Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Walking Alone (Please Follow)

Six hours ago.

Xu Zhou and Li Ruoxi walked side by side, both with puzzled expressions.

They had been walking for over two hours, yet they hadn’t encountered a single mutant beast!

Originally, Xu Zhou was ranked first, but now his rank had dropped considerably.

"Where are we now?" Xu Zhou glanced around.

They had already walked out of the previous forest and entered a hilly area.

Li Ruoxi took out a map and unfolded it, studying it for a moment.

Soon, she pointed to a location and said, "We are at Dawn Ridge."

"Dawn Ridge?" Xu Zhou was a bit surprised. "I remember this place is less than fifty kilometers from the inner perimeter of the Thousand Demon Cave."

"Strange." Li Ruoxi’s pretty face showed a peculiar expression. "Logically, there should be many First Grade mutant beasts here."

Dawn Ridge is vast, encompassing numerous mountain ranges, stretching for hundreds of miles. Once out of Dawn Ridge, you reach the inner perimeter of the Thousand Demon Cave.

In such a borderline area between the inner and outer perimeters, there are usually quite a few First Grade mutant beasts.

But now, they hadn’t seen a single one.

At this moment, Li Ruoxi seemed to remember something, her pretty face changing slightly: "It’s possible there are Second Grade mutant beasts here."

"We need to head back!"

With that, she immediately turned and dashed in the direction they came from.

Xu Zhou hurriedly followed.

They still had confidence in dealing with mutant beasts below the First Grade Level 4.

Second Grade mutant beasts?

That’s equivalent to a Second Grade Martial Artist, a whole realm of difference!

If encountered, the only option was to run.

"Shouldn’t Second Grade appear only inside the Thousand Demon Cave?" Xu Zhou caught up with her, asking puzzledly.

"The Thousand Demon Cave opens once every five years, some First Grade mutant beasts might have advanced," Li Ruoxi quickly explained. "Once a mutant beast reaches Second Grade or higher, it develops a strong territorial instinct and will drive away other mutant beasts."

Xu Zhou suddenly understood, his face growing solemn.

So, there might really be Second Grade mutant beasts nearby?

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a fierce whistling sound swept through the air.

"Be careful!" Li Ruoxi shouted gracefully, swinging her sword backward.

"Boom!"

A tangible golden light collided with Li Ruoxi, and the next second, her delicate body was sent flying, crashing into a nearby big tree.

Immediately afterwards, a majestic golden giant lion appeared where she had been standing.

Xu Zhou’s face slightly changed. The opponent didn’t come at him but launched a fierce attack on Li Ruoxi from the start.

This golden giant lion was three meters tall and seven meters long.

Its golden mane looked like burning flames, swaying in the wind, standing proudly as if it were an invincible king, exuding an overwhelming aura.

Second Grade mutant beast, the Golden Giant Lion! _{freewёbnoνel.com}

At this moment, the Golden Giant Lion glanced at Xu Zhou, a touch of contempt flashing in its enormous eyes.

"Swoosh!"

The next instant, it struck again, like a golden lightning bolt, at a mind-boggling speed!

Xu Zhou rapidly retreated, but his speed was far from enough, and he was quickly caught.

"Kill!" Xu Zhou roared, swinging his saber.

The long saber drew a bloody arc, clashing with the Golden Lion.

Clang!!

Xu Zhou only felt as if he had been hit by a heavy truck, his entire body’s bones resonating loudly, nearly shattering.

He was blasted backward.

"Buzz!"

Behind, an incredibly dazzling sword light appeared.

The sword light resembled a giant wave, carrying the most violent Qi-Blood force, crashing toward the Golden Giant Lion.

Li Ruoxi’s Giant Wave Sword Technique!

She dashed over, shouting, "Split up and run, rendezvous at the Dawn Ridge entrance!"

Xu Zhou nodded, not hesitating, slicing again at the Golden Lion.

Using all his Qi-Blood, he unleashed the third level of the Mountain Breaking Saber Technique to block the Golden Lion’s path!

Afterward, Xu Zhou didn’t look back, exploding back at full speed.

Neither he nor Li Ruoxi, nor anyone on the outskirts of the Thousand Demon Cave, could face this Golden Giant Lion.

Second Grade mutant beasts are far beyond high school students’ ability to handle!

...

Xu Zhou pushed his Cloud Steps to the limit, his steps like phantoms, quickly running toward the outskirts of Dawn Ridge.

However, the Golden Lion didn’t chase him but went after Li Ruoxi instead.

It seemed as if, to it, Li Ruoxi was a tastier catch.
