Start a mysterious island

In mid-air, Lin Li was flying at lightning speed, with the air whistling across his cheeks.

In just a moment, he left the prosperity of human civilization behind and began to walk into the desolate land.

Although this area was sparsely populated, after flying for a while, he still saw some caravans traveling between cities.

In order to make a living, these caravans often had to take risks on these dangerous routes.

Lin Li identified the direction of the Hengduan Mountains and flew forward without any delay.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw two extremely ferocious beasts engaging in a fierce battle at the foot of a small hill in front of him.

Lin Li was already accustomed to scenes like fights between strange beasts.

Under normal circumstances, he would be busy on his way and would not need to pay attention to it.

But at this moment, not far from where the strange beasts were fighting, a group of humans were hiding behind a huge rock, trapped in a dilemma.

If they fled rashly at this moment, they would most likely be noticed by the two strange beasts that were fighting fiercely. Once the strange beasts rushed over, everyone's lives would be in danger.

But if they continue to hide behind the boulder, as the battle position of the two strange beasts shifts, they may be affected at any time, their tracks may be exposed, and they will still not be able to escape the claws of the strange beasts in the end.

Lin Li hovered in the air, looking back and forth between the two strange beasts fighting fiercely and the group of trembling humans, thinking in his heart.

"These people have extremely bad luck, yet they seem to be somewhat lucky."

After a little thought, he decided to fly towards the group of people in danger.

At the foot of the mountain, there are towering trees and layers of fallen leaves spread on the ground. After years of accumulation and decay, the soil has become extremely fertile.

If someone walks under the tree, they can clearly smell the unique scent of rotten leaves and soil.

At this moment, a huge pangolin monster and a nimble wild boar monster were fighting fiercely.

Every time the pangolin swings its extremely sharp claws, it can create a strong gust of wind and waves, with terrifying power.

The seemingly fat and clumsy wild boar was actually very agile. Facing the fierce attack of the pangolin, it was always looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

The two ferocious beasts fought back and forth for a long time, but due to their equal strength, it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy fluctuations around the pangolin beast began to surge violently, and then the nails on its claws grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The wild boar monster was extremely alert, and the moment it sensed the enemy's psychic energy fluctuations, it keenly deduced that it was about to face an extremely fierce attack.

Then, it instantly activated its awakened supernatural powers, and a brown light suddenly shone on its body.

At the same time, the soil under its feet seemed to have life, constantly surging and spreading towards its body.

In the blink of an eye, the mud wrapped the wild boar's entire body, turning it into an indestructible thick armor.

A sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the pangolin monster's claws actually detached from its claws, like sharp arrows shot from a bow, shooting towards the wild boar monster's face.

These sharp nails are two meters long. Under the sunlight, their surfaces shine with a faint golden light, like enlarged versions of arrows.

The wild boar monster was well prepared and quickly used its skills to dodge.

Even though it had used its special powers to put on armor for itself, it still felt it was not safe enough, so it chose to avoid the attack with all its might.

However, despite its quick reaction, it was ultimately unable to completely avoid all attacks.

Several nails hit its body hard, instantly piercing through the armor and penetrating deeply into its body, causing it to suffer some minor injuries.

If it had not used its supernatural powers to defend itself in advance, this fierce attack from the pangolin monster would most likely have taken the life of the wild boar monster.

The nails that missed the target continued to fly away without losing momentum, and finally hit a huge rock.

What is shocking is that the seemingly extremely solid boulder was easily shattered like tofu under the powerful impact of the pangolin's claws.

As the boulders shattered, the humans hiding behind them were completely exposed and fled in panic.

The two strange beasts, which were originally fighting fiercely, stopped attacking at the same time the moment they saw humans. Their ferocious gazes turned to the pale-faced humans at the same time.

There were about twenty people in this group. They did not look like an ordinary caravan, but more like bodyguards protecting their employer.

One of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, about 1.80 meters tall. After everyone was exposed, he shouted anxiously, "The monster has discovered us, everyone run!"

After that, everyone quickly divided into four teams according to the pre-made emergency plan and fled in different directions.

The middle-aged man protected his employer and ran desperately towards the dense bushes in the distance.

However, just after they ran a few hundred meters, a wild boar monster quickly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately tightened his weapon and said to his companions, "I will restrain this strange beast, you guys take Prince away quickly."

A guard holding a long sword said in despair, "Brother Chen, there are monsters in other directions too. We can't run away at all!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie hurriedly glanced in other directions and suddenly stood there in a daze.

Originally, I thought that there were only these two strange beasts fighting, and if everyone dispersed and broke out, there would always be a team that would be able to escape by chance.

But what no one expected was that when the time came, other strange beasts would appear.

More than a dozen strange beasts quickly formed an encirclement, completely blocking everyone's escape route.

At this moment, everyone was trapped in one place, unable to escape.

The pangolin monster and the wild boar monster each occupied one side, and the other monsters that appeared should be their younger brothers, who stood guard obediently on the side, staring at everyone ferociously.

Humans are trapped in a desperate situation, and now the two most powerful beasts seem to be discussing how to divide up the "delicacies" in front of them.

Chen Jie was in an extremely heavy mood, and his companions' faces were also filled with despair.

The employer said to the hired guards with full apology, "I am really sorry for causing you to die here with me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately shook his head and said, "Since we have taken your money and are doing this for you, we will not abandon you if something goes wrong.

It's a pity that I haven't had time to spend the reward yet."

Just when everyone was falling into despair and thought they were doomed, a clear and calm voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Just now you were fighting to the death, but now you are so friendly. This change is really big..."

When the strange beasts and humans present heard this, they all raised their heads in astonishment and looked towards the sky.

I saw a figure standing in the air, and the person looked to be only in his early twenties.

The moment the pangolin and wild boar monsters saw Lin Li, the pride and ferocity in their eyes disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by deep fear.

They felt an incomparable strong pressure from Lin Li, which made their hearts tremble as if they were facing an invincible natural enemy.

"roar……"

Immediately afterwards, the roar of beasts was heard, and the pangolin beast and wild boar beast turned around and fled without hesitation.

While running away, they did not forget to call out to their fellow alien beasts who were still in a daze.

The alien beast brothers came to their senses and immediately followed their boss, running away desperately.

Lin Li looked at the fleeing beasts and did not choose to chase them.

After all, the main purpose of his trip was not hunting. Saving these people was the top priority. Besides, he needed to hurry on his way. It would be a waste of time to chase after the fleeing beasts.

Chen Jie and his companions had originally believed that they would die in this wild land today, but they never expected the situation to suddenly reverse. This sudden turn of events was truly unbelievable.

The strange beasts fled at a very fast speed. They mistakenly thought that Lin Li would chase and kill them, so they ran as fast as they could.

In just two or three minutes, it disappeared without a trace.

When Chen Jie and his companions saw that the strange beast had completely disappeared, many of them cried for joy.

The guard holding the machete murmured to himself, "We are saved. I can't believe I am still alive..."

Another guard in grey linen clothes pinched his face hard to make sure this was not a dream. The severe pain made him scream.

Lin Li lowered the flight altitude, looked at the people who were rescued, and spoke.

"Before the sun sets, leave here quickly and find a safe place to settle down..."

Chen Jie clasped his hands together and thanked Lin Li with gratitude, "Master, thank you for saving us. We will never forget your kindness."

Lin Li waved his hand and said calmly, "I have things to do on my way. Don't waste time. Let's get going."

Chen Jie originally wanted to ask for the name and address of his benefactor so that he could repay him in the future, but when he saw Lin Li in such a hurry to get on the road, he swallowed the words back.

Then he hurriedly called his companions and ran away with his employer.

Lin Li looked at the direction where everyone was leaving and frowned slightly.

After a little thought, he followed, came in front of the crowd and stopped them.

Chen Jie was confused and didn't understand why his savior stopped them.

Soon, Lin Li gave an explanation.

He pointed to a bush in the distance and said to everyone, “There is a strange beast hiding in the bush over there. With your strength, it will not be easy to deal with it.

Even if it can be solved, there will definitely be casualties in the end.”

After hearing this, Chen Jie was shocked.

He originally planned to lead everyone to hide in the dense bushes. If it weren't for Lin Li's reminder, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Then which direction should we go?" Chen Jie asked anxiously.

Lin Li raised his hand and pointed to a patch of grass in front of him on the right, saying, "I just came from that side, and there were no strange beasts there.

Once you enter the bushes, keep going forward and don't change direction. This will give you a good chance of leaving this dangerous area."

Chen Jie nodded repeatedly, thanked Lin Li again, and then led everyone to run quickly towards the bushes that Lin Li pointed to.

Lin Li felt relieved to see that everyone followed his advice. After watching them successfully enter the bushes, he turned around and left with peace of mind.

Chen Jie and his group were running hard in the grass. It was extremely hot in the grass, but compared to the previous life-and-death crisis, this heat was nothing.

They kept Lin Li's instructions in mind and always kept moving forward in a straight line.

After more than half an hour of arduous trek, they finally walked out of the bushes.

Suddenly, the view in front of them became clear. One of the team members pointed ahead excitedly and shouted, "Brother Chen, look, there is a stream ahead. We can quench our thirst."

Chen Jie nodded, and everyone immediately ran towards the stream.

Having encountered many dangers before, the water bottles they carried with them had long been empty. It was undoubtedly a great blessing for everyone to have water to replenish at this moment.

When they arrived at the stream, they were surprised to find human footprints.

This discovery gave everyone hope, indicating that someone had been here before and it was relatively safe.

Chen Jie said to his employer with a big smile on his face, "It looks like we have reached a safe place."

The young man, whom the guards called Prince Wang, also responded with a smile, "Yes, thanks to the guidance of that benefactor before, we were able to escape from danger..."

After everyone drank a lot, they filled the kettle.

After a short rest of a few minutes, they continued on their journey.

Although they felt that this place was relatively safe, the previous brush with death had left everyone with lingering fears. Everyone was very cautious and agreed that it would be safer to continue on their journey before dark.

As time passed, when the sun was about to set, Chen Jie and his group encountered a large caravan.

This caravan is accompanied by many guards, and traveling with such a caravan greatly increases the safety factor.

Everyone could finally relax and rest. They cleared a piece of land, collected some dry wood nearby, and lit a bonfire.

In the evening, the temperature gradually dropped, and everyone sat around the campfire, feeling the warmth from the flames, their hearts filled with gratitude for having survived the disaster.

At this time, Chen Jie and his group began to recall the dangers they had encountered before, and everyone started chatting with each other.

Some people speculated about the identity of the savior, and some said it might be a cultivation genius from a big family in Shuanghe City.

But as soon as this speculation was put forward, it was opposed by many people.

Everyone felt that such a young and powerful cultivation genius was extremely rare even in the prosperous imperial capital. Shuanghe City was just a small place and it was unlikely that such a person would appear.
