Chapter 40.4

Lin Xiao raised his lips at Yin Ziju. Looking at Yin Ziju stopping Yu Weiwei, he knew what Yin Ziju was thinking and felt happy seeing him in such a situation.

He also turned his body, ready for a sneak attack from Yin Ziju while walking further away.

Yu Weiwei hurriedly chased after them.

Yin Ziju tightened his grasp on his Spiritual Grass. He was forced to act, so don’t blame him! Therefore, he raised his Spiritual Tool and waved it towards Lin Xiao’s back. Suddenly, the ground shook.

Lin Xiao felt it difficult to walk and unstable.

What happened?

Lin Xiao and Ji Quan looked at each other and were both worried. It looked like the movement came from behind. Turning his head to take a look, he saw a big shadow rushing towards them.

Yin Ziju also turned his head back and caught sight of this huge figure. His eyes were wide open.

Yu Weiwei was so frightened that her eyes became red.

Two words flashed in the four people’s hearts– “Magic Beast.”

Observing the earthquakes the beast caused, it looked like its level wasn’t low. And the four of them were extremely small.

Lin Xiao clenched his teeth, and whispered in alarm: “Let’s run!”

Obviously, Lin Xiao didn’t need to say it. The other three people’s speed was also quite fast. Who would have thought that the usual weak looking Yu Weiwei would run that fast, almost like Lin Xiao and Ji Quan.

“Damn it! How can there be such a huge beast in this place!” Lin Xiao shrieked.

Ji Quan held his fists tightly, “I have no idea. Let’s keep on running. If we are late by a step, we will become food for its stomach.”

Lin Xiao was silent and increased his speed.

The one who ran the fastest among them was Yin Ziju. At first, he stood behind the three, but then surpassed them by little.

Lin Xiao stared at Yin Ziju’s back and understood that his cultivation should be more than Xuan stage Low rank. With that speed… Lin Xiao pursed his lips.

They didn’t know why, but the beast behind them slowed down. In this way, the four people got rid of it for some distance, until they couldn’t see it anymore and stopped. Each one of them leaned on a tree and were panting.

“Where did it come from? The heck! The school doesn’t want us to live!!” Yin Ziju’s face looked fierce. The moment he recalled he was about to be eaten by that beast, he felt scared and couldn’t help but curse.

After a while, Ji Quan suggested: “I am afraid that the beast has been provoked by someone.”

“Why do you say that?” Lin Xiao asked.

Ji Quan answered: “Yunqi Academy must not know of the existence of this beast, and even sent us here with ease. That monster’s speed was really fast and its level must be pretty high. If we meet it in the examination, we will only die.”

“That beast must have been hidden here and then incited by someone.”

“Is that person sick!?” Yin Ziju cursed again.

Hearing these words, Lin Xiao guessed something. Being able to incite a magic beast, there should be… only one person. Lin Xiao lowered his eyes, recalling the segment about the examination in the plot, but he could only recall vague pieces… Massaging his temples, Lin Xiao thought that, if he had known earlier that he would be reborn, then he would have carried a copy of ‘Heavenly Firmament Alteration’ with him.

“Then what are we going to do now?” Yu Weiwei shyly asked.

What to do? Dress cold food with salad!
