The anxious shouts from the baby fire monkey and unable to sense the location of it even with the help of contract, Henrick felt that the baby fire monkey was in some kind of danger or rather someone was trying to harm it.

'System, find Spark,

​​

Without any choice, he asked the system as it was his last resort to find the location of the baby-fire monkey.

'Ding,

Sorry master, I am unable to help you with this matter. There is some kind of barrier that is obstructing you from sensing the location of the baby-fire monkey.

'What should I do now,'

When he saw the system notification, Henrick was shocked as he didn't know what to do anymore.

'No, this won't help me in finding the little one,'

Soon, Henrick recovered from the shock and chose one of the three routes in front of him and ran towards it hoping that he would find the baby fire monkey.

In front of him there were three routes there were leading to three directions. After thinking for a moment, he picked the route on his left side.

'Eek eek'

Just when he was about to enter the route on the left side, he heard the painful shouts of the baby fire monkey from the middle-route.

'Oh shit. I have to hurry,'

Immediately he changed the direction and rushed towards the middle route.

'Swoosh'

He ran as fast as he could amidst the trees in the middle-route and finally found a small canyon.

Inside the small canyon, he saw a young man who wore orange-coloured robes was trying to slash his sword at the baby fire monkey.

Although the baby fire monkey tried its best to dodge the attacks, he was still unable to completely dodge them which left a cut on its body.

'Why does he want to kill my little one?'

From the uniform, Henrick knew that the young man was an outer sect disciple; however, he didn't understand why he wanted to kill the baby-fire monkey.

'I need to stop him from killing Spark,'

Without any hesitation, he jumped into the small canyon.

'Bounce'

'THud'

However, he was bounced back by some kind of barrier and fell onto the ground.

'What is happening? Why am I unable to enter the canopy?'

Henrick clenched his head as he once again tried to jump into the canopy; however, the same thing repeated as he was bounced back and fell onto the ground.

"I need to do something; otherwise, he will kill Spark for sure,"

Henrick was out of options as he didn't know what to do and closed his eyes for a moment to calm himself.

Because he was too anxious to save the baby-fire monkey, he was unable to think of anything.

'I can do that,'

As soon as he calmed down himself, he found a way to destroy the barrier that was obstructing him from entering the canopy.

'Fire vine seed, come out,'

Without any hesitation, he summoned his fire vine seed from the dantian.

Soon, a red-coloured seed appeared in front of him and hovered in the mid-air as though it was waiting for its orders from Henrick.

"Show me what you got and destroy it," Henrick pointed his finger at the canopy and ordered the fire vine seed.

According to the system, the fire vine seed was the battle companion, so he ordered it to attack the barrier that was obstructing him from entering the canopy.

Just as Henrick finished speaking, the fire vine seed emitted a bright red-coloured light and slammed itself against the barrier.

'Block'

However, the fire vine seed could not destroy the barrier and continued to slam against the barrier.

....

Inside the canopy,

As Henrick was using his fire vine seed to destroy the barrier that was entirely covering the small canopy, the outer sect disciple continued to slash his sword at the baby fire monkey.

"If you didn't form a contract with someone, I would have formed a contract with you, fire monkey; however, it is a pity, you saw me while using my demonic cultivation technique. So, I can't let you live in case you inform about me to your master,"

While swinging his sword the outer sect disciple showed a hint of pity towards the baby fire monkey.

The outer sect disciple was surprised to see a baby fire monkey become a rank 1 beast and what's more, it learned a skill which was powerful enough to injure a stage 1 body cleansing realm cultivator.

So, he wanted to form a contract with it and make it as a tamed beast; however, he was able to sense that the baby fire monkey already belonged to someone. Thus, he decided to kill it and cover his identity as a demonic cultivator.

'Swosh'

But the baby fire monkey had fast reactive speed which made him unable to kill it in a single strike.

'I need to kill it at any cost; otherwise, I will be in a huge trouble,' That outer sect disciple swore to kill the bay fire monkey to cover his identity.

That's right!

From ancient times, the demonic cultivators were considered the evilest cultivators in the human race. Because they use human sacrifices to increase their cultivation. They don't even hesitate to kill their own family members to increase their cultivations.

So, they were generally hated for their evil means of increasing their cultivation.

Since the baby fire monkey unknowingly appeared in front of him while he was cultivating a demonic technique, he decided to kill it.

"No matter, how many times you dodge my attacks, there is no way you can escape from the canopy as I already blocked it with a barrier...Haha,"

The outer sect disciple laughed as he increased his speed of slashing his sword at the baby-fire monkey.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey shouted as loudly as possible to let Henrick know its location.

"It's time to wrap this up,"

Finally, the outer sect disciple disappeared from his place and appeared behind the baby-fire monkey as he revealed an evil smile.
