C25 Jackal

"Are the two guests going hunting for magical beasts again?"

"Yes."

Qin Yuan and Xiao Qi walked down the stairs and out of the inn as soon as the sky turned white.

The two of them were hunting magical beasts outside of the Western Orange Mountain. It was unknown if it was because of the pressure of the first and sixth star magical beasts, but Xiao Qi was the first to break through to the 5-star warrior level last night.

As for Qin Yuan, he was just a few steps away from breaking through.

Accustomed to seeing the two of them in pairs, the waiters at the inn all thought that they were a pair. While chatting privately, they were extremely envious of this couple.

"Hey, Yuan Qing, how about you treat me to a roasted milk pigeon at the Gui Hua Restaurant?" As Xiao Qi spoke, she couldn't help wiping away the drool that was about to come out of the corner of her mouth.

"Sure!" Qin Yuan patted his purse. The sound of gold coins colliding attracted the attention of passers-by. He teased, "I've prepared one hundred gold coins. I'll let you eat your fill!"

Xiao Qi rolled her eyes. "100 gold coins is enough to eat 20 roasted milk pigeons, how can I have such a big appetite?"

"Then who ate three roasted chickens the day before yesterday? "Who was the one who ordered eight dishes yesterday?"

Xiao Qi angrily walked in front, not forgetting to turn around and give Qin Yuan a "hmph."

The smiling Qin Yuan followed closely behind.

In the past few days of hunting magical beasts, the two of them had obtained a lot of materials. Fortunately, they dug out two monster cores and ruthlessly made a profit. Other than buying pills that could strengthen one's spirit and speed up one's cultivation, the remaining gold coins were still quite considerable. That was why Qin Yuan had the confidence to invite Xiao Qi to the Gui Hua House to eat roasted milk pigeons.

The two of them jogged for more than an hour before arriving at the outskirts of the Western Orange Mountain. After slightly adjusting their breathing, they began to search for magical beasts.

After a few days of fumbling, Qin Yuan discovered that the most powerful magical beast outside of the Western Orange Mountain was only a level one stage four star. The Fire Poison Scorpion Tail Crocodile that was a level one stage six star could only stay in the inner circle or even the core area.

Since Xiao Qi had already reached the realm of a 5-star warrior, the security for entering the inner circle was greatly improved. With more than a month left, Qin Yuan did not want to waste any time and decided to start exploring the inner circle today.

According to the information crystal provided by Zuo Qian and the Marquis of the Right, although the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile was a fire-attributed magic beast, it was naturally fond of water. Usually, it would be able to find streams and rivers within a hundred meters of its lair. As such, Qin Yuan did not need to search every inch of the Western Orange Mountain, which was the size of ten Chushi City, he only needed to explore areas that were humid and had rivers and lakes.

Looking at the information crystal, Qin Yuan chose a direction and called Xiao Qi to follow, stepping into the dense forest.

The air was filled with the delicate fragrance of dew and wild flowers. It was summer time, and the Western Orange Mountain was covered with a dazzling splendor. However, danger could be seen everywhere in this beautiful place.

Other than the magical beasts that might be lurking in the lush grass, there were also various poisonous plants and insects. Luckily, Qin Yuan had seen the information crystal and knew that anything could be touched and couldn't be touched.

"It seems like agreeing to participate in the Ranger's Assembly is the right decision …"

Suddenly, Qin Yuan became alert and halted his steps, gesturing for Little Seven to be quiet. After fighting side by side for a few days, Xiao Qi and Qin Yuan had a tacit understanding. They shut their mouths and looked around in search of possible dangers.

Although she was already a 5-star warrior and was one star higher than Qin Yuan, she still believed in Qin Yuan's judgement.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"

A short, thin, sinister-looking man licked his lips as he walked out from the grass in front of him. His gaze swept across Qin Yuan before stopping on Little Seven as he let out a "hehe" laugh.

It was the jackal!

Xiao Qi felt goosebumps from the jackal's gaze. She vaguely felt that this person was very dangerous!

"Who are you?" Squatting on the grass is not something a gentleman should do. " Qin Yuan was on guard, but he appeared to be relaxed on the surface.

After being asked by Qin Yuan, the jackal actually answered honestly: "I don't have a name, you can call me jackal! I am here to stop you from killing the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile! "

Qin Yuan was stunned. He did not even ask for the other party's purpose before the other party took the initiative to report in. Glancing at Xiao Qi beside him, Qin Yuan thought to himself, This jackal is even more honest than Xiao Qi!

Originally, the wolf jackal had planned to stop or steal the heart when Qin Yuan found the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile according to Qin Jue's instructions. However, after observing for a few days, the wolf jackal discovered that Qin Yuan's speed of improvement had exceeded his expectations.

If this continued, coupled with the fact that Little Seven's strength was not to be underestimated, the jackal was worried that there might be an accident. Just in case, it was best to act in advance. He thought to himself, Qin Jue only asked him not to kill Qin Yuan. Wouldn't it be fine if he made Qin Yuan a cripple?

Qin Jue had not allowed him to kill Qin Yuan. In fact, he had hoped that after Qin Yuan returned empty-handed, he would be personally defeated in front of everyone and then 'accidentally' kill him. If Qin Yuanzhen had been crippled by the wolf and was unable to participate in the Grand Meeting, then Qin Juechen would probably scold the self-assuming smart wolf until his head was drenched in dog blood.

From the jackal's reply, Qin Yuan had already guessed that the one who had sent the jackal was Qin Jue. However, there were only a few people who knew that he had come to the Western Orange Mountain to kill the Flaming Scorpion Tail Crocodile, and almost all of them could be trusted.

"Li Qingzhi?" Also, his mother's maidservant was suspected … However, we should still talk about it after we pass this stage! "

"Buzz!" The jackal's body emitted a faint red aura that was filled with the smell of blood.

Qin Yuan and Xiao Qi's pupils constricted at the same time. The jackal was actually a Six Star Warrior!

"This is troublesome!" This kind of person has experienced countless life and death battles. Even if he cultivates the lowest level of martial arts techniques and techniques, he is still stronger than ordinary warriors of the same level, and his combat experience is not something that we can compare with … " Qin Yuan forcefully suppressed the anxiety in his heart. His brain worked at lightning speed as he pondered on how to escape.

The jackal would not wait for Qin Yuan to think it through before he made his move. He circulated his Astral Energy and rushed over with a mad howl.

"Little Seven!"

At the same time, he channeled his blade-attribute astral qi to prepare his defenses. Xiao Qi also channeled her Ice Vein Aura and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yuan.

Just as Qin Yuan had expected, the finger of the wolf was much thicker than an ordinary person's. It was a martial practitioner who focused on claw techniques. After approaching Qin Yuan and Xiao Qi, the jackal ignored Xiao Qi and grabbed at Qin Yuan's right shoulder.

"He wants to cripple my right hand? He did not want to kill me! " Although Qin Yuan did not practice claw techniques, he was well versed in the basic moves of all kinds of fist and foot weapons. He instantly guessed the jackal's intention.

Facing an opponent that surpassed him by two stars, Qin Yuan had no choice but to directly use the strongest martial skill he had so far, "Lancang Finger". His move, "Wave Surge", accurately struck the jackal's palm and forced him to retreat.

The jackal looked at his bleeding palm and licked it clean. The excitement in its eyes became even more intense. "I didn't expect you to have mastered such a powerful martial art. Good, very good!"

Qin Yuan's eyebrows twitched. He had just used his full strength and could barely pierce through the jackal's aura, leaving a shallow wound on his palm. If the opponent had wanted to put him to death, he would have already succeeded!
