After watching Qin Jun and the others leave, the monsters quickly dispersed, and the tide of beasts was thus dissolved.
"Alright, everyone, you don't need to follow us anymore."
Qin Jun suddenly stopped and turned around, saying that the reason he had been silent all along was because they were all of the human race.
For those who had no grudge against him, Qin Jun was still willing to help. After all, it didn't cost him anything.
"I don't know the young master's name. I am Lan Ruoji. Thank you for saving me," a handsome man in a blue shirt with a long sword at his waist stepped forward and said with a courteous bow. His sunny smile easily evoked a sense of goodwill in people.
Lan Ruoji?
Your parents must have valued you a lot, otherwise they wouldn't have given you that name!
"Qin Jun, it was just a small favor," Qin Jun joked while waving his hand. He didn't hide his identity because his previous life could be considered a disgrace to the royal family. His deeds were mostly sealed by the palace, and only a few people knew how depraved this third prince was.
"Hello, Master Qin. My name is Li Yu, from the Burning Mountain Valley..."
"Master Qin, I'm Wang Yuheng, from the Purple Light Sect..."
"I'm Miao Yidao, thank you for saving me, Master Qin..."
After Lan Ruoji took the lead in introducing himself, the other cultivators spoke up one after another, each one wanting to make friends with Qin Jun.
Qin Jun impatiently waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can all disperse!"
As a group of Qi-refining realm cultivators, he wasn't particularly interested in making friends, especially since he had already broken through to the Foundation Building realm. He had no interest in cultivators weaker than himself.
Moreover, there were two super experts in the Nascent Soul realm standing beside him.
"Hmph! These guys are always hunting the monsters in my territory. I really want to swallow them whole!"
If it weren't for considering Qin Jun as a human, it would have ended these reptiles while running just now.
Qin Jun shook his head and smiled. The group of cultivators, led by Lan Ruoji, quickly dispersed, intimidated by the terrifying power of the Monster King.
Humans and monsters had been enemies for generations. Monsters preyed on humans to obtain the spiritual energy within their flesh and blood, which would accelerate their cultivation speed.
Those who could cultivate spiritual energy were collectively called cultivators. Cultivators killed monsters to obtain their inner cores, which contained the accumulated spiritual energy of the monsters' lives. Not only could it assist in cultivation, but the flesh, tendons, and bones of monsters were also useful for cultivators, such as in crafting magical tools and medicinal materials.
In short, humans and monsters were incompatible.
If it weren't for the mythical system, the Xiong Tian Dog would never have submitted to Qin Jun.
"Young Junior Sister, take care of yourself."
Senior Sister Li whispered to Chang Qianqian, who smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Qin Jun protecting me, he promised to escort me back to the Xuanling Sect."
"Then I can rest assured." Senior Sister Li nodded and left after giving Chang Hao a glance.
Chang Hao was quite famous within the Xuanling Sect, but now, because of the Xiong Tian Dog, he looked extremely disheveled. He stood on the side with his head down, never speaking. Although she was very puzzled, she guessed it had something to do with Qin Jun, so she didn't dare to interfere.
"Alright, let's continue on our way!"
Glancing in the direction Lan Ruoji and the others had left, Qin Jun clapped his hands and said, and naturally, no one objected.
"Xiong Tian Dog, what is the highest rank of monster under your command?"
"I have three fourth-rank monsters, one of which is about to break through to the fifth rank and transform."
"Oh? How about having them serve me?"
"No, they hate humans."
"Tsk!"
As Qin Jun chatted with the Xiong Tian Dog, he continued forward, with Daji and Chang Qianqian following closely behind. Chang Hao trailed at the end. The group headed towards the horizon.
With the Xiong Tian Dog's company, no monsters dared to approach along the way.
While Qin Jun was excited, he also felt a bit regretful. He had wanted to gain experience by killing monsters, but with the Xiong Tian Dog around, he couldn't do so.
Fortunately, he had inquired about the Xiong Tian Dog's attitude. As long as he didn't kill the monsters that had once roamed its territory, it was fine. After all, monsters often killed each other internally, which was a natural law. The weak would only become food for the strong.
After the Xiong Tian Dog joined them, Chang Qianqian became extremely interested in it, constantly circling around it. As for Chang Hao, he had been completely ignored by her. The once amiable and kind Senior Brother now seemed unbearable to her.
Chang Hao had become extremely obedient and no longer argued with Qin Jun. When Qin Jun asked him to chop wood or find water sources, he did so without complaint. It seemed that the Xiong Tian Dog had scared him enough.
The journey was dull, so Qin Jun began to train Daji. Although there was a mythical system, he understood the importance of practical combat experience. He not only hoped that his subordinates would be invincible but also wanted to have supreme power himself. His own strength would provide the greatest sense of security.
Thus, Qin Jun's path of being abused officially began. Chang Hao and Chang Qianqian watched the battles, both shocked by Qin Jun's talent. His combat awareness was excellent, and he rarely made the same mistake twice. Coupled with breaking through to the Foundation Building realm, all his meridians were fully open, and he made considerable progress every day.
Five days passed quickly.
Qin Jun and his group finally saw a town. The Qianyue Kingdom was vast and rich in resources. Although there were only 137 cities, there were many towns. The cities were far apart, and if traveling on foot, it would take a long time to reach them. Qin Jun and his group didn't rush, and a journey that should have taken three days ended up taking five.
"Qingtang City? Once we pass it, we should be close to the Xuanling Sect, right?" Qin Jun asked Chang Qianqian. His memories mainly revolved around the royal capital, and he didn't know much about the geographical environment of the entire Qianyue Kingdom, and he couldn't even remember all the cities.
Chang Qianqian smiled and said, "Yes, after passing through Qingtan City, it will only take another day to get there."
The time when she was captured by Xiahou En made her feel on edge, but fortunately, these days following Qin Jun had eased her nerves quite a bit. Qin Jun, who came from Earth, would occasionally tell some jokes, making Chang Qianqian and Daji laugh often, which only increased Chang Qianqian's fondness for Qin Jun.
"We're finally almost there."
Qin Jun murmured to himself. Once he sent Chang Qianqian back to Xuanling Sect, he would receive a reward and also be able to draw a skill.
Currently, other than the Desert Eagle, Qin Jun's attack methods were quite lacking. Cultivators fought using various spells and martial arts, and he couldn't possibly engage in hand-to-hand combat, could he?
The power of the Desert Eagle was also limited. When encountering agile opponents, they could easily dodge the bullets.
Therefore, Qin Jun was eager to draw an amazing skill!
The group arrived at the city gate. The city wall of Qingtan City was seven to eight meters high, and the city gate was even five meters high and four meters wide. The bustling scene of the city was filled with traffic and people.
Two rows of soldiers stood in front of the city gate. When Qin Jun and the others approached, a soldier stopped them and said, "Four people and a dog, ten copper coins."
You have to pay to enter the city?
Qin Jun couldn't help but frown. The Kingdom of Qianyue didn't have such a rule. At most, they would just check their identities.
Chang Qianqian, on the other hand, was unfazed. She directly took out ten copper coins from her money pouch.
The group entered Qingtan City like this. As soon as they entered, Qin Jun was bumped into by a petite figure.
