Chapter 327

His talent improved slightly, but Su Yang could still clearly feel the joy of the Hellblood Vine Flower.

Her loyalty to Su Yang increased again, reaching ninety-six points.

He retracted the Hellblood Vine Flower, chewed through his dried meat, drank half a canteen of water, and climbed into his sleeping bag.

Time passed unnoticed, and before he knew it, Su Yang had spent nearly two months on Mount Yandang.

Calculating the time, Su Yang should probably head back soon.

This trip to Mount Yandang left Su Yang extremely satisfied—his gains far exceeded his expectations.

All his companion beasts had reached Platinum Low-Grade strength, and the Storm Eagle and Hellblood Vine Flower were both close to Platinum Mid-Grade.

Over these two months, Su Yang had grown rapidly and now stood at one point eight meters tall.

It was time to go back.

Sitting on the Storm Eagle's back, he touched the stubble along his lips and felt it prick his fingers.

Su Yang idly pulled a sharp dagger from his space pouch and scraped it a few times across his face—the blade immediately dulled.

As for thickness of skin, Su Yang was likely the unrivaled champion among Platinum-ranked Beast Masters.

He ran his hand over his smooth chin, nodded in satisfaction, and casually tossed the dagger into the sky.

Seven or eight minutes later…

"Ding~ Your companion beast, Earthquake Bear, has slain a Black-Iron Mid-Grade Plague Rat. Experience +10!"

"How unlucky is that? Did you forget to check the almanac before leaving?"

Su Yang turned in surprise toward the rear—before him stretched a vast, white expanse of clouds, obscuring everything.

Returning to Wucheng, Su Yang changed into a clean military uniform and found Zhu Zhu Xiaoshuang.

"Back already?"

"Back already!"

"Why didn't Liu Liu Mengyun come back with you?" Zhu Zhu Xiaoshuang joked. "Did you just bury her under some random hillside?"

"How could that be?" Su Yang replied quickly. "I just gave her a task—hasn't she returned yet?"

Liu Liu Mengyun had been gone for over a month; with the speed of the Black Tiger Eagle, if she hurried, she should have been back by now.
