Pretending To Be A Boss

Tang's estimation wasn't wrong, and in fact, Tang Xian also felt some trouble, as the creature's speed was simply too fast, even Tang Feiji couldn't keep it contained.

However, thinking of his team's current configuration, he wasn't too worried.

As nightfall cast a hazy veil, strange winds blew from time to time.

Beasts roamed everywhere in the Forest Realm, and Tang Xian discovered that these animals' speeds were not slow. Although there was a great difference from Lei Xiao, they were clearly faster than creatures from other regions.

It was as if creatures with a swift attribute had all gathered in one place.

The scenery of the Forest Realm was monotonous, like a square land divided into a matrix by countless giant trees.

People with a poor sense of direction could easily get lost.

Tang Xian had no such trouble. He followed the scent guidance, slowly making his way to where Lei Xiao resided.

Along the way, many creatures showed intent to attack Tang Xian and Tang, but in the end, they held back.

Tang Xian now was like the master of this forest.

He had no Soul Crystal, yet he could automatically give some creatures the feeling of a "peer."

Qing JiuYu and Bai Mansheng were deceived by this feeling at first.

But now there was a slight change, as after killing many catastrophe-level creatures, Tang Xian's temperament naturally exuded the aura of a "dangerous creature."

This aura was not deliberately shown by Tang Xian, but came from the Eden bloodline.

In this bloodline, he had killed various creatures and, although due to his own bad luck, he had not obtained any skills, he had still accumulated something—

Prestige.

An attribute that had appeared when he first killed the hellhound.

The Tang Xian of today could be considered a demon lord with his hands stained with the blood of myriad beasts.

Along this journey, he had accumulated quite a bit of prestige in various beast subjects.

His actions were normal and casual, but each movement he made intimidated the myriad beasts, already possessing a hint of the style of a beast king.

Yet these changes went unnoticed by Tang Xian himself.

After several hours of exploration, Tang Xian and Tang came to the canopy of a tall giant tree.

The giant tree's size was immense, and in this forest, many creatures hid in burrows, using the fallen branches and leaves of the giant tree for cover.

Tang Xian had noticed many along the way, but he didn't disturb these creatures, just silently walked past them.

Meanwhile, more creatures lived in the hollows of the giant trees.

Lei Xiao was among them.

Following the scent, Tang Xian did not find Lei Xiao's headquarters—presumably, it was in a holy place farther to the Northwest—but he did find a Lei Xiao.

It was currently residing in a tree hollow.

Tang Xian was nearly two hundred meters away from this Lei Xiao. Lei Xiao had yet to sense him, and he was certain this was a Lei Xiao.

Tang had also sensed his former clansman somehow, though not as promptly as Tang Xian.

Tang's reaction was just as Tang Xian had imagined, the fiery desire for revenge in his eyes turned into a sharp glint. But Tang's reaction brought Tang Xian some reassurance:

"Scout, lead the way, do not kill."

Being able to suppress the urge to kill and instead make a more rational decision pleased Tang Xian, making him appreciate his teammate, who, though seemingly dim-witted, was actually highly reliable.

Tang Xian had previously flipped through some books on Li Xiaoyu's bookshelf about anatomy and execution.

It seemed there would be an opportunity to use that knowledge soon, and he nodded, saying:

"I hope Lei Xiao gives Africans some love."
