Left, right, ahead, behind and above, Quin was surrounded by Shriekers in all possible directions, yet there was no fear or worry in his eyes. He was moving lightning fast, delivering punches and kicks to his enemies.

Quin could be compared to a killing machine, as wherever he went, only the lifeless bodies of the Shriekers were left behind. Even though they had a great numerical advantage on him, the strongest one of them had only the strength of the second level of the Qi Culmination sub-stage, and so he could easily overpower them. He only needed to punch a single time to completely destroy his opponent.

Naturally, it did not mean that he could evade every attack the enemy made, and wasn’t left unscathed. Truthfully, the majority of the injuries he received was due to the simple fact that he did not care about them. It was not out of arrogance or ignorance, but from his experience and observation.

He was aware of the strength of these attacks and had also personally experienced them during his previous fights, thus knew that they meant no real danger to him.

Although the Shriekers’ tongues were rather strong and sharp, they could only leave behind surface injuries on him. Furthermore, they healed and vanished in just a matter of moments. True, his energy reserves were also decreasing bit by bit, but it was not something significant. In addition, the most dominant wild energy in the city was the same healing type that the lake emitted. In spite of being exponentially less intensive compared to what you could feel just right next to the lake, it was still there, and Quin’s intake of it had become a lot more efficient during the previous months.

All in all, it meant that he was under no kind of danger, and even if he had to face a group of Shriekers with a lot more members, in the end he would emerge victorious.

Phew, now just a few more is left! He had long lost count of his exact body count, and only knew that there were just a couple of Shriekers remaining, while he was standing there soaked in their blood.

At first, the silver-haired pair were rather occupied with defending themselves, but soon the Shriekers were only concentrating on the bigger threat, namely Quin. This left them without any need to fight and seeing Quin’s unbelievable strength they were standing in one place, clearly shocked and confused.

“Alright, that was the last one of these abominations!,” Quin exclaimed happily. “Are you guys alright? We’ve got a healer back in the wagon.”

They ran to him suddenly, without answering and lifted their hands. Their palms were open and shining with a silver light and they started to move them parallel to his body right away.

Quin thought that they were about to attack him for a moment, but quickly realized that it was not their intention and lowered his guard. As their palms ran across his body, just a couple of centimeters away from actually touching him, he felt a fairly comfortable warm feeling from them.

“Y-You aren’t injured?” the silver-haired man asked with a somewhat confused look, while the woman was standing there with an expressionless face.

“I told you that you don’t have to worry about it,” he said warmly. He found them rather strange, but just at the start of the fight they shielded him despite it injuring them in the process, and then at the end the first thing they did was trying to heal him, so they left quite a good impression of him. “We really don’t have time, so long story short, I’m a body cultivator and so unsurprisingly the capabilities of my body is, well, really good,” he explained with a proud smile and then continued without giving them any chance to speak. “So, you see the wagon behind right? We’re heading to the town center to help the others in repelling the Shriekers, so if you want you can tag along.”

The pair looked at each other for a moment and then turning back to Quin both of them nodded.

“Eizrlkr'n,” the man said nodding and then pointed to the woman. “Sian'rl.” She nodded as well.

“Quin,” he also introduced himself. “I really don’t mean to be rude, but there’s no way I’ll be able to pronounce your names, so sorry about that in advance. Anyways, so are joining us?”

They simply nodded in answer.

“Alright, then I’ll be back shortly with the wagon,” he said and quickly headed to the others.

They were not too far so it also did not take long for him to pull the wagon to the newcomers.

“These two had been fighting the Shriekers when I got here and were doing quite a good job. Fortunately, they decided to join us and they are called Eizr--” he said, but got stuck at the middle of the name. “Well, I think it’s better if they say it.”

They introduced themselves again and Quin was wondering how someone could say words like that so easily.

“How’s your speed?” Quin asked the couple. “You looked quite strong, probably somewhere in the end of the second level of Qi Culmination, if I had to guess, but I couldn’t see your speed. Most people in the wagon are below that and none of them have any elements with a good speed, so the wagon’s already fairly full. So, I think that if you’re fast enough and still have qi reserves you could follow along on foot.”

Quin was trying to say it as politely as he could, as it was indeed the truth. Since the last time another batch of people joined their group, he was seriously worried that the wagon would fall apart, but he did not want to leave anyone behind.

“More fast than air and lots of reserve, no worry,” the man answered, agreeing to Quin’s idea.

He’s speaking a bit strangely, guess they really are not from Ade Lai, he thought. Well, if their speed is better than someone with the air element they’ll be able to keep up, probably. Still, I wonder what kind of element they’ve got... Something that can heal and is also very fast? I don’t think I’ve heard of anything like that, and especially not something that shines like that!

“Alright, then let’s go!” Quin said and with that they set off.

They were advancing fairly quickly for some time thanks to the silver-haired pair joining them. Although Quin could easily overpower any group of Shriekers, these two’s strength was nothing to joke about. While Quin took on the main body of the group, they were killing off the stray ones.

Despite their diligence, their speed was greatly decreased as they neared the town center, only being about two hundred meters away from it. The reason was none other than how by that point there was virtually no space between the various groups of Shriekers, and they created one, big enormous group that reached the town center. It meant that now the entire group, or at least the ones that were still capable, were fighting. Quin was at the vanguard with the two newcomers, while the others fought forming a circle around the carriage.

Quin quickly jumped up to check out the situation ahead of him, but it only made his worry increase. Damn, the entire area is swarmed by them and we even have to watch out to not get ambushed from behind! Then as he turned his gaze around, he was filled complete shock. What the heck are those things?!
