Chapter 26: The Incomparably Fragrant Little Meat Bun

  Watching the two women disappear from view, Lin Fan was completely speechless, thinking to himself that he had offended someone, and it was just catching a few fish to satisfy his hunger, how could this also lead to trouble?

  Helplessly shaking his head, Lin Fan was slightly surprised by the light purple girl's strength, but soon forgot about the two women and didn't have the mood to continue fishing. He returned to the shore, lit a bonfire and started roasting fish.

  Before long, the fragrance of fish wafted around, and Lin Fan's appetite was stirred. He took a few deep breaths, patted his rumbling stomach, and directly picked up the roasted fish from the bonfire to devour it.

  It took Lin Fan a whole hour to finish the roasted fish, and he finally stood up with satisfaction. He looked around and saw only forests and mountains, but no signs of any first-class spiritual beasts, not even a ghostly shadow.

  In fact, Lin Fan did not know that the spiritual beast was very rare on the East Xuan Continent. Otherwise, warriors would not risk their lives to enter the Magic Mountain Range to capture the spiritual beast. As for the spiritual beasts that can be seen everywhere on the mainland, they are actually not real spiritual beasts, but magic beasts with no strength at all.

  Having eaten and drunk enough, Lin Fan immediately left the riverbank to continue exploring the Magic Mountain Range. Humming a tune, he hadn't walked more than a few steps when his ears picked up the sound of pigs oinking, mixed with a hint of angry roaring.

  "Finally found the spiritual beast", hearing the pig's cry, Lin Fan's heart suddenly delighted. Since crossing into the East Xuan Continent, it was still his first time to hear about spiritual beasts. On Earth, spiritual beasts only appeared in fantasy novels. Lin Fan had wondered when he would be able to see with his own eyes the legendary spiritual beast.

  His footsteps quickened, and after three turns and two flashes, Lin Fan finally found his target. In the distance, outside a dark cave, there was a wild boar with a body length of over two meters and a height of one meter. Its entire body was covered in short black bristles, its eyes gleaming like copper bells as it stared fixedly at a strange creature in front of it that couldn't be described.

  Lion head, dog body, snake tail, with a size of about one meter, there are about seven, in a semicircle surrounding the wild boar tightly, both sides seem to be negotiating, during which there seems to be some signs of breakdown, the wild boar constantly roaring towards the sky, as if to vent all the resentment in its heart.

  After nearly half an hour of negotiation, the seven deformed monsters slowly approached the surrounded wild boar, seemingly somewhat fearful of the wild boar. The seven deformed monsters walked very slowly, and even Lin Fan, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help but want to go up and replace them.

  The two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, and even if the seven deformed monsters walked very slowly, they would eventually reach the end. The distance from the wild boar was less than half a meter, and the seven deformed monsters suddenly jumped up, three meters off the ground, like seven launched atomic bombs, unstoppable.

  With a cold glint in his eyes, the wild boar seemed to have completely disregarded the seven deformed monsters, standing motionless outside the cave. In an instant, he turned his body and moved with lightning speed, so fast that even Lin Fan, who was far away, didn't have time to see how the wild boar had done it.

  It was not seen how the wild boar went, but only saw a strange monster going and coming back quickly, its body like a kite with a broken string, heavily smashing to the ground, the ground was even deeply smashed into a deep pit.

  "Senior, Flash Pig seems incredibly powerful, it doesn't seem like a first-grade spiritual beast at all."

  Just as Lin Fan was watching the intense battle, a faint sound of surprise suddenly came from behind another large tree in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, and Lin Fan really didn't expect that there would be someone else in the Mystic Mountain Range, and coincidentally, the newcomer was also watching the distant battle just like himself.

  A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he unfolded the Five Elements Escape Technique, borrowing Lin Fan's shadow to instantly disappear from the spot. About 200 meters away from Lin Fan's position, on a giant tree that pierced the sky, four young men and women were watching the distant battle.

  Three boys and one girl, the girl was wearing a light yellow dress, her looks were okay. Two of the boys were about ten years old, one tall and one short, forming a clear contrast. As for the third boy, he looked much more mature than the other three, at least in his early twenties. Except for the girl, the three boys were all wearing blue school uniforms with the words "Dragon Rise" written on their chests.

  The one who just spoke was the only woman among the four, and the four were originally students of the Dragon Empire Royal Academy. They happened to be on vacation, so they decided to go to the Magic Mountain Range to see if they could catch a spiritual beast, even if it was just a low-level first-grade spiritual beast.

  An older youth named Cain, two youths named Du Ren and Zhou Wen, and the last girl was called He Mei Li. Like Lin Fan, the four of them had been in the Mystic Mountain Range for a whole day without even seeing a ghostly shadow of a spiritual beast. Now that they finally saw eight spiritual beasts, which were actually legendary Flash Boars, how could the four not be excited?

  Kane's face was slightly solemn, and unlike the excitement on the other three people's faces, he said: "If my guess is correct, this Flash Boar is not even a first-class spiritual beast, at least it's a mid-tier second-class spiritual beast."

  Hearing that the Flash Boar fighting alone in the distance was actually a mid-tier second-level spiritual beast, the three people's faces changed instantly. All three of them were well aware of what a mid-tier second-level spiritual beast represented - it could be compared to a mid-level battle master.

  Among the four, except for Cain's cultivation that had just broken through to the Martial Master realm, the remaining three were still struggling in the Martial Warrior realm. Encountering a second-level Spiritual Beast, the legendary Flash Pig, they didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

  He swallowed hard and said, "Kain-senpai, why don't we leave first?" Zhou Wen hadn't finished speaking when Du Ren on the side hastily nodded in agreement, as if not leaving now would mean being eaten by wild boars.

  "It won't do, we've finally managed to get out this time, if we go back empty-handed, wouldn't the people at the academy laugh us to death?"

  As soon as Mei Li heard that the two were preparing to leave, her face suddenly sank, and her voice also revealed a tone of disdain. This time, the four of them entered the Magic Mountain Range, and basically everyone in the Academy knew that if they returned empty-handed, it would be just like Mei Li said - the four of them would probably be laughed to death.

  Kaien was also thinking of retreating, although his cultivation had broken through the war master realm, but encountering a mid-tier second-level spiritual beast was simply seeking death. However, in front of a beauty, men generally would consider their own face and do something they knew they shouldn't do.

  Just as he was about to hear the general, Lin Fan didn't want to listen anymore. He unfolded the Five Elements Escape and headed towards the cave behind the Flash Pig's back. Lin Fan wanted to see what was hidden inside the cave that made a second-level spiritual beast so determined to guard it.

  Through the earth escape, Lin Fan entered the cave without being detected by anyone, whether it was the fierce battle of the Flash Pig or the students of Longteng College who were watching from the sidelines.

  The entire cave is not too large, with a height of only about two meters and a depth of three meters. It's pitch black inside, and the only light comes from a sliver of brightness shining in from outside. The ground is covered with straw, but instead of the expected foul smell, the whole cave emits a faint fragrance, a unique scent that is all its own.

  At first on the earth, Lin Fan had a trip to the countryside to relax his mood. Unintentionally, he saw pigs scattered along both sides of the road, and every few meters, there was a strong stench. So in Lin Fan's understanding, the lair of wild boars must be extremely smelly. But the result made him wide-eyed with wonder.

  It seemed that something was off, although the entire cave was pitch black, but with a hint of brightness from the outside, Lin Fan could still see everything inside the cave clearly.

  Inside the cave, apart from the weeds on the ground, at the deepest point a small meatball was sleeping soundly on top of a thick pile of weeds, occasionally emitting snoring sounds.

  With great curiosity in his heart, Lin Fan strolled towards the depths of the cave, and soon came face to face with a small meatball. As he took a closer look, Lin Fan's eyes widened in surprise, his face filled with astonishment.

  On a clump of withered grass, a small purple pig was sleeping soundly. Its body was only half a meter long and plump, like a little ball. All four hooves were tucked under its belly, and it snored loudly. Even in its sleep, the pig would occasionally drool, leaving behind a trail of saliva that made Lin Fan exclaim "Wow!"

  He crouched down and stretched out his right hand to gently poke the little pig that was sleeping soundly in front of him. For some reason, Lin Fan had taken a liking to this adorable little pig at first sight, and what surprised him even more was that the strange fragrance in the cave was actually coming from the little pig's body.

  Completely ignoring Lin Fan's poke, the little pig turned over and fell asleep again, without even moving an eyelid. I wiped, unexpectedly not paying attention to Young Master Ben.

  Helpless, Lin Fan shook his head. At this moment, he finally knew why the second-level spiritual beast, Flash Pig, was guarding the cave so tightly. It turned out that inside the cave was a lovely little pig. Seeing no treasure, Lin Fan prepared to leave.

  Just then, the little pig that was still sleeping suddenly raised its red nose, fiercely sniffing something, and suddenly opened its two eyes, staring at the human in front of it. With a whoosh, Lin Fan's arms had an extra round and plump little meatball.

  It seems that Lin Fan's body smells good, the little pig snorted a small nose and smelled hard, two black shiny little eyes rolled around, making Lin Fan feel surprised, thinking that this young master's charm is so great that even spiritual beasts can't help themselves.

  Picking up the little pig, Lin Fan said with a smile: "Little meatball, I have an urgent matter to attend to and must leave. You stay here and wait for your mother to come in, be good."

  Lin Fan, who was ready to put down the little pig and leave, suddenly felt that the little meatball refused to leave his arms, just like a three-day-old baby who had found its biological mother, urgently needing maternal care.
