Chapter 805: Berserk Beasts And Inner Demons!
Tang Li Xue's group continued their journey again after Silly Fox wiped out all those robbers who dared to block their way.
Traveling with Wind Riding Birds might not be as fast as flying with their own strength or riding flying treasures, but the Wind Riding Birds could fly several days straight without rest.
Apart from that, they could also save their energy and stamina to deal with any unexpected situation if something untoward happens later.
Tang Li Xue still disliked her Wind Riding Bird's speed a bit, so she decided to ask Instructor Mei Lan: "Instructor Lan, can our Wind Riding Birds evolve to a higher level beast like False Spirit Beast later?"
Instructor Mei Lan lazily replied: "Of course, they can. But I am quite sure that the cost is not something you can afford right now. It would be better for you to just buy a high-grade flying spirit treasure."
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply in greater worry.
Instructor Mei Lan's suggestion might be plausible, but Tang Li Xue was clearly not someone who could just abandon anyone after she used them.
With the help of her system, there was no doubt that Tang Li Xue's growth would definitely be extremely rapid.
She did not need to worry about Little Loki and Yaya at all, since their growth would certainly be on par with her.
However, Wind Riding Bird was completely different from Little Loki and Yaya...
It was not Heaven blessed spirit like Yaya or Phoenix of Pride nor one of the Four Fiend Beasts that could even surpass any mythical beasts like Little Loki.
Her white Wind Riding Bird was fated to never be able to catch up with the growth of Tang Li Xue, Yaya, Phoenix of Pride, and Little Loki from the very start.
Instructor Mei Lan's words might not be nice to hear, but she spoke honestly after considering Tang Li Xue's rapid growth.
No need to mention the white Wind Riding Bird, it was still a big question if Instructor Mei Lan herself, Bingbing, Silly Fox, and the others to be able to keep up with Tang Li Xue's growth in the future.
KWEK~! CHIRP~! CHIRP~!
Tang Li Xue's white Wind Riding Bird quacked and chirped in worry.
Tang Li Xue immediately patted its head gently while saying in a comforting tone: "Don't worry. I will not abandon you. I will find something to help you evolve to a higher-grade beast later, so be more patient, okay?!"
The white Wind Riding Bird happily nodded its head as it flapped its wings more rapidly and flew faster.
A stunningly beautiful gentle smile bloomed on Tang Li Xue as she saw her Wind Riding Bird's cheerful mood.
Little Loki who lay on Tang Li Xue's head shook its tiny furry head in disagreement with Tang Li Xue's meaningless effort, but it did not bother to say anything to ruin their joyous mood.
In Little Loki's opinion, Tang Li Xue might be able to help the Wind Riding Bird once to evolve into a higher-level beast, but she definitely could not help it again and again to keep up with them.
Just like life and death were completely inevitable, the cycle of meeting and parting was also unavoidable.
However, Tang Li Xue did not think that far yet as she secretly decided to help her Wind Riding Bird to at least evolve into False Spirit Beast in the future.
Of course, it would be much better if it could even evolve into True Spirit Beast later.
A few days passed just like that without anything happening.
Their journey could not be said to be really smooth since they kept bumping into robbers and berserk beasts dozens of times every day.
By the way, the berserk beasts were actually bloodthirsty beasts who had completely lost their mind after slaughtering and eating so many people.
Tang Li Xue, Instructor Mei Lan, and the others clearly could not negotiate with those berserk beasts who had completely lost their mind, so they could only put them to eternal rest.
Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox frowned deeply since they really did not want to become like them, so they asked Instructor Mei Lan about how to avoid becoming like them.
Instructor Mei Lan kindly replied to them: "As long as your mind is strong enough to not be affected by anything, then everything will be all right."
Teacher Li Wei added to them: "That is right. The reason for them to lose their mind is not because they kill or eat too many people, but because their mind is not strong enough, so their mind is completely consumed by negative feelings such as bloodthirst."
"Actually, not only beasts, but even humans can also fall into this frenzied state. Many humans who fall into frenzied state also kill everyone close to them and all people they see too just like these berserk beasts."
"Human Race's cultivators usually called it, Inner Demon." Teacher Li Wei concluded his explanation.
Instructor Mei Lan glanced at Tang Li Xue and said: "This is one of the reasons why I threw you to Heartless Cave before. It is for you to hone and strengthen your mind, so you will not be easily affected by negative feelings and become like them."
Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox nodded in understanding.
Tang Li Xue immediately lowered her head and blushed in shame, since she actually used her time in Heartless Cave to create a cheating skill, [Fiery Bright Eyes], instead of honestly honing and strengthening her mind just like Instructor Mei Lan wished for her to do.
After flying non-stop with their Wind Riding Birds these few days, Instructor Mei Lan and Teacher Li Wei decided for them to rest in the nearby town's inn tonight.
After all, they need to let their Wind Riding Birds rest for at least one night after rushing non-stop for a few days straight.
But before they could do it, the lazy Little Loki and sleepy Yaya instantly stood up on Tang Li Xue's head and shoulder, then stared at the certain direction behind their group in a solemn expression.
"What is wrong, you guys? Is there something interesting over there?" Tang Li Xue curiously asked Little Loki and Yaya.
BWOOOOSSHH~!
A huge flying metal boat suddenly appeared right beside them in the sky!
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
Silly Fox: "???!!!"
Both Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox instantly raised their vigilance to the maximum, and they were already prepared to counterattack if the huge flying metal boat dared to attack them first!
"Oh, the exploration team's boat is already catching up with us." Teacher Li Wei muttered while nodding and smiling in satisfaction.
"Eh? What?! So, this ship is the exploration team's boat?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in shock.
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes before replying: "Your cautiousness is too low compared to your two little pets! That warship boat has stealth array, and if it really shot at you from behind, you would have already died without realizing it!"
Tang Li Xue only shrugged her shoulder, but she did not agree with Instructor Mei Lan.
The fatal blow protections of her [Sun and Moon Aegis] had finished its cooldown long ago, so she definitely would not die unless that warship boat could shoot her at least eight times in an instant.
Oh, right... She almost forgot that she also had protection from her two [Substitute Dolls], so she would only get teleported to a random location if she got killed.
Teacher Li Wei led Tang Li Xue and the others to land their Wind Riding Birds on the warship boat after the transparent golden barrier that covered the entire boat turned off.
Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox who had never seen such an impressive and sophisticated warship boat keep staring at it in awe.
"Stealth array, barrier protection array... Woah, there should be many more advanced arrays engraved inside this warship boat~! I want to see them all so badly~!" Tang Li Xue excitedly murmured.
Teacher Li Wei secretly chuckled when he heard Tang Li Xue's excited words.
After they landed their Wind Riding Birds on the warship boat's deck, a group of foxes in their human form immediately greeted them: "Hahaha, Young Master Li Wei~! We finally catch up with you!"
"Young Master Li Wei, please do not make us worry like this again. The situation outside is very delicate since the war between the Beast Race and the Human Race has intensified lately. Thankfully, nothing happens to you, Young Master Li Wei." A delicate fox lady worriedly muttered to Teacher Li Wei.
Teacher Li Wei laughed while replying to them nonchalantly: "All right, you all are clearly worrying too much. The Human Race's strength in this Lightwind Continent is limited. Even if I meet with several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, I can still easily run away from them."
When Teacher Li Wei and Instructor Mei Lan were busily talking with the exploration team, Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox secretly sneaked away to look around the cool-looking metal warship boat.
