'Swoosh'

​​

Many figures rushed out of their cultivation abodes. Most of them were the disciples of the outer sect.

Until now, they were increasing their cultivation for the yearly tournament; however, when they heard the bounty on the baby fire monkey, everyone came out of their abodes.

The rewards were much higher than the yearly tournament. So, they wanted to give it a try.

.....

"No….this is bad."

Just like others, Nick and Paulin also heard the offers of various old cultivators and the moment they heard those voices, they were shocked and worried for the baby fire monkey.

'Crr'

Sensing the worry on his master's face, the armored fire crocodile explained something through the voice transmission.

'What? Is it for real?'

When he heard Croc's words, Nick was shocked.

"What happened, Nick?"

Lina, who was beside him, asked him about his shocked look on his face.

"Are you able to notice the cultivation of my tamed beast?"

Nick came out of his shock and asked Lina a question.

"Huh? No."

Lina raised her brows and while looking at the armored fire crocodile, she shook her head.

"Do you believe me if I say my tamed beast is peak stage rank 3?"

"What?"

When Nick asked another question, Lina became shocked because just a couple of days back, the armored fire crocodile was at low-stage rank 3.

So, of course, it is not a surprise for her shocked look.

'And according to my tamed beast, the reason for its rapid progress in its strength was because of Spark.'

Since they were under the watchful eyes of many old cultivators, Nick used the voice transmission to talk with Lina as he continued, 'Moreover, Spark entered the rank 4. So, there is no disciple who can catch it in the outer sect.'

By the time, Nick finished his words, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

To catch the baby fire monkey, only disciples came out but not the elders or other older generation cultivators because coming out in person to catch a little beast will destroy their reputation.

Moreover, the sect leader Gamos will also come out of his cultivation abode.

So, they just left the task to catch the baby fire monkey to the outer sect disciples.

'Good good good.'

Even though Lina was shocked by the rapid progress of the baby fire monkey, she felt it was good because at least Spark can protect itself until it reaches the beast mountain.

Once it enters the mountain, it is hard to track it down because there will be many beasts in the beast mountain which will make things difficult for the outer sect disciples.

As for the inner sect disciples, they were not allowed to enter the beast mountain because of the weird personality of the master of the beast mountain.

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

All of a sudden, a few outer sect disciples who excel in speed caught up to the baby fire monkey and surrounded it.

"This little beast must have awakened some speed-skill; otherwise with its low strength how can it run so fast."

"Yes. So, how are we going to share the rewards after submitting it to the elders in the core sect?"

"Just like always. Big brother will get 40 percent where we get 30 percent each."

Just like Nick and Lina, they were unable to sense the exact strength of the baby fire monkey. So, they concluded it will at most have peak-stage rank 2 or low-stage rank 3.

The three outer sect disciples discussed their share for the rewards they would get by submitting the baby fire monkey to some cultivator in the core sect.

That's right!

They have already decided to give this baby fire monkey to the elder of the core sect who promised some good rewards. As for the fear of other elders snatching the baby fire monkey from them, they were not worried much.

Because they will just use the name of that elder from the core sect.

Each sect in Aecrath is classified into three parts. They were the outer sect, Inner sect, and Core sect and each part of the sect had a sect leader.

The sect leader of the core sect is also called as General sect leader and he is the true leader of the entire sect.

Since Casar had other plans and ways to find out about Henrick's whereabouts, he didn't bother about the baby fire monkey.

So, the oldest elder of the blazing inferno sent directly put a bounty on the baby fire monkey and for this reason, the three outer sect disciples were confident that other elders would not bother them.

"Brother, let's catch it immediately and give it to that elder."

"Yes, brother. If other disciples come here, our chances will decrease."

Soon, the two outer sect disciples with peak muscle-strengthening realm cultivation urged their senior brother to catch the baby fire monkey because his cultivation was at level 1 energy condensation realm.

"Right"

The strongest disciple among the three nodded his head as he used his speed to catch the baby fire monkey.

'Eek eek'

For the entire time, Spark stayed calm and it was only less than 100 meters away from entering the beast mountain.

And the reason, it stayed still because it thought of doing something before entering the beast mountain.

'Swoosh'

While the baby fire monkey was waiting for his enemy to attack him, it saw a familiar silhouette rushed towards it at an incredible speed, and within a few seconds, he cut off the hands of the level 1 energy condensation realm.

"If you want to keep hands on it, you have to go through me first."

It was none other than Saer, the one who kicked Henrick into the inheritance building.

Later they became friends after Saer saved Henrick from the demonic cultivator.

At that time, he promised he would do three things for Henrick.

Even though Henrick didn't ask him to save the baby fire monkey, he felt he needed to save it for the mistake he made in the past.

'Aargh'

"Damn it, Saer."

The disciple who lost his hands cursed Saer as he groaned painfully before falling to the ground.

Seeing that some powerful outer sect disciple appeared, the other disciples thought of escaping from there because to them life is more valuable than any rewards.

'Swoosh'

'Slash'

'Slash'

However, before they could take a few steps another shadow appeared from the same direction in which Saer came from and slashed the hands of the two disciples.

'Eek eek'

The baby fire monkey was dissatisfied with Saer and Roll and shouted at them.

'Puchi'

'Puchi'

Nevertheless, it pierced its hands into the bodies of those three disciples and started using the blood refining technique.

'What? A demonic technique?'

Saer raised his brows because he didn't like demonic cultivators or demonic techniques and the little beast in front of him dared to use that technique openly without any fear.

"Saer, you colluded with the demonic beast which is using the demonic technique to increase its cultivation technique by absorbing the blood of our fellow disciples."

Soon, a group of disciples in the outer sect robes appeared from the distance and shouted at Saer.

"As the leader of the disciple discipline leader of the outer sect, how can you do this to the sect?"

"It gave you resources."

"It took care of you for the last few months."

"And now you are biting the hand which fed you in the past. Very good."

Soon after the first disciple, all the other disciples behind him started accusing Saer.

There were two reasons they were acting like that.

One, they were afraid to go near the baby fire monkey because they don't know what this demonic beast can do.

Two, the first disciple who accused Saer had some bad blood with Saer and just like Saer, he was a level 3 energy transformation realm cultivator and he had a rich background in the sect.

As for Saer, he was just an orphan with no master or family background in the sect. So, of course, when the time came, everyone chose to support Saer's enemy.

"Idiot, don't add up things. I just found out that this fire monkey can use this skill….."

"Everyone, let's not listen to his bullshit. Let's kill him."

Before Saer could finish his words, Coltan interrupted his words and shouted as loudly as possible.

"Also, whoever kills these two demonic cultivators, I will make sure you get more than 10000 contribution points to each individual who helped me in killing Saer."

Fearing that not everyone will follow his order to kill Saer, Coltan announced a reward that excited all the disciples.

Soon, Saer and Roll were attacked by hundreds of outer sect disciples.

As for the baby fire monkey, it was also attacked by some disciples in the beginning; however, its method of killing terrified the surrounding outer sect disciples.

It will dodge the incoming attacks from the outer sect disciples and absorb the blood into its body and move on to the next target.

Soon, no one dared to attack the baby fire monkey and fully focused on Saer.

'Young master, shall we go all out? At this rate, we will die for sure.'

Roll asked Saer while defending himself from the incoming attack.

'Sigh...once we use our family's secret technique, we will be targeted by the sect.'

Saer replied Roll through the voice transmission while defending himself and injuring others.

'But, young master….'

'We are not powerful enough to go against the sect yet.'

Before Roll could finish his sentence, Saer interrupted him and asked him, 'Let's try our best to survive without relying on my family technique.'
