location. She answered him excitedly, and she immediately moved to the location he pointed. "Heh, Little Qi is getting more and more interested in fighting, and that's because of her bloodline."
[Wasn't her father always like that too, Master? As I recall, Xie Tianyu is a maniac fighter, and he likes to challenge others to a fight.]
"That's true, Alice." Xia Tian chuckled, remembering one of his best friends. "Tianyu even challenged me to a fight hundreds of times, but he never won against me."
[Humph! That Xie Tianyu is a muscle head and also a knucklehead, he never even uses his brain to think at all while fighting.]
Xia Tian only laughed at Alice's words, because Xie Tianyu was like that. Since he was a demon, and he had a much stronger physique than normal cultivators, so he relied more on brute strength, and he never used any strategy when fighting. But he suddenly remembered his friend's situation, and he couldn't help but sigh. "That Tianyu! If I ever meet him again, I will beat him to a pulp."
But Alice mocked him instead. [How are you going to beat him, Master? You are so much weaker than him now, if you fight him now, then you will be the one who will be beaten badly by him.]
"Damn you, Alice!" Xia Tian cursed loudly at her taunt. "If only you had a physical body, I would definitely spank your ass hard!"
Hearing that, Alice burst into laughter in her space. Because Xia Tian still didn't know that she was no longer an AI, but she had become a living being with her physique and will. However, she remained loyal to him, because he was the one who created her in the first place, and she had also accompanied him for thousands of years.
