Chapter 331: Withdrawal
Chapter 331: Withdrawal
Li Qian rode on Seven Sons and, through their soul contract, instructed it to make as little noise as possible.
As soon as they flew out of the underground pit, they attracted the attention of others.
Dakali, An Waduo, Piro, Li Yuhu, Ding Ganmao, Wang Guanjun, and Wang Enci all turned to him with questioning looks.
Li Qian didn't immediately respond to their gazes; instead, he quickly recalled Seven Sons and headed straight for the outskirts of the Blackstone Forest.
He quickened his pace and left, saying as he walked, "Everyone, let's leave this place. It's not safe here..."
The other seven heard his words and immediately followed suit. After they had walked for a while, Li Yuhu, who was more impatient, couldn't hold back and asked, "Li Qian, what happened?"
"There are over ten Dominator-rank Rock Giants at the bottom of that pit," Li Qian scanned the surroundings and quickly explained the situation.
Everyone was shocked by his words, their faces filled with disbelief.
Even An Waduo, who was usually tight-lipped and calm, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
Before the group could recover from their shock, Li Qian spoke again, and his next words were even more terrifying, "And I also saw three abnormally large Imperial-rank Rock Giants holding giant rock swords."
"Ten Dominator-rank and three Imperial-rank... How is that possible?" Piro exclaimed in surprise after hearing Li Qian's words.
His first reaction was disbelief, thinking it was impossible, so he asked, "Li Qian, are you sure you're not joking with us?"
Before Li Qian could respond, Dakali suddenly spoke up, "He's not joking!"
His words successfully grabbed everyone's attention, and they all turned to him with questioning looks.
Dakali didn't beat around the bush and directly mentioned an Extraordinary Being he knew, "If I'm not mistaken, the abnormally large Rock Giants with giant rock swords you mentioned should be the Imperial-rank potential Extraordinary Being—the Rock Swordmaster!"
"Rock Swordmaster..." Everyone pondered this term, showing expressions of confusion or surprise.
It was clear that some among them knew about the Rock Swordmaster, while others had no idea.
For example, Li Qian didn't know what a Rock Swordmaster was; otherwise, he would have recognized it at first sight.
During this time, although he had read extensively, there were countless Extraordinary Beings in the world, and it was impossible for him to know them all, so it was normal that he didn't recognize it.
"This Rock Swordmaster is no ordinary being," Dakali explained, seeing that some were unclear about the Rock Swordmaster. "It's an exceptionally powerful Beast with a mutated Earth-type attribute in the Rock attribute."
"Although it's not as fast as the Rock Monster, its attack and defense are top-tier."
"Especially its defense, which is absolutely exceptional among Beasts of the same rank and potential."
"..."
Dakali began to introduce the Rock Swordmaster, and after hearing his explanation, everyone finally understood.
It was also because of Dakali's introduction that they realized why he said Li Qian wasn't joking.
Li Qian didn't know the Rock Swordmaster, and without seeing it firsthand, he wouldn't have been able to describe it.
Since he could describe it, it proved that Li Qian wasn't lying, and he had indeed seen the Rock Giants and the Rock Swordmaster at the bottom of the pit.
This conclusion left them all a bit shocked and surprised, as it was illogical for so many Dominator-rank Beasts to gather in the Blackstone Forest.
After all, the area they were in was not even the core of the Blackstone Forest, let alone the middle circle.
Moreover, even in the core area, it was highly unlikely to encounter Imperial-rank Beasts, let alone three of them.
After their initial shock, they finally understood why Li Qian was in such a hurry to leave.
The group of eight hurried towards the outskirts of the Blackstone Forest. Along the way, Ding Ganmao couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "What exactly happened to you at the bottom of the pit?"
Li Qian had just mentioned it, but he only touched on the key points. They still didn't fully understand the cause and effect of the situation.
As Li Qian walked, he narrated his recent experience, "At the bottom of that pit, there was a passageway..."
It took Li Qian a few minutes to recount his entire experience.
However, he chose to conceal the fact that the Rock Monster evolved into a Rock Giant.
After hearing Li Qian's relatively complete account, the more carefree Li Yuhu spoke up, "That dark red rock must be incredibly valuable."
Li Qian's outings. I wonder what happened."
Li Qian sensed the regret and disappointment in her words and couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
Wang Enci also rolled his eyes and said, "It's a shame we didn't have the chance to get it."
His words were not an exaggeration; facing the dark red rock, any devious thoughts could have led to fatal consequences.
The group rushed forward at high speed. Before long, they reached the edge of the Blackstone Forest.
Upon arriving, their hearts finally calmed down. At this distance, even if something unexpected happened, it was unlikely to affect them.
"What should we do now?" Wang Guanjun asked, seeing that they were about to leave the Blackstone Forest.
Returning now would be a disappointing end to their training. It was no different from their previous dimensional plane training, which felt more like a picnic.
Li Qian sensed a hint of reluctance in Wang Guanjun's tone.
In truth, Li Qian himself also felt a bit helpless and reluctant. After some thought, he spoke up, "Let's change course and head to the Golden Sand Ridge."
"Returning now would be like making a mockery of our training."
Li Qian's suggestion was met with agreement from Ding Ganmao and Wang Enci. Wang Enci said, "I agree with Li Qian. Let's go to the Golden Sand Ridge."
"Otherwise, this training would be no different from a picnic."
Seeing that the three of them on his side had reached a consensus, Li Qian turned his attention to Dakali, who could represent the other four on their side.
Dakali listened to Li Qian's words and fell into deep thought, his eyebrows furrowed in hesitation.
He then discussed the matter with Piro and An Waduo, while Li Yuhu stood alone, feeling a bit lost.
