Twice as profound?

Lu Li sat down with his legs crossed. He concentrated on cultivation for a while after discovering the speed of cultivation in here was indeed faster. It was like he was cultivating in the rooms of the Heaven Prison tavern.
Lu Li opened his eyes and put on a stern expression. The Xuan Qi between heaven and earth was profound which meant that if there were indigenous residents here, the speed of their cultivation would be twice as fast as well. Powerful warriors could be evolved easily.
There were already three small worlds connected to the Thousand-island Lake. Hunchback Tian said the small worlds were put down by warriors led by Old Man of Heaven Prison himself. Lu Li did not know exactly which realm Old Man of the Heaven Prison was at, but since he could rank among the top three on the Warlord List of the Northern Desert, he must be a master at the peak.
In other words, the indigenous residents of this small world were powerful. There must be warriors of the Eternal Realm, if not the Noble Lord Realm, here. But Hunchback Tian was only at the peak of the Soul Pond Realm. He couldn’t even deal with warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm, let alone the Eternal Realm.

That was indeed ill-considered action…

Lu Li secretly sighed. But it was too late to say that now. They had to do their best and leave the rest to the gods.
Hunchback Tian regained his calmness after his tantrum. He helplessly sighed and said,
Let’s go and have a look around. If we are blessed and there are no indigenous people in the small world, we might devise a meaning to go back. If there are… we need to be ready to die here.

Lu Li got up and had the Green Dwarfs follow them. The two people and company moved slowly forward in the forest. Hunchback Tian was discreet; he kept looking around.

Rustle, rustle, rustle~

Another three miles forward, a noise of something rubbing the ground came out. Hunchback Tian became alarmed in an instant. He jumped onto a big tree and glanced to the distance. He shouted,
Unicorn Boa? Run now!

Lu Li had heard about Unicorn Boa before, a Xuan Beast of the Third Rank. What he did not understand was why Hunchback Tian at the peak of Soul Pond Realm was so afraid of one Unicorn Boa?
Hunchback Tian had already turned around started running. Lu Li dared not to ask more now. He had to have a Green Dwarf grab him and run madly. Without his Bloodline Skill, Lu Li’s speed was not impressive.
Rustle, rustle, rustle~
The noise of things rubbing the ground was getting louder. Lu Li finally understood why Hunchback Tian tried to run away. It was not a single sound at their back, but several. It indicated that at least dozens of Unicorn Boas were behind them.

Have a Green Dwarf to block them. You cannot get away like this!
Hunchback Tian shouted from the front as he stopped running by himself. Lu Li bit his teeth and ordered a Green Dwarf,
Go and block the Xuan Beasts behind us.

There were Soul Worms in the head of the Green Dwarfs which made it impossible for them to disobey their owner’s orders. Terror showed in its green eyes, but still, it had to turn back and ran along.
Swish~
Lu Li dared not to stay. He grabbed onto a stronger Green Dwarf and ran with his help. Hissing sound came from behind them soon. Not long afterwards, that Green Dwarf miserably screamed, boding ill rather than well. It was probably devoured by the Unicorn Boas.
Lu Li controlled the Green Dwarf to run desperately. He ran for another more than 10 miles before he saw Hunchback Tian who was standing on a big tree. He looked for a while and said,
They stopped pursuing us. What the hell is this place? How come there are dozens Unicorn Boas…

The more powerful the Xuan Beasts were, the less of them there would be. It was the same with human warriors. Granted, there many Third-rank Xuan Beasts in the world outside, but it was the first time Hunchback Tian saw dozens Unicorn Boas in one time.
Lu Li felt depressed that one Green Dwarf was dead. After Hunchback Tian got in here, he didn’t behave so well. The Green Dwarfs were only this many. Without that Green Dwarf, Lu Li would have been dead.

Go!

After a while, Hunchback Tian waved his hand to ask Lu Li to follow him. Hunchback Tian was not feeling warm towards Lu Li right now. Hunchback Tian bringing Lu Li now probably was just so Lu Li could block Xuan Beasts or enemies at some critical moments.
Actually, from the perspective of Hunchback Tian, it was normal. The two of them still had a chance to get out this time, but without their lives, it would be a joke to pursue Fate Wheel Realm now. Lu Li was of no use to Hunchback Tian now, so the latter would not treat the former the way he used to. After all, the friendship between the two was not concrete.
The two moved on in silence. The seven Green Dwarfs were following them. Hunchback Tian kept on looking around, but more carefully this time.
Another more than six miles forward, Hunchback Tian angrily shouted again,
There is a Fourth-rank Xuan Beast ahead of us. Have two Green Dwarfs block it. Otherwise, we will both die.


Fourth-rank Xuan Beast?

Lu Li trembled. His eyes flickered in doubt. As soon as a surge of beast power spread his way from the distance, he stopped hesitating.
He sent two Green Dwarfs to rush forward. Another one was taking him, and together with Hunchback Tian, they suddenly changed their directions and rushed towards the left.

Howl~

A shocking roar came out, shaking the entire mountain and forest. Lu Li’s qi and blood tumbled around from the shock. He urged the Green Dwarfs to move faster again and again. He would look back every now and then for fear that the huge monster would catch up.
Hunchback Tian was really using Lu Li as a scapegoat. He had ran so far that Lu Li could not see him. Lu Li secretly swore, but he still had to run wildly forward helplessly.

Howl!

Another shocking roar came from behind, and there was a muffled noise of footsteps as well. Beast power once again enveloped Lu Li, making him complain about the difficulty in secret. He had to allocate another two Green Dwarfs to intercept, knowing that once the Fourth-rank Xuan Beast got nearer, he would die without doubt.
He brought in eight Green Dwarfs, but five were dead in such a short time. Lu Li’s eyes dimmed down. Somehow, he felt he and Hunchback Tian were really going to die here.
The Green Dwarfs followed Lu Li’s orders completely. The two Green Dwarfs rushed backward one after another. Lu Li continued to run with the help of one Green Dwarf.
After he ran for the time for two incense sticks to burn, Lu Li suddenly felt the space ahead of him lighting up. He was overjoyed. Did he finally make it out of the forest?

Hoy, hoy~


Boom, boom, boom!

Before he got out, Lu Li heard Hunchback Tian’s roar and the explosion sound of his Xuan Energy cutting at stone hills.

There are Xuan Beasts outside?

Lu Li ran madly out. He looked around and soon found Hunchback Tian. After a few glances, all that was on Lu Li’s face was shock.
It was not Xuan Beast that Hunchback Tian was fighting, but four people—four young women in fact.
The four young women were about the same age as him, but they were all at the Soul Pond Realm. The point was that they were so fast, faster than Hunchback Tian, like four ghosting shadows.
That was not even the most important thing. There was a pretty girl of about 11 or 12 years of age standing on a small hill to their left. The little girl didn’t do anything; she just looked indifferently at the battlefield. Lu Li sensed that little girl was also at the Soul Pond Realm!
Unfortunately, what Hunchback Tian said turned true. The Xuan Qi between heaven and earth was profound in this place. The indigenous residents’ strength must be powerful.
The five girls dressed in a strange way. They were wearing sack clothes, and their hair was braided. Their ears seemed to be particularly pointy; evidently, they were the indigenous residents in the small world.
Five indigenous residents, all of them were at the Soul Pond Realm. That girl also reached the Soul Pond Realm even though she was only 11 or 12 years old.
How many powerful warriors were there in this small world? Beyond imagination! Which realm was their most powerful warrior at? Unimaginable as well.

Ha? Several outlanders?

The four young women were engaging in a battle with Hunchback Tian so they didn’t pay attention to Lu Li. The pretty little girl standing on top of the hill saw him though.
Her indifferent face showed some ridicule as she said,
Good timing. The old man is so old that he is going to die. His flesh will not taste good. This one is younger. If we bring him back and cook him, it must be delicious.

Lu Li trembled. Could the indigenous residents here be cannibals?
