As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was slightly stunned.
The Xiao Yi Xian was the same, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Yi behind her.
After all, such young Dou Master experts were rare even throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.
In a small place like Qingshan Town, which was not even as good as Wutan City, strength above a Five-Star Dou Zhe was enough to earn the respect of others.
What's more, Xiao Yi was a genuine Dou Master at this moment.
It was no wonder that the people present reacted this way.
"Everyone, I wonder if I am qualified to go up the mountain to gather herbs with the Xiao Yi Xian..."
Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back and spoke softly.
His words were not a question, but an announcement.
The man who was knocked down by Xiao Yi felt that he had lost Face, after all, being knocked down so easily in front of so many people.
The man's name was Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Naturally, he was unwilling to lose Face in front of the Xiao Yi Xian.
"Brat, so what if you are a Dou Master..."
"You just stepped into the Dou Master rank, but my father is a Two-Star Dou Shi expert! Killing you would be a trivial matter!"
Mu Li slowly got up, dusted off his clothes, and without hesitation, immediately brought up his Two-Star Dou Shi father, hoping to intimidate Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi finally turned around slowly, looking at Mu Li with extremely cold eyes and saying: "Two-Star Dou Shi..."
"Then tell me, will your father arrive here first to kill me, or will I kill you, this trash Seven-Star Dou Zhe, first?"
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, although his expression remained calm, his icy words revealed a terrifying killing intent.
Mu Li was usually arrogant and domineering, and having never witnessed such a scene, he was instantly frozen in place.
Seeing this, the Xiao Yi Xian did not want to continue getting entangled here, so she whispered into Xiao Yi's ear:
"Mr. Xiao Yi, don't mind him..."
"Let's hurry up and enter the mountain..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.
Because Xiao Yi knew that given Mu Li's personality, he would absolutely not let the matter rest.
He would definitely seek revenge from his father, Mu She.
At that time, Xiao Yi could deal with them both at once, which would save him a lot of trouble.
After realizing that Xiao Yi was a Dou Master expert, everyone present froze in place.
No one spoke to stop them, they could only watch the backs of the two as they walked toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range...
"Mr. Xiao Yi, I didn't expect you to be a Dou Master expert at such a young age..."
"No wonder you were so confident when you said you would protect my safety..."
"In that case, I'll leave the herb gathering today to you, Mr. Xiao Yi..."
The Xiao Yi Xian spoke softly, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Yi just smiled and nodded: "Then may I ask what kind of herbs the young lady intends to gather on the mountain today?"
The Xiao Yi Xian tucked a strand of dark hair near her temples and said softly:
"When it comes to gathering herbs, there is never a predetermined goal..."
"After all, entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs relies entirely on luck..."
The two continued to chat back and forth like this.
They strolled and chatted as they walked toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
After an unknown amount of time, the two once again stepped into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Stepping into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a dark and gloomy feeling instantly rushed toward them.
Relying on his powerful Soul Power, Xiao Yi instantly sensed a Demonic Beast slowly approaching not far ahead.
Xiao Yi moved incredibly fast, taking a step forward, gently grabbing the Xiao Yi Xian's delicate hand, and with a slight pull, shielded her behind him.
"Be careful..."
Before the Xiao Yi Xian could react, the dragon abyss formation breaking spear had already appeared in Xiao Yi's hand.
The next second, a figure suddenly flashed out from the deep forest not far away.
It was a third-tier Demonic Beast extremely common in the outer perimeter of the Magical Beast Mountain Range: the Red Ice Snake.
The Red Ice Snake originally thought it hadn't been discovered and intended to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Yi and the Xiao Yi Xian.
Little did it know, its strange movements had already been detected by Xiao Yi.
The moment the Red Ice Snake dashed out, the long spear in Xiao Yi's hand stabbed out simultaneously.
Unbeknownst to it, the tip of the spear was already wrapped in Xiao Yi's extremely dense red Qi.
Because the Red Ice Snake possessed the ice attribute, and the Heart Fire condensed by the Cultivation Technique that Xiao Yi cultivated, the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique, was pure Yang fire.
That pure Yang fire was already contained within Xiao Yi's Qi.
Pure Yang fire encountering an ice-attribute Demonic Beast resulted in complete attribute suppression.
Therefore, even though the Red Ice Snake was a third-tier Demonic Beast, whose strength was equivalent to the Great Dou Master level.
What's more, the dragon abyss formation breaking spear in Xiao Yi's hand was personally forged by Xiao Xuan using extraterrestrial profound iron back then, and its power was incomparable to ordinary weapons.
But upon encountering Xiao Yi, it had no choice but to flee.
The long spear in Xiao Yi's hand cut a red streak through the air, stabbing the Red Ice Snake's abdomen with extreme speed.
The Red Ice Snake, feeling intense pain, reacted by immediately trying to escape.
It was seen twisting its body, quickly fleeing into the dense jungle.
"Trying to escape? It's too late..."
A trace of coldness flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear emitted a red light from top to bottom.
Xiao Yi understood the principle of hitting a snake's weak spot (seven inches from the head).
Xiao Yi's figure flickered, and the long spear stabbed steadily and accurately toward the Red Ice Snake's seven-inch weak spot.
A streak of pure fire suddenly ignited at the tip of the dragon abyss formation breaking spear.
It instantly incinerated the Red Ice Snake into ashes.
"What a pity, no beast core dropped..."
Looking at the pile of ashes the Red Ice Snake had become, Xiao Yi inevitably showed a hint of disappointment.
Xiao Yi then returned to the Xiao Yi Xian's side and said softly:
"How are you? You weren't frightened just now, were you..."
At this moment, the Xiao Yi Xian's originally pale cheeks were slightly flushed, and she shook her head upon hearing Xiao Yi speak.
"A third-tier Demonic Beast just died like that?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "It just happened to be restrained by my attributes..."
The Xiao Yi Xian remained silent upon hearing this, simply leading Xiao Yi to continue walking forward.
The two walked in the mountains for an unknown length of time, and they did not encounter any more surprise attacks from Demonic Beasts.
"This is the herb gathering area I often visit..."
"We've walked for so long, Mr. Xiao Yi should take a rest..."
The Xiao Yi Xian pointed ahead and said softly; a slight panting sound could be discerned in her voice.
Xiao Yi looked up and saw that the dark hair on the Xiao Yi Xian's forehead was already damp with sweat.
"Since we've reached the herb gathering area, let's rest together..."
"After all, the herbs are right here, they won't grow legs and run away..."
While speaking softly, Xiao Yi slowly took out a white gauze handkerchief from his chest and gently wiped the sweat beads from the Xiao Yi Xian's Face.
This sudden action left the Xiao Yi Xian momentarily flustered.
However, she didn't turn her head away to avoid him. Only after Xiao Yi finished wiping her Face did she speak softly:
"Mr... Mr. Xiao Yi..."
"You... what are you doing..."
In that instant, a breeze swept past the two of them, blowing the wisps of hair near the Xiao Yi Xian's temples.
This covered the sudden blush that had appeared on the Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks.
But her slightly hot earlobes and accelerated heartbeat still exposed the Xiao Yi Xian's nervousness to Xiao Yi...
