Chapter 40: Entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range

In the study.

"You want to go out for training?" Xiao Zhan looked at his son before him and asked with some surprise.

"Yes! I am a Dou Zhe now, so self-protection shouldn't be a problem. Besides, I'm just going to wander around the periphery of the Magical Beast Mountain Range in Wutan City, nothing will happen. Staying at home can improve strength, but combat experience cannot be improved, so I still have to go out for training," Xiao Yan explained patiently.

"Why not wait until ten! Wouldn't it be better to go out for training then? Or is it because of other reasons? Could it be because of Nalan Yanran?" Xiao Zhan asked with confusion.

"Going out for training in a year might be safer, but how can one grow without experiencing the tempering of real blood and death? I want to go out and wander like my two brothers and return before the adult ceremony. As for Nalan Yanran, I didn't take her to heart at all," Xiao Yan said indifferently.

"Alright! You have always had your own ideas, and I won't stop you. But be more careful, going out is not like being at home, it is full of dangers. And the danger is not just from magical beasts; people are more dangerous than magical beasts. I hope you can keep this in mind to avoid accidents," Xiao Zhan exhorted Xiao Yan.

"Yes! I will definitely keep it in mind," Xiao Yan nodded seriously. Xiao Zhan was right; people were sometimes indeed more dangerous than magical beasts, because magical beasts didn't have so many conspiracies.

"By the way, if the family encounters difficulties in the future, you can go to my room. I left some good things under the bed that can help the family overcome difficulties," Xiao Yan only remembered to tell his father about the pills after walking out of the room, but Xiao Yan didn't say it clearly.

"Hmm? What great strength!" the mercenary uncle said with some surprise.

"Are you talking about me?" Xiao Yan turned around in confusion and pointed to his nose.

"Just based on this strength of yours, I believe you. But why don't you form a team? Even if you are a Dou Zhe, acting alone is still very dangerous," the mercenary uncle advised again.

"Someone is waiting for me inside, thank you for your concern, take this money to buy wine!" Xiao Yan told a lie; if he didn't lie, he would probably have to explain. However, since others reminded him with good intentions, Xiao Yan still had to show something, so he took out a money bag and threw it to this mercenary uncle to buy wine.

"Hehe, I didn't lie to you! I really am a Dou Zhe," Xiao Yan explained again. Although he was a bit impatient, others were well-intentioned after all, so Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't speak harshly.

"Hehe, don't look at me being so young, I am already a Dou Zhe, so I came out for training," Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, thanked these kind people again, and continued to walk inside.

"Nonsense, if I'm not talking about you, who else can I be talking about? Child, hurry home! This is the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it's full of magical beasts inside. If you enter, I guess not even your bones will be left, and you will directly become magical beast feces."

"Hehe! Thank you uncle for the reminder! But I am here for training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range," Xiao Yan thanked him and prepared to enter the mountain range again.

"Hey! Come back quickly! It's dangerous inside!" Some mercenaries saw that Xiao Yan was so young and dared to run toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so they hurriedly tried to stop him.

Xiao Zhan looked at his son who ran out in a panic and wondered: "Isn't it just saying goodbye? Why is the reaction so big?"

Xiao Yan looked at the third low-level storage ring on his hand, a look of pride appearing on the corner of his mouth. Three storage rings! Although they were low-level, even the Xiao Family only had one for his father and one for the Great Elder, and the third one was bought together when Xiao Yan went to the Mittel Auction House to get wild survival supplies a few days ago.

"I recognize him, it seems to be the young master of the Xiao Family in Wutan City," another mercenary said.

"Training? How old are you! You haven't even reached adulthood, right? Whose child are you? Your parents are so cruel, isn't this sending you to your death?" A mercenary heard Xiao Yan's words and didn't quite believe it.

The wild survival things were all prepared, and the medicine to guard against the Jia Lie Clan was also refined. Xiao Yan didn't delay any longer, walked out of the Xiao Family directly, and headed toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Because he was only training for a year, Xiao Yan wouldn't go to the Tagor Desert, so Xiao Yan wouldn't specifically go to Qingshan Town and then enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range from Qingshan Town.

"Wow! I heard Nalan Yanran is a disciple of the Yunlan Sect Master, and her strength has reached three-star Dou Zhe. Xiao Yan was able to defeat her, so how high must his strength be!"

"You child! Why don't you listen to advice!"

"So it's Xiao Yan, the young master of the Xiao Family! But I heard he was canceled by Nalan Yanran of the Yunlan Sect."

At the entrance of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, it was similar to a game Xiao Yan played in his previous life, all shouting to form teams. Because the Magical Beast Mountain Range was extremely dangerous inside, even a first-order magical beast was stronger than an ordinary human Dou Zhe. Moreover, as long as you entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, you wouldn't just encounter one magical beast, and most magical beasts appeared in groups. Only a very few appeared alone, but even if you encountered them, don't be happy, because they were likely some high-level magical beasts.

"Cough, that! It's just going out for training for a year, what's there to say goodbye to! I'm leaving first!" Xiao Yan ran out awkwardly, as if he had been stepped on his tail.

Xiao Yan didn't form a team, because Xiao Yan's physical strength alone was enough to catch up to a first-order magical beast, plus Xiao Yan's own cultivation, fighting one or two first-order magical beasts alone was not a problem. And even if he couldn't beat them, couldn't Xiao Yan run? Without much hesitation, Xiao Yan walked quickly toward the inside of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Hmm, going out for training, aren't you going to say goodbye to Xun Er?" Xiao Zhan blinked his eyes and said quite playfully.

Wutan City was also adjacent to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and Xiao Yan arrived at the entrance of the Magical Beast Mountain Range in only two hours.

"Does anyone recognize this youth?" the mercenary uncle asked the people around him, taking the money bag.

"You don't understand? I heard Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, it was Xiao Yan who canceled the engagement with Nalan Yanran."

A mercenary uncle ran toward Xiao Yan quickly and grabbed Xiao Yan, wanting to pull him back. But Xiao Yan stood still, and he himself stumbled and was pulled forward by Xiao Yan for two steps.

"This child! What good things can you have! It's nothing more than the family fortune you've saved over the years. Also, what difficulties can the family have?" Xiao Zhan shook his head helplessly and didn't take what Xiao Yan said to heart.

"No wonder he dares to come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range for training alone, it turns out he has the confidence!"

Amidst the discussions of these people, Xiao Yan slowly stepped into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a magical place, and a place he had been looking forward to for a long time. But was the Magical Beast Mountain Range really as good as Xiao Yan imagined? Let's wait and see.
