Chapter 17: A Mysterious Man

To be honest, Adrian didn’t really like Gary’s personality.

It was just that after the past few days of being together, whether Gary treated him as a friend or not, he had developed some friendship with Gary.

Thus, there was no doubt that he was extremely shocked to see Gary in such a state.

Although Gary’s character was a little bad to Adrian, he definitely did not deserve to end up like this!

“Who killed Gary? Get out here right now!” Adrian tightly clenched his fists and stared fearlessly at the ten-foot-tall beast in front of him.

Adrian knew that the human controlling the spiritual beast was nearby. They might be watching them from somewhere. After all, Beast Tamers could not be too far away from their contractual spiritual beasts. Otherwise, the spiritual beasts might lose control.

After a while, there was still no movement in their surroundings, only Adrian’s voice echoing.

Meanwhile, the spiritual beast was licking the blood on the ground with its bloody mouth and gnawing on Gary’s bloody remains.

Suddenly, the spiritual beast seemed to have received an order. It turned its gaze towards Adrian and quickly walked over. Its thick nostrils produced a heavy breath.

Under the bright moonlight, as this massive creature continuously approached him, Adrian finally saw the appearance of the spiritual beast that killed Gary. It was a Fire Demon Lizard, a fire-attribute spiritual beast!

There was no fear in Adrian’s eyes. Instead, he ignored Alice’s obstruction and walked forward step by step. He kept approaching the Fire Demon Lizard and said coldly, “Come out quickly. I know that you’re nearby. Don’t hide like a coward. Don’t think that I’m afraid of your spiritual beast!”

Not long after, a voice rang out from the gloomy forest. There seemed to be a hint of ridicule in the voice. “Young lad, are you really not afraid of my spiritual beast?”

Then, a middle-aged man jumped out of the forest and stood on the head of the Fire Demon Lizard. There were also two young men beside him who were smiling.

Humans were actually the ones behind this! Adrian gritted his teeth and looked at the people before him angrily. “Why did you kill Gary?”

“He’s a piece of trash, so I just killed him.” The middle-aged man was called Cenir. He squatted down with a relaxed expression and looked down at the Limitless Rabbit and Armored Mane Pig. Then, he smiled and said, “However, I still want to thank that piece of trash for leaving so many marks for us to follow and find. We even met two cute little fellows.”

After hearing this, Adrian finally understood how these people had found them. It turned out that they had discovered the marks left by Gary!

Meanwhile, Alice, who was standing not far away, couldn’t help but turn pale.

She had warned Gary not to leave any marks behind, but he had done it behind her back.

The thought of this made her sad and guilty at the same time. If she had stopped Gary with more conviction yesterday, none of this might have happened.

Adrian clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He raised his head to look at Cenir, who was on the head of the massive lizard, and asked in exasperation, “What’s your purpose? Are you here for two spiritual beasts? If you need spiritual beasts, we can help you. Why do you need to kill?”

Cenil didn’t answer Adrian. Instead, he just looked at him admiringly and said softly, “Little buddy, you didn’t have to die in the first place because I liked your courage.”

“After all, there are cowards everywhere in this world, but you are the first person to face my spiritual beast so bravely.”

At this point, Cenir’s tone suddenly changed. His expression slowly turned cold as he said indifferently, “However, you must die now because you saw my appearance.”

Beads of sweat appeared on Adrian’s forehead. He was now still a few feet away from the Fire Demon Lizard. He didn’t know if this distance would cause the Fire Demon Lizard to fall ill.

Furthermore, he really wanted to continue getting closer, but he was worried that if the Fire Demon Lizard wasn’t infected, he would be slapped to death.

Alice, who was standing at the back, was extremely worried about Adrian standing alone in front. Thus, she immediately ordered the Limitless Rabbit to run over to protect him. Charles did the same when he saw this.

At this moment, the Limitless Rabbit and the Armored Mane Pig stood on both sides of Adrian. Even if they did not do anything, they would give Adrian a great sense of security.

However, Adrian knew that these two Level-2 spiritual beasts combined wouldn’t be able to defeat this Level-3 Fire Demon Lizard.

This was because for every level a spiritual beast gained, they would experience a qualitative leap of strength!

Suddenly, Adrian realized a very serious problem.

Usually, when entering the Spiritual Beast Forest, they would form groups to hunt beasts. However, why were there only three people in front of him?

“Crap!” Adrian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He didn’t even have time to turn around before he hurriedly shouted, “Be careful! They still have other teammates!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

The sound of a flintlock rang out from behind!

Immediately after, there were several deafening gunshots!

Adrian’s heart almost broke upon hearing this!

He’d seen Gary’s misery and could no longer bear the pain of losing Alice and Charles.

“Alice… Charles…”

Adrian’s breathing became ragged and his eyes were dancing with despair.

He did not dare to turn back, afraid that he would see something he did not want to see.

However, in the end, Adrian turned his head back stiffly. To his surprise, the scene of Alice and Charles dying did not appear. Instead, the three men who had tried to ambush them fell to the ground.

He saw Alice holding a flintlock and smiling confidently at Adrian.

Adrian was secretly relieved to see that neither of them was hurt. He could not help but respond with a smile.

Meanwhile, Cenir looked at the corpses of his three subordinates that he had nurtured for many years from afar. In the end, he could not even deal with a single woman. He could not help but clench his fists tightly, his heart surging with rage!

Initially, Cenir wanted to send them to ambush Alice and Charles. After all, if the owner of a contractual spiritual beast died, the spiritual beast would become ownerless again. At that time, he could easily establish a contract with these two spiritual beasts.

However, he didn’t expect that his cleverness would backfire on him. Not only did his three subordinates not release their spiritual beasts, they didn’t even injure a single person before they were all killed! How could he not feel vexed?

“Idiots! Idiots! They’re all idiots!” Cenir kicked the giant lizard’s head angrily. Then, he furiously shouted, “Kill them all! Kill them all!”
