Martial Master

In the Martial City, located in the central region of the Five Nations in the northwest, the distance to the Da Qi Kingdom is quite far.

To travel there, an ordinary carriage would take too long; without a few months, it wouldn't arrive at all.

Even riding a Flying Lin Blood Eye would at least require ten days to half a month. By then, the re-examination of the Five Nations Competition would have already started, and there would be no way to catch up.

Thus, Qin Chen thought of taking a Flying Beast.

Flying Beasts are extremely fast, covering thousands of miles in a day effortlessly. Most importantly, they can fly over mountains and rivers without detours, which greatly reduces travel time.

The Sunset Mountain Range is the nearest place to the royal capital where Flying Beasts can be found.

Originally, the Blood Claw Green Eagle that Yuan Feng subdued was discovered in this Sunset Mountain Range.

However, since it was Qin Chen's first time entering the Sunset Mountain Range, he didn't know where to find a faster Flying Beast, so he moved deep into the Sunset Mountain Range.

Swish swish swish!

In such primitive jungles with towering ancient trees, an ordinary martial artist would surely get lost immediately if they entered for the first time without a guide and would become completely trapped, unable to escape.

However, even though it was Qin Chen's first visit, he felt completely at ease, as if walking in his own backyard, relaxed and carefree.

About half a day later, Qin Chen had already reached the most core area of the Sunset Mountain Range.

Here, the majority of the Blood Beasts that roamed were second-tier, and occasionally, third-tier Blood Beasts would appear, making it an extremely dangerous place.

Even powerful adventurer teams would be very cautious when coming here.

This should be about right; now, let's start searching seriously.

Qin Chen sensed the occasional aura of Blood Beasts around him and nodded.

Along the way, Qin Chen had seen some Flying Beasts, but he didn't take action.

In fact, although there were many Flying Beasts in the Sunset Mountain Range, finding one that could carry a person and had enough stamina was not easy.

Some Flying Beasts were fast but couldn't travel long distances due to lack of endurance.

Some Blood Beasts had decent speed and stamina, but their bodies were too small, making it difficult if they carried a person.

Others flew too low, easily attracting natural enemies.

Thus, any Flying Beast was quite precious and could not be easily subdued.

Swish!

In the forest, Qin Chen strolled casually, not in a hurry at all.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few adventurers who showed curiosity upon seeing him alone.

This young brother, this is deep in the Sunset Mountain Range, where dangers abound. Since our team is not large, why not include you? If we achieve anything, we can share it equally, how about that?

Along the way, he encountered a team, among them, a few martial artists with flickering eyes approached him.

Qin Chen showed no intention of stopping and said lightly, Sorry, I have other matters to attend to.

What could be more important than life? Young brother, you must be out for your first experience, right? Coming to such a deep part of the Sunset Mountain Range alone is quite dangerous. Being with us is different; with our strength, killing late-stage Earth Level Blood Beasts is a piece of cake. You can gain experience, share the rewards, and you're not in any life danger. What's not to like?

The leader was a lean man with a scar on his face, appearing very earnest.

Qin Chen sneered and said, Sorry, I'm not interested. Goodbye.

With that, he didn't look back and quickened his pace, swishing into the forest, disappearing among the trees.

Hmph, this kid is quite shrewd, not like someone out for their first experience at all, refusing to agree. The scar-faced man’s expression turned grim, his eyes cold.

Big brother, why waste so much breath on him? I think we should just take action and dispose of him. At such a young age, he seems to have decent cultivation; he must be a disciple from some prominent family. Such people often have considerable value. A single move could allow us to live comfortably for a long time.
