Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1363: Ancient Spirit Beast

Chapter 1362 – Ancient Spirit Beast

Slowly, Lin Yi could see a man charging at them- it was Elder Yu!

An Earth class, running faster than a rabbit- one look at him, completely unscratched, and Lin Yi knew that he didn’t even confront whatever this ghost was. This made him look down on him a bit.

Wasn’t he too much of a coward?

In truth, he really was a coward- otherwise, he wouldn’t be threatened by a Mystic like Lin Yi so easily! He was prideful, but also really treasured his life. He had a strong body, but also bent to the strong and bullied the weak!

In front of people that were clearly much weaker, he was completely proud and prided himself on bullying the weak. But as long as the enemy had some level of threat to his life, he would become completely hesitant and didn’t want a direct confrontation.

But if one understood his background, it wasn’t hard to understand- he was the eldest brother of the common house Yu, and his hope, other than pursuing greater heights of martial power, was to bring glory to his common noble house Chu. It was why he entered the hidden house.

He wouldn’t even know just how small and weak he was before entering the hidden house- he saw the number of Earth Class fighters in there, with even a legendary Sky class head... This made him realize that he was a mere ant!

Being able to enter into a hidden house wasn’t anything glorious at all. Here, he could die from anybody! So he started being very careful. He was always worried that he would lose his life without warning. He felt just how small his life was.

An Earth class was the top of the top in the common world, but in the hidden house, his position was no different from those Mystic house servants because he was an outsider! If anything happened to him, getting him killed, the hidden house wouldn’t even blink.

In order to maintain his position here, he had to take the mission the hidden house assigned him to in the common world, even if it were dangerous.

So he was no idiot- once anything threatened his life, he would choose his life as a priority- the mission could go screw itself. As long as he was alive, he would be able to make a comeback. If he died, then it was over for the common noble house Yu, let alone revenge for his third brother and nephew.

So now, after facing an actual threat, a monster! It seemed to only be Golden class late phase peak, but he didn’t dare make any move! This wasn’t a human. You couldn’t use a human standard to rate its strength!

If it was a golden class human, he would mockingly show off and finish him, but this was a monster, a ghost, that was Golden class late phase peak. He didn’t’ even want to touch it. It wasn’t a human! Who knew how they rated their strength systems, he didn’t want to get eaten!

“No way, there’s seriously a ghost?” Xiaoke was shocked as well- it actually came! She was just a girl, and even she was a bit scared now. After all, things were different if one actually appeared in front of you.

“It’s not a ghost, just an animal that looks really weird, it’s probably the tomb guardian you spoke of!” Lin Yi closed his eyes and used the jade space to observe the situation- he wouldn’t be able to see anything in this dim light after all. “Its speed is really fast, a least not slower than Old Hei.”

“What do we do then?” Lingshan subconsciously pulled out a gun, the first time she thought of using it.

“I don’t know, but he’s almost catching up to James...” Lin Yi said.

As expected, a cry came- it was Jame’s voice. He’d been captured by the beast!

“It’s James...” Xiaoke recognized it.

“Yes, it’s over for him, his neck was broken by the beast...” Lin Yi sighed. “So, the bones were from the animal after all.”

The monster stopped chasing the other two and started feasting on James, while Old Hei and Elder Yu ran over, panting...

“Hurry, run, there’s a ghost...” Old Hei couldn’t breathe.

“Elder Yu, you’re an Earth class, can’t you do something to that monster? It’s just a Golden class late phase peak.” Lin Yi looked at him a little mockingly.

“Hmph, you know it’s a monster too- I’m a human, I can’t compare to a monster. Who knows how tough it is? Some monsters that aren’t even Golden class could instant kill an Earth class!” Elder Yu hmphed. “Ignorant child, there are too many things you don’t know. In those ancient sects, even some spirit beasts with a low level of strength are capable of some really powerful abilities- they look like Golden class, but they have some power with extremely high destructive capabilities!”

“Oh?” Lin Yi blinked, not expecting ancient spirit beasts in that world. It was probably similar to what Xiaoke was saying? It must be the same type of creature that protected different things.

Lin Yi understood why Elder Yu wouldn’t confront it anymore- some people really couldn’t be measured using strength level! Like Er Goudan, for example, he seemed like a classless fighter, but he still was able to one-shot Mystics! There wasn’t any logic there!

“So, you’re saying that you’re giving up on the tomb-robbing?” Lin Yi looked at Elder Yu.

“Hmph! While that beast eats James, everyone discusses some plans- we can kill the beast together, or we could leave the tomb?” Elder Yu wasn’t too panicked- he didn’t know if he could fight the monster, but he knew he could run. He was clearly faster.

“I remember someone saying that he would confront any trouble that comes our way if we work together? Wasn’t it you who said that?” Lin Yi said faintly.

“You little brat, that’s all you can do, spout big words. If you think you can handle it, then go do it!” He hmphed.

“If I could do it myself, why would I need you? If this is the case, you can scram now,” Lin Yi felt a bit helpless. Would he leave? Maybe he would come back to reap the rewards after he finally managed to take down the powerful beast.
