Leyvi and the group ran away for a while before they decided to stop. They should be far enough from the former peach tree area. Furthermore, they didn't fly above the trees so nobody should see them.
"We were too careless this time.." Leyvi sighed and expressed his thoughts to the ladies.
"That guy almost contacted whoever he was affiliated with and exposed us. Next time, we need to be cautious first when we find treasure, understand?" said Leyvi as he stared at Anda and then Lilian.
Anda nodded while Lilian blushed. Leyvi shook his head. This girl is blushing all day!
Leyvi sighed again. He still felt uncomfortable after taking a person's life. However, he had no choice. If that guy brings reinforcement and starts to hunt them down for the treasure soil, they would be in a more dangerous situation.
His sudden whim to extend his spiritual sense actually managed to help them avoid a disaster.
He recalled when he was chasing after the spy, in that moment of desperation, he was able to rapidly release a huge amount of firepower from his feet, accelerate even further, and close the distance between them in an instant. However, just that alone almost depleted his energy. If there are other enemies around he would be doomed.
After this encounter, Leyvi decided to avoid making enemies as much as possible. It was just too troublesome. When he recalled that he said he would steal a special fire for Anda, dammit, he was too arrogant. He won't say things like that again.
"Ladies, from now on there will be rules in this family while we are traveling. Firstly, avoid getting into conflict as much as possible! Secondly, if conflict is inevitable and could endanger our lives, immediately use our full strength to eliminate the threat. Understand?" Leyvi was serious at this moment. The ladies can only nod in agreement.
"Husband, this is the space bag of that guy." Anda gave Leyvi the space bag that she picked before they left.
Leyvi took the space bag and checked the content. There were only a few spirit stones and some information relating to that guy. Leyvi let out a relieved sigh. Turned out he was just a rogue cultivator. The people he was trying to contact should be some rogue cultivators too. No wonder he was so poor.
Right, he recalled that ever since Mystical Array Valley was destroyed, more rogue cultivators come to the Triad Forest area which Mystical Array Valley used to be in control of. People of his sect met rogue cultivators more frequently around these areas.
After resting for a while, they resumed their travel. Stripey was on Leyvi's shoulder using his ability to grab anything that interested him. Fruits, spirit herbs, and other things kept appearing in his hands, and he would pass it to Leyvi for storage.
Anda and Lilian were walking together. She would from time to time say something good about Leyvi to Lilian, still planting that good husband image in her heart.
Suddenly, Leyvi sensed a demonic beast a kilometer away. A demonic bear entered his range of spiritual sense.
An intermediate-level demonic beast! This demonic bear was equivalent to a Foundation Building cultivator.
"Everyone, get ready! An intermediate-level demonic bear is near us." Leyvi warned everyone.
Lilian wondered how far the range of his spiritual sense was. Her cultivation was already at the peak of the Foundation Building and her spiritual sense limit was at 800 meters but she still didn't notice a demonic bear in her spiritual sense range.
"Miss Lilian, when the demonic bear is near, you will fight it. Anda and I will support you from behind. Can you do it?" Since Elder Vivian wanted her to gain experience outside, Leyvi would let her fight this demonic bear. There should be no problem since she's just a few steps away from the Core Formation realm.
Lilian looked scared but she still nodded. Not long after, a huge demonic bear appeared in their sight. Stripey was already hiding in the spirit beast bag. He was still a low-level demonic after all, and fighting was not his specialty.
When the demonic bear saw them, it immediately charged toward them. The earth trembled with every charge. Trees fell when the demonic bear's aura collided.
Lilian flies up and then shoots a bunch of thorned vines toward the demonic bear. The thorned vines begin to wrap around the huge demonic bear and countless thorns sink into the demonic bear's flesh.
ROOAAARRR!
The demonic bear roared in pain. It tried to slash and bite the thorned vines but more and more vines kept coming. More trees fell as the demonic bear struggled with all its might.
Seeing that the demonic bear was getting weak, Lilian focused more vines on the demonic bear's neck and gave her all to strangle it.
After a while, the demonic bear dropped to the ground. It stopped moving and there was blood everywhere caused by the thorns.
Lilian saw that the demonic bear stopped moving so she went down and came near the demonic bear. Suddenly she heard Leyvi's voice, "Don't lower your guard!" Lilian quickly jumped backward and saw the demonic bear trying to sneak attack her. The demonic bear failed.
ROOOAAR!! It roared out of frustration!
Lilian was surprised that the demonic bear pretended to be dead. Aren't humans the ones who pretend to be dead when they meet a bear? While she was thinking, a shadow went past her toward the demonic bear.
It was Leyvi. He had seen what she could do so it was good enough. He activates his fiery leg and delivers a heel kick to the demonic bear's head.
BOOOMMM!!
A part of the demonic bear's head exploded. It fell to the ground again and died for real this time. The demonic bear was very unlucky this time. Its opponent was someone who excelled in long-range fights. So its power and strength were completely useless.
Leyvi turned back and walked to Lilian. " Miss Lilian, since you are a long-range fighter, next time make sure it really died first before coming near it, okay?" Lilian blushed and nodded.
Since Lilian can control vines she must have a wood element spirit roots. Leyvi assumed. She needs a more lethal way to kill the demonic beast. Strangling the demonic beast took way too long. It's not efficient at all.
"Miss Lilian, strangling a demonic beast is not efficient and fast enough to kill it. If there were many of them, you wouldn't be able to kill any because they won't give you time. So, Miss Lilian needed a move that could instantly kill them!" Leyvi gentlemanly expressed his opinions to Lilian.
It was not that Leyvi was some kind of genius fighter or battle maniac, he just gave his opinions based on how he preferred to do it, instant kill! The faster his enemies die, the better it is for his heart. The stress is just too much to handle. Why do people want to fight for a long time anyway? Leyvi doesn't understand this logic.
Leyvi and Lilian discussed how to kill demonic beasts more efficiently for a few more minutes while Anda kept her spiritual sense up as caution. Her spiritual sense can stretch quite far too, around 700 meters.
Leyvi gentlemanly told Lilian to keep the body of the demonic bear since she was the one who fought it but she declined because her space bag was full of soil. Leyvi chuckled and stored the demonic bear.
Afterward, Leyvi and the party continue to travel northeast. Every time they met an intermediate-level demonic beast, they would take turns to be the main fighter and the rest would support from behind if necessary.
They were not worried about suddenly meeting a high-level demonic beast which is equivalent to a Core Formation expert because it has been a long time since one appeared. Even if a high-level demonic beast appeared, the sects would be noticed, and a team for subjugation would be deployed immediately.
It has been a week since Leyvi's party started traveling and today they encounter a bit trickier situation. They were surrounded by a lot of demonic spiders. By the time Leyvi noticed these demonic spiders entered his spiritual sense's range, countless demonic spiders were coming for them in all directions.
Leyvi frowned, he was not concerned about the low-ranked demonic spiders, but the intermediate-level demonic spider ahead of him. The intermediate-level demonic spider should be the queen of the demonic spiders surrounding them. It was watching their party from its webs connected to several trees.
Leyvi was contemplating how he should insta-kill this queen demonic spider. He was worried that the spider webs all over the trees would hinder his movement and caught him. Maybe they should just run this time. Soon, more and more demonic spiders crawled and got near them.
"Husband, Let me show off this time." Leyvi turned to the owner of the voice, Anda. She was smiling at him.
Without waiting for Leyvi to say anything, "Sleep!" Anda activated her Heavenly Fragrant Harmony Body, a unique scent instantaneously spread to the entire area engulfing every single demonic spider.
And just like that, all of the demonic spiders fell asleep. Countless demonic spiders that were higher fell to the ground. The sounds of the demonic spiders dropping could be heard for a while.
"Sister Lilian, please help me kill all of these low-level demonic spiders. Aim for their heads." Anda requested Lilian with a smile.
