Yumie had no choice but to follow Yuki's demand and stayed at the cave, but she was worried about Yuki. She was still worried that Yuki might encounter danger and thinking of that made her heart beat fast, but she still stayed at the cave because she thought if something did bad happen Yuki can probably take care of it and survive, but if Yumie was to join her she will be only a burden to Yuki.
So in the end she stayed at home, not wanting to be a burden to her.
Yuki smiled in satisfaction, she first waited to see what Yumie will do before she leave. In the end, she was satisfied.
If Yumie was to be stubborn and follow her, Yuki will not mind scolding her heavily even if it would pain her and Yumie.
'Good! Later I'll reward you for being obedient.' Yuki thought to herself as she started her journey towards the Lizard Tribe.
Yumie had specifically told her that once she got there, she will find a statue of a dragon indicating that she is in the Lizard Tribe.
After a while Yuki was now on the beautiful lake, she stopped for a bit and drank the water then started her journey again.
About walking normally it took her 1hr before she saw the statue of a dragon on the road, usually, Yuki would run but she didn't because she was still not familiar with this area of the forest so she wanted to memorize the way in and out of this area quickly if she might run into trouble.
When she saw the statue, she was amazed at how tall it is up close. Yumie has only told her that there would be a big statue there, but she didn't specifically tell her that it was going to be massive. The statue was about 10 meters high, it was even bigger than some of the trees that surround it.
Yuki was so amazed by this sight that she didn't realize that there was some lizard sneaking toward her. She had only realized that they were there when she felt some bloodlust from them, so she jumped in the air and attacked them quickly and quietly.
"Moon Slash!"
The bodies of the 5 Lizards that were sneaking up to him got sliced into two, they didn't even have the time to scream and call for help because they were already dead as soon as Yuki had launched her attack and since Yuki's attack was quick they didn't have the time to dodge and died in regret.
"That was close!" Yuki sighed in relief.
After what happened, she now cannot let her guard down when she is in this place. All of the lizards here are at least Savage Beast and even though she is strong there will always be a limit to her strength, like her stamina and her mana.
Even if she has an endless supply of Mana Potion, she didn't want to rely on this as she wanted to save up coins for the Cultivation and Martial Art Skill even if they are still a long way away.
That's why she didn't want to spend on anything that was in the shop even though she was tempted, she restrained herself and chose the long way.
Just as she was thinking, she heard some distant footsteps in the bush so she quickly hid on the top of the tree hiding behind it.
When she was done hiding the Lizards that were coming closer finally came into view.
There were 6 of them, 1 Red, 2 Blue, 2 Green, and 1 Black Lizard.
The Red Lizard was most likely to be their leader since he was in the lead of the group.
Sadly Yuki still can hear what are they talking about since they are still not in their human form, so they were talking in their minds.
The 6 lizards were shocked to see 5 corpses of their comrades lying in their blood with their bodies cut into two. This was a grim sight to them, there was barely any Beast that would want to make an enemy with the Lizard Race, they were known for their ruthlessness.
So almost all of the other Beast races didn't want to offend such a strong race, so they stayed away from them.
There are only a few Beast races that would likely cause trouble for them. They were the Phoenix, Dragon, and Fox Race since they're one of the Strongest Beast Races in the World.
But Dragon Race will probably not do it since they are the junior of the Dragon Race. So they racked their brains to see who will have the nerve to kill some of their comrades in broad daylight and out in public.
Yuki was sad and angry that she cannot hear what they were talking about, but she can only sigh in defeat since she still has a long way to become what she wants to be in this world.
"Sigh... I need to get to Spirit Beast as soon as possible so that I can get my Human form quickly." Yuki had thought to herself.
The Lizard's hearing was keen so they barely heard Yuki's sigh, so they became vigilant quickly and began to look around there to see where the person was hiding.
"How the h*ll did they hear me!?" Yuki cursed herself for being too loud.
The Lizard then began to look around everywhere, not missing any hiding place that the intruder could hide.
"They are extremely observant, they ever heard me sigh. Looks like this will be a hard task indeed." Yuki said to herself.
Yuki gave up on attacking them since there was a high possibility of her losing and even dying at their hands, she didn't want to risk anything to gain nothing so she backed down.
Just as she was about to leave she heard a notification from Fubuki.
