Prince Lin Fei laughed out coldly at Lin Xiao's arrogant words and led his men away. His group only consisted of 15 people including him. While he had the advantage in number, there were still some beasts nearby that were fighting his men. This was truly not the best place for him to get into skirmish with Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao also waved his hand to stop the others from fighting. He looked at the leader of the second group and cupped his hand. "Sorry for disturbing you in your hunt."

"Ah, it's nothing." The young man waved his hand. Even though he was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator who was close to breakthrough, he looked much more easy going and looked quite similar to Prince Lin San.

Speaking of Prince Lin San, Lin Xiao noticed the prince had walked in their direction with an odd expression on his face.

"Your Highness?"

"Your surname is Lin?" Prince Lin San asked directly.

Lin Xiao was stunned, and it was then he recalled that he was trying to hide his surname back when he first met with Prince Lin San. The reason why he hid it was simple. Prince Lin San had gathered his dragon power in his eyes, which was used to see past the truth.

The prince had already looked odd when he heard Lin Yun's surname and now that he heard Lin Xiao's real surname, Lin Xiao felt a bit apprehensive.

"That's true."

Prince Lin San looked at Lin Xian for a moment then pointed to the words. "Shall we hunt together?"

"Ah, can you introduce us to your leader first?"

"Oh, this is my second brother, Lin Xian. He's the tenth prince and currently 21 years…"

Bletak!

"I don't think there's any need to reveal my real age to outsider, Lin San." Prince Lin Xian shook his head and looked at Lin Xiao. "I have heard about you before. I didn't know that you're my little brother's acquaintance."

Lin Xiao scratched the back of his head. Well, his meeting with Prince Lin San back then was nothing more than a coincidence. He also didn't expect to meet with this prince again in the future.

Inside Lin Xiao's consciousness, Lin Hu was watching Prince Lin San carefully. 'If necessary, you can summon me out. I'm already at Golden Core Stage and I can eliminate them all cleanly.'

Lin Xiao was speechless at Lin Hu's words. While he knew that he could summon Lin Hu, he had to find a lake first. In this mountainous area, where could he find a lake? The annoying requirement to summon the dragon had become the shackled that prevented him from summoning him ever. 

Tsk that dragon was useless, period.

Lin Hu, who was despised: "…"

It was not like he wanted to be the useless one, but it was simply the requirement. Well, some of those were easier to summon their dragons, but it was just… Lake Dragon was amongst those that was hard to survive in the beginning.

Prince Lin San smiled while rubbing his head that his older brother hit because he revealed the latter's age. "Anyway, there's a small horde of beasts over there. There are only around 30 to 50. Do you want to join us?"

The group where Prince Lin San and his older brother, Prince Lin Xian, were consisted of 12 people in total. If added with Lin Xiao and the rest, they would have 19 people. If it was only a beast horde of 30 to 50 beasts, they should be able to handle it together.

"And the beasts' ear?"

"We'll split evenly."

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. That distribution wouldn't be fair because they have more people. But considering that they have been staying here for longer time, they might have already gathered quite a lot of beasts' ear.

"Alright."

Swish!

Prince Lin Xian was the leader with Lin Xiao and Prince Lin San following from behind and then the others. While the two groups were still wary with each other, they knew that they have to follow their leader in this small collaboration.

They soon find the designated location where there were several boars roaming around. Judging from their number, it was quite a lot. Their strength varied from Beast rank 3 to Beast Rank 4. While Beast Rank 4 would be harder to defeat, the two groups still have some confidence.

At least, they could gang it up if they couldn't beat it alone.

"Let's split up."

"Ok."

Prince Lin Xian and the others took the left side while Lin Xiao and the others took the right side.

"There are two boar rank 4 here. I and Princess Lan Yi Hua will fight one. The other one will be…you can choose two amongst you."

Lin Xiao was still highly unfamiliar with their upgrade of strength since he only visited the Book Pavilion after coming out of the prison. They didn't even spar yet, but he could sense their increase in aura and overall power just from a glance. It was just… he was not sure about their ability.

Lu Jian waved his hand. "Don't me. I'm better at crowd control…"

"Can you do something about your falsetto voice first?" Fan Ling's face turned ugly. In any case, if she had to listen to Lu Jian's singing when she was fighting, she would also want to vomit blood. How unfortunate of them to be unable to block his sound despite Lu Jian didn't target them.

Hearing that, Lu Jian's expression turned odd and he smiled sheepishly. "That's… I'll try to control it so that you can't hear it."

"Alright." Fan Ling pursed her lips and then raised her fan. "In that case, leave that boar to me. If I need help, I'll tell you."

"Ok."

The others already knew that Fan Ling was close to Golden Core Stage. Well, albeit that close still meant a few more years, it was still quite good nevertheless.

"Alright. Since you have decided, the others will fight the others beast rank 3."

"Got it!"

Swish!
