Noon in the middle of the green valley...

BAAAAAAM!

Tang Li Xue rolled to her right side to dodge the brown squirrel's tail attack!

[Species: Wood Eater Squirrel]

[Grade: Uncommon]

[Level: 17]

[HP: 11,145/14,400]

'Sigh... What a troublesome opponent! If I use my Flame of Pride, I certainly can kill it in an instant but it would also mean I would not have anything to eat for today!'

Tang Li Xue's Flame of Pride had grown out far more powerful compared to the first time she obtained it thanks to countless [Seven Elemental Flower] it consumed before and the [Crimson Phoenix] chapter from [Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art].

Unfortunately, she could not control her Flame of Pride properly anymore because it grew too powerful now. She felt like a little child trying to control the famous 'Red Hare' horse.

'Sigh... Oh well... It looks like I am back to square one again. Here take my mighty claw and great fang, you ugly beast!'

Tang Li Xue used her [High Jump] skill but she did not jump upward but use it to pounce toward the Wood Eater Squirrel!

But Wood Eater Squirrel had already wary of Tang Li Xue, it immediately took its defensive stance, and used its hard long tail as a s.h.i.+eld.

Wood Eater Squirrel's tail was harder than even steel because most of its essence and power focused on its tail just like Tang Li Xue's claws and fangs.

Tang Li Xue forcefully bit Wood Eater Squirrel's tail and she twisted her body on mid-air like a drill while simultaneously using her [Rip] skill to grip on its tail!

 Of course, her attack was not enough to tear Wood Eater Squirrel's tail off but she planned to use this move to throw Wood Eater Squirrel and it works really well!

BOOOOOM~~!

Wood Eater Squirrel felt very dizzy, the moment its head slammed onto the hard ground.

'Chance! Uwehehehe... I got you, baby!' Tang Li Xue thought as she sunk her sharp fangs into Wood Eater Squirrel's tender neck.

Wood Eater Squirrel's blood splashed out from its neck and its HP dropped rapidly but it still did not gave up and it kept scratching Tang Li Xue using its tiny claws.

-356, -267, -412, -378, -299...

'Dammit! What a tenacious beast! [Golden Body] active!'

When Tang Li Xue activated her [Golden Body], the thin golden layer covered her entire tiny body and her physical defense increased by 50% so the damage from Wood Eater Squirrel reduced by 25%.

(Since if her physical defense increased by 100% it means her physical defense doubled and she would only receive 1/2 physical damage so her current [Golden Body]'s effect only half from this calculation).

Moreover, with [Golden Body] 30% damage reduction's effect, Wood Eater Squirrel claw attack's damage was almost negligible now! Some of it only dealt damage below 100 and it completely nullified by her [Golden Body].

The Wood Eater Squirrel's resistance became weaker and weaker and it stopped moving in less than a minute after Tang Li Xue bit its neck.

Tang Li Xue greedily drank its blood then slowly savored Wood Eater Squirrel's tender meat.

[EXP Gained!]

[EXP Gained!]

[EXP Gained!]

Ding!

[Congratulation! Your cultivation level achieved Rank 3 Qi Condensation Stage! All Stats +200]

'Woah... at last! Level up after one week!'

Yes... counting today, Tang Li Xue already traveled with the fake dragon for one week.

Although the fake dragon's flying speed was very fast but their destination place was very far away so according to the fake dragon, they would need to travel for at least one month to get there.

"Sigh... Little la.s.s, why don't you use your blue flame to kill that little squirrel? Moreover, you took so long to defeat that weakest species even with all your powerful divine abilities! Aihhhh... such a waste of talent! Just one peek and I already knew that you are really lacking fighting experience!" The Red-Eyes Winged Lizard flew down after Tang Li Xue won her fight.

Tang Li Xue rolled her eyes in disdain. She really was too lazy to care about this liar fake dragon.

It said it would become her mount after she released it before but now when they were traveling together, it did not even help her hunting for some higher level beasts or share its prey with her even one bit!

This fake dragon's excuse was very simple. Because it wanted Tang Li Xue to gain more fighting experience and learn how to use all of her abilities in any situation better.

In their journey, this fake dragon kept repeating the same words again and again, ' lacking experience', 'cannot use her divine abilities properly', and 'crude battle style'.

'At least say something useful to help me grow stronger other than complaining non-stop like this!'

However, it was not actually Red-Eyes Winged Lizard's fault or it did not want to teach Tang Li Xue everything it knew but all beasts were like these.

All of them learned their fighting style and how to use all of their abilities according to all their experience and their sharp instinct. That was why the two beasts from the same species did not mean they would have the same fighting style and the same abilities too let alone Red-Eyes Winged Beast and Tang Li Xue from two different species so how could it teach Tang Li Xue its fighting style!

Even though Red-Eyes Winged Lizard could not teach Tang Li Xue but with its sharp battle instinct that already honed for many years, it could easily tell what Tang Li Xue lacking.

However, it was not Tang Li Xue's fault since she was basically only born into this world for more than one month, she was not even two months old yet!

So all of Tang Li Xue's moves in Red-Eyes Winged Lizard were so crude that it pitifully lack everything and full of holes!

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard did not even know where it needs to start so it could only criticize everything about Tang Li Xue!

Like in her battle with Wood Eater Squirrel, she could actually use her flame or that golden barrier to win easily but here she ran here and there then jump, twist, and turn before using the golden barrier in the end after she almost won the battle...

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard did not even know anymore where it would need to criticize because everything seems very wrong since the very start.

Tang Li Xue waved her paw to stop Red-Eyes Winged Lizard from babbling.

After traveling together with Tang Li Xue for one week, the Red-Eyes Winged Lizard could easily understand all of Tang Li Xue's simple gesture now. Of course, it only limited to her simple gesture like now.

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard sighed in disappointment like a caring mother who had a useless naughty child that failed to meet her expectation.

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard held Tang Li Xue's tiny body with its claw and put her on its back.

But after Red-Eyes Winged Lizard flapped its wide wings for a few times to fly and continue their journey, it immediately landed back to the ground.

 'Hm? Fake Dragon, What happened to you? Are you sick or something? Want to defecate or pee-pee?' Tang Li Xue looked at Red-Eyes Winged Lizard curiously.

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard frowned and it slowly explained to Tang Li Xue: "My [Beast King Eyes] saw some suspicious humans fighting against each other... and they bring a beast egg with them! d.a.m.n thieves! How dare they steal the beast egg under this beast lord's eyes?! Unforgivable!"

[Beast King Eyes] was one of Red-Eyes Winged Lizard's divine abilities. It could use this divine ability to peek from the vision of another beast but of course, it cannot use this divine ability to peek if that beast was too far from it.

When in Asura Demon Sect, Red-Eyes Winged Lizard usually used this [Beast King Eyes] divine ability to peek at what happened inside the Asura Demon Sect from inside its cage fortress.

Tang Li Xue rolled her eyes once again. After traveling together for one week, she also managed to find another Red-Eyes Winged Lizard's bad habit.

This fake dragon was actually a genuine busybody if it was something that concerns humans and beasts! However, it never paid any attention if it was only between beasts or only between humans.

"Let's go and check! Then kill all those evil humans and return back the egg!" Red-Eyes Winged Lizard said with a firm tone.

Tang Li Xue waved her paws lazily signaled that the fake dragon could do whatever it wants but as always, she would not do anything to help it.

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard decided to not fly and only ran using its four limbs like a horse but its speed was quite fast and each of its heavy steps made the ground trembling furiously.

 Only in a few seconds, Red-Eyes Winged Lizard managed to find two groups of humans fighting against each other to seize the beast egg!

"YOU ROBBERS, GIVE ME THE EGG OR DIE! FORGET IT JUST DIE FIRST THEN I WILL TAKE THE EGG FROM YOU!" Red-Eyes Winged Lizard shouted out loud shocked all the humans.

Using its speed momentum, Red-Eyes Winged Lizard did not decrease its running speed at all and used its huge heavy solid body to smash every human on its way!

Tens of humans did not have any time to dodge and crushed to meat paste by Red-Eyes Winged Lizard steps, some of them were heavily injured after crashed with Red-Eyes Winged Lizard hard body.

Red-Eyes Winged Lizard stopped running when it reached the center of human crowds. It quickly spun its gigantic hard body and used its long sharp tail to sweep away all the humans on its sight!

 "Little la.s.s! Catch that egg!" Red-Eyes Winged Lizard asked Tang Li Xue.

'What? Me? You... I already told you to not involve me in this, am I?!' Tang Li Xue's expression turned darker and she groaned in displeasure.
