Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1364 – Elder Yu’s Discovery

Lin Yi and Elder Yu were both surprised. It seemed that they really underestimated the strength of the monster. Just now, the monster’s second attack on Elder Yu had obviously been premeditated and it was an attack empowered by rage!

Elder Yu barely escaped death. Lin Yi had a choice to make. He could enter the tomb now that the attention was off him, however, if he did that then, Song Lingshan, Chen Yutian and Yu Xiaoke would all still be on the other side. Lin Yi couldn’t ignore them because if the monster moved his attention to them from Elder Yu, what would they do?

Elder Yu now regretted his actions. He thought that he was being smart when he chose not to be the bait. Him doing the sneak attack would pose little to no danger to him. Who would have thought that the ambush would fail, and he would suffer the consequences!

“Young male thief, come and help!” Elder Yu shouted as he ran. It seemed that this monster was not going to give up until it caught up with Elder Yu.

Lin Yi had to catch up with him. Although Elder Yu was Earth class as well, Lin Yi’s footwork skills were better. It didn’t take long for Lin Yi to pass the monster and catch up to Elder Yu. Elder Yu could only keep screaming as that was the only thing he can do.

Approaching Song Lingshan, Chen Yutian and others in the distance, Lin Yi shouted, “Run, the monster is enraged!”

When Lin Yi passed Yu Xiaoke’s side, he directly clamped her under her arm and ran away with her. As the person with the lowest power level, Yu Xiaoke might not escape unscathed. He wasn’t entirely sure that she could escape so it was better for him to take her along with him.

Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian glanced at Old Hei. Chen Yutian had no choice. They had to carry Old Hei back. Their task this time was to arrest the tomb gang. Now Old Keng, James, and Grandpa Ho were dead. There was only Old Hei remaining, how could they let him die now?

So Chen Yutian could only carry him as he ran. This touched Old Hei’s heart, he thought that they were good people, genuinely nice people. To think that he had thoughts about killing them all. Even at a critical moment, they still thought about others before themselves. This couple of theives were really nice people!

Elder Yu saw that General Weiwu was infront of him, but he was not so kind to run with the dog and instead he cursed, “Dog, don’t block the way!”

The eyes of General Weiwu condensed, but he did not bother with Elder Yu. Instead, he stood in the middle of the passage upright. With his head raised, he charged forward to face the enraged monster!

Lin Yi didn’t bother to command General Weiwu at first because the dog’s running speed was not slow. He could run by himself. However, Lin Yi did not think that he would not run away, but choose to face the enemy head on!

“Roar” The monster roared at the General Weiwu.

“Woof Woof—” The mighty general also barked twice, and his energy emanated from all over his body. This was the power of an early stage Mystic Class.

Under the normal circumstances of General Weiwu would not deliberately release energy. No one would notice that it was cultivated dog. It even slipped through Elder Yu’s eyes. Only when General Weiwu began to show off his mighty power, Elder Yu suddenly discovered that this was actually a Mystic Class dog!

He rubbed his eyes! Is it possible that the male thief kept a spirit hound by his side? Elder Yu wanted to cry, you have a mystic class dog, why didn’t you say so? Elder Yu had already been beaten up severely and was vomiting blood. It was like he had stepped in someone’s trap.

“Doggy, go take out the monster!” Elder Yu ordered General Weiwu.

General Weiwu understood the human language, but it didn’t want to take orders from Elder Yu.

What happened next was the General Weiwu had a desire to conquer. General Weiwu glanced at the monster, with its natural born instinct, it chose to confront the enemy.

Elder Yu stopped running and stood next to General Weiwu. He was able to catch his breath and pointed at General Weiwu, “Why are you playing dumb with me? No more acting for you? Is that right?”

Song Lingshan and Chen Yutian both stopped running, they were way ahead of Lin Yi, but they discovered that their rearguard was in a huge commotion.

“Male thief, as a junior, you had a spirit hound guarding you. Why didn’t you say that earlier? Did you intentionally let this old man get hurt?” It was no surprise as to why Elder Yu would think that way. In his opinion, the male thief was simply getting rid of competition so that there would be one less competitor to the tomb treasures.

“Spirit hound? You said that General Weiwu is a spirit beast?” Lin Yi froze, wondering what Elder Yu had said.

“You have an early stage Mystic class dog at your side. You didn’t want to use it to attack the monster, but you let the old man do a sneak attack. What are you scheming? Are you trying to get me killed?” Elder Yu asked with a grimace on his face. If it weren’t for this dog, Elder Yu wanted to slap Lin Yi so he can have a taste of pain!

“You’re an Earth class master, you couldn’t deal with that monster. And you want to let a Mystic class dog handle it?” Lin Yi asked in a puzzled tone. He also found it a little weird that General Weiwu had blocked the path, but also, the monster had stopped moving!

“Don’t you know?” Elder Yu was also stunned, but then he sneered, “A tomb raider like you wouldn’t know this. It’s such a waste for you to have a spirit hound and not put it to good use!”

“Oh? What do you mean?” Lin Yi really didn’t understand what Elder Yu said. Besides, this was not a spirit beast. This is just an ordinary dog that he had transformed, himself.

“Although there are many different types of spirit beasts, and their abilities are different. There are attack types, healing types, fire abilities, water abilities, etc., but the class division between spirit beasts is determined strictly according to their own levels. That is to say, for them, Mystic class is always greater than Golden class. This is still true even if Golden class is the attacking ability and Mystic class is the healing ability. But the only thing that is absolute is that, when a Mystic class Spirit Beast confronts a Golden class Spirit Beast, then it has to submit! That is the biggest difference between spirit beasts and people! Some people are not as intelligent as animals! ”

Elder Yu’s last sentence seems to hint at something. It was implying that Lin Yi was not as good as a beast. A mere Mystic class master wants to compete against Elder Yu, an Earth class master!

However, although Lin Yi heard it, he did not care about Elder Yu. Lin Yi was shocked by Elder Yu’s expansive knowledge! Before this venture, Lin Yi had never seen a spirit beast, nor did he understand the nature of a spirit beast, but he did not expect that there was such profound knowledge on this subject!

“That is to say, this monster will be subdued by General Weiwu?” Lin Yi was a little excited and surprised. He didn’t expect this when he accidentally brought General Weiwu along with him. He was also grateful for Elder Yu for realising this and explaining it to him!
