Dozens of creatures with long claws came out from the ground, standing at the

  border between Greenland and the forest. The creatures created the barrier so

  Lu An could not pass them. After, more creatures popped from behind as well,

  pinching Lu An and Helia.

  Lu An did not rush to ght his way out of the creatures. He observed the black

  furry creatures around him; they were around one and a half meters tall with

  around fty centimeters long claws, "Otter or ferret?" Lu An muttered in a low

  voice.

  These creatures had the look of a ferret and the long body of the otter. The

  proportion of these creatures' bodies was quite o, especially when they were

  standing. When they opened their mouths, jigsaw-like teeth showed up.

  Lu An activated the [Basic Detection] skill on one of the creatures to see how

  strong these creatures were.

  ———————————


  [Beastmen - Minke]

  Aliation: The Minke Tribe

  Evolution: Stage-8

  Level: 698

  Skill: [Burrow] ???

  ———————————


  Looking at the detection result, he remembered what Miragul had told him

  earlier. The green land was the Minke Tribe's territory, and the creatures in

  front of him were Minke. The fact that the Minke Tribe was around level 600

  and the highest one was level 732 was a relief to Lu An. Meaning the monsters

  on the rst oor were relatively weak.

  'But these Minke are still a threat to the Tarriors,' He thought to himself. The

  average level of the Tarriors was around level 400-ish to level 600-ish. While

  the elf, Moonlight Tribe, and Alton's subordinates were relatively higher in

  level.

  "I will make the way out of the encirclement, and you follow me closely, Helia,"

  Lu An decided to escape instead of ghting the Minke Tribe. Despite their

  overwhelming number, he could ght them all, but there was no benet from

  killing the Minke Tribe. He would rather leave the Minke for the Tarriors to

  ght to level up.

  Using the Shadow Step, Lu An rushed to the Minke in front of him. His right

  hand held the sword while his left hand carried Donald Callahan with him. He

  was not going to leave the man to die this early. Within the next second, Lu An

  appeared in front of Minke. The shadow covered his red sword, and when he

  slashed the sword toward the Minke, the shadow extended forward, cutting ve

  Minke's heads simultaneously.

  In the next second, Lu An had entered the forest area. He did not go deeper into

  the forest as he wanted to see whether The Minke Tribe would follow him into

  the forest. He would lure them into the ideal area for Tarriors to ght them if

  they followed him. However, as he predicted, the Minke Tribe did not dare to

  enter the forest. He could hear the furious hissing from the Minke, but they did

  not dare to enter the forest.

  Lu An shrugged and turned around, continuing walking back to the base. On the

  way back, he did not encounter the people who chased after Revalor, "Did

  Revalor Kill them already?"

  Halfway back to the base, he heard a lot of movement in front of him. Lu An

  remained calm because he knew who was coming. Sure enough, he saw Zhang

  Mengyao lead the main force toward him. The main force meant all of them.

  Zhang Mengyao stopped in front of Lu An and checked the youngster from top

  to bottom. Lu An was like her little brother already, so she was deeply worried

  after hearing from Revalor that Lu An stayed behind to ght against a group of

  over a thousand people, "You okay?"

  "I am ne. They are afraid that the reinforcement will come, so they escaped

  when they realized that they could not kill me," Lu An nodded and reported

  what happened.

  Zhang Mengyao let out a relieved sigh after Arina made an okay gesture toward

  her, indicating Lu And was ne. Then she glanced at the disgured man in Lu

  An's left hand, "Is this the guy who insulted your Brother Shaoyang?"

  Zhang Mengyao had heard what happened from Revalor, the reason why Lu An

  stayed behind. She was glad about Revalor's decisiveness to leave Lu An and

  called the reinforcement immediately. It would be wasting time to convince Lu

  An as she was well aware that Lu An would not leave, especially if it was

  Revalor. He won't listen to the Former Elven King, and Revalor would be just

  wasting his time. She did not blame Revalor for leaving Lu An behind in that

  scenario.

  "Yeah," Lu An nodded with a smile.

  "Better you just kill him. We don't want the Tang Empire's name dirty just

  because we treat this guy inhumanely," Zhang Mengyao furrowed her brow

  upon seeing Donald Callahan's condition.

  "No one will know unless our people spread the rumor," Lu An said while

  scanning the Tarriors, and all of them looked away from Lu An's chilling gaze.

  "But you are right. Just in case someone with a big mouth spreads the rumor, I

  will kill this poor guy," Lu An stabbed the sword into Donald Callahan's skull,

  killing the man instantly.

  "Ah, I also met with the Minke Tribe in the next area. The tribe that controls

  the green land……" Lu An described the Minke to Zhang Mengyao, their

  appearance, and also their power. "We can ask Miragul how strong this Minke

  Tribe is and start to plan to ght them afterward. It would be a good experience

  for our Tarriors too."

  Zhang Mengyao nodded, "Though I doubt this Minke Tribe is good enough for

  our elite Tarriors, we need to ght them sooner or later anyway."

  The Tarriors that joined the expedition were around level 700 to level 800, so

  the Minke Tribe should not be an issue for them. They were the best of the best

  from the Tarrior since the Dimensional Tower was extremely important.

  Revalor brought back the Miragul to Lu An, and it explained what it knew about

  the Minke Tribe, "I think The Minke is attracted to this man's blood; that's why

  they chase and set up an ambush for you, Sir. The Minke has a keen smell, and

  they love blood for sure."

  "I do believe the Minke Tribe's leader has not reached the Epic Rank yet," The

  Miragul added at the end.
