Armipotent

These creatures had the look of a ferret and the long body of the otter. The proportion of these creatures\' bodies was quite off, especially when they were standing. When they opened their mouths, jigsaw-like teeth showed up.

Lu An activated the [Basic Detection] skill on one of the creatures to see how strong these creatures were.

Looking at the detection result, he remembered what Miragul had told him earlier. The green land was the Minke Tribe\'s territory, and the creatures in front of him were Minke. The fact that the Minke Tribe was around level 600 and the highest one was level 732 was a relief to Lu An. Meaning the monsters on the first floor were relatively weak.

\'But these Minke are still a threat to the Tarriors,\' He thought to himself. The average level of the Tarriors was around level 400-ish to level 600-ish. While the elf, Moonlight Tribe, and Alton\'s subordinates were relatively higher in level.

"I will make the way out of the encirclement, and you follow me closely, Helia," Lu An decided to escape instead of fighting the Minke Tribe. Despite their overwhelming number, he could fight them all, but there was no benefit from killing the Minke Tribe. He would rather leave the Minke for the Tarriors to fight to level up.

Using the Shadow Step, Lu An rushed to the Minke in front of him. His right hand held the sword while his left hand carried Donald Callahan with him. He was not going to leave the man to die this early. Within the next second, Lu An appeared in front of Minke. The shadow covered his red sword, and when he slashed the sword toward the Minke, the shadow extended forward, cutting five Minke\'s heads simultaneously.

In the next second, Lu An had entered the forest area. He did not go deeper into the forest as he wanted to see whether The Minke Tribe would follow him into the forest. He would lure them into the ideal area for Tarriors to fight them if they followed him. However, as he predicted, the Minke Tribe did not dare to enter the forest. He could hear the furious hissing from the Minke, but they did not dare to enter the forest.

Lu An shrugged and turned around, continuing walking back to the base. On the way back, he did not encounter the people who chased after Revalor, "Did Revalor Kill them already?"

Halfway back to the base, he heard a lot of movement in front of him. Lu An remained calm because he knew who was coming. Sure enough, he saw Zhang Mengyao lead the main force toward him. The main force meant all of them.

Zhang Mengyao stopped in front of Lu An and checked the youngster from top to bottom. Lu An was like her little brother already, so she was deeply worried after hearing from Revalor that Lu An stayed behind to fight against a group of over a thousand people, "You okay?"

"I am fine. They are afraid that the reinforcement will come, so they escaped when they realized that they could not kill me," Lu An nodded and reported what happened.

Zhang Mengyao let out a relieved sigh after Arina made an okay gesture toward her, indicating Lu And was fine. Then she glanced at the disfigured man in Lu An\'s left hand, "Is this the guy who insulted your Brother Shaoyang?"

Zhang Mengyao had heard what happened from Revalor, the reason why Lu An stayed behind. She was glad about Revalor\'s decisiveness to leave Lu An and called the reinforcement immediately. It would be wasting time to convince Lu An as she was well aware that Lu An would not leave, especially if it was Revalor. He won\'t listen to the Former Elven King, and Revalor would be just wasting his time. She did not blame Revalor for leaving Lu An behind in that scenario.

"Yeah," Lu An nodded with a smile.

"Better you just kill him. We don\'t want the Tang Empire\'s name dirty just because we treat this guy inhumanely," Zhang Mengyao furrowed her brow upon seeing Donald Callahan\'s condition.

"No one will know unless our people spread the rumor," Lu An said while scanning the Tarriors, and all of them looked away from Lu An\'s chilling gaze. "But you are right. Just in case someone with a big mouth spreads the rumor, I will kill this poor guy," Lu An stabbed the sword into Donald Callahan\'s skull, killing the man instantly.

"Ah, I also met with the Minke Tribe in the next area. The tribe that controls the green land…." Lu An described the Minke to Zhang Mengyao, their appearance, and also their power. "We can ask Miragul how strong this Minke Tribe is and start to plan to fight them afterward. It would be a good experience for our Tarriors too."

Zhang Mengyao nodded, "Though I doubt this Minke Tribe is good enough for our elite Tarriors, we need to fight them sooner or later anyway."

The Tarriors that joined the expedition were around level 700 to level 800, so the Minke Tribe should not be an issue for them. They were the best of the best from the Tarrior since the Dimensional Tower was extremely important.

Revalor brought back the Miragul to Lu An, and it explained what it knew about the Minke Tribe, "I think The Minke is attracted to this man\'s blood; that\'s why they chase and set up an ambush for you, Sir. The Minke has a keen smell, and they love blood for sure."

"I do believe the Minke Tribe\'s leader has not reached the Epic Rank yet," The Miragul added at the end.
