Chapter 636 An Encounter In The Woods


    A month had passed.


    Austin was deep inside the woods.


    The forest, upying a vast area, had several mountains and huge trees which were hundreds of


    meters tall. They could be seen everywhere, totally covering the sky and sun above with their moist


    filling the entire area.


    It was also home to all kinds of diabolic beasts.


    However, even if a tenth-grade diabolic beast would appear, Austin wouldn''t be scared at all. His fast


    progress in his martial arts skills had rendered him powerful against high-level beasts.


    If there were diabolic beasts stronger than tenth-grade ones, Austin could detect their existence with


    his spiritual sense. And he would avoid them instead of wasting his energy and strength fighting with


    them.


    Therefore, Austin hadn''t gotten into any trouble.


    After traveling for a month, he stopped to take a break one day.


    He took out a map, opened it, and studied the route intently. Violet and the gnome crunched down,


    staring at the map with Austin.


    "ording to the route, we''ll arrive at the border of Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom," he said, pointing


    at somewhere on the map.


    After a month''s journey, Austin was finally going to set foot in the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Holy


    Kingdom.


    "Oh? Someone is over there!"


    Austin muttered to himself as he had sensed people approaching with his spiritual sense.


    "Let''s go and join them. I guess they are from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. Perhaps I can get


    some information about the kingdom from them."


    Austin took the lead. He advanced forward through the woods at lightning speed.


    A thick fog enveloped the whole field, making a dozen people stand on their ground, back-to-back,


    alertly studying their surroundings. Demonic beasts reeking with a strong smell of blood emerged and


    dashed towards them.


    Bang! The people released an enormous vital energy force in unison, shattering the beasts into pieces.


    "Those beasts are so annoying!


    Marwell, when will they stop attacking us like this?" one man among the group whined as he wiped the


    blood that sttered on his face.


    He ughtered a demonic beast with one strike.


    "Just focus. We''ll be safe after we get out of here," answered a hunky middle-aged man with arge


    ck sword in his hand.


    When he wielded his sword, it released a destructive power. Any beast who would be hit and make


    contact with the metal would be sted to death.


    Austin sensed that this middle-aged man was the best cultivator among the group as he had reached


    the premium stage of the Sky Realm. Even with a legion of demonic beasts constantly attacking, he


    didn''t show any sign of panic. Instead, he waved his sword and killed them in an instant.


    At this point, they were besieged by a herd of sixth-grade, seventh-grade, and eighth-grade diabolic


    beasts.


    "Good luck, Daddy!" a girl who looked about twelve or thirteen eximed cheerfully as she pped her


    hands.


    She wore light red clothes, standing among the crowd.


    Her young and innocent voice amused the surrounding people. Theyughed heartily as if their


    exhaustion had been driven away by the mere presence and voice of the adorable little girl.


    "Joyce, watch out!"


    Standing beside the little girl, another older girl, pulled and hid her behind immediately.


    She was tall, and the tight clothes enveloping her body showcased her svelte and voluptuous figure.


    Moreover, her aquiline nose made her look slightly arrogant, and her eye-catching features


    distinguished her from other girls.


    "Got it," Joyce replied meekly.


    She stood behind her, sneaking a look at what was going on with her big, bright eyes.


    It was about half an hourter that the demonic beasts were totally executed. The fight finally hade


    to an end.


    With the beasts wholly wiped out, most of the people slumped on the ground. They were breathing


    heavily and they obviously were worn out after a long fight.


    Upon noting the exhaustion on his men'' faces, the hunky middle-aged man who was the n head


    shook his head. He narrowed his eyes as his gaze fell on the misty area before him. He opened his


    mouth, and sternly asked in a ring voice, "Who is over there?"


    His shouting made those who were sitting on the ground jump to their feet. They grabbed their


    weapons tightly, staring at the misty area nervously.


    Under their rmed gazes, a person walked out of the foggy area. He looked at the panic-stricken


    group and smiled friendly at them. Scratching his head, he exined, "Rx, guys. I mean you no


    trouble. I got lost and walked here.


    You must be from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom."


    Those people heaved a sigh of relief as they found the intruder was just ad.


    But the n head fixed his eyes at Austin, not rxing his vignce for he had a feeling that the


    teenager was kind of dangerous.


    "I could tell by your tone that you''re not a local in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom as we are. You''re


    from another ce, aren''t you?"


    the middle-aged man queried, observing Austin discreetly.


    ''I was right. They came from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. Looks like I''ll get there after leaving


    the forest, ''


    Austin thought, relieved that his guess was right.


    "Yes, you''re right," Austin replied with a smile.


    "Sir, I have a favor to ask. I got something to do in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. Now that I met


    you, I hope I can join you so we can head there together.


    Can you tell me something about your hometown? It''s going to be my first time to the Heavenly Dragon


    Holy Kingdom,"


    he continued as if he had already befriended everyone.


    The beautifuldy walked up to them, holding the little girl by the hand. Studying Austin from head to


    toe, she said coldly, "No way. We don''t even know you.


    You better go on your own."


    "Sis, he got lost..." the lovely little girl uttered with sympathy.


    The beautiful girl gave her sister a stare, turned and whispered to the middle-aged man.


    "Dad, we might be attacked at any time. We can''t risk taking a stranger with us."


    Her father remained silent. He stared at Austin, and after a while speaking in a serious tone, "Kid, we


    have messed with some dangerous beings. If you follow us, we might put you in danger. So I advise


    you not to be ourpany.


    But if you don''t mind getting yourself in trouble, you can go with us. We''ll not send you away."


    "Dad!" the man''s elder daughter contradicted, frowning at him.


    She was about to say something, but her father raised his hand in the air and stopped her.


    "Thank you, sir!" Austin eximed, smiling with cupped fists to express his gratitude.


    He had fought with Master Realm masters, so he didn''t think that anything in the forest would pose a


    threat to him.


    Besides, he noticed that the strongest cultivator among the crowd was just at the premium stage of the


    Sky Realm. Whatever they had messed with couldn''t be powerful enough to take his life.


    Upon seeing Austin approaching them, the beautiful girl arched her eyebrows.


    "I''m Austin Lin. It''s very nice meeting you, sir!"


    Austin greeted with a cordial smile as he walked towards the n head.


    The middle-aged man smiled back and gave Austin a nce. He actually contemted for a while


    before allowing Austin, a stranger, to join them.


    ''As far as I have observed, this young man is still young, not even on his twenties. He appeared in this


    forest alone, and he doesn''t look afraid.


    High-level diabolic beasts live here, but he shows no sign of fear. There is only one exnation for this:


    his cultivation base is high.''


    After being the head of a n for years, the middle-aged man had be a keen observer. He


    spected that Austin wasn''t amond who had not learned any martial arts.


    "Nice to meet you, too. I''m Marwell Meng, the head of a small city- Stone City in the Heavenly Dragon


    Holy Kingdom.


    These are my daughters, Michelle and Joyce. The rest are my n members," the middle-aged man


    introduced,ughing heartily.


    The n head was evidently enthusiastic. Austin had formed a reasonable opinion of him as hisst


    name was the same as Evan''s––his best friend.


    "Hello, Marwell," Austin greeted, shing a cheeky smile.


    ''Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom deserved its reputation.


    Even a n head of a small city has reached the premium stage of Sky Realm.

    But in Violet Orchid Empire, the emperor himself is just at the premium stage of Sky Realm, '' he


    remarked inside.


    With augh, Marwell lightly patted Austin''s shoulder and said, "Make yourselffortable, Austin. You


    can have some rest as we''ll be taking a break. I guess we can get out of this forest tomorrow."


    He then turned around and made his way to his men.


    As the middle-aged man walked away, Michelle turned to Austin and warned coldly, "Hump! Dad has a


    kind heart. You better behave yourself or else I''ll end your life."


    The stunning daughter of the n head was evidently hostile to him. However, Austin didn''t give a


    damn about it.


    "I''m so sorry that you lost your way," the endearing little girl said.


    While saying this, she fixed her big, sparkling eyes at Austin.
