Alchemy & Martial Supreme

If the Origin Beast didn't attack them, they would be able to pass through smoothly.    

They were gambling with their lives, betting that the Origin Beast would not attack them.    

Although it was sad, there was nothing they could do.    

In most cases, they could pass, but in most cases, there was a very small possibility that they would die here.    

Old Liu only joined the caravan and went to the cities a few times. He wasn't someone of status in the group, he was just a Mid True Dragon Realm Martial Cultivator.    

In the end, Elder Qi still needed to decide whether he wanted to leave or not.    

However, Elder Qi didn't say anything right now. His face was gloomy as he continued forward. Then, everyone could only follow behind him.    

No one knew what Elder Qi was thinking, but they all knew that he didn't want to leave this place.    

Actually, most of the Martial Cultivator didn't want to leave just like that.    

This place was only one of the dangers. There were countless dangers along the way to the city. If they retreated now and encountered an even more dangerous situation, what would they do?    

Retreat?    

In that case, they would never be able to think of a city in their entire lives.    

In many places, there was always nowhere to retreat to.    

"Something's not right. Look, those Origin Beast's strength seems to have reached the mid-stage True Dragon Realm?" A Martial Cultivator exclaimed, "They haven't even reached the center of the forest yet, and the Mid True Dragon Realm Origin Beast has already appeared in groups. When they reach the center, wouldn't the Late True Dragon Realm Origin Beast appear in groups?"    

"It might even appear... a Peak True Dragon Realm Origin Beast."    

Everyone's hearts trembled as they looked in the direction where the Martial Cultivator was pointing. Indeed, there was a group of about 20 Origin Beast. Their eyes were glowing with green light as they stared at them from afar.    

This place was far from the center of the forest. If there was a group of Mid True Dragon Realm Origin Beast here, what kind of danger would they encounter if they entered the deepest part of the forest?    

Everyone knew that they could not go any further. Something that they did not know must have happened in the forest. If they rashly went there, they would only step into the Death Realm.    

"Retreat!" Elder Qi gritted his teeth and finally let out a low roar.    

He did not want to retreat. If they did, they would have to return to the Yuan Tribe and change their route.    

But no matter how they changed, they would have to pass through the group of robbers and pay the black stones.    

Although they had already paid once, the robbers wouldn't mind taking it again.    

The rule was once, take it once.    

If that was the case, they would have to pay three times, a total of 1,500 blackstones of the Second Stage.    

This was not a small amount.    

This time, the merchant group had gone to the city to earn blackstones. They had only left for a short period of time, and yet they had already paid such a huge price. In that case, they would earn very little from this trip.    

Therefore, Elder Qi really didn't want to withdraw.    

For the other Martial Cultivator merchants, they did not need to pay for the black stones that they paid. It was just a delay of some time. Although there were losses, the losses were far worse than his.    

For the sake of their lives, the Martial Cultivator naturally wanted to leave.    

Elder Qi did not want to leave, but he was also afraid that the merchant group would encounter a large-scale battle inside. This way, the losses would outweigh the gains.    

After weighing the pros and cons, he still chose to retreat, even if he would lose a large amount of blackstone.    

Hearing Elder Qi say retreat, everyone let out a sigh of relief in their hearts.    

The team slowly changed direction and returned the way they came.    

However, they stopped not long after.    

Looking at the Origin Beast blocking in front of them, the hearts of everyone in the merchant group trembled.    

What appeared in front of them were around 50 late-stage True Dragon Realm Origin Beast.    

A total of over 50 of them silently stood behind them, staring at them just like that.
